*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

I assume from all the side loading that 5.1 OTA isn't out yet?

 

[loltim]

It is yes, but they are staged rollouts so who knows when you'll get it.

Sideloading takes 30 seconds

Side loaded 5.1 on the wife's phone last night, all is well. Will monitor battery life

 

[Swarfega]

Battery life is still awful on my 5.1 install sadly.

 

[unwashed potato!]

I don't think it is a software issue though.

how was my issue not a software issue if upgrading the software was the start of the issue, and refreshing the software fixed it?

Tried to sideload 5.1 using Wugfresh but couldn't get past the Android red exclamation mark screen. I had to hold down the power button and press volume up. Whether I did that for a split second, 2-3 seconds or longer the device either did nothing or restarted and booted up as normal.

the way did it was, press and hold the power button and quickly tap the vol up button

OK I managed to get a step further. I had a list of different instructions to follow. However I couldn't select any apart from the top one, the volume up/down buttons wouldn't work so all I could select was the power button to select the restart option.

OK, with a bit of faffing around and removing the phone from its cover I'm able to start sideloading.

BUT I've now got the update aborting. The error code is below. Any ideas?

"/system/bin/app_process32" has unexpected contents.
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Sideloaded 5.1 and so far noticed.... nothing different really. I'll have to wait until Tuesday to do a like for like battery comparison.

It's telling you there is something not right about the contents of your package.zip file. Try redownloading it again perhaps.

Got it from this site: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/03/1...1-ota-updates-for-nexus-devices-4-5-6-7-9-10/

Would be helpful if there was a checksum for comparison.

I've downloaded the update from that link through Chrome rather than Firefox and it's still not working!

There's two on there, are you getting the right one?

I've downloaded the 2nd Nexus 5 link having checked both on the phone and in Wugfresh that I'm currently on LRX22C.

Cheers. The links point to the same files as the other page.

Edit: Tried the file from TechTimes and same issue.

sideload?

That's what I'm trying to do with Wugfresh.

That's what I'm trying to do with Wugfresh.

I don't know what wugfresh is. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

You can do 'adb devices' to check that your pc recognises the phone. If it doesn't, check device manager. You probably need the Google USB driver.

It's a cool little automated rooting/unlocking program. My PC recognises the phone OK as I used it to unroot and unlock my N5. Might have to do this manually but by the time I get around to that I'll probably have had the 5.1 update on my phone.
