I upgraded from 5.0 -> 5.02 for N7 2012 using the guide below and I would be a novice at this kind of thing.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/13/android-4-2-build-jop40c-rolling-out-to-the-nexus-7-now-manual-download-link-available/
Link is for old build but works the same, just get the newer file. There is a 15 second ADB tool as well.
Mine was crashing a lot. Hoping that improves.
I can't get any luck with this, downloaded ready to go and my USB port packs in.
Update OTA update notification appeared earlier only to say no update available when asked to install .
Grrrrrrrrrr

Relocking the boot loader doesn't wipe the device, but if you need to unlock it again it will wipe it again!
Why do you need to lock it again?
It probably best to leave unlocked!
Hi, reason I was going to try and relock it is I need to add an exchange email account for work and I had to encrypt the phone to do so. Even though the phone is encrypted the mail app says encryption still needs to be done. Had a check online and one post said that unlocked bootloader can have an effect (though of course this might be bollocks) so thought i'd give it a go

Does your device request a pin on boot up, maybe check your security options before relocking the boot loader!Hi, reason I was going to try and relock it is I need to add an exchange email account for work and I had to encrypt the phone to do so.

It seems it is problem with lollipop, rather than a locked boot loader!0 -

You mean a brilliant, powerful OS, whose potential is only realised by a few, whilst the majority of the install base gives out about a desdign / colour change?
Then Yes, Lollipop is the Vista of Androind :pac:

No I mean its like Vista in that it is probably great underneath but there are too many issues and faults with it to be really great.
Performance - it struggles to run lag free on some high end hardware - we were told Android would progress to allow it to run on the lowest level of hardware
Design - changes to design are all well and good but is it really necessary to have iPhone like animations when what we had were perfectly great. Leave the snazzy animations to a custom launcher if someone wants to install it. It seems that the whole system is unnecessarily bloated.
The design, functional and flow of the system seems to have taken a step backwards. Its now a lot harder to find your way around settings and also the whole ergonomics of the system is not as good as it was before (who came up with the idea of having a pop up show an incoming call and that pop up being at the top of the screen where its hard to reach and click on the Answer or Reject option - why not have the pop up show on the bottom of the screen where its easy to reach when holding a phone in one hand.) I shudder to think of how I would teach my 73 yr old mother to use an Android Lollipop phone even to accomplish many basic tasks when she can use an iPhone with about 10 mins tuition.
Basic issues like memory leaks and wifi drop outs should not happen in what is version 12 of an OS.
These and many other issues and nuances that have shown up are going to get flushed out hopefully. Maybe the next iteration will be similar to Vista progressing to Windows 7.0 -

Ah shíte, I may have opened up a can of worms. That's what I get for trying to be funny on a serious thread, right?
I can only go with my personal experience from having installed 5.0 on my N5 from about mid November, but I can say in the past 8 weeks, I've probably rebooted my phone a few more times than the previous 8 weeks to that.
Apart from that, the rest is asthetics pal and while I agree that I would hate to be showing others how to use it, I have absolutely no troubles using it myself.
It really is like my relationship with Vista after all. I love it, but everyone else seems to hate it :eek:0 -
