i tried to install update 68, the shield reboots get me to the screen with the android on its back, select the update install, then it errors out?
is the device being rooted causing the issue o the bootloader.
also if this or any small update installed correctly would i lose my root access,
if i lose root, will i always have to start from a factory rest and lose all my information to root it again.
thanks
An unlocked bootloader is not the problem. If you somehow modified the system image ( like rooted/removed apps, integrated updates into ROM, installed custom recovery or something else) the update process will fail because of it. That might have to do with the fact its an incremental update which checks if it is modified/rooted and/or will update apps which aren´t there anymore.
One way to solve this is to backup your apps and data. Then flash stock recovery and stock image via fastboot and install all updates from the beginning.
The other way is to go to Nvidias Support Page for the Shield. Then download the latest Update for it. It´s an sh package which needs to be extracted under Ubuntu or special tool for windows. Then you can flash the newest image and recovery directly with fastboot. Didn´t try that.
Hope i was able to help you.
Hi,
today I received a security update in my Nexus 5. I accepted it and when rebooted it got stuck in the multirom menu and it didnt update anything. Last time I have to lock the device and flash the rooted image in order to proceed with the update. this time I would like to do it diferently if possible.
Is there any other way to flash the update without removing multirom and locking back the device?
where is the update.zip stored when the system automatically downloads the update? maybe I could manually flash it using the TWRP.
thanks!
Jose
I bought a Nexus 5 (refurbished) from Freedom Pop. I can't remember what version is came with, maybe 4.4.4. First thing I did with it was install CWM (6.0.4.7) and flash the Google Nexus 5 factory image (5.1.1 / LMY48B) and root the device. Now that LMY48I is out, I got a OTA notification about a system update. When I try to do the OTA update, it fails. So I downloaded the update zip to take LMY48B->LMY48I from http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/10/download-nexus-4-5-6-7-9-10-ota-stagefright-patches/ . I boot into CWM and install zip, but it fails with:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/hammerhead/hammerhead:5.1.1/LMY48B/1863243:user/release-keys; this device has google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.2/KOT49H/937116 Instllation aborted.
When I go to Settings, System, it shows I have LMY48B. Why does the install think I have KOT49H? When I flashed the factory image it did it not update some file somewhere and if so, how can I get that file to accurately report what I'm running?
Thanks,

You must return to stock before you attempt to install that zip. That means you cannot be rooted or have custom recovery in place
I've got a stock N5 I bought from Google on LMY48B and there's still no update for me.
Does anyone know what the roll-out timeline is for the LMY48I?
When should I conclude that I'm not going to get it OTA and resign myself to factory wipe and flashing the image?
I have a stock Nexus 5, rooted w/ cf-auto-root, re-locked , no custom recovery or bootloaders, and all i see is Error when trying to install this OTA. I'm stuck at the moment myself. Installing the OTA should just unroot my phone, but it won't install. Currently running on 5.1.1 (LMY48B) myself.

Mine is stock, un-rooted, but I too keep getting an Error when trying to install the OTA. Stuck on LMY48B at the moment.

I have the same problem her as well with my nexus 5 it keeps saying error with little droid I've tried side loading manually but it didn't work also tried hard reset and wiping cache but nothing solved the problem so i just figured out the problem is the package it self
Same problem here
Same thing here, error with little droid picture on rooted android 5.1.1.
Has anyone found the reason for this ?
Try flashing system image directly

This possibility makes me spend a lot of time, becouse i have lcd_density changed and all apps when i restore a backup are not in the main screen.

This method is for anyone with lmy48b that's rooted or has a radio, kernel or recovery custom flashed.
Condensed version but here's the important pieces. You will lose root if you are unrooted. You will not lose any data or settings if done this way.
Step 1. Download lmy48b from google
Step 2. Unzip lmy48b package
Step 3. Copy bootloader, radio and system.img from lmy48b package (unzip zipped file for bootloader and system.img)
Step 4. Connect phone and boot into bootloader
Step 5. Type in fastboot flash recovery [recovery].img replace [recovery] with the actual file name
Step 6. Type in fastboot flash radio [radio].img
Step 7. Type in fastboot flash system [system].img
Step 8. Reboot
Step 9. Update via OTA
Working - confirmed

Thanks, confirmed that this method worked. Managed to update my rooted nexus 5 to LMY48I
Tried to install ota update after reverting to stock recovery using Simple Recovery Switcher app. However, also the error message, with little Android picture also appears. Please help
I assume this removed your root, though.
It seems we are getting a new factory image en september to properly solve the stagefright bug
"A second patch has been sent out. "We’ve already sent the fix to our partners to protect users, and Nexus 4/5/6/7/9/10 and Nexus Player will get the OTA update in the September monthly security update"
I have decided i will stay at 5.1.1 untill Android M maybe september also. In the meanwhile i have disabled MmsService and OTA.

I'm with you, not going to try to flash these things, there are a few zip files out there dated a couple days ago, apparently the zips aren't tested prior to release since everyone is getting failure when flashing the zip file.
Is there really no method to apply OTA updates on rooted/modified devices (e.g. modify the update.zip itself to bypass whatever checks it performs)?
Same problem here- only had a custom recovery and root. brought back the stock recovery and did full unroot from SuperSu.
OTA update installtion stops with "Error".
Just flash the system image from the update.

Thanks, I ended up doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62288667&postcount=196
(flashing stock system, boot and recovery from my current version, letting OTA update install and re-rooting according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905)
I guess i could have flashed the new version just the same.
**Resolved** I managed to resolve this by re-enabling all apps I'd disabled using the normal android option in settings (just google newsstand etc.), It wouldn't update from an OTA or a full package of a later version but it would accept an update from YNG1TAS2I3 that it was already on, it updated over the top of itself and after that OTA's seem to be working, there's a lot to do though.

Hi, I'm trying to update a family members phone from YNG1TAS2I3. The phone is completely stock, it's never been modified or rooted at all. It only runs apps from Google Play and it was updated to this version by OTA.
Recovery gives the following error when installing the update:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system has been remounted r/w; reflash drvice to reenable ota updates
Any ideas? I really really don't want to have to factory reset it, root it or put a custom recovery on it? Can I force flash it over the top to marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader or anything? I've also tried flashing the full rom from stock recovery but that doesn't seem to work either.
Thanks,
I have an Xperia Z5 with a custom bootloader and a TWRP recovery (obviously rooted and has the Xposed binaries installed). I've tried installing the OTA update for Android 6.0.1 but it keeps failing to install (re-downloaded it over 7 times).
I was wondering if anyone knew where the temporary folder is where the OTA update is stored before installation?
That way, I could download the OTA update again, move it to another folder and install it via the TWRP recovery.
