No, that doesn't back up all the database files. You have to be rooted to back some of them up.So just pull everything from the 'USB storage device' in my computer, then put it back on after flashing?
Where do you live Podolsky? Nexus 5 16GB, Minnesota no OTA yet.
Does the OTA rollout occur during a specific time period? Or could I end up getting an update at 1 AM?
I tried to side load it using a mac but just couldn't do it.Got tired of waiting and just side loaded the OTA, was kinda surprised how easy it was. 5.0 is great on my Nexus 5 and 10 so far.
