There are a lot of things that Motorola Droid 4 XT894 does well and better than other devices of its kind. And yet, there is one thing that misses from the picture: an update to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with Avatar 3.0.1 Nightly custom ROM. And this is our duty for today: to provide you with all the necessary utensils which are going to have your Motorola Droid 4 XT894 upgraded. The whole process only needs some steps. But before that, it needs you to prepare the smartphone for what’s to come with a set of requirements.

Requirements

What this upgrade has in store for all users of the Motorola Droid 4 contains advantages such as no bugs, better stability, better performance and so on. The update will also deliver the kind of features that are required for its well-being. However, every update solution comes with a small glitch; which can be solved if you update the smartphone to software released by the manufacturer or if you install stock Android firmware instead. That small glitch is as follows: the device is going to lose its factory warranty. So do as we said to get this very important of your handset back. Those pre-requisites we mentioned briefly above are below:

• root the Motorola Droid 4;
• get a custom recovery image on this smartphone (CWM Recovery and TWRP are two of the best ones, so opt for one of them and install it on the handset after you root it);
• use a laptop or personal comp which runs Windows (or flash CrossOver Utility for a laptop/PC whose OS is either Mac or Linux);
• make backups via these instructions (we recommend you to also make a full NANDroid backup);
• charge your phone’s battery;
• use only Motorola’s Droid 4 XT894;
• turn on USB Debugging on the latter;
• also make sure its antivirus programs (and other software that offers protection against all kinds of threats) are all turned off;
• go to your notebook and do the same as above.
