Is it possible for you to upload the file from your phone and then share the link. I'm sure someone here knows how to access the link

Can you read the file on your phone with a file explorer? If so, post the file name.

If we get the file name, we'll know the full url

It's so ****ing lame that we have to do this when GPE devices and some Moto's are already massively getting the OTA.

Try copying the file to lool.jpg or something, windows may get it. (Windows is kinda retarded on 4.4, sometimes it ignores some kind of files with some extension and some times not)

This method still applies, but there are other methods posted on xda that are available now

Thanks mate.

I don't mind waiting for the official OTA update. So what would be the advisable method to update?

Thank you euqiddis for posting the filename. If anyone is having trouble getting adb to work to sideload this OTA update don't forget to switch from "Media device (MTP)" connection to "Camera (PTP)" for it to work... Stupid thing otherwise I would have been on 4.4.3 already :).

4.4.3 now. Woop woop!

Wish I knew about the mtp trick. When I got into recovery drivers failed. Had to manually select the adb ones then it worked. Same thing for nexus 7.
