I just noticed the notification that the OTA has downloaded and is ready to install on my Nexus 10. But after reading all the posts regarding KitKat on the Nexus 10, I've decided I'm going to stick with 4.3 for a while. I'm running stock 4.3 but am unlocked & rooted w/ TWRP installed and I may have made some mods that probably would prevent the OTA from installing. But I want to make sure that it doesn't update. If I just delete the OTA zip from cache, is there anything I can do to prevent it from re-downloading; a setting I can set to prevent the system from even checking for updates? And will deleting the update zip remove the notification? And if there is an update zip in cache and I restart the device, will the update be automatically installed even if I don't hit the "Restart & Install" button in the System Update screen?

What's the most effective way of blocking the update while still running the stock ROM?

Phoenix, AZ. I'm not sure when i receive the Ota for KK as i haven't looked at the Nexus 10 for a week. I did see that it would be available through Nov. 24 via wifi.

Miss the dual payne that i had w 4.3. Seems to work the sane as b4 the ota. Well, Firefox works perfectly now. Also able to watch Yifi Torrents movies on the HDMI (only could get stills with 4.3).

this update shouldnt of been anything but an incremental update, its a joke this should of been 4.3.2 not 4.4

Clear the data of Google Services Framework so you'll get your update, I guess.
[Nexus 10 General] Blocoholi:
I know, but I don't wanna go down this route again as I don't want that annoying Google services play store problem again.

I promised myself this time just patiently wait for the OTA. Harder done than said.... LOL
[Nexus 10 General] jjdevega:
I would advise against this. Unless you want to have problems. Here is a link that talks about why you shouldn't clear GSF.

Use Puffin Browser.
[Nexus 10 General] jormapaappa1235:
Hmm, I did that, the tablet found the update and everything works like a charm. Of course I advice not to do it if it causes some kind of problems.

[Nexus 10 General] Matt James:
As of today I still haven't received it..I also did the "clearing Google framework" method (before it was advised to not to do that) and it still didn't get pushed to my device. I am starting to get a little "What the f***...." now.
[Nexus 10 General] Activat:
Just updated in South UK. Not seeing much change as yet. Most likely due to only having it across the weekend but the update wasn't available on Sunday.
[Nexus 10 General] timfimjim:
Obviously it's up to you but I just flashed the OTA manually. I was complete stock 4.3 and I was a bit nervous about using ADB, but it's actually super simple and has very little risk. I followed this guide http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...e-nexus-7-now-manual-download-link-available/

obviously you need to download the correct ota zip and when typing adb command use the one relevant to your zip but apart from that it's simple and i've got kitkat without needing to wait!
[Nexus 10 General] Dodazza:
Hi everybody,

I received the notification of the update today. I'm in Italy but the device was bought in the US.... I'm stock 4.3 but unlocked and rooted. Shall I have just to unroot?? Shall I have to lock it again too???

The update is full wipe??

Has anybody found a way to see flash video in the browser???

Speak of the devil.....I just got the ota. Been playing with it and I can say that there is definitely a performance increase and my WiFi is much better now.
[Nexus 10 General] hlaalu:
Ugh I didn't have my brain plugged in today. I saw the ota was downloaded and I hit install, I'm rooted on stock 4.3. It installed and now bootloops at the animation. I can still get into CWM which is weird, because I thought the OTA writes a new recovery. Anyways, I guess that's what factory images are for :angel:
[Nexus 10 General] southtynesider:
Got the update

Finally gave way and cleared GSF and got the update. Despite all the dire warnings, the world didn't end, the house didn't fall down and my wife didn't leave me (OK I might do it again to see if the last one works). All the apps seem to work alright.

First impressions - things seem a bit quicker and smoother and I like the integrated printing. Is it me or is the display brighter and sharper? Not a huge update but another step in the right direction. ??
[Nexus 10 General] Blocoholi:
you are all lucky... I'm still waiting.

Never had to wait that long..

[Nexus 10 General] samagon:
Just got the update.
[Nexus 10 General] zorniki:
Me too. I hesitated for a second there, but then went on and just let it work the magic. So far nothing seems to have gotten worse in terms of performance. Only slight disadvantage is the phone UI styled settings menu.

Gotta test that 1440p clip from "TimeScapes" to see if that is still smooth. :)

Update: the 1440p clip in MX-Player struggles - badly! Don't know if thats resolved by a factory reset, but the performance in MX-Player did take a very noticeable hit. :(

I've now done a factory reset to see if it's of any help. Since I've not installed that many apps, I guess that's a pretty easy task.

If you get the OTA do this before you reboot to get the link

adb devices

adb logcat -d -f /sdcard/logcat.txt *:V
[Nexus 10 General] saturn_de:
Or, if you forgot it before you updated, you can search afterwards the output of

adb shell dumpsys dropbox --print

for the URLs
[Nexus 10 General] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I just looked in /cache just now (just so's I know where to go) using ES File Explorer File Manager & it just has a folder called Metoffice in it. 1. Is this normal & 2. Do we need to check for this OTA file before we accept the OTA update or after (like will it disappear)?

Thanks
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
When you get the notification you have an update don't install it right away. Then look in cache. Soon as you install it the zip will go bye bye. Don't worry about things in the cache. It is normal
[Nexus 10 General] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Brilliant thank you so much. :)
[Nexus 10 General] anjo88:
is nothing here yet https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=pt-PT
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
Nope.. Welcome to one of the worst handled Android rollouts ever.. Usually AOSP is pushed for all devices, then a few days or less later the images follow for all devices then the OTA will eventually trickle out. I've never seen AOSP pushed, then weeks later the OTA but only for two devices and they don't even have images yet.

Just mind boggling bad
[Nexus 10 General] stiggy2012:
Yep. I really am getting increasingly pissed off with Google these days in general. The factory images must be ready if the OTA is going out, so why haven't they made them available yet? Google were never anything like this incompetent before. I think the loss of figures such as Andy Ruben and JBQ is making itself felt.

/rant over :cyclops:
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
I don't think this was planned.. I think the lose of some key people have a lot to do with this fragmented and horrendous unveiling of KitKat. This is a spitting image of a carrier rollout which is something Google tries to market the Nexus brand against. I'm sure heads are rolling.. There is just no way this was planned.. If you could pick the worst way to rollout a major Android update on the Nexus line... What they are doing right now would be it.
[Nexus 10 General] kylealanr:
I don't remember Google ever hiding behind the word "soon" before either. HTC at least gave a timeline, and they've been updating progress on each build. No one will be mad if they can't get it working properly in time, at least sane people, because they were transparent and ambitious. Google just says "in the coming weeks" and "soon" like a carrier. I had a feeling the Nexus 10 wasn't playing well with Kit Kat and that was the delay, but the Nexus 4 is baffling. I've been running a port of the Nexus 5 factory image for over a week, and it's completely stable. Runs better than ever.
[Nexus 10 General] fredphoesh:
You know, I'm sitting here with my N10 and my wife's N7 and don't think anything at all is "wrong", "odd", "bad" or that there is anything remarkable at all. When the OTA arrives, that is when it will have arrived. Seempulz!

In the meantime, where is that effing update already!
[Nexus 10 General] BackDaws:
nothing yet in the UK :)
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
I'm having hi doubts the N10 OTA was even pushed.. Between Reddit, Android Police, and Google plus I haven't seen a single person mention getting the update on the N10.. Only the N7
[Nexus 10 General] pfmiller:
Are you kidding? Google has *always* said "in the coming weeks" for updates. It's frustrating, but it's certainly not new. Even app updates like Hangouts are "in the coming weeks". I still haven't gotten it on my devices a week and a half later.
[Nexus 10 General] starkilling:
Nah, I've seen one guy on XDA and one on reddit.
[Nexus 10 General] kylealanr:
I could be mistaken. But usually, the factory images come before OTAs. This time just feels different.
[Nexus 10 General] PhoenixPath:
...and yet neither of them managed to pull an OTA file or link.

Awesome.

[Nexus 10 General] x4kep:
I have OTA ~7 hours ago and have boot loop.
[Nexus 10 General] Domino45:
I am alexpasquarella on Reddit. I've been lurking this post ever since what happened to me with the N10 4.4 update. I can assure you all that the 4.4 rollout has started, but after I got it the first time (last night around 11:00 pm EST is when I turned on my device and saw it waiting) and my device soft bricked, I have not been able to pull it again. I had to do a factory reset with the 4.3 image and everything.
[Nexus 10 General] nightfox11:
hard reset it through recovery mode
[Nexus 10 General] starkilling:
Could you try clearing data & cache for GSF? Maybe rebooting and checking again? You got it once, I figure you should be able to get it again. Which country are you from?

Oh, and, obviously, don't just go right ahead installing it. Pull the file or filename from /cache.
[Nexus 10 General] Domino45:
Currently trying. I'm in NY. I've done a few reboots, and I already cleared the framework once. Just cleared the GSF cache/data again and did a reboot. Still nothing. That's the first thing I thought: I got it once, why wouldn't I just get it again once I was on the right built (JWR66Y correct?).

I'm determined to get this OTA link!
[Nexus 10 General] x4kep:
It did not help. I'm flash 4.3 through fastboot. OTA does not return anymore.
[Nexus 10 General] starkilling:
Please flash without the cache.img image. And remove fastboot erase cache from the flash-all script.
[Nexus 10 General] x4kep:
Unfortunately too late, I already flashed

OTA size was 219.8mb
[Nexus 10 General] jdbeitz:
Someone give us an image. Arghhh.

How come they release OTA but not stock images? You'd think simultaneous release would happen
[Nexus 10 General] starkilling:
Seems to me Google really screwed up this rollout. I don't remember it ever being this poorly organized and announced.
[Nexus 10 General] stiggy2012:
Was your device modded at all? Just wondering why it bricked your tablet...
[Nexus 10 General] x4kep:
Root and TWRP Recovery
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
All I know is 4.4 better be perfect. This whole dog and pony show has grown long in the tooth.
[Nexus 10 General] Domino45:
That's exactly as mine was, and my 4.4 OTA failed as well. Same boat as you pal! I'm still trying to get the OTA back. I still don't see why I got it last night but can't get it today.

I agree, this entire situation has just been stupid and very un-Google-like.
[Nexus 10 General] VivaErBetis:
So, of I understood well, for the people that have received and installed the OTA it resulted in a brick... Maybe Google has delayed the OTA to investigate/correct that problem...
[Nexus 10 General] ChrisM75:
You need stock recovery for it to work anyway dont you? Rooted is fine (although you will lose it), but not custom recovery.
[Nexus 10 General] starkilling:
Some people have updated just fine. The bootloop usually happens on modded nexus devices and can be fixed with a very simple /data wipe, but our update-recieving friends didn't know that.
[Nexus 10 General] Domino45:
I DID know that, and a wipe within recovery is the first thing I tried, but I was still seeing a bootloop. When my device wasn't turning on I was more panicked about it rather than an OTA link ;) I contributed here to solidify a point that the N10 4.4 rollout indeed was underway, and I have been trying for a while now to get the OTA back so I can give the link to you good people. I didn't even know what an "ota link" was before this whole deal, so I regret ever saying anything at all. I already feel bad enough for passing up the opportunity last night.
[Nexus 10 General] starkilling:
Chill, man. It's just an update, it's alright :)
[Nexus 10 General] samagon:
Google has always said "soon" and "in the coming weeks". I've had a nexus phone since nexus was nexus (n1), and we used to joke about the timelines. 'Next month' meant 'maybe this quarter'. 'A few weeks' meant 'maybe this month, but probably next'. 'This week' meant 'this month'. 'Soon' meant 'we have no idea'.

Calm down. This will roll out like every other ota for any other nexus, slower than you want.

From someone using a nexus 5 with kk, you're not really missing much. It's not like it was when we were waiting for 2.3.7. That was a huge update!
[Nexus 10 General] Noobla_Khan:
Really guys...why would you try an OTA on a modded device? I'm not saying it can't work but common sense dictates your best chances for success would be to have your device completely stock. Not like it's hard to get it back to stock. :silly:
[Nexus 10 General] Domino45:
Haha I'm chill! Just frustrated about the whole thing. I turned off my N10 and I'm gonna leave it off. That's what worked last time hahaha
[Nexus 10 General] mbirth:
SuperSU? Because since 4.3 it uses install-recovery.sh (as explained here) and that's why the OTA fails to install. I believe a custom recovery is not a problem (as it gets overwritten at the next boot anyways).

If you unroot before installing the OTA, you should be fine.
[Nexus 10 General] VivaErBetis:
I give up for today. In fact I'm not very interested in the update since I know that webview is based in chromiun so no flash or any other plugin will be allowed (bye bye to my football matches TV sessions with the tablet). And things like not translucent bar make it a decaffeinated Kit Kat release, like this:
[Nexus 10 General] jackie_jagger:
Those who did get the 4.4 OTA and installed it, what's the performance like?
[Nexus 10 General] Aleq:
Nobody has it yet AFAIK :) I mean at least not successfully installed
[Nexus 10 General] SeaFractor:
Pretty good, but that's anecdotal until I run some benches.

To return to stock, can I just....

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

Thanks!
[Nexus 10 General] VivaErBetis:
Same error message with TWRP. Just replace TWRP with the stock recovery from 4.3 and sideload the OTA. Then you can replace the stock recovery with TWRP again and reroot.
[Nexus 10 General] styckx:
Yep... It's gross on a 10inch screen.. What were they thinking?
[Nexus 10 General] DarkSi08:
No tablet UI in the settings menu, as mentioned before. No ART compiler in dev settings, either. Combined with the lack of a better-looking launcher (they could have ditched the bars, even if they couldn't do Google Now on the left pane), I'm pretty disappointed so far, feature-wise.

Overall, I will say that it 'feels' a bit smoother, but time will tell on that one. For the most part, it seems like a 'white task bar icon' mod.

As I type this, I just realized - they're not even using the new condensed font in the app tray! WTF, Google? Aesthetically, other than the white taskbar icons and two app icons, you'd never know the difference between this and ICS. I thought they were trying to unify the experience here...
[Nexus 10 General] kingofcomedy:
Try CWM 6.0.4.3 from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. As soon as my nandroid is finished I'll try to flash too. :)

[Nexus 10 General] VivaErBetis:
Don't bother. It can't flash 4.4. because of SElinux. Just replace your custom recovery by the stock recovery from 4.3 and sideload the OTA. Then reboot in Bootloader and replace the stock recovery with TWRP or CWM (or whathever), re-root (if you want), wipe dalvik and cache and reboot for the first time in 4.4 :) It takes a couple of minutes that first time.
[Nexus 10 General] armandosal:
Sounds endlessly complicated. I think I prefer to wait until someone releases a flashable zip for use in a custom recovery. Also that's all I can do because I'm not going to be around one of my pcs until the weekend.
