[RAZR HD General] zachariahpope:
For anyone that's not yet updated, this is my honest feedback thus far with KitKat. I used the "blur.version.9.30.1.xt926" file I posted a couple pages back as I was on 9.30.1 and knew enough to know the 9.18.94 update wasn't going to ever work

I really recommend you don't take the update... Not yet, at least. [TLBR--> too long, but read] Here's why:

-The OTA install was a struggle in itself. If you have SafeStrap installed like I do, you won't be able to update. The update process will fail under the system verification check due to the recovery-install.sh file as well as the modem-links.sh files. You can remove these of course but the update is still going to fail, as it seemed the recovery-install.sh file seems to respawn after a reboot.

So after looking at the contents of the recovery-install.sh file I realized that both SuperSU and safe strap played a role in keeping that file alive. The first thing I did was uninstall safe strap. The update still failed. Next, I deleted my SuperSU backup in Voodoo OTA keeper app thinking it too was causing the update to crash, but to avail. So then I was getting pissed off and said hey screw it I'll go no root so I uninstalled Voodoo and SuperSu [using SuperSU's clean up permanent root uninstall feature- the update still failed at the install-recovery.sh error in the system verification. You know at this point, I was ready to give up but I told myself hey you're willing to give up root, so why not RSD it back to 9.30.1 and see where that goes? So that's what I did. The RSD process was smooth as ever and afterwards I didn't even let my phone reboot all the way, I forced it straight into recovery [why go through setup menus and app updates when you're about to install a new OS, right?] Well here's where **** got weird and fast. The update went through its verification checks and to my surprise was getting farther than my past attempts [I'm telling you, it's secure, one trace of root and it's installation aborted.] So then the update verifies my aboot.img file, and says update will now attempt to flash new system recovery. So it does just that it says flashing aboot.img.. Success! And then bam, my phone shuts off. So you know I'm thinking like well God damn son, that was a quick 498MB update, what a nice surprise. Ha, then my phone boots up the red moto logo and sits there... And it sits for a good ten minutes cuz I'm thinking it's doing some kind of magic trick thinking it's gonna take its time on that first kit Kat boot. Man I left that phone on that screen for 30 minutes before I realized it wasn't gonna boot at all. I'm glad I'm not a total noob cause luckily I knew how to simulate a battery pull & get to the recovery menu, so there I go, and to my surprise it boots into the new recovery. So I push volume up and down at the same time to get to my recovery options like I've always done, and it doesn't work. I did this about about 25 times until finally my thumbs were too damn sore to continue fighting the war. So then I just started pushing ****. I found out motorola flipped the switch on us... Literally. It's volume up and power now, not vol up + vol down, who the f°©k knew? so once my menus back up I realize the update ain't going to pick itself back up manually, you know how it should in a user friendly manner. So I return to install update from SD card and install the OTA. It begins to verify the package (slitting my wrists at this point)... Then fails. No error, no log just Verifying update... Installation aborted. I do it 6 more f***ing times, same result. So I'm like damn well all I can get it to do is go into this nice new recovery, let's try some stuff. So I factory reset it. [Again, after factory resetting to 9.30.1 earlier and upgrading my aboot- recovery & whatnot. Low & behold that did the trick.. When I went to install the OTA for the lucky 7th time, it said "Verifying Update... Installing Update.... Phase 1 of system update is possibly complete. Beginning Phase 2 now... Wait. Let's back this ***** up. Phase 1 is " POSSIBLY" complete?! Wtf does that even mean?! At this point I started to roll a blunt even though its been over a year since I've smoked, So I was worried my update would be done by the time my blunt was. It wasn't though. Man by the time that thing booted up, I felt great. I thought the new dual core boot logo was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.. Just noticing the little things how the font looked great, pictures vibrant, the icons- blur less, kinda droid ultra themed-- except camera and gallery. But then I realized... My WiFi doesn't work at all. I toggle the switch on, it immediately switches itself off. Tried WiFi fixing apps and a factory reset. It's still borked. How can this have under gone so much testing but I have broken WiFi & all these installation problems? I see most people are commenting they love KitKat, but I can't be the only one plagued with these problems! Not only that. My battery drain is absolutely insane especially odd since it seems worse since I factory reset it. Its acting odd like it has battery holes... Dropped from 40% to 25% in a second ... 15% to 3 %... So much going on that's NEVER happened to me on jellybean... I just hope someone else out there is experiencing this too.
