I'm currently on Eclipse and L.O.V.E. it. All this talk about ICS going OTA Wednesday is making me drool a little. I'm debating on jumping right in or waiting till a nice dev will make a good ICS ROM based on the update. BTW, did I mention I love the Eclipse ROM? heh
On a side note, as a person with a non-stock ROM on my phone, will I need to go back to stock to get the OTA, and if so is "going back to stock" that "Option 1" on Matts' RazrUtility? Once going back to stock, then root, then rootkeeper, then temp un-root while update is happening, then restore root?
Thanks for the advise and info.
If you want ICS so badly, upgrade to the OTA. It shouldnt take long for a dev build of ICS though.
And yes, if you want the OTA, you have to flash back to stock.
I would wait, u have to stock and then root again. Lets wait for kejar and his Gummy Release. I will stay and wait these 2 or 3 days

I think so. Days ago he allready released a 4.0.4 Testbuild. A second one is in progress I think. Check over at goo.im Team Gummy Spyder Releases.
You'll need to be on the OTA to use anything they do anyway. There's a new kernel, bootloader, radio, etc. that you can't flash through bootstrap.

ok, so this might sound N00bish, but i wanted to know when the Atrix ICS update rolls out, will i be able to update OTA with an unlocked bootloader?
Nobody knows the answers to your questions. Motorola is keeping this under tight wraps, for all we know know, we may be done with at gb, and the only way to get ics is with unofficial roms.
I am only speculating at this point, but I would assume having an unlocked boot loader should have no effect on the update, but if u can install a custom rom , why bother with the bloat ware?

If you are anything but stock, i.e. rooted, frozen/deleted any Blur apps, etc., you won't be able to OTA until you are back to stock again. As for the unlocked bootloader, no idea if that will stop you.
Motorola has "officially" added the Atrix to the ICS update list:

Just an FYI, I agree that staying with a custom ROM is the way to go.

My mom said Santa Claus was real too......
Just flash CM9 now or wait until Neutrino CM9 comes out and you'll have ICS and no junk/bloat with it.
^^^ Agreed and I'm sure moto-ics won't be that great anyhow.

thanks everyone for the answers, i think ill stick to CM9 and plus the backup of the stock ROM is almost 4 months old lol (I.E lots of apps missing if they do release the official update, at that point there will be a CM11 coming out with Jelly Bean

Most people know that Moto-ICS wont be that great...what we are looking forward are the official ICS Tegra 2 drivers for our device, so we can actually have a fully working and stable CM9 rom.
So, what happens to a rooted phone when the official update to ics comes out? Will you be able to update through Verizon, or will a dev need to work on it first? I know there are some great ics roms out there already, but what if you wanted to try the stock update? My wife also has a rezound and she won't let me "mess" with hers.
Thanks!

use ruu and go back to stock for the update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466474
go here and do #1~3
for #3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=58
go here and download and use this file
this one is the lastest stock ruu.
One of two options:
1. If you are already rooted, wait for a Dev to build a ROM based on the OTA so you can safely flash it.
2. You can unroot/relock your phone to accept the OTA update.
The problem with # 2 is the current methods to achieve root may not work on the updated software so it is possible to be stuck without root for awhile (unless someone finds a work-around).
The way I understand it is simple. You will be able to upgrade to a rooted is rom, however you will not be able to update the radios if you are s-on. I'm Gonna hold out. There will be an unlock tool after ics drops...whether same day or eventually.
A rooted version of the OTA rom will be released within a couple hours of the OTA.
I'm going to be trading my nexus for a razr maxx. What should I look out for to make sure that this device is STOCK and is on the OTA path? Any other spots or defects I should know about before taking the plunge and avoid a lemon?
Not sure I understand your concerns, but if it's a brand new device out of the box you will be just fine.

Well I'm trading with a guy off Craigslist and I want to make sure he didn't screw up rooting / unlocking it and that's why he's trading it
Even if he did screw up something, the fastboot files are available to return to the current stock version. Also, the current stock version can be rooted.
So no matter what boot loader or radio a razr is on it can be returned to factory stock and on the OTA route?
Is the stock razr build on 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?
Sorry for the paranoia but my friend has a bionic and he's had problems with the whole rooting thing

The maxx is fantastic. You can just RSD it to. 173. You can install the ics leak if you would like and still be able to RSD it back to. 173 when a better ota drops.
Extremely easy to root. Cwm isn't really necessary for you to have a great phone. Even stock is nice
Well thank you all for the great info, Are there any other things I should
Look at before trading? Going back to GB is going to be a bummer but I need a phone to last me all day, damnit!
Just look forward to having amazing battery life! I actually did the exact same switch you did and haven't looked back. I installed an ICS rom though and it runs smooth as butter.

I think I avg 6 + hours screen on time and usually charge every 18 ish hours. You won't be dissatisfied. I may not have all the apps some people do but I use the crap out of my phone. The maxx is everything you heard and more. I'm getting these times on the ics leak.
So far I'm loving the battery life, however my device is on 173 and not 181, and the update button says I'm on the latest version... any way to force the update or should I stay patient?

You're on the latest version. .181 has not been pushed out yet. I'm actually a part of the soak group, but have not gotten the OTA.

I forgot to say that I am on the ics leak and am getting the ridiculous battery life I was posting. If you can't wait flash the leak. Can always rsd back and be on the path once the latest ics drops. So far so good here. Just have to do the basic maintenance apps and only freeze apps unless you really decide they are in your way. If your rooted and on .173 just freeze them. If an update become available make sure you don't have a recovery installed, while the update is downloading get ota root keeper if you don't already have it, temp unroot and unfreeze all those apps. Then accept the update. Restore root w ota root keeper and your good to go
Not to detract from XDA but a whole crap load of dev work is going on over at droidrzr.com and droidhive.com.
The razr at this time has some of the best dev's in the business. I'd stay on 173 stock and either install the ICS leak w/ DroidTh3ory's ICS leak mod and ICS leak bootstrap or stay on 173, root, install hashcode's safestrap and run Dhacker's Axiom ICS ROM or Kejar's Gummy rom.

ETA: I read that reply wrong. My apologies, but none the less read what I wrote below this if you want to install the ICS leak. Sorry about that.
To properly install the ICS leak you can't temp unroot. OP, just go over to the droidrzr site and go to this thread.....

So I've S-off'd, running the ICS leaked firmware, on the CleanRom Kang Tapped Edition. I have no desire to actually run the official ICS release for very long but I'd like to give it a try while all our awesome developers are updating their ROM's. I know back in the day of the Eris, I'd have to be back on the stock release with all apk's in their proper places to get the OTA, does that still apply? I don't have to give up my S-off do I (the wire trick took me forever)?

when the ics comes out, use the 2.01.605.11 gb ruu.
Thanks for the responses, but that's not what I'm looking for.
I know there isn't an ICS OTA out yet. I'm wondering what state my phone would need to be in to get the actual OTA from VZW. I know once it's released I can install the RUU but I'm going to busy for the next few days so I was looking to see what I could do to get my phone to receive the actual VZW OTA if/when they send it.
Well, on second thought, I don't think I am experienced on the Rezound to give you good advise.
Edit: Deleted advise.

Noticeable diffrence is that RAZR and RAZR MAXXX in USA will get the ICS update in Q2. Before the update it was still in development stage!
Last information in Germany is the end of June, when the Maxx is going to sell in shops.
It was looking more and more like the May 21st - 23rd rollout was the real deal with the latest leaks, but this just made it REALLY real... Time will tell, but I'm rolling back to 181 now, to be safe...
Thanks for posting OP! I'm a giddy lil b!#@h all over again!

When it is available OTA, should I just use Matt's utility 1.51 to AP Fastboot back to 173 to get the OTA (currently on Eclipse ROM .173 base)? All I need to do is titanium backup, use option 1 on his utility, then root it, ota rootkeeper, then ota it right?
Do I uninstall bootstrapper or will the fastboot back to 173 take care of that?
I was already having a great day, last day as a sophomore in school, and now hearing /official/ RAZR ICS news...best day since getting this phone!

You'll need to let it update to 181 first, then to ICS. I'm not sure about retaining root, I went back to plain unrooted stock. Matt's tool was what I used to roll back, but I was running the 75 ICS leak. If you're running 84+, you may be stuck with it for a bit...

roll out in Q2 means it will be within the next 6 weeks to meet that, which makes that verizon screen grab look real, Here to hoping for OTA ICS within the week. Been sitting on bone stock Gingerbread since I got the phone in february waiting for official ICS before I did anything. I'm doing a manual update check every night so I can grab it as soon as possible.
What does all this mean for us GSM RAZR owners North of the boarder? Should we be able to get this update prior to our carriers release. Haven't heard anything about ICS hitting Rogers customers.

I've never rooted, but might need to in the next 4 weeks. Should I go through the process of:
Root...install root keeper...then unroot awaiting the OTA roll-out?
Or will there likely be root available for stock OTA ICS within a week or so after its roll out?
Also, with prior OTA updates my apps remained installed. With ICS will I have to manually re-install all apps? this would be another reason to root, as Titanium is better than the non-root options for back-up of apps and data.
The main reason I want to be rooted is that I'm hoping to get my Droid Razr to work with a UK sim while abroad. Otherwise, I generally happy with stock, and have so many apps that I worry about going too custom.

Well Rootkeeper worked on keeping root when updating to the ICS leak, so I assume it will work when downloading the official ICS OTA.
If it doesn't a root method will probably surface in a week.
I doubt the official OTA will make you get rid of your apps, just the leak cause of incompatibility issues or something.
Just when I finished my angers course, I saw this post.
