Installation instructions
First time installation
A full wipe is required to upgrade to Android 5.0. (I also strongly recommend a full wipe if you installed any other Android 5.0 ROM)
Step 1
Download and extract the ZIP file
Step 2
Flash all 3 files to your phone via fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
NOTE: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE - INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD-CARD! A full backup is therefore recommended.
Upgrading from a previous 5.x build
A full wipe is NOT required while upgrading from an old 5.x build, so userdata.img must NOT be flashed during the upgrade process:
Step 1
Download and extract the ZIP file
Step 2
Flash only boot.img and system.img to your phone via fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
Google Apps installation
After booting your phone for the first time, download the gapps package and push it to /sdcard using adb (or MTP):
adb push gapps_50_yuga_004-00cb.tgz /sdcard/
adb reboot
Your phone will now reboot and automatically install gapps during the boot process. (note that your phone will reboot twice - this is normal).
I strongly recommend to keep the gapps package in /sdcard/ after the installation finished: Upgrading to a new release will erase your existing gapps installation - but if the package is still present in /sdcard/, it will be automatically installed during the first boot.
