[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] 02inCN:
Thanks for your suggestion. I know that there will be an issue with the keyboard as the placement of some keys is different and I'm also aware that the registry can be modified to reflect this.

The Dopod 838 PRO WWE version has been released throughout Asia except China & Hong Kong. Perhaps Hong Kong has a whole bunch of 818 in stock that they want to get rid of.

I've been checking the Expansys site everyday, hoping to buy the Dopod 838 Pro WWE version but all they have is the CHT9000 version. This wait is really testing my patience.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chinadan:
DOPOD 838pro and WWE

Yes, I just bought a CHT 9000 (which already had English operating system installed) in Hong Kong.

I have upgraded the ROM with the most recent WWE from Dopod Asia - just follow the instructions for upgrading and it will work fine.

With a registry hack you can map the keyboard easily - that just leaves you with 2 problems:

- finding one in Hong Kong (PM me if you need to know where to find one)

- HTC quality/early adopter problems
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] rotaflex:
CHT9000 WWE

Can you still type Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) if you flash CHT9000 WWE?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aquanaut88:
CE-Star and Monster are two compatible choices.

Installed on English ROM both provide Simplified and Traditional Chinese display and support all major SIPs.

Maction confirmed for me that Monster Chinese does not support the hardward keyboard.

From Yak86, I found Mobem's CE-Star v2.8 DOES support the TyTN's built-in hardware keyboard. If you don't need handrwriting recognition, just get the standard edition... and they accept paypal ;-)

Hi guys.. I madre this post in order to track the KitKat upgrade.-

Here you can post any news about it.. Just like the XT926 post

:)

Edit:

THIS IS THE SOAK TEST FIRMWARE, THIS IS NOT THE FINAL RELEASE!

Edit 2:
[RAZR HD General] luisdev:
One day ago I went out this service for assistance when kikat xt925 for O2 (germany) they told me that no update is planned. as should be expected instead to retail but not seen on the market. it should be possible to flash the firmware on my kitkat O2 brand.
[RAZR HD General] m_torresagasti:
I'm waiting for the retail versión too.. I'm from argentina and i don't think that our providers upgrade our phones..

Ps: sorry for my english..
[RAZR HD General] Tuckycv:
Down in México here, also no expecting my carrier to upgrade to KS. I did read o a believe a did, about some carrier already on Labs for KitKat for XT925.hopecully is the case, otherwise this will be my last moto.Motorola doesn't seem to care much about user outside the US.
[RAZR HD General] m_torresagasti:
But the truth.. I think is that we are all waiting for a custom rom based on KK new kernel and drivers.. Not so much for the stock sbf.. Or at least that my idea :)
[RAZR HD General] peladoro:
In Canada rogers says that there will be an upgrade...
[RAZR HD General] TAbrantes:
At the end of the post in which he announces the XT926 update (sorry guys, can't add links yet), David Schuster says:

The timing varies on xt925 based on carrier and country. Generically the current timing is tracking to end of the Q2 to early Q3 for the 4.4.2 upgrades.﻿..

More time for us to wait :(
[RAZR HD General] daro.brussa:
Yes, we're all waiting for that. And indeed, no carrier here in Argentina would work on the update.

I'm not sure if the word has been spread here, but according to dhacker Motorola said they would release the code after all devices get the update, but I don't have a source for that.

But, I saw someone in their sourceforge saying that they will release the source in github "In a week or so", though. This was six days ago.

However, I can't verify if he is a legit motorola employee or not.

dhacker tweet,SourceForge thread, GitHub.
[RAZR HD General] palmbeach05:
Confirmed legit Motorola employee. He was a contact that krystianp and others over on the Atrix 4G used as a springboard to get assistance on the 3.1.10 kernel that they have for their 4.0 and up ROMs.
[RAZR HD General] daro.brussa:

I had too this email, with the link to private community for feedback... Sounds very good, as I'm from France and on stock 4.1.2 Retail CEE rom
[RAZR HD General] six37:
Same here ;D. Stock 4.1.2 CEE
[RAZR HD General] MickyMax:
Where did you registered for this test?
[RAZR HD General] six37:
At Motorola Owner's Forum. I have been registered for long time because I have always used Moto phones but this was the first time someone contacted me via this forum. First I received and completed Survey about Test drive for new software and now, almost a month after HERE IT COMES...

If you haven't completed survey I think you can't receive this invitation any more..
[RAZR HD General] idless:
I don't think it took more than days after the soak before all other verizon xt926 user also began to get the update. The wait must soon be over :)
[RAZR HD General] cotasa:

[RAZR HD General] TAbrantes:

I'm also part of the MFN, but I'm on O2 Germany rom, so I haven't received the email... :(
[RAZR HD General] six37:
I don't know if O2 is the reason fot not receiving survey and invitation but i know for a fact that retail roms did receive the email (mine is France CEE, 2 friends have DE Retail). You could try to flash Retail.DE and see what will happen...
[RAZR HD General] six37:
People, wait for the release! It will be worth waiting for... :) (SOAK TESTER)
[RAZR HD General] CoinCoin88:
Well this gets us back on track. Do you mean soak test is still going on ?

So far what we know is there was an initial release (OTA posted here a while ago), then a couple weeks (?) ago, a ~15mb incremental update that was supposed to address the SMS bug (along with other things probably??) but this update did not leak (yet). Has there been any more progress since then ?
[RAZR HD General] six37:
Yes ?
[RAZR HD General] Kenny_31:
Yes, the first 15mb patch corrected the SMS bug, the Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity change and another one I don't recall.

Another incremental update of 9mb was pushed last week, but no change notes was released yet (probably to patch the openSSL vulnerability )... We are now on build KDA20.110, build date June 24.

Moto's tech team is doing a very good job on gathering feedback from soak testers and providing them support; Just it takes some time for Moto's techs to look for the bugs we are experiencing.
[RAZR HD General] CoinCoin88:
Great news, so after all it's not a complete rollback/ with stopping soak test and "starting from scratch". Hope you did not break your NDA too much by telling us this :)
[RAZR HD General] sxg75:
Dunno if this is against NDA rules: was kernel version increasing during the latest patches?
[RAZR HD General] madmonkey57:
Those 2 patches (15mb and 9mb) haven't leaked, have they?
[RAZR HD General] Orphee:
Not leaked yet.
[RAZR HD General] madmonkey57:
It they had leaked, I would have probably tried stock KK, out of curiosity.

It's not a problem, I'm a CM person anyway.
[RAZR HD General] elektronAu:
Unfortunately this means very little for some, just because there's a soak test in one region.

We know that down here, in Australia, there's absolute silence on the KK update (apart from being told it will happen some day), both for the carrier and retail versions.

It's quite depressing really as does there need to be this secrecy? Chances are that by the time we get KK, it'll be time to upgrade the phone.
[RAZR HD General] six37:
The secrecy is one of things what we've agreed with Motorola team. Without it there will not be any update. Just be patient... Or upgrade to a new phone... But you have to admit that this is more exciting and tempting than buying a new phone [emoji6]
[RAZR HD General] elektronAu:
Sorry, I meant Motorola secrecy, I fully understand/agree that testers are bound by NDA and wouldn't expect anything else...

..but back on topic, anyone know anything about our Aussie stock ROMs for the xt925? :)
[RAZR HD General] CWGSM3VO:
Fair enough, it looks like (based on your details) that you'd be CEE region meaning you'd see it already (as did the French) -- has anyone outside of CEE seen the soak yet?
[RAZR HD General] six37:
Soak test is for CEE only but final release will be for everyone....
[RAZR HD General] guneeyoufix:
Hi there,

Any fresh news that you would be allowed to share with us?

[RAZR HD General] ukmotofan:
And the wait STILL GOES ON !!! I keep looking on here once a week and its so painfully slow grrrrr!!

Sorry just had to have a moan lol.:fingers-crossed:
[RAZR HD General] douglasvbarone:
Yeap... I'm waiting too. I use CM, as many here, and I need the new bootloader. I'm from Brazil, and no update here so far.
[RAZR HD General] alfredosaflo:
Lte

Hi!!

And what about LTE?

Can i Use LTE with this rom in Mexico city?
[RAZR HD General] GRIDSpawn:
nope lte doesen't work
[RAZR HD General] six37:
Ask and I'll try to give you satisfactory answer...
[RAZR HD General] guneeyoufix:
Hi Six37,

Well then, here are a few questions:

The threads I follow have been pretty silent for the past couple of weeks. Is the update still an ongoing thing?

In addition to the inital OTA, I have counted 2 incremental updates. Have new OTA updates been pushed to the soak testers recently, and if so, are there many remaining issues to be fixed before the final update is pushed to the rest of us?

I have the feeling that the current 4.1.2 ROM is quite slow compared to what I have seen on other phones with similar hardware running one of the 4.4 branch ROMs. What about responsiveness with Kitkat?

Is the possibility to switch to the ART engine included in the soak test, and if so, has there been any extensive testing of the engine?

As usual, feel free to answer these anyway you want, and is compatible with the NDA.

Thanks!
[RAZR HD General] thor124:
I don't know if you've been tracking the CM11 thread in the development forum, but epinter has been releasing JB bootloader CM11 nightlies. I installed the 07302014 one yesterday, and its nice and smooth. Haven't encountered any issues.
[RAZR HD General] goldfinsh:
I have a xt925 Rogers with unlocked bootloader. I flashed the CEE retail firmware on it and signed to my google account but no OTA update offered. When I manually check for update it returns "Device is up to date". Any hint?
[RAZR HD General] six37:
The update is still available only for soak test invites... Sorry but you'll have to wait for release...

[RAZR HD General] madmonkey57:
Well... I am already very happy with my JB BL powered CM11! :D (just kidding;))

That's great news for the whole community.

"Stock" people will be delighted.

"Non stock" people won't have to worry about JB/KK BL. Everyone will switch to KK BL (and the last remaining glitches will quickly get ironed out).
[RAZR HD General] CoinCoin88:
Has everyting finally been fixed ? Bluetooth and wifi mostly? My understanding from a thread on droidrzr was that even latest versions were still buggy... but people started to fear that new build was out of the question and release would happen without any more fixes.

edit: not so sure about the "very happy"... http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/49699-ota-442-1834614/page-7
[RAZR HD General] Orphee:
Be carefull, we are talking about XT925, on droidrzr it is XT926, it is not the same soak test at all...
[RAZR HD General] CoinCoin88:
Indeed, yet Kitkat for XT926 was officially released couple months ago if I'm not mistaken (?)

Or are they talking about some sort of "hotfix" to the originally released Kitkat that has already been pushed ??
[RAZR HD General] six37:
When I tell you that you'll be VERY happy then it means everything is alright... :)

XT926 KK is different story indeed...

:highfive:
[RAZR HD General] MickyMax:

[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
What are we waiting for, Christmas?

To be honest, I feel a lot like the Razr HD XT925 is an orphan, abandoned by Moto. It's pre-Google buyout. IMO, anything longer than 3 months after OS release is outrageous for a phone update. It's now been nearly 10 months since kitkat was released. I realize there's been problems with security in 4.4.2/3 but they are BUG FIXES essentially. Bottom line is, fall release phones are generally ignored for the next software release unless they are nexus models.

Also, the secrecy is crap. Saying in NOVEMBER the phone is getting an update to kitkat and then ... no official announcement for another 9 months?

I'm torn between waiting for the N6 or grabbing one of the currently available phones from a company that's pledged a 3 month OS update delay at most.
[RAZR HD General] gusbeto37:
Ever since I got my Moto X I have abandoned my XT925. But now I am going to give it a use as a dedicated media player (because I have a 64GB SD Card) and have had it with CM ever since October 2013.

But reading this thread gets me a little confused. If I flash the SBF for SFR France 4.1.2 will I be able to get an OTA to Kitkat? Should I use RSD and flash something else to get an OTA?

Saludos,

Gustavo

[RAZR HD General] Kinard:
I try not to be on the complaining side, but this is really frustrating. KitKat will be one year old shortly, is it really that hard to make an update for a phone?

Sometimes I wonder why did I decide to go with Motorola again after the Atrix, this almost feels like it all over again, I only hope they don't just abandon the update this time.
[RAZR HD General] aamd11:
Especially considering everyone on Verizon have had it for what, a couple months now? Really frustrating.
[RAZR HD General] MCP1:
David Schuster (today on G+)

Hey guys, wanted to give you an update on where we are on getting KitKat out on RAZR HD. Over the next couple of weeks we are going to start our soak testing globally. Hopefully all goes well and we can start the full push to everyone. This will be KitKat 4.4.2 with the key security patches from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.*﻿

[RAZR HD General] kabaldan:
My new old xt925 finally arrived yesterday, after travelling by post from France to Prague for unbelievable 21 days.

A few minutes ago, the final KitKat 4.4.2 OTA suddenly became available on it.

Blur_Version.98.21.22003.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.zip - https://mega.co.nz/#!e4p0TK7C!emnx_BEyHzowOQr-fKn0LWVF2j4WjIHcgooOBk_xCh0

Remember, this OTA can be installed only over a clean unmodified stock CEE 4.1.2 XT925 firmware, using stock recovery.
[RAZR HD General] JoseBerga:

Ps.: É nóis
[RAZR HD General] TBueno:
It's out in Brazil!

Imageshack is blocked by my workplaces's firewall, but I guess people are talking about the update being delivered in Brazil.

Got it this afternoon (retail), It's been fine so far. Version is the same as Kabaldan's, only Brazilian.

Will post details as soon as I get home, but I must warn that the abhorred crackling/popping noise folks reported on the Verizon update is present here as well...
[RAZR HD General] sxg75:
How can be confirmed that this is 'final'? Isn't it rather another soak version?
[RAZR HD General] kabaldan:
I've only got the device yesterday, so I was not able to take part in any MFN soak testing.

I've only used the standard "System updates" check function on my retail phone and in the evening, it suddenly said that an update is available.

So if it is a soak test, then it is the final public soak test to a limited number of users, that precedes the broad launch. And then it means that it's actually the final update, as it always was in the Motorola past as far as I remember (since the Droid/Milestone days).
[RAZR HD General] billycar11:
glad to have you on kkbl :D
[RAZR HD General] JoseBerga:
Nice!

Hope some Brazilian Friend share the OTA! :P
[RAZR HD General] Kinard:
This crackling problem, can anyone tell me when does it occur? Is it just on the earpiece or does it happen with earphones too?

I listen music on my cellphone daily, so that is important to know so I can decide to update or not.
[RAZR HD General] goldfinsh:
xt925 CEE retail Kitkat available OTA

Hi all,

I flashed CEE retail firmware on my Rogers xt925 and I have just received a notice to upgrade to 4.4.2 OTA. I am currently downloading.
[RAZR HD General] TBueno:
It's pretty bad

Kinard, I've just tested it to give you a better answer, and earphones are apparently immune to the crackling noise, fortunately. And the stupid "earphone connected" notification seems to be gone.

The buzzy crackling-popping is heard basically all the time. At lock and unlock, just before every notification, and sometimes randomly.

It's quite frustrating. I'd think twice before updating if I could go back. It ruins the whole experience for me, it feels like I'm handling some broken thing.
[RAZR HD General] niksy+:

I was happy yesterday when I received KK OTA on my Rogers xt925 but my wifi did not work after update. When I choose my network and click connect nothing happens even if I enter a wrong password. I had CEE retail 4.1.2 before upgrade. I did clear data/cache from recovery but this did not make an difference. I made the mistake of trying to reflash to 4.1.2 but it fails and now my RAZR boots by default to fastboot. I tried to fix the boot using fastboot oem fb_mode_clear but this did not make any difference.

I hope you can help.

Thanks
[RAZR HD General] six37:
I'll send you pm later...
[RAZR HD General] sdato001:
I upgraded to CEE 4.4.2 and working fine. Your phone will continue to boot to fastboot because of a failed flash, it had happened to me before. If factory reset does not works and because there are no KK firmwares yet to download and flash with RSD lite you may try this same method to downgrade to JB:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2085074

Hope it helps. This is a known issue with Moto phones, once you upgrade is hard to downgrade.
[RAZR HD General] TBueno:
Went all the way back
[RAZR HD General] shiny shoes:
I've been using the soak test, with the (If i'm correct) french ROM. What would you recommend me to do so I can get the final update? I have a backup of all my files so I prefer to flash a clean ROM.

Do I have to do anything special because of the soak test?
[RAZR HD General] xubeiga:
meh, my xt925 here in Brazil didnt get the update -_-

hope someone share the OTA :D

how much time for someone share it?
[RAZR HD General] douglasvbarone:
Same here...
[RAZR HD General] TBueno:
Early version?

Let's hope the update I got yesterday was some sort of early version or soak test ROM, because that crackling noise issue has been widely reported before. I'd say it's unlikely though, because there was no warning or feedback channel of any kind.

By the way, you guys who made the leap to CM11, what are you looking forward to in Moto's KK? HMDI out? Any major bug fix? The bootloader? Just curious here...
[RAZR HD General] Orphee:
My bluetooth and wifi are dead. Can't switch on...
[RAZR HD General] idless:
I was on the leaked XT925 KK kernel made available by Orphee. I reverted to CEE French 4.12 (XML edited first) . As soon as booted the KK update was available. Wifi + BT works fine here. Everything seems fine so far. Twrp and root also seems to work fine, flashed with ADB.

[RAZR HD General] kokinator02:
I was on JB Telcel, Mex. downgraded to ICS and when I read this thread, downloaded France CEE 4.1.2 from droid developers and the update to KK was already asking to be downloaded when first config completed. Of course, my bootloader is unlocked. KK runs pretty well and everything works. Cheers people!
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
did you root? I take it your first impression of kk is good on xt925.
[RAZR HD General] iceeyes91:
Quick question. Do you notice any significant loss in signal strength or Wifi range? Asking because the xt926 4.4.2 update had those and wanted to know if Motorola fixed it in the global update.

Best regards
[RAZR HD General] TBueno:
During my brief experience with it, I saw a significant drop in wifi range, at least as shown in the status bar. Can't tell if the actual strenght (in db) was lower, though.

Did not notice any difference in mobile reception.
[RAZR HD General] iceeyes91:
Ok, thank you for the quick reply. Using wifi analyzer I see a drop about 10-15 db which is quite a lot as I am pretty far away from my router. That's why I still stick with jb bootloader. Enough of topic, have fun with the update.
[RAZR HD General] kokinator02:
Well, that much I haven't check but, I'll perform some tests and I'll get back to you with results.
[RAZR HD General] hugodefcon:
This update is still a soak test right?
[RAZR HD General] idless:
It must be final. I did not participants in soak or anything yet available as soon as French CEE 4.12 was flashed.
