[Q] 4.4 bootloader for CM11 - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted and unlocked RAZR HD running CM11, and I'm having trouble installing updates. The update manager will
FInd new updates (snapshots and nightlies)
Download updates
Reboot into recovery
Try to install the update
before failing. TWRP says that the update file needs a 4.4 bootloader, so I presume that my version of TWRP is out of date. Is there a 4.4 bootloader for the RAZR HD, and if so how can I install it over TWRP?
Thanks in advance,
John

you can flash the kitkat stock rom, not the latest using rsd light, root and flash the recovery again. you must be unlocked im assuming so it will be safe for you.

Thanks! I was trying to figure out how I could flash a custom recovery to 4.4.3....Thanks to your post, I realized that CWM recovery was the ticket from the beginning.
Normally, I would use TWRP. Not no more.
I now have a custom recovery on the stock 4.4.3 firmware!
Why are all you people flashing recoveries and all that jazz..when a factory FXZ (aka) firmware isn't available.. just asking for trouble..then most blame the device for the problems created..
TIP: NEVER flash anything unless you have the FXZ..
Also..if you ones are relying on OTA's then that's also asking for trouble..what til an FXZ is available, then flash away..

[ROM][4.4.x][OFFICIAL & NIGHTLIES][MOTO_MSM8960] MoKee OpenSource Project

I was on the 9.30 OTA and installed the KK ota via @SamuriHL method.... I rooted and unlocked the bootloader.
Next I installed CWM for KK and tried installing Mokee @Ryuinferno. Now I am in a bootloop. What could have gone wrong?

Nope didnt work. Should I have downgraded to JB and done this? I am not sure about that though as the ROM is KK

The ROM is KK but it was not designed for the latest boot loader version, I think. The only custom rom that will work with the most recent OTA boot loader are dhacker's test builds
You have to either downgrade the boot loader, use one of the test builds or revert to stock system.

i did something very similiar. from what i understand (which isnt muchLOL). but Dhacker29 told me that once you upgrade you have to use the new kitkat bootloader. and the new bootloader only works with roms that have upgraded kernels 3.5 or higher(i think) so right at this momoent there are next to no roms but you can either use stock and modify it yourself or you can give Dhackers test build which isnt bad it has a few bugs but all the hardware works so far and my RAZR HD is playing games it couldnt touch before at all. here give this a try( oh turn off touch sounds to get rid of that anoying popping/cracking sound) i started this thread after having the same issues LMAO in it u will find links to the test rom . hope this helps

If you've flashed a custom kernel its the most likely reason for the problem in my experience, but also I think CWM and TWRP don't handle the OTAs well (Philz recovery does). So you need to be on Philz or stock recovery (which will mean re-rooting afterwards if you go stock) and stock kernel for your region.

Yes you can flash the OTA update without any issues. Considering your bootloader is 41.18 you wont be having any trouble and obviously since you clean flashed 5.0.2 surely your bootloader must have updated itself automatically
