Ok so here is the deal i got a nexus 6 on the 19th the 1st thing i did was root it then i did a bit of customizing on it that i dont want to lose. Now my phone says i have an update that it wants to install, so i let it do its thing but it wont install it just keeps saying there is a update. So my questions are if i make a nandroid back up on build # LNX07M and unroot by flashing back the factory img and then install the update which i think will update me to build # LRX21O. can i restore the backup from LNX07M to LRX21O?
No. Restoring your backup will put you in the exact state you're in now, that's the point of them.

So then best thing i can do it factory restore and then do the update followed by rooting and modding?
Not a factory restore.. You will need to get back to stock to take any OTA (new "feature" introduced with lollipop)
Either flash the old version system image and take OTA, or flash the latest system image directly.

So i just ended up flashing the latest system image, took some work but i got it done thanks for your help.
Did you flash it right over top your rooted ROM and if so where did you get the zip?
was this just "fastboot flash system system.img" ?
Does that kill Root?
You can get the file from google. and yes i just flashed it over top.

I'm root/soff. a new ota just came out that will fix my unusable phone. how do I take it if im root, do I have to fully unroot? or can I take it as is?

looks like it needs stock recovery to flash, it's not hboot format and twrp won't take it. will report back if I am able to do it

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens
Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.
i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?
I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?
I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.
man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

Not just stock recovery - the entire system partition will need to be stock from what I've read. So, boot/system/radio - all images
Edit: just saw ebrown205's post - "out of the box" config is right.
Might just wait to flash a ROM then... Don't see the benefit to stock out for an update

Or you could just flash the images from the latest google images (which is what you should do anyway) - unless you want a different ROM of course.
yeah i always only keep stock as long as it takes for a slim or pa rom to come out, but 5.0 is actually pretty good! still though stock will be gone asap
So my phone is rooted with unlocked bootloader running faux kernel. I just received the ota update and clicked the button for restart and install. When I did that it brought me to my main option list in twrp. I didn't know what to do so I hit reboot system. It rebooted but nothing showed updating when I did that. Showing I'm still on 5.0.0.
What did I need to do? How do I still update now?
You cannot accept ota if you're modified.
You'll have to flash a ROM.zip or fastboot flash system.and boot image.from the factory images

See that's what I thought but was confused that I got the ota. I'm having a problem finding the rom.zip. Only finding images and I don't want that. Do you happen to have a link?

If you download the image from google there is a zip drive with the files you are looking for inside of them. You can fastboot them individually.
Or you could just flash one of the many roms on here that are using the newer 5.0.2

That's the thing, I was trying to keep it relatively stock for a while. I don't see any reliable roms out there yet.
Give Sinless rom a try. There is a thread on here for it. It is based off of the office 5.0.1 image and not aosp. Great speed and features and decrypted

http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/how-to-flash-ota-updates-rooted-custom-t2996149
Should help
I flashed an OTA that was modified to work with TWRP, prior to that I unrooted, uninstalled xposed and flashed my current system files. OTA went well and I rerooted but no xposed.
My battery has been pretty bad since the update so I want to do a factory reset. I figure while I am at it I want to go back to stock recovery and not root immediately so I can see if Android pay will actually work.
Thanks
I am an idiot, I assumed that the full firmware wasn't posted yet in file factory but it appears that it has.
I guess I just want confirmation that this is the correct build for the new OTA I took: VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.6_cid9_CFC.xml.zip

So to get back to stock everything, I can download the file above that Raistlin1 provided, and follow the motorola guide here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
I'm on stock rooted rom and stock recovery but better battery stats did something to my system so I can't uninstall busybox, then unroot, and apply a new OTA like I did last time. I think I'm just going to stay unrooted this time around.
Is fastboot included in the download? Is there a better place to download from file factory, I have about 10 hours left...
Thanks
Is there anywhere I can get this from that isn't 70Kbps or $13? Seems odd that Moto doesn't put it up.

I think you will need to use mfastboot, at least that is what I used. I am at work and don't have any of my saved links with me now.

I just used the official one from Motorola, it's 23.32-21.3 not 23.32-21.6 but just take the ota after you follow motorola's instructions. All told will take you less than an hour as opposed to half a day downloading the newest one.

I've read in multiple places on this forum that if you're on the latest OTA, installing an older one and then taking the OTA again will brick the phone.

Correct, if you were already on the new one, then downgraded, taking the OTA has a risk of bricking the phone. After a downgrade the safest bet is to flash the full firmware of the same version.

Yep, I couldn't get the newest ota because better battery stats irreversibly modified my system. I flashed the same version that was installed and then got the newest ota. I plan on using Android pay so I'm not going to re-root.
Hey guys, I was hoping to flash a pure stock 7.x preferably via twrp.
A buddy of mine a year ago and me to flash pure Nexus for him but now needs a stock phone for business security net purposes.
Is there a link for this? I've searched and have come up short.
I'm guessing it'll have to update bootloader, radio and kernel as well?
I know how to do this via command line. Was really hoping for a way to do it on the fly since this is not my phone and taking a PC for a TWRP ready device is a hassle.

This should be a relatively easy thing so I'm surprised it doesn't exist
there is no reason for it to HAVE to be twrp flashable, just google for "NEXUS ROOT TOOLKIT" you will see on there restore to stock, and re-lock boot-loader, not positive but i think twrp cant flash stock unrooted images, i could be wrong

TWRP can flash a stock image if someone creates it. Unless there is something odd about the nexus, but I doubt that. The only thing that shouldn't be flashed stock would be recovery.
I don't think I need to use some toolkit... adb and fastboot commands are simple enough.
I was hoping to avoid needing a PC at another persons house, I mean that is kinda the point of twrp.
I am surprised this doesn't exist. It does for every other device I've owned. It's honestly just a wiped clean, twrp backup of a stock device with TWRP installed.
If I owned the device I would make it for you guys. It seems something that is lacking that is really handy.
I guess I'll round up a laptop. Thanks for the links and suggestions.
Google has done that for you already. Just unpack the archive you choose and the four images are in there.

Different Google search gave this. I can find nothing else on TWRP site or G+
Appears you can also use FlashFire.
Thanks for the help.
OP could flash one of the stock lite ROMs in the development forum and get the TWRP-flashable stock ROM he's looking for. Danvdh and tupac4u both offer one that is nothing more a debloated stock ROM.
TWRP is able to flash system images from 3.0.2 and on. Just unpack the archive and select install img. Remember to flash stock kernel and newest radio and bootloader too (bare in mind that flashable bootloader is harder to find. You might have to find older one and update the files inside on your own). Afterwards flash stock recovery and lock bootloader with a zip. Now you can just reboot it. It's not that hard.

Thank you.
I went ahead and simply flashed him 100% stock via flash and fastboot.
This is probably resolved now, just adding info though. I had flashed stock 7.1.1 zip downloaded from google via twrp 3.0.3.0. It removed twrp itself too and I was back on stock.
