Hi,
I recently rooted my phone after receiving the 4.4.3 update. I did not use a toolkit. I used the directions at this link ([GUIDE] Nexus 5 - How to Unlock Bootloader, … | Google Nexus 5 | xda-developers), installed TWRP custom recovery and flashed the SuperSU binaries.
Everything is working well. I would now like to update to 4.4.4 but I know I will not get the OTA from Google since I am rooted.
My question is how can I update to 4.4.4? I prefer not to use a toolkit. Can I just follow the directions at this link ([TUTORIAL] How to flash a factory image | Re… | Google Nexus 5 | xda-developers) and flash the 4.4.4 (KTU84P) factory image. If I do so, I presume I will lose root. Will I also completely wipe my phone (i.e., restore to factory settings) or will I retain my contacts, app, photos, etc.?
Thank you for considering.
