I've read that sometimes the OTA upgrade to 5.0 can fudge up your phone. Can it be done from my Mac, and would that be a good alternative?
P.S. I have an unrooted N5, running 4.4.4.

Sup guys I have a nexus 5 on WiFi only and want to check out 5.0. I don't want to unlock and flash and all that. I'm on 4.4.2 and it says I have a update to 4.4.3. Its been a few days so I know I might not get the 5.0 for a little. But I never even got an update for 4.4.4. Do I need to upgrade to 4.4.3 to get 4.4.4. And then 5.0?

That's correct. Not sure if you'd get a notification for 5.0, but you'd get one for 4.4.4 for sure. Just go ahead and update to 4.4.3.

Thanks ?
The OTA's will come one at a time, in order. So if you're on 4.4.2, you will OTA to 4.4.3. From there to 4.4.4 and then finally to 5.0.
Basically, before 5.0 the way OTA's were done is it would check your /system files and match them up with what is supposed to be there. If it's good to go, the OTA will install. So the 4.4.3 update is looking specifically for 4.4.2 files. If it matches and you update the 4.4.4 will look for 4.4.3 files. @rootSU can explain in better depth how the process actually works and what's changed with 5.0.
Its me again
My question is
Im going to use the 5.0 of Motorola when its officialy release
Im in CM12 actually
But i already have the 41.18 (5.0.1) bootloader
And i only can downgrade my xt1032 to 4.4.2, but i have to update to 4.4.4 first but i think i cant because of the GPT/Bootloader.
Is there any way to skip 4.4.4 or is there a 4.4.4 image for the xt1032 because i havent found anyone yet
Be very careful about what you do from this point. Some people have hard-bricked their phones by walking the road you are on. Their phones are useless until factory firmware images are available.
I suggest you wait until there is a full firmware image for Stock Lollipop. When available, it will be announced here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546251&page=11
Thank you mate ?
I've Been searching for a while and didnt see alot of info on some tutorials for installing GPE Lollipop on a Windows phone. Did I miss the boat or something?
If I understand correctly I need to Root first, flash android to my device and then install the ROM. I'm a little hazy on how to get Windows 8.1 off my phone and put android lollipop on it and then install the GPE ROM.
So while on stock android L 5.0.2 i was unable to install a custom rom either it being bootlooped or getting an error while installing, so i found a video that hepled me downgrade back to stock android 4.4.2 kk after downgrading I've noticed that it wasn't the u.s version of stock it was im assuming the international version. Which i guess doesn't allow you to upgrade to lollipop the build number is KOT49L.D80020Y. So then i assumed i was stuck on kk so i found a couple roms and downloaded them they all installed without a hitch but none of the ones on lollipop have working data connection which is kinda big for me. I have a backup from stock android L saved on my computer(cause i thought you could install that on the device like a rom) but it doesn't show up in twrp. Are there any stable lollipop roms for the lg g2? If not is there anyway to restore the backup i have on my computer to the phone advice would be greatly appreciated.
I didn't like Lolipop so I reflashed Kit Kat. T-Mobile tried pushing me an update which I turned off the notifications for. I'm rooted. I'd like to update to the latest Kit Kat version (presumably 4.4.4).
I wouldn't mind flashing a T-Mobile 4.4.4 image, but I've had very little luck finding any Kit Kat firmware at all.
My question is: How would I go about this? Or Where might I find the right firmware? (I've found a whole lot of dead links)
