Despite the drama earlier this week that made it seem that we...and custom ROM developers might never get their hands on the Factory OS Images for the New Nexus7, it seems the alarm was premature. It seem that in fact they've been released and you can find the Factory Images Here (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razor) and the Binaries here (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#razor). Now the 2nd generation model of the Nexus 7 is referred to as the 'razor' whereas the 1st generation was known as 'nakasi'. Factory images can be used to flash your tablet back to stock if necessary so some hackers and advanced hobbyists that like to play with rooted devices and custom ROMs like to have them around 'just in case'. For the typical user of course this is all meaningless. But it's nice to know that ROM developers can get their hands on them which should make things easier.
