Not 100%, but it seems to be just a 4.1.2 service update. Maybe a Blur update. I'm more intereseted if they're gonna release an updated kernel. That's what's gonna be interesting....

If you are wanting this update with a good kernel just flash CM10.2. There should be a official coming out in the next couple of days or the nightlies are very good to.

An older kernel isn't necessarily a bad thing, but those Soak Tests/OTA's tweaked the system enough to break the unlocked bootloader exploit. If you have a RAZR HD, don't update it. Have an Atrix HD??? Doesn't matter, Motorola completely dropped support for us so we'll never get an official Motorola/OEM/Carrier OTA ever again. Motorola dropped our support hoping we'd buy an X, the only thing they accomplished is making a lot of us not get a Motorola Phone on our next upgrade/purchase.

I added Moto to my list of companies to not buy products from.
If the galaxy s2's get officil 4.2.2 my next phone will be a Samsung.
Edit: I'm grateful for this official cm10.1 i'm using on my atrixhd... i started to hate stock and even holoblur couldn't keep me happy. I don't know if it's just me but it seems like after a day or two of usage stock roms start to lag, i found myself having to reboot my phone every 24-48hours.

Yeah definitely not smart on their part. They drop support on almost every phone after 1 or 2 updates. And every atrix people got screwed on. Especially people that traded in their old Motorola to get this one and then moto was like ha just kidding get bent. Buy this new 200 dollar on contract phone.

Are you absolutely sure Motorola has dropped support for the Atrix HD? I remember getting a maintenance update on my old Atrix 4G last spring after Motorola had announced that the Atrix 4G would not be getting ICS.

I just bought this phone for a family member overseas and I want to make sure they have the best experience possible. I searched through all the ROMs and it doesn't seem like an there is an easy choice.
I saw a CleanROM thread which seemed to promise what I want, but it looks like the rom was pulled and there is all sort of weirdness going on there (dead fathers and other weird ****).
I look at CM10.1 by epinter, but the "alpha" branding and the bluetooth audio issue is scaring me a little bit.
What recommendations do you guys have? Do you guys think I should just leave the phone the way it is?
Stock the phone runs fine if you wanna put something smooth and bug free really the only option is holoblur

Exactly! I personally am not down with the moto x. Its just a (very) slightly updated version of the matrix HD. And the real deal killer (from what I've heard) is that there's no f*#$%¡£ SD card slot.
Slightly of topic: since we where talking about kitkat running on older phones, does anyone else find it awesomely funny that the HTC dream/ T-Mobile G1 (the first official android phone) can run jellybean? Sure it's crap compared to ours now but the fact that it can even boot is cool.

i actualy did not know that and not only that att cut there main support for atrix hd as soon as moto-x came out and i haveused the moto-x its really more of a downgrade than an upgrade and you are correct it does not have a external sd card slot which prevents me from even thinking about the moto-x as a possible device
thats why i havent bought the nexus 4
Well I don't really think that 4.4 KitKat will be the next version of android. I don't know why but it just doesn't sound right. I mean all these hints from Google about klp for nothing? If you remember a Google employee had posted a picture of android eating klp which actually "confirmed" klp as the next version of android for me. It could be a marketing trick, like they show kitkat and then release 5.0 KLP . It could be a small "lie" from Google so that it keeps us thinking that they release 4.4 and then, boum they release 5.0. I could be wrong but I don't think 4.4 will be next version of android if you think how many android versions 4+ has supported (4.0, 4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, and now 4.4???) All other android version numbers were supporting no more than two versions of android (1.5, 2.0, 2.2, 3.0,) Also I don't think Google would use a copyrighted name as their next version of android. Like I said, this could be a "trick" from Google or I could be totally wrong

Motorola (even in spite of being under Google's control now) will pull the same crap they did with the Atrix 4G and Photon: they'll keep saying "future plans" or "coming soon" or "we'll let you know" and then they'll just drop a bomb as they already did and say "if you want KitKat, go buy a candy bar or a new phone..."
Sad but more than likely true.
It really pisses me off since Google is pushing KitKat with marketing-speak that professes it runs great on non-top-tier hardware with as little as 512MB of RAM and a dual core processor, and yet with a device like the Atrix HD which covers that (dual core 1.5 GHz + 1GB of RAM) they'll just say "It's not gonna happen so get over it." I know in the long run it would be AT&T's decision whether to do it or not, but it's safe to say that no, we'll never see an official 4.4 update for the Atrix HD. Hell, I probably won't get one for my LG Optimus G either, which truly sucks.

AT&T doesn't even factor into us getting stock better than 4.1.. We have more carriers than just AT&T, not many, but we do -- Atrix HD already has 4.1.2 stock, where AT&T Atrix HD is only 4.1.1. Also, rumor has it that AHD Bell is running 4.2....almost makes me want to flash Bell JB just to run a system update on it....almost. If someone does flash B 4.1.2 and gets an update, don't install it, notify us so it can be ripped and made into a rom first. Don't want to accidentally f**k yourself out of an unlocked bootloader.
Remember that as long as ANY device of the razr-msm8960 family gets better than 4.1, then all the other devices essentially get it.
I know I'm saying att personally sucks at updates as your post just confirmed lol.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
To be fair to AT&T, Motorola is/was just as bad. Look at the Bravo, Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, and a few other similar phones, between the 4 the biggest differences are 3 different camera modules, a hardware keyboard, the below screen button layout, and maybe some slightly different sensors....Moto released the Defy+, which is the exact same as the Defy only clocked to 1ghz and had the red lens camera module (OG Defies had 5mp cameras, but some had a red lens module and the other green, Milestone had red 5mp, Bravo green 3mp).
Now on the custom scene, Bravo and Defy use the exact same sources other than camera and, I think, some proprietary lib differences. Milestone is the same other than the hardware keyboard additions, and maybe some more...been a while since I've messed with that platform.
Bravo latest is stock froyo 2.2.1 (there is a 2.2.2 model around)
Defy is froyo 2.2.2 (there is a leaked 2.3.4 GB)
Defy+ is GB 2.3.6
MS2 is GB 2.3.6
All these phones could have easily been updated by Motorola, but its easier to not update them and make us get new phones.
Stock Bravo is the worst stock experience ever, and my first Android. Four hours in and I was rooted and on a custom rom, BravoX.
They all run CM10.2 thanks to Quarx and many other talented devs.
What's funny is I bet ya that more than half of XDA's members are here because of the Manufacturer/Carrier release fiasco that always happens. If they didn't want us messing with our phones then they should give us something that doesn't completely suck, like our Stock ICS...Other than TB, governor type crap, etc I could use that without root any day of the week and be happy with it.
