this worked for me, i actually flashed the volume mod. I left the mod applied and put SuperSU into Survival Mode, wiped dalvik in TWRP, then i was able to flash the update.

before trying to flash without wiping dalvik, i would get a failure.

do u have a custom recovery installed?- if so just download UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip from here and copy it to your device ... turn off your phone. Now, hold vol down and power at the same time to get into FASTBOOT mode. Once in fastboot mode, press either the vol up or vol down buttons until you see Recovery - press the power button to select Recovery.

you should see your TWRP/CWM boot up. once in custom recovery, flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip as you would any other file zip file. reboot and you should be rooted again.

you should be safe using that app again to root. It's essentially doing what you would have to do in adb for u. give it a try and let me know.

once rooted you can install your custom recovery via goomanager.

Nexus 5 model 820 won't get any OTA's I still haven't received the krt16s update(now on krt16m)

Tried wugfresh's toolkit to sideload the ota but I don't get the option of updating through adb. My nexus 4 had no such problems and otas arrived within hours of availability.

My phone is completely stock and unrooted!

Any suggestions would be much apreciated
[Nexus 5 General] Android The Greek:
Is adb working in the OS but not recovery?
[Nexus 5 General] SupaHumaN:
I'm gonna sound completely n00b But I'm not sure how to check that.
[Nexus 5 General] Android The Greek:
If you have SDK manager installed and you need to go into command prompt (run cmd) then navigate to platform tools (CD user/android/SDK/platform tools or where ever you have you SDK files) then put your device in USB debug mode plug into PC and type AdB devices.
[Nexus 5 General] Funkym0nkey:
I dont think Nexus 5 ever received krt16s build over OTA. That was meant for other Nexus devices which got ported to Nexus 5 through some ROMs. But as far as OTA is concerned, this is the first one for me.

I think he meant e not s
[Nexus 5 General] SupaHumaN:
I might have got misinformed so I was actually expecting the S update.. Now I feel more confident that with time I'll get the "first" ota as well..

[Nexus 5 General] jc monkeyballs:
That's actually just the stock recovery. No worries.
[Nexus 5 General] lyall29:
When you see the android with the red triangle, press and hold volume down and then tap the power button. I'm pretty sure that's how you get into recovery.

If that doesn't work try to hit the volume down and the power buttons simultaneously, don't hold them.

No issues here updating to 4.4.1.

I did have a custom ROM flashed but I restored a backup I had which was Stock, rooted and a few manual Mods done.

Once restored, I took the 'system.img' from stock google image and installed it via fastboot:

fastboot flash system system.img

Rebooted into recovery (TWRP) from the bootloader, installed the OTA update. Once the update was done installing, I flashed SuperSU 1.80.

Everything is working great :)

root, bootloader e recovery mod

Hello,

I try to flash the update through recovery, but it always fails in libart.so, maybe because I made the fix to whatsapp using ART, someone can post the zip to flash the original libart.so? I mean a zip you can flash from recovery and not the only library to be changed manually.

Hello Everyone

I have Nexus 5 with stock Room KRT16M which I rooted using CF Auto Root tool. No custom recovery or custom ROM or any system modifications (no mods, no Xposed etc)

1. How do I update step by step to KOT49E?

2. Will I loose root? If so - how do I get it back ?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
download the update.zip and adb sideload it.

if you are stock you may not be familiar with adb... go through the tutorials to get the sdk installed. (i'm not a windows user, the install is different for me) once adb devices see the phone i can walk you through the sideload process if you are interested... if not you should get another notification within 2 weeks. the rollout process only updates about 1% in the first 1-2 days.. they use that time to gauge problems then try to make it available to 100% within 2 weeks. so perhaps you will get another notifications in that time frame..

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

not sure if you can update with root. you may need to flash the system.img to restore it as stock first... this doesn't delete user data if you only reflash the system partition. once you have a stock system image you can download the update.zip and rename it something shorter like perhaps "update.zip" or "4.4.1.zip" use adb to reboot-bootloader use the volume to toggle down to recovery,or perhaps adb reboot recovery works (haven't tried that command on this device yet) select "update from adb" and it will allow adb to connect again in sideload only mode... then run adb devices again to make sure you are connected and then adb sideload update.zip (or whatever you named it, forgot to mention to put the .zip in the platform-tools folder of the sdk next to adb)

After trying to load the latest win_usb.drivers it still did not work so I right clicked on the exclamation point and hit browse and installed the ADB3122013 drivers and bam went back to the comand prompt typed adb sideload and then draged the original downloaded file and hit enter....booom! I am now cooking with 4.41. For those that got errors after booting into recovery I suggest you check your device manager to see if the device registers.....mine registered when I did an adb devices, and displayed the serial number, However; when I booted into recovery everything seemed fine until it asked for the file that I wanted to upload....

After finding the exlamation point I plaed with usb driver and decided to load the ADB312 drivers and got rewarded with the update! I did this by going to the let me choose the driver on the machine rather than the browse driver feature. I already had the Latest Android SDK from the MSL install that I did. So to clarify you must choose let me install drivers on the machine rather than browse for drivers.

widgetlocker failing to open

I'm running stock, rooted and custom recovery. I used TWRP to flash the OTA zip and superSU-1.8. I rebooted to a fully functional system with root, but widgetlocker won't start. If I launch the app, I get an open-link-with dialog with my browsers and the play store as options. I'm not sure if this is widgetlocker incompatibility with 4.4.1 or something else going on. Anyone else see this?

[Nexus 5 General] phanitej:
My setup was... Stock(rooted)-->TWRP-->Franco kernel-->Volume Mod-->3 way reboot

I had the stock image files with me. So used fastboot to flash system and boot.img files. Then went to recovery and installed the zip(OTA zip file) as we normally flash a custom ROM zip and it booted fine.

PS: I lost root after rebooting because i did not check survival mode in SuperSU. I wanted to make sure i had a clean SuperSU install, hence flashed the latest SuperSU zip from here

And then flashed Franco's r19, then changed my DPI to 320 and boom. Everything as i wanted. No data lost. All apps intact(yes i did get back those stock google apps like GoogleEars or SOundSearch, Hangouts, Movies, music etc..)
[Nexus 5 General] automaddux:
I flashed back to stock and applied after it kept failing. Weird thing is, I tried to make some phone calls after the update and it kept saying "call not sent" but the call went through anyways.

unable to flash 4.4.1/2 zip (libart.so error)

argghhhh nothing is working! Ive been trying since several hours :(

my basic problem is when flashing 4.4.1 (or 4.4.2) zip, TWRP gives the following errors :

"

/system/lib/libart.so has unexpected contents

E:/ error executing updater binary in zip "/sdard/[name of zip]

error flashing zip' /sdcard/[name of zip] '

"

I am on Nexus 4, stock 4.4, stock kernel with root. Just got SU pro for the survival mode feature, still facing the same error.

I was running ART, with an older version of whatsapp. (this is most likely what is causing the libart.so error) but i never modified any lib.so file. Just installed an older version of whatsapp and it worked with ART.

Things i've tried : -wipe dalvik and cache (during every following attempt)

-switch from ART to dalvik

-delete and remove all bloody whatsapp files

-tried to push the flashable 4.4.2 zip using sideload with wug's toolkit

-tried to simply flash it using TWRP recovery mode,after enabling survuval mode in superSU

-tried to replace existing libart.so file to the stock libart.so file provided in another xda thread (this failed, as even with root i was not able to replace/delete/rename the existing libart.so file. i was trying to do it using astro file manager from the phone itself so i expected it to fail!)

Nothing has worked

Please help!

EDIT : FIXED BY FLASHING SYSTEM.IMG . no data lost

Hi Just some help please.

How do I go past this to flash the .zip to 4.4.1.
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
Looks like you have the stock recovery. Plug your phone in with USB debugging enabled, extract this driver to your desktop, go to Windows Device Manager, select your Nexus 5 and guide the computer to your driver files you just extracted. Make sure you are in ADB sideload mode on the phone. Download the update on to your computer, rename it update.zip. From there, open a command prompt window and type "adb sideload update.zip" from the folder it is located (ON YOUR COMPUTER)
[Nexus 5 General] nizaamh:
Thanks man. Is there any way to do this without a computor tho.
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
If you are rooted, download flashify from the play store. If you are not rooted, no.

Download TWRP recovery from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead (use 2.6.3.4)

Select the file after its done downloading, use Flashify to flash custom recovery.

Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery (vol down + power and scroll up)

Click on "install" in TWRP, navigate to the file you have on your phone, and swipe to flash. Reboot and you're done.

[Nexus 5 General] Smith7018:
GUYS: This is an OTA meant for stock. This means it's not flashing new files, really; it's patching files. That means it won't work if you're:

Deodexed

AOSP

Using a custom ROM

Altered the System partition in any way

Possibly using a custom kernel

What we need is for someone to flash this over stock and then make a backup of their system partition. From there, we could deodex that and then start modding it.

(Or, y'know, we could wait like a day for AOSP sources/firmware image... Pshhhh **** that!)

If you run the automatic updater .bat file in the recovery package then you will lose everything, including your SD files. You can flash the individual .img files (in this case system.img) in order to get that specific partition back to stock.

[Nexus 5 General] motoridersd:
It does if you use the included scripts. If you flash individual files, you can keep your data.

If you have a custom ROM, flash system.img

fasbtoot flash system system.img in the image-hammerhead-krt16m folder.

If you have a custom kernel, flah the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Reboot in recovery and flash the OTA zip file.

Once the patch is installed, you can try putting your custom kernel back, risking running into issues until the kernels are updated.

You can flash the latest SuperSU to gain recovery back.
