[Q] OTA update 5.1 unsuccessful - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I am using rooted nexus 5 with TWRP recovery.
Today I've got 5.1 OTA update notification and then downloaded
It and clicked to install. it rebooted but gone to recovery mode
and nothing happened. I rebooted into system and it still 5.0.1 and says
Your system is up to date. Don't know what happened. Is it because my
phone is rooted and for custom recovery or anything else.
And how do I install 5.1 right now? Please help me as I am not
a very expert android user.
And another thing I want to know is which is the best custom rom for nexus 5.
Thanks

Yes, it's because you're rooted/twrp. See OTA helpdesk thread - it's a sticky on General forum.

Okay..its moved to the proper forum...now I just want to know the solution....how can I update

Hi folks
I am using ressurection remix v5.4 android 5.1 based custom ROM on my N5 for a couple of days and facing some bugs which are
1. When I change app drawer animation sometimes app icons don't show on the whole page.
2. When screen rotate sometimes notification keys don't appears.
3. Facebook messenger doesn't popup. I can't use when I am using another app.
4. Most of the time when I restart the phone, 'android is optimizing the apps xx of xx' appears.
And some other bugs those I can't remember right now.
So I decided to change the ROM but confused which one to choose.
My need is a stable custom ROM with some beneficial changes and most importantly with no bugs.
I really need your help folks.
Thanks

[Q] OTA Update on rooted GT-I9105P

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I've rooted my new S2+ and after Alex posted the new 4.2.2 I've flashed my device with RDS_GT-I9105P-XEO-I9105PXXAMC2 (topic here GT-I9105/I9105P Stock Prerooted Firmware Without loss of warranty(4.2.2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103).
So far it is working perfect! This week I've received a notification, that there is a new update available OTA for my device, so I've decided to download and install it. I've downloaded it, the phone restarts and starts to install the "new update", but at 25% shows an error (the Android guy wearing the red triangle etc. and reboots automatically).
After the restart the OS boots normally and is working OK as previous.
My question is: Since my phone has a prerooted stock FW (4.2.2) and is rooted at the same time running CWM, why I can't install the latest updates OTA?
If CW is causing this, why am I able to get the OTA update notification?
Thanks for the replies.

I understand that the FW is modded, as the previous one (4.1.2), which I've downloaded from here and installed on my G2+. But with 4.1.2 at that time I wasn't able to check for any updates for my OS. Every time I've checked manually for updates, the OS gave me error message, that this is not possible. And now with 4.2.2 I am not only able to check if my FW is the latest, but also to download and install 1/4 of the updates. I am trying to find the algorithm here.

It is not possible to check for updates because the Firmware is modded and not original anymore that's why!!!
Hi "safariking",
In the current situation we have two identically modded FWs, but a different outcome.
It's very nice of you to take the time to answer my question so fully That's why I'd like to thank you for the effort. Herewith I am closing the topic.
Cheers.

chill down everyone safari bro,this guy trying to say he got updated with mod fw,just when reach certain percent,the downloaded file seems corrupted. Now i understand mod fw can't even received the ota file,but how this process is allowed, and what happened with the ota file he downloaded?
either way,it's pointless,1st the phone fail to update completely(stuck at 25%), 2nd i don't think this problem can be solved.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. You are reading my mind. The issue is really interesting & I think it is worth discussing this.
Safari is right, when he says that FW upgrade OTA for customized ROM is not possible. This is of course true and no one has ever doubted it. This is why when I had the 4.1.2 installed on my G2+ no update was even possible. Droid detects immediately, that the OS has been modified and that you are not running stock ROM.
Okay, so far so good.
Now I have pre-rooted 4.2.2 installed on my phone. When I hit the "Check for update button" it detects that my OS is genuine (although it is not), downloads the whole update package (see screenshot), restarts the phone (part of the update process) and starts installing the update. When the installation reaches 25%, an error message appears saying, that an error has occurred. The phone restarts and loads the "old" OS.
I have tested this a several times and it always hangs on 25%.
The question is NOT why I CAN'T install OTA updates on modified ROM. The question is why I CAN download and install OTA updates on modified ROM.
My suggestion is that:
ROM 1 (4.1.2) had a modified kernel. That's why the OTA updates were not possible.
ROM 2 (4.2.2) is pre-rooted. And I assume it is just stock FW (kernel not modified) with few modifications in the user permissions. This would explain the OTA update and why it reaches download mode and hangs on 25% of the installation.
I hope this brings more clarification to the situation and this would be useful to all members of the forum.
Cheers!:highfive:
I have randomly come across and read posts and topics on this in the other devices' forum.
If I remember correctly, it is the custom recovery, i.e Cwm or twrp that blocks or interrupts the OTA process. 2 reasons why: you'll lose root access if the update went through. Secondly, if a user freezes or uninstalls stock apps like S Voice, Chat On etc, there will be trouble.
There are some ways of allowing an OTA to get pass a custom recovery. I think TWRP has this feature. Again, I stand corrected here lol.
Heard of OTA Root Keeper but no idea how it works

I was having issues flashing the 38R OTA binary, but this stock ROM solution circumvented that :good:.
Used TWRP custom recovery, root maintained, no issues.
Thanks @Calkulin et al
So I flashed Calkulin's awesome stock ROM I see that here in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
There is version 2.13 update for superSU. If I just flash the zip from there would the rom still be OTA safe? Is this essentially what Calkulin did with version 2.02 superSU in the first place? Thanks in advance.
Is this ROM OTA Safe?? I mean can i update via OTA if i flashed this ROM????

not able to update to 38R on rooted 33R
i have rooted my Oneplus One 33R version.
can anyone help me to update to 38R without loosing my apps & data.
step by step illustration would be very helpful (with images & links if possible).
Thnx man, downloading!
Srry, wrong thread I noticed :x
I am already in CM11s 25R. Can I use the current CM11 recovery and run your zip directly from recovery?
Another question,
would my oneplus still allow me to flash from recovery to stock 25R version after installing this XNPH38R version? I am reading some bad reviews about 38R and I would like to ensure that I can go back to 25R if I won't like 38R.
Calkulins stock rooted safe?
Hi,
My operator closed my data with warnings that is been hacked and abuse by criminals... I used Calkulins R38 v1.0 to update from R33 to R38 (had franco in already then). So how to check if there is no backdoor of something in this zip... I have root rights only for FKU beta, GSam, TWRP and MyProfiles.
I already started monitorin IP traffic, have not noticed anything weird ip's that device is connecting via wifi, ofc cant use mobile data anymore cos its been shut down (for real). So its the rooted stock or some of those applications... nothing else is new from my previous phone app-vise.
Ah, been running this compo for few days without updated only from play store... latest was Francos FKU beta updater... hmmm.?
Any ideas how to check more, tried even those lame virus scanners available...
Cheers!
Can someone give instructions how to flash it? Take into account that i have problem booting into custom recovery. I opened a thread into one plus forum for this (it is called " how to root opo with 38r") but i can't put the link here because i have less than 10 posts.
how can i install if i am not root?
Switching around ROMs last few days, this one works flawlessly. Came from an other ROM which had several bugs. TWRP is the recovery I am using. No problems at all installing it. Thanks to the author of this
Can I just download this straight to my phone?

You r great man
Hi there man,
I Thought my OPO was dead because I made a complete (I mean complete) erase of all kind of data. However I installed TWRP before making that thing, but I tried a lot of ROMs (including Offical ROM) and most of them showed the message (MD5 not found). However your version was great, and worked properly.
Thanks Man. You saved me some bucks. Thanks a lot.

Waiting for Calkulin to apply his magic on the latest OTA release!
Does this wipe device data?
Does this wipe device data?
Does it come with gapps?
Hi all
I just received my OPO last friday.
As soon as i booted up, the OTA update came up, i accepted and installed the update. My phone booted to TWRP recovery (which i had just flashed minutes before) and applied the .zip, but it never rebooted.
Now my phone just have a black screen and there is no way to turn it on. I can feel the vibrate when i hold in the power button, like if it started, but the screen stays dark.
When i plug the phone into the charger, it only vibrates and nothing happens. The screen is all black.
When i plug it into my PC, it's not even recognized.
What the hell did i do wrong, and how do i fix it?!
I'm kinda desperate as i received my OPO last friday, and I really want it up and running!!
Thank you
Maybe u didn't unlock ur bootloader.

8.6.1 weekly
I have been using the 8.6.1 build for 2 days now. Very happy with it everything seems to work fine. I just wanted to let everyone know it boots fast, and will even boot with a custom kernel. I would like to request the option for data speed in status bar if possible. Xposed works dine for me i have android l navbar and youtube adaway even gravity box only for the data traffix monitor but it wouldnt even show up. I tried another xposed module but it was no good either. If there is another way can some please let me know?
In advance thank you greatly.
Hi,
I'm on slimkat 8.6.1. Is anyone having issues with latest version of viber - calling or specifically the mic? Calls get disconnected automatically or the other person can't hear me. It seems that this issue with viber and custom Roms has been going on for a while.
Hopefully someone has a fix or work around. Thanks.
any chance for dual sim
This thread doesn't seem very active. I think it's more clutter to have a different thread just for questions. Was this something the Admins decided or was it asked for by the Slim thread maintainer?
back button behavior
Love this ROM. Thank you.
I'm experiencing strange behavior with the back button. For now I can only report that it happens in Chrome.
After following a few links on a site I tap the back button I hear what sounds like a double-tap. Instead of going back one page in the history it opens a new blank tab.
I really like using the phone's back button, particularly since Chrome moved its back button to the settings menu.
I've noticed that when I remove the button and then add it back it acts as it should.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you done a clean flash? Are you running any xposed modules?
yes

WiFi issues with Build 8.8.x
i also figured that problem.
The solution for me was to set an manual/static IP, it seem DHCP got an issue.
For me that fixed the Problem. I can imagine if the Network is not in the area 192.168.1.x causes the problem .
Any chance for Dual Support?

Hi guys, i was using Moto stock kitkat 4.4.4, l made a backup and installed succefully SlimKat. Now l want to restore to Moto stock KitKat and does not boot. I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0 and the restore is succesfull. But when system start it just shows de google logo with the lock unlocked. And stays there forever. I made all the wipes carefully. The good thing is that when I restore the image of SlimKat that I made it works and my phone is fully operational, but not with Moto stock kitkat.

SlimKat ROM
Hello everyone,
I've been using Slimkat successfully for a few months now. Had some issues with my HTC One M8 and wanted to do a clean install. Still had the original files on my sdcard so I just went in, wiped data cache/factory reset then wiped dalvik (I use Philz for recovery) and then loaded up the original zip and gapps zip file. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I give it 15 minutes and I'm still stuck on the SlimKat loading screen. I remember it taking a few minutes the first time I did it but not this long. Any suggestions?

Xposed has a couple of bad side effects at this point, so before doing anything you need to use Titanium or something similar to Freeze (this basically what the "helper" does):
LGSmartCover
Weather
Weather Theme
WeatherPlatform
Then you can install xposed as in the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
However, there is still one more bug to keep in mind: Xposed will crash the Tethering and Networks menu. There is no fix for that yet, but as a workaround you can download some apps from the play store (like Mobile Network Settings), to shortcut around the menu that force closes.

Great, thanks! Shortly after posting this, I actually tracked down the zip from the standard LG G3 forum and flashed that, which seems (so far) to have worked.
Do you, or anybody for that matter, know by chance any confirmed working xposed modules that work on the stock rom? I tried a couple lollipop-approved modules and so far nothing has worked. It's been a while since I've used xposed, but back when I did I think I only installed gravitybox.
I attached the .zip in case anybody else needs it. Just flash that after flashing the xposed .zip and then install the xposed installer apk

So does this ROM do the "I'M FULLY CHARGED" battery notification thing?
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/help/qa-d850-20f-stock-rom-debloated-t3069026/post60062058
So does this ROM do the "I'M FULLY CHARGED" battery notification thing? I switched to AOSP just to get away from that, but I prefer stock for the camera.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the original stock ROM turns on the screen and fires a notification when the battery is fully charged, so if you have your phone plugged in next to your bed, it'll turn on the screen and buzz every time it drops to 99% and then charges back to 100%, which means every couple minutes, all through the night. No notification setting fixes this, only putting the phone on silent works, and that solution doesn't work for me, nor do I want to mess around with Tasker. I also don't want to unplug my phone when it's charged and start the day with less than a full charge.
Thanks!
Just wanted to say thanks! I have been waiting for a cleaned version of stock Lollipop for the AT&T LG G3 for what feels like months now! I flashed this and the modem file after doing a backup and cleaning everything up first. So far it is working great!
Appreciate it!
So over night I have developed a problem, it's seemed to have added a +1 on front of my numbers, so I get texts from friends but when I reply it says invalid number, is there a setting for this?
Also can we use some super duper Kernels on this rom? Or because it's stock we can't change Kernel's?...

I am unable to download any file (pdf etc..) from any browser. Seems like download folder is locked somehow and I am unable to delete any files from there. I tried changing permission for download folder but that too failed. Screenshots are also not getting saved. Camera picture seems to be getting saved.

Not sure but sounds like it may be an sdcard permissions issue. Take a look at the OP here and see if the fix suggested for sdcard permissions works.
Just to Clarify
I have the LG G3 D850 the ATT Model
So in order to install the new ROM:
1. I put the ROM.zip (1.1GB) and the Modem.zip on the SD Card
2. Also the Super SU on the SD Card
3. Boot the Phone on TWRP
4. Chosse install the three archives: ROM, Modem and SuperSU
5. After the reboot, clean the cache
Excuse me for ask, but I,m not a expertise in the matter.
Also I have more questions:
1. I already instal the lollipop from cyanogen but the phone doesnt work well. ¿There is a problem with that?
2. I must first back up the contacts, ¿Right?
3. I just need the 1.1GB ROM, ¿Right?
Thank you for response this questions.
Flashed all 3 files with a clean install. Only problem I've come across is my phone will no longer vibrate from a text or when I use my keyboard. AT&T LG G3 D850

That worked for me.
Also, make sure you do exactly as the desctiption says, don't change the order of actions (as i did) because then it will not work.
First make sure that you pc has the right drivers (or use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
Then use v4 from this link and use the right order (http://en.miui.com/thread-117336-1-1.html)
So first TWRP then root (if you still need it).

Mi4i going into bootloop after flashing CM based roms!
I have tried almost all of the custom roms(latest ones) available for Xiomi mi 4i but neither of them actually worked for me. Whenever i flash the roms, it gets installed correctly and when it asks for language selection, it shuts off. I have tried flashing with both twrp and cwm, cleared cache, dalvik cache but problem never solved. I think the CM has some serious problems with this devices.

I have tried flashing with both twrp and cwm, cleared cache, dalvik cache but problem never solved. I think the CM has some serious problems with this devices.

Mine is not directly going into boot loop.
Sometimes it works a few minutes (up to 20 or so), but it will shut down.
When connected to power it does NOT shut down, but still.
I tried yesterday the CM 12.1 version from Smoki3 from july 30th and that seems to work, but i did not have any time any more, so i had to restore my nadroid backup.
Will try it later again (maybe tomorrow) if that really does work, or if it was just to short time for it to shut down.

I think I was using developer rom and flashed CM on it directly so the problem occured. I read somewhere on a forum that you should flash it on global rom. I tried it with ASOPA-L rom as it was having the same problem and it worked flawlessly. Now going to try it with latest CM rom.
One thing I noticed the camera quality is better in ASOPA-L but this rom lacks performance mode.
I'm experiencing bad speaker sound after installing this ROM. Is there any way to fix that.

I'm absolutely loving this rom. I've no idea why xiaomi let's miui be so slow and laggy. This room feels great and everything runs/opens so much faster and it looks fantastic. Cmon Xiaomi, step up your game, miui is way too heavy.
Like other people have mentioned, the only downside to not having miui is the camera. I've tried a bunch of others and the quality is greatly reduced compared to the miui camera. Please someone, please port miui 6 camera!!! PLEASE!! I'll be your best friend.
Whenever i boot ..it turns off...pls hlp
Thanks in advance

i also experienced the same problem when i was on miui 7 beta... i was able to flash twrp recovery but failed to flash custom ROMs... after that i reverted back to miui6 6.6.10.0 by using fastboot... and then again flashed twrp using mi toolkit v4 and succeeded in flashing custom ROM... this works 100%.Keep in mind that u can't flash a custom ROM..if u r on later version of 6.6.10.0
