Manual Nexus Update With TWRP, SuperSU, and ElementalX

  • (hopefully) instructions for taking OTA updates when TWRP recovery is installed

  • Will update, reflash TWRP, regain root, and (optionally) reinstall custom kernel

    1. Download these things:
    • latest factory image (what you're updating to)
    • latest TWRP
    • latest SuperSU
    • (Optional) latest ElementalX
    • Note: Check info at all downloads to make sure there are no incompatabilities (warnings about anything)

    1. Unzip factory image (twice)

    2. Install Update:

    adb reboot bootloader fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot flash radio radio-angler.img fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot erase cache fastboot flash cache cache.img fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash system system.img fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

    3a. If you have a modified boot image, flash it now (you probably don't need to do this)

    fastboot flash boot modifiedboot.img

    1. Reflash latest TWRP:

    fastboot flash recovery <twrp_latest.img>

    1. Boot to recovery (using phone menu)

    2. Install latest SuperSU zip using TWRP menu

    3. (Optional) Install latest ElementalX using TWRP menu

    4. Wipe cache/dalvik

    5. Reboot system (If you are prompted by TWRP to install SuperSU, select NO)
