Unable to install 5.0 on rooted N5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys ,
I have a rooted nexus 5 running on original stock rom with clockwork recovery installed. I have been getting pop ups to download Andriod 5.0 for last 10 days , Every time I download it , it takes me to recovery and than gives me a message "unable to open the package etc." and cancels the install.
I have tried clearing up the cache , did factory reset , same result everytime.
Any suggestions what can i do ?

You need to be 100% stock (including recovery) to accept the OTA. Restore your phone to full stock and try again.

How do I do that ?
This is wifey's phone , if she looses her data 1 more time than I m dead.

Flash the newest factory image in fastboot, just dont flash the userdata image.

So If I just download 5.0.1 (LRX22C) from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and flash it via Fastboot , It will take phone back to Factory state and root will be lost ?

Ya root will be lost. Just unzip that image fully. Then flash everything but userdata individually. She wont lose her data or setup. Then fastboot flash twrp. Boot into twrp and install supersu. Good to go.

Ya itll be on there. Also you dont need to flash the bootloader either, being that its the same as the 5.0 one.

If its on 4.4 you should do a clean install as its a big upgrade. To save her data, flash the 4.4 recovery, and boot images. That should bring you back to stock so you can just take the ota.
Thatll work as long as you haven't made any further modifications.

Lol. I thought he was already on 5.0. Glad i caught him in time. I know how pissed my wife gets when I mod or flash stuff to her phone and she doesn't like the outcome, or the version is buggy, or she has to re setup her stuff. Glad I can help other avoid that

OK. So download 4.4.4 and unzip and flash only recovery and boot images via fastboot ( boot images would be files ending with .img , i.e. more than 1 file ?

Flash "boot.img" its only one file. Then flash "recovery. img" also one file. So two files total.

[Q] Back to stock recovery B137SP03 without recovery image

Hello all,
I have been going slightly mad today trying to get my mate 7 2GB back from CWM to stock recovery. The main problem is that I do not have a stock recovery image. But after being shown where to find one, I noticed that I could not get it successfully flashed either.
Since I do not really know how to do this, I used flashify, but that did not work and either returned me to the CWM or sent me to rescue.
Can someone help me to a) get a stock recovery image for the Mate 7 version MT7-L09 and b) show me how to properly flash it?
Find stock recovery is easy.. only a question why flashify don't work for you? It work fine for me... your device is rooted?

Hi @dzjero86, my device is rooted and I am on the B137SP03 version atm, using CWM. Don't know why Flashify is not working for flashing a recovery image. It works fine to flash a CWM recovery. Maybe I have the wrong stock recovery... If you can find it, can you send me the link or add it as an attachment here?
Please guys help me to . i have that same problem i have been trying to flash the stock recovery again but i couldn't even with flashify after i flash i takes me to bootloader screen and it shows me a fun_error message

A way to find the stock recovery is : download the whole B137SP03 Rom from the Huawei site , and use a tool called "Firmware unpacker for Huawei" whit this tool you can extract the recovery.img from the Rom and try to flash it using flashify

This should work.
The fast boot just stucks at waiting for device

Ok, I couldnt access your firmware unpacker, but I did manage to use the tool you suggested.
I have a different recovery screen, but is this the right one? It has EMUI large in centre screen and the options reboot system now, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
If this is the correct one, and I am already on the D137SP03 ROM, I should be able to locally update right?
I tried this, and got a lot further this time, but my phone gave an error message during the update. Do I need to flash the original B137SP03 rom again, even though I am already on it?
I think you maybe can flash using adb commands and also you need adb drivers working

That's right... you have stock recovery... sometimes the update fail if the UPDATE.APP is on the internal storage.. try to flash from a micro sd card or re-download the update ....

No luck so far.... I've downloaded the update.zip, put it in my mnt/ext_sdcard/dload folder and start the local update. It begins OK, as the progress bar moves along. But after about 25% it shoots to the end, and then I get an update failed screen with a red exclamation mark.
What could I try to get it to work??

Ok, I just reinstalled the B137P03 version from the how to install lollipop thread, and that went successful. Now going to try the update.zip! Keep you posted
Ah, now we're talking It seems to have worked. Phone is now showing 'Android is upgrading' and 'optimising app.....'
Great! It does seem strange I had to reinstall the B137SP03 rom, but that did the trick!

Sorry man , baseband errors normally result in no mobile network and ability to make phone calls :/. When I flashed marshmallow on my phone , it said not found next to baseband. You may want to fully flash MM then when it gets to bootloader unlocked screen , wait a few minutes. If it does nothing, try flashing twrp recovery and flashing a lollipop custom rom.

Mate , no one noticed that you are trying to flash the ota zip in recovery. you are not meant to do that. Flash it using Fastboot. Go download Motorola device manager to get the right drivers, and get minimal adb and fastboot, when you have done that, come back here !

Try using mfastboot instead of fastboot, go with 6.0 firmware, make sure you flash all sparsechunks included. Baseband should be restored

You cannot flash supersu without the modified boot image.
You need to flash the recovery and modified boot image to successfully flash supersu.

To receive OTA's you need to be on stock recovery, and stock boot image without any modification to the system partition.
Can the stock recovery be downloaded anywhere ? Thanks !

I was able to unlock bootloader, installed twrp and root according to your guide
and
also successfully returned to original stock 6.0 rom, stock recovery according to androidmtk's Lenovo_K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware.
This is a new toy for me now. Many thanks...:laugh:
Can you explain how you went back to stock?

Hi
Device cant update via ota. I dont really know K53_USR_S107_1609131839_Q00380_ROW firmware is last for some region or not. So Im trying to update to stock K53_S123_170216_ROW firmware. After testing and solving ota I will write all steps.
ok, thanks, I suppose it need to be downloaded first somewhere ?

For enter to twrp try this
- unplug cable from phone
- turn off
- turn on and hold together on/off button + vol up
- when you see honor blue logo release on/off button but still hold vol up

How to install stock recovery without losing data?

I am using Peter's recovery and wish to go back to stock recovery as installing ota is tiring. How can I do that without losing data and files?
If you are using official MIUI ROM, dirty flashing full recovery ROM will also overwrite custom recovery with stock recovery.

are you rooted?
if ues then just unroot using magisk unistaller and reboot it will restore stock recovery then use ota to update then again you can flash twrp peter recovery by fastboot and boot in to recovery and then flash magisk it will again have both recovery and root
my device shows encrypted status

Just download the fast boot rom from the official website and flash it by mi flash tool.
And during flashing it select flash all except data.
And you will lose nothing and your recovery will be restored.
Then you can flash ota by that.

Ok... I will try this... wating for new update that i can verify it too.
Thanks
I have one solution
simple
just things needed are:
1. miui stock recovery img
2. vbmeta
next,
1. First flash recovery image.
2. Then flash vbmeta image.
what does vbmeta do. it actually saves the recovery image after flashing new recovery.
3. Finished reboot
