Nexus 7 (2013, razor): 5.0 Lollipop Official Factory Image (LRX21P)

Re: The have you gotten Android Lollipop 5.0 thread!

Got bored and sideloaded it, was surprisingly easy. Just don't forget to re-lock the bootloader after (not sure why this is a thing, but Google seems pretty adamant about it).

You do not have to unlock bootloader to manually install ota file. Now installation of the images Google posted, yes you have to unlock bootloader. I recommend manual install ota zip as you don't have to unlock the bootloader and you won't lose data.

Sideloading the OTA is the way to go. Did it on both the 2012 and the 2013. Only problem I had was older drivers that didn't want to work in Recovery.

This! Adb recognize my device but once I'm in the bootloader it does not. I guess windows 8.1 issue as I had the same issue when rooting my HTC. Went through hell for a work around. What did you do to get it to recognize the device in bootloader? Thanks!

I had to download the latest drivers from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
I ran the update to the drivers while in Recovery from Device Manager and it recognized it immediately.

How do you do that? Does it require using a USB cord? The USB port on my Nexus 7 quit working (surprise surprise) otherwise I would have unlocked the bootloader and sideloaded the factory image already.
