I figured it out... there was updater-script misspelled - I had 'updater-srcipt' instead of 'updater-script'. Very stupid mistake and my fault...

Btw - where can I find all cwm status codes with explanation? Because status codes only don't say anything if I don't know their meaning. For example, in my case message like "updater-srcipt not found" would be better. But usually cwm throws only status code errors without helpful error message.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.B.N.:
There is a thread on that forum,specially for cwm errors: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230733.

[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
It shouldn't, and I'm sure it probably won't this time, but many soak testers did brick on stock JB builds through the normal OTA last December (and, strangely, Verizon distributed to non-testers right away, so it affected quite a few people.)

i just wanna know if its gonna have the white status bar and the new dialer basicly.
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
I wish I knew how to update rooted 4.4 (kept form 4.2.2 by instruction on xda). I do not care too much about preserving root because I have bootloader unlocked now.
[Droid Ultra General] dxl880517:
You need to backup your apps and contacts, then flash back to factory image. Take the OTA, flash TWRP recovery, you will able to have root again.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
We will find out soon, but David Schuster of Motorola said the icons were white about a month ago on Google+. He didn't say anything about the dialer. When somebody asked if it would be 4.4.2 or 4.4.3he said don't worry,we've got you covered. Implying, I guess, that it is 4.4.3 or that any bugs fixed in 4.4.3 for the nexus are already fixed in the update.
[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
If you're referring to the dialer with search funtionality, I believe that is still exclusive to the Nexus 5 (natively, of course there's sideload options).

It's 4.4.2, 4.4.3 doesn't officially exist yet.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I don't necessarily think it doesn't exist yet but I don't think we will get anything other than 4.4.2
[Droid Ultra General] akellar:
It hasn't been released and isn't in AOSP. It doesn't exist. Clearly I'm not saying it won't but there's no chance we get something that hasn't been released yet.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:

[Droid Ultra General] tehcodeman:
Enable "Survival Mode" with SuperSu first. Then take update (or sideload).
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
I think it's ok. I kept root when I side loaded the update by selecting survival mode in supersu, but I am also unlocked. I would think that even with jcase's exploit, being that it was used to obtain access to root directory and install binaries, that you should be in the same position as me when it comes to installing the update. I would also think that if it were going to break root, that i would have lost root with the update. I'm just able to regain it by flashing twrp.

Like what was mentioned above, I would wait till someone like jcase or another developer says it's ok before you try it... Just to be on the safe side

Sent from my XT1080M "Developer Edition"
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
You need to have stock recovery loaded and system intact with no changes or the verify system step of the script will fail. Do this by modifying and FXZ to reflash everything but delete the erase user data command.

After that, flash the update in recovery. Reboot. Reflash TWRP have it install SuperSU. Done.

Radio is definitely worse after the update. Phone idle is devouring juice from all the switching. Soon Motorola's coders will be busy working on 4.4.3 for the X. This is going on swappa tonight.

OTA

I had just the opposite outcome. My phone has a more stable and fast 4g connection now than before the OTA. I didn't even realize how slow it had gotten before now. I definitely approve of the new radios.

It may seem crazy for such a small update, but my Maxx is a lot more snappy now. The lag from unlocking with Active Display is now gone as well.

I had my doubts previously, but David Schuster is getting mad respect from me for how he's handling this. Good man.
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
since i installed it i noticed that my LTE was far more stable, it still drops sometimes but no as frecuently as before, thats good.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
Since I first read David Schuster's G+ comment last month that said the same thing, and then another a week later that said that the 2012 droids KitKat update was coming in a couple of weeks, my theory has been that the mysterious "requirements" were that Verizon wanted the 2012 Droids updated to KitKat before providing the 4.4.2 update to the 2013 Droids. I'd bet that Motorola has been more than ready for weeks but had to wait for VZW to give the go-ahead. I don't think that Verizon is doing anything nefarious - they just wanted last year's Droids done first.

Next time I get a phone, somebody remind me not to buy a "Droid"...

What should I do about Xposed when taking OTAs? Uninsall or does it not matter?
[Droid Ultra General] reggie14:
I highly doubt that... David Schuster previously said the changing requirements were related to the radio.

If I had to guess, I would say they were most of the way through the 4.4.2 update when Verizon identified the Canada roaming issue. That became the immediate priority, forcing them to drop the work on 4.4.2 to get out the radio update out more quickly. Maybe we'll see an update to the Verizon Moto X next.

Now, Topsnake is going to know more than me, but I'm not sure the radio in this update exactly matches the radio in the Moto X update. The fsg.mbn files don't match, which I think is part of the radio firmware.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
Verizon is rolling out their xlte network, which is the band 4 network they acquired not too long ago. Part of the radio update was supposed to enable band 4 on our phones. To me that would make sense why the radios don't match.

[Droid Ultra General] mikeluscher159:
We already got Band 4/AWS unlocked in the 4.4 update. I'm thinking that XLTE network thing is just advertising gimmickry for what they'be already done. Think Network Vision on Sprint....... Which I left......... For all this......
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I use house of moto. It runs the fxz with an option to keep data. For this update all I did was fxz save data then took the update. Once done I installed twrp re-rooted and enabled xposed. Since I didn't erase my data my phone was back to the way I had it. The only things you would need to install again would be stuff you changed in the system. Like fonts, boot logo and boot animation.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
Your guess is as good as mine, but they can do a radio upgrade while they are doing a full upgrade (which they've done with the other two OTAs so far.) Based on the screenshot of the the about phone in this thread, the baseband version on this matches the baseband on the Moto X on VZW with 4.4.2, so it's nothing newer than March. I've never seen David Schuster say anything about changing requirements having anything to do with the baseband myself, but I'll admit that I don't stalk him or anything.

Of course it really doesn't matter why. Reading between the lines on what he's posted, it sure seems like Motorola is as frustrated as we are about the state of things on these phones. He has also said on G+ that it generally takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks to get carrier approval once it hits Verizon's labs (though in "rare cases" in can be as short as 2 weeks), so I guess we're at least that far away from 4.4.2.
[Droid Ultra General] reggie14:
I have to say, I don't really understand the complexity of baseband-related firmware and software on the phone. Maybe some fw/sw components match, but others don't. To me, the fact that the fsg.mbn files don't match, and that the Moto X update didn't say anything about fixing a roaming issue, makes me think there might be some difference. If not in the baseband firmware itself, maybe in the code that runs on the the application processor that talks to the baseband.

A while back (a month or two) I asked David if the changing requirements were related to the radio, operating system or applications (I forget exactly how I worded it, but it was something like that). He replied that the new requirements were network related. A skeptic might say that any requirements from Verizon are requirements from the "network," but I think he understood what I was really asking. I really don't think David is trying to mislead anyone, so I feel fairly confident these are radio/baseband-related changes, as opposed to Verizon looking, for instance, to add customizations to Android or the app set.

Yeah, at least. I mean, we've already waited more than two months for this. If they decided to go through the trouble of getting this update certified by Verizon, they must be expecting a fairly significant delay to get the next update out. 4-8 weeks, I'm sad to say, seems optimistic.
[Droid Ultra General] chuck1026:
At this rate, I will have switched out to a Moto X+1 and sold my Maxx by then!

[Droid Ultra General] chuck1026:
I shared my displeasure... updating "antique Droids" before the newest release is infuriating to us 2013 Droid Maxx/Ultra/Mini owners!!!
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
To be fair, those phones waited 6 months for KitKat; our phones had it after 2 months (less for some who were updated in December). They've long-since deserved getting KitKat. And it would be incredibly stupid to upgrade those phones to 4.4 and then to 4.4.2 later if 4.4.2 is available now. If they waited for our phones to get 4.4.2 first, by the time that happened, 4.4.3 would be out and they'd be waiting for our phones to get that, etc.

Honestly, I don't care about 4.4.2 (with the exception of the share bug), but I'd really like the home button bug to be fixed and hopefully some Bluetooth improvements.
[Droid Ultra General] chuck1026:
Good point.

[Droid Ultra General] SupremeOverlord:
So I just have to figure out where I put the old one and move it? Then all should be well?
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Did you install the modified entitlement apk for tethering. If so that is why it failed. Just fxz 4.4 save data and take the update.
[Droid Ultra General] SupremeOverlord:
I just changed the .bak of those files to .apk and .opex and tried it again and it worked. Sorry for wasting your time.

Oh and those that are wondering, I kept root by doing it this way. I am super happy that it fixed the "OK Google" command. Just need to get that home button bug fixed.

Is it me, or did the GPS icon revert back to the old style?
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I noticed that as well. I'm sure it will be fixed once 4.4.2 is pushed.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
Exactly! Except for these few minute bugs all is well. I think the razr maxx hd deserved it first. Surely they need performance improvements more than we do.

Let's put things in a different perspective and fast forward to next year. There could be a significant update coming to the next line of 2014 droids. We would possibly need it on our 2013 droids more than the newer 2014 ones would. Makes sense to me.

Improved battery life on 19.6.3?

I updated to the 4.4 OTA Patch (19.6.3) a few days ago...and after 2 full days of running on it, I seem to be getting better battery life on this version than base 4.4 (19.5.3). While Android OS still remains the first/second consumer of battery, overall battery life seems markedly better. For example - today after roughly 5 hours of light usage I'm still at 92% battery, Just curious if anyone else on 19.6.3 has notified any improvement in battery life? No other major impacts for me other than the cleaner status bar icons...everything seems to be functioning as it did before. I'm on a rooted, unlocked Droid MAXX.

Okay, I guess I uninstalled some stock apks and didn't remember it, so I guess I'll have to FXZ the entire thing and hope for the best by saving data.

Just wanted to put this back out there. I am Unlocked and rooted with TWRP. My update was pushed OTA, not side loaded and I simply accepted update. It rebooted into TWRP and flashed smoothly with no loss of root.

Being that it flashed NOT through stock recovery, it would seem if your phone has the same set-up you could flash this update through TWRP manually and avoid an FXZ.
