Hello everyone! My nexus 5 is stock 4.4 rooted with chainfire, and stock recovery.
I received the notification to update to 4.4.2, and accepted, unfortunately it failed, and rebooted normally. I had frozen some system apps with titanium backup (i.e google play music) and think that might've been an issue. I also altered the files necessary to tether.
Wondering how I can try to flash this again? Where is the update stored once downloaded? Can I just flash it in my stock recovery? Thanks for the help in advance.
I have the same problem. I just uninstalled a few apps like play music. Phone is rooted with twrp as recovery.

I actually have stock recovery. I just located the update with root explorer in /cache. Can I just flash this update in fastboot on my phone? (Vol up+down + power?)

Freezing apps is fine, it's the tethering mod that is preventing the OTA from flashing.
You can download the factory image and update that way. Flash them one at a time so your data doesn't get wiped.

So I've downloaded all my apps and mods for my stock rooted Nexus 5(running android 4.4), how could I get and android 4.4.1 without unrooting?

If you're using the stock kernel and haven't changed anything at all in /system, you can just flash the update in recovery. I'm stock rooted with TWRP, and it flashed just fine for me.
Could you give me a link to the update please!?

It's on the first page of general.
Did not work for me. Running stock with twrp. It mentioned something about unexpected info in build/prop file. Is it because I'm running art?

You must have modified your build.prop. Revert it back to stock and it should work.
posted this in another thread but wasn't getting much action, this one seems busier
Just flashed the official 4.4.1 zip file using TWRP onto my phone and rebooted...
Now i'm getting constant errors with every google application.
non-stop popups saying "unfortunately google play store has stopped"
My APN's all deleted themselves as well and now I can't even add any back in, I fill all the information in and I hit save and it doesn't save anything. No service now..
couldn't do a factory reset, button wouldn't respond
anyone else have any problems like this. I've tried wiping my dalvik and cache but that failed. had to wipe data first, then cache worked, then dalvik finally wiped...
I'll set my phone back up and see if it works now, just going through first boot procedures
Mines worked perfectly, no problems and camera loads and captures faster

I actually had the same things you mentioned in my stock n5, I wasn't even rooted (just unlocked) and it suddenly did all the things you said. I did all the same you did haha but I had to reflash factory images and it worked again, but I have no idea of what happened.

I did, but still got the error. But then I pasted in my backup build.prop from ROM toolbox and it worked! Then while in TWRP I reflashed TWRP (TWRPception!). However, when I went to reboot it did not prompt me to root the device. So I'm running 4.4.1 stock kernel with TWRP, but no root. TWRP never prompts to root. Does anyone know of a .zip I can flash to root the N5 via TWRP?

I was able to root using CF auto root :cyclops:
Did you maybe delete data for Google Framework in order to get the OTA quicker?
Dan Morrill (an Android engineer) said that that is REALLY not recommended because it can have all sorts of problems with all google apps. Doing that erases your device fingerprint used for push notifications, device identification etc. The playstore was definitely affected by this as well.

has anyone who bought the Nexus 5 from the indian play store received the 4.4.1 update ? have been hitting the "check now" button for a while but to no avail
are you rooted or using custom recovery/kernel?

Stock . i was rooted until yesterday .
you changed any system files? fonts etc?
Update is rolling out based on imei. Only few have received it.
You can sideload using adb. No risk of lossing data.
If you are rooted, you need to re-root

Hi.. I am rooted with TWRP custom recovery. Flashing the update gives an error regarding the system file.
So how to go about it?

I own a rooted Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2. Yesterday the N5 "saw" the 4.4.3 update, so I've downloaded it and then installed it, but while the phone was rebooting after the installation, it displayed the dead android logo with an error message. I've shut it down and reboot the phone but it is still running the 4.4.2 instead of the 4.4.3 and it doesn't receive the new update again. What can I do?
Download a rooted version of the 4.4.3 Stock ROM from here on XDA.

What's the error message? Did you previouslt root the phone on 4.4.2 by yourself or did you buy it which is already rooted?

I rooted it by myself on KitKat 4.4.2.
what system mods did you make? this includes kernels and any changes to ANY file in the /system directory.
Download Vomers rom and flash it. Its stock 4.4.3. That's what I did and its running smoothly.

[Q] in title most definitely means this should be in q&a and not general.
The reason it failed is because you weren't stock (kernel, recovery, all system apps, no xposed framework). You need all of those to flash ota.
Like posted above, download @vomer's 4.4.3 ROM and flash it. It's the same thing. I ran it for a week and its golden

I had the same problem and the only "mod" I did was the tethering mod where I added the tether_dun_required 0 change to the settings.db file
Would that be the reason why mine failed? I unlocked bootloader, rooted STOCK.

Would probably need to know the error message to further troubleshoot the issue.
If you want root after an OTA, you have to fastboot flash a custom recovery then flash the superSU zip to root, so as suggested you may aswell fastboot flash recovery then recovery flash the stock rooted rom already mentioned. Actually fewer steps doing that.

hello guys
i installed cm11 through one click installer had cwm on it now suddenly after reboot its taking me to simple recovery?!?
dont know what happened..need help
in my rom manager app its still showing current recovery as cwm 6.0.4.5 but when i reboot to recovery it takes me to simple recovery
pls help!
ok edit : when i go to recovery from rom manager app it takes me to cwm but when i do it manually ( advanced power button and volume + power button) it takes me to simple?
edit again : when i click on install from sd card (to install m9) it takes me back to simple recovery even from within rom manager??
first off, get rid of rom manager. itll has so many issues and will cause you many headaches. what you did first is not flash a recovery to your device, you just booted it. thats only for a one time use. you need to flash the custom recovery to have it permanently on your phone.
Reflash your recovery. And I recommend TWRP. I hear complaints ALL the time with CWR due to bugs but never TWRP. I've used CWR in the past on my Droid X. But I've since gone TWRP and I'm never looking back.

use the flashify app, its free, and can be used to flash other things besides a recovery. its a great app. you dont need rom manager to get into a recovery ever. if you press the power button(long), youll get a menu, press reboot. then youll get 3 more option, reboot/recovery/bootloader, press recovery(after you use flashify to flash your recovery).
I recommended Rom Installer over Flashify. It will download your recovery for you and keep it up to date. It will provide ROM updates. Also you can create a queue of zips to flash before you reboot. Then it flashes them automatically. It's a really good app. Way better then ROM Manager. Made by Jrummy so you know it's good . Not trying to bash @simms22. It's just my preferred app.

No. UNINSTALL ROM Manager now please. It's causing issues. Custom recoveries replace stock ones. Flash TWRP or CWR using the methods we suggested.

Hi. After flashing my N5 from android 5.0.1 to 5.1 i lost root on my phone. Ive tried flashing the SU apk in recovery mode but it doesnt work. Bootloader is still unlocked and i had been using franco kernal, before i lost root access. Any ideas how i could get root back?
More info needed. What do you mean it didnt work? Did you relash twrp after you updated? That might be your problem right there.

Download and flash in a custom recovery. Use TWRP if you aren't already.
