Could someone post the installable email and exchange files from 4.4.2? I'm not rooted and don't really want to mess with that. I just need exchange email to work correctly and it doesn't for me and quite a few Moto X users on 4.4. Thank you in advance for your help.

I think you need to be rooted.

The stock Android Exchange from Google is located in the /system partition, thus the only way to install the one from 4.4.2 would have to be via root. The good news is that there is some code suggesting it will be released in the Play Store, if this were to happen it would be great.
If things are not running too well temporarily you could try using Touchdown.
I am not new to root, but haven't found the need with this device (until now, I guess). Thanks for the help.

I did take the apk files from the latest nexus OTA and tried to install. The exchange file worked, but the email file wouldn't.

I was wondering if anybody had a link to a copy of dm updater? I have tried several but they need an update and it redirects me to the market and then says that it is not available. Thanks for all the help in advance.
(edit...sorry guys I placed this in the wrong forum)

DMupdater hasn't been released yet, and the droidmod team has pretty much made sure all of the links were taken down, but there are many other ways to root your phone.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
Gimme your gmail address n ill email the dmupdater.apk to you. Its an old one I have on my computer. It will ask you to update it when you install it then works great. Just used it on a buddy's phone a few days ago. Or just Google it and it might come up.

I was trying to connect my D4 with the leaked ICS ROM though adb
but after typing adb shell, it keep telling my device was offline
if i can connect the device, is it possible to push the busybox, su, etc to /system/xbin and enabling the root privilege?
Can't help you with actually rooting the build (sorry), but I have seen other threads that seem to indicate that if you reinstall your drivers the problem should resolve itself...
Where is the leaked rom?

all the info on the leaked d4 ics is @ DROID forums. in the d4 development section.

no luck anyone? i really want root back.....I love everything about this update i just want my root back please!!!!!
I can point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467598 I think if we knew the correct hex values to change in the .bat we might be able to get root.
It seems the problem i face now is i cannot push the files to the phone as permission denied.....or device offline....i actually could even push su to /data/local
which render other commands useless.....

pimpsalot69: He was referring to getting it installed, not getting root. Unfortunately, if you lost root during the upgrade process (like I did) there isn't currently a way to restore it. You'll have to wait for a new method to be released.

I thought the GSM patch is automatically enabled on the ICS ROM? All you have to do is put in your foreign SIM card and you should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to work - I put in the foreign SIM and can make and receive calls without an issue. But no 3G data available (and I have set all the data roaming, etc. on in settings). If I had root access, then I could try to flash that rom to see if it worked. I'm in South Africa on the Vodacom network (3G).
Hello,
I have a 2012 nexus seven, do android 4.3 will work on it using normal android system upgrade from settings? Because it says that there isn't any update available.
And can I root the device normally afterwards?
And my data will be saved?

Over the air updates often take time to roll out. Give it time and the update will come.
Of course, you can root and flash a custom ROM based on 4.3, but unless you already have an unlocked bootloader, you will lose your data.

You'll lose root, but so long as you made no changes to the preinstalled /system portion of the ROM, the OTA should run without killing any of your data.

This is why it pays to have an unlocked bootloader.
You would be running 4.3, rooted, and no loss of data if you did.

Yeah you are right. They updated their app to show it at the moment does not have 4.3 support. Rooting a Nexus device is easy enough, though, that I would not worry about it.

Finally got the update this evening! Had a notification to say it'd downloaded and was ready to install, but I was in the middle of fixing a Play Store issue which meant removing and reinstating my Google account...
Of course, this meant that the notification disappeared and I'm still stuck on 4.2.2 with the manual update via 'About tablet' not working.
If it's downloaded, can I assume that it's still somewhere on my device? If not, will I possibly have to wait days or weeks to receive the update again?!
I'm not rooted by the way.

there is no know root explot for 4.4.. u have to root on 4.2.2.
on that note, I have used jcase's RockMyMoto to root mine and I get threw everything having root access and try to install the 4.4 OTA update and it keeps rebooting.. won't stop (on 5th time now?) ideas?
I'll start this off by saying I've been away from android for about a year now, just got my nexus back up and running and updated to 5.0 manually with adb. For some reason it didn't update completely or something though, I still seem to have the jb launcher. I updated straight from a jb version of paranoid android that was like 4.1, didn't think that would be a problem since I did the manual update. What do I need to do? I feel like this is probably just an obvious thing that I'm missing because of the time passed since I've done any of this

You have to install Google Launcher from Play store.

I downloaded the factory image and set it up from the beggining. It has jb launcher default. You have to download from google play yourself. There is no issue about it.
Thanks OP, I was in same boat
On a side question, I did mine OTA, any benefit to have done it via factory image instead?
Just install Google now launcher. Factory images are for those who can't wait for ota. If you have the ota then it's no different from factory images.

I personally think flashing the factory image is a little more stable (just my opinion, though). Plus it is way less of a hassle if you're using any rom mods, custom recovery, etc. since the OTA won't flash if you do any of these. Also, with an OTA you have to either wait for the notification or get the right zip to flash over the version you're currently running....for example, if you have 4.3 and you want to update to 5.0 via OTA zip you can't use the 4.4->5.0 one...you have to find the 4.3->5.0 one. Factory images 'just work'....way less headaches
Thanks. Doing flash via code method listed on thread here.
