[Droid Ultra General] YoungSkeezy:
Sooo if we never flashed SS, we SHOULD be able to just unfreeze sstuff and update right? being rooted shouldn't affect the ABILITY to download.
[Droid Ultra General] DeerSteak:
Yeah still have blue and gray instead of white and orange like stock KitKat. I'm also disappointed. Guessing that they kept all of the stock Droid skin rather than fix that.
[Droid Ultra General] Butterxbean:
Well this is weird. I have the transparent nav bar, but blue icons. I can post proof if you'd like. It's strange. The bar at the bottom of the pulldown menu is white, but my battery, time, wi-fi, etc aren't (I should note that I do have GEL installed, unrooted, WP still on). It's 4.4 according to the about menu btw, not 4.4.2 for those wondering. You CAN select ART as well, which is wonderful. I know some 4.4 updates had that disabled (Nexus 10?)
[Droid Ultra General] DeerSteak:
I don't have GEL installed. Does it work with the circles widget? I love that thing, but the kitkat launcher on the Play store didn't work with it on JB (no 3rd party launcher allowed, I guess).
[Droid Ultra General] Butterxbean:
Unfortunately, no. The GEL is still considered "third party" to it. At least that was the case before in 4.2. I'm still waiting on my device to boot with ART. I'll report back after.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
Noob question.... Whats ART? or am i missing something?
[Droid Ultra General] DeerSteak:
Yeah, definitely doesn't work with GEL.

GEL got me half-way there. My battery, clock, and wifi are blue still, but now I have transparency. So now the tradeoff is having Google Now as a swipe from the left or having Circles. I own BW so I guess I could install it like I did on my Nexus 7, then I'd have the same interface.
[Droid Ultra General] w0rdie:
Its a the next gen framework that Google threw into 4.4 as an option.

Supposed to be more smooth/snappy but can cause some compatibility issues.
[Droid Ultra General] DeerSteak:
I've heard TiBu doesn't work with ART (and that's fine because I don't use it) but in my experience on my Nexus 7 and the 2 hours or so on my Droid Mini, I've never run into an app that gets wonky.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
If you're rooted you'll likely have a modified install.recovery.sh so it will fail. A modified file looks like this:

(if it's anything else please upload your file or paste it's contents into here or a PM to me. Thank you).

#!/system/bin/sh

# If you're implementing this in a custom kernel/firmware,

# I suggest you use a different script name, and add a service

# to launch it from init.rc

# Launches SuperSU in daemon mode only on Android 4.3+.

# Nothing will happen on 4.2.x or older, unless SELinux+Enforcing.

# If you want to force loading the daemon, use "--daemon" instead

/system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &

# Some apps like to run stuff from this script as well, that will

# obviously break root - in your code, just search this file

# for "install-recovery-2.sh", and if present, write there instead.

/system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
Can someone just capture the ota upgrade link for the ultra
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Same situation here as well. Anyone figured out a fix yet (assuming there is one)? I can flash motoboot and logo just fine, but gpt, boot, system, and a bunch of other partitions will not flash and say that they failed preflash validation. It will throw the error that "Security version downgraded".
[Droid Ultra General] an21281:
Exactly what I have been dealing with! Hoping that there will be a fix soon, only other option that I see would be waiting for the Kit Kat FXZ to be released.
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Exactly what I was thinking. Can anyone confirm/deny if, in theory, having the SBF files for KitKat would fix our problem? I think it should, but I don't fancy myself an expert.
[Droid Ultra General] athingunique:
That'd do it.
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Any idea how long it takes for the SBF/FXZ files to usually show up after the update comes out? I think I'm back to my RAZR MAXX HD until then, because I know if I call Verizon they will want to give me one of their crappy refurb units.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Week week and a half maybe
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Sorry I think my xda app is skipping some posts what did u guys do? try extracting t he zip and pushing contents in fastboot?

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Well damn that's a long time to wait for KitKat. Hopefully it happens sooner.

Not sure if this will motivate anyone or not, but I've got $20 for anyone who is willing to to get us those SBF/FXZ files within the next 24 hours so that those of us who are stuck can get their phones working again. I want my Maxx back and working, as a phone without touchless control just seems wrong now that I have been spoiled!
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
I have a refurb and it better than that creaky new unit I had.
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
Did your original Maxx make a creaky sound when you squeezed it on the right side of the device? Mine does that and it drives me nuts. It's like the Kevlar back is not completely fastened or something. Hard to explain unless you have experienced it.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
Exactly how mine was. The replacement has started to do it a little as well. It is much better than the new one I had.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
ok so i got this also when try to apply the ota via adb, i think i screwed up by renaming it ota.zip. im using the stock file now and it appears to be working, its currently patching system file, if it works ill upload the ota to dev host and post the link

ok ima hella confused ota worked, but kept rebooting to bootloader with "flash failure" i acidentally selected "factory" and it booted into android but with no service reboot agaain, flash failure. what did i do
[Droid Ultra General] hajabooja:
Why not apply it through stock Android recovery?
[Droid Ultra General] digitaloutsider:
I'm patiently awaiting that zip!
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
That would be fantastic, especially if being able to apply the ota via sideload fixes my problem.
[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
Pretty please upload it!
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
it wasnt push from verizon someone pulled it from /cashe and sent it to me

and im not really comforable posting it just yet as i dont know what the hell i did to my phone

it boots in "factory" but with no service

it boots in "bp tool" and i have full service

regular reboot flash faliure

idk if i should continue with the root method and see what happens or try a factory rest via recovery

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

oh and on a less important note why the hell dont i have the kitkat dialer, all ive got is the same crap from jelly bean
[Droid Ultra General] reggie14:
According to Punit, you can thank Verizon for that... They had to find some way to screw their users over.
[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
The new dialer is Nexus only for now.
[Droid Ultra General] hajabooja:
You can just rename it update.zip and put it on your internal storage. Boot into Android recovery and select "apply update.zip". Not sure if something went wrong with your flash, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
Just please someone post I'm going crazy with this whole staged rollout
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
ok id have to say something went wrong somewhere with the flash, i can only get at internal in "factory mode" so im moving the update there now

heres another super confusing piece of the puzzle, i decided to try the last step of slap my moto, for the way i read it it should have rebooted, this didnt happ, then a min ago i decided to run a root check, and i have root...

i am so lost i cant even put it into words
[Droid Ultra General] reggie14:
Unless I'm mistaken, the Moto X has the new dialer. It just doesn't have the new dialer with local business search.

The Droid 4.4 build is stuck entirely on the old dialer.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
that my friend is why im very uncomfortable posting till i figure out what i did. i was impatient and now i think i screwed up pretty bad, i dont want to be reasonable for facilitating the same twitchy move for someone else
[Droid Ultra General] PILLMUZIK3600:
At least post a drop box link
[Droid Ultra General] bendrum30:
I agree with TheWhiteChallenger. I wouldn't be comfortable posting something that didn't work for me.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
someone with a dev edition is testing the ota file i have it his get screwed up to i will not be posting it at all. if it dosent then that more or less confirms whats happening to me is an isolated incident. i dont want to post a corrupted ota a brick a bunch of people
[Droid Ultra General] bluh5d:
I will verify that I have droid maxx and I am on kit kat 4.4 and I am rooted and I have hotspot working .
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Do you have the new dailer? I need to know this is diagnostic if I'm supposed to have it then I didn't get the full update, and that could be my issue
[Droid Ultra General] bluh5d:
My Dialer looks exactly the same as it did before kit kat !
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
OK.... So factory reset via recovery seemed to do the trick, so I still have no idea what the hell happened how I got where I am, and am general confused. But anyway I'm putting up the link now since I was able to fix whatever I did, however, I'm warning everyone that I had issues and I'm going to bed now so I won't be able to offer my help of anyone has the same problem, atleast until tomorrow. Also FYI I still have root after the factory reset so if your bold go follow jcases new post in original development and here is the updated file, unzip and use the zip file inside. And regardless of what you should be able to do I don't recommend changing the name of the zip.

http://d-h.st/vV5
[Droid Ultra General] commando122:
No link?
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
fixed

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

that sucks so bad, moto needs to get more dev editions in stock so i can flash the moto x files and be done with all this puppy poop
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
You are the man! I think. Assuming you are a dude.

Why would you unzip the zip?
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
The folder within Droid Maxx KitKat OTA.zip reads "Blur_Version.12.15.15.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US" which is 4.2.2. Kit Kat (4.4) should be higher number.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
Updates are always labeled from version you update from.
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
TIL.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
Why does it has to Be a dev edition?
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
You need an unlocked boot loader to flash the stock moto x fastboot imgs

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Just so everyone knows SafeStrap 3.65 works on KitKat so far as I can tell. Installs and boots w/o bricking I'll report on backup/restore ability tomarrow
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
Why not simply unlock the boot loader from Motorola using the webpage?
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
You can only do that with dev edition.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
You must be new. It doesn't work like that.
[Droid Ultra General] danman7:
According to the Verizon website, the update should be named "19.5.3.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US"

The 4.2.2 update was named "Blur_Version.12.15.15.obake_verizon.Verizon.en.US" It's been stored here for a while.
[Droid Ultra General] Caseyk621:
Dang that's for Maxx. Irrevocably shouldn't use it for Ultra Huh?
[Droid Ultra General] commando122:
You are confused.

Update files downloaded from Verizon are always named after what you are updateing FROM. The files at that link are FXZ recovery files - OTA updates.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
This is the correct update file for the droid maxx. When you pull it from /cashed the update file has the name of the current software not what the zip actually contains. I was part of the 12.15.15 soak and when I got the notice for it first thing I did was pull it from /cashed and it was titled 12.7.7. I was co fused to but this is the KitKat update.

And in awnser to another question below, no,I highly recommend against trying this on the ultra.
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
I can confirm that while it does say that, it is the 4.4 update. I just sideloaded the update to my Maxx and viola - I now have 4.4.
[Droid Ultra General] j.bruha:
I received the OTA today too (haven't applied it) and can confirm that the popup claimed that it was indeed 4.4 Kitkat. The only file in my Cache folder was the 500mb zip file, dated 12/19, and also labeled 12.15.15. The original camera OTA you linked to is over 700mb, so I think it might just be a mismatch in labeling. I can upload mine too, but I think it'd be redundant.
[Droid Ultra General] Caseyk621:
Maxx or Ultra?
[Droid Ultra General] j.bruha:
XT1080M, Maxx.
[Droid Ultra General] Caseyk621:
Crap! Lol thanks though
[Droid Ultra General] j.bruha:
Yeah, sorry, bro! Not sure why it matters this year between the Maxx and Ultra as the RAZR HD and MAXX HD used the same files last year, but it totally does! Really frustrating!
[Droid Ultra General] commando122:
I can confirm that this file worked flawlessly for me.

What I did:

Renamed 12.15.15 file to update.zip

Booted into recovery

Apply update from sdcard

Selected update.zip

Recovery was updated, phone rebooted

Repeated steps

Phone updates

Reboot

Worked fine. If you are rooted, make sure you have the correct install-recovery.sh file or it will fail.
[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
Appreciate the upload! I'm now on 4.4 and rooted using SlapMyMoto.
[Droid Ultra General] Caseyk621:
Glad you guys are having success. If anyone has OTA for ultra would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
Can confirm. Same exact steps. Works great.
[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
Is the "OK Google" hotword detection broken for everyone else after the update? It doesn't work for me in GoogleNow or GEL.
[Droid Ultra General] commando122:
Works for me
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
The zip file broke my MAXX. Will take it in for replacement tomorrow.
[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
Moto's "Hey Google Now" touchless controls work fine. But you're saying that your "OK Google" search bar works at the top of GoogleNow?
[Droid Ultra General] Jobehonda:
Just wanted to also confirm the steps above worked on my MAXX as well.
[Droid Ultra General] dxl880517:
Will the update also work for mini?
[Droid Ultra General] sp47:
Thanx! Worked great!
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
How so?
[Droid Ultra General] evobyte:
I'm stock not rooted and when I go into my recovery it gives me an error with the little android with stomach open. I followed all steps any ideas??
[Droid Ultra General] BladeRunner:
Hit vol up and power when you see the dead andy to get into the stock recovery

Sent from my XT1080 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
i tried flashing the ota.zip by adb sideload and it fails at the verification by saying install-recovery.sh has unrecognized changes in it. and fastboot will not allow me to format or flash anything to try to fix it. is there any way to correct this issue? i do have a replacement coming from vzw today but i would prefer to keep this one i already have.
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Were you rooted when you tried to push the ota?
[Droid Ultra General] evobyte:
Do I have to extract the zip?? Sorry for asking stupid question I just don't wanna mess my phone up
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
i was rooted. i had already flashed the stock recovery. and used voodoo to temp unroot before i took the ota
[Droid Ultra General] TheWhiteChallenger:
Yes that would do it. Sorry can't help with that one
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
thanks.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
What's the easiest way to get to 4.4 from 4.2.2 that was fxzd save data and rooted by installing not running pwnmymoto before taking 4.2.2 update?

Would that be temp unroot with voodoo?

Also have safe strap
[Droid Ultra General] commando122:
If you downloaded it from TheWhiteChallenger, then yes, you have to pull the 12.15.15 file out of the zip he uploaded. Put the 12.15.15 on your USB storage and follow the steps outlined in my earlier post.
[Droid Ultra General] glemery007:
This worked great for me - Thanks!
[Droid Ultra General] deadman_raziel:
I'm either stupid or just unlucky

I'm having issues loading KK on my Maxx.

I downloaded it from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4

Once downloaded. Renamed it to be update.zip

copied to my device, went into recovery, and apply update from sdcard

it gets to verifying update package, and it aborts.

Ideas/Suggestions? I've never rooted this device.
[Droid Ultra General] Brenardo:
Pretty sure KK is not available on that site. That is the 4.2.2 update?
[Droid Ultra General] digitaloutsider:
This worked for me. I ended up sideloading it through ADB, but the first time it failed about 10% of the way through. It had written the new recovery and bootloader but rebooted back to the bootloader screen. It wouldn't allow a boot becuase of the downgrade error. Got back into recovery, re-pushed via ADB and it worked.

4.4 and root here.
[Droid Ultra General] deadman_raziel:
That is a link for getting the firmware if not from TheWhiteCharger (can't get to his site from work). It was my understanding (please educate me if I'm wrong) that the download is always named by the version it's updating. So the 12.15.15 is the present version and it is the upgrade to that.

So, if I'm wrong, please correct me, but that's the impression that I got from previous posts (starting around page 12) and moving forward.
[Droid Ultra General] glemery007:
4.4 Easter Egg "S" Rather Than "K"?

Anyone notice....?
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
those are the files you use with rsd lite or house of moto. kitkat for the maxx/ultra is not up there yet.
[Droid Ultra General] jarrettv:
S for second phone to get kitkat update (not counting nexus)
[Droid Ultra General] ws6formula350:
Used the .zip posted in here, worked flawlessly.

I can confirm the Nova Launcher double home press issue, though (the device throwing up the desktop preview when hitting the home key from the desktop). If you hit the home key from an app, though, it just takes you back to the home screen (no preview).
[Droid Ultra General] danman7:
I'm seeing the same thing. I just went into the Gestures and Buttons settings in Nova and set Home button to "None". I figure it will be fixed at some point. I can pinch down to bring up the preview, if I need it.
[Droid Ultra General] ViaCapita13:
Installed the update from this thread. No hiccups. Thanks guys for posting.

Now to root!
[Droid Ultra General] ws6formula350:
Yeah, I did the same thing.

Got the phone yesterday and super happy to have Kitkat already :D I was running CM11 on my DROID 4 but couldn't stand the battery life any more.
[Droid Ultra General] Gtech145:
Trying to flash the zip but I keep getting this error after Verifying current system. "/system/app/vznavigator.apk" has unexpected contents
[Droid Ultra General] wallace342:
My Maxx is still stuck to where I can only get into the bootloader, fastboot, and recovery. When I try to install the update by using "adb sideload [update filename].zip" it tells me "'system/etc/install-recovery.sh' has unexepected contents". Since I can't boot into the OS, is there any way for me to fix this at this point, or am I going to have to wait for the SBF/FXZ files?
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
did you uninstall this app or disable it? if it was disabled the update should still work. if it was uninstalled the update will fail since it checks for the preinstalled "bloat"
[Droid Ultra General] Gtech145:
I disabled it the applications menu but it's still there. Not sure why it would error out on it.
[Droid Ultra General] chevyrado14:
weird the update should have still worked.
[Droid Ultra General] Gtech145:
Yeah, I do not what else to try. Maybe the install partially updated some of the system apps and the sideload is looking for the old apk.
[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
If you installed the 4.4 update before starting the SlapMyMoto process, you're not going to be able to root right now. You'll have to wait until another exploit is found.
[Droid Ultra General] Gtech145:
Now that I think of it I don't even remember having VZ navigator. Do our phones come with that? If so maybe someone could pull it from a backup for me.
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
So have any droid ultras received the update
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
Trust me, the update is very buggy right now and we are working on correcting it.
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
You work for moto?
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
Yes I work with moto. I was the first one with the soak for 4.4 and it is nothing but problems at the moment.
[Droid Ultra General] ks2332:
I don't mind lol is it the fishing error or actual bugs
[Droid Ultra General] r00st3r9109:
Actual bugs. Data is messed up. About half of the testers have a bricked device at the current moment
[G2 General] eldedo:
now the middle button you can change, like home launcher etc, however is there any way to change the other 2? where is this located? any ideas?
[G2 General] eldedo:
The 3 shortcuts are a voice, Google and qmemo
[G2 General] Makrilli:
Carbon rom might have that feature. I'm not sure
[G2 General] Mete2:
icons

without any rom or root, cant we change them ??
[G2 General] player911:
Probably not.

I've only seen these to be changed when using custom roms with that feature. They also allow 1, 3, or 5 icon layouts. And the option to disable it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euforeik:
I was getting up to 16 hours of battery life and now I barely get 7?! Can anyone help me out? I didn't even use it as much as I usually do.. What is the Android OS doing that uses so much battery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkuczy16:
You probably have a rogue app. Factory reset would help if you can't remember any recent apps you downloaded before this happened
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siciliano777:
Factory reset is overreacting a bit. Simply get a battery monitor app like gsam to pinpoint which app has gone rogue.

Also check wakelocks with wakelock detector app.

when u have both... U gonna love it... U can do a lot..

if u r thinking to buy any of the F series Samsung TV... go for 7000 or F7500 or F8000... the only reason coz u can do screen mirroring...

plus I installed xbmc on my phone... N do screen mirroring... so I can watch any movie free N plus HD...

then it has media server capabilities... so I hooked up a USB filled with tons of movies to my router.... so I can detect it directly from my Samsung TV...

oh man.. the possibilities are endless...

plus don't ever forget the 3D functions... they are awesome... i download lots of movies in 3d N watch them on my Samsung TV.... simply awesome....
