How to manually install Android Lollipop on a Nexus

Fuu­u­u­u­u­u­uck this i’m going Apple, not every update should be a tuto­r­i­al in com­put­er science.

Or just down­load Nexus Root Tool Kit, which can do every­thing for you and install stock ROM on a spec­i­fied nexus for you.

Do I need to have android 4.4.4 before instal­ing 5.0 on Nexus 4 ?

my device is only being recog­nised on adb devices not fast­boot devices

Hel­lo! Will this work on oth­er android devices? TIA! 

Hi guys,
I have android 4.4.4 Kitkat of build num­ber KTU84P on my nexus 5 and it still has­n’t got­ten the lol­lipop update. Before I resort to man­u­al­ly installing it or any­thing of that sort, I was won­der­ing if not get­ting the update at this time is nor­mal, and why is it hap­pen­ing?
Thanks

How about s4 gt i9515

My nexus 4 is just stay­ing at “Google” When i tries to start it? Any­one know what to do?

btw i used a nexus 7 2013 wi-fi (razor) but some­times it says flo
why did this not work

I have to admit, although the video was fast paced, it was thanks to the guys at @AndroidAuthority that I was able to fix my Nexus 5 from a “google lim­bo boot” (not the same as loop boot).

Loop boot(1) vs. Lim­bo boot(2): cer­tain peo­ple expe­ri­ence (1) where their Nexus 5 con­tin­ues to boot up over and over again, dis­tin­guish­able by the phone vibrat­ing as it begins to boot up each time. (2) On the oth­er hand, is what I expe­ri­ence where there was only one boot ini­ti­at­ed but the “Google” screen did not pro­ceed past it. Con­clu­sion: Although (1) vs. (2) may seem sim­i­lar, they are 2 dif­fer­ent prob­lems with 2 dif­fer­ent “reme­dies”.

My sug­ges­tion to those whom expe­ri­ence my prob­lem is to not go into Recov­ery mode right away… try clear par­ti­tion cache and reboot­ing it via boot­loader mode sev­er­al times before you try a fac­to­ry reset or, like me, need­ing to flash the fac­to­ry image alto­geth­er as my last resort.

You HAVE to read the writ­ten ver­sion to ful­ly under­stand the instruc­tions… and the Google Devel­op­ers site is NOT a tuto­r­i­al as they claim, it can be a lit­tle con­fus­ing actually. 

If you would like to skip the whole ADB/ Fast­boot down­loads, which are heavy in MB’s, I sug­gest down­load­ing this “lite” ver­sion I used to unlock and relock my device.

Hope this helps, and again great video/tutorial from these guys.

Hey! I man­aged to delete my OS on my Nexus 6P. I down­loaded the fac­to­ry images, but I don’t have a plat­form-tools fold­er. Can some­one help me install my OS on my phone again? 😀
