Hello all, after spending many hours Googling, rebooting, retrying, and staying up way too late, I am stuck. Hopefully someone can provide some guidance as I'm lost.
Yesterday I received my 64GB Nexus 6 from Motorola. I'm on Verizon. Popped in my SIM and was in business. Got it set up in short order, and it applied 5.0.1 OTA almost immediately. I downloaded the .zip for 5.1 and wanted to sideload it as I didn't want to wait for the OTA to hit my phone who-knows-when. Downloaded all the proper utilities and got the phone to show up when executing adb devices. I followed the sideloading guide and was golden up to the point of adb sideload xxxxxxx.zip. Error is "device not found". I uninstalled and reinstalled more drivers than I can shake a stick at, and the phone just won't show up in Device Manager once it's in Recovery. I did my fair share of Googling before posting here and there are many suggestions - most of which point to the driver - but none of them seem to work. I even tried the NRT by Wug and while it gives me two thumbs up as far as drivers are concerned, no dice once the phone is in Recovery.
I am on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine.
So my questions are:
Any help, suggestions, "hey dummy you forgot this", etc., is most welcome . Thank you in advance!

So my questions are:
- What the heck am I doing wrong?
- Is there a way to sideload with the file on the phone already and not have to use adb?
Any help, suggestions, "hey dummy you forgot this", etc., is most welcome . Thank you in advance!
