My Rooted N5, & Android 4.4.2

ItsStormy · Feb 14, 2014

Hey guys, I have a rooted N5 with CF Auto Root. I have been trying to do a update to 4.4.2. however, every time I download it and go to install, I get a error upon reboot, The update doesn't install. I'm still rather new with rooting phones. I was hoping someone could give me some insight on how to install this? I had a friend tell me its possible to manually install the update if I could locate the files?

Thanks!

Ahh, excellent, thank you! However I'm a bit confused on what ADB Sideload is and how to use it. XD

Install the android-sdk platform- tools, look here for how to https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=...OWoMssTikMpokJ6TtwEND5A&bvm=bv.61190604,d.bGQ.
Then put the rom/OTA you want in the platform-tools folder, reboot in recovery and select adb sideload and then in cmd type `adb sideload namerom.zip` to flash the zip.

Hi again, so I've gone over the tutorials. However when I attempt to go through the steps within http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2523217 - I keep getting the error 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You have not created a path, look here http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/ item 5, 6 and 7.

Okay, so apparently thats only a issue if my phone isnt rooted judging by the first tutorial, it states I should follow section B.

1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.
2) Boot into recovery.
3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.
4) Reboot.

However, When I boot into Recovery Mode, I get a error stating No Command.

Do you have a custom recovery? choose B. If on stock recovery boot in a custom recovery by placing the custom recovery.img in fastboot folder and type in cmd `fastboot boot namerecovery.img`, let it load and flash the OTA in recovery and boot up.

Eh. I don't believe so, or I'm not entirely sure, I'm sorry.

If you have stock recovery there should stand 3e recovery on top, if so reboot into bootloader and do what i wrote in the prior post. Or sideload the OTA with adb in stock recovery.

I've followed the steps for system variables.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk;C:\Android-adb

However, I'm still receiving adb is not recognized from the terminal.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm sorry about noobing this thread up.

Dumb question, but is adb.exe in the android-adb folder?

Now that you mention it, apparently not. I did however find this. And it is either in that location. I went into AVD Manager, but I don't see anywhere where I can install ''Android SDK Platform-tools"

The adb tool has moved to platform-tools/

If you don't see this directory in your SDK,
launch the SDK and AVD Manager (execute the android tool)
and install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Please also update your PATH environment variable to
include the platform-tools/ directory, so you can
execute adb from any location.

Best is to install the sdk straight to the C drive, so C:\android-sdk and not in a folder. The path vaiables to add would be \android-sdk\platform-tools.
