Hi,
while waiting for the Nexus 7 KitKat 4.4 OTA i found out that my Nexus 7 is still running JWR66V (rooted).
There has been a minor Update to JWR66Y, but my device never informed me about this. When I am checking the systems updates there is "nor update available".
I had installed FOTAkill.apk half a year ago, but i did remove it from /systems/app
Any idea how to get OTA back online again ?!
Before I download and install the official update onto my month old Nexus 4, are there any problems that I should worry about?
Or should I wait a week or two for all the Show-Stoppers to be ironed out?
My Nexus 4 is on Build number JWR66Y
Nexus 5 , Nexus 7 , Motorola Moto x , Moto g and Moto e Will get first chance to get updated to android 4.4.4 .

So, what should we (those who have not received 4.4.3 )expect ,a direct 4.4.4 update or 4.4.3 first ?

hope direct 4.4.4 update...but not sure
These are just some bug fixes, I don't see why so much fuss about 4.4.3 and 4.4.4
There are not much significant changes, specially in 4.4.4

Security issue is not important to you ?
I think we will get 4.4.3 update and then 4.4.4 cz Motorola is working on 4.4.3 for moto devices...
and then they will work on 4.4.4...
or if we directly get 4.4.4, 4.4.3 features will also b ter in that, that's obvious!

Thats the only site that said moto x,g,e will get 4.4.4. Its not true. Yes they will or might get. But nothing has been announced yet. Besides its just security fix. about your question doesn't it concern you?
No. because the security hole is not applicable for most users who dont use that feature. The 4.4.4 security fix is for 4.4.3. we havent got 4.4.3 itself so nothing of that matters really. we will get 4.4.3 or maybe a direct update. But i dont think it matters either way. If new version does appear on I/O, that will be what that matters as it'll have some major change.
Only one major update and a few minor updates
Motorola promised only one more major update for Moto E. And I suppose, that one update will be for Android 5.0.
Android 4.4.3 has some bugs with openssl modules. Hence, Google made an unexpected update of Android 4.4.4 to fix that security issue.
So probably, we can get directly Android 4.4.4 update and then Android 5.0 update.
And future updates for better Android versions will be provided by developers.
moto e
Good 4.4.4 update in moto e
Extstcard now can read and write with 3rd party apps
This was the thing I was waiting for

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.

Hey guys!
Just got my brand new Nexus 4 (got a great deal on a NEW one and decided to get it as a secondary phone). Anyway I sat through all the updates from 4.2.2 ---> 4.4.4 but can't get the 5.0 lollipop update as much as I try spazing the "check update" button. Will it come? Have you guys all got it already?? Should I wait until tomorrow?
