Sure, just flash the factory image in fastboot with the `flash-all`command in cmd. This will wipe the device so backup first

Play Store and OS is not really related, but please correct me if I am wrong.
You still can update to 5.0 manually via e.g. factory image. Nevertheless this will wipe your device (if you do not adjust the script) which is actually adviced with every major Android version (e.g. 4.4.4 to 5.0). There are guides in general that you can follow.

Hi guys,
what you think about possibility of an OTA for CM11S, to upgrade Android version to 4.4.4 ?
Do you think it will be?
Regards.

Being honest I'm surprised it wasn't launched on 4.4.4 so I'd imagine we'll get there eventually

Yes, that's it....i'm surprised too!!
That's why i'm asking you guys!!
Android 4.4.4 exists for a long time, and i don't understand why CM11S don´t have it, even CM11 for OnePlus works in Android 4.4.4, but CM11S(dedicated ROM) not.
Thank you, for your reply!
We all are waiting for next CM11S OTA Update....
They announced another update for this week or next

Great News....thanks!!!
Any idea about change log, or what are the improvements?

hope RAW capture for camera
I haven't receive it yet, clarify me, because the 11s it's on 4.4.2 right ?
Anyone play with nightlies 4.4.4 ?? They works well ? no major bugs at all ? what functions you lost from 11s ?
sorry for the too many questions

Still not OTA update for Android 4.4.4....that's what we are talking about...
But it seems it is on it's way to get it.
About normal CM 11 nightlys, yes, already rolls with Android 4.4.4, but for sure you lose some features dedicated to OnePlus One, developed in CM11S, like Camera features.
So, i think it's better to wait for new CM11S OTA.

Lets be honest your asking in xda has anyone play with nightlies... come on now 95% of the people in here are running a custom rom. Waiting for a company to update your phone when there are capable developers here making your phone better to me is a waste of time. Root and upgrade your phone at your leisure and enjoy. Here is the changelog from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4
whatever is lost from 11S can be obtained just by searching this forum and nightlies of course will have more upldated options

Camera, lockscreen and kernel from CM11S can all be implemented back into nightlies
as far as version 4.4.4 of android is an openssl fix which is already present in cm11s. its nothing but a number at this point. but there will be an ota update soon. my guess is by wednesday if they keep doing updates on a monthly schedule.

I thought I read somewhere that CM11s camera will work on CM11 ROMs by just installing the .apk

Yes it can and I stated that on the page earlier. Also its only an apk not a big deal to try and see if it works. I use it on every rom that I have flashed in here including CM11
More than anything, they need to merge the latest CM M9 improvements into this next OTA. I don't even know if the current software is based on M8 or not.

No and this information is out there may I suggest some research. Please research before rooting as well so you know what you are getting into and know all your risks.
Plus any OTA will have a zip in the forum anyways. Plus they are on 4.4.2 we are all on 4.4.4 with Android L rom in the works. Be ahead of the curve root your phone and flash new CM

Google+ and hangouts

Hey guys i have bought n8013 last week and google+ and talk was installed on it but when i updated them via playstore, they do not work anymore because when i open them they tell me to update my system even though when i check for updates it shows i have the latest version.
Please help guys its been a week im trying to solve this problem.
Thank you
You'll either have to put a custom rom or roll back versions. Check out gapps early on g+ (use web browser) for previous versions. The n8013 will not get official kitkat (not confirmed but Samsung has proven it by ignoring us for months)

You're running Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916? This is the latest version in the play store. I am running N8013 stock rooted and I got this after I updated to the latest google plus:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnWolf_PDX/posts/dAsRmkuPT2c?cfem=1
Do you have a link to the Android Central leaked Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916 apk that works on 4.1.2? I looked and couldn't find one that worked.
Also, the latest version of hangouts(not sure of the version, I don't have my tablet with me at the moment) just crashes constantly when I open it up.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset...

I Think I Installed this then installed the latest google plus from play store. This Is the Hangout Dialer app. But if not mistaken its been updated since release.. Sorry im Vague .
I have a similar problem on the N8010 (Belgium).
Hangouts crashes and Google+ asks for an update. Even worse, some Samsung apps (video editor, store) have been pushed last week from samsung themselves having the same problem.
The root cause is that these are applications pushed for android 4.4 (a galaxy s2 gets the same new apps, but compiled/modified for Android 4.1).
In my case, the 4.4 update for the note is pushed to all countries around me (Netherlands, Germany, France, UK,...) but not Belgium yet. Somehow there is a mismatch between the region the play store (and samsung store) thinks should be on kitkat compared to the real rollout.

[Q] Android L update to Final Build (Nexus 5)

So I recently upgraded from my Nexus 5 from 4.4.4 KitKat to the Android L developer preview that was released in October. Now that the official final build is coming to Nexus devices, will I have to MANUALLY update to the final build, or will I get an OTA update (Considering I am using the PREVIEW right now) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes you will need to flash the new update to your phone. OTAs aren't supported in the developer previews

Flashing 5.0 Lollipop

So I flashed the brazillian lollipop OTA on my Indian XT033 and can someone explain to me step by step how I'll be able to flash the Indian Lollipop update when it releases publicly without losing my data?

Why you flashed Brazilian version. It could brick your phone. Motorola is gonna release official android L here in less than a week, i guess.
Anyway, download indian version of stock 4.4.4 and flash it with stock recovery. Relock the bootloader. Latest motorola adb and fastboot drivers should be there before starting this whole process.
Motorola has updated its OTA updater app a couple of days ago. So go to play store and update it to make your phone ready for android lollipop

And in this way you could end up messing your phone.
Once youre on lollipop there's no way as of now to downgrade to KK.
But once the india lollipop update is out someone will figure out a way to install that.Until then enjoy your phone o Brazilian 5.0.
And also I dont find some good reason to install Indian update ovr brazilian one coz there will be no major change.
I guess both are "Asia retail" firmwares?

Been using it since a few hours after it was released. I think you'll be fine.
Yeah, it is better than lollipop. It's like lollipop was the beta for marshmallow. Windows 8.1 to Windows 10...etc.
