How to upgrade to 4.4.4? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I'm running stock Ron with TWRP and Gravity Box.
I got the OTA to update to 4.4.4 and I'm keen on doing so since version 4.4.3 screwed my GPS.
What would be the best way to go about upgrading?

There are a few flashable stock ROM .zips in Android Development section.

[Q] stock 4.2 unrooted rom with photosphere?

I have been on the 4.1.2 stock rom for a while, and want to get a rom that is as stock as possible for 4.2, but the search have failed.
My requirements:
1. 4.2
2. comes with photosphere
3. unrooted
Is there such ROM?
There will never be a stock 4.2 on Nexus S, Google said 4.1 will be the last official update for it.
Well, not the official. But something that's closest to the galaxy nexus or nexus 4 ROM.
cyanogen 10.1 once its a stable release...

Btw, root only brings advantages, so why would you like a ROM without root?

My suggestion : Flash Jellyshot ROM it's like stock and search for flashable photoshphere there are some flying around. and Root is good for the device. So let it be..

[Q] Returning from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2

Hello,
I have searched the Razr HD threads with no avail. I have been running CM 10.1, 4.2.2 and would like to return to a 4.1.2 ROM(Nexesque deodexed/zipaligned 9.16.6 (4.1.2) base). 4.2.2 is still a bit buggy for my taste, specifically the camera issues. As I understand, I need to return to the stock kernel prior to flashing a 4.1... ROM via a boot.img file?
Does anyone have the link to the stock Kernel to flash? Also, can I flash this in CWM Recovery? If not, a link to instructions would be great.
This is relatively new to me as ROMs generally have the Kernels built in and flash automatically when installing in Recovery. At least thats how it was with my old HTC INC.
Thanks for your help and assistance.

I restored to my stock back up, re-wiped, and re-flashed. All is well.

Thank you so much brother . appreciate it much
Oh. Ok. I was going to ask why you wanted a zip instead of fastboot flash able images to narrow down your requirements but now I don't need to bothera

[Q] kernel version

Hi all, noob here
thinking of installing a KitKat ROM on my GT-I9105P but I'm having 4.1.2 JB stock ROM, already rooted. Do I need to flash a 4.2.2. kernel first? If yes, which one?
Thanx in advance,
m

You can't flash any of our kitkat roms.They won't boot on 4.1.2 bootloader,before flashing kitkat roms just flash 4.2.2 firmware(via Odin).Now you can flash CM11 or any other kitkat rom.Good Luck!

any 4.2.2 ROM for your device, it doesn't really matter since you're gonna flash CM 'over' it anyway
you can find ROMs on sammobile.com

Custom Rom on locked bootloader

Was wondering if superliterom is the only rom I can flash on the latest ne1 bootloader? Or can I run any custom 4.4 build?

That is the only rom that can be flashed with SafeStrap once you are on VRUDNE1 OTA. You can only flash VRUDNE1 based roms and only one exists today.

Superlite ROM is the only one. Do not attempt to flash any AOSP based 4.4.2 ROMs. Bad things will happen.
Edit - Ninja'd.....SNOOP!!!!!!!
That's what I figured from what I was reading. Thank you.
