Got this notification late this morning:
Anyone else get this update? And if installed, did you lose root and your unlocked bootloader?

You'll only lose root (well, you'll lose it because you'll have to flash back to stock since rooting modifies the system partition so the OTA won't take).
You will not lose your unlocked bootloader. It will still be unlocked and you will be able to root via TWRP or CWM by sideloading SuperSu or whatever SU tool you use to obtain root.
Figured as much. I'll just block it.

I only unlocked and rooted but I was still running the stock ROM. I just checked and I still have root from before the upgrade.

I tried to install but after it downloaded, it kept powering down. I would restart it then it came up for a minute and powered down again. It did this about three times. Then it went into a CWM recovery looking screen but all it gave as options were to install or not install an "untrusted .zip". I tried both ways and I got a failure to install the update both times.
The status of the update in the 'about' section says the update failed. If I l look for a .zip file under CWM recovery, I get...

I am happy with my rooted and unlocked Razr HD. No Bluetooth, wifi, or sound popping ailments that have affected some of you. I have done some flashing and am still somewhat of a noob to all this. My question is, can I block this update and how do you do that? I have tried to ignore it, but it comes back every 15 minutes trying to get me to update.

Sorry John, It appears we posted at the same moment :. I do have TiBu and do not see either of those apps(or any kinda similar). I do have a "ConfigUpdater 4.4.2-940549". Can this be frozen? Or should I keep digging a little deeper?

I'm pretty sure that you need to have stock recovery to install the OTA.

Actually, I was rooted without having ever replaced the recovery and he OTA worked for me. It even kept root!You are correct. OTA's cannot be installed via custom recoveries. Also, if you are rooted, then you must flash back to stock before doing the update, otherwise it won't work due to the system partition being modified by rooting, which then causes the OTA to fail the checksum verification which then prevents the OTA from installing.

I do believe that's our problem child... it's the only one that fits the profile that I could find. And after doing a search on ConfigUpdater 4.4.2 I came upon this:
Thank goodness I'm still sporting my grandfathered unlimited data (for the time being anyways). :

Freezing ConfigUpdater did nothing :. Again, I don't want to apply this new update. I am very happy with my 2 year old phone and I am just looking for a way to permanently ignore/deny the new update. I know there are ways to install it and sideload SU, re-root blah blah blah...too much work. LOL! I guess I was just hoping I could find a way to just make it go away. :
I also know some of you have installed it and kept root. I am afraid it will not happen for me because I have a custom Recovery(TWRP).
I also know it won't install because I am rooted, hence why I just want the damn Update splash screen to disappear! Thanks everybody!

How about "MotorolaOTA 1.0"? Can anybody tell me what freezing this file might do?

Froze that last night, and so far so good.
