Same here. I get an error.
Link's not working...maybe this? http://r7---sn-nx5cvox-hpal.c.andro...A71B667AD85D6BFF80FEEDCCD65D48A2D7BF&key=cms1
Downloaded just fine for me. Not sure the best way to utilize it, I'm simply providing the download.
Link is for real fixed now.
How to apply. Wish I was near my computer... http://www.cultofandroid.com/45466/manually-install-the-android-kitkat-update-on-nexus-4/

You could manually install it from SD card, but you'd have to be stock. I think I'll give it a shot and give up Cataclysm for a few days to check out the new camera fixes.

Yes, but the process is the same. You can also do it from the SD card: http://www.technostall.com/nexus-7-android-43-update/
Perfect option if you don't have a computer with you.
Can we do this in twrp sideload?

Need to have stock recovery? I'm on stock, but not stock recovery.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You don't have to have stock recovery. I've got TWRP and it flashed just fine. Put the zip on your SD. Boot into TWRP/CWM, flash as you would any other zip.
BUT, you WILL lose root.
*edit* I should also add that other than TWRP and root, I was completely stock.
Cool! Did you lose user data?

Did you try flashing SuperSU to see if root can be achieved on this new image?
Wowie! I just got Omni. I'll gladly switch back to stock for this. Sold!

I'm about to give that a shot. Flashing over stock + root immediately followed by superSU 1.65
Worked perfectly.

Maybe I'm being dumb, but your signature says your phone is a 'Galaxy S'
Also, you need to provide a hell of a lot more info if you expect a decent answer.

Make a fresh installation.Wipe /system /data /cache and if possible wipe /data/media <--- wipes the internal sd card.
Then flash CM11
Because cm is poo?

Do I need to be rooted to change the boot animation? Can I push the file with adb without root or UBL?

As far as I know you have to be rooted, because it's replacing the bootanimation.zip in the root/system/media

Did you ever try and flash this with ADB? I ask because I manually applied the MRA58K OTA onto my AT&T Nexus 6 and it didn't change the boot animation, it's still the Lollipop boot animation..
I dont want to root or ubl to get this working but if it can be pushed through ADB or fastboot that'd be great.

Location of cache folder in lollipop?

I have the official 6.0 OTA firmware downloaded for Canada and want to save it on my PC
What is the path to the cache folder?
/cache

You can use whatever modules you want if they are compatible, or none at all as well. If you just want root for roots sake, or for a few root apps, you can do that too :good:

If your carrier bootloader locked, then you won't be able to do anything that your looking to do
