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.
4.4 for nexus 10 rolling out starting today?

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.

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!
Please flash without the cache.img image. And remove fastboot erase cache from the flash-all script.
Someone give us an image. Arghhh.
How come they release OTA but not stock images? You'd think simultaneous release would happen

Seems to me Google really screwed up this rollout. I don't remember it ever being this poorly organized and announced.
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.
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...
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.
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.

Chill, man. It's just an update, it's alright
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!

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:

41Nexus 10 OTA link I just pulled from logcat: android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_mantaray/279e5e2396480cbffd97943a5db5bbc743ef7e77.signed-mantaray-KRT16O-from-JWR66Y.279e5e23.zip4Factory image is out and I'm doing it up.. I hate OS "updates".. I love clean fresh installs..
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mantaray-krt16o-factory-85349288.tgz3My experience
1. Was 4.3 rooted stock with custom kernel and custom recovery + xposed framework
2. Downloaded OTA to PC
3. Downloaded factory 4.3 image to PC
4. Extracted recovery.img, boot.img, system.img from factory image
5. Flashed using fastboot command recovery, kernel, system
6. Sideloaded OTA
7. Flashed custom recovery
8. Flashed root (supersu 1.69)
I have stock android 4.4 ROM with root and custom recovery

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 bad2
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.
