My device (XT926) was unlocked a while ago, and wasn't subject to the recent Towelroot goodness that many Razr HD owners came to enjoy a couple of weeks ago. As such, there was no need for me to flash back to VZW's KitKat stock firmware (which evidently also updates the bootloader to KK). My conundrum started with the most recent LS update that required an updated bootloader, and everyone's universal chant was "just update your bootloader". Fine. "Please tell me how to do it", was my reaction to that. Sorry, didn't mean to be a PITA, but I've learned from other people's misery that the slightest flashing fauxpas with these devices can lead to a brick.

Sorry didnt mean it that way....we havent really had many bricks especially with an unlocked bootloader

Dude you're definitely not being a pain in the rear end. My response was the only good way I knew to help you. I'm not the best person to ask. Lol

My device had an unlocked bootloader already, so I'm not sure how the Towelroot thread applies here. But thanks anyway. Another poster on the G+ already provided exactly what I'm looking for, and for those that are interested in updating their bootloaders to KK, you might want to take a look here:

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't find much on updating the bootloader from googling, so this helps big time.


Update: just wanted to give people the heads up that this worked. I downloaded the zip, edited the XML, put it thru rsd lite, and then had to fastboot the twrp IMG. Not too many problems.

I decided to go with kitstalk 4.4.4, but it still works like a charm.

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me what would be the best rom in terms of battery for our Maxxs? 'Cause I am trying right now the Kitstalk, it works very good but I'm dissatisfied with the battery, I can squeeze only ~1h for display and ~1h for calls by being in 3G mode for a period of 24h (I have always Mobile Data and Sync turned on)  By the way what are your stats for battery?

I have 24+H on my Razr M (2000mA battery) with 3-4H screentime an 1-1.5 H calls... But - 2G only network.

 

One question - have anybody issues with mic? I have the next - my subscriber can`t hear me  sometimes..

Still did you try any other roms did you see any differences?

[watson387]

I get really good battery life with Gummy. I get 15 hours or so in a really bad signal area.

I tried KitStalk and have the same issues with mic... and  worst battery life..

Finally running the 7-5 build on the 3.4 Kernel. Nice! But Bluetooth doesn't seem to recognize my Plantronics headset. :/ Anybody else experience this?

Thanks mate!

Any other experience regarding battery, anyone?

About mic issues - I found when it happens!!! 

It happens when you use speaker in conversation and then switch to mic.. And then subscriber can't hear you... I tested it..

If I don`t use speaker then everything is normal, but if I turn it on once it disable mic to next reboot... 

 

I posted about it to official G+ community.

No - if you can`t install 3.0 builds. You must downgrate for it.

 

P.S. 3.1. release is available for now!  (KK BL)

Having some app install issues on the Official 3.1....some of my games wont install, getting the Error couldnt install on USB storage or SD Card.

 

off to find a solution, unless someone has one already

 

EDIT: One very unperfect workaround is to dismount the external sdcard, install apps and remount sdcard.

 

Someone suggested a reformat of the sdcard in the phone, but havent tried that one yet.

Before I take the plunge and clean flash again, goes the moto msm8960 official 3.1 version fix the speakerphone bug where if during a call you initialize speakerphone, you can no longer use the handset mic until rebooted???

Anybody else having issues with their GPS? I just installed the LS--KK-v3.1-official with a 7/12/14 build date and tried to use google maps navigation today and continually lost the GPS. 

 

I started out on LS just a few days ago on one of the nightly builds. I liked it so much that when I seen the official build I updated right away. However, I never tried the GPS on the nightly build so I don't know if it was working then or not.

 

Just wondering if anyone else was experiencing difficulty locking on a GPS signal?

 

Thanks in advance!
