I've ordered a new screen and a 32gb mobo off Amazon. Anyone looking to buy a fully working, factory reset 8gb WiFi motherboard, 2012 edition with latest 5.0 factory image?

Flashed it

Please explain how to flash it.
Do you use odin or recovery?

Easiest is WUGs tool kit.

+1, that's a fantastic tool, annoyed the nexus doesn't support USB otg mount without that R50 app or rooting, but that tool makes it so easy

Am I right in saying the Lollipop update is not yet released for the 3G & Wiffy models? Not talking OTA but by flashing it with WUGtools, etc.

Just check for the factory images on Google's developer site. I didn't see it this morning.

OTA update just released for my 2012 nexus 7 and currently downloading.
:-D

Edit: to those who already have 5.0, is there a noticeable performance increase over 4.4?

Wifi-only model I presume? Nothing yet on my 3G & Wiffy model...

Lollipop on the 2012 Nexus 7: Not great, but not much worse

I've updated mine - performance is about the same.

App performance is about the same, but I find that where previously it sometimes got sluggish switching between multiple apps, now it does not stutter anymore.
