Soak test v2
- Thread starter justpastfinish
- Start date
Well that is a huge let down. I was hoping for a new build, specifically a new radio to address some issues with using the phone on T-Mobile. Looks like they did indeed just tweak the update script, or not change anything at all.
That makes sense. Otherwise they'd have to develop an OTA to bring the people already updated to KK up to this level. It's a lot smarter to get everybody at one build and then update that.
Of course, I'm not sure that Verizon gives a rat's ass about using the phone on T-Mobile anyway...
I would imagine the reason It doesn't work is because either there is no radio for Sprints voice/text cell network or it is not turned on. The Droids are a Verizon exclusive. I'm sure they don't care that the phone does not work 100% on a competitors network and even if Motorola cared Verizon would never allow the radio for another network to be turned on.
BTW Just did the final survey... looks like the soak is over.
I don't know about anyone else but my phone works great on KK
I'm not a lawyer but I'll take your word for it that they are "turned on by law". However....so what? The radios being on doesn't mean Motorola has to "fix" it to actually work on a carrier other than the one that sold it. They probably don't even consider this a bug and if they do I can't see them giving any kind of priority to it...or care. Hope it works for you but when you go down this road, by definition you end up pretty much on your own.
Truth but I'm sure this big also applies to global users. So who knows maybe they will fix it

If you got this today they are probably starting the roll out... you are going to love it!
I am excited. Gonna read around and make sure I don't mess up keeping root! Should be easy as long as I read and follow directions.

The only reason I can think of that "Legally" they would need to have other radios active is for 911 calls. It is quite possible that the software can limit off carrier calls to 911 in case of emergencies.
Negative. Its a FCC requirement for all phones utilizing the specific bands/spectrum verizon is using IIRC. VZW can no longer carrier lock per FCC

Well you have 2 options well really one fxz since your not sure if the 4.4 ota took I would try to fxz 4.2.2 if it fails then you updraded to 4.4 but it got borked some how. So you then fxz 4.4 here is a link to the 4.4 fxz https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_iSspAoaC1VWXl6TmczZy04bFU/edit?pli=1 I know it says it is for the dev edition but doesn't matter. The maxx and dev maxx OS are identical only difference is you can unlock boot loader on dev edition. This should get you up and running again.1
I agree- I'm on rooted 4.2.2, although I did remove write protection because I was going to upgrade to 4.4 and keep root, just hadn't gotten around to re-flashing 4.2.2 then slapping it yet. I guess now I'll wait to see if there are any significant differences between this new soak test version and the last, and see if root can be maintained through the update process.1Ugh. Here we go again! Wonder how many bricks we'll get from THIS one!?
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
