Sideloading 4.4.1 on nexus 5

Ok, so i've been trying to sideload 4.4.1 on my nexus 5, i am able to verify they adb can see my device and that i can send the file to it as well.
The problem that I'm coming across is that when the installation process start it then then says:
'e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
installation failed'
if anyone know a fix to this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason it is still aborting the installation.
Any ideas why?

Idk, I flashed through a custom recovery. You could get a custom recovery image then fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. Where recovery.img is the custom recovery image

are you stock? could be any of the system or configuration files are failing.

just tried that link and no look, still getting the same error.
and yes it is stock.

It should give you an error as to why it's aborting. Post that and we can help.

I could not get my win8.1 pc to see the device in stock recovery (driver issue that I did not feel like dealing with), but it would see it in fastboot. Flashed factory image, TWRP and then the update.

im not really wanting to root my device though.
when i try it again this is what i get not sure if you can tell what the error is.
'now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "dab side load <filename>...
finding update package...
opening update package...

E: footer is wrong

Anyone got any thoughts?

No thoughts I'm afraid but I'm getting this error too.
Could it be to do with having usb drivers for multiple devices installed on my PC?

hmm.., i don't think it will be drivers as I'm doing this through mac

I think you should be getting the 4.2.2 update OTA soon, or you should have it already. I side loaded mine on a Mac too, but it worked flawlessly.
Do you have android debugging turned on?
Plug it into your computer and a message should come up on your phone, asking it to remember the key or something. Click allow. I don't know if that will make a difference but its worth a try

Lenovo A850 OTA Firmware s126 22 02 2014
I just got the Lenovo A850. The first thing it wanted to do is download the OTA Firmware update. It failed!
Nick 2014 did the phone just keep asking if you want to update to the latest firmware every once and a while without doing anything? Do you know where the update is downloaded to?
Coolosal, did you have to do anything special for it to work OTA?
Is there a way to force the update because an update available does not show up in "about device".
Thanks

@mateo,
after a month the phone ask me if i want to upgrade the firmware with title "A850_ROW_S116_130922_TO_A850_ROW_S127_140303". The download of new version complete successful and i was select update now. The phone restart in bios mode and trying to update from sdcard, unsuccess to the end.
You can find the archive "update.zip" after you download it and don't do the update, in: file browser/build-in storage/googleota.
Remember! If you select to do the upgrade and phone change in bios mode and failed, the archive dissappeared.
I read somewhere "..i uninstall the calendar from phone and i can't complete the upgrade, then i reflash the phone and the upgrade works correctly"
I uninstall the calendar too because it have only chinese, i reflash the phone but nothing..
If someone else doing any different and have success please tell us the way.

This is the version who came to me.

Just updated the thread here with the link. I didn't want to start a whole new thread or have it get lost in another thread.

I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.
I received OTA update notification last night.
Will I loose root if I allow it to install?
If so, how can I ignore it and disable the notification?

If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.

So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right

I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.

Cool thanks!

OTA 5.1 Update Fails on my Unrooted Nexus 5

Hi,
I rooted my Nexus 5, following the steps by WugFresh, using the Nexus Root Toolkit.
I later unrooted and a while afterwards, the 5.1 OTA was released. When I downloaded the OTA and tried to update, it failed with the "/system/bin/install-recovery.sh has unexpected contents. Status 7" error
Please guide me on fiding help to fix this.
Thank you

generally speaking "status 7" can mean incompatibility but your problem is you can't update OTA with a custom recovery. you need to install stock EVERYTHING in addition to remove root like you said you did, in order to install OTA.
Also 5.1 has is a bit buggy but your decision and hit thanks i this helped.

Thanks for the help. Can you give a guide on installing stock. I used the NRT to flash stock and unroot and assumed it was done. I'm not sure what's amiss at this point.

I'm using 5.1 on my N5 since the early days Google offically published it, and so far I don't have any bugs or problems.
It runs smooth and stable, even after installing a custom kernel and a custom recovery (and root too, ofc)
@OP:
Google is hosting all its current (and even older) images for nexus devices on their developer homepage.
Assuming you know the device name (and I hope you do so, because we're on XDA ) you can download the image you want.
In case you don't know your device name - it's hammerhead !
You can also find a instruction on the site in case you do not know how to install all the stock-stuff.
NOTICE:
In case you do so, make sure that you've a backup which is NOT stored on your phone (because the partitions get wiped during the installation, I tried to do a workaround but I wasn't able to get it fully working without any bugs), else you'll loose all your (un)necessary apps, files, documents, photos, music, whatsapp messages and so on...
Things you can do after you restored everything to the stock
If you've succesfully installed the stock ROM (which comes also with the stock kernel) and settet up your phone again (language settings, network configurations, and all those google stuff at the beginning) wait before restoring your backup (in case you brick your phone again during the process which you are going to do, this would just be wasted time!) .
Now you can start modding your N5's system again, e.g with a custom Recovery, root or another kernel, it's your choice what you want to be able to do with your phone.
Hope i could help you and give you a small example! (and in case you brick your phone again during one of your modification steps just read this post again to restore a full stock N5)
Cya!

HI Android-xp,
Thanks a lot. I will go with the flashing instructions on the Google page you provided.
On that page, there are two variants of 5.1.0 (LMY47D and LMY47I) for hammerhead. Can you provide any tip for determining which is right for my device?

Both are. LMY47I is the latest.

Hi,
I followed the flashing instructions. When I got to the point where I am to run flash-all in the extracted image directory, I get the below errors:

Any idea how to sort this out? Please

Hi,
I was able to manually flash the images using fastboot. Apparently, the flash-all script doesn't work.

It's pretty simple actually
Turn phone off
Hold power button + volume up
You're now in fastboot
Downloaded the needed files from this thread. Flash from fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2826541
Search on Google for latest fastboot zip and use that to do the guide.
You will have to unlock your bootloader. There are videos on YouTube that show how to do this so search and you'll find all the answers.

All files needed to restore your device should go to its installation folder.
Your bootloader is already unlocked, isn't it?
