Hello
Since you can't modify any system files with a locked bootloader, you will have to unlock your bootloader and remove TWRP. Also, you can receive OTAs even with an unlocked bootloader. For more information, you can ask in the OnePlus One Q&A subforum where users will be more than happy to find a useful solution to your problem.
Good luck,
Quasar.

Dear all,
I am new on Android, the Nexus 5 is my first android device. I freshly come from a 5 years old iPhone 3G.
2 Weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader of my device and rooted it following the tutorials provided by the XDA community without any problem.
Today, I saw that the OTA to upgrade from the Android version 4.4 to the version 4.4.2 was available directly from the device.
Since I did not want this update to be a problem with my rooted device, I downloaded the following apps: BootUnlocker for Nexus Devices and OTA RootKeeper (I do realize using RootKeeper was stupid since anyway the last update was released on July 25, 3 months before KitKat...). But anyway, this is what I did. I used those apps to Lock my Bootloader and unRoot my phone, thinking that this will reduce the chances of potential conflict with the OTA update.
Afterward, I downloaded and tried to instal the OTA directly from the Nexus 5. It ends up that I got stuck on the recovery menu. It was then impossible to get back on android and I did not know what to do.
This is where I did something totally crazy. Usually I spend time reading tutorials and finding information before doing anything that I do not fully understand. But at this stage I simply thought that the update could not properly instal due to the root. So I went on Advanced Wipe, I ticked all the options (data, system, Cash, Dalvik... all of them), and wiped the device.
As a result, my Nexus 5 has currently a Locked Bootloader and no OS installed. This means that I cannot activate the developer menu (no OS) to tick the option USB debugging. Thus, I cannot unlock my bootloader and in consequence I cannot instal the factory image and get back to stock.
Please, If you can give me some advice, explain me how can I unlock the bootloader in these conditions. Let me know... I really don't know what to do now.
PS: sorry my english is not perfect but I do hope you clearly understand my problem.

You've got it all wrong. You do not need USB debugging to unlock bootloader. to unlock bootloader you must use FASTBOOT commands, which means you MUST be in the bootloader itself. USB debugging ONLY works in android.

Dear RootSU,
So this means that I am not stuck at all and that I am simply limited by my current knowledge about android?
If this is the case, then "alleluia"! I will document myself to be able to fix this thing.

Pretty much
You should be able to unlock the bootloader as you did before.
Boot phone to fastboot mode, download fastboot and adb kit to you computer... it can be found here on forums easy, and in comand line to unlock bootloader you need type "fastboot oem unlock".
More complete guide you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507905 =)

It's ok now!
As you said, I could unlock the Bootloader the same way I did before. Then I install the factory image 4.4.2, which I rooted directly.
Thanks a lot RootSu, you've shown me my mistakes and put me on the way to fix my problem.
Thanks also for your concern Biggreen. =)
Problem solved!

Dear RootSU,
One more question, could you explain me why I got stuck into the recovery menu when I first tried to update via the OTA? Will I get the same kind of problem when I'll update with the v4.4.3 in the future?
Thanks

I am not sure on the extact reason. OTA itself will not install with a custom recovery. You have to download the OTA and boot to recovery then manually flash.
There is a good "OTA Helpdesk" sticky thread in general you should read as theres lots of advice there
hi there...i've got the same problem... i wiped everythink and now i'm not able to switch on my phone....i just want to get out of this somehow...i'm very much new to this and i just want to get my stock android back that's it...somebody please help....
Do you see the battery icon when you connect the phone to a charger? Does the LED turn red when you connect the phone to a charger? Maybe leave the phone connected for a couple of hours and then try to power on?
Greetings fellow , several weeks ago I decided to unlock the bootloader to test different ROM , I tried many and I stay with cyanogenmod . Given that came to my C2104 official update from sony to 15.3.a.1.17 , I decided to lock my bootloader . I tried a few hours the new official firmware and I was so disappointed by his failures I decided to return to the CyanogenMod ROM . I went to unlock my bootloader but since every ROM I try very unstable , contacts are lost , almost all applications I open lock and close, I have signal problems wifi and 3G (perform all wipes needed for each installation used ) . because I 'm desperate .. block before returning to my bootloader any ROM that proved it worked perfect, but now after the new block and subsequent release any ROM is stable. To top it all went back to the stock ROM 15.3.a.1.14 that has been the stock that has worked best for me and I will ... Did fatal ruin my xperia for having repeatedly locked and unlocked bootloader ? sorry my English

i dont get the question u r asking..hehe but i think u r asking if relocking and unlocking bootloader will damage or ruin the phone, am i right? we'll to solve ur problem there are instances that it will brick ur phone and there are instance also that it will succesfully loack, i think it will be differ on the build of the board..just an advice, if u wanted to try other ROMs better not to relock ur bootloader so it wont mess up ur phone..stay unlock

Thanks for replying. I know the risks of opening the bootloader. In short I mean, excluding damage, the phone may become unstable by opening and closing the bootloader
just got the phone, upgraded from a moto G
Updated it to 5.01
Now my question is, what are the necessities i need to do with the phone now, e.g. unlocked bootloader and then rooting..etc?
Or should i wait for 5.1 to touch anything
Lmk, i've been out of the rooting scene for a while now.

You can do what ever you want to do my friend It is very easy to root and unlock the N5 and when 5.1 comes and you want to try it out, you can always flash the factory image.

First thing I'd do is unlock the bootloader. That wipes your device and might as well as get that out of the way before you load a bunch of stuff on it.

thanks guys ...unlocked bootloader and did chainfire auto root...
hi guy i already unlock bootloader previously and installed many rom but later i fastboot flashed MM6.0.1 stock and locked the bootloader and it show status :2 , now i want to unlock the bootloader again and want to install twrp and roor the device on stock mm 6.0.1 pls help
The process to unlock again is identical as the first time, if you still have the code you can still use the same one or go through Moto's website to get it again.
Note that some users have stated that if they unlock, then re-lock, unlocking again doesn't work (it worked fine for me though)... And I think one user had an issue where it bricked trying to unlock again but I could be foggy on that one.

ON ANDROID 7 YOU CANNOT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AS IN THAT GUIDE, IT'S WRITTEN in THREAD, JUST READ IT.
however you have to unlock it in official way. after receive sms wait, wait and wait. I waited 1 month, ONE MONTH, to unlock it. I've unlocked it first with unofficial but ANDROID 7 of xiaomi.eu lock it again, again and again.

I saw directly difference between Resurrection Remix N, multitask, .... This is flagrant.
I downloaded all possible official ROMs, tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to each of them (even the very last dev) and I'm stuck with 8.5.1.0 from xiaomi.eu. This ROM sux alot of power. I wanna jump to another ROM but can't as the upgrade killed my root and TWRP and locked the bootloader. I'm opened to suggestions to avoid asking that SMS unlocker (even if it implies to slide thru 3 ROMs).
