So, I was wondering,
If I flash a factory image on my Nexus 5, will I still be able to get future OTAs ? or I'll have to flash every update manually ??
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I rooted my Nexus few months back from now with Fastboot recovery. I got my Android ICS update 4.0.4 last week, I tried downloading it, I downloaded it, then it said rebooting for install. But my Nexus S freezes at Google logo with my unlocked lock sign. I have tried installing it many times, but all in vein.
Please somebody help!

If you're rooted, why dont you just use the rooted method to install the update. Someone made the update flashable. Its in the development section.
either way, pull the battery to see if you still have your recovery(volume up and power button)... if so, then restore to your latest restored point, hoping that you did make a backup
Then download the newest ICS update and just flash it the rooted way.
But if you insist on the official, unroot and then get the update via stock recovery method
good luck
Are you using the latest version of CWM?
If you've got a modified system image (including root), you should not use official upgrade packages. If you want to update the rooted system, you can use unofficial packages (in CWM). To boot a system, please start your recovery and flash a proper (4.0.4, unrooted or rooted, signed or unsigned) system image. If you erase the data partition all of your data is lost!
If you have stock recovery, then only signed images can be flashed. To be able to flash unsigned images you'll need CWM, which can be flashed through fastboot.
By the way official firmware can be downloaded from Google. Important! All of your data (including USB storage area) will be lost after the full upgrade with fastboot!
I did the last few updates by flashing new image but is there a way to do this without factory reset?

Hi guys,
I have a rooted xt925, and I'm having some problems to take the update. I've read that rooted phones can't update OTA, so I have removed the root, but I still can't update the phone. I've tried to do it via motorola device manager too, but it says that there's no updates to my phone. I've already searched how to solve this, but I'm very noob
Any suggestions?
Thanks
easiest way is to do a factory reset, keep in mind that will erase all your data then try update . You can also flash the OTA but that involves few more steps. Check

Because you rooted, that modified the system partition. Removing root might work, but your best bet is to flash an SBF if one exists for the XT925. I don't have an XT925 (I have an XT926), so I have no idea if SBFs exist for XT925.
And before you ask, no. You cannot use and XT926 SBF to flash back to stock.
Oh, I did factory reset two or three times, and ota update continues to fail.
I will try to search more about SBF. And it's possible to flash a kitkat rom without have a kitkat bootloader?
For xt925,you flash European cee 4.1.2 jb, then take the update or flash it itself.

People i know haven't even unlocked their bootloader
But can't update?
me too, have the same problem.
I'll just flash the 4.4.4 EU image for my XT1032...
and I'll do the same thing for when lollipop comes around
Its look like you must reset factory then direct updating your firmware..
have you unroot and relocked your bootloader?
Try restoring to stock: Flash 4.4.3, go to stock recovery and try to make the update search, if this is not working do a clean flash (wipe cache+userdata) and try to update, some time ago i noticed that cannot update the firmware of my 4.4.2 because the cmw recovery, then wiped cache and intalled stock recovery and everything went fine
To receive OTA updates device should be only on stock recovery no cmw, no twrp. Try to install stock recovery with fresh stock rom, and remember to enable any disabled system apps (if any) like Motorola services, Motorola OTA, then only you will able to receive and install updates....
You need the stock recovery
I just got my OTA Stagefright update from LMY48B to LMY48I on my N5 hammmerhead. I need some advice from anyone who’s in the know on the best way for me to update.
I’m current on stock L5.1.1 LMY48B rooted, unlocked bootloader with TWRP custom recovery and just one small mod (center clock) and that’s it, all else is stock. I try to update the OTA but it would boot into TWRP and stops. I also try to re-flash the stock recovery but when I try to update OTA it to would also boot into stock recovery with the android guy laying sideways and red question mark and stops. I saw this post and not sure if this will work in my case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/stagefright-update-lmy48b-lmy48i-t3177268/page2
Do I need to flash the update with ADB or do I need to flash the factory image? any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like we are having the same issue except i didn't have any mod, and i have CWM instead of TWRP
The OTA update indeed stops pretty soon, for me it then moves to an "error" screen.
When i try to log into the stock recovery i flashed (by opening the bootloader mode and choosing recovery mode) i get a "No command" screen.
Ota won't work unless you're bone stock. Flash the factory images.
