Did you have a custom recovery? Or were you completely stock except for root? It should have updated fine if all you have was root with no other modifications.
Well, what you are describing (the Android with the exclamation mark) is stock recovery. How did you get there? Did you boot into the bootloader and then stock recovery? Did you accept the OTA in the Android OS, and it rebooted into what you're seeing now and got stuck?
That's odd that it would get stuck. Have you tried turning it off by holding the power button and then turning it back on?
You gotta hold the power button for about 10 seconds (maybe more) to force it to turn off.
Tap the Power + Volume Up button at the same time. Tap, don't hold them down. It may take a couple tries, but eventually, you'll see the recovery menu pop up on the top left corner of the screen with options to reboot, wipe cache, etc.
Just highlight reboot system now using the volume keys, and select it using the power button.
Right on. Glad it worked out for you. :good: By the way, you may want to check the version in the settings to make sure it update properly to latest version.
That shouldn't be it. What error does it give you when you try to update? It will say what is keeping it from updating. If you have deleted/uninstalled and system apps (not just disabled), the update will fail. It's hard to diagnose without more info.
Since 4.4.4 is already out, why don't you just fastboot flash everything EXCEPT USERDATA from the 4.4.4 factory image. As long as you don't flash userdata, your data will remain intact.
EDIT: Oh. For future reference, the OTAs are downloaded to /cache on your device.

I strongly advise AGAINST using a toolkit. Especially since (no offense) you don't seem to know the basics of what you are trying to do. I recommend following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701. It's for the Nexus 5, but the procedure for the Nexus 10 (as well as the Nexus 7 (2013)) is identical. Just make sure you have the correct 4.4.4 factory image for our device (manta). Since you have already used the toolkit in the past, you probably already have the drivers. Just flash each image file individually by following Method 2 in the OP from that thread. If you don't want to lose your data, DO NOT FLASH USERDATA.IMG.
