You can manually update your Android phone with latest Android 5.0 Lollipop version. Here is the full tutorial to update your phone with latest version using OTA downloads.
Google announced last week that Android 5.0 version will be available for most Nexus devices in the coming weeks. You know that coming weeks could be a pretty long wait. So here is the quick guide to update Android 5.0 version manually.
How to Update Android 5.0 Lollipop Manually :
» Install ADB tools in your computer first : (If you don't have ADB Tool than, Here is the link to download.)
Note : Downloading the SDK and making sure ADB is correctly set up is probably the hardest part, but this guide is for those who have already done this.
» Connect your phone with PC
» Download the OTA : After the ADB setup you need to download the OTA file for your device.
Here is the list of OTA file download links.
Note: If there is more than one download option, that means that there is more than one build of Android KitKat available for your device, and you need to download the one that correlates.
» Now Restart your Android device and hold the volume button while your phone turning on untill you see 'Recovery Mode'. This should present you with the below screen.
Now, you need to hold the volume up and power button down for three seconds and release volume up to reveal the menu. From that menu, select “apply update from ADB” and plug your device into your computer if you haven’t already.
» Install The OTA Now : Open the Command promt in your PC, and change the directory to the location of the OTA file (For example: cd /Users/<yourusername>/Downloads/). Now run the command “adb sideload <name of the OTA file>”. The name of the OTA file is going to be a long string of letters and numbers and will end with “.zip.”
It should look like below image :
