I just hope they don't take too long. The upgrade will be well appreciated.

RAZR M to get official KitKat 4.4 by Motorola

Not exactly. It's not possible to relock that we know of. It's very possible they could modify the bootloader to ignore that Qfuse. Or do some other shenanigans to make it relock. I'm sure it's possible though

Way to be abuzz-kill reasonably well thought out person.
Now my glass is half empty.
You're probably right.

But they'd have to be able to modify our bootloader without borking the DEV edition 905. Wouldn't that be more trouble than its worth?

Lol yeah that was a bit of a buzz kill wasn't it?
Seeing as we've had 2 updates and they haven't done anything about that, I'm cautiously optimistic. As always though, if I do an update on stock, I wait for people to rip it apart and figure out if I would do anything unfortunate like re-locking the bootloader.
And about the Dev edition - it wouldn't really matter... Legit Dev edition users could probably just redo an OEM unlock via their site after the update. Inconvenient, yes, but do you think VZW cares about that?

What is all this im reading of the Droid M not re-locking? I thought if i had been BL unlocked already and installed any of the recent updates, i would be BL locked again and permanently this time.
4.4 is sweet, but we dont even have 4.2, so how is going to roll out? Straight to 4.4, i dont think so. If this happens itll be in while.

They don't re-lock bootloaders through OTA updates. They only prevent lock bootloaders from using the unlock exploit.
Why not? It doesn't matter what android version you have. You could update to any version, hence flashing custom ROM's.

@ATTACK is correct. It's more logical for them to skip 4.2 and 4.3 and go straight to 4.4. They wouldn't waste time updating to an older version of Android when they've already said that it will be updated to 4.4.
Yeah, being unlocked myself I am looking forward to customs without screen tearing and lag issues once devs appropriate the new kernel.
Or heck, a stock de-bloated would be great too!

Duh. I use 4.2 launcher apk... But you lose the circles widget and transparent navigation bar on the homescreen
The launcher and google chrome = laggy reviews
Thanks for trying to be positive about it. How can an awesome device be so lame I don't get it

Well see what magic the devs can work though.
There is an app on the market, DynamicNotifications, which does this in a simplified/not as good looking way as well. At least on mine the icon is a bit jagged.

I do recommend that everyone on an unlocked consumer device wait whenever this update hits. Not only could they find a way to bypass the unlock, but for all we know there could be a way for them to see a consumer device unlocked and just lock the whole thing.
Personally, I'll be waiting for a nice dev to give us a stock rom based on 4.4 that is verified safe. Let someone with expertise look under the hood before we all jump on the bus.

Regardless of what anyone says I'm waiting for a CM or AOKP of 4.4, so I'm good any way you slice it.

The update page says it is getting 4.4 on both the consumer and Dev editions, yes.

So... anyone else excited?

Sent from my DROID RAZR M using Tapatalk3To anyone who is boot loader UNLOCKED: CWM and ROOT are available for KK. Read a few pages back and find ATTACK's post about it. But i also cater to the lazy:
CWM (Technically for the HD but works for M): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2747535
Root: Download SuperSu from here http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu ; Copy the zip to your SD card ; Go to CWM that you installed from above and flash it. Ta-da.
Thanks from me to anyone who posted in the thread about these two topics, i would be lost without them!!2I think u misunderstood. Unlocked bootloader will remain unlocked. It's root access that is being disabled by the update. Once you take the update you will lose root if you don't back it up with voodoo, because you can't take the update with a rooted phone. It has to be stock.
