Chainfire is on a rooting spree today. Only moments ago, Google released the Android 5.0 Lollipop factory images for its Nexus devices and Chainfire has already posted root for all these devices.

Earlier today, Chainfire posted root for Moto x 2014 running on lollipop and for Nexus 7 2012 (WiFi) for which an Android 5.0 firmware was leaked. And just now, he has released root for the Nexus 5, Nexus 10 and Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi) running on the just released Android 5.0 Lollipop builds.
