The OTAs that I've seen posted so far are for 5.1 LMY47D from 5.0.2 LRX22G. Given that I have been ignoring the notification that 5.0.2 has downloaded and is ready for install, do you think I will see a 5.1 OTA? Or will I have to install 5.0.2 first, or alternatively just flash 5.1 factory image? I've only ever once flashed, out of desperation to get rid of 5.0, and although I got it done it wasn't as straightforward as I had hoped. I'd also prefer not to lose all my data and have to start from scratch if I can avoid it, nor do i want to have to install and live with 5.0.2 for too long.
So, a 2 part question: Will a 5.1 update notice appear if i haven't installed 5.0.2 or is there a way to flash 5.1 image w/o data loss? (I left my bootloader unlocked after the rollback).
