[OTA][KRT16S][GROUPER]signed-nakasi-KRT16S-from-KRT16O.3aad414b.zip

This is just the Grouper KRT16S OTA package from Google. Bugfixes, 1.4Mb in size. ZIP file attached. I am not your tech support to get ADB working on you laptop or why your Nexus 7 does weird things after installing so don't be surprised if I ignore questions that can be answered by searching.

If you are stock and want to update from KRT16O then just drop the zip into your adb folder and sideload it in recovery:
Code:
adb sideload signed-nakasi-KRT16S-from-KRT16O-3aad414b.zip

I have a question. If this can be side loaded to recovery and I assume you mean twrp or cwm why can't it just be down loaded to device and flashed through recovery? Maybe I just don't understand what you mean by sideloaded. Thanks if you reply and if not I read the op and thanks for this

I didn't update via TWRP! I get the update OTA! Also I have unlocked BL, Root and TWRP.
If you didn't get it via OTA you can sideload the Zip from Post #1.

The stock recovery does not look for a zip on the device without a command file telling it there is one present to flash.

I believe the stock recovery will be installed with the update? but you can always reinstall TWRP with flashify......

What folder was this update downloaded too?

The OTA process works with TWRP but reloads stock recovery AND removes root. No problem getting both back through the usual methods.

I'm going to say some things not to be mean or rude but to keep you out of trouble. It is not installing because you do not know what you are doing and have not taken the initiative to learn some basics for yourself. Except for the fact you are not on the correct ROM to install this update in the first place, I would say losing root and TWRP would be the best thing for now.
You are going screw up your device and have no idea how to fix it yourself or even what information to provide for others to help you fix it. Your best bet would to be restoring to stock with a factory image and not screw around until you are up to speed.
There are ton of FAQ's and guides on this site in the general sections. Learn how to install and use ADB and fastboot. Read up on the different types up zip files and how they are installed. If you are using a one click, understand what ADB or fastboot commands are going on behind the scenes and exactly what it is pushing to your device.
Once you have a general understanding of things, please come and play around as much as you want. If you do something that causes a bootloop you will at least know how to recover your device.

A 5.4Mb recovery is not going to fit in a 1.4Mb zip file. Also see post 3, 4 and 8. Root and TWRP or CWM will remain intact. Bad information is worse than no information.

Not trying to give bad info just relating my personal experience. You are correct that a full recovery image file at 5.4mb could not fit, even zipped, in a 1.4mb update, however, a full recovery image file is not needed to change the behavior of things. Root and the ability to boot back into TWRP were lost during my update process. It was easily corrected but it did happen. Others have reported a different experience. That was mine.
A good scientist reports ALL observations and reserves judgement until a complete data set is established.

Please help stuck om bootloop

ok, so this is exactly what I did... I came home and seen I have a update for the camera. so I unroot with an adb toolkit and lock the bootloader. I then proceed to updated the system. all seems fine... then I unlocked bootloader again, and was going to re root. but the device never got past the boot screen. I waited a good 10 minutes. I can still get into fastboot and CWM. but I cant do a restore cause it says cant mount sd card. wtf do I do?! please help. and thanks in advance. edit... I also went back into fastboot and relocked the bootloader... I know its dumb but I was in a panic and had to try... still trying to boot up.

Yes. For 4.4

How did u extract it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2

1. Search on google for how to setup adb and fastboot correctly
2. Download stock rom from google.
3. Make sure you have unlocked bootloader. If your bl is locked type this in cmd: fastboot oem unlock
4. Extract the stock rom from google.
5. Duble click on flash-all.bat

Well im newish to this so excuse how ridiculous this is about to sound. I extracted it to the desktop, and then tried extracting it to the toolkit in an images folder. I know... you probably just face palmed

Delete the files u extracted...not the factory image you downloaded tho...after that make a folder on ur desktop named nexus 5...then extract the image into the nexus 5 folder only. Then pm me when that's done

When I do step 5 it says 'fastboot' is not recognized as an external or internal command.

Type fastboot devices
It should output ur serial number and say bootloader
Ur phone has to be at boot loader to run the flash all.bat

Bootlooped and cannot use TWRecovery

Hello,
My nexus 5 is currently stuck in a bootloop and TWR is asking for a password to decrypt my data and wipe cache/dalvik. Is there anything i can do to get it out of the loop or is my phone dead?
Thanks for reading, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Does your computer recognizing your device? Can you go into bootloader,if yes,try to go back to stock rom,and flash stock recovery.

Restoring Nexus 5 to stock: will it replace TWRP?

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 5 that I'm trying to return to stock. I'd like to keep the bootloader unlocked, however. If I follow the instructions here (minus the bootloader lock part): https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images will I be all good to go with a completely wiped, good-as-new phone? Also, will this overwrite TWRP, which I currently have on the phone?

If you follow the instructions and flash everything, yes it'll go back to stock and replace twrp with stock recovery as well

If you flash the img files individually, you don't have to flash the recovery img if you want to keep twrp tho

Thanks! I think I'll just do that, but I'll keep the bootloader unlocked in case I need to flash more things later.

If you're flashing stock, remember there's a built-in behaviour that checks for stock recovery: if it's not there, it will overwrite whatever is there (twrp, in this case) with stock recovery, on every reboot.
You'll need to take care of this if you want a stock+twrp permanent combo.

After looking at this guide, it says that you need to do a factory reset in the stock recovery after flashing all the images. Is this outdated information?

I don't think so, pretty sure u need to add the font to system in order for it to be seen and without root u can't gain access to system files

This is true, I guess u could also manually add the font using twrp and the included file manager, u would have to set permissions as well but it would work, didn't think about that, but again, that's assuming he's rooted or at the very least has an unlocked bootloader so he can flash the recovery

Well if he currently doesn't have twrp installed he's going to have to flash twrp first, and the only way to do that if he isn't rooted already is by using fastboot or a Toolkit of some kind, its a very simple process just:
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"
And done

I do it all the time on many devices, so was curious why you mentioned it would boot stock recovery. Always boots twrp when I use it, but I have never tried it on M so was wondering if something changed.

Mate, let's clear this up:
EVEN if you don't have TWRP installed, and you do 'fastboot boot <twrp-2.x.x.x.img', the device WILL boot into TWRP, WITHOUT flashing.

Twrp still needs to be on the device in order to boot it, u don't necessarily need to flash it, but if twrp is not on the device, how can it boot twrp? I've never booted it without flashing it, so I may be wrong, but I don't see how u could boot an image that's not there lol

It is booted via fastboot from you computer. I have done this a bunch of times on devices that have never and still don't have twrp. Download a recovery you have never used onto your pc and try.
