So, my N5 is rooted, so I keep getting the error when I try to install the update that I got OTA.

I either need to unroot and reinstall, or I could just push the files with Wug's.

Does anyone know where I can get that 5.1.1 update? I think it's just 15 hm. I seem to have downloaded the 581mb factory image.

Thanks.

You can't update a phone that's been rooted. (The update, whether you push files or get the update OTA) is supposed to fail if there's any sign that the ROM's ever been rooted [you root the firmware - which is what gets updated - you don't root the phone itself], since it could brick the phone.) You're going to have to flash the stock ROM, then you'll get the OTA update. (Then you may or may not be able to root 5.1.1, so find that out first, then decide which is more important to you if there's no root for the 5 for 5.1.1 yet.)
