the smartest thing to do is to wait a little longer , the official update is next week normally and cm 10.1 will also be released after the official release

Ah cool, i did not know that, just that it would be in the first quarter of 2013, if its next week i will of cause wait.
Does my rooting survive the upgrade or do i have to root again?

No survivors till now... they all died but, there is some kind of "artificial insemination" that make it re-born
Yes, you'll need to root it again but in V20A its easier, hope it works for the official one.
Just wondering the mess that it will be next week around here...
When V20A leaked, it was a new post every minute. with the official one out, Jesuuuuuusssssss!!! :angel:

Is the official upgrade out yet, is it, is it, is it
Also if it is does it still have the unlocked bootloader, or was that only a feature of the beta?

No, it isn't.

Is it possible to root my phone?

Please excuse if this has been beaten to death. I've spent the last hour reading and reading an I've just gotten confused. I was heavily into the Android world for quite a while but have been out of it for a couple years. I bought my son a Droid Mini which from what I understand is pretty much the same thing as a Moto X. In the settings menu it says Android Version 4.4 Kernal Version 3.4.42-gfae57e0. I just need to root it. I'm not concerned about flashing ROMs, just need root for an app that requires it. Is it possible or do I need to get a different phone? I must have a root. Again please excuse the noob question but I've gotten a headache trying to make heads or tales of it.

No it is not possible to root 4.4 however you have an option there is a guy in China selling bootlloader unlock codes I bought mine and unlocked there are several threads on this site so check it out. The other option is to return the phone and get one you can root or a dev model.

I guess I'll go that route then. I bought my second hand so returning isn't an option. Can you link me to a thread?
I feel so lost. My last Android two Androids were an EVO and a Droid OG, I feel so lost now. Had a ton of ROMs on those but wow things have changed.

What? 4.4 and lower can be rooted, 4.4.2 cannot.

Under Android version it says 4.4. But is also says no software updates are available.... Kernal version says 3.4.42 that makes a difference. Guess the question is do I have 4.4 or 4.4.2. If .2 is the latest it should show under updates correct? Or maybe not since it's a Mini and not an X?

Don't give this guy false hope without reading the OP. He does not have a moto x, He has a droid mini. The droid line cannot be downgraded from 4.4 to 4.2.2, thus his only option is to use the shady Chinese unlockers.

You should get your rooting advice from this area of the forums, it will more closly resemble the options you have available to your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra
VZW droid mini ,ultra, and maxx are all still on 4.4. They cannot be downgraded due to verizon locking the bootloader. You will get confused answers from the moto x owners, as they could downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2.2 and then keep root using some trickery.
While it is true that this trickery would work to on your droid mini if you hadnt yet updated to 4.4, there is no way to revert to 4.2.2 on your device. your best option getting an unlock code from a 3rd party (this voids your warranty)
consider if it is worth it to you
Good luck,

You can't root 4.4 the droid line doesn't have 4.4.2 yet so your on 4.4.
As for the guys being shady selling the code that is absolutely false. Many have bought the code they are very accommodating and helpful. As a matter of fact a few were not able to get the code for what ever reason and were refunded the money. As far as I'm concerned if you want root unlock the boot loader it ain't coming anytime soon.
And further questions should be asked in the ultra section the ultra maxx and mini are the same. The moto x is 99.9% the same but as you can see there are a few differences like they can downgrade 4.4.
As a matter of fact I'm typing this on my maxx running 4.4.2 ported from a moto x. That is what you can do with an unlocked boot loader.

It is possible! I am now the owner of a fully rooted Droid Mini XT1030 running stock 4.4. It took buying a code from the Chinese tab site and a whole lot of help from NWKENT. He should be nominated for some kind of an award. He took the time on a Sunday morning to talk me through it on the phone. He's a saint in my book.

[Q] NFC Lollipop Crash on M7

Hi
NFC was not working after updating to lollipop -> It is allways crashing when reading a card.
I had to downgrade Android to 4.4.3 For having it working.
I would like to know if an lollipop ROM works with NFC correctly ?
My system :
HTC One M7
Android : 4.4.3
HTC Sence : 6.0
Version software 4.0.4
Nivel API de HTC SDK 6.25
(insert COin)

Did you uprade the Firmware to the latest version? Im talking about the Firmware not the Rom.
and did you a fullwipe in recovery before flashing Rom?
I dont have any issues with NFC.

Wich Firmware ? I'm not sure to understand you.
I had an official instalation of android until beeing automaticly updated to Lolilpop. From there, NFC is craching. So I looked how to downgrade and find a ROM "insertcoin-m7_4.0.4" that I had instaled.
Now it's working, but I would enjoy having a newer version for my HTC that works very well.
Coulod I instal any ROM I want with a correct firmware that works with NFC or is it coming with ROM ?
(Sorry for my little or absent knowledge, we are all newbies at the begining )

I red that in "github" :
I am thankful for your efforts ikarus. The day I upgraded to lollipop I contacted HTC as well and they told me they couldn't be sure if the error is caused by the firmware or the apps, even when I told them I had tried around 6 different apps from the store. I'm talking about one month ago. They said an official HTC app must be used to determine whether the NFC feature works or not but, ironically, there is not such official app. At the end they recommended to wait until the developers troubleshooted this but I think that at this point this very clear it is their firmware's fault.
I think you all would agree this is frustrating. One waits for an OS upgrade for months and when it comes things stop working. To make it even worse, the vendor announces there won't be more updates for M7 and you end up regretting to upgrade your phone. I even asked HTC fora way to revert to kit at, but they said it is not possible.
So, while they fix this, that will take months if they finally do it, do any of you know how to revert M7 to 4.4? Lollipop is rubbish anyway, for its battery consumption and it's there is no way to stop notifications vibration. I know this is a bit off topic, but I am desesperated here and could not find help in forums.

[Q] Please Help Me (Support Needed)

Hello, I just wanted to say I just made an account and this site looks awesome but anyways lets get into the problem.
So, I have recently flashed my ATT Galaxy S5 to a stock 4.4.2 ROM because I was having troubles with updating to Lollipop, Now that I have contacted ATT, I am now outside the boundaries of ATT and they said I am "on my own" because I decided to mess with the firmware and such. I also want to inform you that I am pretty techy and I am really good with modding and stuff like that so I am not dumb, I am just new into the "exploiting" "modding" "hacking" smart phones, I had a past history on modding and jailbreaking famous CFW for the PS3.
I need someone to explain to me step by step on how to flash to Lollipop since I can't get it over the air and having att not wanting to support me because I changed and altered the firmware. I want to get the best modified version of Lollipop and the best one you guys recommend. I need help, I am basic as of now and need help on flashing my phone to a good lollipop firmware.
Currently, I am on KitKat 4.4.2 and yes, STILL on 4.4.2, I am really behind on the updates and I need help on getting Lollipop and at this point, I don't care about custom firmware, I just want something bad ass, and since I joined the exploiting and flashing custom ROMS, I am here to start to have fun with the benefits you can do with flashing custom ROMS.
Reply and help me step by step on how to flash to Lollipop, I seen the Twisted Lollipop, that looked cool.
But keep in mind that I am still on kitkat 4.4.2

If you didn't take the ota use this.

You don't want the update man.. You will lock up your bootloader.
Also even if u never plan root... It's still best to stay with KitKat. Lolipoop imposes stricter permissions and you will have less control over the device.
I wish I could go back.. My phones updated and now I'm stuck.
If you truly do want to upgrade... Do it threw a manual process that will allow you to change later if you choose.. The ota update is the last thing you want

[ALE-L21] Android 6.0 Official Update?

Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.
