If your phone is not supported anymore (Nexus 5) you can install a custom rom to have all security related updates on it.
It first the phone must have an unlocked boot loader .
Install TWRP
Download twrp from: https://twrp.me/devices/lgnexus5.html
I used https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/twrp-3.0.2-0-hammerhead.img
Make sure developer mode is enabled on the phone.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery d:\Nexus5_backup\recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Make sure to hold directly volumn down + power.
Now select recovery mode and you should see the new recovery image loaded.
Backup
Connect a OTG usb adapter and a USB stick (formatted with FAT32). In TWRP select backup and select OTG as backup destination.
Install custom rom
I use the pure nexus project: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-pure-nexus-substratum-t3477787
Tested with:
- pure_nexus_hammerhead-7.0-20161121-HOMEMADE.zip
- PureNexus_Dynamic_GApps-7.x.x-20161009.zip
