Flashed clean KK and applied towelroot before updating. Worked like a charm and retained root. Thanks guys.

I'm so disappointed they didn't fix the popping...

On 182. Trying to update to 183 so I can apply the soak FXZ.

Couldn't get it to work on my other computer. Wound up just running RSDLite and attempting to flash 182 that way. Looked like it worked. It rebooted my phone. Still on 182 but lost root.

Trying from scratch again on my other computer.

Installed Moto Drivers. installed RSDLite. Ran it. Selected sdl.exe, selected zip file and it just hangs after that. Grey box. 

 

 

EDIT

Think I got it.

I'm wondering if it is really worth it to upgrade to this? I am unlocked and running the stock rom, but want to go to a custom ROM as soon as the bugs get worked out. I really don't use bluetooth. I guess the real question is.... Are the custom KitKat ROMs going to need the new version of the bootloader that comes with the 183.46.14 OTA to fix the bugs?

what version are you using of RSD?

[7eregrine]

Still didn't work for me. Tried to Unzip the FXZ and got an error so wonder if my download was corrupt. Redownloaded. Trying again once my battery charges up a bit.

 

As for ver of RSDLite, I downloaded the one linked in this thread. 6.1.6.

 

In Awe: probably going to do the same thing but I am desperate to get the battery life and weaker WiFi issues fixed. I MUST try this patch.

This is what worked for me. Selecting the ZIP file caused RSDFlasher to hang. Unzip it and seelct the XML file in that folder and i worked perfectly.

Now to try this OTA.

It didn't hang.  You people have no patience while it extracts a GIANT freaking zip file.  LMAO

You need to provide a little spinning thingamajig to tell them

Now thats funny :

[7eregrine]

Don't call me "you people". Pretty sure my download was corrupt. As I said I couldnt unzip it.

Let it "hang" for 30 minutes before I posted specifically because I didn't want to be a YOU PEOPLE. LOL. That cannot be normal and if it is you should mention that.

I can't account for corrupt downloads.  There's really nothing at all I can do about that situation.  If you can't unzip it manually, my program isn't going to, either.  But if the zip file is correct, and again that's on you guys to ensure a proper file, then the program will unzip it and it will take a while.

 

I'm not quite sure if the word "PROTOTYPE" is understood properly.  It does not mean "COMPLETE PIECE OF WORK".  It means "it will do what it says it will but don't expect a finished product with all the little extras."  I'm not microsoft.  

[7eregrine]

Didn't blame you for the corrupt download.

Thank goodness for that.. Having to reboot in the middle of everything could be a problem.

That could be fun.

Download the adt bundle and go to sdk/platform-tools/

shift + right click to open a command prompt

make sure you're in fastboot

also make sure you have debugging enabled

^^^this

make sure the img is in the same directory, too. it shall flash and then you can reboot, but make sure you hold both volume buttons until you see recovery, go into it and then that should set it as default

 

I'd look into more into it though, lol. That's how I flashed CWM on my phone and it worked without an issue. That's with adb, I've never tried flashify so idk what that is OH, I forgot about that tool. Idk if other people have tried it

Any idea why I keep getting this message:

C:\Users\Dave>fastboot flash recovery TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img
error: cannot load 'TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img'

Copy the image file into the same folder and run it again.

[cbadave]

Copy the image file into the same folder and run it again.

I have it in the same folder... C:\Android-SDK\platform-tools

 

I finally figured it out! I had to right click on the TWRP file and go to properties, then I had to specify the program it opens with as fastboot instead of WinZip. Once I did that and tried again it worked perfectly and then I was able to flash SuperSU update which gave me back root. Thanks to everyone for your help!
