Running Into The Dreaded "missing system.img" Error Flashing Android 5.0 Factory Images? Here's How To Get Around It


**edited**

anyonw using 16gb has flashed factory image and wipe the phone fully? pls let me know ur stock total space. mine is 12.5gb.. not sure if it is correct or wrong.

you can download the OTA version which does not wipe your data. I used that to sideload my N5, no problems encountered.

i know.. i prefer to wipe data so that it will start afresh.. btw anyone using D820? saw on XDA on the thread abt activating the LTE is kinda successful.. anyone tried? just curious.

I just saw this excellent review of Lollipop on the Nexus 5 which I would like to share here with those who have missed it (or those who are like me - have not sideloaded Android 5 and still waiting for the OTA!)

Lollipop is indeed very impressive and will give my Nexus 5 a new lease of life. I think I will save my $1K and not upgrade to the Nexus 6 (the size frightens me!).

In my case, the price frightens me.

Anyone on M1 having 3G connection issues? Mine keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

I'm on the old 3G non-LTE plan. I've already turned off my 4G connection in settings.

EDIT: Yea this only happened after lollipop

Yeah I'm on Lollipop now and the UI is really gooood.

Project Volta doesn't seem to work though as my Nexus 5 is still only able to squeeze 3hrs max when I'm primarily on WiFi. Doesn't seem to be different than when on Kit Kat.

Any idea when is the official release for Nexus 5? Don't want to manually install..Scared i screw it up..

 

[fatboy]

It is officially released. Just that you have to wait for your phone to receive the OTA. Maybe days or even weeks before your turn. Those who cant wait have to do it manually.

But yours is have to flash and wipe all the data right? Any guide that does not have to wipe the data?

 

[Villas-Boas]

How do you do that? Can share?

yes mine i wipe to prevent any conflict.. but when i sign in back my google account, things start to auto download back. only need backup my image and whatsapp and ringtone.

How do you do that? Can share?

u go google sideload OTA, instructions are there.. similar to flashing of factory image.

There is no need to do any of those things if you use the official OTA image to sideload.
