I'm running Dandroid 4.4 on my ATT and after initial setup I was prompted that there was a system update to 4.4.2, so I thought OK this is cool if I can receive direct updates from Google.
So I click update and my phone reboots to TWRP but does nothing. Now I remember this same thing happened when I ran the CM11 nightly updates as well so I reboot and try again. But this time it says my system is up to date at 4.4...
Does anyone how to alleviate my OCD to have the latest and greatest? ?

You can't and should never try to get OTA updates while using a custom ROM. Especially one that is ported from another device that has different partitions. If it would have gone through, you would have a very expensive paperweight.
Always get your updates from the developers ROM thread. Dan does a good job of updating almost on a nightly basis.

Hello,
Don't know if this happens to anyone else. My Nexus 7 says that it has some updates to install in a very regular basis, every week or so. Is this regular updates or is it that the custom kernel (Morfic's Derkernel) is not allowing a proper installation?
I don't know what updates youre getting but I'm on 4.2.1 and I've been checking everyday but I haven't gotten ANY updates. (Stock unrooted)

You can't install a stock OTA update if you have a custom kernel and/or custom recovery installed.

Thanks a lot, can I flash the updates with TWRP? If so, where can I get the latest images?

no, images from Google will wipe your device just so you know and are fine through adb. since you have twrp already installed it seems. you might as well peruse the dev section for a close to stock rom if that is what you're trying to do if not try something else

Thanks, I think I'll give paranoid android another chance.
Do you mean app updates or firmware updates? App updates are fairly regular, especially if you have a lot of installed apps. There have been 2 firmware updates since the N7 intro and if you haven't done them you will continue to get reminders occasionally.
Hi, I'm currently running the last AOKP nightly based on JB4.2.2.
Every time I try to update to a more recent, 4.3.1 based version, I fail miserably
Even after a full wipe I get bootloops, the setup wizard crashes, or titanium backup fails to restore much needed (non-system) settings / apps. I get lots of freezes or random reboots along the way...
Am I the only person with such problems?! I found mentions that root is somewhat broken since 4.3 and that current root applications are still unfit to compensate... Is this true?
How can I update to a newer, AOKP based Rom? Is there a official or unofficial version that is stable enough to serve as daily driver? Do I need additional apks? How can I restore my titanium backups?
Thanks in advance!

I flashed the .84 radio but have no new bootloader... Where can I get it? Can I still downgrade to 4.2.2 if the update fails?

Here for the bootloader and if you have a backup of your 4.2.2 rom you are ok.

Make sure you have the latest version of your Recovery and bootloader before flashing the rom.
I'm new user to android. I had successfully rooted my Nexus 7 2012 v4.3 using Wugs Nexus Toolkit long back. I was wondering if I had to unroot tablet to install official v4.4 Kitkat update when it rolls out later this month?
i hit this border everytime and official update comes lol i think you dont need to unroot but major updates delete root and replace recovery/bootloader depending on update? im not 100% thou
Thanks.

If you made any system changes or tweaks....that won't be good enough. Better off flashing stock.

Better to update on wugzfresh too, im going to stock when the 4.4 rolls out ?
Hey, i just received 4.4.2 update prompt, if someone explains me how, i will upload it for you

I'm too lazy to backup & unroot & back to stock to get 1.7mb of OTA... Should I just ignore this one?
It seems to be trivial enough.. 1.7mb?

I am, At least until I see reports of the N7 shooting flames out of its tail pipes and burning rubber from the new update.
4.4.2 alraedy?
I just got 4.4.2 update download as well, didn't even receive the 4.4.1 notice yet. Won't install for now, will wait for Franco kernel to be updated as well as bionic/dalvik patches.

Haven't even gotten 4.4.1 yet, still on 4.4. What's the speed of this rolling out. I know it's based on serial numbers, but folks already getting 4.4.2 while some of us haven't even gotten 4.4.1.
Has anyone tried OTA Survival Mode yet with recent (1.55 and above if I am correct) SuperSu Pro? I read about succesful updates from 4.3 to 4.4 and 4.4 to 4.4.1 with our device while keeping root, but also about soft-bricked devices. Would make life easier if it works because I have stock recovery and wouldn't need to temporaryly adb load TWRP via Usb every time after OTA to reroot.

I never saw 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 is installing right now. First I was aware that there was a 4.4.2.
I got it OTA. No difference at all. Except the keyboard noise now sounds like a kids toy.
Edit: After using it a bit I think video performance is a lot better, seems more stable. And YouTube now works properly for me.
just got mine it was 58mb
(i didn't receive the 4.4.1 ota update)
In currently running stock firmware but rooted. I'm in the 3 network in the UK. I checked the other night to see if an update was showing and nothing, and I've been checking periodically over the last few weeks.
Tonight I thought I would give it a go and I am currently downloading a 548.36mb update. Does anyone know what this is??

are you running the 4.4.2 update already?? cause if so it might be bug fixes
Nope. I'm running stock 4.2.2. I didn't think u would get it as I an rooted.
Went to install it and obviously that's where NY excitement became frustration. I've uninstalled Xposed and done what I can to unroot the device without a PC and an attempting again.
Is there a way to unroot the phone without a PC?

if you have a custom recovery than you need a pc or alot of looking around for the flashable zips of stock recovery but they have flashables of the 4.4.2 update that are pre-rooted so id say flash that when you can
This does not belong in the Development Section; moved here...Thanks.
