I second this.. The UK models are suppose to be shipped with 4.4.2 early February. I wouldn't be surprised of this the real deal..

I hope it's real, and that it fixes a lot of s**t!

Hope this is real do u know anything diffent on the 4.4.2 on moto x

I'm guessing you didn't pull the OTA file before installing it did you?

OK, you Verizon guys are lucky, us rogers folks are still on official 4.2 and you complained about Verizon being horrible with updates, what gives

Good news! Can't wait for this update, that exchange sync bug drives me crazy. Hope AT&T users will get it soon

I have the dev edition verizon moto x and have no update available. I also plugged the phone into the computer and checked if there was an update using Motorola device manager.

MEID/IMEI would be new, so that would be a quick turn around to get phone, register phone in MFN, and get update next day.

Same here, execpt I didn't check for update via Moto Device Manager.
On a side note.. the system version is in the 160's, where as 4.4.2 on the G's is in the 170's.. so is this "older" than the G 4.4.2 roms?

Not part of any feedback network as far as I know. It came with 4.2.2 then updated to 4.4 and said a software update was ready for install so I said ok without thinking about it. I tried installing app ops and it kept force closing on me which I found to be odd. Then I remembered 4.4.2 broke app ops and I checked my android version...voila

I'm not getting any update prompt.

Wow interesting. It had to have been a glitch. Punit did say he couldn't wait for this week. So it's entirely possible 4.4.2 is coming out this week. I am part of the mfn but haven't gotten any invite. It's possible after the lady debacle with the people on the mfn not being able to keep their mouths shut moto didn't do the mfn this time.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Wow. This is encouraging. I have an AT&T Moto X. I'm hoping 4.4.2 drops this week.

Make a system dump if possible!
I am impatient now!!

I hope they fixed the Android OS drain.

How is Motorola/Google treating Moto X users with bootloader/ROM dev?

Hello
Motorola has a horrible recent history with locked bootloaders and crippling for ROM development. Google bought it now and this is really the first phone they release. Has anything changed with Google now in charge?
I saw some leaked pictures of a Droid 5 and Im intrested in getting it but only if M/G has changed their openness....
Thank you

Childish comments aside, the point is that everyone can unlock their bootloader.
From what Ive seen in Motorola's site, there is a tool to unlock the Moto X bootloader. Does that work on all Moto X phones? This would really get development going...
AT&T and Verizon users will NOT have access to the bootloader unlock service.

Which is why they have specific Developer Edition phones for both AT&T and Verizon for people who DO want to unlock their bootloaders. Which would surprise me if it makes up of 1% of the population that the Moto X is targeting.
Maybe we should start a bounty similar to the one going for the Verizon HTC One to get the Moto X bootloader unlocked.

Seems as though the rogers Canadian version is the developer edition, bootloader is unlockable plus there's absolutely no rogers branding on the back and front of the phone at all, the only 3 Rogers apps can be removed easily, my suggestion would be find a contact up here in the great white north and have them buy you one

You would have to order that from Moto themselves and at the full price. Plus it will be a 32gb version. It will have a Black face with a White back that says Developer Edition on it.

Any News/Rumors of 4.3 coming soon

title says it all. just wondering if anyone has seen new/rumors of android 4.3 coming for our moto x soon. i seen an article that said it would be sooner than later but that was the only thing i could find.
was wondering the same thing. with the N5 coming out soon though i'm wondering if they are looking to skip to kitkat
The only thing I can think of in 4.3 that would benefit users is TRIM support, but the Moto X already has that: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7235/moto-x-review/9
On other Moto devices we had an app that would check Moto dev servers for leaked builds. The Atrix got unlocked that way. Can't we try that on this device?

4.3 libs are much much better than 4.2 but they are probably just skipping to kitkat

I doubt they're skipping 4.3. There was a 4.3 leak.

Anyone seeing anything for VZW?

Dumb noon questions

I ordered my Moto X on Saturday through moto maker. Its a Verizon retail version. Any idea if 4.4 will come on it? If I don't have 4.4 is there anything I should do before accepting the update? My understanding is the the bootloader on the VZW Moto X retail version has not been unlocked by anyone yet. I am interested in obtaining an unlocked boot loader and root if possible if only for options down the road. I have been seeing tools like RockMyMoto or something on here...what are those all about. These options seem a lot different from what I am used to on my nexus, could really use a brief introduction to my new device. If I am missing a key topic, a link would be super cool.
Thanks!

i just received my verizon phone today and come with 4.2 so you can still using rockmymoto in case that you want to root
It's supposed to be on the path to 4.4 however I wouldn't expect it until early next year but I might be wrong but that's when vzw releases big updates it seems.

Just got mine today. 4.4 was not installed but it started the download on its own. I didn't realize it until it had already downloaded.

When, I cannot say for sure. Likely very soon. As to why, this gizmodo article gives an excellent explaination:

it depends. The updates for the X seem to be rotating as to which carrier gets it first. The one Update, Verizon was first. Another Sprint was first. This one T-Mobile/GSM Unlocked is first.
But there is no "set amount of time"
Since they sell these phone for free with contact... We might not ever get an update from att...

There is already a topic regarding this, why create another?
I just am not getting the excitement here, what will 4.4.4 do seriously?
I think Motorola just tried to be smart by announcing it ages before actual release. So that people will bless their p***y for being 'so fast' on updates. I am greatly annoyed by this.
Update takes time to rollout they update according to serial numbers in batches.

Looks like your sources were wrong. 3 Tuesdays have come & gone since the announcement on 7th July.
Also "second Tuesday of next week"?? [emoji57]
The 4.4.4 update is available in Mexico and there is a firmware available to flash, take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/update-moto-x-mexico-to-4-4-4-vzn-firm-t2828190
