ADT Bundle. And no sideloading will not wipe your data.
download the ota zip and the SDK tools.
Open the sdk tools folder and navigate to adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\platform-tools.
Paste your OTA zip folder in here.
Then press and hold Shift key and right click (or press 10 whilst holding shift) in that folder then click 'Open command prompt window here.
Make sure your phone is connected and drivers are installed and in recovery/ apply update from adb.
In command prompt window type adb sideload then press TAB until the OTA zip folder is there then press enter. adb sideload foldername.zip
That's it. It will push the update over. Reboot your device and then optimize your apps, It can take a while.

Is there any way I can get kitkat onto my rooted N5 which has a broken USB port.

The USB is 100% dead after an argument with a puddle a while back, and the phone is rooted which means I can't do OTA updates at all, as they all fail due to the OS changes.

Anyone know of anything I could do? Usually I'd just restore to stock and update from there, but I only know of ways to do that via USB...
 
Anyone come across this bug.

It seems Google have messed up with the final Android 5 Lollipop build - it can't see higher than 11 channels on your 2.4GHz wifi

I noticed it cannot see my my 5Ghz connection on my home hub 5. My 2.4Ghz is on channel 6 so no probs there.
 
Its pretty much as you were, nothing much has seemingly changed apart from the aesthetics here and there. Hopefully the battery life improves though with Volta. The standard keyboard is a lot different and notifications are a lot more detailed. The colours are definitely a bit more prominent too. I think the having to swipe thing to get the unlock screen up is a bit of an unnecessary step imo.

They are the main things that stand out for me at the moment.

For me, better than the preview. But still not great compared to other devices.

ATM I am on 38% remaining with 3h SOT and 8h 35m total runtime.
 
can i flash the ota zip using twrp? im currently on paranoid android shall i wipe everything first
 
Done it the Google way but it wouldn't flash properly, had problems with some image file so extracted it and done it manually via adb terminal. Think i was supposed to do a clean wipe.

Nice but wish there was a way to decrease font/resolution and don't like way volume control works.
