First post from a long time lurker! I haven't quite seen this question answered elsewhere so hope not to get flamed
Assuming I were to unlock, root and change the kernel of the N5 (but still use the stock ROM) am I right in assuming that I cannot then accept OTAs?
If so:
a) How are OTAs for the stock rom then installed?
b) Are there risks that you end up in a boot loop if an OTA comes along? If so, is there a setting to actually block automatic OTAs?
Thanks in advance!

I remember seeing one right around release but some users reported problems.
Anyone know of a working one with the things I mentioned?

Rooted, deodexed, stock ROM.
I know I can always add root back but be nice to have it baked in. Any rom out there like this?

Hey guys,
So I am currently on 4.4.0 with the Camera Mod V1.3 installed. What's the best way to prepare myself for the 4.4.1 OTA update? As far as I'm aware, I will have to make the camera stock again.
I am rooted with CF-Root and have TWRP recovery installed. Do I have to worry about those prior to doing the OTA update?
Cheers

I know it may look weird. I had 4.4 then I unlocked and rooted it. Then I used OTA 4.4.1 zip file to flash the OTA. Now, how can I get back to my stock 4.4 and run OTA online without needing root?

Hey,
I've currently received a notification for an OTA update to 4.4.2 on my rooted Nexus 5. I was under the impression that if you root your phones, you no longer get updates OTA (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508292). For example, with 4.4.1 I manually flashed the .zip file. My question is should I update using OTA or should I manually flash 4.4.2? Are there advantages/disadvantages to both? And why am I getting OTA updates when my device is rooted?

Maybe a silly question, but....
Does a baseband switcher tool exist for the Nexus 5, like there is for the Defy (for example)?
I bought my N5 from the US, but using it in South East Asia and have noticed week signal issues.
Not explicitly but there are only a few basebands anyway and they're all flashable via a custom recovery

Got it- thanks for the quick reply. Would have been nice to have a tool like that for frequent travelers!
A tool that automatically boots into recovery and flashes a specific zip? Its just as quick to do that manually

Got an n5 on the way. Is there a specific radio that is generally considered best? I seem to see some posts that the 4.4.1 update made people's reception worse?

No. As with all android phones, everyone has different experiences with different radios

I don't mind manually flashing-- the nice thing about the tool for the defy (which was my previous phone) was that all the basebands are already built into the tool, so it was just a matter of going to settings and selecting the baseband.
In any case, thanks for the info
