How to manually install the Lollipop OTAon your Nexus device, download linksincluded

(http://www.talkandroid.com/223247-google-posts-android-lollipop-statue-unwrapped-

video/android_lollipop_statue_screenshot_from_unwrapping_video_01/)

There are two methods for manually updating your Nexus device to Android 5.0 Lollipop. You can flash

the factory image (http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/how-to-install-the-lollipop-factory-image-

on-your-nexus-device/), but if your bootloader isn’t unlocked, it means you have to do a factory reset.

The good news is that there is another method and that is to install the actual Over-The-Air (OTA)

update. Even better news….you won’t lose your data!! Oh wait, there’s even better news…..we have all

the instructions on how to do it right after the break.

You will notice that there is a lot of information here. In fact a lot more than other sites. I remember when

I first tried to do this method and found a lot of guides online, but every single one left out a lot of

relevant info, especially for the newbies. I tried to compile every little detail in an attempt to make it as

easy as possible for you. If you have already done this before, and only need a refresher, a lot of it is

overkill for you.

If you’re running a custom recovery, you can go ahead and download the appropriate Zip file below and

flash it. The below instructions are for those that are running stock, which is the majority of you.

The first thing you want to do is download and install the Android SDK

(https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) if you haven’t already. You only really need ADB so you

can skip the entire Android SDK and download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot (http://forum.xda-

developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790) instead, which will give you just the necessary files.

Note: If you go the route of installing the full SDK, ADB and Fastboot will be in the C:\program files

(x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder. If you use Minimal ADB and Fastboot, you can choose

the directory you want.

———————————————————————————–

Now it’s time to download the appropriate Zip file for your device and place it in the folder where ADB

and Fastboot is. If you installed the full SDK, it’s in the C:\program files (x86)\android\android-

sdk\platform-tools folder. Below are the links. Note: You want to make sure that your device is on the

“From” Build Number that’s listed for each device. To see that, just open Settings > About Phone and

scroll down to About Phone. Now scroll down to the bottom and look at the Build Number. Make sure it

matches the “From” listed below for the device that you’re upgrading.

Note: The Zip file has a rather large name so feel free to rename if it you wish so you don’t have to type

out the entire file name in the CMD Window. Alternatively, you can paste it in the CMD prompt window by

pressing ALT and the Space Bar, then choose Edit, followed by Paste.

———————————————————————————–

Now you need to make sure USB debugging is enabled. If the Developer Options aren’t showing in the

Settings on your device, follow these steps…..

1) Tap on About Phone and find the Build Number.

2) Tap on the Build Number 7 times and the Developer Options will appear on the main page of the

Settings.

3) Tap on the Back key to see the Developer Options.

4) Tap on Developer Options.

5) Check to enable USB Debugging

Before you connect your device to the USB port on your desktop / laptop, you want to make sure you

have the appropriate drivers installed. You can grab them here

(http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html). Since you’re working with a Nexus device, you

specifically want the Google USB Drivers (http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html).

Now connect your device and you are ready to flash the Zip file that you downloaded earlier. Note: You

might get a pop up box on your device stating what the computer’s RSA Key is. Just check Always allow

from this computer and tap on OK

———————————————————————————–

Now it’s time to install the OTA update that you downloaded earlier

1) Open the Command Prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder that ADB and Fastboot are

installed in. Again, if you installed the full SDK, it’s in the C:\program files (x86)\android\android-

sdk\platform-tools folder. Just type cd\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools. If it’s

somewhere else, just navigate to it. Note: To make things easier so you don’t have to type out long

directories, you can also paste it by pressing ALT and the Space Bar, then choose Edit, followed by

Paste.

2) Assuming you device is already connected to your computer via USB and USB Debugging is enabled,

you need to start it in fastboot mode. Follow one of the two methods below.

A) Type adb reboot bootloader

B) Turn your device off, then turn it back on while holding down the relevant key combinations for

your device. For many devices it’s Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. You can see what your

device’s key combinations are here (https://source.android.com/source/building-

devices.html#booting-into-fastboot-mode).

4) You will see an Android with a red exclamation point icon, press Volume Up and the Power button at

the same time.

5) You will get a new menu. Navigate to apply update from adb and select it by pressing the Power

button.

6) In the CMD window (make sure you are in the right directory), type: adb sideload [the full name of the

file].zip (Note: without the brackets around the file name). If your device isn’t recognized, see below.

7) The update will install and reach 100%.

I hope this guide helped you. Please let me know if I missed anything.

If you want to learn how to flash factory images, make sure to check out our guide on that here

(http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/beginner/how-to-install-the-lollipop-factory-image-on-your-nexus-

device/).

8) Reboot and enjoy your new update!!

———————————————————————————–

If your computer doesn’t recognize your device, than you do not have the appropriate drivers installed.

Make sure that you installed the Google USB Drivers (http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html)

that I mentioned earlier. If you still have an issue, follow these steps….

1) On your Windows desktop, Go to your Control Panel then Device Manager.

2) You should see Android Phone under Other Devices with a Yellow ! mark on it.

3) Right click on it and choose update driver

4) Choose browse my computer, then Let me pick from a list.

5) Select Android ADB Interface.

6) You should hopefully now be good to go.

Hi, I must add after a lot of trouble shooting that after selecting "Recovery" the redexclamation point appears, but in other to get the update menu you need to FIRST hold thepower button, and THEN press the up button. If you simultaneously press the two buttons asyou describe in the guide, nothing happens.

Besides that small difference, great tutorial!!!!!△ ▽

Still Confused • 10 hours ago

The only step I had trouble with when I read other "how to" guides was figuring out how toopen the command prompt. Your guide is detailed and very helpful for beginners but pleasedo include a little more information about opening up "the Command Prompt in Windows." Ihave no idea how to do that. A google search said to type in cmd in the search bar on theStart Menu but there is also a command prompt exe file in the fastboot folder. I'm not surewhich I'm supposed to use.

No longer confused • 10 hours ago> Still Confused

I figured it out. To open Command Prompt in Windows type CMD (or commandprompt) in the search bar of the Start Menu. When the black prompt window opens, ifit's not already in the bare C directory (mine was in my personal files), type cd\ (enter)and it will then take you to the C: directory. Then you can type in cd\XXX where XXXis the filepath of the file

You should get at least a popup on your computer showing that it recognizes thedevice. However, you can still proceed, and if your computer isn't recognizing it, youwill no soon enough when you try to initiate the adb command. If your computer isn'trecognizing your device, you need to make sure you have the drivers installed andUSB debugging is turned on. Grab the USB Drivers here -http://developer.android.com/s...

If you installed the full SDK it's C:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools. If you installed the minimal version, then it's whereyou placed it. The Zip file is the file you downloaded. You might haverenamed it. Just type in the exact name.

start over from scratch - when you get to the part where you need to allow yourcomputer access on the phone (the RSA part of the instructions above) make sureyou check always allow.

"Just check Always allow from this computer and tap on OK"

If you don't, it stops you at the exclamation point screen. △ ▽
