It's been a painful two days trying to update to 4.4, but I feel I'm almost there. Like others I encountered the boot loop, and have been following the suggestions offered in those threads with varying degrees of success,both with Debian Linux and Microsoft XP. The phone was unlocked and rooted.
The md5sum agrees on the .tgz download, and the 20131031 Android SDK is being used on both OS, with the CWM usb drivers on the XP, which crashes whenever fastboot starts to transfer data other than "fastboot devices" which succeeds.
So I've managed to work my way through the flash-all.sh on Debian line-by-line with eventual success at each step, and am at the very last line which seems to hang, so far for a full 3 hours! Does that seem right for only 700 MB? What can be the problem?
