[FACTORY IMAGE] Cyanogen 11s XNPH44S

Cyanogen released a factory image on their website a few days ago and I just thought of sharing the information I obtained, so here is the factory image from their site: https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone/

[Q] Updated directly to 5.0.1 from 4.4.4 (Skipped 5.0.0 update) Bootlooping problem

I have got a very different situation here. I was using 4.4.4 (KITKAT). I skipped 5.0.0 (LOLLIPOP) OTA update cause there were lots of rumours about the device going into a bootloop. Last week I DIRECTLY (HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE??) got a "5.0.1" OTA. I mistakenly installed it. So basically I skipped "5.0.0" update and directly installed "5.0.1" and now my Nexus 4 "UNROOTED" device is bootlooping. What should I do?
1. Should I downgrade to 4.4.4 with deleting/editing "-w" thing in "flash-all.bat"? I read somewhere that downgrading wipes all the data. What are my options going back to KITKAT?
3. What should I do to backup? I don't want to flash all my data.
4. Will the deleting "-w" thing work on "5.0.1" factory image?
5. Will the deleting "-w" thing work on "4.4.4" factory image?
6. Do I have to download SDK to perform all the tasks?
Any reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers!
First download official nexus 4 5.0.1 factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and extract all files till you have separate img files like boot.img, system.img etc.
Then download and install Wugfresh toolkit and install all necessary drivers.
Finally use the toolkit to install all img one by one, except the userdata.img.
At the end you will have a full stock working 5.0.1 system, with no data loss.

How long does it take to update?

I DLed the factory image and applied the update via fast boot like I always have. Just been sitting on the animated screen for about 5-10 minutes now. Normally it loads faster after an update.
EDIT: I figured out the problem. The 7.1.2 factory image from Google's site is missing the cache.img file. I just used one of the previous factory images cache.img file and that worked to apply the 7.1.2 update. Not sure if there will be any problems.
You only need to download the full factory image (not the OTA image), extract and flash the system, boot, and vendor *.img files via fastboot. If the bootloader and baseband also need to be updated, those can also be flashed using fastboot.

July images are available.

July images are out.
Installed Monday afternoon (factory image with no -w) with no issues (including the new TWRP build with .img fastboot>boot and full .zip install). There is also a new version of SDK Platform-Tools available.
