Hello everyone,
I wanted to update my nexus 5 from 4.4 to 4.4.2 but every time I try, even if I unrooted the phone and flashed the original kernel I get the same error while flashing the OTA with TWRP:
Verifying current system...
"system/bin/thermal-engine-hh" has unexpected (something out of the screen)
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ...
I'm not very good at this things, can someone help me?

You need to use fastboot and flash the system and boot image from 4.4

thank you but can you be a little bit more specific? I have fastboot on my computer but I don't know how to use it.. and what's the difference between system and boot image? I have to flash the entire 4.4.2 500mb image found on google? Do I have to be unrooted and with original kernel? Thank you very much

You don't have to be unrooted. Download the factory image and extract the files from it. In there is another zip file which needs to be extracted. In there you'll find the system and boot images
Uninstall Xposed if you have it, also, you should try this: flash the 4.4 system.img extracted from the factory image then try flashing the OTA zip again.

Doesn't work for me. Get an error while installing the Zip. But at the main time i use volume mode, dsp manager etc....and i saw that any modification would break the OTA so perhaps it's because of that it doesn't work

I managed to go from 4.4 to 4.4.2. I followed different stuff but overall what i did on my 4.4.2 custom kernel :
Copy http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-hammerhead-KOT49H-from-KRT16M.b3d1f307.zip to sdcard
Flash the KRT16M stock image. Follow @abaaaabbbb63 guide forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
If you want to keep data intact flash only the boot.img, system.img
Once the last file is flashed, just go from fastboot to recovery mode then install the .zip http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-hammerhead-KOT49H-from-KRT16M.b3d1f307.zip like you would install any zip from recovery (install zip from sdcard)
reboot
ps : I had lost root so if it's your case, just reflash recovery :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511952
I had kept the files untouched in my C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> so i just had to open cmd in that directoy (****+right click --> cmd)
Then :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now 4.4.2 with root and no loss of data
I have a Nexus 5 that has been rooted, unlocked bootloader and I deleted some of the system apps (cant's remember which). I received the OTA update for the 4.4.3 update few says back. Clicked the update, after the download process went through, the phone restarted to install. But then my phone just went dead, it popped up a dead android with the word "error" underneath it x-P.
I know the problem has to do with me uninstalling system apps so is there anyway for me to update to 4.4.3 without wiping my data, if not, I have no problem doing it anyway (nothing too important on my nexus...) Thanks.
Download the factory images of 4.4.3 and flash system, bootloader, recovery and radio.. Doing so will not wipe your data!

Put your phone in bootloader mode and flash the 4.4.3 system img you'll be fine:good:
Download the factory image and flash boot.img, cache.img and system.img, and the new radios.

You'll need fastboot setup on your computer. Once you have is setup just go to the link I posted. You just need to double click on the flash-all

The flash-all.bat/flash-all.sh wipes if I'm not mistaken.
To the OP:
Download the Android SDK and set up fastboot, there are stickied threads for it in the General Section.
Download the factory images and take out boot.img, cache.img and system.img (inside a .zip inside the already compressed file), as well as the radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img. put them in fastboot directory
Open a cmd prompt in fastboot directory and type (pressing enter after each line, wait for each individual one to complete):

fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img

It might be slightly different on a Linux computer but it should be in the stickies, or search

Since I installed 5.0 is it safe to just take the OTA and re root or do you have to restore to stock recovery and all that jazz again?
It won't apply unless you're 100% stock.

You could just grab a stock 5.0.1 zip that's more than likely floating around. Someone always releases one, usually with root. Just don't forget the modem and kernel.
I looked for one an hour nor two back for someone. Think there will be one soon, but not yet that in could find but yeah, waiting for that is the best option
5.0.1 update

What is so different now that it needs to be stock for updates? Is it the new file system?

The update updates in blobs, not complete files. So if there is anything modified or missing it fails. That includes the recovery, system, kernel and radio.

Hi.
I'm trying to apply 5.0.1 OTA file to my Nexus 5.0.0 (rooted with SuperSU).
When upgrading from 4.4.4 to 5.0.0, I had to flash stock recovery over TWRP to be able to apply 5.0.0 from 4.4.4 OTA file.
So I made the same now :
- reflash stock recovery from 5.0.0 stock
- upgrade adb to 1.0.32
But when I try to sideload OTA ZIP file, upload stop at 60% and I have this error :
Code:
"/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unespected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
I have to reflash system.img from 5.0.0 stock too ? I won't loose any data unless I flash userdata.img file, right ?
Thanks for your help.

So I installed the lateat CM12 nightly, wasn't really impressed yet and went to go restore my backup and once it's done restoring, it get stuck at the bootscreen animation. Just keeps going and going abs going. I used the latest cwm touch recovery as CM12 is not compatible with MultiROM. I would just flash the factory img back but my computer decided to it doesn't ever want to recognize adb avid fastboot on Linux.
Anyone know where I can find a flashable zip for the factory 5.0.1 ROM? Any help would be appreciated!

You're on a custom Rom. The ota isn't going to work. And you don't need to relock your bootloader. If you can afford to wipe your data download the 5.0.1 factory image. Extract it and use the flash-all.bat

Well, unfortunately, there isn't a 5.0.1 flashable rom available right now. If you can't get fastboot to work on your Linux machine you're kind of sol as you need to be 100% stock to get the ota to work. That means stock recovery in your case. Google recovery zip collection xda. There's a custom recovery flashable stock recovery there.

Get wugfreshes Toolbox. It has access to all factory images. Some people are not fans of "one click solutions" but this has never let me down.
There's a flushable zip on here also. Put it in a search in the app and you should come across it. It IS the full version.
Did you ever find out why the CWM restore led to getting stuck on boot animation??
Just ran into this last night. Tried restoring 2 different CWM backups and both got stuck on boot animation.
I eventually got a new ROM flashed. Going to try TWRP recovery I suppose.
I know I never had this problem with 4.4, this was the first time I have restored a LP ROM..

My guess would be; cwm hasn't been optimized for Lollipop. Cyanogen has just recently started working on 5.0 and they probably haven't touched the recovery too much. But that's just my guess.

Use Nexus Root Toolkit that allows you to download and flash the original image of the version you prefer
if you flash the image from a rootkit, wouldnt you have to start from scratch?
