Update Nexus 5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I Have a Nexus 5 with root, stock rom, Franco Kernel and the custom recovery is TWRP. I accomplished this by following a guide around this forum, I know very little about Android. The Android version i'm running is the 4.4.2 and the phone keeps asking me to update do the newer version, however, when I try to do it, it takes me to the TWRP menu, and when I try to install it there, I get this error:
"/system/bin/thermal-engine-hh" has unexpected contents
E: Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
How can I update the phone to the newer version of android? Can anyone help me? Thanks.

That is the faulty zip, or the zip is not meant for your device! Maybbe, you should post this in Nexus 5 forum!

Get an error while trying to flash 4.4.2 roms

Whenever I try to flash cyanogenmod for kitkat to my mega (or any of the other kitkat rom) i get this error.
Error executing updater binary in zip "insert file path"
I'm following the tutorial that google provided but this is always the end result.
Can anyone help me figure out why this issue is happening?
I'm using twrp to do the flashing.
Are you using the TWRP recovery from Silesh.Nair post which is in his signature check this out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48415648&postcount=5 as you need that TWRP recovery with the kitkat support in order for it to install the rom, just go to the downloads and click on the here link in his signature and download the TWRP from the site as you need this one, and when you flash the TWRP recovery and when done..boot right away back into the recovery otherwise the TWRP recovery will be replaced with the stock one.
You only have to do this once and after that the TWRP recovery will stay. And what model is your mega?

So, you're trying to flash an update.zip with your CWM on the stock recovery? This would explain it, as you can not install updates not signed by Huawei in the stock recovery.

Well, maybe u are right. Actually, im new to this.
But, when i updating a Signed recovery, its going to middle, then loading bar and installation failed. Unsigned package is at start failed.
Well, how to flash it? I have available just root, and fastboot i cant execute (when i holding volume up and power, its just boot up a tablet). Is another way to flash it? (inside android or how?)
And another question, where i can test my recovery if is something broken or similiar to be secured?
Thankie

Some info there and a link to another site that claims to have recovery working and a LP rom. Definitely proceed with caution and make sure you have access to the original firmware and know how to reload before you proceed. Good luck.

Okey, thank you. But you think, this will be work too on Youth 2 too?
Ah, my mistake! I thought it was the same one. Don't try that then. Lol

Stuck in TWRP after OTA update (E: error executing updater binary in zip)

Hi Everyone,
I know, I fell in a noob trap doing this and I already hate myself for it : I tried to OTA update my rooted Honor 7 and the device remained stuck in TWRP after reboot.
Log showed the following message in red : "E: error executing updater binary in zip"
I proceeded to a wipe and managed to start the system. This allowed me to unroot my phone, thinking I would then be able to update from a clean basis.
Unfortunately, the same error occurred and I am now stuck in TWRP again...
I would be grateful if anyone could provide me some leads to get out of my noob trap...
Thank you very much !
Edit : I finally understood how i managed to start system (I deleted the update.zip file and wiped again). Still, now how can I update to the latest version without getting stuck again in TWRP ? Thank you !

You have to flash stock recovery before update and unroot of course.

Thank you for your answer ! I found the image of the stock recovery but I can only find instructions for windows and I run on mac... Do you happen to know how can I get to flash the recovery image using terminal ?
Thank you again !

Need Help! Alcatel OneTouch Pop Up (6044D) bootloop

Hi, I need help with my phone, I accidentally changed the permissions (using ROM Toolbox Lite) from the system folder making the phone crash shortly after. Now it shows the Alcatel logo and shuts off and back on in recovery mode.
I'm new with adb and CWM/TWRP stuff, but I can't find the device using adb (I installed the usb drivers correctly) , it only finds on sideload and even then I get "error: closed"...and with CWM/TWRP I can't use sideload because:
"You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this devices" (and I used 1.0.36)
And with zip file (CWM) method I get:
"E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Please help, I can't find the stock rom for this phone
Did you find a solution? HAve a Bootloop too

Hi, My 6044d also in boot loop, not rooted so I can't get stock boot.img or recovery.img in order to compile CWM and CM from source for this particular phone. Please someone post it and of course, when compiled I'll post back de results for all of us that need a custom ROM for this phone. It's crazy that this phone is not so popular and the common custom roms don't have one for it out of the box, that's why I decided to compile it myself, but I can't get my boot.img or recovery.img to configure build environment for this especific phone.
Thanks in advance!

Huawei mate 10 pro wont boot at all. Please help.!!

Hello,

I was able to unlock my boot loader, and flash TWRP my device but my dumb s*** flashed TWRP to my file system use FLASH SYSTEM instead of FLASH RECOVERY. Now, I can't fix it ?. I know I can use sideload so I'm not panicking just yet however I know I messed up the file system.
Could someone tell me what file system system I should be using (fat, exfat, ext4, etc...) and what to do to get this think to boot backup.?
I've tried and side loading "update_full_BLA-L29_hw_la.zip" stock ROM but no luck... I keep getting this error message:
"check_write_data_to_partition,write data error
Update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed
Updated process ended with error: 9"
HELP.!!!
