Root KitKat official update coming soon?

Speaking hypothetically since I am still not sure we will actually get an update to KitKat (lol), it will be an OTA (over the air) update and you will get a notification prompting you to download and install it. If/when you get that notification, agree to the download but don't let the update reboot your device. Then do as I mentioned earlier to capture the update and prevent installation.

Will do. I created a dropbox account to have a way to upload it. Hopefully it's something I can use soon! :D

A little off topic, but I updated my phone recently (manually) and now I have service here at my house and at my shop as when before I had NOTHING!!!! When I got home, I basically told people not to call me on my cell, but call me on my home phone... IDK, did boost do something? I'm still on the same PRL.

what do you mean "manually" you sure you installed a rom for the right device and it was complete?

Message: Hello,

I use a Boost (ZTE) Warp 4G & it's currently on Android version 4.1.2
(Jelly Bean). Now, I was recently just looking through the phone
specifications on the Boost Mobile website and it's saying that the
phone runs on the newest Android version 4.4 (Kit Kat). Since I am
currently running on 4.1.2, either this is not true in-general or it's
not true for me (Which would make me pretty upset!). However, I was just
wondering if you could give me some details on if the phone is actually
running Android 4.4 and I'm the outcast or if there's an upcoming update
on the phone to the Android 4.4 software. Thanks and I'd appreciate it
if I could get some answers. Thank you for your communication!

Is your phone the Warp 4G? And does it have STOCK KitKat? If it is then contact SuperR and let him know you have a Warp 4G with KitKat and he'll help you out I bet! And can you post some screenshots.
