Android Police reports that the process gives some people a missing system. Its post also describes a fix for the error, so you can head to the site and follow the instructions if you get the same error.

However, this requires you to manually flash all the files in the update, and has also led to several people reporting errors such as missing back buttons and phone memory being downgraded to 16GB, with a complete system wipe being the only way to recover from the problems, so we would strongly recommend waiting for the OTA update if you get the system. As you will see from the nature of the instructions, this is a slightly technical process.

So while you should be able to update your Android device to Lollipop by following these steps, for most users our recommendation is to just wait for the OTA update to pop up on their phones.

If needed, unlock the device's bootloader through your computer using the command terminal and executing: fastboot oem unlock. Execute flash-all. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware s , and operating system. For this to work, you need to have added the folder where ADB and Fastboot are installed to the system's path as described in step 2. When this is done, Google recommends that you lock the bootloader for security.

You can do that by booting the device in fastboot mode while still connected via USB, and using the command terminal to execute: fastboot oem lock. That's how you can install Android 5. We still recommend that you just wait a while until the OTA update arrives on your device. For more tutorials, head to our How To section.
