How to turn your Nexus Android 5.0 factory image into an OTA update

Google is known for always updating its Nexus phones and tablets with a new version of Android before any other device. However, it can take weeks or months for a new update to reach everyone – even on Nexus devices.

This takes a lot of time because updates are always released in stages, allowing the company to pause the rollout and, in the event of an incident, only a small number of users are affected.

Fortunately, Google allows tech-savvy users to manually install a new version of Android using the official factory image for supported devices. This means you don't have to wait weeks to update your phone or tablet.
