Motorola Droid Ultra, Maxx and Mini to get Android 4.4.4 KitKat update skipping 4.4.3


Motorola is giving Android KitKat 4.4.4 update to Droid Ultra, Maxx and Mini. The company is skipping 4.4.3 update entirely on all these devices. All of these device users were eagerly waiting for the update which has been cancelled by Motorola in order to work on the latest update which will take some more time.

Sorry for the delay in giving an update on the 4.4.3 upgrades but I had to wait unit Google announced KitKat 4.4.4 today (I am bound by a NDA). A significant security vulnerability was discovered by OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt) and is fixed in KitKat 4.4.4. We had to wait until KitKat 4.4.4 became available. Consequently, all of our 4.4.3 upgrades that were in carrier labs worldwide (including the 2013 Droid’s) had to be respun, tested and resubmitted again. This was a significant unplanned effort that we had to undertake. We should be re-entering labs next week and hopefully getting TA (technical approval) in 3 to 5 weeks later depending on the carrier.

The Android 4.4.4 update came shortly after Google rolled out the Android 4.4.4 update on a number of Nexus devices. Also, Motorola’s latest handsets like the Moto G, X and E started receiving the 4.4.3 update recently. It is not clear when Motorola will roll out the latest update to these devices.
