Factory Images for Android 7.0 Nougat for Nexus Going Live!

Android 7.0 finally arrived for the public yesterday, but Google slacked off a bit and did not give us direct download links for OTAs and factory images. While OTA’s are good when you want to go the incremental route, system images come in handy when you mess something up and just want to get back to stock Android.

Here are the factory images for the devices that Google has provided for:

Device	Download
Nexus 5X “bullhead”	Coming Soon
Nexus 6 “shamu”	Coming Soon
Nexus 6P “angler”	Coming Soon
Nexus 9 “volantis”	volantis-nrd90m-factory-b718f71b.tgz SHA-256: 124a0c132fe3a799e46f8fe76334815b8e16107abe62f7cf1e00e8e9447a2345

You do need an unlocked bootloader to flash these images. Installation instructions can be found here.

We’ll update the list as and when more images come out.
