kitkat leak http://crackflasher.com/blur_versio...zip-motorola-droid-razr-hd-cdma-livinginkaos/
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
According the name "Blur_Version.9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip" it's only for XT926 ;)
[RAZR HD General] jldr:
Interesting... I'm definitely going to wait until that's tested and can be rooted before trying anything at this point.
[RAZR HD General] huatz84:
I'm using the latest JB (9.30.1) and the kitkat leak can't be installed over it. I think I should go back to 9.18.94. Haven't found any links to download the firmware. I don't mind being stuck on no root if I flash kitkat. I just wanna feel the official kitkat ROM on my Maxx HD. :)
[RAZR HD General] abuttino:
My only question is.. Does Google Wallet work for Tap and pay? I am kinda sick and tired of all the bugs in CM11 and would change to this in a heart beat if tnp worked
[RAZR HD General] vjaamm:
Did they make any changes to the stock launcher? I have the M. I'm assuming whatever changes are on the HD and Maxx will be similar for the M
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
I read somewhere a long time ago that the launcher is typically not changed, so I wouldn't assume it is.
[RAZR HD General] billycar11:
i also can not flash this it says something about release keys so maybe only people who registered can install this update? here is a picture
[RAZR HD General] ---UFO---:
You have 9.30.1 rom installed, but you need 9.18.94 to apply this OTA.

BTW: does anyone have build.prop and boot.img from 9.18.94? Thanks.
[RAZR HD General] MKAMWE:
Google Wallet works.
[RAZR HD General] abuttino:
Does it work with tap and pay at a store?

See? You're not that old :)

Question: I've read that in order to apply this update to your phone, you must be 100% stock. I have a locked bootloader, and I a simple plebian out of luck on this one?

Must one wait for the official Verizon OTA?
[RAZR HD General] abuttino:
We still aren't sure about the locked/unlocked bootloader but 100% positive that you need to be on the 9.18.94 for this to upgrade. So, a lot of people are scrambling around trying to find this

Anyone tried to create a ROM based off of this OTA yet?
[RAZR HD General] noahsobd:
It just came out people... Lol
[RAZR HD General] palmbeach05:
Lol i know, but as a A4G user, when we had the ICS leak, we scrambled and got that out both OTA, fastboot, and CWM flashable fast. Might be a tad bit early to be asking for what I asked, but still hoping :)
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
Ok i have mine unlocked and was on 9.30.1 here is my plight to get it updated to 4.4.2 might be tl/dr worthy but I think it's worth a read:

Starting off the update does not like 9.30.1. You HAVE to be at 9.18.94 BEFORE updating or it will fail.

So I thought...I will go to sbf.droid-developers and get the 9.18.94 update...flash it with RSD lite...update to 4.4.2 and life would be good. NOPE...well its good now but was a bumpy ride.

1. There is no 9.18.94 update on SBF site. You MUST use the 9.16.6 update package (not sure if the 9.16.9 will put you on the same upgrade path).

2. Tried RSD lite to 9.16.6 from 9.30.1..it failed because of an unknown fastboot command. I edited the file and removed get vars command it was failing on. Then it complained about tz partition file couldn't be downgraded. GPT partition could not be downgraded either.

3. Decided to manually fastboot flash each file expecting gpt and tz to fail. The expected failed but the rest flashed fine.

4. Rebooted into android and I had 9.16.6 installed.

5. Knowing I still need 9.18.94 for it to work..I went to system update and got a newer build.

6. That system update went through but upon reboot and once in the OS i was told my update failed. However I was on a newer version of Android but not still yet on the required 9.18.94

7. Ran update system update again and got yet another update but not 9.18.94.

8 Rebooted and installed it

9. Update again says it failed once in the OS but 9.18.x (do not remember exact version) was installed.

10. Still not on the required 9.18.94 I ran system update again. Finally the 9.18.94 build was there and wanted me to download it.

11. Updated to 9.18.94....upon reboot it upgraded android then upon rebooting into the OS it said it failed. However I was on 9.18.94.

12 Being on the proper build I rebooted into recovery and selected the newly downloaded 4.4.2 file found here.

13. Started updating and rebooted back to the recovery. It had the new recovery but had a little Android with a red exclamation mark.

14. Entered recovery again and selected the 4.4.2 file again and updated.

15. This started updating...said phase 1 probably completed...starting phase 2

16. It finished the update and I am now on Android 4.4.2

I am STILL UNLOCKED as validated from my bootloader. The good news is though the voided warranty boot logo has been removed and now replaced with a standard red moto batwing logo with dual core technology written below it.

I think all the failures previously was because the gpt and tz partitions could not be updated due to security downgrading. Android 4.4.2 update has newer files of course so it allowed the upgrade and did not complain about failing.

I will make another post with my laymen's point of view of the update.

AP Fastboot Flash Mode says a new version and date:

10.9B 2014-5-01 19:30:52)

As of this moment, at least for me, i cannot get a custom recovery to load.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Yes, please finally someone say something about update, which kernel is, how it works, looks, give us some screenshoots, etc.
[RAZR HD General] kabaldan:
Please upload 4.4.2 system dump/nandroid, thanks.
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
My experiance with this new update is mixed. The lockscreen has been updated...we now have tap and pay..phone dialer was changed from the motorola bastardized version but it was replaced with the JB stock version. However you now have a green phone icon instead of that moto square crappy one. The white KitKat style icons are there in the notification bar...the OS says its 4.4.2 but you do not have the KK dialer. The OS seems snappier on this phone than the older JB one was.

Its still using Blur from what I can tell regarding the launcher and app drawer. You still have smart actions (better than Moto Assist currently)...you still have the rings widget. Camera icon in the drawer is still the older icon and not the newer Moto provided KK camera in the Play Store.

I have a Moto X and was hoping this Razr HD 4.4.2 update would put it more in line with the KK build look on that phone. At least though it is Android 4.4.2 :)

I notice now though that the phone interfaces great with Linux.
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
Can you try to get root with the method for locked bootloaders?
[RAZR HD General] BinarySauce:
Wait what? Just for sideloading right? I'm on 9.30.1 and I'm 100% stock no root, not unlocked, no custom ROM...

Also does anyone know generally how long until an update is pushed after a soak test?
[RAZR HD General] sunkim50:
thanks for the screenshots and review. which recovery did you use? i tried with TWRP and failed. does this need CMW?
[RAZR HD General] MKAMWE:
For those wanting a notification like the Moto X, I've found that AcDisplay works really well with the software.
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
I can try that later...right now im going to flash CWM and get that nandroid system dump that was requested.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Has to be stock recovery to do this.
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
Thanks ;) If you could try that I'd be thankful. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602592

If I'm locked I can't install this update at all? Not even if I have 9.18.94 installed?
[RAZR HD General] MKAMWE:
Also, there are 2 version numbers of the software. 182.46.10 and 183.46.10. I'm guessing the 183.46.10 is for those who were on 9.30.1 and it just hasn't been posted yet.
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
Well I cannot get the phone to boot into CWM or TWRP if i flash the recovery. It will boot into its stock recovery just fine. Maybe they changed something that CWM and TWRP needs to update on their end to work now with this phone.

Right now I cant get you a nandroid dump :/
[RAZR HD General] open1your1eyes0:
Have you tried Safestrap after rooting?

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/vanquish/safestrap
[RAZR HD General] sunkim50:
does this mean you're stuck on stock recovery? i assume you don't have root access? i was gonna suggest flashify if you did have root.
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
I am unlocked..I have never used safestrap on this or had to root it using any OS level exploit. However without a working custom recovery I might try later to see lol

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Nope no root on my phone right now. I am unlocked so I never really worried about root. However with the custom recoveries not working for me right now I am stuck without root and without a custom recovery to flash superuser to obtain root.

[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] has a TWRP version up he created. I messaged him on twitter as an FYI about this. Maybe he can figure it out or maybe he doesnt care. Guy is pretty busy with 324343 devices :)
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
I don't know what happened with my update, but it got stuck on the "M" logo screen and now won't boot. It will go into recovery with an "!" on the Android guy, and that's it. I can get it into fastboot, but RSD Lite won't recognize the phone. Can anyone point me to where to get some good info on flashing with RSD. Can i flash the .zip with RSD, or do i need to use an SBF? Where do i get an SBF?
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
Cant flash the update zip file with anything other than the stock recovery.

For the SBF files look here. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
Thanks! Any idea how to get RSD to recognize the phone. I installed the moto drivers and the ADB shows up in device manager, but nothing. I donwloaded RSD drivers but i dont know what to do with the .pnf files.
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
I have seen this side of him too. However I have come to understand why he does that. CM as a whole is not maintained by him as only just the devices are that are assigned to him. He works for free on this stuff and has many devices he maintains.

A lot of the stuff that gets posted to him is in regards to CM itself and not really the device having an issue. The CM stuff gets worked out over time and if you are using a nightly then you should expect broken stuff. Device specific stuff though, if you can provide proof, he does look at and does care about.

I said he might not care about TWRP on the XT926 because of all the other things he is working on and he isn't using the 4.4.2 stock update...not using the new bootloader etc..He might not have any real way to test it or work on it if he wanted to right now.

I do appreciate his work and the effort he puts into it. He must do it out of love for doing it because he sure isn't getting anything else rewarding out of it :)
[RAZR HD General] open1your1eyes0:
My guess is this is because it is trying to verify or flash over it's own stock recovery on top of the custom one which is obviously not allowing.

Perhaps we can edit the update.zip script to remove that line of the stock recovery flash and repackage it?
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
You are at the fastboot menu right? The menu that says rather you are locked or unlocked? When you ran RSD lite did you run it as an administrator? Sometimes that helps to find the device.

As for the device drivers I installed pda net and used its drivers: http://pdanet.co/a/
[RAZR HD General] palmbeach05:
That could be an option. I'm an AHD user and we renamed that recovery script after updating to 4.1.1 to be a bak file, then flashed CWM with no issues. Same thing here maybe?
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
I got it to flash the 9.30.1 sbf. Is there a way to install kitkat over this version yet?
[RAZR HD General] noahsobd:
So it begins........
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
I had the same problem with the red ! in recovery, but i could not get the menu to show. Ended up having to flash 9.30.1 to get the phone to boot. We will just have to wait for the verizon ota?
[RAZR HD General] jewbydoo:
As soon as someone can:

1. Please seed the update.

2. Please explain the requirements/steps to flash this. RSDLite?

3. Screens are always awesome :)
[RAZR HD General] TecknoFreak:
It was you that brought that conversation wasn't it? Lol
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
4. Search this thread. I did this already :)
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Just ignore ungrateful and rude people.
[RAZR HD General] jewbydoo:
You're unlocked. Does that matter? How do we flash this if we're on locked bootloaders?
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
So basically we have to flash the 9.16.9 sbf then get the 9.18.94 ota, THEN flash the leaked kk zip? I was on 9.18.94 and the leak didn't work for me. All we have to do is boot into recovery with the.zip on the SD card and select update from external storage, right?

And how did you get from the red ! back into recovery? I tried all the button combos to no avail.
[RAZR HD General] jtommyj:
So at this point dhacker29 does this mean you're at least looking at this ? From one of the many peeps that appreciates what you, Dan Rosen , and Hashcode among others have done to allow us to get the most out of this phone.

Thanks man.

[RAZR HD General] ajent:
When I saw the red ! symbol, I held volume down, and pressed volume up button, and it took me to stock recovery. I am BL locked though, and when rooted I uninstalled system apps that the leak checks for before installing, so now i'm trying to do a full restore lol
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
I tried that, but i was never rooted. What are you doing a restore for?
[RAZR HD General] dhacker29:
So stay on stock. The RAZR HD had been rock solid for me for months as my daily driver on CM-11. And it was cm in generals need to unify devices. They could no longer complete all builds in a 24 hour period. Exactly what issue did you experience from unified builds? And to be honest I don't even remember you, so if I ignored you or was rude, my bad. I apologize.

Honestly though, who was doing fine for this phone, before I got aosp/cm device trees and kernel for it along with epinter and hashcode?
[RAZR HD General] ajent:
Trying to get all the files back on the phone that I removed so I can install the KK leak. The update aborted right away when it saw that I was missing some amazon file.
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
I'm so darn tempted to install the update xD

But I can't live without root :x
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
Do you have 9.18.94 installed now?
[RAZR HD General] ajent:
I did, but I just used the RAZR HD Utility to restore and it put me on 9.30 so leak wont install again. lol

Oh well, guess i'll have to wait.
[RAZR HD General] progrockguy:
NEWBS STAY AWAY. Just wait for the official update.

If you're locked, do not attempt to downgrade with an fxz/sbf/rsd. You will brick due to the security version.

A workaround idea for a custom recovery:

After flashing in fastboot, you need to enter the recovery BEFORE booting into stock, otherwise it will be overwritten.

You can do so by holding all buttons before the boot logo, then selecting recovery. Do the nandroid, then flash su.

Now that you're rooted, rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to keep your recoveries for next time.

If a unified recovery doesn't work, try one for the 926 that supports kitkat. Good luck!

You don't know me from anyone, but I've asked you a few questions as a wannabe dev on your twitter and you replied nicely and quickly and on top of all that, you even told me the answer ! ;) Without the devs here, there'd be no here. (no XDA), so try to recall that mostly these guys are working jobs, doing this in their non-existent spare-time and people should try to be decent about that. They owe you nothing, but the reverse isn't true.

I'm off my soapbox: * listens to boos in the distance *..

About recovery: I did this a version of Philz Touch Recovery over here for the unified msm8960 and it is up to date so maybe rename it to update.zip and give it a try:

you used the wrong version of the utility. the 9.18/9.20 version is posted in my thread op.

however, if your bootloader is locked, you cant go back now unfortunately.

Indeed, I was very excited but now back to waiting. :(
[RAZR HD General] Darbness:
I cant wait untill someone gets a NANDROID backup of this system.

Then I'll be able to try to get it working on my XT925!
[RAZR HD General] noSpace:
Has anyone found out how those of us with locked bootloaders are supposed to go about this? Do we use RSD? I haven't used RSD before, but from what I understand don't you need the SBF file to flash, and we only have the .zip file? At least on my PC, it can't unzip the file. And when I try and put it into RSD I get a "get uncompress file size error" error.

I've been waiting on 4.4 for so long and just want to use it, but I think i'm missing something in the process of how to go about this.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Just sit right for maybe a day or two. If you're locked don't do anything that jeopardizes your phone. We'll get the instructions written up and vetted. Don't worry.

Also, no, you cannot rsd an OTA zip file. The firmware file rsd needs is a different file format. Please don't mess around with rsd if you don't know or aren't sure what you're doing.
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
I assume that for us locked bl's you just have to:

- reboot to stock recovery;

- choose to apply update.zip;

- select the previously copied zip file (from external/internal storage).

But I haven't tried this at all :s

This is probably completely wrong. I haven't tested yet. Would like to know if there is a way to keep root or regain root after update.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
If you're on the firmware that the OTA expects, then I agree. What I'm not sure however, is if the locked folks were able to apply this alternate firmware version that is floating out there from late last year.
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
I am on 9.18.94 and I have a locked bootloader... I can, supposedly, upgrade without any problems.

I still would like some feedback on any solution to preserve root or even if the old method to get root still works after the update (which I doubt it does).
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
My wife has SGS4 and her latest update killed root. There is a very convoluted way to get root back using safestrap, but I hate it. Plus, she won't let me touch her phone again lol.

My point is: root may be gone, and/or hard to get back.
