Sideloading 4.4.1 on nexus 5

Ok, so i've been trying to sideload 4.4.1 on my nexus 5, i am able to verify they adb can see my device and that i can send the file to it as well.
The problem that I'm coming across is that when the installation process start it then then says:
'e: footer is wrong
e: signature verification failed
installation failed'
if anyone know a fix to this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason it is still aborting the installation.
Any ideas why?

Idk, I flashed through a custom recovery. You could get a custom recovery image then fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. Where recovery.img is the custom recovery image

Anyone else got any ideas?

are you stock? could be any of the system or configuration files are failing.

just tried that link and no look, still getting the same error.
and yes it is stock.

It should give you an error as to why it's aborting. Post that and we can help.

I could not get my win8.1 pc to see the device in stock recovery (driver issue that I did not feel like dealing with), but it would see it in fastboot. Flashed factory image, TWRP and then the update.

im not really wanting to root my device though.
when i try it again this is what i get not sure if you can tell what the error is.
'now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "dab side load <filename>...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
installation aborted.

Anyone got any thoughts?

No thoughts I'm afraid but I'm getting this error too.
Could it be to do with having usb drivers for multiple devices installed on my PC?

hmm.., i don't think it will be drivers as I'm doing this through mac

I think you should be getting the 4.2.2 update OTA soon, or you should have it already. I side loaded mine on a Mac too, but it worked flawlessly.
Do you have android debugging turned on?
Plug it into your computer and a message should come up on your phone, asking it to remember the key or something. Click allow. I don't know if that will make a difference but its worth a try

Lenovo A850 OTA Firmware s126 22 02 2014
I just got the Lenovo A850. The first thing it wanted to do is download the OTA Firmware update. It failed!
Nick 2014 did the phone just keep asking if you want to update to the latest firmware every once and a while without doing anything? Do you know where the update is downloaded to?
Coolosal, did you have to do anything special for it to work OTA?
Is there a way to force the update because an update available does not show up in "about device".
Thanks

@mateo,
after a month the phone ask me if i want to upgrade the firmware with title "A850_ROW_S116_130922_TO_A850_ROW_S127_140303". The download of new version complete successful and i was select update now. The phone restart in bios mode and trying to update from sdcard, unsuccess to the end.
You can find the archive "update.zip" after you download it and don't do the update, in: file browser/build-in storage/googleota.
Remember! If you select to do the upgrade and phone change in bios mode and failed, the archive dissappeared.
I read somewhere "..i uninstall the calendar from phone and i can't complete the upgrade, then i reflash the phone and the upgrade works correctly"
I uninstall the calendar too because it have only chinese, i reflash the phone but nothing..
If someone else doing any different and have success please tell us the way.
@masakaty,
This is the version who came to me.

Forgive me for my bad english guys..

Trying to upgrade Tab 2 7" GT-P3113

OK, this is the first time I have tried something like this, so please excuse any newbe questions..
Ok First I tried to root my P3113 and it looks like it completed correctly, but when I test it with Root Checker and it says that it is it is not rooted..
I have also tried to update it to both 5.1 and 6.0 and it comes up with an error that says Failed to verify whole-file signature, then signature verification failed.
Obviously I am doing something wrong and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks for all the help.

Firstly, install a custom recovery (TWRP) with odin. You're getting signature verification failed because you're using stock recovery. Then flash the zip through that (make sure to follow instructions on rom thread).
