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.

You must bee 100% stock for OTA to flash. Look here for some more info:

I just received an S5 AT&T with ND3 base. The phone is constantly asking me to update but I'm not sure what base will be added. If I take the OTA update will I lose root and if so, will I be able to reroot the device? Or, do I just ignore any OTA updates altogether. I remember being aware of taking OTA updates on my Note II. I'm on a stock odexed factory rom with root only and xposed. Thanks!

If you take the NG3 Update it will break root.
That being said if you want the latest ATT firmware update use this method it's quite easy to do.

Thank you kindly my friend. I'll look into this ASAP!
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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
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.

And don't relock your bootloader. It is not necessary to take the OTA.

I flashed stock 5.1 on my Nexus 7 the other night so should it be able to get OTA now?
I am currently in 5.1 for my Nexus 6 so should I just re flash 5.1 again to remove root and re-enable OTA?
Thanks for your help guys and I will not lock seeing as its not necessary.

"Removing" root via SuperSU app is insufficient. You will need to fastboot flash the system.img. If you have a modified kernel, you will have to fastboot flash the stock boot.img
I'm confused why TWRP is detecting my nexus 6 a version LRX22G but it's clearly in LMY47D, what seems to be the problem here?
I used version 5.1 without force encryption, maybe this could be related to my issue.
What exactly are you trying to sideload?

You cannot sideload an OTA unless your system (including recovery) is 100% stock. Are you trying to update using an official OTA?

Sadly, I did.. so the only way I could update my nexus to 5.1.1 is to revert back to being stock? or is there another way?

Hi guys,
I have some questions about updating my new XT1092 :
I'm french and have a 4.4.4 android stock version deutsch (21.21.45.victara_retde.retdeall.en.DE retde)
I haven't made modifications (bootloader not unlocked) or update to keep maximum root possiblilites.
i want 2 things : update to lollipop 5.1 and root my phone.
But after reading some posts and brick problems, i don't know where to start :
does i need to update to 5.1 first and root after ?
or root first on 4.4.4 version and update to 5 and 5.1 ?
OTA update or manual update ?
Thanks!
Update first, then after on 5.1 root. Don't worry about a brick. The bricks are caused by downgrading then taking OTA. Since you did not downgrade, you won't brick.

Yes you can root. Just flash twrp recovery, open the recovery and then when you exit the recovery it will ask you if you want to root the phone. Super simple.
