If you answered, yes, to both questions, I have the solution for you if you have not yet received the update over the air or Wi-Fi.
This work best if you are using Linux. You will also want to back up your data, because for best results, you will be wiping your phone and, no, you do not need OEM to be unlocked (mine is not, and it works).
In America, be mindful that there are 3 zips and you only need 1
1 is for Verizon, Verizon MVNOs
1 is for Japan
1 is for everyone else.
Use the correct zip. -- For myself, being in North America, and not a Verizon customer or on a provider who uses their services (I'm on T-Mobile), I used the one for everyone else
You also want an uninterrupted power supply when you update. It is best that your phone is fully charged and best that you know your PC will remain on when transferring the file
Sure, you can wait for the over the air update. For some that was today and for others, it will be longer. Some providers wait a few weeks more, even.
You can also, technically, skip wiping the phone and attempt an in-place update. But for a faster update, and to ensure you don't have any random issues (usually 3rd party apps), I find it best to perform a clean, fresh installation between major versions (for example, v13 to v14)
Oddly, Google, forwards many of their Beta Testers to use Reddit (of all places) and there is a thread filled with people who are still stuck waiting for the final version (which was released, yesterday).
