Theres the standard 4.4 one on Play Books, not sure how relevant it is to TouchWiz though. Don't think there would be that much difference in JB to Kitkat user guide for I9505.

Hi dverbame,
I read on another post that Samsung will port the 4.4.4 by September for N9005 international. So let's wait until October to see if they succeed in it.
By the way, once the 4.4.4 is available by Samsung, a lot of Custom Stock firmwares will appear very soon after, here :

(but i am not so in the hurry of installing it as it is embedding KNOX 2.0)

Kitkat 4.4.4 update!

http://m.androidcentral.com/android-444-update-t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-note-101-2014-rolling-out
Android central just reported that a kitkat 4.4.4 update is going out for t mobile note 10.1 (link above). I was quite surprised to hear of a 4.4.4 update, especially when wifi only note 10.1 s have yet to receive an update since the 4.4.2.
Wondering if anyone else has any other news? Or any one experience with what the 4.4.4 brings to note 10.1? Looking forward to seeing what Sammy did for our note 10.1, plus hoping we will also get a lollipop 5.0 update in the future too.
If you ask a provider, whether there will be an update for a branded device, and they don't have the least clue, whether the provider will make any generic update as a base ever, they say "maybe, possibly, probably" and such, like politicians. Surely there was not a "yes" involved.
I like having card writes for my non stock apps so will stay with 4.3. Works fine.
I got an update notification for my p600, I didn't take it though so I wouldn't lose root
Hi Joey121215
Which firmware do you have now?
I just got the 4.4.2 update today.

Thanks!
Rooted (and a bit of a rookie) .
I can't update OTA and checked Sammobile, but 4.4.4 isn't there.
Suggestions on how I can get stock 4.4.4?

No, I believe you need to install 4.4.4 before updating to 5.0 because the update section in the Settings app will not detect Android 5.0 before updating to 4.4.4. Hope this answers your question!

so to get android 4.4.4.(stable version) , is it necessary to first install android 4.4.2 (unstable,already with many bugs) ?
since my tab is always showing android 4.4.2 downloaded and ready to install , is there any way i get android 4.4.4 to install directly (without flashing a factory image with fast boot) ?
Thankyou
4.4.2 does not have many bugs. After installing 4.4.2, then you can install 4.4.4 and then finally install 5.0.

Just fast boot the Latest stock image from Google to your device. NO Need to install update over update... You can also Do Custom recovery and Flash one of the many roms for the device. Including The new 5.0 Rom ..
its best to do clean install and not piling update on top update
His goal is to do it without fastboot, that's why I gave him the OTA method.

Lollipop Update is not showed ...

Hi,
I have a Nexus 7 ME370T (Wi-Fi Model). I'm currently on 4.4.4 but if I check for updates the message is "System is Updated". No 5.0/5.0.1/5.0.2. OS is original and was never rooted. How can I get OTA updates (don't want to flash from factory images).
Thanks in advance
Stefano
I would stick with Kitkat for the time being until Google works out all the issues
wait!!

The Android 5.0 update for the Nexus 7 had loads of performance issues. So they stopped rolling it out.
Based on what I hear from the forums, Kitkat > Lolipop for N7.
