Nexus 5x OTA update - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Device is not updating to April or even May security patch its stuck on march update please help I am running build MMB29V can anyone possibility help?

I had similar issue but mine wouldn't update from April-May so I flashed factory image via fastboot because I got tired of waiting. I suggest fastboot flash the image. You can grab it on the factory images for Nexus devices website.

you can update ota.zip and do it via adb sideload.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota

If you have TWRP , you can just flash the system.img and vendor.img right in recovery.

Here's a guide to walk over how to upgrade using fastboot. You'll want to update via section 9.

Fantastic! I just noticed that Google has posted OTA URL zips so you can ADB sideload from any prior release to the latest OTA!

Although i know i could side-load the may update, i am curious of the underling cause for not receiving the update regularly. Are OTA-updates supposed to hit you the day they are announced or is this somehow region-depended?

Usually, Google does staged rollouts which takes awhile. You could do ADB Sideload. Download then ADB Sideload the MTC19T zip OTA image from Google:

Need Help Upgrading Galaxy Nexus Firmware

Hello everyone I have my galaxy nexus and it was shipped with 4.0.1 firmware from Australia so it does not receive OTA updates, can someone give me a tutorial on how to manually update it. Thanks!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881
Have fun. FYI it wipes your device, so save everything first.

Your device DOES receive OTA updates. It's just a matter of time. Regardless, there are two ways to update to 4.0.2: by flashing yakju 4.0.2 from the link provided above (which will wipe your device), or by updating your current build (which will not wipe). See link in my signature.

Unlocked bootloader question

So I am sure this is posted but I couldn't find it currently. If I only have my bootloader unlocked can I take an ota update? Only ask cuz I did unlock it and haven't gotten January security update yet.

Yes, as long as you have not modified anything in /system then you'll be able to successfully take an OTA. I have not heard of a January security update as of yet.

Thought so just making sure. And I am sure there will be so I'd rather take it before I modified anything lol

No doubt. If you are comfortable issuing adb commands, using fastboot to update is rather painless once you have everything set up. No need to wait since factory images often get posted before many receive an OTA notice.

I know how to do the adb and fastboot but not sure what I flash for the updates

Follow step 10 of Heisenberg's guide and you will be all set. The only thing you do not need to flash is userdata, as this would return you to out of the box state.
Ok haha thanks that's simple

Haven't gotten the OTA myself yet, usually as previously mentioned I'll just go ahead and use the factory images when available as they come out before OTAs. If your more comfortable with the OTA just wait for it . If you have any more questions let me know!
Yeah I know how and am OK with it but waiting a day before I root and flash a rom I'll wait. I know that they released the update yesterday so I'm wondering how long till they push the ota
Just received the ota if anyone cares lol

Nexus 5X OTA Updates Not Working Beyond Feb 2016 in April 2016.

Hi all,
I've just become the delighted owner of an N5X (after having a N5 since launch). Just been doing my updates, and it will not update beyond Feb 2016 security updates (it is now April 2016).
I've read that there are issues with March 2016 updates that have caused fingerprint sensor problems for some users. Is this why the OTA isn't working beyond Feb 2016? Have Google put the OTA on hold until they fix? Will a regular OTA come in May 2016?
I know updates on a fresh device can be a little clunky, especially when you get to Play Services and so forth...patience is usually the key. It's been over 72 hours awake now and still no OTA beyond Feb 2016.
I know I could sideload the April updates directly (fastboot flash system system.img) from the latest Bullhead (mhc19q) factory images, and I don't particularly want to do that in case there is a reason why March 2016 and beyond updates will break my fingerprint sensor.
I'm not rooting. I just want pure stock. All I've done is unlocked the N5X bootloader so I can at least do some flashing if I need to without wiping the device. I may be able to load TWRP into the RAM to do a backup though, on a temproot.
Any ideas anyone on doing this the OTA way? It's a little annoying not having the latest and greatest (on a brand new device), which is why I've always been a Nexus fan.
Thanks.

Use fastboot to manually update to the March or April OTA. You can roll back to any factory image if you have problems.
Alternatively, ADB sideload the update.zip of you have that. Instructions are here:

Cool, I'm okay with that. I just flashed my N5 up to April without any problems. N5X is a little different (OEM unlock option etc), but device now has bootloader unlocked and so I can flash April system.img later. [emoji2]

Cool, you want to upgrade every IMG since you're coming from the February OTA. So the bootloader, radio, boot, system, and vendor of using fastboot. If you're using the ADB sideload method, you'll have to upgrade successfully (update twice), from one month to the next to get to April.

Oh bums...and I just spent a good 3 hours setting up my phone! Now I'll lose it all right? Because my data is retained if I just flash system.img, but if I basically flash-all.bat (which is what you're suggesting), it'll be wiped. Is that correct?

Sorry for the delay, I was busy yesterday. I was referring to using fastboot to flash each partition separately, which is detailed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3206930
Manually flashing each partition (except userdata.img) in fastboot OR ADB sideload the zip does not wipe user data. I use fastboot each month to update each partition then regain root in TWRP.
If you go the flashall.bat method, manually edit and remove the -w from the script before running it. -w will wipe the phone in the install process. I have not personally used flashall.bat method, but this is what I have learned from XDA.

Are you unlocked? If so flash the whole image, but remove the -w from the flashall bat file to save your data.

There is a bug with the latest adb (version 25.0.4) that means it can't deal with larger files (link bellow), you need to roll back to 25.0.3 version of adb. Once you do you can sideload it no problems, command:
adb sideload (name of your file)

Seems that ADB is broken. If you install the previous version it will sideload

I would hold tight for a day or two. If you are on a different version there will be an OTA just for beta.
What version are you on now? Maybe the last beta update got you to where the rest of us are today.
Ok so i just tried to install the official OTA update on my pixel xl, the one google rolled out on my phone, and after downloading the file when it gets to step 1 of 2 it says
Coudn't Install
Installation failed
Im worried because my phone is rooted but i have done a systemless root so i could still get OTA updates. Does anybody know if this is an issue or will it be ok if i wait a couple days and then install it??

If it failed today it will fail in two days too. Something you did is making it fail. No big deal.
CZEddie has a guide here on how to sideload it with ADB. Below is how i do it each month.
Third post in the thread below. Just get the 7.1.2 full image instead of the 7.1.1 I mention in that post.
Pay attention to removing the -w from the flashall bat file. That is the key to saving your data.
And second to the last post in the thread are the​ instructions for getting root back.

Problems after updating to O with flashfire.

Got a rooted 5x with TWRP recovery and upgraded with flashfire two days ago, have had problems with WiFi and 4g ever since. It drops connection intermittently, webpages takes ages to load.
I didn't update radio or bootloader with flashfire and I'm thinking this could be the issue? Does anyone have any advice as to what I should try?

I let flashfire use the downloaded OTA. I left the default settings in flashfire so I think it flashed everything except bootloader and radio..
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Ok i went ahead and flashed the bootloader and radio with fastboot today. Hopefully this will remediate the problems.
If there were changes to the bootloader and modem the ota would have included them but give fastboot a try anyway.

Default settings in flashfire doesn't flash bootloader and radio.
Phone has been stable so far, none of the issues I had the previous days. I will update here if it turns out it didn't fix it but so far it's stable.
