You need to be on Stock Recovery to make this work, so you will not be able to do this via TWRP. I've gone back to stock myself and am still not able to update... but once I figure this out, I will report back.

I have tried installing it on -
Stock recovery, ( it says error)
TWRP,
CWM
All says same thing

There is some recovery collection here on xda if I am not wrong, in general?
Otherwise you could extract it from the factory/ota images?

Going back to stock recovery won't help. I never flash custom recovery, I only root, and 5.0.1 OTA doesn't work for me. I've seen it stated in several threads that you only need to go back to stock recovery but this is not correct, you need to have 100% un-tampered stock.

Happy, happy - I had the same trouble on my tablet, until I followed these instructions.
I couldn't update mine from its installed 5.0 factory (stock) image to 5.0.1. The OTA alert was there on my screen, but failed every time it loaded ("Error" under the little android dude). ADB Sideload on the stock recovery would fail with the "Status 7" error. Installing TWRP didn't help, either - when I tried to Sideload it from TWRP advanced section, it just said "Cannot read command" and would terminate.
I followed the instructions above, and it worked first try. I don't know what was holding it back - perhaps too many SU apps or maybe I did too many SuperSU updates? Obviously, something had corrupted the system files. No clue... I didn't lose any data or settings. I had to re-root, of course, but CF-Root makes that an easy business.
Cheers! Good luck :victory:

I was on rooted 5.0 with TWRP. I think the easiest way to get the 5.0.1 update without losing apps or data is to download the stock, rooted rom from Scrosler found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22c-t2960745 , use Wugfresh's NRT 1.9.9 to update the bootloader listed in Scrosler's post, and then dirty flash (wipe Dalvik and cache if you want) the 5.0.1 rom using TWRP. Painless and fast with no loss of data or anything.

JWR66Y update and re-rooting peculiarity

The most peculiar thing happened after I applied today's JWR66Y update.
Prior to the update my GNex was running stock 4.3, rooted with SuperSU, and TWRP recovery was installed. So I flashed back to stock recovery and used the SuperSU app option for "Full unroot" in preparation to apply the OTA update.
Instead of letting the system do it, I copied the downloaded zip file from cache to my PC and used ADB sideload. Then I used fastboot to flash TWRP. From TWRP I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
Here's the peculiar part. When I rebooted I didn't have root. The SuperSU app appeared as installed under Apps, but there was no icon in the app drawer. So I went to Google Play and installed SuperSU from there. After that everything was back to normal.
I never saw this happen before. Out of curiosity does anyone know why? I'm thankful it was so simple to fix but I'm scratching my head.

Mine did something strange as well, but different than yours. I'm also running stock 4.3, rooted with SuperSU, and TWRP. For me it downloaded and installed the update then booted into TWRP recovery. After that finished doing something automatically it asked if I wanted to fix root, which I did. The phone booted back up and it's back on JWR66V and when I check for updates it says there aren't any. Still have root though.

I just did it for my Nexus 7, followed the same steps described for my GNex, and the same thing happened haha. Oh well, easy enough to fix but I'm still wondering why flashing the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip didn't install the app.

That was always enough for me with prior updates, too (before 4.3) but this update couldn't be applied without unrooting. It threw a Status 7 error and "Installation aborted". The moment I unrooted, the update installed without issue.

Instead of accepting the OTA, install the zip file efrant posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44886292&postcount=102
it has the recovery dependency removed, so you can keep your custom recovery. Copy the zip to your sdcard, rename to update.zip and install via either CWM or TWRP.
Thanks.. Will do that and give a report. :thumbup::thumbup:

I downloaded the file..from the link above, renamed to update.zip, got into cwm. Hit apply...didn't work..gave a systsm 7 error..somethijg about build.prop and a directory/file not found in d package
Update:
Then copied my ota from cacbe n flashed thru cwm, toggled file verification off. It worked a bit then system 7 again but this time rebioted like someone mentioned above as though it was fully updated.. Ie upgrading apps etc..but after all it was stil jwr66v. So now i need d stock recovery.img file i guess.. Can someone please upload
Update 2:
As many have already stated...i went into supersu app..full unroot, rebooted into cwm using the original ota from cache( which i had copied into clockwork folder) flashed it successfully, then flashed supersu 1.51 which i also put in d above folder. Rebooted and now I'm rooted on jrw66y..last thing was to install the supersu app from playstore. Hope it helps

Which brings me back to my original question. Why does the SuperSU app have to be installed from Google Play if UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip is installed from recovery? All of the system su files are there, just not the app. Isn't this a bit peculiar?

I have a Nexus 4 and my device did exactly the same after updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3(jwr66v).. Do not know the reason.. But after downloading the app from Play Store, things are working fine.. I suspect the Full Unroot option in SuperSu to be the culprit..

ADB sideload problems?

I am trying to update to 4.4 on my Nexus 7 using ADB. Im running a completely stock Nexus 7, never rooted or changed anything. When I try to ADB sideload however, I keep getting "esignature failed" and the installation aborts. I have tried downloading the update many times and I still get the same error when I try to sideload. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a ton - I thought I was going to have to do something a hell of a lot more time-consuming than a sideload.
And for some reason, TWRP isn't letting me sideload. ADB won't detect the tablet to allow it.
EDIT: Nevermind - evidently it was something very recent that got messed up - I returned to the backup I made after getting 4.4.1 loaded, and it flashed without issue. Yay.

You need to take the device back completely to stock for the update to work.
Wugs Toolkit is an incredible tool to do so.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
No, that will mean loss of time. If you use wug toolkit you can extract system.img from stock image and then flash it on your device, so that you won't have to erase anything. Anyway if debuggerd zip worked there's no need to do anything else

Can't updated to 4.4.2 in anyway

I've received 4.4.2 update today(with verification failed message beneath), after download I was asked to restart and install, and it redirected to TWRP(2.6.3.1 for flo), so I rebooted the system only to see the 4.4 version again in 'About System', the next time I received OTA updated with in a span of five minutes, the same problem repeated again. So I downloaded OTA zip file and tried to install though TWRP, but there was an error "Error executing updater binary in zip".
So I tried adb sideload but got an error "Device not found", So it just appears like all doors are closed for me..Please provide a solution to this
My device is unlocked as well as rooted

The OTA sent out for 4.4.2 OTA was an update from 4.4.1.
You either have to update to 4.4.1 then 4.4.2, or use twrp to flash the update file 4.4 to 4.4.2.

How to boot image from 4.4?

[Q] Beta 6 Fails when installing with TWRP.

Basically what the topic says, every time I try installing Beta 6 using TWRP, it'll tell me there's no MD5, a warning that there's no "file_context" (if I remember correctly), and then a red "failed" message after 30-50 seconds. Then I'd have to use my backup file I created before flashing the ROM just to reboot the phone.
And just in case someone asks for what phone/ROM I'm using:
Galaxy Nexus (Toro)
Paranoid Android 3.99
Any idea why this is happening?

The easiest way to update TWRP is to go to the play store and installing Goo market (it's a green app the the app image says "Goo") and then from there you can update painlessly with no problem.
