Error when installing update via ADB and OTA on Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
Firstly, I've tried installing the 5.0 update on my nexus 5. I tried via ADB so downloading it and then putting it onto my phone by putting my phone into recovery mode, and then applying update from ADB, however on the phone it came up with an error which was:
"/System/fonts/ROboto-BoldItallic.ttf" has unexpected contents.
E: Error in /tmp/update.zip (Status 7)
Installation aborted. " - I have tried deleting this file but just can't seem to be able to due to it being a read only??
I then waited until the official update was pushed to my phone, which was about 30 minutes ago, however that then gave me just an "error" after downloading, then restarting and trying to install.
I'm on stock firmware but I am rooted -Any help or advice in the right direction will really be helpful, and greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Need to be fully stock or you'll fail. Should be a link in my signature about update options...or at least how to get lollipop and root.

Error upgrading to Gingerbread!

Hey guys,
Every time I try to install the "Monster_2.3.2_4.5.153_updater_Rooted.zip" ROM from Droid Life the install aborts with an error message and I have nothing left to do but to remove the battery and reinsert it. When I do that however, I get to the boot loader with an error message and I have to revert to the stock SBF and re-root my phone, re-bootstrap recovery, boot in recovery, and try again - I'm feeling lucky. I have done this about seven or eight times, nine as we speak, and so far with absolutely no success. I would really like to know if I am doing something wrong here, I have installed other ROMs with success such as Fission and Liberty.
The last few lines of error message in the installer were as follows:
...
Unmounting Systen ...
updatinig radio image ...
assert failed: motorola.update_cdma_bp("/tmp/rdl.bin", "/tmp/bp.img")
E:Error in /sdcard/Monster_2.3.2_Rooted.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
---
The Device being used is a Droid 2 Global with the stock SBF running.
And that is all that I get, this problem has repeated itself many times and I have tried installing the above ROM while having another version and ROM installed both with no success. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to apply that monster.zip file from the Bootstrap Recovery app & choose the option to choose the zipfile?
Do you have it in the root of the /sdcard directory?

[Q] HTC Evo 3D bricked

Hi everyone, so i bricked my phone after rooting it and trying new ROM. Unfortunately i'm a noob and didnt make a backup before.. So now the phone is on loop mode and basically i've tried almost every guide that is out there to unbrick it, still no luck
It gives me installation aborted error message and even if the installation of new rom succeeds, it still keeps on looping :S
Is there a way unbricking it or should i use it as a hammer from now on..
Any help is appreciated, tnx!
EDIT: Maybe it helps to answer, if i write what i've done so far and describe the problem.
It's on the loop mode, which means it doesnt go further than the screen with green htc text. I can bootload and hit recovery with pressing power and down button on same time. Before Fastboot, recovery, factory sheet, simlock and image crc it tells sd checking and "no image". PB31IMG.zip is also on the sdcard and have tried to install that, still abort message..
I've tried with update.zip file, it gives me following error and the end:
file_getprop: failed to stat ''/system/build.prop'' no such file or directory
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted.
Wiped cache, data and etc
Disabled signature verification
Tried with RUU, turned off unnessecary programs, disabled firewall and antivirus.
It gives error [170]:usb connection error.
Yes usb is connected to the pc and phone.
Phone has Revolutionary cwm
HBOOT-1.49.1187

What else should i try ? I certanly can't think of anything
Fixed it myself after a 2 day marathon..
1. Put PG86IMG.zip and Virtuous_shooter-v.1.0.1 file on the sdcard..
2. Rebooted to recovery, PG86IMG image started the update.
3. Deleted the zip file from card and rebooted again.
4. Installed Virtuous_Shooter zip file and it started to update system and booted itself
Thats it!
Worked for me
PG86IMG should work almost every time.

OTA Update fails.

After a couple of tries to apply the 4.1.2 update, I decided to leave it alone, and root my device using CWM.
Problem is, once I succesfully used fastboot and restarted in CWM mode, the update which was previously stored is coming up, and now it gives this failure message:
E: signature verification failed
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "
E: Error in /cache/Blur_Version.98.1.18002.XT925.Vodafone.en.FR.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Now, my phone keeps restarting! and it tries to update to no avail. What can I do to stop this? Or even better, to make it work.

To my understanding, ClockWorkMod.
I still need to find how to apply the update. I found a zip file, apparently it's the update that someone pulled off of their phone, but it gives me the same fail message
