Yeah, I decided to unroot to see if I can pick up the OTA. My wife got the OTA 2 days ago on her GS4 so I was kind of hoping that this might drop soon.

Here's the rdf page. Still no 4.4 shown....

Keep Calm and waiting for KitKat

If they are still talking 4.2.2 on February 8, 2014, we have a long wait until 4.4 . They usually have some test builds before they release a rom, and from what I can tell, they haven't even started on 4.4 for this device. NB8 is the latest as referenced in the above post.
N for 2014
B for Feb (2nd month)
8 for 8th day
I would say at the bare minimum, 3 months before 4.4 on this device.

I was all excited and junk, I had just finished odin'n to stock when i saw your post... still good changes, i hate the unstable internet connection message.

maybe this is to make the wifi stable enough for the kit kat update.

Anybody know where to get this update? Device is rooted so it won't do OTA.

Yeah thinking the same thing. Not sure the best way to get it.

So far the wifi does see more stable and I have not gotten any wifi errors. Also this might be a placebo effect but it does seem more stable and snappy.

anyone tried to re-root after update?

did kernel and baseband change too?

dose 4.4 release for htc one ?

I'm bone stock, not rooted. Took the update last night, and haven't noticed anything worth noting so far. I only seemed to have wifi problems when my router would get rebooted, then all would clear up after a few hours/overnight.
I wonder if there were some changes in there that were necessary for the 4.4 update?

If you do try be careful. The update includes Knox so if you root the wrong way it'll trip the Knox flag, which is currently a permanent thing at the moment.

I don't mind updating via OTA (I'm on BeastMod now), but what I don't want to do its lose root and have to restore all the data manually.

It was a notification for the update with an option to install or postpone; I'm going to postpone mine as long as I can....not sure what that update will do being that I'm rooted and on Juggernaut.
I'm sure one of the dev teams will take the OTA and roll it into a ROM so we can get the update and keep everything that we're used to.
I'm still on stock and yet to get update. sucks!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I got the update notification too and I'm also running Juggernaut 3.7.
I'm using the EagleBlood ROM and I received the update notification today. I'm postponing it as long as I can, but is there a way to just reject the update? It's annoying seeing the icon in my notification bar.
Can any of you just pull the link please? It would be a great help to many people. Everyone keeps posting about it and that is not helping anyone.

The update is already rooted and posted. Along with the new basebands.

Link for what? I'm not following you. Are you wanting the actual ota zip? If so, someone who has been notified of the update can use root explorer and go to /data/cache and grab the zip.

I guess someone else tried running this update and it just took them to CMW and didn't give them the update. I just froze "device manager" from TB so i don't have those annoying update arrows. I will wait for the new juggernaut when they update it. I'm in no rush

Did you update with Kies? I connected my T989D to Kies the other day to see if there would be any issues to prepare for in anticipation of official 4.1. When I tried to update (I know the update didn't exist yet), Kies said that the device could not be initialized. When I had done this before installing TWRP and rooting, I didn't get the error message.
I'm on stock 4.0.4 from Koodo and using the newest version of Kies (2.5.something??). The Kies backup and syncing options seemed to be fine.
I have assumed that I will have to go back to unrooted with stock recovery to get the update via Kies.

Not going to make a new thread for this easy Q so ill ask here (its on topic).
Today I connected to Kies and saw there is an update for my ICS. This would be the 3rd update, and I noticed after under Kernel, it has an unusually long name with "SMP Preemenpt Mon Jan 14" in the name, What is this last update all about?
Its an update to ics. Nothing spectacular but it has some security fixes and vlingo "improvements".

Very cool. But my only concern is that if I go back to the stock ROM, And take the 4.4 OTA update,... I will lose my unlocked bootloader. Not sure. But if or when Kit-Kat comes to the RAZR M,.... I'll wait for a custom ROM version. Thanks for great news and the heads up.

I wouldn't worry. When Dan cracked the boot loader he made it crystal clear that it is physically impossible to relock due to the nature of the qfuse. So they may break other things like root ... But they can't relock your boot loader.
At the beginning of the link they say they will tell you when the update will happen but that information isn't given in the razr m section. Am I missing something?

Yeah, that's my assumption too. I believe it will be this month anyway, but I'm going to hold off downloading initially; I reckon that as with the update from 4.2 to 4.3 re Knox, anyone on Knoxless 4.3 roms is going to have issues gong to 4.4

Just flash a custom ROM. They have knox removed. Or are you trying to get official without root? You may be able to create a custom tar file without the boot loader. I've never tried it so I wouldn't know first hand but that's what I'd start with.
