The official download link for the KitKat 4.4 update on the Nexus 7 (wifi) is returning a 404:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-krt16o-factory-db4a1a8a.tgz
Has anyone been able to successfully download this?
Are there any google/android folks out there who can fix this link so I can join the KitKat club?
UPDATE: Nov 21, 2013
A new KitKat update has been released (build krt16s) which fixes the bad link and missing bootloader issues that were discussed in this thread. Here is the link to the Nexus 7 (WiFi) factory image:

Thanks to all for posting helpful comments and suggestions.

I too would like to know this valuable information. I just saw on twitter that the links were up to dload the factory image and low and behold 404!!!!
All other links appear to be working fine!
If you're in a hurry, grab a 4.3 image and update it with kitkat update.zip.
Otherwise I suggest waiting until tomorrow and trying again.
I downloaded it about an hour ago, no problem...
Um, okay, no I didn't. I wound up with the Mobile. Damn.
The Razor image is downloadable, but only 835 bytes. It's missing all the binaries.
NOW the images are up, heh!
The link works now. If anyone has trouble downloading it, let me know and I'll make a mirror.
Fixed!

Coming from CM10.2, I went back to 4.3 and then flashed the 4.4 OTA. Is there any difference between that and flashing the factory image? I have a feeling that using the factory image is "cleaner" somehow, although I have no real reason for that.
I can confirm, the link is working now!
The file is 345 MB for me!

From what I can tell, there's nothing different.
Personally, I prefer to do a completely clean flash of a rom instead of updating. I know it's not as much of an issue these days as it used to be, but I remember having tons of issues back when Froyo and Gingerbread was still new.....that, and HTC just generally sucked at OTA updates at times.
I'm making a deodexed and rooted flashable right now, and I'm adding in the new launcher and updated Google Now. I'll upload and share here is there's a demand for it, or if no one else does it. The updated Google Now and GEL run like the should now with no issues...including working auto rotate.
has google fix the missing bootloader?

Nope, but you can pull it from the 4.3 stock image zip though. no change in bootloader version.
FIXED - Update Nexus 7 to 4.4 KitKat

The link is now working, but the tarball is missing the required bootloader image. I tried using the 4.23 image from the previous release (jwr66y) but it appears to be corrupt. To fix the problem, I dug up an older jwr66v release (link below) and copied the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file into the newest release folder, then ran the flash-all script. Seems to be working now.
Here is a link to the OLD release containing the GOOD bootloader:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jwr66v-factory-d341d356.tgz
Here is a link to the NEW release with the MISSING bootloader:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-krt16o-factory-db4a1a8a.tgz
MD5SUM for the GOOD (jwr66v) bootloader-grouper-4.23.img: df53028033c9eccf4fe5ba7bc198ce24
MD5SUM for the BAD (jwr66y) bootloader-grouper-4.23.img: 5bdb2e87370cdb1a7ea14bb0c3e21390
TLDR:
Copy the bootloader-grouper-4.23.img file from the old (jwr66v) release into the new (krt16o) release folder then run flash-all.

The version number didn't change, but the bootloader from the 4.3 stock image is corrupt.
Here is a link to a version containing a good 4.23 bootloader:

See my other post for MD5SUMs on both the good and bad bootloader image files.

I think you will have more luck in your device forum. This one is for the 2012 N7.

I had same issue. You can download factory image from google (you can download krt16s version and then ota or simply kot49h) and open it with winrar. Extract the zip file inside and then flash system.img using "fastboot flash system system.img". It will revert system partition to stock

Hi everyone. I'm trying to upgrade my Nexus 10 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (stock rom) but I need the original file /system/bin/debuggerd from 4.4.2.
Can anyone upload it? Thank you very much.
I have just extracted from the original image. So if anybody needs it I can upload it.

Please upload it, I really need the file
UPDATE: Sorry for my completely newbie question. The problem was that since Android 5.0, I have to be full stock before flashing: that means, unroot and restore the official recovery. Once I did it, everything worked as expected.
================
I am trying to install the OTA of 5.1, but for some reason when I do so, I receive the following message:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/occam/mako:5.0.1/LRX22C/1602158:user/release-keys or google/occam/mako:5.1/LMY470/1783956:user/release-keys; this device has google/occam/mako:4.3/JWR66V/737497:user/release-keys.

I am on 5.0.1. Just in case, I downloaded 5.0.1 from google's page, and flash it again, but I receive the same message. Why would my system believe I am on 4.3?
Please, help!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm using adb 1.0.32, which I believe is the last one. Am I right?
EDIT: Problem solved, thanks

Read the first post: you must have the original recovery too and use the sideload function on it.
Hi, I'm having trouble in updating my nexus 4.
This is what I got..."/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents.
Does someone have the 4.4.4 original debuggerd file that can share with me please? Thank you so much.
