I need the stock build.prop for the nexus 5 to update to 4.4.3 as an xposed package edited it without a backup. I tried to use the build.prop.p in the Ota . zip but it didn't work. Thanks in advance
I updated to 4.4.3 with a modified build prop with no problems

build.prop.p is a patch - i.e. not a full build prop
Use Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit:

Just to confirm, you want the latest stock 4.4.3 correct? But you will want root once updated? If yes, why not download a pre-rooted rom.zip that can be flashed via recovery instead of OTA?
I was trying to flash the Ota. Zip in recovery so I didn't lose my data and apps etc. I didn't know that rooted stock zips existed. Can you post a link.

Hello all,
Does anyone know if you root your phone, or install a custom kernel, if it will affect Nexus updates in any way?
cheers!
Rooting no, custom kernel yes
Sent from my Nexus 5
root alone, no.
if you add a custom kernel, the updates will download but fail.
Thanks for the quick reply gents!
Will root get lost if the firmware gets updated?
Also is there a stock kernel flashable zip anywhere?

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?
vía n7II r-paco
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

This doesn't auto wipe data, I assume?
Anyome have a working link to this download anynore ? I know its 4.4.2 but thisbis the version I am looking for.
I root my nexus with 4.4.3 version , after a week I decided to unroot my nexus with "toolkit".
I decides Instead the program will download the file for me, I will download the file from google's site :
after I download the file I click on:
after that I click "ok" to start unroot my nexus .
and after all this I lock my bootloader
so after that I will can to install the updates I will get like version "L"? ?
If you're fully stock then yes.
Please try to avoid using toolkits. Manual process is better.
FYI, can still get updates if rooted.

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.

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
I have a confusion after going through various threads.
I have an unlocked bootloader and the device is running Lollipop and I would like to root it.
Should I use Nexus Root Toolkit or CF-Auto-Root.
I'm confused because somewhere I read that I need a custom Kernel, but I have stock Kernel.
I would no want to change my kernel as it will stop further OTA Updates which Google Rolls-Out, according to me. Please correct me on this too if I'm wrong.
I really need help. Thanks in advance
starting from stable supersu 2.35 modified kernel is NOT required.
stay away from auto tool
Flash latest SuperSU in recovery. Stock or custom doesn't matter.
