if you want to keep root id suggest you wait on the update till its prerooted other wise you will lose root for good untill an exploit is found in gb
Yes, but sbf can still be done to root again.
I'll bet GingerBreak works on it. I've rooted a dozen of phones all different makes and models and versions with that handy all in one program.

This is false information. On the 23rd testers where contacted and told the test was not ready but we would be be notified when it was. So no need to worry about going back stock just yet.

In theory it could work, but the d3 can't be rooted, but then again its using the omap processor, so its time to wait and see

Every android device could be rooted, practically if you know mac, or linux its just typing su (super user, and i believe it might be sudo (superuser do)) does that answer the question, if not then yes
No word about MP3 or video recording issues, either that or I just read too fast and missed it
I think the OP's question was, can he update, or will he receive an update notice if his phone is rooted? I would like to know this as well.
Also, I am confused or not reading a clear answer, will this version be rootable? I think it is 2.3.3...Gingerbread.
I like root on my X2 too much to update right now if there is no root.
Thanks in advance for any clear answers and explanations.
I am so excited I am going to start my sbf now. If they are posting it on their website they have to be really close with it.

I'm about to do the same!
Gingerbreak used to work for rooting Gingerbread but they fixed the exploit in the latest versions. So right now there isn't any way to root. Your best bet is to wait for a custom rom to come out with Gingerbread pre-rooted.
I've been using the 198_6 sbf with no serious issues and was wondering if I should flash the 198_7 sbf. Are there any major enhancements or benefits?
Im wondering the same, Im from Ecuador so I use gsm. Updating will cause any trouble?
Funny, I tried to root like 2 weeks ago and messed it up. I put on 198_7 and my phone as been a dream every since. Bluetooth and Pandora work great. No dropped calls. GREAT battery. Web is fast. Facebook is flawless. Youtube is fast on 3G. Camera is great. Thats why I have "Root no more" in my siggy!
Can anyone see what has been changed in 198_7 compared to 198_6? I know Motorola has not officially released it yet nor have they provided any documentation.
Any guess as to why 198_7 hasn't been OTA'd yet? Do you think M found a problem with it? It was leaked so long ago...
sorry sjamie, I canot answer your question and likely could not tell the difference if I put my mind to it!!! All I can say is, my phone works flawless!
Dsims, did you have any problems with 198_6?

To be honest, I have no clue what I was on before. I rooted and unlocked @ 2 months back. 2 weeks ago EXACTLY today I decided I wanted CM9 for a spin. **** went downhill and Shabby gave me 198_7 and I have been cool every since?
Just keep in mind 2 things, most important, make sure you have 100% battery (I did not, had to cut USB cable and tie white wire to + and black wire to -. You cannot use phone to charge, I have wall charger now) Lastly, you loose everything, just like the day you got it from the Sprint Store!
Sprint/Motorola did officially release 198.7. I know because while in the US the update was pushed to my phone.

Again, I got _7 from Shabby? Tell me a file share and I will put it there immediately (well, Im going to eat, call me at 201-681-5429 and tell me where to put it!) I got ya family!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Motorola nor Sprint officially released 198_7. I do have the SBF for it and will probably flash it due to dsims' sheer enthusiasm!
Loki hosts the SBFs if you want any of them in the future

And yeah I think you guys are right, last I looked at motos support page for the photon (3 days ago) it was _6 as the official.
Do you have to be rooted to flash the latest sbf? My wifes photon has been laggy lately. Especially when opening the app drawer.

Update fails
I noticed that the .181 OTA update was available and decided to download and apply it. Alas, there is no joy in mudville. My (rooted) Razr Maxx reboots and gets about 25% into the process before stalling. It then reboots and announces that the update has failed.
Help anyone?

It's live as of 6:30am in good 'ole SC.
Use mattlgroff's Utility to "Keep root through OTA" although at least one person has reported not needing to use that...supposedly the tool worked just fine to root .181, but that gamble is up to you. ;-)
tCizler & maestro53 - I am new to the RAZR, just got mine yesterday, actually...but you haven't mentioned anything about recoveries...if you're running safestrap, etc. I imagine you will have to restore to stock before the update will work.
But a more informed individual is free to give me a slap upside the head.

I appreciate the suggestions, but like I said I'm stock/rooted. I have done nothing but freeze/defrost and delete/restore apps. Although I did buy it used on eBay, so I can't say for sure what was done with it prior. But there are 4 other people at work with RAZRs. 3 maxxs and one regular. Only one maxx accepted the update. All 4 are stock/rooted

Hmm. Again, take this with a grain of salt, as I am new to the phone, and this is most likely an extreme option...
You could backup your data/apps using the program of your choice (I've found ROM Toolbox to be the best) and then use DRU 1.51 to "sbf" restore to .173.
That's what I did, as I got the phone from a friend who had ICS/safestrap and all sorts of stuff done to it and something in there made my 4G not work so I wanted to start fresh.
That being said, I am only just now about to attempt the update, so I'm putting my foot in a position such that it might be quickly inserted into my mouth, if necessary.
Just got mine. Warner Robins GA.
Also if you have after market recovery it won't install.
I was rooted .173 and took the update. I didn't unroot. Installed correctly and restored root w root keeper. Very nice.
Went through without a hitch here in monroe Michigan stock rooted and also kept root without backing up still looking for the changes but otherwise working great.

I might be insane from staying up all night, but I coulda swore I saw (either on here or on droidrzr) a "rebloating" script that essentially went through and made sure any such changes would be undone.
And cmon, it's not that bad. The restart will be good for ya, get rid of some of those apps you think you need but really don't. ;-)
Anyway...I went ahead and applied the update on stock/unrooted .173, then used DRU 1.51's GB Root option and it completed successfully, Superuser is on my phone and all seems dandy.
So if you're running stock/unrooted .173 it's CONFIRMED that you do NOT need to root and then use Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper app to make sure you'll have root in .181. However, if you're already rooted, I'm not sure what happens.
If I understand correctly how Voodoo works, you may need to use Voodoo in order for the update to complete successfully. tCizler, have you tried that?
Now I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do from here haha...With this update, will I be unable to install most ROMs or should this have no effect on that?
EDIT:
tCizler...I realize I'm firing shots in the dark here, but you may wish to check out this thread. My apologies if it doesn't apply.

I wouldn't... It may be the same build, but you never know if there might be some teeny tiny tweaks, and we still don't know if leaks take you off the upgrade path (I've only heard that it MIGHT be possible)...

Is it safe to assume the update breaks root?
Currently I have an update for 3.6 something but it fails every time...I think because I removed some apps like Madden and other "non-deletable" apps. How do i fix this so I can apply ICS?

I would assume so. Some haven't in the past but since this is such an expansive update, I would expect it to break root. Just my opinion.

You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work you may have to fastboot. I'm curious about the "3.6" , what did you mean? RAZR doesn't have a 3.6 version number.

ok thanks, I seen the warnings not to put the OTA on, but stock roms are pretty much good for me the only reason I switched form that 3 year old HTC DNA was that the battery was dying out pretty fast now when playing games on it. Had to get back to something with a swappable battery.
