Google Rolls Out Android 5.0 Factory Image (LRX21L) For The Nexus 9 (Volantis), But No Binaries Or Other Images Yet

You've probably been waiting with much anticipation for Google to finally push the full factory images for Android 5.0 Lollipop. Your Nexus devices have been yearning for it too, I expect. Well, there's one image up, but it's for the Nexus 9 (Volantis). That probably doesn't help you much, but at least there's movement.

The factory images are a big deal for Nexus devices as they let you undo just about anything you might do to mess up your device. It's also great for getting back to stock in advance of a big OTA update. The driver binaries are not yet posted, but that usually takes a little while longer. You don't need to worry about that if you're just hacking around with mods and ROMs anyway. We'll keep an eye out for more devices to go live.
