4.4.1 stock ROM, Franco #19, rooted, and TWRP.

Flashed the ~1.6 MB update from androidcentral followed by SuperSU, then wiped cache/dalvik.

Maintained everything after reboot.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] ComposMentis:
Play music is still automatically starting when it connects to my cars bluetooth after the update. This is a major nuisance because my phone will start streaming over the network and if I don't stop it then it will kill my battery and eat up data. Pain in my ass.
[Nexus 5 General] Mindspin_311:
Still dont have a single update, on Sprint, purchased via Google Play.
[Nexus 5 General] ogboot:
I do not have this behavior with my 2012 ford focus. Stock, rooted with faux kernel. Dalvik optimization sometimes.
[Nexus 5 General] n1oty:
I was successful by putting the zip file for 4.4 to 4.4.2 into the /cache file on the Nexus 5, then flashing it with flashify and following instructions on screen. I have stock recovery with root previously performed by Chainfire's auto root. I maintained root after the update, but I have the paid SU and I checked off the setting to preserve root.

[Nexus 5 General] nolook:
mine will always do this unless unless you kill the Google music services...

[Nexus 5 General] nabolito:
was on bigxie's 4.4.1 Rom with Xposed with Gravity Box module...

get on TWRP recovery

flashed the OTA 4.4.2 .zip

flashed supersu-1.80

Reboot

update Xposed

works for me, so on 4.4.2 now ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Bdoggy25:
This is stupid, I don't even have the 4.4.1 update. I don't root or sideload or any of that stuff.

Edit:My Nexus 7 has both KitKat updates.
[Nexus 5 General] AceKingNYC:
I updated to 4.4.2 the same way I did 4.4.1

Im stock, rooted, with TWRP

Downloaded the OTA

Dragged the OTA and SuperSu 1.8 to the phone

flashed OTA then flashed supersu 1.8

reebot

voila

Updated and kept root. no issues
[Nexus 5 General] Valdeck:
I keep getting an error that says build prop has unexpected contents. Any idea what this is? the only value I changed was the dpi which I changed back.

EDIT

Got it fixed. I had to flash the system.img from 4.4 as restoring a old build.prop gave me a bootloop.
[Nexus 5 General] pickandwhammy:
Next time just edit the updater-script and remove those lines that perform integrity checks (will end with: abort("...has unexpected contents") )
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
That's not the best option, since the update uses deltas and relies on the initial file being a specific one.
[Nexus 5 General] fakitol:
Updated successfully with cwm+root+franco r19 kernel. Only lost the root.
[Nexus 5 General] Lettuce!:
Woke up to 4.4.2 update this morning as well...

Weird how I heard a lot of people still waiting for or didn't get the 4.4.1 OTA so I flashed that one manually, but got 4.4.2 OTA really quickly. Wonder if still some folk waiting for 4.4.1... or if they will jump from 4.4.0 to 4.4.2...
[Nexus 5 General] jonyid:
I'm one of those who are yet to receive any update at all. Got mine on the day after it was released so one of the first devices
[Nexus 5 General] isaw:
likewise, i'm still on 4.4. Done a checkin and rebooted. Nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
No updates yet for India seems Nexus is late here...
[Nexus 5 General] thegr8anand:
Not true. I woke up today morning and i had received it OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] ratedr75:
Same boat as you mate, except I got mine on the day of release, tried the checkin and rebooted and still nothing, bloody hell Google!!! :D
[Nexus 5 General] Aerowinder:
If you don't want to wait... why are you waiting? It takes 2 minutes to update.
[Nexus 5 General] ratedr75:
Because I dont feel comfortable in rooting and doing whatever else is needed to a £300 phone, sorry to upset anyone but I worked hard fr the money for this phone and it's fine so far. I just want the updates, not too much to ask?
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
You don't have to root. You don't have to void your warranty. ADB sideload was intentionally put in by Google for this reason. You literally install drivers, plug your phone in and run 1 command.

If you want the update to come to you, just wait for it. OTAs don't hit all phones at once, they roll out over a couple weeks otherwise their servers would be over loaded.
[Nexus 5 General] pickandwhammy:
First off, you don't need root to update Android - stock recovery has root access and it will install signed zips just fine. Secondly, no offence, but why exactly did you buy a developer device if you intend to use it as is?

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Hmm, I figured that it's a delta update because of the size (hence took NANDroids before applying the "hack"), but flashing 4.4.1 that way worked fine for me, despite being rooted, with the modded Email apk, and having a few Xposed modules.
[Nexus 5 General] Kristi-Tech:
I did flash the system.img at first to undo the MotoX dalvic cache optimization, flashed stock kernel and then tried on custom recovery but didn't worked. So that was the only way I had to update.
[Nexus 5 General] Lettuce!:
I did somewhere on these forums comments from a Google engineer who said it's all luck of the drawer. I think they select 1% then 5% then 20% etc etc to check that all the updates worked successfully.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
I agree - ADB sideload is a Google supported feature, and works just fine.

Developers may consider the Nexus 5 as a "Developer device", but the Nexus 5 is an Android smartphone - sold to developers and non-developers alike. Great specs and timely updates are a huge draw to this device. Some folks are fine with using Stock android as it is, and don't want to risk anything (however minimal the risk) for a few additional features that may not be important to them. :)
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
Bro I haven't got any update :( don't know why.
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
How are people getting the OTA? I haven't even gotten the 4.4.1 OTA yet...I'm still on 4.4 and system shows up to date.
[Nexus 5 General] Tony_YYZ:
It amazes me how nobody bothers to read anything on this forum.

The update is staggered over a two week period. It hits devices randomly. If you don't want to wait, download the ZIP package and flash it via custom recovery or sideload via ADB if you're stock.
[Nexus 5 General] isaw:
The "adb sideload" worked fine, i'm now on 4.4.2.

Also slapped in the new Hangouts, but to be honest, nothing much different that I notice..
[Nexus 5 General] jkcarp94:
The Nexus 5 lost its developer device badge the day it became available through consumer retail channels. This is no more a developer device than any other phone on a shelf at Best Buy or the carrier. Can you do more with it? Sure. But this is a mainstream device at this point.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexonian:
Same here.... so I just sideloaded both of them, tired of that stupid update roulette.
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
I understand the staggered idea...but there's a crazy number of people on this forum that have gotten the OTA sent to them, but nobody else I know has gotten the update.

Despite what people here seem to think, XDA represents a *very* small number of users, relatively. Having a good percentage of people here all getting the update is strange, since not many other people have.
[Nexus 5 General] ImolaDan:
I've seen "Improved LED notifications" mentioned for this update, does anyone know what that has actually done?
[Nexus 5 General] daemonios:
Add me to the list of those who never got the 4.4.1 OTA. But today at about 13:00 UTC I got the notification for the 4.4.2 update. I'm still stock, unrooted, locked and in no rush to get these updates, so even if I was a little jealous of all the people getting 4.4.1 I'd be fine waiting for Google's roll-out.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
Do I have to rename the zip from android central to "update.zip" to flash it via stock recovery? I tried flashing it via twrp and got a status 7.
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
Totally agree with you Bro... Let's see how soon I get any update... The only reason I want this update is to fix camera quality...
[Nexus 5 General] TheAquanox:
I never got 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 is HORRIBLE!

It was butter smooth before but now it's choppy everywhere... ... WTF Google!
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
You don't need to rename the file. Are you sure you are using the correct file? And are you on the stock ROM/kernel etc? (custom recovery is ok)

There are two versions

4.4 -> 4.4.2: KOT49H from KRT16M

4.4.1 -> 4.4.2: KOT49H from KOT49E

[Nexus 5 General] bash156:
Just updated to 4.4.2 and the video camera is darker than the photos
[Nexus 5 General] Jazd71:
Not had the update yet and by the sounds of it I'm happy to wait till they fix the issues with it
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I'm not experiencing that at all. Try reflashing.

This has been discussed in several different threads already.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
+1

installing 4.4.2 right now from 4.4
[Nexus 5 General] stevemw:
Jumping right to 4.4.2.
[Nexus 5 General] samerotica:
But Bro I have heard from most people that it improves a lot without any lag.
[Nexus 5 General] daemonios:
Haven't noticed any lag. Phone was fine before the update, still fine afterwards.

[EDIT] For reference, I'm on stock 4.4.2, unrooted, locked, Dalvik.
[Nexus 5 General] flo_O:
4.2.2 is running great for me. No lag or other bad stuff. I'm rooted/odexed with xposed/gravitybox and all is running great :)
[Nexus 5 General] d_phekt:
No lag here either. If anything 4.4.2 seems much smoother than both 4.4 and 4.4.1. Rooted stock/odex with no mods.
[Nexus 5 General] wirelessFREAK:
I'm on Bone stock 4.4.2, and the battery life is total crap
[Nexus 5 General] ImolaDan:
Seems fine here.
[Nexus 5 General] icy56:
What is the screen on time? I'm getting much worse battery life with the same usage. Usually it'll last me till I go to bed, now it won't last and I have to plug my phone in
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
This is BS IMO. Why? There are much much more iPhones/iPads and they all get update at a same time. Maybe in a first few hours servers are over loaded, but you can easily update next day. So Google should update Nexus devices at a same time or at least in a two or three days. Waiting weeks for a same update on a same phone is ridiculous IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] CPaladin:
Odd, I actually got better battery lifetime today after update. 10h total and still 54% left. 2h screen on time, 40min video watching, 30min game(PAD) and 1hour Sleep as android usage, with some SMS and email and updating apps, on wifi all the time. Normaly I'd have down to 30% at this point of day.
[Nexus 5 General] ImolaDan:
42 minutes - admittedly low, but it's still the same sort of drain I'd usually have for that much usage.

Checked against the previous overnight drain (recorded by battery snap) - midnight to 8:00:

1st December - 4.4 - 93% to 90%

9th December - 4.4.1 - 70% to 67%

This morning - 4.4.2 - 84% to 80%

[edit] I can't ever remember having Google Services Framework in the battery usage list, which was giving people issues a few weeks back, perhaps because I've disabled a bunch of apps I never use (Play books/games/magazines/moves & tv, G+, news and weather).
[Nexus 5 General] samirspatil:
Did not notice any significant difference before / after the update. AM on Stock 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 General] dn*:
They stagger them in order to do testing, making sure the updates are ok. It's sort of a BETA. If you're impatient, download and install it manually.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
This is a Nexus phone. Just do it yourself. It's really easy.
[Nexus 5 General] Djapatos:
Its really easy if you can get the drivers installed properly :mad:

In my case i gave up after trying all the methods to install drivers. I mean.. All the methods.
[Nexus 5 General] SamBG:
Its very easy bro..u usin windows 8??

If my post helped u a bit...help me by pressin the THANK button!!!
[Nexus 5 General] Djapatos:
8.1 and yea i ve done that step to allow you to installed unsigned drivers and everything.. Nothing worked.. Still get the device not found after typing to sideload command
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Are you rooted? If so, just flash TWRP using TWRP manager. Then reboot into recovery and flash the stock rooted rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557523
[Nexus 5 General] Djapatos:
No not rooted... And even if i wanted to root, i would still have this driver problem anyways
[Nexus 5 General] TXRaunchy:
they are sending out 4.4.2 ota since they realized that 4.4.1 had bugs. so it will skip this update.

however, there are still bugs in 4.4.2

i haven't received it yet since i just got the phone two days ago.
[Nexus 5 General] t0p8uzz:
Got the link to that specific 4.4 radio?
[Nexus 5 General] Valdeck:
Did you make sure to download the SDK and update everything in 4.4 and the usb drivers?
[Nexus 5 General] CMullin17:
Had something similar and then tried using a different USB cable, hey presto it worked!
[Nexus 5 General] Djapatos:
Its all good..

Got my update yesterday afternoon
[Nexus 5 General] monilchheda:
I was stock, custom twrp recovery, and rooted with 4.4. Got the OTA yesterday.

Turns out that I have lost the twrp recovery and root.

What will be the quickest way to get the custom recovery and root back? I'm new to flashing... So specific commands or instructions are welcome.
[Nexus 5 General] ImolaDan:
FYI those using MX Player, it was updated on the market today. Need to update the custom codec too.

[edit] Clarification: updated to support 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, meaning they probably just disabled the message saying the version is not supported. :p
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
Install twrp, then goto advanced>reboot and it'll root the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] romracer:
See my reply above
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Same place they always have. You'll need a file explorer with root access such as es file explorer, it's in the cache folder. Look in /device, not in the emulated folder that it takes you to by default.
[Nexus 5 General] romracer:
Here's the OTA: http://android.clients.google.com/p...ed-hammerhead-KOT49H-from-KOT49E.537367d5.zip

Credits to Android Central.
[Nexus 5 General] tyler.durden:
Is this it? Looks to be right with file size and download time...
[Nexus 5 General] pister:
Yes, I found it, but I have a custom recovery.

Thank you,
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Someone tell me where to find the download?
[Nexus 5 General] sta1cs:
Very weird google OTA'd updates first (4.4.1) now 4.4.2 before factory images, they posted factory images first for nexus 4 then updated them after once it was bug-free and OTA'd it.

Got it! - https://mega.co.nz/#!5gE1xRaY!5P3OWYc053qFnNS2ynA1LOUtE6uHNLiUze-sKwF1hgY
[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
Hmm having already made some mods to 4.4.1 this could be messy. I'd have to flash system back to 4.4 via fastboot, then reapply the 4.4.1 OTA, then apply the 4.4.2, then re-root, re-mod.

Maybe I should just wait until a repack is available.
[Nexus 5 General] itsfozzy:
Any news on a new baseband or bootloader?
[Nexus 5 General] Tudorrrr:
Ok guys, I'm getting a legitimate mind-**** here. Is it just a bug? Is it a new version of Android?
[Nexus 5 General] bladehelix:
Can we download the 4.4.2 OTA zip and flash it via TWRP?
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Just got it OTA and was able to install it even though I am rooted with TWRP and a custom kernel. It installed through TWRP no problem. Rebooting now and upgrading all the apps. WIll report if there are any issues, but all looks fine right now.
[Nexus 5 General] OMEiAM:
I got it also. It was a great surprise! I never got the 4.4.1 OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] pister:
I can confirm I installed the update and lost custom recovery, but I didn't lost root. So I flashed again the custom recovery and everything is OK.
[Nexus 5 General] blackalice:
Flashed in TWRP - on Android is Upgrading screen, so it seems like all is well :)

edit: i noticed one of the main files it was flashing is to do with telephony - maybe a fix for the dodgy signal some were having?
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Don't know about that, but I figured I might as well try installing it, since I saw that another person who was on TWRP said they were able to (from just the restart and install). My phone is doing the "android is upgrading" thing now, which is going to take a few more minutes to finish since I'm on ART, but it seems that you should be able to. When I did restart/install it loaded into TWRP and seemed to load it there just fine.

My guess is, with it being such a small update in size from 4.4.1, that there are no kernel changes.
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Weird, because I lost root, but I did not lose custom recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] daystrom:
When I got my Nexus 5 a few weeks ago it immediately downloaded an update. I believe the version was listed as 4.4. Today I got 4.4.2.

Instantly noticed louder overall speaker volume and better haptic feedback. Phone seems to even run a bit snappier.

Happy!
[Nexus 5 General] polaris68:
Please let it be an improvement to the radio.
[Nexus 5 General] sparhawk6:
I just got the notice.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
After downloading the update file, I tried to flash in TWRP (similar to how I installed 4.4.1) - but it failed. (I'm stock, rooted, no mods)

Saw a couple of error messages in TWRP

Error executing updater binary in zip .....

Package expects build fingerprint of Google ....

Any suggestions on how to fix?

Edit: Never mind - redownloaded, and it worked ok
[Nexus 5 General] Kensant:
Nexus5

Updated to 4.4.2!! Sound is a bit higher!

Baseband XXXXXXX-25.0.23 ... -------- Kernel 3.4.0-gadb2201

Camera is a bit faster from 4.4.1 i guess :victory::victory:
[Nexus 5 General] skippa:
still nothing for me, not even had 4.4.1 :rolleyes:

Summary:
[Nexus 5 General] jasonamd:
I created a topic earlier when I found Sprint updated their site today. They removed the KOT49E listing and replaced it with KRT49H and listed a release date of today (I think that was a typo now because there is a post in their forums from a employee announcing an update to KOT49H). So apparently Sprint knew about the update earlier today.
[Nexus 5 General] pister:
I have all stock except recovery, I have CWM. When I finished updating and want to reboot, I selected the option to keep SU and worked fine. The same happened with de 4.4.1 update. Only flashed again recovery
[Nexus 5 General] dave__:
Currently running 4.4, rooted, and uninstalled Xposed. Tried to install the 4.4.2 update and got an error about a build.prop change. Changed that, but now I can't get the trigger to restart and install the update. The file is in my cache folder.

How can I trigger it to install again?
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
For some reason TWRP didn't offer me that option, even though it usually does. Now I have to scramble and find the supersu zip, as I was relying on TWRP for that feature up to this point. Not that big of a deal though I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] sumo75:

Just install it from the recovery
[Nexus 5 General] gerikss:
I was on stock 4.4 with TRWP recovery. Got update message (size was 54.2 MB).Clicked install - > rebooted into recovery and...nothing happened...
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Nice, so more tweaks to the camera it looks like. It almost seems like Google is taking the camera experience seriously, which is a major surprise.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Is there an updated boot loader and modem as well?
[Nexus 5 General] Jur1nator:
That would be the biggest upgrade I desire right now, after 4.4.1 made the reception considerably worse..

But does seem to be the same. 23 radio :(
[Nexus 5 General] Tomatot-:
Sure great news.

Next step : change UI
[Nexus 5 General] Thyria:
So baseband and radio are about the same as 4.4.1?
[Nexus 5 General] pranavt2000:
Goes without saying, but there's no new radio in the update zip.
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Hahaha, lets not go nuts. That might give me a heart attack.

But seriously Google, please murder your camera app and come up with something better.
[Nexus 5 General] pister:
CWM helped me with this update and with the 4.4.1 too
[Nexus 5 General] jonyid:
Not even got the 4.1.1 update this is ridiculous
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Heh, I kept root, but lost custom recovery. (which makes more sense to me really)

I'm sure I'll probably just have to reload TWRP.
[Nexus 5 General] aavvaallooss:
So strange

Despite root, custom recovery and custom kernel i get new OTA (4.4.2) warning

Can I update directly or must I return to "stock" first like when I update to 4.4.1???
[Nexus 5 General] irus:
So I just got the update as well and here is my experience

I am rooted with twrp. I clicked on reboot & install after getting the message. The phone booted into twrp and automatically installed the update. upon boot it said "Android is upgrading". After the phone booted up I went to settings and it does say 4.4.2. I went to test root and I did indeed lose root and twrp. So that will have to be done again.
[Nexus 5 General] sindroidx:
Figured, the moment I encrypt my phone for work I see this... fml
[Nexus 5 General] bladehelix:
Successfully upgraded via TWRP. Didn't loose root (but I'm using the paid version of superSU) or recovery. Reset DPI in build.prop to default before I upgraded and changed it back to 445.
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
I had the same. Updated fine, but lost root for sure and custom kernel as well I think. Flashed both root and custom kernel again and I am back up and running fine. I just hit the restart & install button and it installed fine through TWRP.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
My camera still has dark video camera and the build number hasn't changed
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Looks like App Ops is broken. Crashes as soon as I try to launch it. Hopefully I dont lose the functionality entirely and they are able to update their app to still function.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
I tried flashing in twrp and got a status 7. I'm stock rooted ROM, stock kernel and debloated with unlocked bootloader. I want to get OTAs... Maybe I will just stay stock from now on...
[Nexus 5 General] blackhemi4x4:
I flashed it with CWM. So far so good. I'm also xposed. Lost root but that's an easy fix.
[Nexus 5 General] mrvirginia:
for those that continue to ask, yes it is a legit OTA and not a bug. they have made more changes to the Camera, Gallery, FaceLock and some libs, to be specific

ninja'd
[Nexus 5 General] imablackhat:
Downloaded the ota. Rebooted. Flashed in twrp then superuser zip then all set.
[Nexus 5 General] pokerfake:
Hmm... the number changed

Feeling any difference?
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Does everyone still have dark camcorder?
[Nexus 5 General] Henrock11:
Nobody has answered this but is their a difference in the baseband for those that had 4.4.1?
[Nexus 5 General] dave__:
Sorry, I should have included that I have stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
Did u guys change the name of the zip?
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Its so weird how this works. I am stock rom, custom kernel, rooted with TWRP recovery. I flashed the OTA fine, and just lost root.
