I'd used the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh to root. After that Google Play Games just opens up then closes back down. I've uninstalled and re-installed from Play Store and it didn't fix it. Is there a way to fix this without flashing factory file?
Any ideas how to fix this without flash?
have you tried fixing permissions in your custom recovery? are you using art or dalvik?

Not sure, used the Nexus Root Tool default settings for Nexus 5 for KRT16M build. How do I check and adjust this?
What recovery did you install? CWM or TWRP?

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?

Have a look in the sticky threads, at the top of general. It should be obvious which one

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.

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.

Okay, I've looked everywhere but I haven't found any solutions. I was running PA and everything was fine. Flashed purity, booted, and phone was FC. Went back to twrp (latest version) to restore backup. It requested a password. I have never set one. I hit cancel, clicked restore, and my entire sdcard partition is gone. Tried cwm, same thing. Error mounting /data. I'd really appreciate some help here. I'm an experienced ROM flasher. Been doing it a while. Is there anything I can do to fix it, short of flashing factory image?

Try wipe cache first

I just kept trying to format data and it finally worked. Weird. I'm adb side loading PA right now so hopefully that'll work.
Edit: just finished sideloading. It booted, but on the setup screen, I have a reoccurring "unfortunately, phone has stopped" message. Recovery still says unable to mount storage when trying to wipe anything.

Completely unnecessary.
The ROM has a backup script that saves your Google apps as well as the dialer if you flashed that. That conflicts with a fresh install.
All you need to do is, factory reset, wipe system so that the script has nothing to backup, them flash ROM and gapps. That's it.

I've applied previous OTA zips by just flashing in TWRP. However I'm getting an error this time around. I'm on the KK build ending in P, but when i try to flash Lollipop it says my build fingerprint is incorrect, that it's the KK build ending in H. Anyone have insight on why this is?

As it says, you're not 100% stock so it won't flash
This would be due to my recovery and xposed i take it? Or strictly xposed?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Definitely Xposed, probably recovery as well
Xposed. You'll not just need to uninstall the xposed files, but the app too as ART doesn't like to boot with that app installed.
Recovery is fine. Only issue would be that an OTA.wouldnt automatically install. You'd have to manually boot into recovery to flash.

Do i need to sideload the ota zip in recovery or flash like normal?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
You may want to look at flashing a full ROM.zip instead as it will be much easier.

I can just fastboot flash the images separately... Which ones do i omit to keep recovery and user data?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Don't flash userdata.img and your storage data will be fine. If you want to keep your custom recovery, don't flash recovery.img.

Funnily enough, recovery.img and userdata.img haha
Also you'll need to delete:
/system/recovery.init.boot.p
/system/bin/install-recovery.sh
Before boot, although flashing superSU should prevent them installing stock recovery

You listed two files i need to delete. Is that before or after flashing the img files?
I've never had a problem before, i don't get why it's failing now... Keeps saying I'm showing an old build fingerprint. Never seen this error before.
Short of being rooted, I've removed any modifications to my system. Really don't feel like wiping the whole device.

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.
