[Nexus 5 General] marcusva79:
Which zip are you using? Twrp is the latest correct?
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
I had updated TWRP to latest. I remembered and figured out, I had sound mod and I did battery mod so wasnt completely stock.

I downloaded Bigxie's 4.4.1 Rom and it installed no problem.

Over in Development section. Works for Stock, Rooted and slightly modified. Just installed over Stock.
[Nexus 5 General] thegr8anand:
Are you using the audio mod? If yes then from the thread flash back the stock settings and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Your logic fundamentally flawed. The vast majority of people who are using this site, are not the types of people who will wait for an OTA, and the number of people who get OTA updates in the first few days has always been an extremely small number. I don't intend for this to be an attack on you, but I'm quite sure you've spent at least an hour or two just in this thread alone. If you would have spent even a small fraction of that amount of time, you would already have the update.

So yeah...load it yourself. Then for the next update, you won't be waiting again.
[Nexus 5 General] AndreaCristiano:
Your post is fundamentally stupid. My point and others here have echoed that if this OTA was released phones would have been receiving it which they are not and they're wouldn't been a need to sideload. So don't comment on my logic if you can't follow common sense
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
This worked perfectly (i didnt update twrp though).

P.S Im also on a mac
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
And yet...I see 2 posts out of 3 in this very same thread are, "I just got the update."
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
^^ This

His post had nothing to do with the ability to get the update from Google...it said that when Google releases an OTA, Nexus devices generally get it within 24 hours. I'd back this up...I've had 4 Nexus devices, and they've all received updates pretty much as soon as they're released. What this says is that Google hasn't pushed the OTA yet...they've just added it to the repository.
[Nexus 5 General] tr1cky1:
Just a warning to all of the users here that use ART:

After flashing OTA I had no more baseband, I had to convert to dalvik first and flash OTA again, before flashing OTA I had to clear cache and dalvik cause it refused to flash.
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
I prob won't get much help here, because I have tried before and it seems like people just skip right over my post..But I am trying to side-load the update and keep getting an error "* cannot read 'update.zip'*". I have searched everywhere and tried everything possible and still no luck.

Would be lovely if someone could provided a fix to this problem :)

I am on a mac btw
[Nexus 5 General] kitch9:
Is Whatsapp fixed under Art?
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Have you tried using custom recovery? And run the update from there
[Nexus 5 General] tlopez1973:
OK just name update and put it in the same Dictionary as adb open up command window type adb reboot recovery when it reboots into recovery right away hit the up volume button and apply update adb sideload now type adb sideload update.zip that should do it
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
I am assuming this is something where you have to root and or unlock the bootloader and I am not about that life..

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Didn't work :(
[Nexus 5 General] bdcrim:
Try just naming the package update, without the zip following. I had that issue. The computer realizes that it is a zip file. Worked for me. When you adb, run adb sideload update.
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
Doesn't work :(
[Nexus 5 General] yyz71:
Ouch!!
[Nexus 5 General] bdcrim:
Did you try to redownload the file? You may have already, didnt read your prior post.
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
Yeah I did..I am just gonna wait for the update lol. I thought this was suppose to be easy.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Just transfer the update file on your phone and run it from the latest twrp recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
I am sure if I had an idea of what that is it would be easy! Thanks tho..
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
TWRP is a custom recovery. If you don't know what that is, I'd recommend doing a lot of reading before you attempt to update your phone manually. There are plenty of threads in these forums to get you started :)
[Nexus 5 General] catnarok:
in 4.4.1, yes
[Nexus 5 General] QWIKSTRIKE:
I had this problem in whindows and after I put the adb reboot recovery in everything was fine until I went back to the command to do the adb sideload update.....When I di this nothing happened, and I got a no device, or cant read erro. I found that when in recovery the device drivers did not load and the device manager showed an exclamation point for the device. I cured tgis by going to let me choose my drivers from a file on this pc, and installed the adb312 driver for the device. When I went to the command line and dragged the file to the adb sideload phrase to the command line the update went through.
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
Thanks...My Macbook is able to detect my device. And I tried dragging and dropping the file like you said but still no luck :(
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Is your boot loader unlocked?
[Nexus 5 General] QWIKSTRIKE:
But did you check your device manager to see if the device drivers were still loaded after you tried installing the files?. If they don't you need to install the adb312 as I posted!
[Nexus 5 General] bdcrim:
Hate to ask this, but did you follow the mac adb command, ./adb sideload update.zip?
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
The speaker definitely seems louder but bt volume is so low now. With headphones on I can't hardly hear voice directions on maps. Its frustrating that they seem to be playing a shell game with the bugs.
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
You have to pair again the headphones.
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
Thank you for the advice but how would that help? I wiped the service so they weren't paired prior to 4.4.1. Have you experienced this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
Oh sorry then, I readed some people having problems with bluetooth volume and they solved it by pairing their devices again.
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I give up :crying: I tried flashing the update with the stock recovery but it was impossible for me to get adb to recognize the nexus 5, I write "adb devices" but the list is empty, I can only fastboot the recognize the nexus 5, I tried using the drivers from the sdk manager, the drivers called"latest usb drivers" and I even let windows 8 and xp do their thing alone without extra drivers, but it still wont show up on adb.

Guess I'm gonna have to keep waiting :mad::crying:

PD: Yes, my bootloader is unlocked
[Nexus 5 General] rajunks:
Yes, I did read, but still confused. Not a noob - flashed a lot until my n4.

Right now on my n5 rooted but stock. I want to wait for the ota to become available automatically.

1. Once I get it I should be able to just update my device without any extra steps, right?

2. Once I update my device, I lose root, correct?

3. After that can I go the adb route to get root again?

4. Any other easier way to preserve the root of to regain the root?

Thanks much!
[Nexus 5 General] augie7107:
I had the same issue, nothing under adb devices. Update still sideloaded, no problem. Try the adb command with the device in recovery mode and connected to PC.
[Nexus 5 General] GunnyHighway82:
I'm shocked the signal is worsened I cannot use my Nexus 5 where usualy use my Gnexus because it cannot keep low signal 3g and go to EDGE

anyone else??
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
I had this issue too but finally managed to get it to work.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Since day 1 i had no issues with the signal on my n5, until today, i had the "no service" moment and had to switch aeroplane mode on/off to get signal back. So far i'm very skeptic about the new radio...
[Nexus 5 General] GunnyHighway82:
we can change radio?
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I have tried adb devices under: Fastboot mode, recovery without pressing a thing on the phone and recovery after pressing "load with adb"...

Could i flash the update using fastboot? because fastboot does recognize my phone ...

What did you do? :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] systemf:
Same issues with recovery mode, mine only recognized when using debug or fastboot on my win8 computer. I uninstalled the drivers from the sdk etc and used the naked drivers. With the naked drivers the nexus5 was recognized by the computer in recovery mode (after hitting load from adb) and side loaded fine.
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
Not sure exactly. Just uninstalled the driver in device manager and kept on trying to install it again and again. At first it was giving me error messages but then it decided to work one time and assign the correct driver to the device. It was using the generic windows MTP driver before that. Weird, as I definitely remember installing the Google ADB driver before, it seems to have uninstalled itself from Windows silently over the past few weeks for some unknown reason. I always find it a struggle to connect the phones over USB ADB. I had same issues with Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
Sorry but I can't believe you. I've owned the Nexus One, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and now the Nexus 5. I know how rollouts work. But if you don't believe me, maybe you will believe a Google Engineer who explained it several weeks ago:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1r1dz4/44_kitkat_has_started_rolling_out_on_the_n4/cdiwt6f

Rollouts start out slow the first few days and ramp up the next few weeks. I've never seen one happen to 100% in 24 hours.
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
I will check all this out tomorrow when I get time..thanks!

I sure did :)
[Nexus 5 General] :
Ram usage decreased a lot. In 4.4 I usually had 1gb or more used, now it got down to half. Same apps.
[Nexus 5 General] MerkurMan:
I haven't had it stuck with no signal, but I noticed the mode switching is much slower than with the old radio. I take an elevator every day, and with 4.4, it would switch from LTE to HSPA almost immediately and seamlessly when the LTE signal got weak. Today, it lost signal completely for about 5 seconds before it switched to HSPA. Also, when I boot it up and the lockscreen first appears, in 4.4 I would already have signal. In 4.4.1, it takes a couple of seconds to lock on. Disappointing.

Signal strength seems to be about the same, if marginally better. I'm getting about -2dbm more in my bedroom, but that could be a variance in weather affecting it.
[Nexus 5 General] v12xke:
+1

Same issue. I reverted to two older versions of Pulse, but no go. Could it be a custom kernel? I'm using Franco r19. This is a drag because I prefer using an older version which won't get fixed. Very odd a minor update would cause something like this.
[Nexus 5 General] lwfb:
It wasn't working properly for me on stock rooted with the stock kernel.

I noticed in the Play Store reviews that more people are experiencing the same issue after updating to 4.4.1.
[Nexus 5 General] Texan1836:
Has anyone else had pretty bad battery life ever since switching to 4.4.1 ? Battery stats is showing my 'Android OS' using up 60% of the battery and my phone drops a percent of battery like every 2 to 3 minutes when before on 4.4 it would drop a percent of battery about every 8-10 minutes
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
Had the same, after restart it worked fine, don't know what was the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] Texan1836:
I rebooted it as well and I think it got a bit better. I'll have to test it from a full charge though to make sure because I'm low on battery.
[Nexus 5 General] GunnyHighway82:
I'm thinking to change phone :(
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
I'm struggling to get the same battery life as I did on 4.4 ..I have no idea why, CPU is running slightly cooler if anything, I've gone through everything over and over and nothing seems wrong. It sleeps like a baby but in use its consuming more battery.
[Nexus 5 General] oifi:
same here. before 1 GB now 450 MB.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Hmmm... Wonder if it's the new chrome flash sandbox that's killing me on battery. Going to check out some other browsers.
[Nexus 5 General] Ketzal:
Same here, got it on Nexus 7 2013. Any ideas what if is?
[Nexus 5 General] rajunks:
Somebody please?
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
If your unlocked just put on a custom recovery if haven't already, have the update.zip on your phone and flash it from there.
[Nexus 5 General] bobby janow:
Windows 8 and 8.1 will not allow you to install drivers unsigned unless you allow it in advanced settings. Please Google it or I'll find you directions later.
[Nexus 5 General] rajunks:
I do have cwm. If I do update from zip I won't lose root?
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Just run the supersu update zip afterwards to make sure, while your in recovery before rebooting.

BTW.. you need to be on a clean stock rom, root is allowed, and stock kernel for the update to run correctly.
[Nexus 5 General] fugn:
Yes you will loose root, you will have to download it again and follow the instructions to install.
[Nexus 5 General] QWIKSTRIKE:
If people are having issues with installing the driver after booting into recovery I did this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2523217&page=29

I have found that when trying to install the update with the sideload command at the command prompt the driver for the Nexus 5 is some how not loading. You will know this as soon as you get a device not found/can't read the software error and checking device manager to see if a yellow excalamtion point is present when this issue arises.

If you have this issue go to the link I posted and do what I posted in red. The problem of weak RF signal be be due to the fail to swipe when answering a call bug. I think that they addressed this issue by somehow reducing hte RF either by default of the fix or on purpose. Other than that the phone is running better for me at the moment even with lower LTE signal inside. In time I will gauge if the NEW RF signal warrants a change!
[Nexus 5 General] rajunks:
Thanks but kind of confused. The poster below this says I'll lose root. You're saying I won't?
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
No I didn't I just said why not just flash the supersu zip afterwards while your in recovery to make sure if your worried about it..
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Strange, this wasn't the case for me.
[Nexus 5 General] 0b095:
hello guys, I've downloaded nexus 4.4.1 update, so I have a 50MB zip file called '7ed504f678cea49ecf0974e8cd956e2974e3f943.signed-hammerhead-KOT49E-from-KRT16M.7ed504f6' what do I do now?

[Nexus 5 General] hbkekko:
question: if i update in this way, when another update will be aviable i have ALWAYS to use this method or i will have the OTA automatic message on the phone?
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
As long as you are stock you can use either method. You can always just wait for the OTA to show up on your phone. Sideloading just helps you get it faster.
[Nexus 5 General] ogboot:
Flashed mine last nite. Have 2 N5s in the household, so I put them side by side to compare 4.4 to the updated device. My phone might take 2 photos to her 1, the camera app speed is much improved, it is very noticeable.

[Nexus 5 General] hmanxx:
Facing same issue.. Pulse get messed up
[Nexus 5 General] h0lyc0w:
Interesting. I'm seeing the same issue with Pulse. Maybe it's having trouble determining the screen size? I've changed my DPI to 445, but I didn't test Pulse before changing it. I'll have to try it at the default setting.
[Nexus 5 General] klauspabst:

Google sucks at rolling out these updates. Still waiting..,,
[Nexus 5 General] gamerZ1:
adopirs Labor

How is the camera quality now and the sound is louder?
[Nexus 5 General] Henrock11:
Could it be possible that Google is aware of some of the bugs users are experiencing with 4.4.1(new radio for example) that they held off on the ota update until it is corrected? Most of the people who have updated has been through sideloading it seems.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
I could see that as a reason to do updates this way. The people who sideload would be better able to go back than the average person who gets a bad OTA. That would give them time to fix whatever is wrong.
[Nexus 5 General] jordan.harris01:
I haven't tested out the camera yet but my notification sounds are now louder and my vibration (which was almost non-existent) is also much stronger now. Very happy with this update so far.
[Nexus 5 General] thas5:
This has likely been said before(not sure, I haven't checked), but you can sideload the update through adb without unlocking the bootloader or being rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] tullnd:
Lol, they just STARTED the release 2 days ago. Wow. Since you weren't in the very small grouping that gets them first(remember...they've just recently openly posted their methodology....something ANYONE WHO HAS WORKED A PROFESSIONAL JOB INVOLVING PRODUCTS WOULD KNOW, that states they start off small and then ramp up to larger batches over a period ranging from 5 days to two weeks, depending on the total volume), you just decide that they suck?

Personally, I think they do quite well. I'm even one of those N4 owners who spent a few days in the dark when Google held off the 4.4 OTA due to some last minute bugs they found, before rolling it out(yes, an update that there was an issue would have been nice, but it sounds like it all happened rather quickly in a matter of days). I still prefer them to stagger the releases like this, in increasing amounts, to gauge the success of the update in the field.
[Nexus 5 General] Plh36:
Yes in my opinion they do. Does it make you feel good about yourself to insult others?
[Nexus 5 General] digiblur:
What's funny is people post they are waiting when they could just take the minute or two and load it themselves. Super easy!

The update is great so far! The radio sucks bad. I have lost signal in a lot of places where I had it before. I rolled back just the modem and everything is back. Looks like I will keep this modem.
[Nexus 5 General] BamAlmighty:
Exactly. Sideloading the OTA is ridiculously easy. Anyone whining about the OTA taking too long to appear need to punch themselves in the face.
[Nexus 5 General] augie7107:
Yes
[Nexus 5 General] VVV850:
How exactly did he insult you?! By educating you about their procedure in rolling out updates and sharing his opinion on why they don't suck?
[Nexus 5 General] rajunks:
Does the ota update the radio also?
[Nexus 5 General] coolguy949:
Yes, and it's worse than before. Signal drop across the board for me.
[Nexus 5 General] GldRush98:
I haven't seen any signal issues here.
[Nexus 5 General] Stay Frosty:
Probably been asked a million times but will the OTA work on a rooted/unlocked phone?
[Nexus 5 General] toyfreak:
This is exactly how I got 4.4.1 on my Nexus 5 but I'm on Windows 7. The naked drivers worked; the SDK drivers did not.
[Nexus 5 General] t.h.i:
The ota will work on rooted and unlock phon.no mods!!!!!!
[Nexus 5 General] jordan.harris01:
Rooted, no. You'll need to flash back to stock.

Unlocked bootloader, yes, that won't stop the OTA or the sideloading of it.
[Nexus 5 General] GldRush98:
Wrong.

It'll work perfect fine on a rooted device if that is all you have modified on it. It'll undo the root access, but it'll update just fine.
[Nexus 5 General] detdett:
Considering you didn't remove any system apps, you should be fine
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
It flashed just fine on my rooted, unlocked phone using TWRP. As long as you're running the stock kernel and haven't changed anything in the /system folder, you're golden.

Mmmmm I dont remember this working on 4.4. Using Google Now "listen to (artist name)" before it would just launch the google player and sit there.
