Have You Gotten KitKat 4.4.1? Thread

[Roberto Flint]

Go to Apps, Google Services Framework and clear data. Once you've done that go to settings, about phone and system updates. Just done that and my nexus updated to 4.4.1!!!!!

Before taking this advice, this article should be read.

Is there anyway to install it while on a Mac? I don't own a PC. All the instructions I find are for PCs, it seems.

A few days of waiting isn't that big of a deal, though.

Quick question guys as it's been a while since I updated a phone.

What data do you normally lose when updating? All Apps deleted? Received SMS deleted? Anything else? Or none of the above?

Yes. You need to have the Android SDK installed and be able to use a few commands. It's really easy, just takes a few minutes to understand the process before you jump in. I reverted back to stock then pushed the update using my Macbook Pro and using this guide (substitute the Nexus 5 files): How to manually update your Nexus tablet to KitKat [updated] | Android Central

If you are stock then that will work. Stock rooted will work as well, but won't if you installed a custom ROM or Kernel, which is why I restored to stock. Good luck

Has anyone that's using sprint got 4.4.1 yet?

I sideloaded the update.

I'm confused at steps 10 and 11:

On your computer, open up a command prompt or terminal window.
Using the command line, navigate to the Android SDK/platform-tools folder


What does that mean "using the command line, navigate to the Android SDK/platform-tools folder" ?

You want to navigate to the saved location of the platform-tools folder. With the Terminal open, type:

cd /location/of/platform-tools

You can easily open the sdk folder and right-click on the platform-tools folder and copy the whole location. Paste that after "cd" then press enter.

Gotcha. Going to give it a shot. Will update. Thanks!

I keep getting a syntax error in the terminal. I'm pasting the "COPY Platform-tools" when I right click the folder to the terminal, then adding "./adb-mac sideload <the complete name of the OTA zip file you want to flash>" (including the dot in front of /adb...) and then putting the full file name of the zip "7ed504f678cea49ecf0974e8cd956e2974e3f943.signed-hammerhead-KOT49E-from-KRT16M.7ed504f6" inside the < >

but giving me errors. Where am I going wrong?

EDIT: Okay, I see I'm not supposed to use < > for the file name, but now it's giving me "No such file or directory" ...

BTW, when it says "have the latest Android SDK installed" what's that mean? Just unzipping the ADK Bundle? Or do I have to actually install something from the unzipped stuff? And if so, what? There are so many things.

remove the "-mac"
I think it should be ./adb sideload

Look at the device and at the bottom it will say what to enter.

Just download the bundle and install it. That will be the latest provided you got the download from Google's site.

Installing meaning unzipping it? That's all I did.

As for the Terminal, still no luck. Tried every combination. Basically reads this:

................./adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk/platform-tools./adb sideload/7ed504f678cea49ecf0974e8cd956e2974e3f943.signed-hammerhead-KOT49E-from-KRT16M.7ed504f6


But still giving me "no such file" error. Tried all sorts of combinations. With the .zip, without; without the slash before the file name, etc. No luck. This is where I always get stuck every time I try to sideload...

 

[srkmagnus]

after platform-tools remove the "." before the "/". A simple thing like that will cause the error. Also, the file needs to end in .zip (looks like you copied the first part of the file name again). Another note is that the file needs to be dropped into the Platform-tools folder and not another folder.

Ah! That was what was on the Android Central site... that dot. Ok...

Woah, now it spilled out this whole Android Debug Bridge thing... Very long. Doesn't seem like it's installing anything on my phone though.

EDIT: And if I don't use the slash in front of the zip file name, it says "Cannot read ... file name"

Check your PM's.

Thanks again for your help and, above all, patience. You basically held my newbie hands step by step. Really appreciate it.

Time to bite into 4.4.1!

 

[ChrisS#AC]

Not yet on my Nexus 10, hoping that it will fix my Exchange accounts, (Corp and MSN) will not update.
I've tried various different options for sync from Push to every hour, and I just get a message saying unable to sync.
Impatiently waiting.......

No problem. Glad to see you got it installed. Keep the file for backup and possibly consider downloading the 4.4 Factory Image for the Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) just in case you need to restore it. Restoring to factory image is almost the same, so you have a good idea of what needs to be done.
