Now that the bootloader is unlocked, everyone is asking "WTF do I do now?". Well, here's a bit of help to get you started. I'm assuming you already have adb and fastboot setup and working -- if not, quit reading and get that taken care of. Also, I only run Linux...so I'll try to be transparent and only list the fastboot commands.
I assume that you're not a complete moron and can Google what you don't understand.
Don't use the stock\SDK fastboot binary for flashing /system.
An updated fastboot binary for Lin\Win\Mac can be found here on the Batakang FTP from our local, neighborhood Mattlgroff.
Linux -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and add it to a directory in your $PATH -- Ubuntu\Debian users can just add it to ~/bin (enabled by default)
Windows -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and put it somewhere handy...that's on you to decide.
ROOT\ADMINISTRATOR INFO
On Linux, you might have to run as root in order to run some of the fastboot commands. If your system uses sudo for root commands, typing "sudo -i" will bring up an interactive sudo shell so you don't have to type sudo over and over again. If your system uses su for root, well, you already know the command.
On Windows, you have to enable Administrator Privileges to be able to run some of the fastboot commands.
Linux Terminal Hints
~/ means your home directory -- example -- "gedit ~/Documents/file.txt" would open file.txt in gedit easier than /home/yourusername/Documents/file.txt
You can add a * to file names and directories to not type as much -- example -- "gedit ~/Doc*/file.txt" is the same as the command above, only shortened. If two files have similar names, like Documents and Downloads, then you have to type the name up until the firs different character then add *.
Use the command "../" to go up\back one directory. The command is stackable so "../../" would go back 2 directories and so forth and so on.
Use "cd" to change directories. Is an example really needed for this...
Proper Apps to Use
For zip file editing, use 7-zip on Windows and Archive Manager (file-roller) on Linux
For editing text files on Windows use Notepad++ or any text editor that has unix line breaks -- do not use default Notepad or Wordpad -- you've been warned. Use what ever you prefer on Linux. I prefer Gedit myself.
Basic Fastboot Command Syntax
fastboot flash "partition" "image" -- flashes partition image where partition is where to write to and image is the path to the image being written.
example -- fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img
fastboot -w -- does a factory reset; to expedite things, "-w" can be added to "fastboot flash system system.img -w"
fastboot continue -- continue with the boot process
fastboot devices -- list devices fastboot recoginzes
fastboot -s "device model number" -- set the device fastboot will write commands to; use "fastboot devices" to find model number
fastboot reboot bootloader -- reboot phone into fastboot mode (or restart fastboot mode while in fastboot); same as "adb reboot bootloader"
fastboot help -- list all of this & more
Command Info
Not all the fastboot commands work for us. Specifically, the "erase" commands. If a wipe command doesn't work, skip it. I'll mark them with a ! at the end if it might fail.
Install CWM Recovery by Epinter
Read Epinter's RAZR HD CWM Thread
Download the recovery image
On stock rom, navigate to /system/etc and rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
Reboot into fastboot -- use "adb reboot bootloader" from Terminal\Command Prompt
Wipe the existing recovery -- "fastboot erase recovery" !
Flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img"
That's it, CWM is installed.

Obtain root after installing a Stock Firmware
There are two choices for obtaining root after a stock flash. the closed source SuperSu by Chainfire & and the open source Superuser by Koush.
Download SuperSu zip from Chainfire (Closed Source)
Download Superuser from Koush (Open Source)
Download the one of the root zips above.
Reboot into CWM/TWRP -- adb reboot recovery
Locate and flash the zip (see below for an alternative way)
Reboot, that's it. Nice not having to run exploits\hacks\Linux just for root
Install Rom/Zip file with ADB + CWM
CWM has the awesome ability to install zip files without having to manually copy them to the phone first. All's necessary is a PC with working adb.
Reboot into recovery
Select "install zip from sideload"
On PC, type "adb sideload /path/to/zip" and press enter
The zip will now be copied to the phone's cache & install
Once installed, do any requirements you'd normally do like wipe caches, etc
I have done this numerous times and it still will not boot into recovery. I have read and followed epinter, yours, official cwm, and other various Google found instructions (none of them functionally different) and still the same result. It recognizes the phone, writes, completes, then if I reboot and select recovery it goes to the android with the open chest cover with the exclamation point....
Any ideas how I could be screwing this up?

Unless you're not rooted with an unlocked BL, there's really no reason why it shouldn't work?

same here.
I have the same problem. I was able to flash cwm, uninstall the SS recovery, and uninstall the app. The first time I got the dead android symbol. I restored SS via Titanium Backup, reinstalled the SS recovery, and flashed cwm again. I tried rebooting into recovery and was able to get cwm working. As soon I uninstalled SS and rebooted, I got another dead android.
probably because were all on the XT926 if we were to revert back to XT925 then the recovery should work otherwise we will have to tweak the recovery to get it to work properly witht the XT926 software awesome thing is we can now free up the space that SS used for a rom slot however for noobs you might wana stick with SS once you hardbrick without anything to go back too it will be game over for your phone and then you have to con ATT for another

I installed MR via fastboot and just now got it booting. I made the mistake of using the SDK fastboot to flash /system.

You won't lose root
And with an unlocked bootloader, all you gotta do is flash an updater zip with the su binary and app for Stock roms that don't have root
I'll link to a root zip in the op once I find one (or just make it; depends on how quick I find it in a search)

is there a point to flash a different firmware? is it required by any means?
I had SS and was backed up, I booted up the "stock ROM" and was successful in unlocking the BL and flashing CWM. I made a new backup of the stock ROM and restored it with success in CWM. In the video it show he has MR , but im confused as to why.
Also, I cant seem to get rid of safestrap....how in the hell do you uninstall it???
*I'm not responsible for anything you do with this. I'm just trying to contribute back to the community*
Prerequisites
1. YOU MUST BE ON THE FACTORY IMAGE (NO MODIFICATIONS that means no custom recovery, kernels, radios, etc)
**User Impo5sible says its possible with custom recovery and kernels I'm not 100% sure so YMMV*** *ANOTHER EDIT - USERS REPORT GETTING STUCK ON NEXUS LOGO if you have a custom rom/kernel and not using the -w command to wipe DATA)
2. YOU MUST HAVE ADB & USB Driver for the device (I used the SDK file from google and PDAnet)
SDK /w adb & fastboot Link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
PDAnet Link:http://pdanet.co/
3. ENABLE USB Debugging via Developer settings
(press the build button 7 times to activate it the "settings --> about phone --> Build Number --> go back --> Developer Settings --> Check USB Debugging)
4. Android 4.3 Image can be obtained from Google
Image Link: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
When you have all of this installed... you may proceed
Step 1: Use 7zip or compression program equivalent to extract the stock image file that is .TGZ
Step 2: You should see a stock image file that is .TAR...extract this once again with any compression program (you should see a butt load of flash files)
Step 3: Plug your device in the computer (USB debugging should be enabled & I recommend switching the transfer type to PTP/Camera)
Step 4: Launch command prompt (start --> run --> "cmd")
Step 5: type in command prompt "cd directory where you have the adb & fast boot"
for example here is mine "cd C:\Users\MC704\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130717\sdk\platform-tools"
Step 6: Verify that it is detecting your device by typing in command prompt "adb devices" (YOU SHOULD SEE YOUR DEVICE HERE ) if not recheck usb debugging & camera ptp... unplug and replug the phone back into your comp
**take a breather we are almost done**
Step 7: Turn your device off and go into fastboot mode (Hold Power Button + Volume Up & Down)
Step 8: Unlock your bootloader by typing in command prompt "fastboot oem unlock" [THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA]
It will prompt you to unlock the Device
Step 9: Remember all those files you extracted from the ".TAR"? Copy them to the same folder where your adb and fastboot files are
Step 10: ****************VERY IMPORTANT************* DO THIS IN ORDER
I got these commands from the flash-all.sh file
Type in the command prompt each step one at a time and wait for it to complete
"fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot -w update image-occam-jwr66v.zip"
***NOTES FOR THIS STEP***
*REMOVE the -w from the last step if you want to keep your data (assuming your bootloader was already unlocked)*
***User chrisjcks noted you can use the flash-all.bat file that was in the zip to make life easier***
Step 11: Enjoy! If you do not plan on putting any custom roms or rooting etc. I recommend rebooting into fastboot mode (Hold Power Button + Volume Up & Down) when the phone is unlocked and type in the command prompt "fastboot oem lock" (you have to have USB debugging & PTP camera enabled)
If I missed out on any steps, please do let me know I will update the OP.

or you could just unzip it, and double click the Flash All bat file. :laugh:
My bootloader is already unlocked so I would skip step 8. In this case, would it still wipe all of my data since this is not an OTA or will it just upgrade my OS leaving the apps/data/etc intact? I've done this process many times before with the factory images, but I thought it always wiped the system.

There are always exceptions but I'll note that in the OP for people to see. I'd wrote the guide with the intention of a no failure rate or possible errors.
mc704 - in most cases that would be true - but the Flash-All.bat file is inside the ROM itself.
its as safe as you can get.
I'm on stock 4.2.2, but with custom recovery and kernel.
If I want to get those back to stock, can I just connect my device in fastboot mode, go to command prompt and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
?
I have the JDQ39 factory image, and will make sure everything is in the right directory.

Who would like to remove root?
And to summarize:
If someone has stock rom, rooted, with custom kernel, all he has to to do in order not to lose his data and rooting is to flash everything except: system.img and userdata.img?
After that, he will have the update with all data still available?

what should i do
checked it has to be 84 but what about opengl es
Preamble
As the title suggests, I had a Nexus 5 running stock Android 5.0, with root and TWRP, and wanted to update to Android 5.0.1 (without losing all my data, of course). I couldn't find any guides for my particular circumstances, so after working out how to do it myself, I thought I'd share my method.
Note: This guide is not for the uninitiated. Be prepared to Google something for yourself if you don't understand it.
Prerequisites
Before starting this guide, you should have:
A Nexus 5 that running stock Android. The presence of root/Xposed/custom recovery (maybe custom kernels?) shouldn't be relevant, but I can't vouch for the efficacy of this guide if you've done something obscure to your install.
Android SDK tools, specifically the ADB and fastboot binaries. Additional USB drivers may be required on Windows.
The factory image for the Android version you are currently running.
1. Uninstall root and other /system modifications
If you have rooted your Android, and/or installed BusyBox, Xposed or other modifications to /system, you will need to uninstall these modifications. Failing to do so will cause the OTA to complain that there's something funky going on in your /system partition.
You may be able to manually uninstall each of these modifications, but this was not enough for my install – doing a ‘Full unroot’ in SuperSU still left behind files in /system. The easiest way to uninstall all /system modifications is to reflash the /system partition.
Extract the Nexus 5 factory image (e.g. hammerhead-lrx21o-factory-01315e08.tgz), yielding a directory with files such as flash-all.bat and image-hammerhead-XXXXXX.zip. Do not use the flash-all script, as this will unnecessarily wipe all data on the device.
Extract the image-hammerhead-XXXXXX.zip file, specifically the system.img file.
Open a command prompt/terminal window.
Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable.
Boot the phone into the bootloader.
Method 1: Power down the phone, then hold VolUp + VolDn + Power until the phone boots into the bootloader.
Method 2: From the terminal, run adb reboot bootloader while the phone is still powered on.
From the terminal, run fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img.
2. Uninstall any custom recovery
Custom recoveries don't seem to support OTA updates, making it necessary to uninstall the custom recovery by reflashing the stock recovery.
Extract the recovery.img file from the factory image, as in Part 1.
Open a command prompt/terminal window, connect the phone to the computer, and boot into the bootloader, as in Part 1.
From the terminal, run fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img.
Optional: Reflash boot.img and/or cache.img
Some users have reported that reflashing system.img was not sufficient, and that reflashing boot.img and/or cache.img was also necessary. I did not have this problem, but if you do:
Extract the boot.img and/or cache.img files from the factory image, as in Part 1.
Open a command prompt/terminal window, connect the phone to the computer, and boot into the bootloader, as in Part 1.
From the terminal, run fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img.
From the terminal, run fastboot flash cache /path/to/cache.img.
3. Apply the OTA update
The simple part. In the bootloader, use the VolUp/VolDn buttons to select ‘Start’, then press the Power button, to reboot into Android. Follow the system update instructions to install the OTA update.
4. Reflash the custom recovery and re-root
Also self-explanatory.
Hey,
I just wanted to say thanks. This totally fixed the problem I was having. I also want to add that after I flashed the system.img, I was getting errors related to "EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" with a bunch of numbers after. I googled it and found I had to also flash boot.img, and after that, the OTA worked fine. I would assume if anyone else gets errors like this, they should flash whatever img it shows in the error (ie: mine said /by-name/boot so I flashed boot.img).
-BGM
It worked for me
I've always been using a toolkit for my rooting purposes, I have done Full Unroot on SuperSU, but still getting an error when trying to update to 5.0.1
Will flashing stock wipe everything(whatsapp image, camera's,messages, etc etc)on my phone?

I also had problems using ‘Full Unroot’ in SuperSU. It's not actually as ‘full’ as it sounds.
Flashing a full factory image would normally wipe everything, but carefully following this guide will only reset the /system partition, not any user data.
I'd like to say thank you very much! I was looking for this kind of tutorial... I encountered an error while following all the steps because I forgot I had a custom kernel. So I wanted to add that if you have a custom kernel remember to do the same steps as described above for the kernel (return to stock) and then follow the system and recovery steps afterwards.
If you don't like running commands in terminal you can use Nexus Root Toolkit, on advanced, you have all the commands you need available.
Thank you very much RunasSudo

If you don't like running commands in terminal you can use Nexus Root Toolkit, on advanced, you have all the commands you need available.
Thank you very much RunasSudo

I have my ADB and Fastboot ok as confirmed by nexus root toolkit, but I am not sure on how to use terminal.. I launched command prompt but it doest recognise all the commands..
Tried Flash Stock + Unroot on Nexus Root Toolkit but the software will crash (fastboot.exe has stopped responding)
I am really clueless on what to do next..

Flash Stock + Unroot wipes everything and defeats the purpose of the tutorial made by RunasSudo
First and foremost you should download Android SDK (Tools only) on http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and then ask to install the extra: Google USB Driver.
With Nexus Root Toolkit you don't need terminal, click on advanced and you should see options to flash through fastboot the system only, recovery and kernel. It is pretty straighforward and it asks where the .img are in your computer
Thanks! This guide worked.
For Ubuntu users, you need to install adb and fastboot with these commands :
sudo add-apt-repository ppahablet-team/tools && sudo apt-get update (optional)
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Thanks for the great step by step.
As with some of the other posters, re-flashing system.img was not enough for me, I had to also re-flash the boot.img. Once that was done, I had no problems side loading the update and am now running LRX22C.
I only seem to fiddle with adb once a year - when it OTA time comes - and can never seem to remember some of the steps that need to be taken. Reading through some of the other threads, I have a feeling a lot of people who rooted/custom recovery and cant do the OTA are going to be doing complete image re-flashes when this guide makes that completely unecessary.
thanks again,

Thanks for the feedback! I've added a note about boot.img to the OP.
+1 for flashing boot.img worked perfect after I did that.
I tried with this tutorial. I flashed system and recovery and then restart. Confirm OTA but I get ERROR.
Then I flashed boot as it was described. Now I don't get OTA In About phone, I'm still on 5.0.0, Check for updates now don't find update
Any idea?
UPDATE - UPDATE: After hour now it is here ... super, it works.
This walkthrough was most helpful! Ended up replacing the boot.img as well since I had ElementalX installed. My apps are optimizing as we speak. Thank you!
Worked for me. What a hassle!
Here is a summary of the process for those looking for a less wordy procedure, with a few added steps:
Download Nexus 5 5.0 (LRX21O) file (note: NOT 5.0.1 yet) https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Unzip via 7-zip multiple times in order to get boot.img, recovery.img, system.img
Enable USB debugging: http://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode-on-android-5-lollipop.htm
Plug phone into PC > cmd prompt where adb is installed > type "adb devices" to ensure connection is valid (will need to authorize via popup on phone > then "adb devices" should return your device id and "device"; if it says "unauthorized" then look for the popup on your phone)
adb reboot bootloader
Put system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img in same folder as fastboot.exe
Run commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache (this is optional. I didn't have to do it, but you might)
Use Volume Up/Down to select Start > press Power Button to reboot
Update via Settings > About Phone > System Update
Re-flash TWRP recovery:

Loading problem
I flashed system, recovery & boot images strictly following the instructions, restarted the phone. It got stuck in loading where balls in four colors keep running for half an hour. Shall I keep waiting? I think there must be something wrong. Your advises are welcome.

Try flash the partitions again. If it's still not working, you may need to reflash a factory image.

Hey,
I enrolled to the Android Nougat program and rooted my phone (chainfire) a few days ago. Decided to un-root (using superSU), and it said I was unrooted. After doing the un-rooting, the OEM unlock-option was greyed out (and on OFF setting), but the phone recovery says it's unlocked api 3.... I pretty much just wanted to unenroll and go back to MM. Every time I choose unroll from Google, download the MM OTA and it reboots I get an error. Just an image of android with message "ERROR". The only way to get the phone working is to do a hard reset and go back to Nougat.
Not quite sure what is wrong here. Any suggestions?
It's probably because the SuperSU unroot hasn't cleaned up everything that the MM installer checks for. Your best bet is to use the sideload OTA here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
to install MM again. It's quick and easy, and doesn't touch your data.
Since you received the actual uninstall OTA you must have successfully unenrolled, so you should be ok from now on.

I received the OTA but while installing MM it gives me an error, so I have to go back to Nougat every time. I've tried the unenroll option several times and it gives me the same "error" every time. So, I should try manually flashing MM, then?
UPDATE:
I tried the following:
Downloaded and tried to sideload 6.0.1 (MOB30W) to my Nexus 6-device. It got up to 46% and after it gave me and error saying:
WARNING: No file_contexts. This package is for shamu devices; this is a "".
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted.
UPDATE2:
Tried another package. Didn't work. All the OTA updates stop at 46% giving me the same error. Device remains unlocked, but appears not to be rooted. Still stuck on Nougat.
What does "Tried another package" mean?
It may be that your download was corrupt. I always check the SHA with this checksum utility:
http://download.cnet.com/MD5-SHA-Checksum-Utility/3000-2092_4-10911445.html
though I've read in the instructions that the Android installation itself checks the package - it may be this error that the installation is reporting.

No, the checksum is fine. The package is fine. I mean I tried several OTA packages for N6 and it always stops at 46%. There's something else going on here. Maybe if I re-root with chainfire and the use another method to unroot it? Which is the correct method, I have no idea?
Factory reset, and try sideloading MOB30W again.

My suggestion is to go back to Android N, root with SuperSU and see if your OEM UNLOCK toggle in Developer Options is working again and not greyed out. Then I would fastboot flash back to MM and install TWRP and SuperSu.

Dude, just flash the system image you want. Forget about the OTA
The OTA is a system image.

You could say the new full otas are, but you can't go flashing them freely over newer images.
The unenroll option resets the phone anyways, so the best and aparently the only option for him is to flash the system image he wants from scratch.

Well my friend I have no idea since I'm on Windows. Google how to use adb and fastboot on ubuntu, there should be a solution for you.
This is a script that I used to run before the full OTAs became available. It worked many times for me, but the usual caveat - you follow it at your own risk. You can probably skip the backup step in your situation.
Preparation.
- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.
- Download factory image and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash radio radio.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system system.img

One thing is the OTA image, and another is the Factory Image.
Download the factory image from here.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
Unzip everything and you should get all the files needed. As I said before, you would need to have a computer with adb and fastboot installed.

Just be sure to have selected "oem unlocking" in the developer options, make a backup (everything will be wiped), and start flashing!. There are several guides everywhere.
Hello guys, ive been generally lucky in the sense that i have had no issues...until now.
I have tried installing the most recent updates (7.0, and now 7.1.1) and i continue to get this error through cmd. It does not seem to want to flash anything, and i have gotten it to flash, root, and twrp, but it still acted funky. Today, trying to remedy the situation, i attempted to flash the new 7.1.1 update, and return to stock (to later return to power user) but it is still doing it.
It says Bootloader: has-slot (not found), and a couple other things. When i try to flash individual pieces, it does not retain it. when i try to flash the flashall.bat, it flashes but does not flash everything, it will say the stuff has transferred 0 and skips it as it looks like. I cannot get my bootloader off the october one, and i have looked everywhere i can to try to fix this.. please help, its driving me mad. I will be happy to provide any information needed.
Thanks Community! You rock!
Have you tried a different USB cable? A different computer? How about a different USB AND a different computer? I think this would be a good place to start.
Can i ask you why this would matter? My usb seems to work fine, and my computer had no issues before this... i can still perform different actions, and my phone is showing up as ADB and Fastboot.
If it's not pc or usb cable related you can try to flash latest factory image step by step via fastboot without your simcard
Well, you might want to post the complete output of your flashing attempt, but if the bootloader slot isn't found, that's usually a sign of a hardware problem. Hopefully I'm wrong, but until we see more from you, I simply don't have an answer for you.
Ive tried to fastboot everything individually, and it refuses to take. I tried the flashall, same thing. I used NRT and it partially worked, but has sorta the same error. I will be flashing again and providing screenshots right now. I was able to get into a rom, root, twrp but i still cannot update all of those core things (bootloader, radio, and such) Thank you guys for the help. Much needed.
Here is the attempt to just flash the bootloader, i have tried from a different location but this is directly in Platform-Tools of the SDK. As you can also see, it does register under fastboot...

I just tried what you suggest, and im not sure if it worked. It said everything wrote (on twrp) but it was very quickly done. I feel it did the same thing as CMD did.
You could try using the correct Fastboot command...

The command is fastboot flash <partition> <image>
Your screenshot says only "fastboot flash image" but doesn't state the partition you're trying to load, hence "unknown partition".
And since we're on the subject, perhaps a repetition of the procedure I used to use before the full OTA days might be useful to you and other people.

Can you give a bit more detail? So the phone is crashing, but is it now on the version that you wanted to have (7.0, 7.1.1)? There is rarely such a thing as "too much information".

Ok, so what happens is that it says i am on 7.1.1 with i guess the related info, but it does not load in properly as you can see with the screenshots. I start up the initial setup, and i can get through most of it fine, but some areas *permissions* are all blotchy. like i can toggle them on to submit data but i cant see what it is exactly im agreeing to. Then i start the phone, Google App automatically crashes, along side system ui. When i updated them, it seemed to fix the problem. But the issue is, i am not receiving phone calls and texts until possibly days later, and when i send texts it says "sending" and proceeds to spam the hell outta whoever its going to (sends literally 30+ texts). When i call someone, my phones Do Not Disturb mode gets enabled, and then nicely cuts out my audio. I can turn this feature off when im in the call, but sometimes it will then glitch the phone app, and i cannot essentially "hangup". My phone also now dies at 9%, where it had not previously (when i was on other rom / older stock) This all started after i updated to the october patch, and i noticed in december that i didnt have the december patch / update. I went to install it, and the same exact thing occurred. Ive attempted a rescue ota, and a sideload ota, and now this stuff as well, but i fear the worst for my phone. Let me know if i need to add anything else
Strephon may be right in suggesting a hardware fault, but equally it may just be that your phone is now somehow corrupted. My only suggestion is that you nuke it - factory reset, TWRP, wipe everything again in TWRP, and then try installing from fresh using the 7.1.1 full (not OTA) image and the instructions I posted earlier. If it still doesn't work I'm out of ideas, but there are people with far greater experience here than I have, so don't give up. It's too nice a device to just write off.

That's a new feature of 7.1.1. So you won't have to listen to notifications while on the phone. It's disabled as soon as the phone call is over.
