If Your phone was rooted or modded in any other way You need to reflash it to stock cause this update needs to be installed on non modded stock.
[RAZR i General] quicon:
Thanks, I rooted once, but then installed the OTA 4.1.2 which unrooted it (although the superuser app is still there).

How can I reflash to stock?
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Take stock rom from my post (few post before) or search for Your brand and flash it with RSD. I don't know exactly what but something is wrong with this OTA cause it always fail on non fully stock rom.
[RAZR i General] khaledm_92:
If anyone is having problems with the update I suggest restoring the factory settings. When I first updated the phone was stuttering all the time and I had a delay when pressing the home button. Restoring the phone made all the problems go away and, in case you didn't know, the phone will automatically install all your apps again.
[RAZR i General] St4mi:
No, everything went fine. No hanging at the Motorola Logo and it is running fine without wipe. My system was stock untouched.

The missing data indicators and the transparency in the navigation buttons and status bar is really annoying. Thats why i switched to Nova Launcher. But it only cured the 2nd flaw...
[RAZR i General] samuclock:
hi, can i flash 4.4.2 directly with RSD, without flash Jellybean first?

thx
[RAZR i General] chuckiebronco:
If you find a suitable 4.4.2 sbf file, let us know... ;)

[RAZR i General] quicon:
I flashed stock 4.1.2 again, but the superuser app is still there and the update fails again.

Any ideas?
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
If You flashed Your phone with RSD SU couldn't be.
[RAZR i General] AGISCI:
Actually it can be, if the super su app is not installed in /system it would survive rsd. When i restored with rsd it didn't wipe /data so the super su app was still installed.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
So You must have something wrong with .xml file with flashing operations cause last 2 are

<step operation="erase" partition="cache" />
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />

and it must delete all user data.
[RAZR i General] AGISCI:
My xml file doesn't have that. But my firmware file is for the claro chile model, not the EU.
[RAZR i General] Jamielawther:
If you think Google have no say whatsoever in the development and software of Motorola products you must be on another planet, The Moto X and G definitely have Google influence. Sorry to be brutal but it is true.
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Yep, the G seems like almost total bloatware free so its a huge influence of google.
[RAZR i General] bongofred:
Tempted to switch to the Moto G, but the non existing SD card slot and the weaker camera are the deal breaker for me...

btw Jolla is releasing it's new phone very soon, anyone else a bit exited to see the new MeeGo in a lively form again? :) (I kinda miss using my N9)
[RAZR i General] clickstop:
I'm excited to see where Jolla goes with the os, but that price tag is keeping me from buying, as well as lack of play store support.
[RAZR i General] purplet:
How can u think about buying the new Motorola phone if you could buy the nexus 5 or even a now cheap second hand nexus4?it's awesome phones with the best modding support?
[RAZR i General] YaPeL:
nexus 5 isn't available everywhere, and in some countries of LATAM (where a lot of folks around here come from) the taxes make it to expensive to buy, and well, the best next thing for poorfags like us, is this moto g.
[RAZR i General] huatz84:
Moto G will be released in US with KitKat. Seeing what Moto did with Moto X and latest Droid series,it seems all latest Moto phones will have a special attention. Moto G even promised to get the latest updates. Maybe acts as the hidden Nexus just like Xoom in the past.
[RAZR i General] Burn02:
In fact you re right for the G and the X. But not for the I. The i was made before the influence of google. it's a complet motorola project. And has got motorola sofware and launcher.

So saying motorola is now a google part, does not grant upgrade. In fact nobody could know it at this time. And if Moto X and G got great support, it does not show something for "old" phone that was motorola project with no influence of google because made before. (like razr I, razr M, Razr HD etc...)
[RAZR i General] antkalaitzakis96:
I checked sdk manager and intel hasn't released the x86 atom system image for 4.4 so it's not up to motorola yet, I think.
[RAZR i General] leonelsr:
Yeah but you are forgetting one piece: Intel.

Motorola didn't have the influence from Google, but that influence did came from Intel.

It was a Intel+Motorola effort and, as far as I can remember, we were impressed by the time of its launch with its low level of customization over AOSP. Our hope is in Intel. If they want, they will make Motorola develop a 4.4 for this device. If not, it's coming for another x86 device. You can bet.
[RAZR i General] clickstop:
I honestly don't think it'll happen. Didn't Intel start supporting arm a few weeks back? At least that's what I had read, I could be wrong.
[RAZR i General] anerik:
Intel's not really the problem, motorola is
[RAZR i General] YaPeL:
DROID RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD, and RAZR M just confirmed to recieve kitkat, so I'll say 99% sure we are going to get it too :)

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/11/1...updates-for-droid-razr-hd-maxx-hd-and-razr-m/
[RAZR i General] purplet:
More of the opposite if they announce others but not ours it's a very bad sign
[RAZR i General] YaPeL:
so much positive energy in this thread.
[RAZR i General] bongofred:
not necessarily, the UK update page wasn't updated yet, RAZR HD and RAZR i are still with the same status "future plans coming soon"
[RAZR i General] purplet:
The only thing annoying me is to wait for the announcement of an surely already made decision. There won't be big improvement, launcher, keyboard it's all there and I can live with blue status text.
[RAZR i General] antkalaitzakis96:
http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/1...s-android-4-4-updates-for-6-more-smartphones/

6 more motorola devices will receive android 4.4..nothing for razr I yet..
[RAZR i General] adddaamo:
I just lost all hope :(
[RAZR i General] Burn02:
You forget ART, and the rom is faster then before because it use less memory...

Android 4.4 is not a big revolution, but a big work on memory and performance... So it's more usefull then android 4.2/4.3.

ART Is the Big point that could make a big difference, but is only in a beta stage so it's not sure that all would work with it.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
And that's why it didn't wipe Your data. I used only retail EU and GB firmwares and assumed that all sbf's for this Moto are wiping user data.

Sent from Samsung GT-i9195BE
[RAZR i General] tex61:
updated yesterday with Vodafone EU (sfr), right first time, seams good ;)
[RAZR i General] rowanx1:
Hi,

I still reluctant to update to 4.4.2, can you write what benefit and which negative update brings? And most importantly I have a question whether this version works Kitkatu write to the SD card, or there is also a limitation?

Thanx

R.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
You have quite few benefits: 18k in AnTuTu, full compatibility with before non compatible apps, better GravityBox and many others. To have full access to SDCard You just need to install one module to xposed.
[RAZR i General] FarGuddu:
Just flashed from GB to EU. Now downloading Kit Kat (4.4.2). Hoping for the best!
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
With root you can do anything incl. full access to all files.

Just try KK, if you don't like it, flash the JB system partition back with RSD and you are all set.
[RAZR i General] FarGuddu:
Great upgrade is this KitKat. The phone has become so alive, much smoother and snappier than before. The difference is huge.

Those who haven't upgraded yet must do it asap. Worth the wait. :D

EDIT: I am experiencing two problems with the new KitKat upgrade:

1. When my Wi-fi connects/ or reconnects automatically (after an auto or manual disconnection), it still displays a notification to connect even though it already is connected. There is a question mark appearing on the notification bar and touching it opens a webpage which is blocked in my country.

2. The battery is taking a long time to charge. I don't have the exact numbers right now, but it's taking longer in KitKat. I am still investigating this one.

Any thoughts?
[RAZR i General] St4mi:
Check while charging in the battery settings if it is recognized as an USB charger or a normal one...
[RAZR i General] rowanx1:
Hi, I today updated on Kitkat, all is OK, but I need remove restriction on SD card, can you help me with root Razr wit Kitkat?

R.
[RAZR i General] niksy+:
Just a quick question guys - if I were to update the XT890s we've got in the house to KitKat, should I unlock the bootloaders before updating in order to be able to root them afterwards? Or can bootloader be unlocked on KitKat, as well? Thank you :)
[RAZR i General] taz3d:
Getting a failure when rsdlite is trying to flash system.img. Any sollution for this problem?
[RAZR i General] FourOne82:
Probably same problem.
[RAZR i General] AGISCI:
Maybe you could tell us what the error says... I am having trouble reading your mind.
[RAZR i General] taz3d:
Want to upgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat but i'm using a custom rom right now.

So i'm trying to restore my razri back to stock with CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU stock image using rsd lite 5.7.

Rsdlite starts flashing boot_signed, motoboot and motobp but when this tool starts flashing the system.img file is says failed and it stops flashing.

So in other words I can't get my razri back to stock.
[RAZR i General] rickozx:
Too old version of rsd lite.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Exactly, someone few posts before had same problem. Use RSD 6.1.x.
[RAZR i General] taz3d:
Oké thanks
[RAZR i General] quicon:
I am also trying to restore my Razri back to stock with "Blur_Version.81.5.39002.XT890.O2.en.DE" using RSD 6.1.6 but when decompressing the zip I get an error: "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing". I have tried to run RSD in compatibility mode but I get the same error.
[RAZR i General] AGISCI:
Try redownloading the image. Maybe it's corrupt?
[RAZR i General] Lmrt:
noob here. I have a razr i rooted. Clean rom. With custom recovery, i just got the ota update but after download and tap on install, the phone reboot and show and error when intalling the update (i think is a conflict w the recovery)

My question is... what should i do? Reinstall JB via rsdlite would delete custom recovery? Or must i update recovery first...

Thx in advance
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Yes, just reinstall JB with RSD and then download OTA.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

Note that flash files has very long names and if You have folder structure like C:\Users\Desktop\Motorola\Razr i\KitKat|\xxxx890xxxx\blablabla\ it would be problem cause WinRar doesn't like tooo long paths.

Try: copy zip with firmware to C:\moto extract it there and in RSD choose xml file except whole zip.

If it doesn't help try to install retail firmware EU or GB.
[RAZR i General] Lmrt:
Done, Thank you, now i have my Razr i w/ kitkat, custom recovery and rooted, running fine for now but i just notice a "big" problem (for me) the audio is slower than in JB there is any way to mod/patch/edit or add an option to increase the volume?

2. if i want to go back to JB, i must just flash a JB rom w/ rsdlite? (i used JB retail brasil)
[RAZR i General] FarGuddu:
Two questions:

1. Can I flash my 4.4.2 EU Retail back to Stock 4.1.2 GB Retail? Is that possible through RSDLite? I have read somewhere that you can't downgrade, as it bricks your phone.

2. Can someone provide me with the stock JB 4.1.2 GB Retail version download link? There are so many threads with blah blah and I don't want to mess it up.

Many thanks!

EDIT: I am unable to flash stock JB. It failed straight away. At first, I thought I had bricked my device, but thankfully, I got it to restart by pressing all the keys together for 10 secs.

My bootloader is locked. How do I downgrade to JB?
[RAZR i General] ilsi:
Hi,

my razr i is running EU-beta:

Build KIA20.69

System Version: 990.43.69.XT890.Retail.en.EU

Is OTA update possible for such system or I must reflash it to stock 4.1.2 before update comes?

Regards,

Illya
[RAZR i General] xtr3m3:
Read Section G.
[RAZR i General] Lmrt:
Sorry if im wrong but to go back to jb i just need to do this?

I just want to be sure before trying to do anything, My bootloader is unlocked...
[RAZR i General] xtr3m3:
It will work, now that your bootloader is unlocked. :good:
[RAZR i General] Lmrt:
Ill give a try... Dont like the low volume on kk (i use the phone mainly to listen music) and my favourite game is not running after update so... Wish me luck [emoji40]
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
KIA20.69 is a beta firmware. Unless u are/were a Beta tester u won't get any update. Reflash to stock 4.1.2 and download and install the update from there.

I will update it for KK soon. Need ro redo the whole thing tho.

The only thing that gets installed and afaik may not be downgraded is the gpt.bin. Or in this case gpt_signed from the 4.1.2 rsd-package. Buit to be on the safe side, use the ones provided like for JB to ICS, till i update it and have a real update.zip on my hands.
[RAZR i General] ilsi:
thanks :)

Then I would not wait for OTA and install update manually.
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
I finally found the old phone. It's running stock unrooted 4.1.2 91.2.2600.XT890.Orange.en.GB

Will this ever have an OTA or do I have to flash it?
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
On the official forums they say that they are waiting for carrier approval to update all "en.GB" roms. en.EU and others should have got the update by now. But it is still in steps. For en.GB u will need to wait a little longer, out of Motorola's hands.
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
Good news, thanks!
[RAZR i General] Lmrt:
Hello! first, thank you so much for ur help, i was scared to made a downgrade to JB but i HAD to do it due a "soft brick" (idk if that is the right name)

when i was on kk ill tried to do a wipe/davilk but twrp was stuck for like 20 mins, then i reboot device and boom!, stuck on intel logo...

i just try to install JB rom deleting all lines on the xml file as in the JB to ICS option and it worked, now i have JB again w/o any problems :)

tbh KK is better in performance, but that low volume and some apps not working was my decision to go back to JB...

btw sorry for my bad english, and thx again.

GB Update

Just seen this on Razr i forum :

Update 4/8/2015: Select users with Retail GB (91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.en.GB) can download and upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 (990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.GB).

Mark

Forums Manager

Checked my phone and it's there! At last.
[RAZR i General] Tell Me Where is Gandlaf:
WOW Finally! I went to check for software updates and lo and behold it's there, downloading it now.

I was on 91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.en.GB and last night I entered a survey (now expired) on the Moto forum to be in the first batch of UK updates.
[RAZR i General] Tell Me Where is Gandlaf:
The updated was installing and the phone restarted itself to the red Motorola logo, but now it's going in an endless loop of restarts and M red logo..... :(
[RAZR i General] xtr3m3:
Try doing a factory reset from recovery.
[RAZR i General] Tell Me Where is Gandlaf:
By holding the down volume button as the phone was starting up I managed to get the AP Fastboot Mode menu and chose Recovery, I was then shown the sick Android logo with the red exclamation mark, This lasted for a bit but now it seems to be in the restart loop again. I'll keep trying things...

Update:

Got to the recovery menu by holding down both volume buttons for a while while the sick android logo was up, wiped the data + cache from there and the phone is now starting up, pheww..
[RAZR i General] xtr3m3:
Yup, I forgot to mention that you have to press both volume buttons.

I seem to be getting this error when booting stock recovery:

E:invalid ulogo OSIP entry!
E:ulogo validation failed - show correct ulogo

Anyone else? It doesn't seem to be causing any probs, but it is kinda annoying..
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Yes, on en.UE the same error appears even on beta. Just ignore it.
[RAZR i General] pushist1y:
Can someone please check if any call recording app works on new version?
[RAZR i General] gwapenut:
My phone is rooted but using a debloated stock rom, where i removed selected apps myself.

The update fails.

Do i just need to unroot or do i need to restore stock from a rom?
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Yes, u need to be on complete stock.
[RAZR i General] yostyle:
So I'm on stock and rooted. To install the update have I only need to unroot via the supersu app? Is there a way to keep the root through the update? (I did it with the tool "twerk my moto")

Thanks to all of you guys...
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
No, You must reflash to stock via RSD, no other way yet to install OTA on modified rom (even just root and unroot is detected and OTA fails). You can root easy way, just install TWRP on 4.4.2 using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and flash SuperSU package using TWRP.
[RAZR i General] gwapenut:
Thanks guys, sorry to ask the question as I know it's been discussed before but a quick trawl last night didn't find me the conclusions, and it's too important not to do the right thing!

Much appreciated.
[RAZR i General] yostyle:
I was so excited i started the update before reading the answer... it seems stuck on the "robot with rolling polygon inside"... what to do? if i reset the phone it will still on jellybean? or something corrupted?

EDIT:

i left the phone working (the progress bar kept growing also out of the screen) and after about 30min i have finally kitkat!

For who, like me, was on stock with root given by twerk my moto, here are the easy steps to follow:

1) restore all the edits done thanks to root (for example i changed the booatnimation.zip, so i replaced the original one)

2) unroot through the supersu app

3) reboot

4) enter in recovery and wipe all, then reboot

5) download the update and install it. don't panic, i left for more than half a hour.

6) redo step 4
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Corrupted I think. Reflash to JB to be safe and then download and install OTA.
[RAZR i General] FarGuddu:
Can someone please post a complete guide on how to downgrade from KitKat to Jelly Bean?

I will be extremely grateful!
[RAZR i General] gwapenut:
Sorry guys I'm having great trouble finding a vanilla stock jellybean rom to flash to. I think some of the earlier ones I've dug out from the forum are ICS which could lock me up, and there don't seem to be jellybean ones.

I know there's a megathread of roms but I'm not sure if they're stock?

Haven't flashed anything on this particular phone before, just rooted and decluttered, so not sure where the best place to find these things is
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Which JB one do you need?
[RAZR i General] gwapenut:
Hi, I successfully flashed the JB GB rom from the superthread - they really are all stock roms, untainted. It removed root and allowed my OTA upgrade to KK.

I've also now unlocked the bootloader.

The final thing I need to do is root it under kitkat, but the two main threads I've seen seem to be for ICS and JB.

Any pointers on where I go to root it under KK?

Thanks for all your help, I'm nearly there!
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Install TWRP and flash SuperSU package.
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Guys, I have a Omars Rom and GB phone. Can please somebody provide me a short manual, how to update to 4.4. I have root.

Would appreciate it very much. :):):):)

P.s. Is it also possible to transfen apps and adjustments to 4.4?
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Guys, have a found a sollution myself, thanks to Chamelleon. You are number 1 ))) If somebody else has similar question refer to page 116 )))
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Got another problem can not get Root. On 4.4 standart fastboot recovery does not work properly it shows only the menu if I choose something it says "E invalid bootlogo" and shows dead android icon. Everything other is just great please help me .
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Seems like the stock recovery is installed. To get to the menu of the recovery u will need to press both volume buttons at ones (at the moment u get that android logo with a ! mark) to get in the recovery menu. But u can't flash a custom zip file from stock recovery afaik.

Also the invlaid bootlogo is just a warning. Don't mind it.
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Hazou, thanks a lot I managed to get to other boot menu. But there I tried to install CMW and TWRP and always get after shor time installation aborted. So no chance for me to get root ((((
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Guys tried everything possible on all the forums. Can not get TWRP or CWM get installed. Think standart recovery is somehow broken.

Maybe somebody can upload an image of clean EU 4.4.2 with ROOT to be able to install it via RDS lite? Because otherwise I can not get installed.
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
What steps are u taking to install cwm or twrp?

Do you have unlocked your bootloader?
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
1. Bootloader is unlocked (I get notifications about it every time I restart my phone)

2. Tried to isntall zip of TWRP amd CWM via fastboot menu it fails is not working, then i pressed volume up and down and got to the other boot menu. There it starts to install zip files but after verification it says aborted and again I see dead android.

3. I tried to use [RECOVERY] v2.2 INSTALLER for CWM / CWMTouch / TWRP / STOCK Recovery / Root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281224. Tried all the options. It does see the phone, does some actions like starts installation gets to the fastboot, but no result. Have tried everything.

In fastboot I get

E:invalid ulogo OSIP entry!

E:ulogo validation failed - show correct ulogo

+ ERROR "dismatched partition entry array cr32" !!!

Had OMARS ROM working fine + working CWM and TWRP-> Stock android 4.1.2 no TWRP but works fine->OTA 4.4.2 NO TWRP but works fine
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
The recoverys are within the compressed zip file. U cant flash thema through fastboot. Extract it and u will het a "recovery.img" file. Flash that with the commandant "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Then navigatie with volume down tot recovery and select it with volume up ;)
[RAZR i General] jonmorris:
Deleted.
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
Still no OTA on my .GB stock unrooted. I'm in the US. Any way to force the OTA?. I'm too old and lazy to flash stuff anymore.
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Yep, flash the EU 4.1.2 and then you'll receive the OTA
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
Sigh. Does anyone have a link for a step by step written newbie style to flash .GB to .EU? Windows 7 preferred though I can run any OS necessary. I'm not a newbie but I haven't flashed anything in two years.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Just look at my posts few pages before. Don't be so lazy. :)
[RAZR i General] niksy+:
Guys, I've got a RAZR i updated to EU KitKat a few days ago - system version 990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.EU - build number KIA20.74

The problem is it keeps notifying me that "there is a bug report ready" or something like that. Happens a dozen of times per day. I searched this thread and someone said that should only happen on the beta testing version, but mine does not show the Bug Report app. Should I root and search for it in /system?
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Yes thats right, report bug and battery info apps was only in beta version. Try to wipe data/factory reset first.
[RAZR i General] niksy+:
But that beta version was never on this phone :eek: I'll see about a factory reset or where those bug reporting apps are.

*EDIT* As a follow-up... I found both the BugReport and BatteryMonitor apks in /system/apps... Deleted them and together with their belonging files, should be all right now. Still don't understand why they were there in the first place.
