Struggling to Update - Help Needed

So my son's 2012 Nexus 7 (32 GB Wi-Fi) is struggling to update. I was checking to see if he got the 5.0 update and noticed he's still on 4.4.2. When I tried to update to 4.4.3 it won't reboot and install the update.
I then tried to sideload the update and it failed due to some certificate issue. Maybe because it's unlocked? I then rooted it again (lost it after the last update apparently) and also installed TWRP. I was going to attempt to sideload from within TWRP but adb doesn't see the device in sideload mode for me for some reason.
Bottom line... Can I just flash the OTA zip file like any other file within TWRP? If not, does anyone have any over ideas of what I can do to update this this without wiping it clean?

I think you will have to flash the 5.0 and images using fastboot. Can you get into ap fastboot mode?

before that though, and to answer your questions:
- unlocked bootloader does not cause issues
- I've used twrp to flash all of the KitKat ota updates directly. simply put the update zip in the internal storage of the device (I always put it in sdcard0/) and flash. the only reason that would fail with KitKat is if you have xposed installed, which was fixed by flashing xposed Disabler zip first. I don't think having root mattered.
- for the lollipop update flashing from twrp didn't work for me. I had to first return 4.4.4 to stock system and recovery (by flashing the system.img and recovery.img files from stock 4.4.4) then adb sideload 5.0 ota update. In your case tho you'd have just updated to 4.4.4 so you can just go straight to sideloading.
All the ota update links are in the second sticky in the general section. make sure you follow the correct to:from build numbers.
I'd prefer this longer route of ota updates, but if nothing works then you can probably just flash system, recovery, and boot directly from the lollipop firmware, and leave userdata untouched. I'd also Not flash the bootloader, as it's reported to have issues.

Update to 5.1.1 on a rooted Nexus 7

I have rooted my Nexus and it is running on 5.1.0. I would like to flash the 5.1.1 via an OTA which I have received on my device. When I try to install it, the device reboots and I get a "Installing software update" message followed by an error. I would like to know how to install this OTA update without wiping the device. A method is suggested in https://www.aaronhastings.me/updating-to-android-5-1-0-on-rooted-nexus-5/ I would like to know how to use it on Windows.

Works on windows, too. You need to install the usb drivers, the sdk and then you use that tutorial for updating to 5.1.1.

Getting Error Installing Android MM from LP Using ADB SideLoad

I am trying to install Firmware of Marshmallow from Lollipop through ADB sideload and i am getting error saying it cannot be done. I tried flashing CM13 latest version and it also giving error. I think Apr 25th 2016 onwards upgrading from Lollipop to MM need New recovery of MM or TWRP. Now its not working with Apr4th version 3.0.2 TWRP. Anybody please help me....
I think if i get stock recovery file of Marshmallow, it will solve this problem. Anyone who are upgraded to MM though OTA update, please provide me your recovery.img and boot.img files. Thanks for viewing this thread.

Android 6.0 Update TWRP Kicks In

Hi,
I'm using HTC ONE M9+, today finally HTC released 6.0 Update for M9+,my hpne downloading update without any problem when i click to Install Now it says Rebooting and after reboot TWRP Kicks in and does nothing.Is there any way to disable TWRP to install this new update ?

Flash back the corresponding "stock" recovery.
You must also have an unmodified system to apply the OTA successfully.

i've flashed "recovery_verified.img__TW_1.90.709.3" now TWRp disabled but during update (at %23) it says OTA failed, my OTA is TW, according to error message i need europe's OTA which i couldn't find on internet

i actually have the same issue i have tried copying the ota and tried flashing through adb but it shows that error executing updater binary zip file and errror flashing the device
im running L 5.0.1 and want to update to m 6.0.1 through ota
i have unlocked bootloader but s-on .how to flash the otp? thanks in advance

MIracles happen! Is there anyone that have already made the update and can tell if the sense it's still there or if HTC have removed everything like in the HTC 10?

i think i can update my phone to 6.0 if i can find Europe OTA, i've searched everywhere but i couldn't find it

even i have downloaded the update but cant install as i have system partition modified...i ve searched for a ruu or stock rom but couldnt find anywhere...however i do have the Indian OTA update.

did anyone managed to install 6.0 update yet ?

those are for local upgrade in system update turn off all magisk mods reboot then do upgrade or youll have problems then you get fastboot 10 rom to fix after you updated
