Issue with update to latest version of kit kat - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am having trouble updating my Nexus 5 to the latest version. I get the notification to update and it begins to run however, after about 20% it errors and all I can see is the little android error icon. Has anyone else encountered this?

Have you made any changes to the ROM prior to trying to update?

No It is running the stock version with no dodgy apps installed at all.

Strange. Maybe the update file is corrupted.

Can you check the build number?

Yeah it is Build number KRT16M

Has anyone got an answer or is there an issue with the device and I need to replace it? it's currently running 4.4 and is trying to install 4.4.2... Could it be an issue with it trying to bypass the 4.4.1 update? I have even done a factory re set and it still errors when trying to install the update.

You could just download the 4.4.2 factory image and manually flash it (leaving out the userdata.img so you don't reset everything) you'll be fine

ICS OTA i9020A

Does anyone from Brazil (or some near country) received the ICS OTA? I'm back to 2.3.6 - just to see how the update is going here - and not even a clue about the OTA. Tried check in, clearing data of Google Framework, etc... I know I can flash the OTA but would be nice to see some better update support here
Thanks!

Ha..ha....ha...... not funny
Did you flash a zip that contains stock kernel, stock rom and stock recovery? And of course did the superuser app appear in the app drawer after first boot?

hehe im not a noob on it. i have installed the images from google ( https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#soju ) without superuser, so im on stock 2.3.6 with bootloader unlocked only and CWM touch (this shouldnt matter for OTA AFAIK).
EDIT: oops, forgot to delete the install-recovery.sh so im with stock bootloader as well

Hi! I'm from Uruguay.
First of all, lets make it clear that I'm a Big NOOB on android. My Nexus S is my first android phone.
I've a brand new Nexus S, updated with Android 2.3.6. I've tried to update over OTA, but the phone displays that the software is up to date, giving me no chance to update to ICS.
I didn't make any modification in the software of my phone.
Thanks.

Stock Nexus 7 2013 WiFi ROM KOT49H Android 4.4.2

Hi,
I'm using only stock rom, rooted and with xposed mods on my Nexus devices. Because of trying some things out, I want to have a stock rom update.zip from the latest Factory Image on my device to have the security to flash it back to stock without a computer.
So, I've managed with some help this update.zip. It's absolutely pure stock. Not rooted, not deodexed or anything else (to root, there is a link below)
I think, some of you are thinking the same and so I want to share this update zip. I hope you have fun with it.
It works with CWM and TWRP Recovery!

Hi, i understand. Razor or flo?

Is this flo?
Razor is the codename and flo the productname of Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi model.
So it's both. Razor and flo ?

Will it flash stock recovery as well?

Nope, just the ROM itself, meaning no stock recovery or anything else you'd get by flashing the stock image

[Q] Quick root question

Hey! when ifirst got my nexus 5 (few months ago) i rooted it and instaled purity rom with trinity kernel and everything worked fine,
how ever like a month ago when i updated my kernel, when i launch supersu it saids no su binary installed please re root. at the time i didnt care so i just left it but know i would like to root it again (its weird if my phone is not rooted how do i still have purity rom and stuff like that)
anyway is there a way i can reroot without losing ANYTHING? i spent way to many hours setting up my nova launcher settings and stuff that that because im a theme whore lol
i haven't been keeping up with the latest stuff so let me know! thanks
PS im not using my own computer so if i reroot do i have to install all the adb drivers and stuff on this pc?
Hi,
Same thing happened to me, just flash SuperSU in recovery: http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip, it should do the trick.

Amazing! worked perfectly thanks for quick reply !! woot!
just so you know as well... root is independent of ROMs. you can have custom ROMs without root.
And also its not rooting that wipes a device, its unlocking the bootloader

[Q] 4.4.3 update Cyanogenmod 11

I woke up this morning like usual grabbing my phone before i headed out the door. When I was watching a youtube video a 4.4.3 system update notification showed up, i assumed it must be the next snapshot from cm but it wasn't the same as a am update it looks like an update that would come from google. I would like to know if i should download and flash or re flash cm or anything would be helpful. the update is 92.2 MB if anyone is wondering. thanks in advance.
You should look at this. You're on a custom Rom and recovery. You may have other things that would cause the update to fail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47369234

You can't install an OTA from Google while on a custom ROM. It will fail.

[Q] Unlocked/Rooted Nexus 5 (stock) gets error when doing OTA Lollipop update

I have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 KTU84P running a stock image that was updated OTA.
I've been getting the OTA update all day but it keeps failing to install. The error says there is an issue with the file in the /cache/ folder. I've been able to update OTA in the past until this version.
I wouldn't mind just using Nexus Root Toolkit to update but to do that don't I have to unroot and wipe the device? I just want to update without wiping the device.
Is it possible?

Are you on the stock recovery or do you have a custom recovery. You must be on stock

Custom. TWRP I believe. Whatever the one the Nexus Toolkit uses.

Then why was I able to update to 4.3 and 4.4 both while TWRP was installed? I had 0 problems.

There is an option on the Toolkit to revert the recovery back to stock. Will that be enough to install the update or do I have to unroot as well?

The tool kit will probably return you to stock and wipe your device. Skip the tool kit. Just flash the stock recovery in fastboot. If you don't know how see @rootSU's sticky in the general forum

Just going to jump in here...
my nexus is just rooted and unlocked... but is on stock
But still no luck...
do i need to unroot?
Thanks
Same here... Mine is also only rooted and unlocked (everything is stock) but when update started in recovery error appears...
I tried only to see what it looks like, but because xposed and ART don't like each other i'll stay on KK
