Update to 5.1 on rooted Nexus 5

Euphoriasean

Hi,

I just got the OTA update for 5.1 but it won't install as my phone is rooted. I'm currently on 5.0.1 with no custom ROMs installed. It is the first time I rooted an android device so don, know how to manually intall. I'm looking for a step by step guide.

Thanks

Thanks for the link. I'm afraid I need a more detailed guide though. Getting lost at the first step.

What operating system do you have on your computer? [The link I posted is good for linux, but you would have to have a couple of things installed first]

How did you root the Nexus 5 first time round?

Fantastic, and easy way to root Nexus devices. It takes you through process step by step.

(Apologies in advance of this is duff info, but I rooted two nexus devices with it)

I'm using windows and I rooted with SuperSU. I've tried finding a youtube video but can't find one for a device that is already rooted. As its the first time I've done this I don't want to feck it up

Ok so I updated today using the this guide:

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-update-nexus-5-nexus-6-android-5-1-build-lmy47i-via-official-factory-images-1493602

The only part that confused me was step 7 - "copy files to fastboot directory". I hadn't an idea where this was but I found out that this was the android sdk folder where the fastboot.exe is located. Other than that the process was pretty simple.

I ran into the missing system.img error so I followed this guide:
