Android 4.4 KitKat Rolling Out To Both 2012 And 2013 Nexus 7s!

[JayJ]

I ADB sidelaoded the OTA update using Wugfresh's Toolkit, it did remove TWRP during the update process but reflashed straight after update and reflashed SuperSU.

Are you guys using SuperSU 1.69, if not I'd highly recommend updating because Superuser (Koush's and ChainsDD) and SuperUS have potential exploits. If you've updated through the Play store then that's fine too.

Updated SuperSU 1.69 flashable zip

Nexus 7 2013 OTA update url's

To OTA update to KitKat on the 2013 Nexus 7 you must be in JSS15R build with no system modifications, that includes uninstalled applications, frozen applications, edits to the build.prop, Exposed Framework et cetera.

Do we have a list of the OTA zip files for the Nexus devices please?

Need them for my 4, 7 & 10.

TIA.

4.4 for the N4 hasn't been released yet and neither has the Mobile Data Nexus 7's...

One caution, if you are using SuperSU pro and have Survival mode enabled your OTA will fail. Also do not use the install zip file in recovery, you will need to use sideload.

Update:

I have updated my Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 to KitKat 4.4, using the available OTA zip files and Mark Skippen's toolkit and feel it should be noted that:

1) You will not retain root, but that it is easily restored with the toolkit.

2) Mark's toolkit will retain your TWRP or CWM recovery.

3) You will retain data and apps if you are stock Android for your device.

4) I will follow up with a Step by Step Guide, over the upcoming weekend, if the roll out of the OTA stagnates.

Still waiting impatiently for my OTA on a 12 and 13.

Couldn't wait.. Flashed the 13 with TWRP and rooted with Skippen. Pretty painless but I did have to bring my boot animation back to stock for the update to work. Liking the new subtle differences so far.

HELP HELP
I tried updating using Mark Skippen Unified Tool Kit and got this error message
error executing updater binary in Zip "data/media/0/sideload.zip
So I tried Wugfresh which my N7 can not get into adb mode
Try again with Unified Toolkit and somehow it keeps booting in TWRP
I decided to wipe data and try to load factory reset in TWRP. It keeps saying "uploading partition details.. for a long time  30-40 minutes"
I decided to power off to reboot
It keeps rebooting  in TWRP ...
I can not get back to the usual screen to use Toolkit to recover my files
I have N7 2012, unlocked and rooted

DESPERATELY NEED HELP, PLEASE

In Twrp screen I nolonger have the recovery button

I tried to use Wugfresh 1.7.6 latest (today) version but it does not work because Toolkit said that adb device not found

Can you update direct from 4.2.2 to 4.4? I've skipped on 4.3 because of the loss of Root.

Uodate: used Mark Shippen's toolkit and after replacing bootloader to 4.28 flawless update to 4.4. Then easy peasy re - root.

You lose root with this update as well.

do you have the zip file on the Nexus? Have you tried to just Flash the zip file thru TWRP and not sideloading?

Are there links yet for just the OTA updates anywhere?

I do not have the zip file on the N7, As of now my PC does not see the N7 so I can not manually copy the file to N7.
It continues to boot up in TWRP and I can boot into bootloader through TWRP
====
Try again sideloading using Unified Toolkit with CWM and got the following error
Error in  /tmp/update.zip (Status 7)

I tried to reboot through TWRP, it states that there is no OS on the device and ask me to confirm the reboot

During my research I found the following suggestions on Android Porn. However after downloading the software and following the instructions  I still can not get into fastboot mode. Any suggestions would be very much welcome

"Android Porn – How to break and restore a Nexus 7 to stock Android
When I tried to restore Android Stock I got the device in a state where it just showed failed boot and no adb connections possible.

After some heavy googleing I could restore it like this:

downloaded and installed android sdk: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
export platform-tools directory to path (only for unix oses)
boot Nexus7 into “fastboot” screen (with big green start box)
verified osx did detect the device “fastboot devices” -> should list a device with status “fastboot”
downloaded 4.3 factory image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
extracted tgz file (do not extract the zip file that lies beside the flash scripts
executed “flash-all.sh” (Edit: the flash-all script is located in the nexus firmware tgz!)
During all of this I also saw an inconsistent reliability of the adb/fastboot connection. Sometimes I needed to unplug and replug the nexus 7 a couple of times until it got recognized by adb/fastboot and could successfully be flashed.…"

How do I "verified osx did detect the device “fastboot devices” -> should list a device with status “fastboot" ? This is where I got stucked
