[Q] Troubleshooting while updating to 4.4.4

Hi all,
Since a few days I'm trying to update my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.4 but everything I've tryed has failed !
Today I'm running stock ROM 4.4.2 + root + TWRP recovery + Xposed
What I've tryed :
_ OTA : device reboot on recovery and does nothing
_ Flash stock using the latest Nexus Rom Toolkit from Wug Refresh : device reboot on bootloader and get stuck on a "downloading..." message while PC get stuck on "downloading bootloader"
_ Flash zip from TWRP : tryed several zip, all of them has failed
I don't know what to do next, so now I'm asking your help...
Also I hope this post is in the right section !

Download vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom from the development section and dirty flash it from custom recovery. This should do the job.

You can find the mentioned rooted stock in my signature, section 6.6

Before trying this custom ROM could you explain me the difference with the stock ROM and why I cannot flash the stock one ?
Is it because I have Xposed or something ?
And also after flashing the custom by vomer, can I try to flash again the stock one ?

The One which we are telling you to flash is the stock rom. Yes, it's because you have Xposed and other modules installed.. God knows what changes it has made to system.
There's no need to flash the factory images again as vomer's thread contains the stock itself.

All of your questions have already been answered, except the Vomer ROM one. While technically a custom ROM, it is only stock ROM with root. So going back to pure stock would be pointless.

That means its modified. You can only accept OTA if your /system is unchanged
Although OTA is pointless if rooted anyway
Just download the full rooted stock ROM in android development and flash it without wipe from recovery.
It's actually fewer steps anyway.
OTA = revert system changes and/or kernel, reboot into recovery, flash the OTA , boot to bootloader, connect to pc, fastboot flash recovery, reboot into recovery, flash supersu.
Rooted stock = reboot into recovery, flash the ROM.
No brainer really. Flashing an OTA if rooted is a fool's errand.

[Q] Flash official factory image with TWRP

Hi guys & gals!
Quickly: I want to flash the official 5.1 image with TWRP. The reason is that my USB port doesn't work anymore (I'm charging with QI) so I'm not able to adb / fastboot.
Is it possible and if so how do I do it? I tried to "unzip" the tgz > tar until I had a zip with the official image available on google's page but TWRP kept telling something along "this image is not valid".
FYI I'm currently on cyanogenmod 12.
Thanks in advance!

You can't flash the factory image in twrp. There should be a flashable zip of stock 5.1 floating around here that you can flash in twrp though.

You can only flash boot and recovery img's in twrp. Just download a stock flashable zip

Your on a locked bootloader. You can't flash a custom recovery, the only option you have is safestrap. You also cannot flash custom roms
