I bought a Nexus 5 used online. I can't remember what version is came with, maybe 4.4.4. First thing I did with it was update it which put it to Adroid 5.1.1 LMY48B. When any update came out after that I would try to update it, but it would not work. I would download the update, which would then let me install it, but once it restarts to install it, it gives me the Adroid fella with an "Error" underneath. This has happened for every update and now even for Android 6.0.1. I have cleared the cache and wiped the phone entirely multiple times. It is not rooted or have any custom backup's or whatever. It is just unlocked.
I literally have tried everything and haven't a clue how to fix it. Is there any hope you guys could try and help me?
Have you tried flashing a stock Google ROM and then running the update? Note that you need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash a stock ROM.
Facing same issues here but my N5 is rooted and I've not installed any custom recovery...

Yeah tats right but my phone didn't boot up with the stock version either ...stuck in bootloop

Thanks a lot Man!
I tried this link and tried it many times and it didn't work.
Then I tried one thing. I kept my 3G off and then cleared the data. and then activated it and then hit system updates and got ICS update
Okay there is one more problem, I have downloaded the update and rebooted and it was stuck at same Google logo for an hour. Then I removed battery and restarted and it was missing.
So can anybody tell how to do manually?

I upgraded my moms nexus s tmobile version from 2.3.6 to ics 4.0.4. She doesn't like the gui and the performance. It seems slow.
I looked online here and downloaded the rom for the tmobile nexus s but it wont install. It keeps showing error code 7 and it fails when verifying the rom.
What going on. Is it possible to downgrade back to 2.3.6 stock without rooting or modding?
Please help. Thanks.

Not possible from a strictly stock sense. Generally, you'll need to unlock the bootloader and lose all data on the phone and then flash 2.3.x with a custom recovery like CWM.

Make a factory reset and tell your mom to use ICS at least for a month.

If your device is a i9020t then flash the 'soju' images for 2.3.6 direct from Google here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
It'll probably keep notifying you to update to 4.0.4 though.
I'm about to downgrade to Gingerbread as well. I'm fed up with the mute call bug. I can't believe Google has not released any fix yet, what a lack of professionalism.

What mute call bug? Can you elaborate as i've never noticed it.
Whenever I make a call, I can't hear the person and can't be heard neither. I have to call down and call right away a 2nd time to make it work.
A couple of NS users reported the problem on xda
HA! Something similar happened to me last night. It has never happened to me before. I recently had to fix my phone's mic and thought me tinkerning with it resulted in the issue. Glad to see it wasn't just me. I cleared the data for the phone application and it's working again. Not sure if that was how it was fixed but I rebooted and the problem was still there and I promptly cleared the data after the initial try on the reboot. Did you guys have an issue with the phone not giving you the ringing tone when making the outgoing call?

I tried that. It still gives the unverified error code 7 message.
Are you following the exact instructions on the google page and using fastboot to flash?
wipe cache partition then wipe dalvik cache wipe batter stats and make sure device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked then make sure you have the 2.3.6 for your version of the device then flash hopefully should work
Flash Oxygen if you don't want ICS!! Enough said.
I am having issues installing the OTA Kit Kat on T-moblie LGG2
I have stock rom plus rooted.
xposed was installed.
I uninstalled xposed.
I used SuperSU to disable root.
I get the system update.
It downloads and says click to install and restart.
I've done that 5 times. IT just restarts and doesn't update. No errors or anything.
Anybody else have this issue or know what I can do?
Thanks.
Well first in o order to take or a while rooted you have to be totally stock nothing can be modified also sometimes it would give a message like "this phone is suspected of rooting" and the only way to be able to update would be to go back to stock and only root then take ota

You can also try hard factory reset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ogBvzbPikc
Every ROM I load on my N5 will not reconnect to data after have been on wifi. The only "ROM" that doesn't do this is when I am running Stock + Rooted + Xposed. Just seems really strange...even though I believe this is a known issue with 4.4.2 on many Nexus devices.
Happens to me to rarely on 4.4.2 stock. Don't worry, we've just gotta wait for that elusive secret update known as 4.4.3. Every time it happens I reboot into recovery just to take the opportunity and update kernels / clear caches and fix permissions.

I hope 4.4.3 fixes it. I am a total ROM whore and not being able to load new ROMs is killing me.

So I installed the 4.4.3 update to my N5 after setting back to stock and unrooted and locked and all that fun stuff. Ran stock for a few days then unlocked and rooted it. Installed Paranoid Android and lo and behold...I have a data connection when not connected to WiFi! I then installed the latest nightly for CyanogenMod and did not have a data connection when not on WiFi...that seems rather odd to me....
Hello,
So I finally got the notification to download OTA Lollipop today, which I did. Problem is, when I went to install it, the phone restarted, an ERROR screen popped up. I restarted the phone, the update wasn't installed and now when I "Check for Updates" it says I'm up to date.
How can I install the update without side-loading it?

I had the exact same issue but it sounds like a good thing it didn't update from all the issues everyone keeps posting all over the net. Is your device rooted? OTA only works on completely stock devices I read somwhere.
I too ran into this problem. But before i returned my phone to stock i converted it to kali linux. At first i thought it was an encryption issue, so i restored my phone. I still received the error message.
To install kali linux i had to unlock the boot loader, then flash the software. I returned to stock by wiping, flashing stock, then locking the boot loader.
With Xposed not supporting 5.0 I am thinking of stating 4.4.4
I want to stay at 4.4.4. Can't get rid of the Update nag -- and I've tried everything.

I found my problem. My gps.conf file was edited by Faster GPS. I forgot to revert before the OTA and thus my error occurred. I hope this helps.
I'm still getting the same issue after supposed install:
I've had the OTA notification for a while but it won't install. It downloads and then when it does the reboot I see it trying to update then I get the 'Red Triangle'. It reboots again back to 4.4.4
Phone was rooted but still using the stock ROM so I did a factory restore, I'm still getting the same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
