On my nexus so I can't post a more direct link. Choose Verizon and then RAZR m and we are officially getting 4.4!
So... anyone else excited?

You beat me by 10 minutes - just saw it there as well - doesn't say when, but at least we know it's coming -

Very cool. But my only concern is that if I go back to the stock ROM, And take the 4.4 OTA update,... I will lose my unlocked bootloader. Not sure. But if or when Kit-Kat comes to the RAZR M,.... I'll wait for a custom ROM version. Thanks for great news and the heads up.

I would go sign up for the soak but.... You never know what the out come may be... Don't think it will lock the boot loader but I've learned from the Droid 4 to just wait and see

Possibly a bootloader loophole in 4.4 if we're lucky, but I'm fine with the update.

I wouldn't worry. When Dan cracked the boot loader he made it crystal clear that it is physically impossible to relock due to the nature of the qfuse. So they may break other things like root ... But they can't relock your boot loader.

At the beginning of the link they say they will tell you when the update will happen but that information isn't given in the razr m section. Am I missing something?

How easily people forget what this site is all about. Jellybean source is out there and is being poked and prodded by the REAL developers of Android. Forget "official" releases. As long as TouchWiz is part of a Samsung release it's just not worth having nor waiting for.

Duh. I forgot about that. I have my phone rooted too. I just don't remember what version i rooted. It was a video that someone posted on another forum. Worked great. But still looked like my telus phone. Battery life went way up. But then I installed go launcher and locker to get jb look, and my battery life went back to normal. I'm hoping a real jb from will get my good battery life back.

4.0 has that feature also.. Jelly bean let's you resize it though.. Just slightly.. And the feature only works with the built in video player.. Not with YouTube, Netflix etc.
So basically you can only use that feature from some Facebook videos and videos you have in your own phone

Want to update to zv8, but have a locked bootloader

Hey guys, i want to get the zv8 update since im on zv7 and the keyboard bug is annoying. I have a unlocked bootloader though. Is there a way to relock the bootloader to update? Or should I create a more recent nandroid, use lgnpst to reset it, update, then use custom restore to put just the /data back on?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
FreeGee will relock your bootloader.
If you're using CWM, it depends on how you backed it up. Changed from the default .dup and people claim it work. I know TWRP works because thats what I use.
I'm just not sure you should restore from a backup from zv7 to zv8. I think it'll mess things up.
Or you could just wait. There are some ROM's being released VERY soon. As well as the Zv9 update.
I'd wait for the zv9 flash able zip. Or a ROM based on it
Z8 doesn't fix the messaging problem. Supposedly z9 does but there isn't a root or unlocker for it yet
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well the freegee app from the play store is paid, which someone said is the only way to relock it:/ and the update notification keeps popping up while im texting and such.

Haha. Ah yes, the dreaded camera bug.

Korean firmware leaked. Works on our phone too.

Here is the Korean firmware. We can probably kang something useful. Don't attempt to flash. It isn't made for Sprint phones and you will turn your phone into a paper weight or an iPhone.

If you flash the F180L version you can boot and use the phone. Your radios won't work though. You will still have WiFi. Any devs who feel generous might be able to port this.

I won't be holding my breath for it, but it sounds like Samsung may actually get it out in March or April, assuming testing goes well. Of course, anybody in the US with a carrier branded phone will still be waiting forever for the carriers to finish bloating and breaking it and release their updates. Hell, T-Mobile didn't even release the 4.3 update for their latest version of the S3 (S3 LTE-T999L) until December.
But hey, anything's possible.
Yes, but it wasnt scheduled until nov 25th anyway, so actually I think it was pretty quick. But I'm surprised if the s3 gets kit kat at all, but I truly hope so!
