No, OTAs for Nexus 5 wont be coming for a few weeks, so unless you wanna be on stock for a few weeks then sure unroot and flash stock otherwise just wait until the images actually arrive in which you can backup everything and fastboot flash the img or you can wait until slim puts out their version which you can just flash
[Nexus 5 General] swag99:
Thanks, and as I understand correctly the way to do it is in this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701

Can I go back to stock by simply flashing original rom?
[Nexus 5 General] droidrage2010:
I would wait to see if the factory images for 5.0 are posted (tonight?) before doing anything... that would be my choice! You can use it to flash the factory image ASAP (as soon as posted)

Rolling OTA's will still probably take some time, maybe even weeks.. ?

Can't wait!
[Nexus 5 General] nicksmizzle:
the OTA updates wont be pushed for a few weeks but that doesn't mean the images wont be up sooner

Oh okay i see, but i read some forums that say that Nexus 5 is rolling out today in batches!
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
Has Lollipop seriously not been posted yet? It is currently 4:36 p.m. Where I am at which means it is 2:36 p.m. Google time. Has the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 not even had updates yet? What is going on? This lollipop day is going to be, lollipop night ?

I keep checking the IMG site. Nothing yet updated for any devices. Ugh...
[Nexus 5 General] Circaflex:
and your point is? The user I responded to specifically asked about flashing stock which I assume he is wanting the OTA, obviously you don't need to unroot to flash the images which I doubt are coming.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I have waited patiently and have avoided posting on the thread until some real "movement" regarding Lollipop happened. I can now see, from AP's post that the bandwagon is rolling, and I'd just like to comment and say how brilliant this thread has been. It's been fantastic reading through the trolls, debates, lol's and this thread, along with the Nexus 6 speculation thread, which got pretty heated at times, serves as a reminder that the Nexus brand truly is the best of the best in the Android world.

I look forward to showing off 5.0 to my friend's who are all Sam-Troll-Ung users ;D
[Nexus 5 General] Circaflex:
No, that is incorrect information. Today is for the tablets with wifi, nexus OTA wont be for coming weeks. Why would google have the nexus 5 get L before the nexus 6 is officially out? They want the new OS to debut on their FLAGSHIP phone not a phone that is a year old. It is like talking to a wall in this thread, too many noobs and clueless people.
[Nexus 5 General] khryx_at:

Doesn't really matter what's rolling out OTA, the AOSP push has begun so we'll all soon have the code.. wouldn't want the OTA anyway!

So since the source is being pushed, and when its complete, what else is needed to compile for nexus 5? Or can that be done immediately. I'm assuming libs and drivers but couldn't that be pulled from the preview?
[Nexus 5 General] datallboy:
Maybe they're planning on a release at 5:00 PST. It would be fitting If AOSP is being updated, the images should be available soon.
[Nexus 5 General] TigerCourage:
Well I hope the official one gets released soon. This developer preview gets on my nerves.

Phablet is a mobile device which is designed to combine the function of a smartphone and a tablet.

Nexus 6 which is definitely a phone has a big screen to accomodate multimedia viewing like tablets are supposed to but in a smaller screen.

Phablet is portmanteau of phone and a tablet.

And phablet means phone and tablet combined. So it will obviously have gsm/ cdma radio plus wifi..

If it still doesnt make sense to you that why nexus 6 is a phablet, see this

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phablet

Look at the freaking History tab. Why will wiki lie about nexus 6 being a phablet :sly:
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
I think I'm gonna flash the Factory Image straight over the latest preview :P.

And, if needed, will wipe data next week.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Better off just using flash-all and copying your files back onto the phone from pc or cloud copies...

Guaranteed fewer issues that way... (even if all your skipping is the userdata....)
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
Yeah but...both builds (latest preview and new aosp build) are very close...I don't think data must be wiped.

yes, so regardless if they put new images up, we will have builds, this also means all your favorite custom rom teams can start cracking at it
[Nexus 5 General] wangdaning:
Not really a fair assessment. Most people posting on here nowadays are not actually fans of android, they just think they are. Not much in terms of reading/researching how it works, just a lot of the same. Once one gets to understanding how it works they will realize why apple is such crap (and my theory apple only competes now because it got contracts to put computers in schools in the 80's and 90's). A rip off company that then closed their product, original?

Anyway, lollipop will be here when it is here, and you are better off waiting for devs to optimize it if you can't do it on your own.

Is it possible for a /noob/ to flash his / her phone with the source when it's all online?

Or is it best to wait until (official) flashes are released?
[Nexus 5 General] GTI6speed:
Back up everything on your SD card and all apps that have built in backup features and export all backed up files to a flash drive or computer. Then it's as easy as downloading a zip file and running a batch file.
[Nexus 5 General] Brum_:
Awesome thanks! One last question, when do we know the entire source is pushed and complete?
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
He's wrong. The directions he gave was for the factory image whenever that is available. Sources are different.
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
This is it guys! The final countdown!

Lollipop by the Chordettes has been in my head ALL day.
[Nexus 5 General] KShion619:
No Manifests, so even if they have one end of the source available, the manifests would either be had to be made, or uploaded, most likely AOSP Manifests will be available very close to when they release images, so dont go for it in my opinion, because, you know, impossibility at the moment
[Nexus 5 General] GTI6speed:
What is the point of Google never giving their users a confirmed date and time for software updates to be available? I hate Apple with a passion, but I feel that the way they go about performing software updates is far superior.
[Nexus 5 General] Highway 55:
You are getting factory images and source code mixed up. Factory images are what you flash via fastboot to get a completely stock experience.

You cannot install from source. The source code is there for developers to build a ROM that we all can flash. Devs can also edit and/or add code to the source to add mods and tweaks to the ROM.

[Nexus 5 General] Brum_:
Thanks, that's the answer I needed :).

Thought / hoped you could build your own ROM / image yourself from the source supplied.
[Nexus 5 General] Highway 55:
You absolutely can build a ROM for yourself once the source has completely been pushed. You just need a capable computer and some knowledge of building from source, or the will to learn :)

I don't have a capable computer anymore and I haven't built anything from source in 10 years. I would have to re-learn everything haha.
[Nexus 5 General] KShion619:
In addition to that, google has a [moderately] quick tutorial for the Linux/Mac users (Windows cant do it simply because of case-insensitivity) so if you have the time, you can build it simply, but its only the open source stuff, so no gapps of course.

Get back yo your own thread.....(pulling by the ear. )
[Nexus 5 General] cmatuk:
Food for thought:

Maybe we already have Lollipop. Think about it, the APIs are final and Google is updating to Material via Play Store Updates. I figure that if they plan on getting 5.0 on a lot of devices, building a stock version that pulls the GAPPS from the store so that it can keep individual tracking of each app instaled and also they make sure their apps get to Android users if manufacturers fail to preload them. To a lot of people this will be like an iOS 7 like update where Android will look a lot different for the better (unlike iOS for my taste) and the main star here despite the whole bunch of code its the Material Design.

So what better way of ensuring that the most people get the "material experience" even if they are not running Lollipop? In the end you can upgrade the OS as the canvas and then use the PlayStore to load the most recent versions of each app. Les hazzle. I figured that since we already have that "flappy android game" we might as well already be looking at the real deal.. We are just missing the fanfare and I guess we could blame Apple for that.

Anyways this is mere speculation and thought brought out of boredom. It's 10:30 in Mexico City if anyone cared.....

In the meantime, Yosemite got an update today soooo..... yeah, talk about lollipop day.

Also.. ART may be a key feature in all of this.... I just want to clarify, I obviously know there will be a brand new factory image and THAT we will call Lollipop but maybe we already have a GM. Apple pulled 3 GMs with Yosemite just before launch.... apples and oranges but hey... may be.
