Just days after Android 4.4.1 was spotted doing the rounds in Google’s home town of Santa Clara, a build of Android 4.4.1 for Nexus 5 has been released into the wild, bringing the version from the original KRT16M build to version KOT49E.

If you own the Nexus 5 and you’re interested in getting Android 4.4.1 before the update hits your phone au naturel via the airwaves, you can download it via the Google+ post from CyanogenModder, Keyan Mobli, below:

Prerequisites

To get this update installed correctly you need to have the Android SDK installed and working on your computer with ADB (via a microUSB cable). This is what allows you to issue commands to your device in order to push the OTA file. Those with custom recoveries have it a bit easier, though. You also have to be running the stock Nexus 5 ROM, version KRT16M.

If you have made any system file modifications, make sure you roll them back.

Install

Before you get started: This update method should not erase anything on your device, but OTA survival in SuperSU could break things. Turn it off if you’re running that.

You’ll use the adb sideload command after making sure your device is properly detected by ADB. You can check out our full sideload guide here – the process is identical except for the file name. If you have a custom recovery, it can be flashed from there. Just copy the file.

Rooting

The update will likely kill root on previously rooted devices, but it’s easy to get back:

1. Flash TWRP from here (fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img).


2. Reboot into recovery (adb reboot recovery or hold Power+VolDn, then select Recovery).


3. Flash the latest version of SuperSU.


4. You should be rooted.

Enjoy. If you do load this build of Android 4.4.1 for Nexus 5, let us know if you spot anything new and how you find it.

A few weeks ago, a Samsung document was leaked that appeared to reveal Samsung‘s planned schedule for updating its flagships from this year and last year to the newest build of Android, Android 4.4 KitKat. The update quoted in that document was of build “KRT16?, which we know to be a undisclosed version of KitKat. A similar Samsung document has been leaked out today which suggests that Samsung is considering an update of a plethora of Samsung’s mid-range devices with that same build of KitKat, a list which includes the likes of the Galaxy S4 Mini and even the Galaxy Core.

Unlike the previous leak, the document snapshot doesn’t show whether there is an estimated time-frame for this to happen, though from the title of the document, “under investigation” suggests this is all up in the air for now. I’d be surprised if the newer and more powerful devices in this list did not to get the update, like the Galaxy S4 Mini, but you never know. The main thing is that Samsung considered it at all, right?

Any owners of these phones hoping that Samsung follows through and updates your phone with Android 4.4? Let us know what you think in the comments.
