I also got the notification now but i can't flash it, because my recovery is cwm, last time i tried 4.4.1 it didn't let me, it aborted the OTA. so i had to wait for a flashable zip.

I flashed it with CWM, but with each update I lose root and recovery and have to reflash each. :dontknow:

I just ran the OTA too and it worked fine - eventually. It was by far the slowest update I'd seen - excluding the original 4.3 to 4.4 that never ended and broke my phone.
When I started the 4.4.2 OTA the battery was at 85% (I checked) and when it finished the phone was warm to the touch and the battery was at 53%, so don't take this OTA unless the battery is well charged.
This OTA seems to be doing a lot of work; maybe Google have learned something from the unacceptable failure rates of recent OTAs... Maybe.
It's just a theory, but I think if you are using ART instead of Dalvik it takes much longer to update the apps after and OTA.

4.4.2 factory images are out, so there's another way to update now if you don't want to wait for the ota or use adb.
