[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 2010radams:
If you have connected your phone to kies in the past it is maybe recognising it as the old version. If you re-install kies it should recognise the new software you have put on your phone. I have a s4 mini like you that is unlocked and i am always switching the software version region whenever a new version is released. I have had to reinstall kies in the past. But in the end i have always got it to work and update the phone using kies.

Edit- my phone is from great britain(BTU) on 4.4.2. So i just flashed an older version of 4.4.2 that is from the netherlands(PHN). As soon as i switched my phone back on it offered my an OTA update for the netherlands firmware. So, it should work for you. I was just talking to a friend of mine and he said even though it said on kies that your version was XFE it should still offer you an upgrade as long as it was recognising the kazakstan firmware. Make sure you have an internet connection when connecting to kies and it may take upto 5 minutes for kies to recognise you need an update so leave your phone connected to kies for 5 minutes. Otherwise see what happens if you select 'check for update' in your phone settings and see what it says. Good luck.

It's alright. I did the hard reset and when i restarted my phone it found itself the 4.4 update :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 2010radams:
Good i'm pleased for you. It should work ok.

Of course! Now it is more fast and i have some new options. Thank you a lot :o
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] 2010radams:
Great. At least you have kitkat software now. I dont think samsung are releasing lollipop for our phone so thats it now. If you ever want to upgrade your kitkat software to a newer kitkat version you only need to download the file from sammobile and flash it using odin. You dont need to use kies anymore now you are 4.4.2
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sansone993:
I red on the net that the s4 mini didn't pass the main tests for lollipop so it probably won't have 5.0.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sansone993:

4.4.2 is the last. But we do have new twiz ports from 4.4.4 / 5.0 to 4.4.2

Do you think it would cause any problems if i flashed firware I9195UBUCOE1 on a GT-I9195 LTE that came with United Kingdom XXU firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
As long as the firmware is meant for I9195 LTE model you can flash it.

But it is recommended to flash firmwares that are meant for your

country as the modem is optimised for network bands.

And all that for the half of the price !!!!!!

[Moto X Q&A] tyapeter:
Hi,

I just got my Moto X Dev Edition GSM TMO last week, but I got it very unstable, while I had try to wipe cache and factory reset few times.

Some problem that I have

Numeric Keypad is not shown while using google keyboard. The problem that my email is using 2FA from google to entry my 6-digit PIN

Chrome freeze while open quite complex pages

Gmail freezing while open communication more than 3 email on the messaging mode

Path also unstable while need to scroll down and request to reload more data.

Whatsapp stuck when there's few message has beeen received

Thinking to downgrade the os to 4.4, but when I read in some thread inform better not to downgrade that might cause device brick.

Is there any other solution so I can use my Moto X for daily, while waiting for T-Mobile latest 4.4.2 rom.

Please share

Thank you
[Moto X Q&A] SymbioticGenius:
If you have to downgrade to 4.4, but you're waiting for T-Mobile 4.4.2, what ROM are you running?

MotoX Developer Edition went from German 4.4.2 to Great Britain 4.4.2 to T-Mobile 4.4.2 no problem. Fastboot FTW!
[Moto X Q&A] tyapeter:
Currently I'm using T-Mobile 4.4.2 OTA

Is it possible to restore to factory image with T-Mobile 4. 4?
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
Yes. But don't flash motoboot.img or gpt.img, it won't let you downgrade those. This doesn't means that you won't brick with other version.
[Moto X Q&A] tyapeter:
Eksasol,

What did you mean with don't flash with those files? Is that means unzip the image files and take out those files and zip again?

Which images is the best one for downgrade, from the sbf Blur_Version.161.44.25.ghost_row.Retail.en.US.zip or TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_1FF.xml.zip

And also what you mean with "This doesn't means that you won't brick with other version"? Is that mean that not guarantee that downgrade won't have brick on the devices?

Please advice thanks
[Moto X Q&A] SymbioticGenius:
Let me make it easier. Just flash the system and kernel files leave everything else alone. However the ability to go back depends on how you got to 4.4.2 to begin with, OP said he took the OTA, not sure about you.

My advice assuming you're stock is to call Motorola, tell them you took the ota and these are the issues you're having. Get them to send you a new phone. I'd rather see you do that than brick your phone trying to do it yourself.

MotoX Developer Edition went from German 4.4.2 to Great Britain 4.4.2 to T-Mobile 4.4.2 no problem. Fastboot FTW!
[Moto X Q&A] JoeSchmoe007:
Are you sure this is correct? I was told in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50330230#post50330230 (see post #12):

So the way I understand it one cannot downgrade from 4.4.2 to any other version because bootloader in 4.4.2 was changed and is not compatible with any previous release.
[Moto X Q&A] eksasol:
If you haven't already unlock the bootloader, then you should just send the phone back. Once you unlock the bootloader the warranty is voided and you'll be stuck with that phone. If you still intend on flashing:

You flash them using mfastboot while in flash mode, do not flash motoboot or gpt, also don't run "fastboot getvar". Manually perform these commands:

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase customize

mfastboot erase clogo

After flashing T-Mo 4.4, you can receive OTA update to get back to 4.4.2.

I've got the same problem.. I think there is something else you have to install from xda neo ext rom.. I've tried installing everything though, it didn't fix the problem.

It just wouldn't display the home zone icon..
