Why post an early, misleading article? I hate when ‘newsy’ companies preemptively anticipate the future by incorrectly stating something then coming back later in their article to point out their lie from above. GARBAGE.
Article is misleading, this are Factory Images for the Nexus 5, Nexus 10 and Nexus 7, this will factory reset your device making you loose all your data. OTA images are capable of updating your device while keeping all data intact. NOT OTA.
Can’t download the Nexus 5 zip

These are *NOT* OTA. They are Factory Images and can’t be installed on bootloader locked phones.
The links are **FACTORY IMAGE**
**NOT OTA**
Nexus 7 and 10 appear to download the ota image. Nexus 5 is still linked to the factory image
Yep, they are all factory images. I didn’t check the links properly

They even stated which links they had, wrong. It say Nexus 5, 6. and 9 above the Nexus 5, 7 and 10 links.
Came here the nex 5 ota… FAIL!
The Nexus 7 OTA is for the 2012 version aka “nakasi”.
Too heavy, frustrated. :(
