I have a Nexus 7 (2013) running Kit Kat (4.4.4) and recently got the the OTA update to 5.0.1, but haven't installed it yet. I rooted it using the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit sometime some the last OTA update.
So how do I update to Lollipop? Do I need to unroot with the toolkit first? Will I need to backup my apps first and restore after the update?
Also, for some unknown reason, I no longer have the OTA update although I was notified that it had been downloaded. Odd! Guess I'll have to manually download it and side load it.
Thanks in advance...

Can someone please advise on how to update to 5.0.1 OTA on my Nexus 6 which is rooted? The ota fails to install using the phone.
I would prefer not to loose root and phone data/settings.

Hey XDA,
So I have a stock att s5 running android 4.4.2. Im trying to update to 5.0 using the stock recover and adb sideload, but it keeps throwing an error at me saying "protocol fault (no status)"
How would I go about fixing this error? do i need to update to 4.4.4 first?
thank!
Im on baseband version g900AUCU2AND3
Edit: could i possibly adb sideload the NCE to NG3 zip found in this thread and proceed from there?

or would it be easier to go to a best buy store and have one of those guys do it for me...
I ended up downgrading to NCE... working my way to there now >_>
moderators, do whatever you do to resolved threads.
You have to take the 4.4.4 incremental update B4 taking the 5.0 update. You can update it through recovery but have to download the file from the other thread about updating to 5.0 and change the name to update.zip. You MUST BE on 4.4.4 first though. Also,there is no root for 5.0 yet. If you want to stay rooted I would wait on taking that 5.0 update.

Yeah, I'm running though the updates now. I really want to hit something or someone right now. Im finally at 4.4.4
Yeah it takes a while to do all those updates but all worthwhile if we get to keep the root. Are you on rooted 4.4.4 now or are you staying stock? I'm on rooted 4.4.4 and NOT updating to 5.0 till I know it can be rooted. If it never gets rooted,I guess I'll never take it. I like my root too much.

Just an update. The update was successful... Lollipop seems so white 0_0
Hello everyone... I have a N6 I got directly from Google Play Store and I am using a VZW sim card... I unlocked, rooted and have TWRP installed but other than that I am still on stock 5.1
Today I got the notification that 5.1.1 update is available to install so I went on Google to get the factory image and update with fastboot so I would not lose data also... but it seems that Google only posted the factory images for Sprint and T-Mobile... So I am not sure how to go about this now... I obviously can't update from OTA but I don't seem to be able to download an appropriate factory image.
Any help is appreciated!
It's the same one as sprint, LMY47Z

Before you received the OTA, what build were you running? 47D?
Hello everyone,
This is my first thread here so forgive me.
Since I first bought my S5 I haven't been able to update it's software. I rooted it with towel root (android version 4.4.2). I attempted to update it several times while unrooted and it ended up with the same failure, that the update was interrupted.
There have been several updates since I first bought the phone... AT&T has already rolled out Lollipop. Could anyone help? I'm willing to provide any details necessary for a fix.

I am currently on lollipop 5.0.2 and rooted and I got ota update notification. Does upgrading ota leads to root access loss. And how is this update treating you?
Yes, just root via methods shown elsewhere or own preferred method ..... It's great.
