Anyone get the 4.4.1 OTA update?

[tonicsix]

I am in the UK and have a Nexus 4, which updated via OTA to 4.4 a couple of weeks ago. First it caused very high battery consumprion, until I messed about with location settings. Then on November 20/30 it used over 1.3gb of mobile data, blowing my 1gb data plan out of the water! It was used by Android system. It has since used another 2gb via WiFi. No trace of this on any forum that I can find
Now for the big news, just now, my Nexus started to update to 4.4.2, no sign of this anywhere on the net, yet.
It is updating as I type so don't know what it will bring.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Google started the 4.4.1 OTA on 12/5/2013. Google only sends 1% or the new Nexus 5 phones this update in the first 24-48 hours OTA. They then wait for problems before rolling out more. People also side load the new update. If all looks good after about week to ten days everyone on the Nexus 5 will get it.

So I bricked my phone and lost all data for 4.4.1, and already I get to do it all over again for .2? :-\

You definitely weren't doing something right. I just updated a Nexus 5, 4 and 7 in under 10 minutes using adb sideload

Just went straight to 4.4.2 via OTA on my nexus 5 in UK a few minutes ago.

Still waiting.... (I could sideload, but I just really don't want to)

So you should have no problems applying this update.

Still haven't gotten any updates. Service through T-Mobile and live in California if that makes any difference.

Just got 4.4.2 tonight as well.

I was surprised as I didn't read anything about it. It just popped up. Go, Google.

I'm getting antsy for this ish! Wish messing with the brains of this phone was as easy for me to pickup as jailbreaking my iPhone was. Feel like I should be able to figure out sideloading no problem but haven't really found a guide that has everything laid out super clearly to do this via a Mac.

I just sideloaded 4.4.1 & 4.4.2 on my Macbook; it wasn't very hard once I got everything set up correctly. Terminal commands are pretty easy.

If you could link me to the guide(s) you used, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.

I pretty much used Manually update Nexus 7 to Android 4.4 KitKat as my basis. There are some mac-specific comments in the comments section, as well.

It all boils down to creating a folder on your desktop, unzipping the ADK (android developer tools) into this new folder, and then dragging the renamed upgrade file in to the sdk/platform-tools folder. Once you do that and get your phone in to the the proper mode, it's pretty simple to use terminal to get inside that folder you created and use the sideload command. I can post a literal step by step if need be.

 

[JohnnyBroccoli]

A manual step by step would be awesome. Especially if you could include those "Mac-specific comments" that are relevant. I have used terminal before and am generally good at fudging around with this kind of stuff; just a little scared since it's a brand new device and OS to me (exclusively iPhone user from 2008 up until 2-3 days ago).

Thanks again.

Bricked my phone again! Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Ol so i didn't receive the 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 here is Toronto with Virgin, but bought my N5 directly from Google.
I wanted to sideload it but i do not have sdk on my computer and from searching around the net it is pretty confusing. Some say i also need to download jdk from java. Anyways i downloaded adt bundle and i pressed sdk install and it says you should extract everything, i say ok and it tellms me 10.196 files to extract and will take someothing lime 2 hours/ Am i doing something wrong? Is it this correct? I am using a windows 8 computer I5 with 8GB ram and that seems long to me.
Any help would be appreciated.
