Regional based OTA upgrade. Have confusions. - Atrix 4G General

I have a confusion of regional OTA update.
on the Moto It depends on the location. But I don't understand how this location is examined. Is it examined by where I have bought it or where the set is placed..
In a nutshell, I have Atrix from USA but I live in Asia. It said Asia's upgrade is still planning phase but in USA it will be available in Q3.
So will I'd be able to receive the OTA from Asia?

That's what I was confusing about!

I don't recommend flashing the ota tho. Once it id available wait for a fruit cake or fast boot images. Don't run the risk of getting a bootloader locked or hard bricking.

But that's not really official. It hasn't shown up on my dad's phone when I check it for updates. That update is more than likely 3 branded as well, considering it has the H3G in the middle of it.
This rom will not be rootable since htc have upgraded the hboot. If you want root, stay on eclair

4.1.2 Jellybean seeding to Note2 now

I read on the internet that the Jellybean 4.1.2 update has started seeding. If you have already got the update please share your feedbacks and reviews about the new update. I havent got the update yet. So, it seems that the update hasnt started seeding in India.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
It has been seeding to Polish devices at the moment.
I'm on a German Unlocked DBT device and still nothing as of 15 minutes ago when I checked . haha.
it was only released in Poland.. all other countries and their carriers are on pending status.
And remember if you have a carrier branded device then you could be waiting even longer.
That's not true . 4.1.2 released in Poland is carrier branded.

Not sure which is best for updates. I unbranded mine from 3, but with all the root issues I'm staying stock btu until the new root methods are well established and tested. The updates will come to sim free phones soon enough.
AFAIK Netherlands or any others are fine to flash, I prefer to keep to btu myself.

Yep used to be. I heard that the carriers may have a deal with Samsung these days to get theirs first, maybe to encourage contract buying?
I guess the success of the Galaxy S range of phones has made carriers see that IPhones aren't the smartphone everyone wants now. Money is most likely the reason

Its suppose to have started on Tuesday last week but seems Vodafone UK has it.
So will this be the generic UK version? Should be nice to see a hopefully smoother 4.3 than what I'm currently using.

Maybe its stuck in traffic on the M25.
I think what they have actually confirmed is they have no idea what's going on and they are quite happy to ignore one of their biggest markets.....
I hope we get this by the end of Feb, because after that, their website will be lying.
Cant be much different to the Generic Austrailia firmware. Why is it taking so long !
Does anyone have a link to the Vodafone UK 266 FTF?
Its in a thread soemone started specifically about the vodafone UK version a few pages back now. Id not bother though unless you're rooting straight off, its better than the CE in my opinion but has some voda specific bloat and is still sluggish at times.
Ive decided to just try the Existenz rom which sounds like a nice tweaked version and pre-rooted to boot.
maybe some progress:
Well my number is there as getting it so I will check when I get home but not holding my breath.

Whilst it'd be nice to have a proper Generic UK one id still hold out for the next version in case it has some good fixes in.
Still nothing...

I've given up waiting, but my cust number supposedly has the update, ive flashed eXistenZ Ultra and everything works great, even got 4G on Three, couldn't get that on stock 4.1. I'm still on a locked bootloader so no warranty loss.

If you check the eXistenZ thread, there are instructions to install on locked bootloaders. I think only stock based ROMs can flashed on locked bootloader.

There really was only a very short window of time to unlock the bootloader. Unless you got an M after the update that was still on the original firmware. Almost right after Rosenberg published, Verizon sent out their exploit patch... I really wish Verizon would stop doing this stuff. It makes no sense.

Motorola just released kernel source code, i dont know but can this help?????
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
This will not likely help much unlocking the bootloader, but it is nice of them to do so promptly to allow the few devs who build ROMs to continue updating with the new kernel.
It will help with our custom ROMs...

KitKat troubles
I purchased two used Razr M's for use on Straight Talk. After using Radiocomm, the phones worked great. My wife updated to KitKat and lost her service. I used Radiocomm on hers and have it running again. I upgraded mine also and now we both screwed. Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service error pops up all the time. I watched mine screen come on like a reboot three times yesterday. Before I went to bed, I noticed that I had no service. A reboot and service came back. I sent two emails to Motorola and have no reply as of yet. KitKat runs great, but now I just may have to buy two more phones. I don't see any help coming and would advise people to stay away from these phone unless using on Verizon. I didn't know all the trouble a locked bootloader and not being able to root would cause. I read that it had been implied that Android slow release stages were to cause people to buy new phones for updates. So I guess the KitKat issues I'm facing are the same. Encourage me to buy before my wife skins me alive!
There is a fix for the Modem Fast Dormancy bug but it requires root in order to edit the build.prop and disable it.
Without root, it is possible there maybe a way to disable those functions by editing the NVM, but it will require some considerable work to isolate the NV Items and parameters responsible.
After editing the build.prop the phone performs pretty well under KK for GSM/WCDMA service.
I will try and take a look at the NV dumps and see what I can find. No promises.
