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.

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 ?

Help on how to root my j500m

The problem is this:
I want to root my j500m with magisk via twrp but I would like to know if I can root with my version of android 5.1.1 if there is no problem, or I have to upgrade to 6.0.1 to do the process?
Another thing, that when I install the twrp on my device with android 5.1.1 loads everything well but at the time of powering it clears the operating system of the phone and does not turn on completely, it only stays in the samsung logo and I have to flash the rom of stock to solve it but the recovery returns to stock. The version of the recovery that was installed was 3.0.0-0. I would like to know if it is because I am doing it with android lollipop and I should do it in marshmallow or no matter what version of android you have. Thank you.

use this twrp.and first install Magik apk and flash lastest magisk. zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-recovery-pro-galaxy-j5-2015-t3728264
And there's no need to update to Android 6 for root

Thanks, but now I have another problem, I just wrote it in the last message of the forum, if you could help me.

Your twrp version is old 3.0.0.0
download this version 3.1.1.1 official
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j5lte/twrp-3.1.1-1-j5lte.img.tar
and flash use odin.

Thanks friend, I have updated to marshmallow and I have installed the recovery 3.2.1-1 with aroma support, and I have rooted with magisk, now everything is fine.
