any help ^

Probably is not the problem about that "sign" error but next line, out of memory error. Check if there is any storage left. If there is,... What rom do you flash with?
Addition: i had a similar problem and i couldnt instal 4.4.4, i did first install 4.2 amd after that on 4.4.4 and it was successful.

Download the factory image. Extract it. Inside is a zip, extract that too. In there you'll find the cache.img. boot into the bootloader and in a cmd window on the pc use
fastboot flash cache cache.img
If you don't have fastboot set up on the pc Google 15 second adb install xda

You flash the images, then you flash TWRP, then you do a factory reset in TWRP, and install SuperSU (http://download.chainfire.eu/365/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip), and then boot. You'll now have 4.4 Rooted.

You can run the flash all command, or you flash everything separately. Go to efrant's guide on how to do that here on xda. You have now flashed the bootloader succesfully, now you will have to flash the other images as well.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
why don't you install cwm/twrp first? it's a lot easier to flash in my opinion (not if you want to install the image from your computer)
but normally it just takes a few moments/minutes

Hi,
It looks a bad issue... Probably something went wrong and you lost your partition table . Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?

What is the mako all about is that not the code name for the nexus 4 ??
lj50036 nailed it, partition table isn't messed up, it just isn't the same for the mako, which is a good thing your bootloader still runs these checks or you were in for a brick
Be sure to download the manta firmware and try again

What made me confused was about the Bootloader: XXXXXXXXX. It made me think that the partition table was messed up, but it probably is just mako... Download the new firmware and make sure it's manta.

Evidently I have to post here since I don't have enough posts (??).
Anyhow, I upgraded to 5.0.0 via the Toolkit, well attempted to since I guess it's a bad idea if you're on an encrypted FS since it reported corruption and then wipe/reset. So I attempted to do a restore and the Toolkit keeps telling me I'm set to "Any Build" despite being set to 5.0. I tell it the correct one, go through the process again and yet it still Restore mode says it's "Any Build". I don't know if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong since if I set it to 4.4.4 it works fine.
I'm attempting to re-flash 4.4.4 now and will see if I can restore my backup. Total clusterf...
Root Nexus 10 v1.9.4 on Lollipop.
Running Root+custom recovery script. Live log is on, and everything seems to go as it should. When final boot is done SU notifies that binaries need updating, which I accept. Then Device boots into recovery and when it returns to system SU informs that there's no binary installed..!?
Prior to this I rooted my Nexus 5 on Lollipop without issues...

Installing 5.0 through NRT limited my storage to 13.0 GB
I have a 32 GB Nexus 10 and the storage shows up as 13 GB after installing Android 5.0 through the Nexus Root Toolkit. Can someone help me with fixing that?
After you've rooted using the tool kit, message appears that describes your problem pretty well - the solution suggested by wugfresh is to perform a factory reset, IIRC - have you tried this already?
Mas
Mine did the same thing. Factory reset fixed it
13 GB instead of 64 ?

Hashcheck Mismatch
I'm trying to flash the stock firmware to my wife's Nexus 4 so she can receive the 5.0 OTA and install it correctly. The problem I'm encountering with the "flash stock+unroot" button is that the image files always fail the hash check, as do the twrp downloads and the superSU downloads and pretty much any file that this program tries to hash will fail.
I've downloaded the hashcheck shell extension and manually verified every file I've tried to load, they ALL have correct md5sum values when compared to the md5s on the google developer page or the download page at the android filehost website. Is there any way to get around the broken hash checking? My wife is very impatiently awaiting here lollipop upgrade.
Thanks,
Sergio
Hi, i used the tool kit to flash 5.0 on my nexus 10 and i have it running fine but my status bar and soft keys background are black. I noticed in video reviews of 5.0 that they should still be translucent. Any ideas whats up?

Trouble flashing my Nexus 10
Hey guys. I am having trouble with flashing my Nexus 10 tablet back to KitKat (due to frustrating wifi issues) after upgrading to Lollipop using the "official" method.
I had read an article on pcadvisor.co.uk about how to downgrade using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, so I started there. Everything was going well up until the point where I was to install the KitKat image.

After that, I posted a question to the AndroidCentral forums. There, user rhea turned me on to Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit, thinking that it would help solve my problems. Unfortunately, I got pretty much the same errors. I was using the option to install from a soft-brick or bootloop, which sounded like my problem.

Nexus 9 disable force encryption not working woth Nexus Root Toolkit v1.9.9
Hi everyone,
I wanted to disable the forced encryption in my Nexus 9 using the Nexus Root Tolkit v1.9.9. I succesfully installed all the drivers and apparently was able to unlock + root my device. However, when I try to disable the forced encryption the tool somehow isn't successful in flashing the new flashboot, and when the device reboots it is still encrypted.
Did anyone come accross this issue?
Thanks very much for your help!!
Nexus 10 stuck at fastboot
In my attempt to flash the new 5.0.2 update to my Nexus 10 it seems to have correctly wiped the device, but then couldn't finish pushing the new update onto it. As of right now, the device will sit at the screen shown below, and boot to the screen shown below no matter if I move to "Recovery Mode" etc. What do you believe I should do to correctly finish flashing the new update?

Edit: It seems my problem is similar in nature to that of mdhankins 2 posts above.
stuck at "flashing custom recovery to recovery partition"
title says it all, I've got a N7 2013 Flo, android 4.4.2 KOT49H
I used this toolkit with NO problems whatsoever with my grouper, so I'm not sure what to do here, should I force close the tooklit, reboot tablet and start over or will I brick the device?

Brick nexus 4 after flash bootloader

Hello,
I have tried to back on Kitkat on my nexus 4 but after flashing bootloader, my nexus doesn't boot.
Steps I follow :
1 - fastboot oem unlock ==> OK
2 - fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz30d.img ==> OK ?
3 - fastboot reboot-booloader ==> KO, smartphone doesn't boot
I have a black screen. When phone is plugged on AC and I press Power + Volume down for a while (15sec), a red LED blink.
Console output :

Any solution ?

try to flash the factory image as a whole don't flash just bootloader and all flash the whole factory image and then try to boot the device
The problem is that my nexus don't boot, so tools like fastboot don't detect it.
I can't follow the procedure to the end
Where did you get this bootloader, and why were you flashing it? A corrupted bootloader flash means it is pretty much over, without physical hardware intervention (which I'm not sure is even possible on this device), it is impossible to recover your device through software because the bootloader was the last line of defence.

Soft-bricked my phone

FIXED
Hi all! Been a member of XDA for a few years now, but only just had the pleasure of becoming a nexus user. Yesterday I decided to install the Android N preview to try it out, but decided I didn't want it on my phone. So when I got home, I wiped the phone and proceeded to flash the factory image, but no matter which image I flash it, it says "error: update package missing system.img". I have tried manually flashing each file in fastboot as I have seen in many threads, but nothing is working. I have tried restoring old TWRP backups and flashing custom ROMs in TWRP, but nothing is working. Help!

Unzip it yourself and flash em each manually.
Make sure you have the lastest fastboot tools. Im going to go out on a limb and say yours are out of date

It looks like you are not in the directory with the boot.img, et al. (your post shows no boot.img,, ... ) Make sure you unzipped the image. There are 2 files you need to unzip, the one containing the bootloader and radio. In that unzipped folder will be another zip. Unzip that second folder and you'll see the boot.img, cache.img, et al. The change in to that folder from your terminal or move those files into the folder you created (if following Heisenberg's guide), then proceed.

I think you are using an old version of fastboot. Update it and try again. Problem was fastboot couldn't allocate enough system ram to hold the whole image or something. In the newer fastboot the file transfer was broken in to several segments.
Maybe try another USB port too won't hurt.
