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.

Hey Xhozi,
Sorry to hear about that bootloop issue.
For starters if it is a brand new phone with warranty, give it back and get it repaired. They might give u a brand new one (if they do then please dont upgrade it to Android 6).
(At your own risk ->)if you don't have warranty, try downgrading the boot loader and System to Android 5.1.1.
If that doesn't work then, i don't know what to do. Cause I am having the same issue, weirdly if i keep mine in the freezer it works for an hour or half and then again restarts .

There is a long thread concerning this issue, and for me I got the problem solved, but you never know. Just see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/mm-update-lockscreen-set-to-fingerprint-t3366375 and give it a try.
Reboot Problem
Dear All,

when reach battery in 20% and down, phone restart start.
is this battery problem ? ya others.
can i downgrade 6.0.1 to 4.4.4 firmware update?
after this official 4.4.4 update via odin, is that use again indian sim card in phone ?
other wise unlock again ?
please help.......
Hi guys, so i just purchased a Galaxy S8+ verizon edition. I inserted my SIM and the phone fully works . I was not happy with having Verizon's firmware so i flashed an older AT&T firmware. After flashing i restarted my phone and immediately got a software update for G955U1UES2AQL1. But i have not been able to update my phone any further than this and I'm stuck with 7.0 on the dot. Any way i can force an OTA updates so i can get Oreo?
so i flashed to international rom then updated to android 10 and when i put in any tmobile sim card it says
Network Lock: This device can be remotely unlocked if eligible.
Please use the "Unlock" application to unlock the device.
Make sure the device has an internet connectivity to use the "Device Unlock application".
there is no unlock app on the android 10 open beta, im rolling back to android 9 to see if it fixes issue...
Rolling back does fix this issue but I am not sure why the issue exists in the first place. I did this yesterday - had the same problem and I used the rollback and phone was fine again.

Hey forgot to update the thread, yes you are correct. Just rolled back. Really sucks because Android 10 is a really big difference to me. I just sold my pixel 3xl and I'm already used to it. I'll probably give it another try when there's an update.
Hello,
I need help with my S9+ from ATT. It is still stuck at Android 8.0. I am no longer with ATT and am no longer in the US (Asia now). When i try to do a software update on my phone, it says it is already on the latest update.
How am I able to get the latest update? I have yet to try Odin as I am new to it and am scared that it will brick my phone. Is there any firmware and guide on how to put it to my phone? If successful updated to android9.0, how am i going to get oneUI and subsequent updates?
Is it also possible to make my att phone into a phone that is directly bought from samsung store? So that I am able to get updates directly from samsung?
Please advise. Thanks.
Regards
