excitement!!

Anyone else checking this site like a drug fiend!?
Bootloader crack!

You know it. I hop on multiple times a day just to check the R&D thread.
It's becoming a problem, but I can't help it. I'm excited for this.

Yup. All day. Can't help it.

Yup! Many times a day

Yep, I've already downoaded the Canadian TWRP (since ATT doesn't have one yet) and Slim Bean 4.2.2.
Just waiting on the hack to be released. Dude isn't holding it back for just nothing I'm sure. Prolly is making sure it works consistently on all phones before releasing.
The thing about software hacks... just because it works on one model of phone, doesn't mean it won't break another phone of the SAME model. Stuff like that happens all the time.
Btw, thanks a lot. Now I have three freakin threads on Bootloader that I have to keep refreshing all day.

Definitely...lol

That's awesome! Though, I don't think anyone looking for a new S4 should count on MDL phones as even a remote possibility. You probably got one of the last MDL phones outside of the used market.

I just called AT&T about my speratic reboots on my phone. He did some reset on his end, he told me it might have fixed it. I told him if I elected to have it replaced could I request a replacement phone with firmware MDL? He said that's a different department but he recommend that I go to my local store and have it replaced there if I choose that route. The odds that the store has one is quite slim I'm sure but worth the time since I see that ppl still manage to get one from time to time. First thing I guess I'd need to do is remove root from my current phone, head over, tell them my issue, refuse a master reset (last time they reset my phone I lost everything, including my sdcard...never again). They should then offer me a replacement, I ask for a MDL model, I tell them how to tell. If they don't have any which I'm sure they don't, would I receive another MF3? My store is actually pretty cool, I may just walk in an ask if they have any MDL's...if so than I'll about getting an exchange.

The more I think about it, really whats the point. I asked here the other day "is locked boots the new norm" all so far have said yes, as far as version and AT&T goes. Even if I get a MDL model, im still getting an upgrade next summer...Ill have the same issue then as I'm sure we all will. Its a dark time. I'm sure we'll always have root but flashing custom Roms is what we all what (safe assumption). If this is the case and the modding community is as large as I think it is, I see the 2 carries taking a large hit in sales due to their nonsence. Sorry guys, had to vent

Anyone know when we're getting 4.4.2?

Any idea when we'll be getting the 4.4.2 update? I'm sick of exchange not working and USB otg function being broken. If these problems were fixed this phone would be more bearable not having root.
If anyone has news on this it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, was hoping maybe someone has heard something. The moto x and g both have 4.4.2 so our droid lineup is left awaiting the update
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium

For the last two OTAs, the Droids didn't see a soak test until 5 to 6 weeks after the first X received the OTA, and definitely after all of the US carriers had the OTA. Verizon and AT&T Moto X phones still don't have the OTA, and it's only been a couple of weeks since the unlocked X got 4.4.2, so I'd just relax until the second week of March or so, if history repeats itself.
The G never had 4.4 - it went from 4.3 to 4.4.2, probably because Moto started working on the update after 4.4.2 was released. But, really, the X and the G are Moto's flagship phones. I think the Droids will always lag those two for updates.

Every device has one of these threads where people whine that the oem isn't providing ETA of the next update as if there's a requirement for them to tell you. Calm down and enjoy your device and know it will be updated when it's ready. If you're in a hurry buy a nexus.

I do enjoy my device, aside from the known bugs which are a constant annoyance. The Moto G and X have received the update so obviously the question arises is it in the works for the Droids..
No there's not a requirement for them to say, that's why people ask. Its a simple question, not "whining".

I'm running 4.4.2 right now topsnake ported it from the moto x you need an unlocked boot loader but runs great.

What are the significant differences from 4.2.2 >4.4 >4.4.2?
I just went to 4.4 and haven't seen anything too noticeable. I think a few of my games play better. But some apps like eBay are acting a little wonky.
I guess the UI is a little snappier.

There have been changelogs posted. I think that we can look at the Moto X changelog for 4.4.2 to see what the Droids might get from 4.4.2. Not much - mostly bug fixes (battery life problems, exchange mail sync problems I think.)
4.4 changes were mostly internal stuff. BT 4.0 and BT LE devices are now supported. Emulated secure element for NFC, so Google Wallet tap to pay now works. Full screen mode. Camera touch to focus update. There are now printing options. The rest of the stuff in the changelog about the Gallery app is updated, since the gallery app has been updated a couple of times since then. There are also updates to Touchless Controls and Active Display. And a bug with the home key, that has the phone respond as if you pressed the home key twice.
4.4 changelog: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/97696
4.4.2: http://support.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/moto-x.pdf
(Strangely, the update changelog on VZW's site has been pulled and is now showing the update for the first OTA, 12.7.7, that came with the phone last August.)

Definitely looks like it's incredibly likely they corrected the trick to flash back to MK2 after updating like we could with the leaked 4.4 build.

Differences?

Do we know yet if there are any major differences between the leaked build and the official OTA build? If not, I would just flash the leaked one instead of going with the official AT&T route. If there aren't too many bugs I don't see any reasons not to.

Hopefully we'll get a new modem because the latest one was horrible for me.

No trick needed, they just decided not to increment the qfuse version with the MLD leak. It's almost guaranteed the official version will have an updated value and will not allow for reversion. We'll know for sure when I can get the new aboot.

Wow. This should be good news, but I find it incredibly depressing. I'm definitely leaving AT&T once my contract is up. This locked phone business just sucks.

It's only 31 minutes past midnight on the eastern seaboard. I wouldn't expect AT&T to push the update until much later in the day... say around 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST. Granted, that's only a guess on my part, they could be rolling it out as I type this.

This is AT&T, and they want their phones locked "for consistent user experience", so it's highly likely they were so late delivering the update - "Lock&bloat!". Locking the loopholes.

After I check for the OTA, and it's still not up why does it say I can check back in 91 hours? It's usually 24 hrs......does that even really matter or can I check every hour if I wanted to?

Dude that really sucks you can't get decent signal on sprint in your area. Sooner or later vzw and at&t are going to realize that their bs is driving their customers away in droves. It really has a special way of pissing me off knowing I dropped all this money on these phones and I can't even do what I want with them. It's almost like going to a furniture store and buying a recliner and then that store owner dictating certain times I'm allowed to sit in that recliner, what times I'm allowed to put the foot rest up, what I'm allowed to do while sitting in it, and then being forced to sit in it with the store owner at the same time, and then being forced to wait a year to be able to buy a new slipcover for it.
That's just my example of comparing to vzw and their locked bootloaders, insane bloatware, ridiculously long-delayed updates and ridiculous push notifications, (vvm anyone?).
I really hope you get the dev edition if you can't switch and then I hope you torture the ever living hell out of vzw with it!
Best of luck to you my friend!
