I've been waiting for the ota lollipop update for my nexus 5 for a while now and it still hasn't arrived. My brother and i both got the same phone under the same carrier and he has the update but i don't. I have installed the developer preview of the os, could that be preventing the update from showing up? Will i have to update manually?
Its a rollout. Not "okay lets give every single person the OTA right now at this exact second".
Just flash the factory images except userdata.img and don't bother waiting.
Who pushes the OTA, google or carrier? I just received my Nexus 5 from Google play. Out of the box it updated to 4.4.4 but now I'm waiting for 5.0. Unfortunately, I don't have a sim card yet, it is on order from Sprint. Would the OTA still arrive without a sim card in it? I am leaving it connected to wifi just in case.

Google pushes it. Just not to everyone at the same time.

With a Nexus device, OTAs are pushed directly from Google. Carriers are irrelevant since every Nexus device is the exact same, hardware and software. Maybe with the exception of the Nexus 6, downloaded only if you have an AT&T SIM in during installation, but its on a separate partition and they're everything is still pushed out by Google.

You have a rooted nexus dont ya?
Yes that is preventing the update from showing up on your phone...
If you manually installed a custom firmware like the developer preview... You need to manually install further updates to your phone in order to run the desired software. If your phone was stock and ran on automatic updates from Google, then your phone would automatically ask for an update (5.0.x) and you wouldn't be waiting around

Software state has nothing to do with whether the OTA will show up. It can show up even on a custom ROM. You just won't be able to flash it properly.
Youre right..but OTA indicator can be disabled by the developer..anyways the interesting thing is that the OP has lollipop Dev preview on his phone..yet he's waiting for an update..for 5.0? He's got lollipop already. He is waiting for nothing to pop up on his phone

If he's waiting for official release OTA on the developer preview, its never going to happen since its pointless to provide an OTA for those in a developer preview since it is assumed they know how to flash properly in the first place.
If he's on KK, he just has to wait.
If he's on Lollipop 5.0 and wants the OTA to 5.0.1, then again he has to wait.
If the phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, but still running stock will the OTA arrive? I have not installed anything custom. No rom, kernal, or anything else.
I'm in the same boat
I actually got my Nexus 5 just two weeks ago. I had a Nexus 5 with Lollipop before and I had a cracked screen so I got a replacement, but with this new one it's still on Kitkat. I've been waiting for Lollipop since I got it and I'm not quite sure what to do. What did the OP do? Have you found a solution?
The OTA`s are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217 and the full images are here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images. These kind of threads are so depressing to read :silly:

I got my nexus 5 two weeks ago. Everything is stock, unrooted and on 4.4.4. It's still waiting for the OTA. My nexus 4 received the OTA for 5.0 and 5.0.1 early dec. immediately after unboxing, it prompted update to 4.4.3 then immediately followed by 4.4.4 which was instant but no 5.0 OTA notification yet.
Hello,
I have a Boost LG G Stylo that's running Android 6.0, the software version is ZV7, should I install the ZV8 update, or stay on the current version.
The update size is 206.8.

Might as well update. It is only a security update. Then there is ZV9 it i a security update also, same advice. The only reason not to upgrade is if you were back at Lollipop 5.1, and that is that you could root 5.1, you can't root anything from Android 6 and up, the locked bootloader from boost/sprint/virgin mobile keeps us from rooting.
I updated my Stylo to ZV8, there's no discernible difference between it and ZV7. Just security policy updates and such I imagine.
I wish I were a more talented Android dev; if I had the skills I would put in the time and effort to do something about the locked bootloader, but alas I don't know where to begin. I've heard soft rooting on Marshmallow is possible with kingroot but I haven't tried.

Thanks for the info.
I tried the soft root a while ago using kingroot, it worked, but after I rebooted root access was lost, and it never worked again.
So I'm about to go on an international trip for 6 months and I know Android N is suppose to be pushing out to our devices soon but I was wondering if I would still be able to download the update? I'll be gone for 6 months so I hope the answer is yes!
Verizon update assistant app for windows. can upgrade firmware when released. just plug your phone in and it checks for updates

OI5??? That version was 9 updates ago from back in September of 2015. Have you been stuck on Lollipop then for 2 years?
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-27682
Maybe time to update then? You've missed out on quite a lot of good updates(Marshmallow and soon to be Nougat). Why don't you want to use Odin btw? It's probably one of the best and easiest ways tools for updating your device firmware. It doesn't affect knox or your warranty or anything either if that's what you're worried about. It will get you quite unstuck from Lollipop too.
Anyhow, here is the most recent firmware version in case you do decide to use Odin:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/127667/N920TUVU4DQC2_N920TTMB4DQC2_TMB/
Maybe your phone is rooted and that's the reason why you don't get ota updates. Flash latest firmware with odin, no other solution
I just selected software update to confirm and my phone does nothing also. I guess t-mobile is getting ready to send the big update to nougat. That's probably why it's not working. Give it a few days and try it again.

If your phone happens to be rooted or knox tripped you'll have to use odin to flash the update.
Gents,
Does anyone here know how to update to 11.0.1.2 if we have incremental or full OTA zip?
For some reason, I'm not able to do local upgrade. Purchased directly from OnePlus in US
Got the OTA update this morning and it has option for local upgrade @mods, this can be closed
The update keeps failing for me (rooted andunlocked bootloader). I don't see a local option on that update page. I also don't see any factory images on oneplus's website for 8T yet.
Should I be able to take the update even though I'm rooted and haven't unlocked bootloader?
Edit: Duh, I had to flash the stock boot.img back first.

I just got a notification to update to 11.0.2 last night. I think it finally rolled out for OP8T.
