Android 5.0 Lollipop Updates Roll Out for the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013), Nexus 9 and Nexus 10
That’s right folks, Android 5.0 Lollipop has finally hit all those lovely Nexus devices out there and there’s a good chance that you’ve already gotten the update to Android 5.0 if you’re a Nexus users. If not, we’re here to help – at least the best we can. As of writing, factory images for every device aside from the Nexus 4 (no Galaxy Nexus jokes, please) can be found from Google’s support page. If you don’t know how to flash a factory image and you don’t want to lose your save data, then just wait for the OTA to hit your device. Now, if you’re happy to wait for the OTA update (and you’re not running some custom ROM) then below are all the OTA ZIP files that have been “captured” so far (downloads straight from Google’s servers).
