Kitkat here throw cyanogne CM11 Rom

Hello guys,

for the one willing kitkat and ready to root their phone, the solution is definitevely here !

I installed Cyanogen ROM available in dev section of this forum.

Definitively super good! and much, much better regarding memory management. I have almost always around 400kB free space in Ram instead of 100kB before.

Definitively go for it!

So far, only issues I see are:

-Apollo music player crashes

-when phone is in Idle, camera button does not wake it up

Possible improvements:

-possibility to adjust notification led color by application

-possibility to have silent mode for the camera

Really, I am more than satisfy by this ROM

[RAZR i General] pashtun:
I think I will try this out. Are there any guides on how to install it? I am still on the stock ROM and my razr i is still unlocked / unrooted.
[RAZR i General] goldenelephant:
Kitkat

Hello Pashtun.

for you the steps will be like this:

1. Unlock the phone (for that, you need contact motorola and download android tools, check: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32576654#post32576654)

2. Install a new bootloader like CWM or TWP (taking care to chose a bootloader version compliant with KitKat)

3. Root the phone

4. Install the cyanogen ROM

I will assist you with pleasure if you have questions, the big step is too unlock.

Regards,

Laurent
[RAZR i General] pashtun:
Thanks for the help, Laurent. I followed your instructions and managed to install CM11, and it's running great so far. After restoring all of my apps, currently only approximately half of the internal storage and half of the RAM is being used whereas they were both always almost full with the stock ICS ROM.

Everything is running MUCH faster and smoother on CM11; no more lags and freezes when switching between apps or returning to the home screen. The whole phone is so much more responsive now, it's like having a new one!
[RAZR i General] goldenelephant:
Great! Feel the same as you. Just hope we can solve battery drain issue. This is tje bigger one to me.

Regs
[RAZR i General] mervluk:
For battery drain I'd look at apps and any xposed modules. I moved too from ics and drain has reduced by 30% or more, but edited my apps to those I actually use. And avoided the task killers and those that turn features on and off and need to monitor the phone constantly, especially the older ones.

According to Motorola the update should be near: 990.43.74

[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Also in case anyone is wondering, here is the link to the German version of it: https://motorola-global-portal-de.c...detail/p/30,6720,8593/a_id/102581/reg/2214250

Moto support says, its just an announcement for an upgrade in the future, still no information when the update actually will happen.

Also before everyone is jumping on the new update, the release faq says, a downgrade won't be possible, so most likely they update the bootloader, but it should be possible to just manually skip the bootloader flash by using fastboot, correct [MENTION=4479363]Hazou[/MENTION] ?
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
If someone mad a flashable fastboot system file, then yes. But the beta didn't contain any bootloader files, so i don't think it will be the case in the official release either. But let's first look at that zip file. A downgrade is always possible as long as u know what u are doing and don't flash any bootloader files.

I'm running this version 91.2.29001.xt890.retail.en.GB never rooted or anything of the sort ,yet when i try to check for system updates i keep getting the message "System updates" is not available without a Motorola service account...2 options Setup or Cancel..clicking Setup which takes you nowhere after loading for several minutes...is this normal?
[RAZR i General] AGISCI:
I had that issue before. Turns out it was because of a time zone change in my country for day light savings time. I moved the hour back 1 hour manually and it checked for updates correctly. However this was on a razr i from Chile.

[RAZR i General] pintness:
Actually, there was only one guy reporting the OTA Update and posting a screenshot, but he "couldn't install it before monday because of reasons" and now that it's tuesday, he posted that "the update isn't showing up any more and the Razr i says it's up to date"

I call bull****.

On the other hand, CM11 runs great :)
[RAZR i General] Sui77:
Ok, got my Razr working as disk drive under Win7....forgotten to check "debugging" ....silly mistake

However, I'm still thinking that the battery drains faster tahn in Omar's Rom.

I'm also owning a NEXUS 5, bought on release day but never used it so far. It's too big and has no camera button.

Touched it several times, flashed LL and so on, but never took it for daily use.

Why Motorolo don't kick out a new Razr I with recent specs? Would bge a success, I think

[RAZR i General] Deep-Knight:
Just got the update to the final version here in germany, after falshing back the old system stock image via rsd.

Now i have the problem, that i cannot enter fastboot modus (power + vol down), & cannot flash custom recovery to root ? Any ideas ?

ADB Debugging is turned on, but adb reboot does not work :(

Also BootLoader unloocked Message is there again.

Still a lot of work...

Got it into Fastboot one time : Power + Vol Down until second vibration then release power button ... Flashed TWRP Custom recovery via :

->fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img

sending 'recovery' (10586 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.310s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 5.928s]

finished. total time: 7.254s

> But Handy screen still stuck [MENTION=238443]Flashing[/MENTION] Recovery

and then after choosing recovery at fast boot menu, black screen and no

recovery... adb fastboot recovery -> recovery does not work...
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Can u flah back the stock one and see what happens? What does cwm do? What does the old cwm-touch do?
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
[MENTION=219392]Thomas[/MENTION]

If you still have the update zip (the OTA), could you upload it? I still haven't received the OTA and its hard to help without having the same version
[RAZR i General] Deep-Knight:
-> Got it...

After a fastboot erase recovery and reflash recovery it works.

Its very difficult to get into fastboot mode without adb.

Here are my other Kitkat "test" results:

Update :

1. Reflashed only Stock 4.1.2 system.img via RSD without User Data wipe.

2. Download Kitkat OTA ...

3. Install 4.4.

4. Reflash Custom Recovery (TWRP)

5. Root via SuperSU.ZIP (TWRP).

6. Sim Unlog does not work after first boot. Need to boot one time without sim, then reinsert sim after reboot.

Why i went back to 4.1.2 :

-ADB does not work with Kitkat anymore ?Debbuging enabled !

-Navigon Select does not work with external SD-Card , even SD-Fix is applied

-No animated status icons for network connection

-Got Adobe Flash not working again with Dolphin Browser and TV app "Schoener Fernsehen"

-Issues with dropping app icons to Home-Screen (accurate moving/placing not possible, only to new empty scree possible and the moving the app icon to final position / folder)

Maybe i try it again later with a full system wipe, but currently i don´t have time for that.

I did not downloaded the Update OTA ZIP File . Sry.
[RAZR i General] yostyle:
Stupid question..

hello everybody...

Waiting the coming week (official release date of the update, based on what the topic on android-hilfe says), i'm asking to myself what to do for a correct update. I'm currently on stock retail GB, only rooted and with bootloader animation changed.

Is necessary to restore the original animation and then unroot? (with the option listed in the app SuperSu?)

Or just unroot? or neither that?

Thanx
[RAZR i General] qubbey:
What do you mean by "no animated status icons for network connection"?

Flash and TV is pretty dead, so I don't really care about that.

A different home launcher (e.g. google now launcher) should fix the last point.

But I'm really concerned about the non workind ADB and I guess the razr i will never ever see another official update ever again.
[RAZR i General] Deep-Knight:
The E or 3g / H+ Network Icons are not longer animated in 4.4. So you dont see any active traffic. May be we can change this later with some mods.

But the ADB connection issue is still one big problem i think.

The SD-Write problem, comes with 4.4 need to be fixed / customized too, to get Navigon back to work again on external sd card...

The launcher problem, was fixed by wiping the App Cache for the drawer app...
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
I'm still on beta but ADB works fine and don't believe Moto disabled it in final version cause it's permanent android component. Rest is minor issues and little work with xposed can fix it.
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Guys, I have a GB phone, how can I switch from Omar's rom to this 4.4 keeping my apps.
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
By backing them upp with Titanium Backup
[RAZR i General] Krepostnoj:
Is it possible to download that somehow any instructions how to install it. I have bootloader unlocked and Carl.
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
jaja, update is roling out and i got it. :D 990.43.74.XT890.Retail.en.EU

Unfortunate i was in the Beta so i don't have a whole zip to share. My last zip was only 11MB big. I can make a system.img for twrp for the ones who want it. But that could take about 8 hours to be up.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
I'll update en.EU after work and before midnight it should be uploaded.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Both ota and nandroid.
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Thanks, still no OTA on my en.EU on my 3 razr i phones.

and dont ask why i have 3, all my flat mates got the same phone :D
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
I also have 3, mine, my girlfriend and one for sell. Now waiting for my gf with her phone to catch OTA cause mine already has beta.
[RAZR i General] bracima:
Same here!
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
Ok, now all is clear - only beta testers had OTA. Only my main phone has OTA. Backing up my system now and after I'll trey to make some clean backup.
[RAZR i General] nicop91:
Aaarrh ! So still no ota for people that were not in beta ? Aaaarrrhh
[RAZR i General] AGISCI:
True, but that means we are close to getting it as well. They test the final product, then we get it.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
If beta testers got it so maybe it will be tomorrow or in a few days, anyway I'm still working to make backup and hope to upload it soon.
[RAZR i General] nicop91:
Ah yes, you are testing the OTA function for us :D
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
It won't be so easy as it was with beta update. New update wont pass on different device than one which was downloaded. On my main device I have messed up system so it takes some time to clean it up.
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
And another problem. Anyone from beta test had problem with system/bin/debuggerd and fixed it or I need to wipe whole my system??

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

I'm afraid that without clean install I wont do that. For sure I will but in a weekend cause all my work is in this phone and last time I spend 2 days to make it right. So if Your Moto wont update soon ask Hazou or another beta tester for backup or wait for mine in a weekend. Sorry.
[RAZR i General] zheka99:
Found this on russian forum

Its a twrp backup from the EU version 20.74

Download
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Nice find, but why the ads link?

This one is mine: KIA20.74STOCK.zip

It only contains the System and Boot files. No root or what so ever and no extra Data. Just extract the zip and copy the folder to your TWRP backup folder.

A factory-reset through recovery is maybe necessary, but maybe it is not. Depends on your apps.

A dalvik/cache wipe is needed!
[RAZR i General] zheka99:
im found it so :)

the link from me is also stock original

I am personally interested anyway more CM11 :)

:good:
[RAZR i General] Furydrone:
Hello guys, I have one very noobish question.

I have standard Jelly bean, no root, locked bootloader, eveything stock. Do I need to backup my apps/settings when KK will be available? I'm not sure if updating will wipe it or not.

And one additional question: how to root my razr I after installing 4.4.2?
[RAZR i General] Chamelleon:
You can backup Your apps but for this update (from JB to KK) phone should be fully wiped to avoid incompatible apps bugs. There are differences between sone JB and KK apps and if You install it on KK it would not working. I suppose that You can install TWRP and just flash SuperSU just as it was on beta.
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
The OTA update process is really weird.

Many users on android-hilfe.de have reported they already received the OTA update, but none of them were rooted so they couldn't upload the OTA.

It seems like all beta users already have received the small OTA update.

But on my 2 locked BL+twerk phones as well as 1 locked BL+no root phone no OTA update as of now, I must have really bad luck for not receiving the OTA on any of those 3 phones ;)

As soon as I receive the JB-KK OTA update I'll upload it so everyone can enjoy it :)

I'll also give voodoorootkeeper a try, maybe we are lucky and keep su, I really don't want to unlock my BL and lose warranty (last month's repair showed me how crucial it really is to still have it in warranty)
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Some users indeed got the update, because they where selected on IMEI number for the public SOAK test. Because of some communication hikup the public SOAK test was before us (BETA testers). So we needed to wait till yesterday to get it while the public soak test began on last monday. But this all means the update should be there in days/weeks. Not months anymore :)
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
[MENTION=4479363]Hazou[/MENTION]

Yep, the public soak test started before the beta users received their small ota update to kk final but many users on android-hilfe.de reported already they received teh final kk update and I'm 99% sure they are not beta testers.

All of the ones who received the OTA are not rooted, so you can assume, they are not into the entire beta MFN thing.

And you can at least be sure that 1 user who received the update is not part of the beta group cause its his daughters phone and she uses it all the time and I'm sure he wouldn't force her to participate in any beta program ;)

So I'm pretty sure that really non beta users are receiving the OTA, just nobody yet who happens to be rooted or is going to root for the community to upload the OTA :crying:
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Your are right. But i meant by public SOAk test, nobody of the BETA testers where involved with that one, the final 450~MB update or more. They where indeed (the daugther of that person) invited to install it. Just random selected i think and not pronounced that it was coming. So a SOAK test in the public ;)
[RAZR i General] tachno:
Hello!

Do i have to flash the brasilian firmware first to get a newer bootloader and/or radio?

Or can i flash the twrp backup with the "old" 4.1.2 base directly via twrp?

Thanks in advance!
[RAZR i General] khaledm_92:
Another noob question: Does it matter that I dont have a sim inside my phone as I've already upgraded to another phone? Obviously I keep it connected to wifi.
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
Nope, u can just restore the TWRP backup as long as u use the latest recovery! Or things may not work.

The new Kitkat doesn't contain any bootloader files.

Don't think so. A sim is not a needed for an OTA update. Just make sure u phone still has an IMEI number, hard to lose that.
[RAZR i General] ICuaI:
Oha. So theoretical the (RSD-Lite -) downgrade back to JB should be possible without any problems as the downgrade from JB to ICS was really tricky because of the new bootloader? Or miss I something?
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
On paper it should. All the update zips i poses from beta don't have a bootloader file in it. But I don't know how the RSD firmware will look like. On the pther hand, someone got the official update zip (450mb) and his bootloader resets. So at the moment i am not sure till I or someone else can investigate the RSD firmware files.
[RAZR i General] ICuaI:
As we in Germany say: Paper is Patience :D

You are right, no one can say how does the RSD firmware file will look. It was just my first thought as I read that there isn't a bootloader integratet in the OTA. So we have to do it like paper: be patient :D :highfive:
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Hm, from what I read:

1) public soak test during the week (just a few users, no beta testers)

2) <20mb beta KK--> final KK OTA on the same date as regular users from android-hilfe.de who were not part of the beta group or the public soak test group.

---------- Post added at 23:34 ---------- Previous post was at 23:31 ----------

I always wondered where the firmware files come from since RSDlite is not an "official" tool for end-users according to Moto
[RAZR i General] pirast:
still no official ota for me (retail.en.EU). this is taking really long.
[RAZR i General] khaledm_92:
Same here. This is probably one of the most pathetic updates ever seen on android. Its almost comical actually since 4.4 was actually released 1.5 years ago!

I thought Motorola were good with updates on their newer phones, but from what I've read recently, not even the first gen moto X has received android 5.0 yet.
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
It's not pathetic. That's not quite the right connotation.

It's just sad. ?.

It's the triumph of marketing over engineering. Form over substance. Shiny instead of good. Motorola had the engineering brilliance above all other radio telephone makers. A bunch of pointy haired stupid and greedy managers ruined the company.
[RAZR i General] mervluk:
Sorry folks, but Motorola is dead. Tweets mean nothing. It was a basket case, look at the accounts. Nothing happens, because no-one will pay for it. Google lost a shed load of cash, and Lenovo need to sell whatever new line of phones emerges to make some money. Existing users are abandoned. The same problems afflict Moto G and X users. Minimal support, and it's rubbish.

The XDA devs are the only hope. But they'll receive no help from Motorola. So as for kernel sources, I think forget it.
[RAZR i General] bughunt3r:
You are wrong.

Get your facts straight and wait!
[RAZR i General] khaledm_92:
At least we now know we should steer clear of Motorola for any future phones.
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
Yes I figured that out a year and a half ago and jumped to Apple. Here I am posting on that same iPhone 5s running the latest software, running better with more capability than when I first purchased it. Not that Apple doesn't have its share of issues, but in the long run I'm spending way less money for an overall better experience with far fewer headaches. The Android update model is still completely broken and I still see no signs of it getting any better. Google/Android is a mess and I see no reason to come back yet. Maybe not ever. If they don't radically change the update model Apple is going to continue to wipe the floor with them in terms of profit and customer satisfaction.
[RAZR i General] qubbey:
But the LG G Flex for example costs way less money, but has the same bending feature the new iPhones have.

So same overall experience but for less money.
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
I'm just posting my experience. I actually hate Apple as a company. They're completely evil. Nevertheless they're better at putting together an overall hardware and software experience than anyone else at the moment.

I think ultimately the problem is that Google is in bed with the mass media and carrier oligopolies, while Apple just tends them to bugger off and does whatever they want.

Either way we get doinked, but at least with Apple I'm getting doinked without having a headache at the same time.
[RAZR i General] nicop91:
STOP comparing a 100€ phone with 700 or 1000 € ! That's just completely RIDICULOUS !

And it's not the topic.

(Except when you want SMS acknowledgement of receipt Eheheh :p)
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
It's a valid comparison because I ended up buying zillions of Android devices just to try to have a good experience without endless frustrating bugs. Every one of those devices ended up having either terrible or zero support and updates after purchase, including my Nexus. Screw that. Apple has ended up being far less expensive for me in the long run. My OG RAZR and my RAZRi in the end turned me away from Motorola specifically, and Android in general. My Nexus showed me that Google can't do Android right even with complete control.

Maybe Ubuntu or Jolla can do something good in the future, but my Android experience has been over the past 5 years, dismal.
[RAZR i General] chuckiebronco:
Still no one cares about that...

Glad that you are finally happy with whatever, but post your love swears elsewhere, please.

You are as offtopic as can be!

Tapatalked via motoRAZRi
[RAZR i General] iolinux333:
My response is on topic. Read the first post. It asks the question will we get update. Answer is no. Why answer no? Because Android model is broken in a way we thought would eventually get fixed, but now it is apparent no fix is in the works, across the entire Android spectrum, including Nexus devices. It is the reason Motorola died and why Apple continues to clean up all the profit. If Motorola had pounced and made all updates available day one of release, don't you think consumers would have caught wind of that?

Too many of us got screwed, Motorola died.

All of the Android handset makers are being wiped out for the same reason-consumers are sick and tired of the BS.

Corporate idiots thought we were stupid and could be forced and tricked into buying new hardware every year when we knew our old hardware was perfectly capable and just needed updates to keep up with modern internet and security needs.
