install a nougat sprint ruu that will restore your phone back to stock including the recovery(you'll loose your data so backup first). then you'll be able to install all ota updates for Nougat.

To be very honest I am a newbie, I see firmware and RUU, which one is supposed to come first and are these two very important,? why should I flash the RUU and still flash the update? Please don't be offended at my question am just trying to learn....A nougat flashable zip through twrp recovery will be great... please enlighten me on how to differentiate RUU,firmware and ota.. Thanks

Hello All, I have a rooted Nexus 5 with custom recovery. I need to update the same to 5.1 but since I am rooted I am unable to do the same through OTA updates. Can someone please point me out to the instructions to update the same? I tried a few things from online but it did not help. Which will be the best solution to update the android version without losing the root and the data on the phone? I will be really appreciative if someone can help me with the same.
Just unroot, install the ota and reroot on 5.1. You might have to lose the custom recovery but it's easy to install it back

5.0 will check recovery and overwrite twrp if your not rooted. Download latest SuperSU and place on sd. Boot to boot loader/fastboot. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG. then fastboot boot recovery.IMG. then when twrp boots, flash SuperSU. Reboot

download the factory image and you can use the flash-all.bat in the factory 5.1 image as long as you remove the -w. The -w is what tells it to wipe. Once that is done, you will be on 5.1 and you can then re-root by booting into a custom recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img) and installing the root.zip from there. That will get your root back.
Thanks everyone for the help. I was able to successfully install the update and re-root the device using the wugfresh toolkit.
See OTA help desk thread on General forum.

thanks.. I found a thread but its for LOCKED bootloader.. mine is already unlocked... Is there any way to re-lock my bootloader?
The procedure is same for unlocked bootloader (for rooting you don't need to downgrade if unlocked but since you're rooted it matters not).

Install a recovery, flash a pre-rooted lollipop rom.
Find recovery in the dev section (If you already have recovery you are OK)
Find pre-rooted flashable zips in the general section, download it, flash it.

what do you mean by "flash it?".. how?, can i do that with twrp recovery?
put the zip on your sdcard, enter recovery and choose the option to install a custom update.
I got a galaxy note 8. i rooted using chainfire auto root. then used flashify to flash twrp. now my question is i heard you need to unlock bootloader before flashing a rom. how do i know if mine is locked or not. i have the GT-N5110 model if that helps.
also i cyanogenmod as safe as googles stock rom. and where do i get the Gapps.zip thx.
If the TWRP that you flashed with Flashify is working, probably your bootloader is unlocked.
Flash it directly after installing twrp and root.

I just got a refurbished m8 from insurance, and instead of using adb to root and unlock I had to use kingroot and firewater or sunshine..whatever it's called. I haven't been able to flash a custom recovery yet, but I have an OTA to upgrade to marshmallow.
If I upgrade will I still be unlocked and rooted?

You will still be unlocked but it will either fail to flash or you will no longer be rooted (it's easy to reroot though). If I were you I would upgrade by flashing the marshmallow ruu or if your interested in custom roms then just flash the mm firmware and whatever rom you like.

So the problem I'm having is I'm running Linux and even though I have downloaded the sdk platform I can't figure out how to flash anything. Also why do I need the marshmallow firmware for custom roms?

The 3rd link here will get you updated firmware (but not the os) + the latest TWRP and is flashable without a computer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972/page36
You don't necessarily need MM firmware for custom roms but it's recommended to have firmware that matches the software version your custom Rom is based on. I guess I assumed you were interested in MM based roms.

pardon my ignorance but I'm trying to figure out what RUU is. When I got my m8 2 years ago none of this existed I would use adb to do everything manually, now it seems like there is some new wave.
From what I googled RUU is specifically for LOCKED bootloaders (S-on) ? since my device is unlocked won't that ruin my phone? also how can I flash TWRP with just my phone?
my plan was just to flash clean rom back to my phone it's what I've been using, if I flash the mm firmware wouldn't that mess with functionality? does MM have any advantages over Loli?

So just to clarify, I have a 6045I factory global unlocked from Amazon, It has never been rooted, bootloader unlocked, nothing. So would I place on SD and apply update through stock recovery, or is there a different method? Really just want root for adaway and xposed. TWRP would be nice, but not necessary. Just don't want a new paperweight. Thanks!
Can i install twrp to flash thid or stock is fine?
You can try windroid toolkit v3.1.
First u have to unlock bootloader then to flash recovery and supersu .
For me it is not recognising my phone hope u will get success.
If try then pls share ur experience.

I'd run a full virus /malware scan.... I use 360 Security on mobile devices and PC's. It, along with SUPERAntiSpyware has served me well.

Well the obvious choices are:
1) Use mobile Q to restore to 5.0.2...unlock bootloader, install twrp....upgrade to marshmallow using the modified update.zip that doesn't wipe recovery and finally root using the file mentioned.
or
2) Live with it as it is until someone figures out how to restore fastboot which will probably still require downgrading.

That's the problem. This phone is totally stock with nothing done but the update. I literally charged it, turned it on and 20 minutes later 6.0.1 was nagging for install, which I did. There is now the OEM unlock switch in developing options, but I don't know where to start, or flash.

You must go back to 5.0 to install and then update it because in 6.0.1 update Removes Fastboot commands so you can't install it twrp....
I have a problem with rooting 6039Y on rom 6.0.1 by persona78. Stock rom 5.0.2 and root working fine. When i flash via TWRP after the update to MM i get this message:
-Cheking patch status
---Already patched, attempting to find stock backup
---Stock restore failed, attempting ramdisk restore
---Ramdisk restore failed, aborting
This solution - echo SYSTEMLESS=true >> /data/.supersu - not working.
Phone was simlock removed via furiousgold, maybe this is a problem?
