Please read here in the developer Google+ page. Seems to be the updater had some problems in past versions of the NRT:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/113329792100896065459/posts/FUohFJWJHzt

Now I've downloaded the new 1.9.6 version and the error is yet here. I've tried in my laptop (Windows7 with the same ESET NOD32 antivirus) and all works fine. I've made a backup of my XP computer, then uninstalled the Kerio firewall and the problem persists. I've recovered an old backup of my system (early 2014, when I purchased my Nexus5) and all works fine again with NRT version 1.8.0. If I

don't update

the main program at the request window, the updater works for the other related files (TRWP Recovery, SuperSU...).

Maybe the new updater has a problem

only

under Windows XP?

Thanks!

I was using 1.9.4 and everything was working just fine. I have already read about the updater fix in 1.9.6 but I didn't notice anything because there was nothing wrong in the first place with me. Keep in mind that 1.9.7 is out that has more fixes with the updater. Try it out to see if anything changes...

Uninstall, download the new version and do a clean install.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekminal:
I've tried it. Also with another install path. Failed.

I only have two reasons for this issue:

- the actual updater is not working good under WindowsXP.

- some of the last XP patches (April 2014) is blocking the updater.

Don't worry, I will work with my Win7 laptop from now on. ;)

Have done this. The phone/script fails during the "erasing cache" part of the script. Every time. I can type the code "erase cache" on it's own, but during flashing nothing works. The phone freezes and I need to do a hard reset. If I run "fastboot erase cache" after the reset the phone will then boot into the andoid updating graphic. During this if I push VOL/UP the script at the bottom says "/formatting/data" and stays that way forever.

Is there some master reset I can do on the phone so that I can go back to step 1 and start again? I feel that with all the fixes I've tried to do something somewhere has stuffed up and I can't get past this crappy point.

I have rooted my Nexus 5 after getting Android L on my device. But after root it doesn't work like root. Many applications are not working.

re: Toolkit v1.9.8 - Lollipop upgrade on existing rooted Nex5

props to the Wug Master for assiduously perfecting such a thoughtfully documented process - but:

Do I need to go thru the rooting steps if already rooted? Just need to upgrade to Lollipop since am locked out of OTA.

Is there a shortcut that bypasses the rooting procedure? Am fairly code savvy but never used a rooting toolset before.

Uninstaller

Cause the updater of 1.9.4 doesn't work, I wanted to uninstall it before installing the 1.9.8. Cause there was no entry in system settings -> Software (where you can see all your installed software), I uninstalled it with the uninstaller.exe. When uninstalling it, I'm getting this message:

"Line 3428 (File "C:\Program FIles (x86)/Wugfresh Development\Uninstall_NRT.exe").

Error: Variable used without being declared.

All files are still in the folder after the error. I didn't uninstall the adb/fastboot drivers.

Can I now just delete it manually and install the 1.9.8.?

I couldn't find this type of error with the search-help. Thanks!

If you're rooted but but still have the stock recovery and haven't altered any system files you can simply sideload the OTA. That's what I did. Then you will have to root again after the 5.0 OTA if you still need root.

TWRP for Nexus 5

Note to the developer: the Nexus Root Toolkit (v 1.9.8) is not installing the latest TWRP recovery, which is 2.8.2.0. This is a problem because the one that is being installed, 2.8.1.0 has a bug that does not recognize the decryption password for an encrypted Nexus 5 with Lollipop installed. I had to manually download the current version and place it in the NRT folder. The latest TWRP solves the encryption problem.

cannot root nexus 5 after installing LRXC22 via Wug's toolkit

when I try to root it ends up at the TRW screen where it asks me for a password which I do not have - nor did I expect this question (I had chosen force flash mode as to keep all data... which worked fine before and with nexus 7 update and root). Only option was to cancel.... so no root ... can anybody help??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
Wug, I've asked this before and didn't get a response so I'm going to be a pain and ask again because I really think this is important to a lot of people. We all know now that post 5.0 you have to revert to stock to get any OTAs. This is a lot of work for many people and lots of opportunities to break something. I believe it will seriously discourage many of your kit users from rooting at all, maybe a majority?

Would you consider coding a one-step process to return people to stock, apply the OTA, and optionally re-root and custom recovery? I believe it would be a tremendous draw for the kit.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Rooting is not the best option for a device not sleeping. You have a problem with your apps.

As for rooting, its easy. Unlock bootloader, fastboot flash TWRP recovery then flash SuperSU 2.4 Beta from recovery. You don't need a toolkit for that.

Just go to general > sticky roll up and read "adb and fastboot. What is it?" Thread.

Your bootloader is locked. You'll need to unlock it. Doing so well wipe your device so backup first. See this on how to return to stock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53439068
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djidane57:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Off course.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Unlock your bootloader with fastboot, and then flash a system image with fastboot as well. I know this is the QA thread for the toolkit but I will say what I keep saying to everyone- stop using toolkits. I don't think anyone should be rooting/ROMing/modding their devices if they don't know how to use fastboot. If you rely only on toolkits, you'll have no idea what to do if a problem arises, and your current situation is a prime example. Knowing that your bootloader needs to be unlocked is Android 101 but you skipped that course because of your reliance on toolkits. Fastboot isn't nearly as hard to use as it seems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Also stop using Windows, get back to DOS, perhaps?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djidane57:
I should have read this before unlocking the bootloader , now i'm stuck in a bootloop , i can access to the recovery but even wiping everything doesn't help
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Ha, clever! Not quite the same thing though. I just don't think people should be jumping in the deep end before they learn to swim. There are so many "help! I bricked my phone!" threads from toolkit users that could have been avoided had those users taken the time to actually learn what they are doing. Toolkits are fine to use if you already know fastboot and are just lazy, but if you have no clue what you are doing, then you shouldn't be modding your phone.

If you can access the bootloader then flash a system image with fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:
Actually I understand what you and other good fellas here mean, when you say, that its better to not use toolkits. I think, that the main problem is because people are not aware, that when they go here at XDA forum and start, without understanding, to root, change kernel or install custom ROM, they are doing something, that is beyond purpose of ordinary user. They should know, that this forum is not in domain of manufacturers of phones, but the people who has knowledge and time to go further with their needs and expectations.

For example: when I bought my first PC back in 1994 I also took a book "Windows and PC for dummies" in my hand and read it. My wife never wan't to read this book and after 20 years she is using PC, she still don't understand some basic things about PCs. I don't want to say that I'm proffesional, but I know enough, that when it comes to change something in registry, my bells start ringing.

In my humble view there is nothing, but really nothing wrong with toolkits. Problems stays on users and that's it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I agree with you, the problem is not with the toolkits themselves. The problem is with the people (noobs) who rely on toolkits because they don't know how to do anything manually. If you are fluent in fastboot and the modding side of Android in general then by all means, use whatever toolkit you want, they can be super convenient. But if you don't know how to root or mod your phone, and don't know how to use fastboot, learn that stuff first before you use a toolkit.

error: cannot load 'system.img' Lollipop Flash - Nexus 5

I really, really need help! Please! My Nexus 5 is basically a paperweight that says google on it. I can get to bootloader. obviously can't change any setting in the phone (at least I don't know how to).

Tried to flash my Nexus 5 back to stock using images straight from google. I can not for the life of me get it to flash they system.img file.

I've tried NRT, I've tried straight adb. Seems to be able to flash everything except the system.img

I get the error:

target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes

error: cannot load 'system.img'

I've factory reset, I've even tried flashing a custom recovery partition. Nothing seems to want to allow the system to be flashed.

I do have root and unlocked bootloader. I installed SuperSU at some point in time and I'm fairly certain that Nexus Root Toolkit put it back on there as well.

I've searched most of the forums, I've reinstalled the bootloader and drivers. I've reboot computer, I've changed computers, I've uninstalled all the drivers, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions that I can try? please!

I am very new to this, I understand the flashing, etc. I don't understand the commands for recovery boot, etc. So if there are files or something or commands that need to be done, please let me know.

I spent 12 hours on this yesterday... my understanding is that this should take about 30 minutes....

1. Download Google factory image of your choise.

2. Move/Copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data\Factory_Images

3. Run Nexus Wugfresh Toolkit

4. Select right model and existing version of android on phone

5. Leave NRT to download all initial files

6. Put the phone to bootloader and connect to PC

7. In NRT select "Flash stock + unroot" and tick "Soft-Bricked-Bootloop".

8. Select "Other/Browse..." and "I downloaded image myself". No need to force mode and wipe data.

9. Point to C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data\Factory_Images

10. Wait NRT to extract and flash.

11. Report here.

Wug's is doing the same thing.

It gets to the system.img flash and has the same 'error', It probably sits for about 10 seconds and then moves on (it seems to skip it) and goes on. That file is huge but no where near the "max size".

The phone then tries to reboot and sits on the google logo, no animations.
