Hello,
The rooting process was very simple and smooth, I rooted the device because I wanted to try different fonts, everything was succesfful, no issues. Since I don't have much knowledge about "Your phone's life after rooting", I would like to ask you . .
Sagar Khanapurkar
I'll be getting the notification of "Android L is avalible, tap to download and install". . . will everything go fine If I just tap and update my Nexus 5 to Android L via OTA, Do I need to unroot the device first and then upgrade it to Android L ?
Nothing should go wrong if I update it officialy via OTA, right ?
I don't care if my root access goes after updating, so it's ok for me.
Thank you

This is all covered in sticky threads. Read OTA Help-Desk which you can get to via my signature.
However I would recommend learning more about being rooted and not taking OTA's at all, as that's super-noob

I did read those stickies, I gained more knowledge though. Thank you
Well sir, I don't mind being called super noob. I just want to update it to Android L without unrooting my Nexus 5. Is that possible ?

Flash a pre-rooted zip of Android L when it comes out via recovery
Thank you, but what will happen if I update it via OTA ? My bootloader is locked though. Just the phone is rooted. Stock rom and kernel are still present !!

If you've changed any of the system files the OTA will fail. You can have root and apply an OTA as that's not checked when doing the update but anything will have to be reverted to stock before the OTA will apply successfully

Alright, fortunately it has an option of factory reset font. I'll switch back to factory font and then I'll perform OTA, that shouldn't fail OTA. Right ??

Assuming everything else is untouched, yes it should work...
If you're going to live in the rooted world, you should learn to do things properly. OTA is the worst way of managing a rooted phone, which is why I said OTA is super-noob. If someone is reliant on OTA updates, they probably should not be rooted in the first place.

You just need to learn before jumping in. Root should not be taken lightly. If you're not willing to learn, don't root. If you are - then do. The problem is if you root then dont do things properly, you cause more work for eveyone here who has to try and help you when things go wrong, so either:
1) Learn
2) Unroot
3) Don't expect help
I recommend 1.

i re-insalled de-branded stock rom now the update has gone strange
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?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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!

Before the installation of the ota of android 5.0 I have to unistall xposed because it doesn't work with ART, right?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
You'll have to uninstall xposed for any ota anyway regardless of lollipop
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
And flash stock recovery. And hopefully nothing else was altered in the system that could affect the Ota.
Personally, I'd backup my apps and just flash stock 4.4.4. As soon as I hear the Ota is out that is.
Tho really, I always wait a couple days and flash it with fastboot, clean. ?
Ok, so I have to unistall Xposed...
I rooted the device with Towelroot, so there isn't particular problems with the system? Or towelroot makes something different to system files unlike root?

Although why OTA anyway? If you're rooted with a custom recovery, you can just flash a pre-rooted L zip which will be available before the OTA Anyway

Haha exactly.
I have not my PC since last month, and probably I will have it in the first half of December, however I have not a custom recovery, only root with towelroot because, like I said, I have no PC

So use flashify to install twrp recovery and then you will have a way to flash. Doing any phone/tablet modding is highly dangerous if you don't have a computer available to you in case something messes up...
#stayparanoid
I just grab the files from google and flash my phone clean with fastboot. I'll Add the recovery and root a few days later (if available). I like my phone the way it is and don't like to change just for OTA.
Ok, I'll probably use flashify, thanks everybody

Am I correct in assuming that xposed does not work under lollipop because of art?
Can lollipop work using dalvik?
Correct. And no.

That's a problem for me and might make me not accept the upgrade. I really like xposed and xgravity and my nexus 5 is fast enough.
I'm sure it won't be long til xposed will be updated.

I hope you're right but it may not be an easy task because of the different ways dalvik and art handle things.
Then we'll need to rely on custom roms for customizing.. Until xposed does work.

Kind of like we have done for the last X years? Before xposed ever existed?

I thought the Lollipop update for Android L was being rolled out. I'm on stock 4.4.4 and rooted. I also have xposed framework and Gravitybox mods added. Could this be why I am not getting the OTA update?

No, it rolls out in stages. But once you get it it won't work with xposed installed. Also, you have to be on the stock recovery if you're not already.

I actually just received the ota today and didn't change anything at all. What happens if I attempt to download the update even though I'm not on stock recovery?
It will fail and be a waste of time.
I want to keep my Nexus S on Stock GingerBread but the problem is that it receives the OTA of ICS whenever i connect to any network. I want to know how to stop that OTA update.

Hmmm. So what can you do
i. If the update comes, you select the later option, or
ii. Root your phone or unlock your bootloader. This will void your Guarantee and support from Google.
Till the bootloader is unlocked and root access is given

First of all thanks for your reply.
I added SuperSu to the rom using Android Kitchen still it recives the OTA and the Bootloader is unlocked too. The worst thing is that it doesnt give any option like Later while updating to ICS from GB OTA
