Update Androïd from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4

Hello everybody !
I just browsed all the 97 pages of that thread, and hope I didn't miss any essential post relating to my request (sorry but I'm french, and after having read so many messages in english, I've got a headache now !!!)
So... I rooted my Acer B1-730-HD two years ago (it came with Androïd 4.2.2), but now I'm not so satisfied... So I successfully used the Phone Flash Tool to restaure a clean factory default Kitkat firmware (version 4.4.2).
But now, I'd like to run Androïd 4.4.4 on this device...
Question 1 : is it possible to have an Androïd 4.4.4 O/S with that device Acer Iconia One 7 B1-730HD ?
-> if Yes :
Question 2 : do I have to re-root the device to get that 4.4.4 version ???
-> if Yes :
Question 3 : How / where can I get this update suite ???

Thank you, thank you very much for all your answers !!!

The size of the recovery, boot, and fastboot images on the OP are different than the images on the OS .zip on Acer's website.

Is there a custom recovery yet?
I don't think there can be unless someone figures out how to patch the bootloader or IFWI.

Anyone have the stock rom of the B1-730 (non HD)?
After trying to use the rom avaliable in the Acer's website my tablet freezes in the loading screen.
It is still possible to acess the recovery mode, but when i'm try to "apply update from external storage" using the rom, after a while an error occurs.

Lollipop or Marshmallow ROMs for B1-730HD?

I've seen a number of links to Lollipop and Marshmallow ROMs for the B1-730HD, but none from sites that I know/trust. Does anyone know if there's a genuine Lollipop or Marshmallow ROM available for the B1-730HD?

I've got the dreaded wifi-problem reported elsewhere on this thread (disconnecting from wifi and requiring me to re-enter the wifi password, and sometimes reboot to reconnect). Despite first reporting it to Acer within the warranty period, they advised me to factory reset and discouraged me from returning it by saying that I would be charged more than £50 if the problem proved to be software-related. The factory reset appeared to resolve the problem at first, but several months later I now suspect that it was a hardware issue all along, but want to try another ROM to see if it helps.

Acer are refusing to repair it under warranty, even though I originally raised it well within the warranty period.

    Today I had some time and I decided to create a small application for a screenshot. Always makes me annoyed press power and vol + and etc., to make a screenshot, because I made an application that make screensot when shaking up&down the device, and when I want a screenshot simple just shaking ;). Maybe someone will be needed so I decided to share it.*

    Application to work need android 4.0+, ROOT and BUSYBOX!!!
    Screenshot will be saved on /sdcard/Shakeshot .
    For all questions, download and others stuff please contact me and follow on www.android-tech.rocks thanks.

    3g dongles / umts modem / internet surfsticks.... Work!! USB OTG (directly!)

    after some failed attempts with ppp widget 2, involving different 3g dongles and a powered hub i finally got 3g working!

    i used PPP WIDGET 1 with the classic 3g dongle: an old Huawei E160, and a newer model : E173u
    (most newer Huawei should work too! ) no hub was needed!

    the Huawei modems have a built in emulated driver cd for Windows and that's why the need additional software to be switched from cd mode to modem mode, our tablet / Android however doesn't recognize the cd filesystem and says "damaged usb storage"... which is no problem, it's normal!

    the automatic recognition of the new ppp widget 2 failed, but the older widget 1 has a manual mode: select manually choose device!

    how to set up ppp widget 1 on B1-730hd :

    1. get ppp widget1 from playstore (free)
    2. put the widget on a startscreen (necessary before plugging the dongle!)
    3. plug the modem in... wait for the "damaged usb storage notification"
    4. the system asks which app to use as a standard.... select ppp widget1
    5. disconnect device
    6. go to configuration button (of widget)
    7. enter apn, username & password
    7b. depending on your sim & carrier : enter pin code if you use that and enter ip and port of needed (if it failes to connect with "connect script error" you need it) (i had also to enter ip adress : port to get it running)
    8. select manual device selection (tap on icon mode)
    9. close settings and plug in device
    10. tap on the icon (left ppp symbol on the widget) and chose your modem: Huawei xyz...
    11. see if the status led changes blinking color (from green to blue) = pin unlocked, network ready
    12. the connect button is not longer greyed out... click it.... and wait

    if the led stops blinking dark blue and turns light blue (permanently) you made it!
    if not : open configuration and see LOG, most likely your apn, name, pwd, ip etc are wrong....

    have fun with direct access to 3g on the tablet - no need to wifi or Bluetooth tether anymore if you own am old Huawei E160 (more modems should work, but i haven't tried) (no powered hub needed, but use one of you want to save battery...)
    working devices :

    Huawei E173u (7Mbit max., Dual antennas, balanced against interferences) i recommend this, good signal and fast...
    Huawei E160, (3,6Mbit, single antenna and sometimes bad signal) use it if you own one, but buy the E173u instead (signal boost, interference minimization, good signal)
    4
    calm down people, we don't need this to live or make money... but sometimes we need some help to help, Happy 2015 to everybody!
    Very thanks to @vampir74 & @social-design-concepts, happy new year to you guys!
