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.

You need to be on stock. Flash that in fastboot. Don't know if you can do that in nrt

So there's absolutely no other way of doing this besides removing my custom recovery?

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

Just going to jump in here...
my nexus is just rooted and unlocked... but is on stock
But still no luck...

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!

1.Boot to safe mode and make a run for sometime that will gives an idea whether any apps causing this !
2.If again the same issue then flash the factory 4.4.4 image and make a run !
Flash the 4.4.3 factory image. But back up everything on your phone first because it will wipe the device

I would start by just flashing the system.img and cache.img from 4.4.4. That will not wipe your device

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 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.

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 ..
