Problems with Kitkat on RAZR M

[ronsch]

I just upgraded my RAZR M to Kitkat and everything seemed to go fine.  However, now I just get "Homescreen has stopped" errors repeatedly.  Clicking OK restarts homescreen which then promptly stops again,.  Tried a reboot but that didn't help??

No need to worry ronsch! I have just the option to get this resolved. It simply sounds like the update was not properly installed. To correct this issue please complete a full restore/reset on the device after all of your info is backed up. Once this reset occurs you should no longer receive the notification. Please keep us posted if any issues occur after this process is completed. Have a great evening!

I eventually contacted Tier 2 support over the phone and they walked me through the power/volume button hard reset which did indeed fix the problem while leaving Kitkat in place.  Thanks to Google backup, I didn't lose a single app and it even restored my wi-fi password.  Phone seems to be working fine now.
