Hi guys- I've been reading that Android ver.4.3 was relased last night via OTA but if we are rooted we cant get it. is there a way to upggrade install it while still being rooted? i current have TWRP ver. 2.5.0.0.
Thanks alot for your help.
Rgrds,
Robert1c
Even if it did, which I'm pretty sure it didn't, you wouldn't be able to receive it with unlocked bootloader.

I think OP already realized his mistake, he was just telling us which article he was referring to.
Man, if Sprint used the exact same hardware as the GSM Ones, I would be soooo happy.
Do ya think we're any closer to that? No that I'm going to stay with Sprint or anything hehe.
You can run android 4.3 by flashing CM 10.2. Been running it for a few days. Works great.

Sweet!
I wonder if it means they've rooted it, because they'd need to do that first?

no,
it means they got a developer edition of the phone, which is unsecure and with root by default.

It's an early developer edition of the phone. But I'm sure arcee will bring some good news soon

In that case... It's the firmware that shipped with the first release batch of the Motorola RAZR i. It is "branded" for the Great Britain region (thus the Retail.en.GB). It has an OTA update, maybe unofficial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814
I assume if it does not update OTA to JB
that I can without unlocking/rooting flash a later stock EU/UK friendly genuine Moto firmware?

That didn't quite make sense to me.
The current OTA we have is to a higher ICS version.
You can unlock the bootloader and flash whatever firmware you want with my home-made fastboots
There is an GB-update today for retail so no need to fastboot.
Is it Jelly Bean ?!?!?

Grrrr, my RAZR I seller is being a PITA, wont let me just come collect and pay
He wants me to pay 1st and he'll post. :silly:
he is only 15 miles down the road and says it would be "inconvenient" for me to just pay and collect
He has great feed back though, I don't see the issue.
pulled the trigger and paid
should have my Razr I tomorrow before 12
I have my Rarz I now
was asking for the update almost straight away
it is so nice to be using a android phone that is running a recent os that is not a battery hog

Hey guys, I just got my HTC One from Rogers:
I was going to flash one of the Roms in the android dev section but Im worried now that I will brick it and I might have a later version than the ones online.

Each carrier will have different versions to account for different bloat and some system options (tethering,...) But at large they should be the same

There are half a dozen or so of the typical Rogers apps (MyAccount, Ringback, etc.) but they are all uninstallable. That was the first thing I did was to uninstall those apps.

Ya, I was pleasantly surprised that all Rogers apps were uninstallable. Looks like Rogers is listening to their customers and letting us choose which of their apps we want.
I am wondering if anyone has or can make a nandroid backup of the stock Rogers ROM and post it? I missed making a backup
Thank you
Hello everyone,
I am posting here today on the topic of the Moto X OS Updater. I have the VZW Moto X Dev Ed running Rooted Kit Kat 4.4. I do not want the new update and it is asking me everyday if I would like to install. As I am not interested in doing so I would like to remove this. Is there a way to shut down the updater or maybe even remove the apk? If so what is it called or how do I do so?
Thanks in advance!

Well from what I read I can't go back to the post camera update if I take 4.4.2. This is important I am able to do what I want you know.

The main reason people want to get back to 4.2.2 is to root. with the DE you can root with any version because of the unlocked bootloader.

CartlandSmith said:
From what others are posting using the unofficial fxz, you can run the 4.4 system with the 4.4.2 bootloader and I would presume the 4.2.2 system, too although I don't see where anyone has specifically tried that. However, if you do run a lower version of the system than the bootloader and accidentally take the 4.4.2 OTA again, you will brick. So you would need to freeze the OTA app to avoid that.

That's because the base that you're currently on is a port from Verizon's 4.4.3 Kitkat update. They had more updates than we had. So for Sprint, we're currently still at 4.4.2. with a lower version #.
We won't move from that point til what is probably going to be the M7's final update for us, Lollipop 5.0.
Thanks!! :good:
