June 's Security Update Factory images and Ota.zip

​

Factory Images for Nexus Devices

OTA Images for Nexus Devices

 

To apply ota.zips

step 1: make sure you have the latest adb
Step 2: Download the correct image for your device.
Step 3: Make sure in settings you have developer options on and enable USB debugging
Step 4: Plug in cord to computer and type (adb devices) and watch for your device number to pop up
Step 5: Type: adb reboot recovery
Step 6: press and hold Power button first then volume up (or some devices Volume up first then Power)
Step 7: select "apply update through USB"
Step 8 (optional): If you find yourselves getting an error message (device not connected) when trying to adb sideload and you have the latest drivers and adb. Try unplugging and replugging your phone for this step.
Step 9: adb sideload <file name> ...I personally just drag and drop the file.
Step 10 (optional): I will normally wipe the cache after but it is not required.
Step 11: reboot and enjoy.

No, as long as you do not click on the wipe data option instead of wipe cache. The ota.zip is basically like getting an ota from Google or carrier. You don't have to have an unlocked bootloader either.

 

Wow. I really hope Google actually step up and release the carriers and manufacturers update rankings.

Weird. I started to ask if you sure you were rooted until I read the name. You switching avatars on me had me thinking you were a noob for a second. But I then realized that you been around the block long enough to know the difference between a rooted and a stock device.
