I show you how to manually update your Nexus device using the factory image without rooting. I walk you step-by-step to show you the update process from start to finish and in real time. This guide will work for any Nexus and will show you how to update to Android 5.0 Lollipop without rooting.
Just a bit of warning: Do this at your own risk. This process may void your warranty or even cause your device to become “bricked” or permanently disabled if something goes wrong. Please do not attempt this if you are not comfortable with the command line interface and workings of a computer. Zollotech, nor any of its creators will be held responsible for any problems or damage that occurs to your device by following the steps in the video. Again, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
When I attempted to flash my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 to factory using the simple method, it just didn’t work and kept giving me errors. This guide shows you how to use ADB and update using Terminal on a Mac running OS X.
