Is there a pure stock 5.0.1 zip for the Nexus 5? Basically a zip version of the OTA update. I'm rooted with a custom recovery so I can't do the OTA. I was looking around but couldn't find it.

You're not going to find an ota zip that works in a custom recovery. Flash the stock recovery then sideload the ota zip in it. You'll have to re-root and reinstall the custom recovery.

You will never be able to flash an OTA again if you modified your device in any way. One of the biggest changes for Lollipop that no one noticed.

Interesting. I normally just flash factory images or a custom ROM.

You will still be able to flash the factory image when it becomes available.

I'm running a faux kernel, I'm rooted and have TWRP recovery.
I was on 4.4 and got the notice about 4.4.2 and I accepted. I then got distracted with something and when I came back, my phone was in TWRP recovery. I reset back to system but I see I'm still on 4.4.
So did it fail because I have a custom recovery? or a custom kernel? or root? or something else?
And basically, do I have to go back to full stock to be able to do OTA updates? Or is one of the 3 above I listed messing it up?
Never did OTA updates before so I'm new to this.
Thanks!

Since you have a custom kernel you should fastboot flash the system and boot images from 4.4 before the ota. Of you don't it won't work.

So it is the custom kernel that broke it?
Once I fix that, how do I get the OTA again? Right now I'm on 4.4 and when I check, it says I have the latest
depends... for the recent updates yes, there are patches for certain things so they need those files to be as stock to be able to patch them without issues. if n update comes in the future with a full set of images, then it may not require stock files.

Hi,
I have been trying to update my phone to 4.4.3 but not very successful so far. I'm using custom Android HD ROM 7.0 by Mike. I tried flashing stock recovery then applying the OTA update that I found in this thread. However, my phone stays 4.4.2 after flashed. I am using T-mobile on a Verizon phone and don't get any OTA notification either, so I was trying to flash it manually. Help!

The OTA will only succeed if your phone has pure stock. The OTA is not a full ROM but a patch system that builds upon previous content already on the phone. If you want to take the OTA, you must flash full stock first.
Hi just got this phone and need to update to 4.4.4 for roms to work it seems. Best way to flash the update? Is there a flashable one with TWRP or CMW?

I have an s-on ruu posted for 4.4.4 that doesnt wipe data. It's in exe form so it's very easy to run. After that flash your twrp and make a stock backup. Then flash away....
If we have s-off and are unlocked will it do any harm to just accept the ota from Verizon?

No harm at all provided you are on stock recovery and haven't modified system in any way.
Anyone can suggest what upgrade I should choose and which one is more stable? I want to root my phone as well so if anyone with the official Marshmallow update can give me a good reason to upgrade from 5.0.2 I'd really appreciate it.
Besides sense 7 is there anything else to look forward to in Marshmallow for HTC?
Also anyone with the Marshmallow GPE Rom or Viper M8 please share your experiences with the roms.
For the first time I'm having trouble deciding what to flash on my E8 thanks to all the devs!
I tried everything, and - offical 6.0.1 is better choise. There is best camera. They really updated drivers or libs, i don't know. Stock ROM + custom kernel it's always good. All custom ROM's here is based on older firmwares.

How did you Root and get the custom kernel (without the system write protection) on Marshmallow? Same as how you'd do it on 5.0.x?
Yes, my 6.0.1 rooted, but custom kernel not exist this time. We waiting.

Would you please explain how to root your E8 6.0.1? I prefer to get just root without installing custom recovery, so I can backup stock recovery using flashify just in case for future OTA.
i dont know about way like this. In future u can extract stock recovery from OTA package, that u gonna receive. This always works.
I've flashed supersu 2.67 via recovery.

I received OTA and installed it directly. I forgot to backup the OTA file first so I don't have a chance anymore to extract the stock recovery. I tried to downgrade to 5.02 but always failed.

Downgrading is easy. You need to flash TWRP recovery via fastboot. Do not need full root. ERASE everying. The flash lollipop RUU via external SD.

I have M8SW and it is S-ON, it currently running BinDroid ONE V1.3.0 Android 4.4.4. I'm thinking about trying marshmallow ROM but I've read that is hard to downgrade to Kitkat once the firmware has been upgraded to higher version. But you said above it is easy to downgrade, can you please provide me with the steps to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat rom. Thanks
Hi
Stock ROM not rooted.
My Nexus 5 is telling me it has an OTA update available.
When I click on it it downloads and then reboots the phone to TWRP at which point nothing happens, I'm in TWRP.
Is there any way to make TWRP support the OTA update or do I need to flash stock recovery ?
Thanks

I wounder the same thing! I've a custom kernel also!
No, if you are not completely stock you cannot get OTA updates. Download them from google, the links are in general forum. Download the full stock rom and flash just what is needed in fastboot.
