The trusted device feature works wonderfully with both the Pebble and the Galaxy Gear watches. Conversely, I've had nothing but trouble with the Stick-n-finds. They refuse to pair for me.
[Moto X General] 3UR0TR45H:
I second the Pebble. It's my favorite feature of the Pebble actually.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Clyde.D:
I'm on Cosmic CM ROM with F2FS file system on my phone. Phone is working smooth but just that I had backed up my data with KIES which I cannot connect to after installing the ROM.

Phone connects properly to the PC but not to KIES. I tried the KIES troubleshooting connection but didnt work either.

Please help. Thanks
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] freakynexx:
I think it is impossible to connect with kies with custom roms it only supports stock roms :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Clyde.D:
Tragedy on my side then. I searched over the net for this and got the same answer that KIES doesn't recognize Custom ROMs. So, I have lost my backed up data then:(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] doctor_droid:
Only option is revert back to stock..restore data... Backup data in a much more restorable form :p ...

U didnt lost ur backed up data ;) u cant just restore it...

Btw what is the extesion of backed up file in kies? :/
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Clyde.D:
I know that I haven't lost the data as it still resides on my PC. The extensions of the files are as below:

Configuration.bk

applications files are with .apk so i wonder if it will install the fresh app :confused: from playstore and not in the actual state when I had taken the backup.

One good thing about the backup is that music files are in .mp3 and photos are in .png or .jpeg :D which is cool.

So, just cannot restore the apps then and the SMemo files:(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shanbhagatul:
you could have used titanium backup you know
[RAZR HD General] jewbydoo:
I've been finding a bunch of posts regarding when the Razr HD will be getting KitKat. We have been waiting a while, so I figured I'd make a tracking thread so everyone can know when KitKat is finally released.

The last piece of information we have really gotten came from David Schuster, senior director at Motorola Mobility in Illinois.

This post alone sparked a great many Android articles... Needlessly so, IMO

One G+ post fed:

Android Central

Into Mobile

Softpedia

Phone Arena

DroidLife

Seems I'm not the only one starving for some news.
[RAZR HD General] Mr Endiadi:
me too I'd like to know when we'll receive kitkat...a question, i'm from Italy but i purchased my razr hd in Uk.

My version is 98.21.22003.xt925.CEE-Retail.en.EU..Will I receive the upgrade as well or the release is only for Verizon users?
[RAZR HD General] ATTACK:
David Schuster did say a couple of days ago that the "M and HD are in Verizon labs currently﻿". And that "Labs" can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.

It's in the same Google+ post linked in the OP. It's toward the bottom of the comments.
[RAZR HD General] legend221:
Here is the official Motorola website to confirm this status: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...iTGN6bVFKQ2wiLCJzZXNzaW9uSUQiOiJMY3ptUUpDbCJ9

sent from my xt926 Droid RAZR HD flashed with Nexesque v3.6 - Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2510965
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
It still isn't clear weather a completed version is in their labs for testing and approval OR Moto's version was submitted to them for them to add bloat, test, fix, test, add more bloat, test, etc. I think once Verizon puts out a soak with their junk on it, then we may be getting truly close.

* This is only my interpretation on how this process is working and may be wrong.
[RAZR HD General] ATTACK:

Typically "labs" is the end of the line, unless there's a problem with the Software / Hardware on Verizon's Network.
[RAZR HD General] zachariahpope:
Definitely coming this month.View attachment 2722159
[RAZR HD General] jldr:
Haha you can tell by his tone that he's like "Seriously, get off my back about it.'
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
You and Dave buds or what?
[RAZR HD General] zachariahpope:
Haha something like that!... lets just say im responsible for his "few more weeks" post!
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
Guess he remains vague with his buds as well lol
[RAZR HD General] jewbydoo:
So it's been YOU holding this update back.
[RAZR HD General] zachariahpope:
Lol nah Im not the reason blame Verizon.. lolol but really, no David and I aren't tight buds I just known him from Motorola & Google + a lil longer than most.
[RAZR HD General] bylithium:
should ask him about the atrix hd (:
[RAZR HD General] zachariahpope:
Okay. I'll ask him tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.
[RAZR HD General] Fr3d_:
Update announcemement?

MAYBE this is NOT related, but Motorola have scheduled an event on 13th may, the update may be announced then...

It's just a guess.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/30/motorola-will-announce-its-next-phone-at-a-london-press-event-on-may-13th/
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Sounds more hardware than software related. I doubt they'd hold an event (or waste time at one) to announce a software update for phones released back in '12. They didn't for the newer, more relevant phones, and with no other company calling an event to announce "we've released KK for you on XYZ phone" it would come off as very pompous.

...am curious to see what their next model phone is though...
[RAZR HD General] TheForceUnleashed:
So possibly the firmware will be released before the new phone comes out?
[RAZR HD General] jldr:
Everything is speculative with no real concrete evidence to back anything up. We know that it's likely to come out this month, but even that is not 100% certain.
[RAZR HD General] Fr3d_:
I was thinking that they could announce the update with their new phone. With a big MAYBE. :fingers-crossed:
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Glad you added that.
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
So you didn't try the other method for getting root? =\
[RAZR HD General] palmbeach05:
Awesome news! Flashable zip possible now that we have a recovery?
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
The methods to root required me to go back to earlier versions. Sorry man
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
Np. Thx anyway.
[RAZR HD General] hachamacha:
Cool ;) I knew Dhacker was OK: If it was just a case of building latest 6.0.4.8 CWM for XT926, then the Philz Touch "might" also work since my last build is based on CWM 6.0.4.8 and CM11. Is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2686374. See instructions in OP.

If you can flash it and it works, then just try rooting from it. (It's an option during any of the reboots, like reboot back to recovery, it'll ask you if you want to install SuperSU).

Good luck and many thanks to dhacker and scoobaspeaz.
[RAZR HD General] scoobaspeaz:
Yea I will remove personal data from the phone after while and make a flashable nandroid restore then post it. Won't be for a few hours though.

Only downside I want to point out is you will miss out on the newer bootloader from 5-1-2014. Not sure if its required or not but it wouldnt be included in a nandroid restore.
[RAZR HD General] Darbness:
Thanks, I can't wait to start playing around with it on my xt925.

As for the boot loader... I wonder if 926 boot loaders would work on 925?

Worth a try anyway.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Seeding! :)
[RAZR HD General] TXKSSnapper:
I'm considering updating to try it out, but I don't want to lose the option to use CM.

Is there any reason that this update could break current roms for unlocked users? the only changes I can think of that aren't overwritten by a rom are the radio and the bootloader, so I wouldn't think so.
[RAZR HD General] dhacker29:
A nandroid won't get your 925 on kk. You need updated bootloader modem and other firmware
[RAZR HD General] huatz84:
I'm on 9.30.1 and locked bootloader. Hopefully there's another one for 9.30.1 version.
[RAZR HD General] dhacker29:
I am 99% sure this will not boot on the old bootloader as it does not support dt.img (device tree) in the boot.img.
[RAZR HD General] Darbness:
Cheers for letting me know.

Is there a difference between 295 and 296 bootloaders?
[RAZR HD General] danetbra63:
clarification:

So can i just get [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] 's CWM recovery and sideload the .zip file?
[RAZR HD General] TXKSSnapper:
No, the zip will only install from stock. The recovery is meant for those who are unlocked and already flashed this zip.
[RAZR HD General] danetbra63:
[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] just replied me on twitter with the same answer lol
[RAZR HD General] sunkim50:
Anyone have any IMG file of the stock recovery? Is there such a thing?
[RAZR HD General] Mr-Glass:
You can grab it out of the SBF - I don't have it with me..
[RAZR HD General] danetbra63:
To be Honest, i don't see any real purpose in going through the effort to get this soak test because my device has been running just fine on the CM11 nightlies.. until i hear about the kernel i'll stick with what i got.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!:cool:
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
I'm staying on CM also, but I am helping out where I can. Personally I can't wait for Moto to release the kernel source so we can improve CM, even though I'm sure the binary blobs coming with this update are going to help as well.
[RAZR HD General] TXKSSnapper:
Just looked at the screenshots from earlier in the thread. Looks like Motorola updated the kernel to 3.4. That should help all the roms once the source drops.
[RAZR HD General] danetbra63:
someone will pick apart the pieces soon enough:good:
[RAZR HD General] RCOO:
Can anyone confirm this?
[RAZR HD General] noSpace:
I've been trying for a while but I'm having an issue where when I start the update it gets to "verifying package" or something like that then i get "installation aborted." I'm not really sure what to do, anyone have any ideas?
[RAZR HD General] TecknoFreak:
The answer is quoted here on my post below from scoobaspeaz

Lmao i couldn't say it better. Lol

To me all the team razr and each of their members like dhacker, hashcode and epinter are the reason of what we have and more as yes they are working im sure to get thir hands on kernel to update the one from cm.
[RAZR HD General] a8365523:
=。=

Really ? But I want to try , can you extract the new kernel and share with me？ thank ~~
[RAZR HD General] boomertwo:
Sorry If I sound impatient but has anyone captured the Blur_Version9.30.1.XT926.VERIZON.EN.US.ZIP update file yet and leaked it?

Really looking forward to having kitkat on my XT926M (Droid Razr Maxx HD) :)
[RAZR HD General] zachariahpope:
The only way people can flash this on 9.30.1 is with some build prop hacks and the kernel from 9.18.94. I've done the first part and tricked the fingerprinting verification on version number that was easy... the hard part is the boot verification that follows. Anyone got a 9.18.94 kernel laying around?
[RAZR HD General] harryyuan:
i have upgrated the stock kk4.4.2

just see the pics i sent. pls be aware that u need to reflash the stock rom to 9.16.6, then run the OTA twice，until u can see the version become 9.18.94.the upgrate will take 15-20 minus.

u can see that the UI is quite similiar with the old stock rom.the notification bar and softkey bar wont be transparency in the stock Launcher,but the custom launcher could be.
[RAZR HD General] kriskz:
Pls anyone upload a video about the agility of system or a antutu pic.
[RAZR HD General] Saqib Nazm:
Thread cleaned up a bit, Do not post something which can mean "personal attack" in anyway. Have respect for everyone. Don't post something in a demanding way as we all work here in our leisure time. Thanks :good:
[RAZR HD General] idless:
Any reports on the fluidity of the new ROM? I assume all are interested in this.
[RAZR HD General] jldr:
Curious to know if they gave us any of the current gen features; moto assist, active display, etc?
[RAZR HD General] StefanGA:
Looks like the XT925 update is still pending :( or has any one of the lucky invitees gotten hold of it already?
[RAZR HD General] Darbness:
Moto said that it hasn't been accepted by the carriers Labs for testing yet.
[RAZR HD General] sxg75:
How about new Camera? Or is it still same as JB-Camera? How about performance and picture quality?
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
You were able to sbf from 9.30.1 to 9.16.6? I tried and it said it failed.
[RAZR HD General] ajent:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
Oh, ha, negative. Guess that's why.
[RAZR HD General] harryyuan:
yes that is what i did

pls seraching this title was posed in RAZR HD form"DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.3",for which could be ale to flash ur phone back to 9.16.6

hopes that it can help u .
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
Thanks but i'm just going to wait for the ota.
[RAZR HD General] harryyuan:
nothing has been changed

same as the JB camera.nothing changed,i thought.

Entire system UI also much similiar as the JB system,which were disappointed
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
Is it noticeably faster and more fluid?
[RAZR HD General] harryyuan:
nope

I dont think so. only a little bit after the art being run
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
i wouldnt hold my breath for large antutu score gains if any at all.

my g2 actually lost about 10k in antutu score going from 4.2 to 4.4, however, the speed and smoothness of the phone in general appears unchanged.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

the problem with art is, all apps do not support this yet. i believe all the apps still work (i could be wrong), there just not going to help your phone to be faster while not able to utilize art.
[RAZR HD General] hachamacha:
Faster?: Pretty subjective question: If you've been running CM11, then probably not much difference. I've using CM11 (4.4.2) for testing builds of recovery, so have pretty much switched from using 4.3 to 4.4.2 and the difference is kind of stellar in terms of smoothness, which likely translates to speed and feel, not necessarily benchmarks.

I also have installed and am running 4.4.2 (CM11) on my old Galaxy Nexus, which was never quick, but CM11 has made it amazingly more smooth and quick. I'm definitely a 4.4.2 fan. The Nexus , I don't think, had more than 500-750 megs of RAM.

-- off on another tangent -- (sorry)

Having picked up a Moto X DE on the Mom's day sale (~320 bucks), and prior to my first boot, updating it to 4.4.2 and CM11, I've just come into this big endless discussion about the realization that "You can't downgrade the OS version once on 4.4.2 or use RSD, etc, etc," (unless you can). I'm suspecting that it isn't so much a 4.4.2 thing as a general direction of Android OS(to lock it down even more than in the past couple years) and that the "soak test" build possibly is using the same boot-loader (in principal). Once you put a stock 4.4.2 on the xt926, I'm suspecting that mostly, people won't be able to retrench back to 4.3 or anything earlier than 4.4.2. From those of you that've installed the soak test, does that seem likely?

I realize that despite claims, that there are ways around everything, but shouldn't get into that here. I'm just interested if the "soak test" took that general direction of the "locking down of Android" regardless of device type.

Thanks.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Not completely true, in theory ART should make device faster because the Java bytecode is precompiled into machine language at the time of installation. In practice, installation really takes longer and depends of application, could be "faster" (you don't wish to arcade game really scroll faster), smoother, use less resources (no need for JIT before start)... But nothing, independently of runtime, can really helps if application is not optimized.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/the-art-of-android/
[RAZR HD General] skeevydude:
No. Just no. The current recoveries are based upon JB libs and a 3.0 kernel....it really shouldn't surprise anyone that they don't work just yet. This is sorta like apt-getting an updated Linux kernel and forgetting to update the Nvidia kernel module....

On a sidenote, for me and my Atrix HD....I'm just gonna preroot the leak and remove the asset lines that block installs....easy peasy. I'll post it along with a warning if it works, even if just partially working.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
what i said was fairly accurate, if the app can use art then yes you will use it and likely see improvement. those apps not optimized for art can not use it and will not see any benefit from art as they will still use dalvik, as stated in the article you quoted and basically what i said below.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Again, not completely true. Apps don't have a choice to use ART or not. Only one runtime could be used in the same time. Some apps will just not work with it because of incompatibility, not optimization. Also I was talking about optimization in general, not for any specific runtime.

How apps will work at the end depends of many things like code, runtime, libs, kernel, toolchain, hardware...
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
maybe you are right, im not an expert. i just assumed when the article said this "Dalvik will still be available as an alternative runtime virtual machine to keep compatibility with certain older applications." that dalvik and art could run at the same time. if you say they cant i guess i was not entirely correct in my assumptions.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Actually would be nice to be able to use Dalvik and ART in the same time. Or better not. Android is complex (messed) enough :D
[RAZR HD General] esposimi:
Hey guys, I'm fairly new here and am having problems trying to do the update. I have the file downloaded and on my SD card, but when I go to apply the update I get the attached message

My phone is completely stock, running 9.18.94. I just performed a factory reset 2 weeks ago.

Is there a step I am missing?
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Are you sure that you didn't mess with framework-ress.apk?
[RAZR HD General] esposimi:
I haven't touched any of the contents of the ZIP file, wouldn't even know how to mess with it. Thought it was maybe a bad download, but tried again with the torrent link and got the same results. Here's my phone's info screen. All developer options are off, I've never been rooted, and like said before I just did a factory reset on the phone 2 weeks ago.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
You may not have done anything explicitly, but if you're rooted one of your apps might have.

You can try replacing the file with the one from stock, or flash to stock altogether.

Keep up with CM nightly builds: http://www.cmxlog.com/11/moto_msm8960
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
I thought framework-ress.apk on your phone but if you didn't touch it or never root it... Don't mess with locked bootloader too much.

Anyway, I see that Moto updated radio from 17p to 21p. Does anyone tried to unlock or use it with other carriers except Verizon? I saw this question already but didn't see answer.
[RAZR HD General] greedj:
Link broken :(

Link is down already? :(
[RAZR HD General] esposimi:
That's the thing, I'm not rooted and never have been. 100% stock Motorola/Verizon
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Use the torrent. I've been seeding 5GB of it since last night :)

Go get some!
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
i have been trying to seed this since last night to help those who want it, but the file keeps turning red in u torrent and wont seed. never had this happen before :(
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Hmm, now that you mention it, it did for me too. Looks like a problem with the trackers. Maybe the torrent got deleted, but that would be odd imo.
[RAZR HD General] ofmb:
Right.. I've just updated the trackers on the

magnet file

with a more recent list.

And pls link to my post and don't copy & paste so that we don't get fragmentation on links :angel:

[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
the 3 trackers you have in the file all time out. the new link didnt fix the problem. possibly try adding some different trackers?
[RAZR HD General] ofmb:
I've added some more but it's way more than enough. Few of them worked for me even before adding the new trackers.

If you use DHT than it should always work regardless of tracker availability.
[RAZR HD General] ofmb:
It works fine for me. Enable & use DHT instead
[RAZR HD General] zsamson:

Has anyone tried to upgrade to kitkat and still able to use it on gsm network?
[RAZR HD General] megaghostgamer:
haha, I had posted that it works on 9.30.1 but that's on RAZR M, wonder why they named it like that on the RAZR HD?
[RAZR HD General] jewbydoo:
Hi guys, I have a confession to make.

I bricked my phone into an unbootable apparatus because I tried to flash KitKat through stock recovery. I've saved my Razr a billion times from bricks, but this one has really stuck.

Let me be a testament to what happens when you get too antsy for a long-awaited leak. Something about that 4.4 zip really skewered my phone something fierce.

I guess all I can do is keep in the loop if I manage to find a fix.

Praise the Lord David Schuster
