KitKat Tracking

I've been finding a bunch of posts regarding when the Razr HD will be getting KitKat. We have been waiting a while, so I figured I'd make a tracking thread so everyone can know when KitKat is finally released.
The last piece of information we have really gotten came from David Schuster, senior director at Motorola Mobility in Illinois.
This post alone sparked a great many Android articles... Needlessly so, IMO
One G+ post fed:
Android Central
Into Mobile
Softpedia
Phone Arena
DroidLife
Seems I'm not the only one starving for some news.

me too I'd like to know when we'll receive kitkat...a question, i'm from Italy but i purchased my razr hd in Uk.
My version is 98.21.22003.xt925.CEE-Retail.en.EU..Will I receive the upgrade as well or the release is only for Verizon users?

David Schuster did say a couple of days ago that the "M and HD are in Verizon labs currently". And that "Labs" can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.
It's in the same Google+ post linked in the OP. It's toward the bottom of the comments.

It still isn't clear weather a completed version is in their labs for testing and approval OR Moto's version was submitted to them for them to add bloat, test, fix, test, add more bloat, test, etc. I think once Verizon puts out a soak with their junk on it, then we may be getting truly close.
* This is only my interpretation on how this process is working and may be wrong.

Typically "labs" is the end of the line, unless there's a problem with the Software / Hardware on Verizon's Network.

Definitely coming this month.

Sounds more hardware than software related. I doubt they'd hold an event (or waste time at one) to announce a software update for phones released back in '12. They didn't for the newer, more relevant phones, and with no other company calling an event to announce "we've released KK for you on XYZ phone" it would come off as very pompous.
...am curious to see what their next model phone is though...

So possibly the firmware will be released before the new phone comes out?

Everything is speculative with no real concrete evidence to back anything up. We know that it's likely to come out this month, but even that is not 100% certain.

I agree. Most motorola reps are totally clueless. One Moto rep advised another XDA user that his X does not have a bootloader, and that only the DEV editions have a bootloader. LMFAO....
I would take this 'chat' with a grain of salt. Once Moto posts this info on their official twitter page, I'll believe it.

had a dumb chat session the other day where after i provided my IMEI the rep tried to convince me that i still had a moto atrix. this was after i had already given him the IMEI straight from my moto x. :silly:

This is "confirmed" the same way the tabloids "confirm" that there's a bat boy or a woman with 7 ears.
Support reps typically have little to no knowledge about upcoming releases.

Really good news. Hope this be the thruth.

that is a great news for Motorola Droid Ultra and Maxx users too... because our devices support Moto x firmwares as well..

Seems legit!

It will be at least October before it is released. Google is not allowing any Android L apps (using the new api) until then.

What I think is that company's are already using an release source in secret, not accessible for us. But I don't believe September...

The API is public. There is no need for it to be secret. But it is subject to change so they aren't allowing apps to be published on the Play Store until it is finalized.

well if google wants to play catch up with ios8, a septembet release might be on the way for L but then again, the October relase according to the API regulations on playstore is legit too. I hope L will run well on our moto g

I did not even hear about when it will be released officially by google. No timelines or schedules. Just 2-3 dev preview on nexuses. That's all. I think it will be released till the end of this year. May be someday in november.
But of course we won't get it this month. No way.

You guys are right, I just wanted to show a rumour on several sites...

android L
I think that the google play edition will first receive the android L. Just like the google play edition was the first one to receive the kitkat 4.4.4 as first

Yes, Google has already the device trees for the GPE's so it won't take a long time to edit it so I think we get Android L really fast after release.

Marshmallow

I didn't find a thread, so I'm starting one. Marshmallow on the Moto X 2014. Timeline? Rumors? Got a port working? Hopefully we get it in shorter order than the original X got Lollipop.

I'm guessing OTA between December 2015 & February 2016.

Sources say the end of this year. November or December maybe.
If google release a 6.0.X, they going to push the update for moto back...
Sent from my XT1093 using Tapatalk

I am hoping we get a official ota by Motorola around December.
I really think Motorola can push 6.0 without taking much time as it's not much a big change as lollipop when it was out.
If anyone finds official info on Motorola update to Marshmallow plz share here.

Whoa! I didn't expect it to happen that soon TBH. I thought the update would first hit the new MotoX Pure Edition, then the Play and THEN the XT109x series.
But really awesome if it happens that quick.

let's wait and see... not having too high hopes

Hey everyone,
i just went and checked on wifi alliance website and what that article says is actually is true. You can view the certificate in the screenshots below.

Looks like we are one of the first ones who will have Marshmallow.

Not sure I'm that convinced by the quality of this report.... "However, the same documents carried no hints on when exactly the update to Marshmallow is happening for Moto X 2014 owners but it appears quite certain that they take a bite of the new Android sweet ahead of the Moto X 2014 users."

Yup just saw this. I have the Verizon version 5.1.1 and unrooted. Which means I won't be able to get Marshmallow at all on this phone. It has only been a year and it is done already. How nice!

You do realize its more then likely the carriers not moto that is responsible for this. There were like 5 models approved by wifi authority if phones that were approved by them dont get the update its not cause of moto, its cause the carriers want you to buy a new phone.

Moto is updating the Droid turbo for Verizon. Does that mean Verizon doesn't want those people to buy new phones, only 2014 moto x owners?

Yup, I just read this on their site. I'm actually really disappointed in Motorola. I thought that a flagship that is ONE YEAR OLD would still be supported. I mean, at least maybe now I could use a custom ROM and not worry about updates ruining the system. :/

As I said most of the 2014 line already has the updates approved. Moto only controls directly the devices they listed, the carrier ones even if moto puts out the update is still required to have carrier approval. The pure's are the only ones in the gen 2 moto x line that moto DIRECTLY controls updates for. Might be as simple as moto wont say that's Verizon for example will or will not get updates as the final decision is Verizons where as the pure the decision is exclusively Motorolas.

Looking at it now, something's very fishy about OP and the thread, there's only ONE screenshot and it's on the camera app info, it's not even on the software update menu, he describes very few if any worthy details about the update.
Not to mention, he's the only guy so far who has this supposed "Android 10 update" for the Z4 "OTA on Verzion" when everybody else about almost a week later, still hasn't recieved an update.
The lack of any overwhelming proof and only a very few details is what raises a major red flag for me.
And why would a carrier variant of any phone gets an update before the UNLOCKED version? Could be me but that's honestly unusual for that to happen right?
News outlets shouldn't report on this guy for an update on the Z4, I'm feeling he's just spreading false hype.

Thanks for the response, we only want to see more screenshots (Specifically of the Software update menu or about phone menu) because people on other forums are questioning the legitimacy of this thread and we just want further proof.

Something like this may help. Shows Android version and model number in same screenshot, so that people know it's legit ?.

Okay, this is getting annoying at the least. Still nobody has this update, not even me as a Verizon Z4 user, and you're still refusing to send more screenshots of proof and it's been well over a week since you started this thread.
I mean how is it so hard for you to share a couple of screenshots that only takes very little of your time, it's that simple.
So either you're in a soak test, or something is faked (based on looking at how sketchy that original screenshot looked) and assuming either way, you just want to get attention.
People are tired of your bullshitting!
