After downloading Android SDK, lots of updates, locating the latest Google USB driver and painstakingly following the directions for sideloading the OTA for the Nexus 5 from Windows, I am stuck on the last step.
My phone has returned (in the Device Manager) to having a yellow exclamation point over it. When I attempt to update the USB driver again, I get a Windows error saying "cannot find driver software for your device."
When I attempt to do the 'adb sideload [filename].zip' command, I get "error: device not found."
My phone is sitting with the message at the bottom of the screen that says, "Now send the package you want to apply to the device with 'adb sideload <filename>"...
Is there any hope for turning this around and getting back to a working phone?
Thanks in advance.
[p.s. Is the syntax of the final step really 'adb sideload c

33561.zip' or is the filename actually some subset of all that?]
