Downgrade to 4.4.4 - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downgraded my Nexus 7 to KitKat 4.4.4 and it's running much smoother.
I have just tried to install PayPal app but it says it's not compatible with my device. Is that a Nexus thing or a KitKat thing? If it's just KitKat does anyone know where I can get the apk from? Or which version will work with 4.4.4?
Thanks
Stuart

It says the minimum version is 4.0.3 so it's shouldn't be a "KitKat" thing. That said APKMirror is also hosting the most recent version. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/paypal-mobile/paypal/

[Q] Dead Link for KitKat 4.4 Factory Image "nakasi" for Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi)

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:

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.

N8013 firmware upgrades on stock

Hey all. I have a US based N8013. I had the stock firmware on it N8013UEALI3. I then did the OTA update which updated it to N8013UEUCMA3. According to Sammobile the latest version for this tablet is N8013UEUCMI3, but when doing a software update check it says that I have the latest version.
Why is that? I am completely stock, and completely confused. lol
Thanks in advance!
Try using Kies to update. That may work. If that doesn't work, download the rom from Sammobile and flash it. Here's a link for you. http://sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-gt-n8013/

The latest T-Mobile version (851) is 10m.
I've just installed this on my F400K. Quite a noticeable performance increase for me.
Hi,
Anybody had any issues with v10m or v10t?
Anybody have any idea what the "fixes and improvements" are supposed to be?
For me with purpledrake root it couldn't install the update to v10t. I'm using F400k.
For those who could install it, are you rooted? If so, how are you rooted?
I rooted with Towlroot when I was using V10g then I freeze the unwanted apps and I was able to update to V10T without unroot. I have k400s
can i flash v10t in my international version d855?? if ya,,,please give me the link,,,,thnx

Android 5.0. Had rooted nc2 odined nc4 and upgraded through vzw assistant. It says I have root but supersu won't work and root check fails.
Let me know if you need someone to test your exploit. I'm very familiar with bash and reasonably so with Java, if that helps any.

437.64mb software update??

I received updates on both of my S4s, size is 437.64mb, in fact i am on lollipop 5.0.1 did anybody else receive this update yet?
Is the phone running the latest ROM? The stock ROMs are at sammobile.com and you can compare the installed ROM to sammobile.com's ROM files..
