[Q] Do new MotoMaker phones ship with KitKat?

About to order a second X, just curious as to what OS comes preinstalled nowadays? It'll be an AT&T one.

Mine came with 4.2.2. Ordered last week.

I would hope not. A brand new Moto X always comes 4.2.2 equipped. If it comes with 4.4 it probably won't be in a box lol

Yeah, received mine last week and it had 4.2.2 on it.

At least that makes rooting 4.4 one less step!

Two Tmo X's ordered in the cyber monday sale both came with 4.2.2 still too. Instantly offered 4.4 OTA on first boot.

My wife's just got here. It said 4.2.2 and the base number was.51 it was ready for an update to go to .54
I'll do that then root for 4.4!

Got mine Friday with 4.2.

Thanks guys, good to know. I'm not a fan of 4.4 so I'm glad they're still shipping with 4.2.

My moto x that was delivered 12/17 came with 4.4 installed.

i got mine on wed (18th) and it came with 4.4.

Mine arrived on 12/14 with 4.2.2, but immediately updated to 4.4.

Taking s5 back... Note 3 or...

Should I get the note 3 or wait for the note 4 to come out end of this year? What are some suggestions here? I can't stand this phone anymore... No root really sucks

Dude, no root is due to locked bootloader and the fact that all current exploits are for 4.3 and below. If you get a non carrier S5 now thats awesome. Good luck though. I bet the N4 is going to be a killer

note 3 on the last version of 4.3, and all on 4.4.2 are not rooted.
you can basically count on all Samsung carrier phones on ATT and VZW being locked and non rootable.

My wife has note 3 and it has locked bootloader and knoxed up. She's running stock 4.4.2 TW on it.

Yes, new AT&T Note 3 owners with Kitkat are in the same boat as the S5, but there is this. You could also do the same thing with the S5. Unlocked..root...freedom...

There is a sticky to discuss other devices
Please use that
Thanks

Note 4 Lollipop Leak [Q]

So after the leaked video of the S4 running Android 5.0, do you think there will be a leak of the actual software?

I remember when KitKat came out, we got an unofficial leaked version way early.

The changes from kit Kat to lollipop is 128,000 different fixes. I doubt it

Help me assist my coworker

My coworker has a stock AT&T S5 on 5.0 (USA). When she hits the OTA update, it says it's up to date. ...on 5.0. I plugged it into my PC running Smart Switch. It also said it was up to date.
Hasn't this variant been on 5.1.1 since late October? If so, does anyone know how to get it to 5.1.1 without rooting? I'm assuming Odin the stock firmware. But I wanted to check with you guys first.

Is she using AT&T service? The phone will not update unless there is an AT&T sim card in the phone.

She's on AT&T service. Think it could be a bad Sim card?
