[Q] updating 4.3.3

I've heard about a android 4.3.3 update coming but I've rooted my Nexus 5 recently so I'm still kinda new to all this. I was wondering I would update to this when it comes out while keeping my Kernal and all that good stuff. Thanks!

read the stickies, the ota one will tell you all you need to know. As for me, I'm rooted, stock kernel, and custom recovery. I plan on flashing the next update in recovery.

also why do you want to downgrade to 4.3.3? when launched last november, this phone shipped with 4.4.

Don't be a ****. He obviously meant 4.4.3

Same. I am rooted with framework. So I uninstall framework from the app. Put flash file on nexus 5. Boot into recovery and flash as normal? Do I need to clear data and will I lose root?

There's no need to wipe data. And, yes, you'll loose root, so just need to re-root it again

So I just flash on top of it? And would it not be hard to re-root because it's a new android version?

Once you're updated, you just need to flash the supersu zip again to gain root access.. No, it shouldn't be hard to re-root!

[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.

5.0 is different. Trust me on this

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

Lollipop 5.0.1 home screen bug - Ram consumption

Hi everyone,
I have a Nexus 5 working under lollipop 5.0.1 ( not rooted )and, just like the 5.0.0, my phone bug a little bit after working a lot on the phone.
The Ram turns to + 70% of consummption and the phone bugs whenever I try to get to the home screen until I restart the phone ( almost everyday )
I use Cleaner to clean my phone.
I thought about going a full reset to the phone and try if this problem will be fixed ( I'll need ur suggestions for the best app backup )
If it doesn't work, I'll try to root my phone ( my last option )
So what you think guys ??!
PS : I can upload a video showing the issue I have if necessary.
Thanks.

I thought the 5.0.1 fixed the bug ..

Anyone ?

Try one of the AOSP 5.0.2 ROMs which has the fix. Optipop is pretty good. Cataclysm is good but it doesn't have the fixes in AOSP last I checked.

You don't have to root to have a custom rom. You just need a custom recovery

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is flash twrp with fastboot. Then flash the rom of your choice and see if it fixes your bug

I'll try that, Thanks.

Alternatively you can also reboot your phone as a temporary fix.

5.1.1 to CM12.1 advice please

Hi
Stock 5.1.1 LMY48B
rooted with TWRP installed.
Can I flash to CM12.1 just by flashing the zip from TWRP ?
will I lose any data ? Do I need to worry about bootloader or radio versions ?
If I want to go back is it as simple as flashing my nandroid backup ?
Thanks

As I know going from rom to rom you need to make a factory reset.
That will remove all what is stored on /data
All apps, cache and dalvik cache.
All other data insidr /storage/sdcard will be on safe
As I know stock rom cannot be restored, but I just take this device before 1 day. I don't know for that, because on mine previous phone that was impossible

CM nightlies include a radio and bootloader so you don't have to worry about that.

Even if I never tried you should be able to restore a stock nandroid backup thru TWRP (you don't flash anything).

Thanks I'll try this at the weekend ?

No they don't.
But since he's upgraded to stock 5.1.x already, everything is up to date and there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Google's bootloaders usually have good forward- and backward-compatibility.

From Jira:
Me => CM (AOSP) is the only rom which has a bootloader and a radio into its zip. Why? Could you remove them?
I was on the newest bootloader HHz12f and a radio from KRT16M. Every time I flash CM nightlies I have to update my bootloader and flash an older radio. Very annoying.
Thank you.
CM Team => Sorry, we will continue to ship both. It saves us more headaches in the long run. Thanks for your understanding.
It's as simple as that.

Custom ROMs have a check into their update-script for the bootloader version. If you don't have the good one then you can't flash it.

Rooting MMB29X

Hi everyone , i was wondering if any of you guys found a good way to root the latest version version , i tried to manually root via recovery but nothing , please let me know if any of you guys sucessfully did , thanks in addvance .

Yes, pretty much everybody, I'd guess. What method did you use? SuperSU? Doitright?
Best to think of all the answers you want and supply the info up front - you save everybody a lot of time, not least yourself.

I used SuperSU , 3 or 4 different versions 3 betas and 1 not beta then bootloop after every SuperSU installation .. Then I flashed the boot partition again and I removed the bootloop but the root was not there ..
