I know Google didn't pull the factory image from their site, but I'm seeing posts scattered around at Google Groups where the 5.0 OTA was pulled for the 2012 N7 due to the overwhelming reports of issues.
I'm asking because my friend just snagged a new N7 at a great price. It has Jelly Bean 4.1 and I'm absolutely certain she will hate this tablet if she installs 5.0. I'm really not up to teaching her how to root, learn ADB, fastboot, etc. She lives 500 miles away or I could "fix" it myself.

I'm quite certain the OTA got pulled. I've got 2 N7 2012s. One got the 5.0 OTA and literally crawled to a halt. I decided to hold off on the other one, and about a week later the notifications about an available upgrade disappeared.
My one N7-2013 never received 5.0, but got 5.0.1 a couple days ago. 5.0.1 works well on this tablet. The 2012-model isn't so much weaker that software tasks should take 20 times longer than on the 2013-edition. I suspect there may be driver issues that cause the problems for N7-2012 and hope there will be an optimised 5.0.1 for that one too rsn.
Hi guys
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have a totally stock 2012 nexus 7 on 4.4.4. It's wireless not 3g and I'm in the UK.
If I check for updates it says I'm up to date. I'm not rooted and running stock android. It had never been tampered with in any way.
Am I missing something?!
Cheers!
Robsa.
Because it has not been pushed yet.

Really surprised it hasn't been pushed yet, even though the factory image and the OTA image are our there already.
An, OK! Many thanks. I take it they pulled the first lollipop release then?

As far as we can tell, and other complaints in other forums seem to confirm, they stopped pushing the update to Nexus 7. Why? We can only speculate. The ways of the Great Google are Mysterious. We are mere children and should not question the Great Google in His Infinite Wisdom.
If Google pulled off the update to fix performance issues some people have been reporting, I'm completely ok with that.
Know it took my wife's N7 2013 quite awhile to update to lolli. Think it was just a few days ago. Just have to be patient as it will come.

I totally agree.
Are you really in THAT big of a hurry to turn your Nexus into a useless piece of garbage? Because that's what will happen after you put 5.0 on it. Hopefully the 5.0.2 image they pushed today will resolve the performance issues.
Pushed to who? Nexus 7 2012?

The 5.0.2 update definitely fixes the performance issues from the initial update to 5.0. Happy with the performance I'm getting. Pretty much the same as what I was getting under KK, which wasn't bad at all.
Initial boot into 5.0.2 might seems slow and laggy, but give it a few hours and it definitely clears up. That's with a clean update.
I didn't get the OTA. I just went to the Google images site and downloaded the official Google image and flashed it. I never got the LP OTA pushed to my device for whatever reason.
Agreed, 5.0.2 seems to have fixed the performance issues I was having.

Wade-0,
Although "push" is a misnomer given how the tech actually works, in common parlance, available for download and manual installation is typically not considered a push. Just sayin.

Considering I used the same terminology from the XDA homepage posting on the topic, maybe you should lighten up there skippy.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-5-0-2-factory-images-nexus-7-wifi/
"Android 5.0.2 has just been pushed into Google’s AOSP repos."
The 4.4.4>5.0 OTA is probably cancelled due to the known reasons.
The 5.0>5.0.2 OTA for the affected people on 5.0 is rolling out, check the other thread for the link.
They will probly wait to see if 5.0.2 fixes the stuff and add some OTA from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2.
Have a read. Sucks for us.

Oh yeah, like they "rigorously tested" the 4.4.4 update that, despite being months behind the release on other carriers, still managed to reduce my battery life from "this easily lasts well into a second day" to "it's dead by the time I get out of work from just idling," even after multiple factory resets?

OK, so let me get this straight. My phone was happy and pretty solid. Battery life was decent and I rarely had to reboot it. I have gone several weeks without an issue or reloading it.
Now, in preparation for 5.0, they push 4.4.4 on me and the interface now crashes regularly, battery life is less than 10 hours and I have to reboot it about every two days. I have missed several calls trying to swipe and answer only to have it ignore my every attempt. How much worse can 5.0 be than the 4.4.4 I have now. Are they testing 5.0 as rigorously as they did 4.4.4? How about letting us go back a version until they can budget enough people to test 5.0?
Funny thing I've been really happy with 4.4.4 and only a few minor issues. Battery life has been the best so far for me.
I'm sure lollipop with be out by the end of March for AT&T anyways. My son in law has it on Verizon and is not really that impressed with it. I'd rather them get it as right as could be than rush it TBH.

I completely agree. My phone was pretty solid and my wife's too...now we are both ready to throw them out a window. No battery life, lots of reboots and lost calls. I'd rather have 5.0 sooner than later, but May 22 my Saygus V2 ships. I may be done with Samsung for a while.

After I got the OTA update to 4.4.4, my phone ran like crap! I downgraded back to 4.4.2, rooted and disabled all OTA apps. My phone is now running great on 4.4.2/NG3.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
I replaced my phone and upgraded to 4.4.4 from stock NG3. Bluetooth issues that annoyed me such as when playing music from scratch from my radio, it would play some random ringtones. Had to manually select Google music. Downgraded to 4.4.2 and had major wifi issues due to OA1 baseband and older ROM. Realized I left re-activation lock on which wouldn't disable in 4.4.2. Flashed back to stock ND3, wouldn't boot. Did the NG3 to NCE downgrade with the reactivation lock on. Was successful and once I upgraded from NCE to NG3 stock, I was able to disable the lock. Flashed my NuclearFallout ROM back on and ran with it. This will be my last Samsung phone, I'm going Nexus next. Can't stand AT$T adding crap to my device without my permission when I'm running stock.
I can't even read the article on my phone, there's so many pop-ups, side load ads, and auto-start videos.
I will say that the 4.4.4 update pushed out to my S5 Active effectively killed my phone.
Windows ME was more responsive than this.

Never read or post links to sites that force you to mute your computer due to invasive ads. When you see sites that look like that with "news" stories, ads that adjust size as you're reading, ads that keep playing no matter how many times you pause, just hit that "x" button up there. Chances are wonderful that you didn't miss out on anything.
I just a week and half ago decided it was time to buy a house (living in a double wide for 14 years). Filled out loan preapproval, next day had answer. Met with my new realtor at houses. Saw five homes, 5th one was THE ONE. Put an offer, offer accepted same day. Escrow opened. Sent loan paperwork and down payment today. Escrow is 30-45 days. Moral of the story? I will have decided to buy a house and move in BEFORE AT&T gives lollipop to ANY Samsung device I own. At least I have something to occupy my time.
So much for this being their flagship phone on AT&T...

don't lament just yet, even tho it is rolling out to the AT&T Note 4 it is still version 5.0.1 and most of the die hard note 4 are sticking with the 4.4.4 at least until we have root or at least until there is a verifiable way to roll back to 4.4.4 if root is achieved. unfortunately for us Note4 owners currently there is no Odin firmware for 4.4.4 and AT&T is releasing 5.0.1 via OTA only.
just hang in the advantage you users have is there are devs with working L roms that you can flash once you get the official release and root is confirmed still working.

All the other searches that I found about lollipop for the Moto X are roms. I didn't find any about official over the air update. You could have maybe sent me a link at least
In the news, the most recent 5.1 OTA update was for the Moto G Google Play Edition. I also an article that said they were rolling out 5.1 for the moto X, but it was misleading; it came from Realty Today, so I find it understandable if they are not in the forefront of android news.

To get the builds go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493
Your build is at the very bottom, if you are wanting to do the OTA updates.
You will need to follow the path up on the builds so
LRX21O from LNX07M
LRX22C from LRX21O
LMY47D from LRX22C
and so on...
But the key to this is how to apply the updates...
Goto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfDSZsr6230 and watch that video. You will need the Nexus Root toolkit from wugfresh.com
It shows you how to sideload the files one by one. I was also stuck with no OTAs from verizon.
So I may have already goofed. I bought a Project Fi Nexus 6 and want to use it on Verizon now. I don't remember what build I was originally on but last night when tooling around, I have gone to LRX22C from whatever I had before. I thought I would be able to get OTAs on my unrooted/relocked phone but everytime I check for one - nothing happens, it says my phone is up to date but clearly it isn't as LRX22C isn't even 5.1.
Do I have to follow the path using WUGfresh or can I just jump clear up to the universal Marshmallow build and be okay?

If you are on verizon, I could not get any OTA's to work and I was on LMY47E.
If you want to go to MRA58K then I would follow the chain. Else you will probably have to wipe all data on you phone.
LRX22C is One step below LMY47E for Verizon.
I did a whole post on how I got it up to MRA58K over here
jdice
Skip the OTAs. Download MRA58K, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata. Voila! You're on Marshmallow with all of your data saved.
Learn how to do things manually and magic like this can happen.
Well, no one told me that I had to do all those shananigans to cover for Googles crap...
Ill probably just return the damn phone and get an iphone... at least the updates there are really like they should, not this crap, this false advertising Nexus devices are updated fast and automatically...
Also, let me talk to my clients, the ones that also bought nexus 6 from the store where I work, some of them with 50, 60+ years, and tell them they have to Download MRA58K, extract all files, flash all imgs except for userdata... I guess they aill all be thrilled at how easy the process is when compared to other phones...
Really guys, get a grip for god sake, not everyone wants to be bothered by such things.
Also, this posts are here to bring attention to a situation happening to alot of people, which is updates not available as OTA on phones, even old updates. If any of us wanted to sideload it or flash it we would have done it already since there 10000's of posts explaning it right... I wouldnt actually need for "nhizzat" to explain it to me!

That's not something you have to do, it's an option. It's also one of the reasons we buy a Nexus, to be able to update manually instead of waiting.
If it's not something you're interested in doing, keep waiting. Or return the phone and enjoy your iPhone. I, for one, don't care if you do nor if you convince your 50+ clients to do the same.
I thought you've bought a more than a year old phone because it was cheap, but still had good specs. Amiright?
So if it sat on a shelf for more than a year, why should it have the latest software? Also why should anybody care that it's not the month old Marshmallow on it? Go and complain on iPhone-not-developers that you can't install iOS9 on a 3G.
This is XDA developers and not the Google support hotline. Here people give you solutions for free, too bad that it's above your skills to try it yourself, but then at least don't be rude to those who try to help.

I did read it. And I didn't understand your anger then, I don't get it now either.
To a 50, 60+ user as you said it, it really doesn't matter if it's 5.0 or 5.1 or 6.0. It matters to you. And if you can't flash it yourself, then take it to a GSM shop, they'll do it for you. Perhaps they'll look at you funny if you say you read about it here.
As for the OTAs, instead of ranting here, you should ask Google support if it's something wrong with their servers.
Edit: I've bought mine cca two montha ago, and itcame with 5.1, and I've got an OTA immediately. Maybe there's something wrong with the updates from 5.0. A lot of people have bought N6s now because of the great price, maybe they'll notice the bug and fix it.

Yes, you seem like an iPhone type person. Psychologically speaking.
Let me guess, one of the 30% of new iPhone users they have been advertising as Android deserters? Not yet, maybe next year, but maybe this actually shows something, and why people go to them... reliability

Great, you found your new love. Bye.
Sent from my Nexus 6 running cyosp using Tapatalk
So I've used Googled a bit (pun intended), and found out that there was some hickups with the n6 and n9 OTAs to 5.1.1, so probably if your device doesn't show updates it's intentional.
OTAs only want to install if your device only has genuine factory contents. So the the update checks everything from recovery to system, and if all checksums match they apply the update. However, sometimes the update died mid update, and from then on either the phone didn't start, or it did, but remained mostly unchanged, but since some files were replaced refused to update.
So I say patience, it's possible the OTAs will be available when they fix this. But for those who came here to XDA to learn, it's easy to do it manually.
