Soak test invite? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Just got a invite for new firmware test from Motorola, could this be just small fixes or possibly 4.3? Anyone else get a invite?

Droid-Life states that it is just a patch of some sort, and is still 4.1.2. I didn't get an invite despite getting them in the past.

Thanks, gave my razr to my wife over a year ago and haven't been around much in the razr forums. Didn't think it would be anything to big, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Yeah. I still have mine, but I'm getting ready to retire it.

soon we will all know what moto did to razr for the last time ;p just be patient ;p

I didn't get an invite. No matter to me since there's likely nothing new [exciting] except possibly losing root. Not willing to risk it at this time anyhow.

No Invite either
Despite beign on the Motorola support group.
Regardless, now the RAZR is relegated to my wife. I am just too sick of waiting for nothing from MOTO.
The Devs here have done a great job, but I need the HDMI, and with "Noto" not releasing the code no one has been able to make an updated ROM with HDMI.
Happy with my new Sony xPeria ZL. (Never thought I would go to SONY, but I love the 5" HD screen, Great battery, Great camera)
Good luck with the RAZR's and the soak test. Please post your results/ findings. Maybe it will be worth commign back (but I doubt it)

Unfortunately, only new motos will be upgraded. Moto G is already receiving kit kat, despite being launched nearly 2 months ago

Is that true? The update could break rooting?

I did take the update last night and it did break my root. He's a quick summary:
1. Did a check for updates and was notified that 165 was available. I postponed.
2. Downloaded/installed Voodoo OTA Root Keeper. I backed up root but didn't temp remove it.
3. Uninstalled SS 3.65
4. Installed the 165 update, checked root and it was broken.
5. Tried reinstalling root with voodoo and it wouldn't take.
6. Used Matt's Utility to restore root and it took successfully - I don't know why but for me, Matt's utility only runs if it's unzipped to my C; drive (not my desktop) and I have to put my phone storage in MTP mode, not mass storage.
7. Matt's Utility restored root just fine but when I went ahead and tried reinstalling SS 3.65, I put my phone into a Moto Logo Boot Loop. :crying:
8. Thought I was done for - starting checking on the status of my warranty and insurance deductable but the forums helped dig me out of the mess by getting me to the AP Fastboot screen.
At the end of it I had to completely wipe and reinstall stock JB using Matt's Utility, re-installed the 165 update, re-rooted (again w/ Matt's Utility and NO issues doing so on top of the 165 update) re-installed all user apps, and finally re-installed SS 3.65 with NO issues on top of the 165 update. Haven't re-created a slot 1 and re-loaded CM 11 just yet but i don't expect there to be any issues going further.
In retrospect I think the Moto Logo Boot Loop was a function of something that got corrupted when trying to re-install SS 3.65 on top of it all, perhaps because I dodn't bother to wipe caches or even do a re-start between some of the major steps outlined above.
* I do recommend taking the time to wipe caches and reboot after uninstalling custom recoveries if you're heading down this path.

Oh jeez, that's a horror story right there. I didn't get the invite, but I know I'll avoid it if I do.
