Will Android L Developer auto-update?

I set my Nexus 5 up with Android L Developer edition but now I am going to sell the phone. The person wants me to leave Android L on it only if it will update OTA once it's officially available. Does anyone know if it will? Also if I factory reset with Android L installed what will it go back to and/or should I expect any problems? Thanks for any help.
No .. I dont think we are going to get OTA update on L preview ..
You might have to flash the factory image of L release when it comes out .. So i suggest you and the buyer to go back to KitKat , if he is ok with flashing the image again .. Then leave it .. And if you format with android L installed .. It will be the same as any other android versions . and it will not be restored to KitKat when you factory reset it .
Btw you should have asked this question in android L preview discussion thread..
To get the ota, you are going to have to go back to completely stock, unrooted. .. and I believe even re lock the boot loader

Bootloader locking/unlocking will not impact OTA.

Thanks... I wasn't 100% on that.... suffice to say, I think the only ota I ever had was the first time I turned on my new nexus 5, it was the first thing it wanted to do
If you're going to sell it I recommend returning to stock, locking boot loader and resetting tamper flag

H60-L02 return to stock help

Hey guys,
Have had my Honor 6 H60-L02 FDD-LTE for little under 4 hours now
Already unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM V.6.0.5.1
I installed the MIUI v4.9.6 Rom and i don't really like it, it keeps coming up saying com.android.phone has stopped, and when you update to v4.12 it gets stuck in a boot loop
So I don't think MIUI is very stable for the phone, and I want to install EMUI v3.0 (This isn't lollipop yet is it?)
Long story short, I figure i have to reflash the stock recovery firmware because CWM wont install an Update.App file
I downloaded the Honor 6 Multitool
When i get to install recovery, i choose my honor 6 model then it asks for EMUI 2.3 or 3.0, i tried all the 3.0's and they dont load the recovery, just go back into android
so i tried some of the EMUI 2.3's, i have no idea what each number at the end represent and which one suits my phone... i.e B118SP02?
So that is what stage im at, i have MIUI v4.9.6 with CWM V.6.0.5.1
And i am trying to install EMUI v3.0 stable
Any help would be pretty awesome, can say im slightly disappointed with the availability of roms for this phone, but hopefully this will change in the future
Ok ...
i will start from beginning , i will tell you how to get the last stable update for your phone .
witch is B310【EMUI3.0_Android4.4】.
First Download it from here it's 1GB .
or from here (you should translate it first and click on stable and download) .
Second continue with this link .
Attention : Do step 6 before 5 .
Or go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57274153&postcount=1
scroll down to: 3 Button Restore not working (If you change between variant example L02>L12) Or Partition been changes and cannot restore back Stock version. Use this steps below : -
Links to the revert package etc are in the post too
Tried Myahyam's method and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop (shows the honor, powered by android splash, goes black then repeats the splash)
need to unbrick the damn thing now
im following the honor 6 multitools unbrick method, its in fastboot transfering files now, will report back when its done.
Just out of curiosity, besides MIUI and EMUI, what other roms are available to flash using CWM or TWRP?
Okay, managed to get CWM back on and sideload the MIUI4 rom again, just to prove to myself that I didn't brick my phone, so that parts all good!
I will have to try your method another time Julsen, i fly out on a 3 week holiday tomorrow morning, and want to load some games and movies to the phone to watch on the plane.
Hopefully when I come back in 3 weeks, there will be a better choice of roms to install using CWM/TWRK
If not, I will attempt your method Julsen, at least i now know how to fix any softboot/bootloop problems, good learning experience all up!
Here u will find couple of custom roms flashable via cwm

Help me please!
I am having exactly the same problem that serpent is having.
Did any1 found solution?
Hey all, back from my 3 week trip
@nrpetonr i went to that site and grabbed two roms to flash using CWM, they both seem to put it into a boot loop
This phone is strange really, ever since i have unlocked the bootloader and put on a custom rom, its been the only rom that has worked, the rest all put me into a bootloop
Maybe i should try TWRP instead

Nexus 5 Stuck on bootloop -different

Hi Im new here sorry if i post in the wrong section.
My nexus 5 was purchased the date it came out and was never tinkered with (root unlock bootloader etc). On September 15th I received a OTA security update ~20mb from google, thought it was just an regular update so I accept it. After rebooting from the OTA update my device was just stuck at those flying circles boot animation (I left it there for 6hrs)! I contact google support and did all the steps, reboot, wipe cache in recovery, factory reset in recovery, with no success. Also i was told i'm out of warranty period so they cannot do anything about it even though their update broke my device... I then decide to take my own steps and unlocked the bootloader and flash the factory images from google. However, no matter how many times i tried flashing the 5.XX images following one of the XDA guides my device is still stuck at the flying circles! Even more weird flashing older 4.X.X images worked! But all the GApps crashes while I flashed the 4.X.X images and I do not know how to fix it. Doing an OTA update from google for 5.0 while i was in kitkat will put me back to the flying circle loops again. Can anyone help me here? I just want a normal phone thats why i never root of anything...
Thank you

I think I flashed my device by mistake bcoz afta my phone bricked. I managed to unbrick my Oneplus one n now in about phone in the settings it says I'm running 5.1.1 lollipop. But my problem is I had to reset my phone for a different reason n afta reset it still says in about phone in running 5.1.1 lollipop but it's not displaying lollipop on phone is just like it was wen I first bought the phone. I want to know what do I do next?? Oh n also phone keeps asking me to do system update to 5.1.1 , I've tried but obviously phone doesn't recognize I've already done this update early so wants to update to 5.1.1 again. So what next?? For example do I have to root phone now so I can get 5.2 running on phone or what ??? Please help I am new to all this n haven't got a clue what I am doing???

There is nothing called 5.2
Just ask in this sub-forum's Q&A, Help and Trouble-shooting section for further help specific to your phone: One Plus One - XDA Forum
I'm a bit confused. If you installed an official ROM through the stock recovery, your probably OK. Maybe there is a newer 5.1 release than the you installed.

You may go back to KK, but no chance with Lollipop . Kitkat had a new bootloader, there is no downgrade possible.
Make a full wipe, flash 5.1.1 swith Odin, again a full wipe, and it should be fine. MM is pain, many people have the reboot-issue!
