New Android 5.0 Lollipop factory images for the Nexus 5, 7, 10 and 9
Android 5.0 Lollipop is upon us! The Nexus 9 tablet tablet has been on sale for a good while, but today the first Lollipop updates have started to become available for Nexus devices in the form of factory images. At the time of writing we’re seeing Lollipop factory images for the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (Wifi-only, 2013 + 2014 models) and Nexus 10. There’s also an updated build for the Nexus 9 — LRX21Q.
As always, Android 5.0 updates will filter to Nexus and Google Play edition devices automatically in the coming weeks for those who don’t manually update.
However if you don’t want to wait to update your Nexus phone or tablet, the good news is that manually updating your device is relatively easy. All you’ll need is your Nexus, an unlocked bootloader, a little bit of command line knowledge. We’ll walk you through the process after the break.
