I just got my OTA Stagefright update from LMY48B to LMY48I on my N5 hammmerhead. I need some advice from anyone who’s in the know on the best way for me to update.
I’m current on stock L5.1.1 LMY48B rooted, unlocked bootloader with TWRP custom recovery and just one small mod (center clock) and that’s it, all else is stock. I try to update the OTA but it would boot into TWRP and stops. I also try to re-flash the stock recovery but when I try to update OTA it to would also boot into stock recovery with the android guy laying sideways and red question mark and stops. I saw this post and not sure if this will work in my case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/stagefright-update-lmy48b-lmy48i-t3177268/page2
Do I need to flash the update with ADB or do I need to flash the factory image? any help is most appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like we are having the same issue except i didn't have any mod, and i have CWM instead of TWRP
The OTA update indeed stops pretty soon, for me it then moves to an "error" screen.
When i try to log into the stock recovery i flashed (by opening the bootloader mode and choosing recovery mode) i get a "No command" screen.
Ota won't work unless you're bone stock. Flash the factory images.

Hi!
I rooted my Nexus few months back from now with Fastboot recovery. I got my Android ICS update 4.0.4 last week, I tried downloading it, I downloaded it, then it said rebooting for install. But my Nexus S freezes at Google logo with my unlocked lock sign. I have tried installing it many times, but all in vein.
Please somebody help!

If you're rooted, why dont you just use the rooted method to install the update. Someone made the update flashable. Its in the development section.
either way, pull the battery to see if you still have your recovery(volume up and power button)... if so, then restore to your latest restored point, hoping that you did make a backup
Then download the newest ICS update and just flash it the rooted way.
But if you insist on the official, unroot and then get the update via stock recovery method
good luck
Are you using the latest version of CWM?
If you've got a modified system image (including root), you should not use official upgrade packages. If you want to update the rooted system, you can use unofficial packages (in CWM). To boot a system, please start your recovery and flash a proper (4.0.4, unrooted or rooted, signed or unsigned) system image. If you erase the data partition all of your data is lost!
If you have stock recovery, then only signed images can be flashed. To be able to flash unsigned images you'll need CWM, which can be flashed through fastboot.
By the way official firmware can be downloaded from Google. Important! All of your data (including USB storage area) will be lost after the full upgrade with fastboot!
Hi guys, I just got a new Note. I was able to flash CWM Recovery using odin. After this, I flashed the stock recovery and booted it up. I tried updating the software via OTA, but after it reboots trying to update, it says update failed. It fails at 24% when the android symbol comes up after booting
Please help me
no help yet??
I'd bet $100 you didn't reset flash counter before flashing stock recovery....
Agree.
U have to reset counter, flash back stock recovery.
OTA is urs.

Most curious. AFAIK, OTA's will fail without stock recovery.
It seems the OTA's check for root or altered rom files, this has been my experience anyway, and if found to have been altered fails....

People i know haven't even unlocked their bootloader
But can't update?
me too, have the same problem.
I'll just flash the 4.4.4 EU image for my XT1032...
and I'll do the same thing for when lollipop comes around
Its look like you must reset factory then direct updating your firmware..
have you unroot and relocked your bootloader?
Try restoring to stock: Flash 4.4.3, go to stock recovery and try to make the update search, if this is not working do a clean flash (wipe cache+userdata) and try to update, some time ago i noticed that cannot update the firmware of my 4.4.2 because the cmw recovery, then wiped cache and intalled stock recovery and everything went fine
To receive OTA updates device should be only on stock recovery no cmw, no twrp. Try to install stock recovery with fresh stock rom, and remember to enable any disabled system apps (if any) like Motorola services, Motorola OTA, then only you will able to receive and install updates....
You need the stock recovery
Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM recovery and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a working stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
I've tried flashing a couple of stock recoveries, but one fails to flash at all and the other doesn't work - you choose recovery and it just reboots the phone.
At the moment it's back to rooted, unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Are you able to locate the phone's from here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
Hi there !
I have U11 2.31.400 version
-Bootloader Unlocked
-TWRP installed
- Root with Masgik
Now i want get OTA update
-First, NO RUU, i tried Restore NANDoid backup and Flash stock recovery (same version)
(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JL3tRWDSVOUKo_revEYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=1564536856)
-> Not work
-I tried flash stock Firmware ( got 35_RU_Partition_not_support firmware error)
Anyone can tell me how to got OTA with out RUU??
Hi there
I think we're in the same situation.
I also unlocked my phone, installed TWRP and Magisk on stock system and did a NANDroid Backup before doing so.
In order to get the OTA I restored stock recovery (which i had to extract from OTA, since i forgot to back it up) and started OTA.
--> Red Triangle!
Even after restoring stock NANDroid the OTA wouldn't install.
My mistake i think was that i didn't kept the stock system read only when i did the backup in twrp and swiped to allow modifications.
According to some threads here, even mounting the system r/w would break OTA functionality.
So since i also have no RUU for my device, i don't have the chance either to go back to stock. Maybe you did that mistake too.
The only way i can think of now, is to go temporary S-OFF, change CID and MID (to 401 international for example), flash Firmware and run the RUU for it.
But i'm not sure it'll still work after flashing the firmware.
Can anyone maybe confirm this way would work?
Thanks
Edit: Hi, in case you're still having this problem, here's a solution:
Reverting to stock
