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.

i know there's a thread dedicated to it but since i don't meet the post quota, i can't ask in that thread. :crying:
i can't seem to update through the built-in updater. since the author doesn't seem to want to update the latest version for download, the only option to get the latest version is through the built-in updater which can't seem to ever find a server for me.
i can't seem to get my nexus 7 4.1.2 to root. it goes through the motion but when it's done i'm still not root. i was rooted when it was 4.1.1. on system update to 4.1.2, it kept the bootloader unlocked. i don't want to 'reformat' my nexus 7 again using the unlock bootloader option. :silly:
i tried wug's rootkit but it couldn't even finish doing a backup.
Boot into a custom recovery and flash either SuperSU or Superuser. This is completely trivial and is why you shouldn't use toolkits.
crachel - thanks! all i did was download and installed 'voodoo ota rootkeeper v2.0.3' from google play store. it installed something called 'supersu' in my apps list. everything seems to be rooted now. :highfive:
i didn't install a 'custom recovery' or had to flash either 'SuperSU' or 'Superuser.'
Hello All,
I have got the OTA update for 5.1 1 month before, But I am not able to install it, everytime I download the 5.1 after the reboot it gives me error screen.
I have attached the error screen, please guide me how I can install the update.
you need to be 100% factory state in order to install the OTA, just download the image from google and flash via fastboot.
I just got a new Nexus 7 (2013). I did all the OTA updates until I got on the latest 5.1.1 (LMY48G). I was able to unlock bootloader using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. I then tried rooting using the same tool but the process would freeze once it reached the step of temporarily booting TWRP. The window timed out while waiting for device. The tablet did boot to TWRP recovery. However, when I went to reboot to system from TWRP, I got a message saying No OS installed. I was able to reboot back to system despite the message.
At this point, I used Wug's tool to Flash Stock + Unroot. I then tried using CF- Auto Root which worked fine with me. I was now rooted but when flashing to recovery, I got the dead android. I tried downloading TWRP app from Google Store to updated recovery through that method. I did get TWRP flashed but again I still have the No OS Installed message when going to reboot. Finally, I used use Wug's tool to delete TWRP and go back to stock recovery (dead android). Then I tried flashing TWRP through Wug's tool but ended up with same result of getting No OS installed.
Any ideas why I would be getting this message when I am able to reboot back to perfectly working system? Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and been able to get TWRP working correctly?
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 ?
Dear, a system update has appeared today. However, after downloading, it fails. I think it's because of root. Has anyone experienced something like this or is there any solution to install this update (75MB)
Only option is to use mi flash tool for clean installation and take ota update.I tried all possible options to take ota ;but nothing worked for me.Mi flash tool also not working for me.I used 29 fastboot commands to restore my phone.
Hello, did anyone find an option to make an OTA System Update with unlocked Bootloader, TWRP installed, Magisk root installed and Android One 9 running?
Systemupdate always abort after download
