ooow.. mine not using custom rom, so i'm waiting for OTA.

Still waiting as well.
Don't know how long is it gonna take.

Anyone tried sideload 4.4 factory image? I've tried a few times using this method (see link) but failed. Stuck at signature verification failed. A good helping hand much appreciate. Thanks.

Is it because of my bootloader is locked? Is it necessary to unlocked first?

Yes, bootloader must be unlocked in order to sideload or flash the factory image, please note that unlocking your bootloader will wipe all your data in your tablet.

Sadly... still unable to flash successfully. "E: signature verification failed" error even after bootloader unlock.

I've download factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasig. It was in *.tgz file format. Should i sideload this file or should i unpack first only then using *.zip file inside it?

Please note that there are 2 type of updates you can sideload to your nexus 7.
1. OTA zip file, sideload to update to 4.4 without losing your current data in your tablet.
2. Factory image file which restore your tablet to initial state of 4.4, this will wipe your userdata too, you have to do extra steps in order to keep your data.

Since you downloaded the factory image, I recommend you to use toolkit to do the things for you, it is very easy to use, install it in your root folder of your PC, run it and let it download the necessary files then you are good to go.

Toolkit can be downloaded here.

Use the option "Flash Google Factory Image" and follow the instructions shown in your PC, if you want to keep your data, type "N" when the toolkit asks you whether to format userdata before flashing.

Finally succeed flashing 4.4 using Wug's Nexus Root Kit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475. Download Factory image without using Download Accelerator Program. (Browser download).

I've got the ota notice this morning. Going to update later when I got home from work. Hopefully to see performance improvements

confirm OTA 4.4 sucessful

Hi there..can u guide me step by step to update my rooted nexus 7 lte version from 4.31 to 4.4. After download the zip file , what should I do next in Wug toolkit?

Thank you!

Does the 4.4 OTA update, 'breathes new life' into your N7?

OTA 4.4 released??? i've checked last nite but still not our turn yet, for nexus 7 (2012).

Yeah, see the past comments most of them seems to have it or side loaded it. Would like to know if there are improvements due to the project svelte

OTA not yet i think... those who hv it.. dat is probably not from system > about > check update thr~

Mine is officially OTA. No sideload or anything.

Try to clear cache, clear data and force stop for below Apps
