is there a way I can do this? I got the push notification from sprint today to update to jb 4.2.2. I've already downloaded the update (188 mb). Do I just install it over my current setup? Or would I have to remove my root and then re-install it when the 4.2.2 is on?

Yes. Voodoo ota root keeper, see my post over in the general photon q forum,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268413
Also the update is 4.1.2 not 4.2.2 just so your not disappointed or suprised when its done.

Tried the voodoo ota root keeper, but when the phone initially rebooted, it went straight into the twrp recovery and didnt install, after that followed a bootloop. So i went into factory reset the phone and its stable now. So, how would i go about installing the update in this case?

Also now that the phone is stable and i checked for the update, is says that the system is up to date :/. Since i already downloaded it, does anyone no the file path for it for where it might be?

I think it's usually in cache, and if you factory reset then that is wiped.
You should be on stock recovery if you want to flash the OTA directly.
J-Jeezy: Please edit the thread title so it's not misleading - the most current official Motorola firmware release for Photon Q is Android 4.1.2.
Not 4.2.2.
Hey guys this is my first nexus device and I'm loving it so far aside from some small issues I just unlocked my boot loader and rooted and installed twrp. I was wondering am I still going to get updates from Google ? Or will I have to flash it manually and if so can I do a dirty flash or do I have to wipe and lose everything. I'm expecting a update soon because I have notices a few bugs. Thanks

You will still get them, and unlocking has no affect, but they won't install with a 3rd party recovery.
Usually this isn't a problem though as you can grab and extract the image from the official Nexus images site and just flash that to update.
Hi there, I'm trying to get OTAs while still being rooted, obviously that can't be done without the stock recovery, my internet connection is too slow and has a limited download capacity(and it's shared) so I can't download the fastboot images and get the recovery from there, and I wasn't able to find it anywhere else, thanks.
OTA do not require stock recovery.I updated my phone in twrp.Just be sure just uncheck update cm recovery in developer options

Really? I thought OTA zips can't be flashed through a custom recovery, and I'd like to update my phone without the hassle of trying to find a flashable zip file.

You have to remember this phone is primarily done by a company that has no issues with rooting CM. Also I am quite sure finding the update zip will not be that much of a hassle. Also not sure if you know this but OnePlus One has put out a AOSP rom of there own. How man phone companies do you know that tells you how to root and puts out a rom.... :good:
Finding update.zip is difficult.Its stored in cache folder(not visible),which gets deleted once device is updated

Thank you guys, I have decided to use TWRP instead and update manually

finding an update zip is as easy as you found this thread
So I have unlocked my bootloader now. I have not installed any custom recovery and rooted...just yet. I want to be sure that I can still get the OTA and as I have understand I will have to still use the stock recovery and unfreeze app and disable Xposed. The first part is the hard part.
So this is what I want to do: Flash TWRP>Flash root zip>Flash stock Recovery
Anyone know where I can find the stock recovery for 4.4.4 for the Pergerine model?
Another question: Let's say I install TWRP now and then when Lollipop is realesed, could I just flash the stock rom via TWRP?
I mean I will not be able to update OTA but I have to do it manually, would that work?
If it does then I would just stick with a custom recovery instead.
Anyone? I really want to root this phone but I want to make sure that I can revert to stock so I can upgrade to Lollipop.
My advice is to wait some time, I'm sure there will be all sorts of guides for getting the OTA even if rooted and such..

Yeah I probably have to do that.
So I installed the lateat CM12 nightly, wasn't really impressed yet and went to go restore my backup and once it's done restoring, it get stuck at the bootscreen animation. Just keeps going and going abs going. I used the latest cwm touch recovery as CM12 is not compatible with MultiROM. I would just flash the factory img back but my computer decided to it doesn't ever want to recognize adb avid fastboot on Linux.
Anyone know where I can find a flashable zip for the factory 5.0.1 ROM? Any help would be appreciated!
Try googling Nexus 5 factory image...
Here's a flashable 5.0 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...-android-4-4-3-ktu84m-rooted-busybox-t2557523

Now I'm assuming I'd have to unroot it and flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader to get it to update to 5.0.1?
No, it's flashable in your custom recovery. It's 5.0 though

Yeap , ota needs stock recovery. Also , switch to twrp since cwm isn't playing nice with L.

I'm on the stock ROM you linked too, stock recovery, and unrooted but, when I get the update for 5.0.1 and try and install it, I get an error. Do I need to relock my boatloader?

You're on a custom Rom. The ota isn't going to work. And you don't need to relock your bootloader. If you can afford to wipe your data download the 5.0.1 factory image. Extract it and use the flash-all.bat

My computer is Linux, and adb and fastboot for whatever reason unknown to me, won't install. That's why I asked for a zip file of the factory image. Thanks for the help though.

Well, unfortunately, there isn't a 5.0.1 flashable rom available right now. If you can't get fastboot to work on your Linux machine you're kind of sol as you need to be 100% stock to get the ota to work. That means stock recovery in your case. Google recovery zip collection xda. There's a custom recovery flashable stock recovery there.

I'd work on getting adb/fastboot working on your Linux machine. You're going to need it in the long run.

Did some more digging, got it install, and flashed the factory img for 5.0.1 and twrp recovery then superSU through twrp.
Mods please lock the thread thanks.
Get wugfreshes Toolbox. It has access to all factory images. Some people are not fans of "one click solutions" but this has never let me down.
There's a flushable zip on here also. Put it in a search in the app and you should come across it. It IS the full version.
Did you ever find out why the CWM restore led to getting stuck on boot animation??
Just ran into this last night. Tried restoring 2 different CWM backups and both got stuck on boot animation.
I eventually got a new ROM flashed. Going to try TWRP recovery I suppose.
I know I never had this problem with 4.4, this was the first time I have restored a LP ROM..

My guess would be; cwm hasn't been optimized for Lollipop. Cyanogen has just recently started working on 5.0 and they probably haven't touched the recovery too much. But that's just my guess.

Yea figured something like that.
Got TWRP installed, will try to update after my next nandroid restore so that any old CWM users will know..
