VERY IMPORTANT

When the Nexus 5 launches, it will most likely have an immediate OTA update available the first time you turn it on. Please DO NOT accept this OTA update without getting some information for me first! Too often, people get excited when they turn on their device for the first time and see an update. They accept the update and before we know it, we end up losing all data on the firmware that the device ships with.



When you get your Nexus 5 and turn it on for the first time, please gather the following info before applying that out-of-the-box OTA update:



1. The values of ro.build.fingerprint and ro.build.date.utc from /system/build.prop.

2. The baseband version (can be found in Settings | About Phone)

3. The bootloader version (can be found by booting into fastboot mode, the bootloader version will be displayed on screen).

4. The filename for the out-of-the-box OTA ZIP file (if any). This file can be found in /cache or you can check logcat for the full URL. Either one works.



If you need help with any of this, I'll be more than happy to assist! After we have this information locked down, feel free to apply the OTA update out of the box and enjoy your new device!!
