A couple days ago, Google began the rollout
of the over-the-air (OTA) update of Android 4.4 KitKat to the Wi-Fi
only versions of the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10. Yesterday, we got the manual update
packages for those same devices. But, Google said that the updates for
the Nexus 4 and the mobile data enabled Nexus 7s would be "coming soon".
Well,
there's still no OTA update for the Nexus 4 or the mobile data enabled
Nexus 7s, but Google has released the factory images of Android 4.4 for
those devices. This means you can get the newest version of Android on
one of those devices if you want, but you would have to be willing to
wipe your data and start from scratch.
There
are factory images for the Nexus 4, 2012 Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi and 3G), and
2013 Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi and LTE). There's no factory image for the Nexus 10
yet, but since the OTA is rolling out for that tablet, it shouldn't make
much difference. Flashing your device back to stock is a bit more
involved and has more potential for error than just running a manual
update, so if you're really interested in flashing one of these factory
images, you'll be able to find the instructions from multiple sources
around the web.
