XXLRK Firmware (Germany) out

This firmware was just posted on the Sammobile website. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a 4.0.4 update to the LRG firmware or 4.1?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5602

I think is an 4.0.4 update.

Downloading, will test it right away. Thanks

Just got the update via OTA in Germany (unbranded, german note)
But I can't install it because my battery is dead
Can anyone test if they removed the unified search, like they did on the sgs3 and gn?

How can I test this? Just installed the update and actually all that I can see which has changed is some german commercial applications (shops/hotels/food delivery) - uninstalling them all now

Added the "Quick Search Bar" to my homescreen. When I press it nothing happens (well, Google text turns green on-finger-down). No keyboard shows up. The voice input directs me to google.com (when saying facebook)

We are talking about the google search widget, right?
You can also long-press the settings key.

Tested myself :banghead:
Nothing changed there

XXLRK is still 4.0.4
Downloaded XXLRK today on my german gt-n7000 in India. Still 404

The changelog for XXLRK
The large 24MB OTA update does not change the version of Android, but the Galaxy brings touch to firmware version XXLRK and the performance of the Galaxy increases note. The search will remain intact! But there is a slightly modified keyboard with large distances and significantly improved writing comfort

Will this OTA kill root access? or should I rather use Mobile Odin?

I did the OTA update altho i did see it in the samfirmware website as well .. i wonder, could this update also fix the brickbug samsung said would fix ? Altho i suspect they would make a big fuss about the update if this was the one which fixed the brickbug, eh ?

I have it. Its 4.0.4
However i want to root with cwm is there a cf kernel for xxlrk?

Anyone noticed in XXLRK, power_profile.xml is mentioning battery capacity as 1650 instead of actual value 2500? decompiled framework-res.apk and under res>xml you can find this file. I don't know if battery usage calculation can give bad result because of this? or is it ok? Anyone with advanced knowledge pls.

Asian 4.04 Update
Most of Asia received the update to 4.04 in the last few days. I am in Thailand but there was no OTA update but the update was on Kies. Since updating I am still wondering what it was supposed to do as I cannot see any obvious changes except that I have lost root. I thought it might be an update to keep us safe from the brickbug but who knows? Anyone able to shed any light on what the update is for?

I use the Thai stock ICS 4.0.4 but I don't think there are differences, but this is only a regional 4.0.4 update.
And I didn't see any post here describing something new in these end-of-july-stock-ROMs.
I kept root the long way (coming from GB rooted, and installing the new version with Mobile Odin Pro, adding Notecore 13 later).
When you switch to a safe kernel you do not have to hope for an official safe update anymore.

New .423 Realease from HK

Hello all, my phone just recieved updates via PCC (I was previously on 4.2.2). I upgraded and found that the build number is also 423, however more smooth system, espicially the album lag seems to be fixed.
I provide you the ftf link of new .423 HongKong Firmware. This is not uploaded by me (damn speed), but a friend from another forum.
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=3475709745&uk=4079996535
This link is from China and I am not sure about the speed.
According to some findings by Applo, it seems that the new release does not fix anything.

while other users find upgrading do fix the album issue. its strange, you can make a backup and try yourself. hope it works

Soon as I flashed it, I noticed the NFC icon is back
EDIT: Album version 4.0.A.0.8, and settings still has lag imo but I didn't do a clean flash.

i recall in initial 4.2.2 scrolling in settings was laggy and horrible.
is it still laggy and horrible to scroll?

no bloatware after instalation just 3 apps that can be uninstalled withouth root..

As this is a tiny update, just to address the lags, should I flash it (I've done that once, but nervously) or is it likely to be pushed out fast? I am network unlocked, but using the Spanish 423 on Vodafone UK...

Sorry for being off topic, but, for the love of God, it's LAG with no plural. Just like you wouldn't say two glasses of waters.

It's not a real firmware update, just an update of the customization. Your customization version will have changed from 1270-5695_R2B to 1270-5695_R3B. This just means that Sony has changed something to the bundled apps or the customized settings.
Some weeks ago, this happened to the 'Generic NL' customization too. After updating, the Box app was pre-installed.

You're welcome
The core firmware (basically everything except the bundled apps and the resource overlays) stays the same as long as the build number doesn't change. Only the parts that are specific to the 'Generic HK' customization can be changed by the update.
If you look at the update XML file for 'Generic HK', you'll see that the latest firmware image (for Sony PC Companion and Sony Update Service) is swVersion 10.3.A.0.423 with cdfVersion R3B, while the latest delta update (OTA update) is still swVersion 10.3.A.0.423 with cdfVersion R2B.

I just downloaded this FTF (Generic HK 10.3.A.0.423 R3B) and compared it to the previous version (Generic HK 10.3.A.0.423 R2B).
These are the only differences:
build.prop: 'ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R2B' changed to 'ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3B'

If anyone gets this, don't forget to pull the OTA update file if you can.

I'm taking credit for this. I got tired of waiting last night and flashed the US version. I knew the OTA would appear as soon as I did...
You're all welcome

If I get it I'll pull it.

Question: With an unlock bootloader and root access, I'll be able to update via OTA or not? I have uk firmware

It looks like KitKat should be available for German Moto G`s https://motorola-global-portal-de.c...r_detail/a_id/97702/p/30,6720,9050/reg/574932. Don`t get a update notification atm and there is no update available through the Device Manager. It should come within the next few days i guess and Motorola is preparing it now :fingers-crossed:

Yes, as long as the rom, recovery and kernel are stock you can install the OTA. You will have to reroot though.

The same version number appears on Moto's website for the latin american update (KLB20.9-1.10-1.9), maybe we'll be getting it here by the same time.

I'm currently in the waiting line of Motorolas support chat. Maybe they can give some information when the update will be available. If this is the case i'll let you know.

Nothing available for my phone yet in the UK.

Nothing here - Moto G XT1032 purchased in UK, used in Czech Republic - not that is should matter ...
PS: Can anyone post a link here when the update file is saved and uploaded somewhere?

I guess those with a carrier version such as Tesco mobile will have to wait forever though unless we unlock and flash stock?

Still no .402 OTA notification

Getting pretty worried here. Have tried every day since this came out to get the OTA notification on my SPG512 I purchased from Sony Mobile in the US. Updater still says my .36 is the latest version even though Sony web site says .402 is available. I have tried using pc companion too and still no luck.
Is the rollout still going on or did they halt it? Anybody in the US get it yet?

I got the .402 update from the pc companion. I'm in the US and have the spg511. I got my tablet from Sony Mobile in the US as well. You may also want to try the Sony update services as well, since pc companion didn't work for Windows 8.1 it also gave me the update too.

I don't know how to retrieve the file when using the sony update services unfortunately. If you know how to do it or if someone else knows I would be willing to do it. I would assume it's a US version since I bought it from the Sony Mobile USA site.

I am in the same boat.
I have the 512 and no matter what I do, I am not getting the update. However, users of the 511 variant are reporting updates. There are even FTF for the 511 on xda but not for 512.

I have the 512 which I bought online from the Sony store. I live in Florida and check daily for the updated firmware. Nothing to date since I purchased it last month. I have used the software update on the tablet, as well as both the PC companion and Sony's updater from my pc...nothing so far. The website says that ...402 is the most recent firmware update, but then says I have the most up-to-date firmware.
Hmmmm.

is there any difference between the 511 and 512 besides internal memory? Why would 511s get the update and not 512s......

I would like to know too. It makes me feel bad about paying more but getting less support.

just flash the ftf file...

I would love to know how to do that.

In order to know how to do that you have to do something that, although very very difficult, is doable for you, if you really really make an effort:
Read the forums.

I have rooted my G Pads in the past.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Yes, we know, you are the master, but flashing a FTF has nothing to do with rooting...

Does anyone have the ftf for the sgp512 that came out before the .402?

I didnt even get 402 yet and the have a newer release?

Are you sure about this confirmation though? Confirming because I can confirm that the XDA confirmations are to be taken seriously confirmed.

Is it confirmed that following the confirmation that this update fixes SD card issues, that it's fixed…?
Would just like confirmation on that before I buy a 4G

I've updated today to 4.4.4 and I can confirm that the SD card bug is fixed. My class 10 card works now, before the update it didn't work. I bought my Moto G at Amazon France
