Guys .... I'm having problem sideloading 5.0.1 OTA. I get error

"/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)

What seems to be the problem? Googling left and right but still can't figure it out.

Some info
1. Stock 5.0 LRX21T
2. Stock Recovery
3. Rooted with CF

As you already suspected, /system/bin/install-recovery.sh is where CF Auto-root modify to gain root access. You can manually restore this file and apply OTA.

I just check install-recovery.sh and yup you are right. It's been modified by CF auto root.

Unrooting should restore back the install-recovery.sh right?

Yes That's a better idea. Good luck.

hi, my nexus 4 is stock rom with custom kernel. Can i just flash the 5.0.1 OTA Zip (16.7mb size) using TWRP or do i need to return to stock kernel?

No. OTA only work with stock ROM and kernel.

Last time cannot. Now, I'd say, try it. If fail, no harm.

PS: alternatively can find out by extracting the Ota zip. If there is boot.IMG mean will work without restore to stock. If got boot.IMG.p mean need the stock kernel.

Thnks..Need to do backup first. So how u update without lose data? Delete the “-w” flag from the ‘flash-all.bat’ script?

Yup.

ok thanks
Oh ya.. it does have img.p in it

Hahaha as usual. If one talks a tiny negative tiny about android someone of the fan boys here will get butthurt. Android fans are difficult to be neutral. I used to think android os is better but now i realize not in every aspect.

Hahaha, not going to laugh at you annoymous1234 but this iOS-or-android thing is so old.

If your intelligence cannot handle rooting and customizing android, just be gone. Go play with stock iOS or jailbreak huhu.

There's no point to compare lol, we're happy campers of nexuses and I never even need to use toolkits like WUG or CF autoroot. ADB, TWRP and custom roms are already super easy to use and flash my way.

Just go and buy your IP6+ already

Btw @cowithgun, how you manage to have such flat line in your battery. Do you even use your phone actively? lol

of yeah of course, jumping ship is fine with me.
u're right since everyone here is happy, let's agree to disagree. each one got their opinion, no point arguing

I miss the good ol days in Android development where communities were true enthusiasts back then.

Nowadays there's just buncha wannabes (mostly iOS converts) spamming the development with their stupid whines, then put the blame on the OSes "flaws" and other people for their stupid mistake

that's my normal usage.. mostly just picking up phone and replying to message...

as i was trying to test if Google Fit and Whatsapp are eating battery during idle, i didn't do anything like playing game in that 24 hours... (but has some light browsing...)

just completed the last Beach Zomboss... beach world is after the Dark Age

Can you stop using CE.

Haih ...

Unroot, restore stock kernel and try to sideload OTA again but still with the error.

Hmmm maybe try updating from the factory image.

It should be /fastboot update image.zip without -w right?

I always use factory image. Work all the time.

Here is the steps:



At this point, phone in green-android-mode.



If you see something like device not found, etc at this point, that mean your adb drivers is not the Universal driver. Follow these steps to make it Universal (https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3345520&st=600&p=71498268&#entry71498268) or download it from XDA.



The last fastboot is without "-w". That will keep all your data and settings. You will lost Root and custom recovery. Easy to get it back.

You have to ask yourself... is it more fun with CheatEngine, or less fun with CheatEngine?

It's an individual choice...
