Nexus 4 Android 5.0 Factory Image Now Released

If you still own a Nexus 4, and want to finally update to Lollipop without waiting for the OTA, keep reading!

Google has finally put the official Android 5.0 Lollipop factory image on its Nexus factory images page and it’s got the newest build number of them all; LRX21T. I’m still unsure why it was delayed by two days, but that doesn’t matter at all anymore. The Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA has also started but remember it can take up to two weeks for it to be pushed to your phone as it’s released in batches.

If you can’t wait that long, download the factory image and flash it by placing it in your Android SDK platform-tools folder. Do note this will wipe everything on the phone so be sure to make a backup beforehand!
