[Q] Update OTA crashed my root

killhaug · Jun 25, 2014

Yesterday I managed to press install on the newest update, 4.4.4 on my Nexus 5. It was rooted and still is, but by installing this OTA it somehow made it crash. Now that I try to get into recovery mode I just get the android which is dead with an ! on it. It was rooted with Xposed and TWRP.
What do I do? Im on a Mac

OTA removed root replaces recovery. I'm amazed it managed to replace recovery whilst Xposed was installed. Anyway, seems like it did.
You must fastboot flash a custom recovery

I feel embarrassed to ask, but how do I do that on my Mac? When I rooted it I did it on my PC at home, now Im traveling with my Mac for work..
Thanks!

The same really. Install fastboot and use the "fastboot flash recovery /pathto/your/recovery.img" command
