Android 5.0 Lollipop for Nexus 10 Is Now Available

The Nexus 10 Android 5.0 Lollipop is now officially available for download. Google officially announced Android 5.0 mid-October and it took them almost a month to release the update for most Nexus devices.

The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Nexus 10 is being rolled out in phases, therefore some users might not be able to download and install it right away. As you may know already, once your tablet becomes eligible to receive the new firmware you should be able to see a system update message in the notifications bar. Tap on it, then follow the on screen instructions. In case the system update message failed to show up, you would also want to perform a manual check under Settings > About device > System updates > Check now. It’s also worth noting that you must run a stock official firmware in order to be able to receive the OTA update.

The build number for the Nexus 10 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is LRX21P and the update file has a size of around 400 MB. It’s recommended to have at least 50% of battery when you start the update process.

If your Nexus 10 hasn’t been updated to Lollipop yet, you can also use the OTA ZIP file to manually force the update. You can also flash a factory image on the device, but you should be aware that this procedure will fully wipe your device. Flashing a factory image is recommended if you are coming from a custom ROM.
