Motorola started pushing out the Android 4.4 Kit Kat update for the Motorola Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx back in December, although the update was paused after a number of users reported issues with the release.
Motorola did not officially confirm that the update had been pulled at the time, and now it would appear that it has started rolling out to the Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx again.
Background on the Android 4.4 Kit Kat Update
The Android 4.4 Kit Kat update brought a host of new features and improvements to the Android operating system. These included a more polished user interface, enhanced performance, and new functionalities such as immersive mode, which allows apps to use the entire screen. Additionally, Kit Kat introduced smarter caller ID, improved Google Now integration, and a revamped Hangouts app that consolidated SMS and MMS messages.
However, the initial rollout for the Motorola Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx was met with significant issues. Users reported that their devices were being bricked, rendering them unusable. This led to Motorola pausing the update to investigate and resolve the problems.

The new rollout aims to provide a stable and improved experience for users, addressing the critical bugs that were previously encountered.
