Factory images

[Navraj Saini]

Just wondering why doesn't ASUS post the factory images for the nexus 7 FLO, like HTC did w/ the nexus one?

This might have something to do with it:

New Nexus 7 may not get factory images due to legal issues, JBQ leaves AOSP over it | Android and Me

Strong recommendation of making a clean nandroid if you're ROMing it.

Google ought to require all component suppliers participating in the Nexus program to contribute device drivers to factory images. If Qualcomm continues to refuse Google should ban Qualcomm from all Nexus devices.
