I had the yakjuxw and flashed it to yakju. I received the past OTA updates just fine, but when I received the message saying there's a new update for my phone, I went ahead and downloaded the 130Mb -140Mb size update and when it asked to restart my phone, it installed maybe a third of the way and the the little android went on his back and "collapsed" and I had to take out the battery to restart my phone. I tried it again and the same thing happened.
What could be wrong? :crying:
Thanks for the help guys.
When you flashed to yakju, did you also flash the proper radio and bootloader?

In order for the OTA to work properly you have to have stock recovery, radio, bootloader, and system files. You can't have modified anything except an unlocked bootloader.

so what you're saying is I have to re flash yakju?
I restore my phone to factory settings first?
I had yakjuxw also, it comes with a different radio. flashing to yakju (or takju) is not enough. you have to flash the radio also. look for efrant's post in how to do it and get it, it's in these forums, that's what I followed.

sorry, just re-read the question, what you describe happened to me when I deleted the recovery folder from the update file. The unmodified file updated fine. But then you have to root and install clockwork recovery again, which is fairly easy too.
Another issue I had prior to that was when I tried to flash the update and I didn't realize that the file didn't finish copying to the phone. check file size it should be around 147mb I think. I hope one of these tips help!

That is because you do not have the XXLA2 radio installed. The last update did NOT update the radio, so it didn't check to see if you had the XXLA2 radio installed and, hence, did not fail.
I had exactly the same problem, however as everyone is saying; Just flash the xxla2 radio again and the problem is solved!

It doesn't. If you've got an unlocked bootloader, just flash the radio via Fastboot.

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.

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.

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

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

If your drive is encrypted you cannot root without losing all your data. You will have to save your data and files for restoration after rooting.

Wrong. See the post above yours.
Also flashing an old vendor image makes TWRP work even if the phone is encrypted. So one could flash TWRP, an old vendor image, SuperSU, then the correct vendor image.

It does work, but Android pay will not if you use it. Atleast that was my experience.
For sh!ts and giggles I unrooted (by flashing dp5 with the -w flag removed) then rerooted with CF-Autoroot and it didnt wipe /data. Just thought Id post this for anyone else that may have the same question.

Some yes. Download the kernel zip you want to install and unzip it. If it contains the boot.img then flash that with fastboot.
Though now that twrp works with encrypted phones on N there isn't a good reason not to use it.

If there were changes to the bootloader and modem the ota would have included them but give fastboot a try anyway.
