Lollipop 5.0.1 Help - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning Guy,
i have a simple question that for me is not so simple because clearly i need some help. I have unlocked & rooted my tablet however now I get a notification for the Lollipop 5.0.1 OTA but when I try to install it and it reboots it then goes into the TRWP recovery mode and nothing else and if i choose to reboot from there the it reboots fine but without the upgrade. Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Just flash the system.img with fastboot.

They changed the way updating happens. If your rooted never plan on getting an OTA again

Is possible that the problem is because you have a Custom Recovery (TRWP) installed.
Try to flash the Recovery Stock, and then maybe OTA can be installed. If not, try to flash whole Factory Image.

You will have to extract several times to find the .img files

Use winrar or 7-zip to extract it. Inside is a zip file, extract that too. There you will find the system.img

The you must extract .tar again. The you must use .bat or extract a .ZIP and then:
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase vendor
fastboot erase userdata
pause
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
But with this, all your data will be erased.

You don't have to erase everything to update.
Code:

fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
Will update your tablet without wiping everything.

Does anyone have a ph98img?

I used to have one but I lost it and I don't know if you have tried but its really hard to find one.
what are you looking to do
most people refer to the RUU. but PH98IMG.zip can be alot of different things

if your not looking to get back to stock than don't flash the zip from the link above

Well basically I need the txt file in the boot img. my phone is s-on and I always have to flash the ph
are you sure your not getting that confused?
if flashing a rom.
1.Flash ROM zip in recovery
2.Take the boot.img out of the ROM zip you just flashed
3.Reboot to Fastboot and flash the boot.img through ADB with the command: Fastboot flash boot boot.img
i don't see why anyone would need to flash the boot.img from an RUU. and if you did flash a boot.img from an RUU after you installed a ROM than i dont think the ROM would work at all
just clearing that up if you don't know or new to ROMing :good:
Or just "fastboot boot recovery.zip" and flash normally, if you are S-ON and BOOT recovery via fastboot, you can flash the ROM normally and not have to manually flash the boot.img in Fastboot like you do if you flash the ROM from an installed recovery.

As a mac user I tried this. With adb all set up on the mac to use terminal (the whole folder and everything was set up long ago when unlocking). I have to use the command ./fastboot instead of just fastboot with terminal. Anyway, when ./fastboot flash boot boot.img it never works. It seems like it works, but then the phone just goes into the white HTC screen and is stuck there. It never boots.

How to flash new 5.0.1 System Image if Rooted

EDIT: Noob to flashing stock images here. Need help on how to get the image to install on the device. This is my first ever Nexus device
So there's a new 5.0.1 system image out. I'm rooted, and I remember reading somewhere that the official OTA process won't work if you have modifications to the System partition.
So, I just want to check what I should do. Thanks.
Fastboot flash the images. Then reroot.
Awesome. I'm new to fastboot, and this is my first Nexus device. What is the procedure for flashing an official System image with fastboot?

That post left out flashing recovery. The download should have 6 files. I flashed recovery at the end (but I don't think it matters how you flash the files, I could be wrong though).
See link above, then you might as well just flash twrp recovery instead of factory recovery, then flash this SuperSU zip through recovery and you'll be rooted and updated.
Order of flash doesn't matter, and I wouldn't flash boot loader unless necessary.

I had TWRP installed before loading up these images. I decided to not flash recovery.img thinking I would be okay; but when I tried to reboot into twrp, I soft bricked. So I would still install the recovery.img first and then twrp. Everything is working properly now.

You're right, now that I think about it, I believe I had to do that as well last time I flashed a factory image.
I am unlocked, rooted and have custom recovery.... what is the procedure? Is fastboot the only way?

maybe I'll write up a guide, but download the factory image, extract it. In there is a zip file, extract it too. Then Google 15 second adb install xda. That'll set up fastboot on your pc. Then boot into the bootloader and in a command window opened in the folder where the bootloader image is located run the commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img. Note, use the full name of the bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w
Open the folder where the boot, system, cache, system, and vendor images are located. Open a command window in that folder and run the commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Then you're done

He will still have to reroot and flash custom recovery... but you got 95% of the process :laugh:
So we have to go through this for updates rather than flashing a modified firmware, eh? damn

Since its a small update you could probably get by just flashing the system and boot images. But I haven't tried it

I'd flash everything as described to be safe, I just prefer simply flashing a zip and moving on.
Will updating thru adb wipe my device?

You're using thru fastboot, not adb. They're different. But to answer your question the command fastboot -w does wipe your device. You could try it without that command but it may cause problems. Back your device up to Google first. Google had gotten really good at restoring the device after a flash.
You could also try just flashing the system and boot images, run those fastboot commands only and not the other ones. It should update to 5.0.1 without a problem.

Thanks, I have actually flashed a few times thru fastboot in the past so I'm not totally lost on the idea. I've always used tibu in the past, will Google restore my data too?

You unlock your bootloader?
if no, apply the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753110
If not work, go back to stock 4.4.4, not 4.4.2 and repeat the process to unlock bootloader and flash twrp and cm11 again.

Hi man, itś so many years dead discussion, but now i need upgrade my Honor 5C. I don´t know if i´ve make something bad, but if i try flash system from stock rom (NEM-L21C432B364), my phone is dead. Only recovery and fastboot mode is working. I´ve try upgrade from version B132. Can you help me please? Now I am not sure, if upgrade version B132 directly to B364 is OK....

No signal after going back to stock

So i changed back to stock rom and everything is working fine except the part where i cant get any mobile signal.
Here´s what i did:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
When flashing cust it gave an error, maybe thats it?
Thanks!
