[benlee123]

Has anyone managed to get the OTA update for Kit Kat? Has it already been released?

Nope, its still only on the nexus 5 at this point

I have been wondering about when this update is coming also. I guess we will know when we need to know.

 

[dirtyriffs]

Update to Kit Kat starting tonight!

 

[jhawkkw]

For those willing to apply the update manually, here's the OTA link:http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-razor-KRT16O-from-JSS15R.3a3951e8.zip

Note: This is only for the wifi version.

I just heard that the update is being sent out to the Nexus 7 and 10! Of course, that doesn't guarantee that you or I will get it today. But someone probably will!

 

[Unforgiven]

Anyone know if the Google Services Framework trick works?

Anyone know if the Google Services Framework trick works?

It can, but I tried it a few times last night and gave up.

I've seen it reported its working for others

Is this the same as flashing a ROM? Do I just go into recovery and install from sd card? My N7 is not rooted, btw. Thanks in advance for the clarification!

If you're rooted, you can flash it from recovery provided your on the stock rom

I'd you aren't rooted, you'll need to use adb sideload. If you aren't familiar with using adb we can get some directions written up for you

For anyone who has updated to 4.4, is flash still working for you? After updating I can't get any flash on Firefox...

 

[tukatz]

I never did succeed with flash on Firefox. I use FlashFox for the thing where I need flash player.

 

[samw5]

can someone confirm that this can be used to update stock unlocked rom using TWM recovery?

If the rom is completely stock, it should be no issue unless you disabled an important system app.

I feel a bit robbed, it's nothing like Kit Kat on the Nexus 5.

Don't even have transparent task bar, I get the feeling this is more stock than 4.4 on the Nexus 5.

We probably won't know what true stock is until we get another Nexus device launched, which is likely the 2013 Nexus 10.

Thanks... Ya I'm stock rooted with custom recovery. Download in now...

Will I need to reroot? If so what root will work?

Yes, the update will remove root. To reroot, reinstall your custom recovery using the latest twrp or cwm and flash this: SuperSU Download
