Install Official Android 4.4 KitKat Update On Nexus 4; Firmware With Build Number KRT16S Starts TO Roll Out

It seems that the official Android 4.4 KitKat update is now available for some of the Google Nexus 4 users.

Reportedly, several users of Nexus 4 are reporting that the official Android 4.4 KitKat has finally reached their devices, thanks to Over-The-Air or OTA notification. As posted on Android Authority, the official Android 4.4 Kitkat update on Nexus 4 arrives just hours after the Verizon Moto X received its official KitKat update.

Furthermore, the official Android 4.4 KitKat update arrived after the internet giant released a bug-fix update to some of its other Nexus devices.

According to the user's Twitter and forum posts, the official Android 4.4 KitKat update weighs 238 MB, and it bears the build number KRT16S.

Before installing the official Android 4.4 KitKat update, the Nexus 4 unit should have at least 20 percent battery level first. Also, a reliable Wi-fi connection is preferred for those wishing to install the official Android 4.4 KitKat update on their Nexus 4 smartphone.

However, it should be noted that the official Android 4.4 KitKat update may not arrive on your region as soon as you expect it. Remember, the official firmware is released in stages, thus, it may take time before the official Android 4.4 KitKat reach your country.

But you can expect that that download link for the KitKat firmware will emerge online soon, alongside the step-by-step guide on how to install Android 4.4 KitKat via manual process. Those who cannot wait for the OTA notification can instead follow the manual installation process to update their Nexus 4 with Android 4.4 KitKat update.

According to IB Times, the KRT16S firmware, aside from Nexus 4 is also compatible with other Nexus devices including the Nexus 7 Wifi, Nexus 7 Mobile, Nexus 10, Nexus 7 2013 Wifi and Nexus 7 2013 Mobile.
