No OTA for me yet

My brother go this OTA on Friday but i have nothing yet. I did a soft root and have changed the boot anim. Last update I did also have soft root. Is the boot anim enough to prevent the update comming?

It shouldn't unless if you have flashed a custom rom.

Could be, but it would only stop the flashing of the OTA, not getting the OTA in the first place. Easier to just download the OTA file and flash it via adb sideload IMO

Using stock rom.
Will flashing act as a OTA I mean so I still keep settings?
Or will it be like flashing custom rom?

I'm curious about this also.

This should throw some light on the subject...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

I did just get it downloaded now. There seem to be some issues with the update. Is it really worth doing? I read about people having troubble after updating....

[Q] 4.4 KitKat is still not available for me OTA (11/17/2013)

Hello fellow N10 owners,
Unfortunately, the OTA KitKat update for my N10 is still not available for download.
I have reset the Google Frameworks app, but that did not work.
I am running Android Version 4.3 build JWR66Y stock rooted.
If you guys have any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Also, If you would know
how I could keep root after the update that would be awesome!
Thank you

Glad to know I'm not the only one. I was beginning to wonder if my tablet was screwed or something. I have a nexus 7 also and it has yet to get an OTA update either.

I from malaysia and also don't get any update message yet : \

Perhaps Google is waiting for Kitkat to be released on the new Nexus 10 before updatring the original Nexus 10.

There is no new Google 10 and seriously once you get KitKat on your tablet you'll wish you hadn't, the OS is like a giant phone and isn't geared up for tablets.

I disagree. With the exception of the PhoneUI settings screen it's exactly the same thing we had before with much improved performance and reliability. I'm so glad to get rid of 4.3.. Nothing but problems.

Maybe it's been pulled.

Use Adb to sideload the ota zip if you do not want to wait
And I think KitKat is great on the n10, especially with the new launcher installed

The full image is available on the Nexus factory images site. If you can't wait for the OTA, just download and flash that. Just remember to edit the batch file so you don't wipe everything. Here is the link.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?csw=1#mantarayjwr66y

Taking advantage of the topic, I'm from Brazil and me has not yet come to update my tablet version is also JWR66Y rooted, I need to get the root to update via OTA? Because I remember the last update to 4.3, when restarted I had problem with the boot image and had to use a tool to change the boot image

I waited, and waited, but gave up a couple nights ago. Seems to me, it should be like a voting system. The more manual update checks you do, the sooner you get it versus those that don't manually check. Those that don't realize the update is even or won't miss it for another few days.
Editing the -w out of the batch file was troublesome for me. The flag would complete and the tablet would reboot, but it would then hang on the nexus boot screen. Tried twice, but waiting a half an hour each time, I deemed it failure. Unexpected too since I had done a full wipe, factory fresh 4.3 the week prior.
Running the unedited batch with wipe went without a hitch. No biggie since I had done it recently.

Yeah, I updated mine with the factory image several days ago...I decided to go ahead and let it do the full wipe since I was reading that folks were having issues after removing the "-w" flag. Full wipe is probably the way to go anyway if want to avoid bugs.
For anyone interested who hasn't done this before, I found the instructions here to be quite helpful:

Latest OTA

Just receive message of OTA. It is a small update and file size is 3.4MB. Since I have flashed the latest TWRP that support the OTA update.
I can not see any different version change.

i just recieved it myself on my Android 4.4, it says "fixes bugs" which i haven't felt there was, but i guess it's not everyone that finds the bugs they fix, and maybe the performance will go up a little more, i will bench a little later, depending on how much i have to do at work

Yeah it's mostly under the hood bug fixes. There's no change log but one new 'feature' they found is that it will remind you to set up a backup account if you have multiple Google accounts on the device.

Great to see your investgation what will be updated. But my Nexus 4 has no such update, so it is not for all KitKat devices.

Yeah I checked if it was also up for Nexus 4, sadly its just the N7 up for grabs, Just got the OTA notification, 3MB file.
Also there's this, new build, KRT16S

i read some has gotten OTA but not everyone, i used adb yesterday at work to "sideload" 4.4 on to my Nexus 7 2013 16gb tablet and it just is nice running smooth, no heat around my cam anymore in use.
i normally game a little and use it for Teamviewer. I brought my tablet bcs i was tired of dragging a laptop with me around, bcs i drag it to work everyday.
I basicly when at family, or friends house use my tablet for surfing, teamviewer and all what i used the laptop for it's nice

Nice, just in this forum only one person claims to have received 4.4 OTA. It does seem they are sending out a patch for something that is only available as a factory image that is being sideloaded. Curious.

the factory image and the one that comes on OTA should be the same as far as i know.
but it was pretty easy to flash my tablet, it took a little bcs i had a problem but when i fixed that one it went smoothly and no issues at all.

anyone else's touchscreen get ridiculous after this small OTA? I never had issues, then we got that jellybean OTA to "fix" touch screen issues for certain people, which then proceeded to break my touch screen. then I got kitkat, and it's perfect again, no touch issues anymore.. now I got this OTA and this morning I had to press everything 5 times before it registered! I did a reboot and it went away, but seriously, if they broke touch again, I'm giving up on this tablet.

Where is the update located once it is downloaded, I'm trying to install it with TWRP.

Just got it via OTA (had side loaded KitKat before that). Made me lose root but that should be easily fixed.

I had side loaded 4.4, unlocked and rooted. I got the OTA notification and there was an error installing and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. When it comes up it has dead android with red exclamation point and says "No command."

Same thing happened to me. I got the OTA notification but stoopidly I had SuperSU in OTA survival mode. The update failed and I ended up at the 'No Command' recovery thing you are talking about.
I was able to fix it by manually flashing the /boot, /recovery, and /system partitions (NOT /userdata ) in fastboot using the KRT16S system image that can be found here (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razorkrt16s). Everything was okay after that - all of my user data was intact and I was updated to KRT16S :good:

Verizon pushing update? Should I accept?

Hi guys, my gf has a new Verizon LG G2 which keeps trying to install some update... I haven't rooted it or anything (yet!) and I was wondering if I should not accept the update in fear of not being able to go back and root. Trouble is it pops up every day and forces you to pick a time to install it!
Currently running 4.2.2 baseband vs98010b, build jdq39b, software vs98010b

Accept the update. Root still works. Is this the only ota you have received. If you root first it goes into recovery bootloop if you do it when rooted.

I literally just went back to stock --> root --> Twrp 2.6.3.2 --> flashed DigitalDream ROM but you might be right, let me search

I found out hard way. I accepted ota by accident after rooting. Scared me real bad. Research if you want. But if your stock not rooted you are good unless it is some new ota. Which I doubt.

I used the LG Mobile Support tool while rooted because the update failed otherwise. After getting the update I no longer have root. I'm happy with this update, it added a few small things and corrected an issue with the touch screen behaving erratically. I haven't tried to re-root it and I haven't bothered with any custom recoveries since this update.

I was rooted - stock recovery took the B OTA and didn't loose root mine also didn't wipe. Ive checked and my Verizon g2 does indeed say it has the new B update on it.

12b and no custom recovery
if you are still on 11a, use ioroot to root your phone and then install a recovery afterwards.
if you update to 12b you can still root it, but for now you wont get a custom recovery to install.
that should change today or shortly i would guess, but if your gonna flash roms your better off doing it now in 11a and skipping 12b.
just a heads up and info share. enjoy

I've been wondering if i should accept the new update, thought i heard somewhere that it included a patch to relock the bootloader or something, & I'm planning on rooting mine (vs98011a). Sounds like its a worthwhile upgrade tho..my screen gets just a tiny bit glitchy sometimes. Guess I'll go ahead & take it then, thanx for the heads up. As long as i can root it still after I'm good...?

Boatloader had always been locked. There is just currently no working recovery/loki with the current update. If you plan on flashing/heavy modding, don't take it. You can still root.
Edit: Apparently, Freegee now works to flash recovery on 12B.
