because there isin't one... u need to do it manually
Hey vomer I want to flash this because I'm a crack addict but I don't have the means to manually flash the bootloader and radio right now. Would I be making a stooopid if I flashed anyways? :D thanks for your time btw, love the way you stay on top of things!!

It seems that the animations for the quick toggles added in 5.1 only work intermittently

I can't get the ok google to record my voice for 'always on' mode, and when I test called myself the mic seemed to not work for a few seconds. I'll update this post when I find more.
Who is your carrier? And thanks. I'm on Verizon and as soon as I finish charging I'm gonna back it up and flash and I'll report.

    The day of the M is upon us!

    In typical developer preview tradition since lollipop - I will try and keep this thread up to date with the latest and greatest :)

    Flashables:

    Preview 3:
    - MPA44I (OTA from MPZ79M) (Flashable) (Full Package)
    - MPA44G (Full Package) (Flashable) (OTA)

    Preview 2:
    - MPZ79M (OTA file MPZ79M from MPZ44Q)

    To sideload OTA via ADB:

    On Windows: adb sideload android.zip
    On Mac/Linux: ./adb sideload android.zip

    Preview 1:
    - MPZ44Q (credits to Taassdar for the script)
    - Bootloader & Radio (thanks to okibi)

    Flash Order:
    Flash Radio & Bootloader -> Flash ROM -> Reboot -> Flash SuperSU (optional) -> Reboot

    Factory Images:

    - MPZ79M (Preview 2)
    - MPZ44Q (Preview 1)
    - IMG files (MPZ44Q): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32588
    - IMG files (MPZ79M): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35183

    Google IMG files (manual installation):

    Instructions:

    A clean install is highly recommended when coming from 5.x.x to "M"
    DOES NOT wipe your SD card.

    via flashable file:

    - Boot into recovery (TWRP/CWM)
    - Un-mount /system in TWRP/CWM
    - Wipe: system, data, dalvik and cache
    - Flash bootloader (optional - only needed if new)
    - Flash ROM (be patient - takes a while)
    - Flash SuperSU (optional)
    - Flash radio (optional - only needed if new)
    - Reboot (first boot takes a while)

    via fastboot (manual installation):

    SYSTEM PREP (skip if you already have fastboot/adb setup):

    Let's setup ADB and fastboot

    Windows:

    - Automated: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (follow the steps in the software)

    - Manual Method:

    Download this file and extract the folder called "adb" to your C: drive. Your path should look like this:

    Code:
    C:\adb\

    You will need to open a command prompt window using this method:

    Code:
    - Go to the C:\adb\ folder 
    - hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK 
    - select "Open command window here".

    In order to use ADB & Fastboot from anywhere - use the following steps to setup windows environment variables:

    Navigate to & click on Start > Right-Click on Computer > click on Advance System Settings >
    Click on Environment Variables (under the advanced tab) > Click on New (User Variables) >
    Variables Name: ADB (Or anything you want) Variables Value: ;C:\adb (this is the Path of my adb.exe file)

    Mac & Linux:

    Install ADB & fastboot using: this file

    1. Extract the downloaded zip to your desktop
    2. Open Terminal and type in:

    Code:
    su
    cd Desktop/Android/ (note: Android is the directory extracted from zip file)

    3. Now type

    Code:
    ./ADB-Install-Mac.sh

    Note: By using the method above, your adb and fastboot files are stored at this location on your Mac: /usr/bin/

    ----
    Now that you're setup, let's do the flashing:

    Boot into TWRP to wipe cache, dalvik, data (not internal storage/SD) and system.

    Reboot to bootloader and flash the following:

    • fastboot flash bootloader <insert bootloader img name>
    • fastboot reboot-bootloader
    • fastboot flash radio <insert radio img name>
    • fastboot reboot-bootloader
    • fastboot flash system system.img
    • fastboot flash boot boot.img // OR // fastboot flash boot <insert name of unecrypt boot.img>
    • fastboot flash cache cache.img
    • fastboot reboot

    After you finish the above - reboot in to recovery (TWRP/CWM) and factory reset - then reboot
