You can try to install a custom rom, they usually have the latest version. I don't know if that model is supported anymore.

You will have to wait till they release the KITKAT version for your device. When they do, you can do a software update. Till then you are free to use aa KITKAT based rom for your device

Good afternoon.
I had some problems and could only just come here.
The KitKat version will work fine on my Acer Iconia B1-710?
Where can I download it?

You have to search for it, Try google for example also there must be be a KK version released for you phone,
flashing a random KK Rom will hard brick your phone.

You have 2 options:
1. Wait for the official update OTA for your device to come
2. Flash the US rom and the KK OTA from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578997 and follow the guide to the letter if you want it asap.

[Q] uk xt925 ota upgrade

Hi I'm new on here so I hope I'm asking in the correct place!
I have two questions, firstly my RAZR HD has jelly bean system version 98.21.26002.XT925.Orange.en.GB
It states on the Motorola website that only phones running a retail version will receive the ota upgrade to kitkat....
Now it seems I don't have a retail software but there is no retail software for the uk RAZR HD just the orange software so is this the retail version and will I receive the ota upgrade eventually for my razr HD ??.
Hope someone can help thanks.

Can't believe this post has had so many views but no replies!
Is the question impossible to answer?
Is it because I'm from the uk and most of the users on hear seem to be from other countries?

hm just went to the moto website,
under orange: no moto razr hd;
retail; yes to kit kat.
tricky, tricky,
id suggest you contact orange to see if they will flash retail version or not;
maybe moto would make a retail ROM and then pass on to carriers to customize? I'm not so sure,
"Confirm you have a Retail model. Go to your device’s Settings menu and select About Phone. If you don’t see Retail (or RET) under System Version, go back and select your carrier."
best bet is that you're out of luck;
if you really want kk when its released just flash it...

Thanks for the reply djvita.
Yes flashing is an option but I'm not familiar with how to do that at the moment and then there's the problem of finding the correct Rom to flash for the uk??.
Wonder if anyone has received the official ota upgrade to kitkat yet on the RAZR HD?

Once kk is out it will not take long for an xml to be posted.
Then you can rsd lite it to your 925. Learn how to run rsd lite.

Orange.en.GB is UK retail rom. Don't worry you'll get KK update.

Backup your device and use RSDLite to flash retail firmware http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=6&file=105
Once you are done and you connect to the internet, Kitkat will be available. Do this on your own responsibility.

Still no kitkat ota here in the uk

you dont have to wait man if you must have it now. Unlock your bootloader via moto website if you haven't done so already. Then hop on the XT925 UPGRADE thread and flash away. KK is better than JB for sure.

Hi,
i've an XT925 purchased from Orange UK.
Few month ago i've unlock bootloader and i've flash CM11. I want receive official OTA update so I had thought of restore the old Jellybean 4.1.2 firmware using RSD Lite. Will I receive the OTA update I also (when it is released) or should I do some other operation?
Thanks and best Regards

You will and should have. I think Orange released their update. If not, you can flash it if you have stock rtfr installed.

I've had a rough time updating mine as well... It's been a nightmare so far.

What did you do?

Hi all, just to let you all know I've finally got the ota update to android version 4.4.2 kitkat.
Got the update about 1:00pm today wed 8th october.
Only took about 10mins to update and everything seems fine so I'm pleased.
System version 180.46.117.XT925.Orange.en.GB

Congrats

Help Y01 tablet ,still working previous owner had issued recall

I currently have a shield tablet Y01 ,its on stock Nougat (5.1 ota update). not rooted or bootloader unlocked
Previous owner did the recall and new tablet will be here in 3-4 weeks , so tablet is currently working
What can I do to make sure this isnt killed ?
Need a n00b guide really as havent flashed anything since a htc desire

no one ??

Root, then use a root explorer to delete TegraOTA.apk.
Root guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399737
TegraOTA guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/kill-kill-switch-shield-tablet-xx-t3179489
Alternatively, you can flash any custom ROM. They will prevent the tablet from updating as well.

So... The old killswitch-killer still works on Nougat? I could flash the nvidia stock, delete the TegraOTA.apk and go on with the newest official nvidia version?

Yup, did it successfully yesterday also. After stumbling onto this thread, i was encouraged enough... Went pretty smooth.
BTW, newest FullOTA (WiFi) is available directly from nvidia servers, as An Droid mentions here: http://ota-downloads.nvidia.com/ota...-full_ota-1928188_850.6612.20170219210839.zip

Hello,
Sorry for up this last thread, but I'm in the same position that the OP.
I have a pyro tablet on stock Nougat (the original owner did the recall) and it is still working (for 3 weeks). Is the kill switch disallowed for Nougat?
Should I unlock the bootloader and root it for remove the TegraOTA?
Thank you!

Yes.

Android 10 on Retail US

Anyone know when/if Android 10 is coming to RETUS/Retail US? I'm on the XT1955-5 and this seems (from what I've seen) to be the most common model. I'm hoping that it will come soon because I like some of the newer features in Android 10, alongside the fact that the Settings will no longer burn my retinas. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there's no android 10 for retus yet... I'll let you know if i get any news about it

I'm in the USA but have retin. I've got the update and a June 1st patch for security already.

I have the June security update. Are you saying you got the Android 10 update via OTA?

retus & I got the June 1 security update but not 10.

I would do a custom ROM but I'm just sticking with official for now till Android 11 becomes old news.
Also because of the Google Safetynet stuff,
speaking of which, does anyone know if our device supports hardware-based safetynet?

I'm on stock retus june update and according to magisk, we have basic under the evaltype, not hardware-based.

Yeah! I think it'll be winter 2020 before US Carriers (T-Mo/Sprint/Metro) see Android 10.

Probably right. I guess there is a kind of work around to that by flashing certain imgs from another retail to retus. I haven't done it yet, but it sounds a lot like what happened a few yrs ago with my atrix hd and the razr hd. Atrix got left on 4.1.2, razr got 4.4.2, could flash some imgs from razr, without touching the bootloader, and i had moto's official 4.4.2 on my atrix. I believe its the same concept here with retus, but i haven't tried it yet.

Can you post a link to what you're describing? What parts of the ROM need to be flashed to go to Android 10?

See java-shin x kernel thread

Guess I'm lucky. I got the retin (India rom I guess) my phone updated to Android 10 about a month ago and I'm in Utah.

PSA: You can install the generic RETAIL firmware. It's much safer than flashing any region specific stuff.
