I read it's pretty easy to go from tesco to UK retail 4.3 my question is..... is it worth bothering and will I still get the OTA KitKat or have to put it on manually?
I see some say it will upgraded OTA but are they really guessing? because don't want to unlock the bootloader yet.

if your going to flash the retail 4.3 uk image you might as well just flash the US GSM kitkat image like many from the uk have
including my self as its the same process and all works as it should, or wait a week for official update

Hey,
I got the 8X from Bell in Canada (same as AT&T in the US). Anyone knows when the update's going to be released?
Also, would unlocking my phone with an online service make my phone an international unlocked phone? Or would it still be a Bell phone but unlocked?

You should be more specific. Which update? What version do you have at the moment?
AFAIK the latest version currently is 8.0.10211.204.

It should make it an international unlocked phone. But note this is only a simlock, other lock types like interop-, root-, full-unlock are not yet made (if even possible) for windows phone 8. Only developer unlock is currently possible.
Also, be sure to be careful which site you use, others in the forum experienced difficulties: thread 2101075

Sorry about that, by update I did mean Portico, I'm still running 8.0.9903.10.
So by unlocking my phone, would it allow me to perform an OTA update?

Got my AT&T update today. So I would think that yours is coming soon. As far as unlocking your phone, I don't think that will make any difference as far as the update is concerned. The update will still come from Bell.
Yea, it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or not. The update still comes the same way
I purchased a Droid Mini and I'm using it in Germany (provider is O2/Fonic). Can I expect to receive the OTA update to 4.4 KitKat? Or is this for VZW customers only?
I didnt get the push of it, but you can download it from the GENERAL section and rename it to UPDATE.ZIP.
Go to your stock recovery and flash it there.
Thats how I did it, got stationed in Italy, and just did it yesterday

Maybe I'll give it a try. I'm not sure if I can really use the MAXX OTA zip for my MINI.

Hi, I have a serious question. I recently bought my LG G3 D850 AT&T version and I'm loving it. I rooted it and removed AT&T bloatware. I was wondering will I still get OTA update of lollipop? One more thing I don't live in the States, would I get the OTA through Google or AT&T or do I have to manually install it ? . Thanks

Yes you will still get lollipop, if you use ota you will lose root and the bloat will come back, also the ota will come through att on your phone, if you want lollipop now i recommend installing CM12, i did and i love it

Check it out. You can stop ota.

Thanks so it really doesn't matter if I live in states or in Asia ? Still will get the OTA update through AT&T? I dont have AT&T contract I think this phone was unlocked when I bought it. CM 12 is stable ? can you pls give me the direct link for it ? Or should I wait for the OTA from AT&T (which is still hard to believe that will get the update from them since I live in Asia not the USA). Thanks

Its got some bugs, id wait until theyre sorted out, and since you live in Asia id recommend flashing Cloudy G3 as its based off the international rom, and soon he should update it to lollipop, also i wouldnt flash the ota from ATT as you could lose root and most important Bump,
I've been scouring the net trying to find this OTA, most sites link to sbf.droiddevelopers.org (which doesn't seem to work anymore)
Does anyone have a copy of Blur_Version.14.14.14.falcon_cdma.Verizon.en.US
Maybe you can find the entire ROM here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
I was only able to find 4.4.4 and 4.3 on that site. Unfortunately Sunshine force closes on 4.3 and afaik it just straight up doesn't work on 4.4.4 (someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong).
Never mind was able to unlock my bootloader

I was on 4.4.3 stock. I had to use the legacy version of Sunshine though, it worked without any issues.

Any way to downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.4?
Thanks
Mod Edit:
Thread closed at OPs request.
You can downgrde by using Flashtool by @Androxyde and flash 4.4.4 ftf for your model but you will loose your data because of lollipop ART. If you need a ftf i can upload one for you

Thanks. I'm not going to flash it right now, but I'll need latest version of Kitkat available for D2302. I'll get my hands on a PC in a week, then I'll flash the phone.
I have one question though.
After downgrading through flashtool, will my phone be able to recieve OTA? (in case they decide to release fix for camera) Or will I have to flash again for update?
And I saw that some people were saying they had good camera after lollipop, May I know what did they do?

Yes, after downgrading you will be able to OTA upgrade to lollipop but I think OTA won't work if you have an unlocked bootloader. And i don't know how people with a good camera quality have do this.

Thanks! I have an unlocked bootloader. I'll definitely flash Kitkat now.
Hi,
Could anyone please upload latest stock Kitkat 4.4.4 ftf for D2302 India?
Is there any difference between different countries ftf? Like FM frequency, etc.
And one last question, Can I flash stock Sony ftf with Locked Bootloader? And will it still be able to get official updates?
Thanks
