NOTE: DO NOT panic if you get any errors, and do not stray from these steps. If you have a concern, please post in the thread and I will get back to you in a timely fashion, or someone else will help you. The only way you will mess yourself up is if you wing it at any point, like panicking when your .181 fastboot errors occasionally, or "freezes".
Files you'll need:- Modified Droid Razr Utility 1.6 - Credits to G8orDroid & Mattlgroff @ DroidRZR (required)
- The update file for the ICS Leak you want to install (required) - no link because there's always a new one around the corner and I don't wanna update the OP every two days. Ask in the thread if you need it.
If you're on .181 or earlier (GB), OR on an ICS leak prior to .84, such as .79 or .75...
-------MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS AT LEAST AT 50% BATTERY BEFORE YOU INSTALL. I ACTUALLY RECOMMEND 75% OR 100%, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST BE AT 50% OR YOU RISK HAVING TO HOTWIRE YOUR RAZR TO CHARGE IT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG/TOO SLOW. BE CAUTIOUS!!!-------
- PUT THE UPDATE FILE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST.
You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.
- Turn on USB Debugging.
- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 Modified .bat file.
- Press any button after ADB starts up. Then type in 15 and press enter, and follow the onscreen instructions to reboot into AP Fastboot (bootloader).
- Return to the main menu.
- Type 1 and press enter twice.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to Fastboot to .181 using Modified Droid RAZR Utility to make sure you're completely stock and the update will go through.
- Turn your phone off.
- Turn your phone back on, holding VOL UP + VOL DWN.
- Use VOL DWN to go down to "Recovery", and then VOL UP to select it.
- Press VOL UP+VOL DWN to bring up the recovery menu once an image pops up after the rebooted phone's Motorola logo.
- Use VOL UP+VOL DWN to navigate to "apply update from external storage", then press PWR.
- Use VOL UP+VOL DWN to navigate to the update file (named BlurVersion____________ unless you changed it.), then press PWR.
- You should get no errors, and the phone should install the update successfully. Congrats, you're on ICS!
- I recommend factory resetting here to be safe, but you don't have to.
- Use VOL UP+VOL DWN to navigate to "reboot phone", then press PWR to leave recovery.
- Reroot if you want, using the guide at the bottom of the post.
If you're on .181 or earlier (GB), OR on an ICS leak prior to .84, such as .79 or .75... But the above instructions gave you a sideload error...

- PUT THE UPDATE FILE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.
- Turn on USB Debugging.
- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 Modified .bat file.
- Press any button after ADB starts up. Then type in 15 and press enter, and follow the onscreen instructions to reboot into AP Fastboot (bootloader).
- Return to the main menu.
- Type 1 and press enter twice.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to Fastboot to .181 using Modified Droid RAZR Utility to make sure you're completely stock and the update will go through.
- Pick up your phone, and skip setup as it is futile at this point. You'll just want to turn on USB Debugging.
- On your computer, return to the main menu.
- Type 3 and press enter. Follow the directions to root your phone. It should reboot three times total.
- Install ROM Manager from the Play Store (no need for premium if you don't want it)
- DO NOT CLICK INSTALL RECOVERY, AND DO NOT INSTALL BOOTSTRAP
- Copy the update file and the .crc to /cache using a file manager of your choosing with root permissions if you did not already do so.
- Open /cache in a file browser of your choosing that will prompt you which application to use instead of opening the .zip file itself (ES File Explorer seems most popular - remember that you'll have to go enable root permissions in settings to even get to /cache, though!)
- Tap on the .zip and open it with ROM Manager
- Don't check anything in the popup and reboot recovery
- It will flash and finish
- Done! I recommend factory resetting again here. Reroot if you want using the guide at the bottom of the post.
If you're on a previous ICS leak, above .79

- PUT THE UPDATE FILE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST.
You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.
- Turn on USB Debugging (pull down the notification panel, tap the wrench, go all of the way down to developer options, tap that, then make sure USB debugging is checked).
- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 Modified .bat file.
- Press any button after ADB starts up. Then type in 15 and press enter, and follow the onscreen instructions to reboot into AP Fastboot (bootloader).
- Wait for your phone to get to the black screen with white text; then return to the main menu on the Utility.
- Type 2 and press enter. Wait for the restore to finish, and you will automatically reboot into recovery.
You are now on what we coined "Psuedo-.181" - some weird hybrid of GB and ICS files. Your phone will not boot at this point. This utility also installs the .210 kernel, so you're ready to go to the next step.
- You can close the utility now. Pick up your phone.
- Press VOL DWN + VOL UP to bring up the text on the recovery menu once you see the Android with an open control panel stomach.
- Navigate down to "Apply update from external SD"
- Select the .211 zip file you downloaded.
- *IF IT FAILS THE FIRST TIME, CLEAR YOUR CACHE, TURN YOUR PHONE OFF, AND TRY THIS PARAGRAPH AGAIN.*
And now you're on the new ICS! Factory/Cache reset if you want, then use VOL DWN + VOL UP to navigate to Reboot phone, and press PWR to reboot.
If you want root on this new ICS build:- Turn on your phone and let it boot normally
- Set everything up, and then turn on USB debugging (pull down the notification panel, tap the wrench, go all of the way down to developer options, tap that, then make sure USB debugging is checked), and make sure it isn't on Mass Storage mode (pull down the notification panel, tap on "connected as ____" and change to MTP or PTP.)
- Open the modified Droid RAZR utility and go to the main menu.
- Type 5 and press enter.
- Press enter again.
- Wait for the process to end completely. Your phone should reboot twice.
Rooted!
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help. However it is impossible for me to reply at all hours of the day. If you need emergency help, ask over at DroidRZR.

You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.
- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6
- Turn your phone off, & then turn it back on holding VOL DWN and PWR to boot into AP Fastboot
- Select Fastboot to .181 in the Utility & follow the onscreen directions
- Let it complete. There will be quite a few errors, don't panic - this is normal.
You are now on what we coined "Psuedo-.181" - some weird hybrid of GB and ICS files. Your phone will not boot at this point.
- Open the unstick ICS tool
- Choose the newest (.20X) kernel
- Let it install, and reboot.
Because of this kernel upgrade, you are now able to flash ICS again... even a later version.
- Turn your phone off
- Hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP + PWR, then use VOL DWN to go to "Recovery" and VOL UP to select it
- Press VOL DWN + VOL UP to bring up the menu
- Navigate to "Apply update from external SD"
- Select the .20X zip file you downloaded.

And now you're on the new ICS!
If you want root afterwards:
- Turn on your phone and let it boot normally
- Set everything up, and then turn on USB debugging
- Turn off your phone
- Hold VOL DWN + PWR to boot into AP Fastboot mode again
- Open the UnstickICS tool on your computer again
- Install the .85 kernel
- Turn your phone off
- Hold VOL DWN + VOL UP + PWR, then use VOL DWN to navigate to BP Tools, and VOL UP to select it
- Your phone should boot normally.
- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 and select Root ICS.
- Follow the onscreen directions, pressing a button when it finishes rebooting, 3x.
- Turn your phone off again.
- Hold VOL DWN + PWR to boot into AP Fastboot again
- Use UnstickICS to flash the kernel of the version you want to upgrade to again
- Reboot
You need to do this, because the 4.0.4 kernel is not vulnerable to any root exploits. Going back to a previous kernel (in this case, 4.0.3) will allow you to exploit and obtain root, and then upgrade back to 4.0.4.
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help.

I wish I had seen these instructions about nine hours ago. I've been struggling with getting my Razr on .79, and finally figured it out. Would have saved me a lot of time if I had started with your directions!
Yeah, I was surprised how many people were having trouble and were using tools like the ICS Installer, so I thought I'd just compile my posts together for people to see.
Where are the links?

Not to be rude,but isn't there already like 3 threads explaining how to upgrade to the latest leak and root?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
None of them go indepth, leading to people jumping to conclusions on what to do in several situations. It's counterintuitive and leads people to bricks. I made my guides almost fool-proof, gathering like 15 likes over on droidrzr, so I thought I'd bring them over here for you guys.
I used .75 and safestrap to upgrade to the latest nightly. If I want .209 on my phone, what do I do? Your instructions only discuss gb or ics above .79.

Okay, clarified that the first set of instructions work on .75/.79 leaks, and added links.
If you want .209 mirrored, here:

Are people still doing this since its all but confirmed ICS will be OTA in less than a week?
We've heard like 3 speculated dates, and they were all wrong. I'd imagine this one probably is too.
Yah, but this is the first time I've actually seen it from sources* other than "that guy on the forumz"... Its keeping my hope alive anyway. heh
*Source,source
One of them was from a Best Buy system pic, one from a Verizon system pic. This one is just "well, our sources say..."
Everytime i try this, i get to install zip and then get error, sideload r something, and abort.
Can i get some help please?
Which are you doing, the first set of instructions or the second?
2nd set, the coming from ICS leak, back to 181, unstuck 209 flash 209 in stock recovery
You flashed .209 kernel in fastboot before trying to install? If so, just try installing twice.
I have tried multiple times. Even tried rebooting, waiting, going back recovery, wiping cache, then trying again. alway's same error.
1st
assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot: buch of numbers")
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
status 7
2nd
when i try again
assert failed: mount("ext3" , "MTD", "system", "/system")
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
status 7
then ill get 2nd error over and over if i try again.
looks like you need to fast boot 181 again. Make sure you flash the boot img before you go back to flash the update again.

Installation Guide
1) Make sure you have the drivers installed
2) Extract ur firmware it to get its content which would be a .tar
3) Download Odin3 v1.85. Then, extract it to get these two required files – Odin3 v1.85.exe and Odin3.ini. Do NOT delete the .ini file since it’s required too. When asked in step 6 below, open Odin by double clicking on the Odin3 v1.85.exe file.
4) Disconnect your tablet if it’s connected to PC. Power it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
5) Now, put the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Download Mode (also called Odin mode) — press and hold, until Samsung Galaxy logo appears — these keys together: Volume_DOWN + Power.
6) Wait till you a screen with options to boot into recovery or download (odin) mode.
7) Press Volume Up key to boot into download mode.
8) Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe. Admin privileges would be required!
9) Connect your Galaxy tab 10.1 tablet to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !” under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. And you should also see COM port with a number in Yellow. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve the right drivers installed!
10) Select these files in Odin at respective tabs.
11) Click the PDA Tab, and select the big .tar file “P7510XEUKL2_P7510XXKL2_HOME.tar.md5″
Important! Make sure these 2 check-boxes are selected: Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Also, leave the Re-Partition check-box clear (blank), as we are only using a .tar file or PDA file to flash.
12) Double check everything said in step 11.
13) Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your tablet will automatically reboot — and you can unplug the cable when Galaxy logo appears. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful, Try again, and take care to complete the whole process without any break whatsoever.
Hit Like If it helps..
How do you get the drivers that work when the Tab is booted to ODIN? I've tried everything I can find and have been unable to get the correct drivers installed.

Install Kies and it should install the drivers. I'm pretty sure you can download them from samsung.com too. But when you use odin make sure that Kies is completely closed (even check in processes in task manager) or odin won't work

Hey guys,
I have recently rooted my device N3 (N9005) with CF-Auto-Root by Chainfire. (It trigged Knox to 0x1, it’s fine as its an overseas unit)
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
It took me less than 10 seconds to get it done, all perfectly rooted.
But unfortunately, now my screen is flickering like crazy. I can’t even use the N3 right now.
When I boot it to Download Mode, screen is perfectly fine, but when I boot it to Recovery mode or the OS, it flickers like mad.
I’ve tried reflashing the stock ROM (downloaded from sammobile) but it doesn’t seem to work. What seems to be the problem?
I’ve googled “android screen flickering issue” but it seems that I am the only N3 user that is facing this problem.
The other problems are from HTC/Nexus,SGT10.1, tried the options suggested (eg auto brightness, developer option settings), some even said it’s the kernel issue.
I’ve only been using the N3 for a week and now its not working! HELP!!

Hey guys,
First of all, happy to become a member in the this community.
My phone stuck on the boot logo screen after I tried to put a custom rom. I flashed few roms before , i guess i felt on a currpurt one.
After that i tried to put a stock rom using cygwin guide.still nothing.
Clockworkmod Recovery Error:
Sometimes i faced errors as given below:
E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can’t open /cache/recovery
last_log
and even cant mount system
please help me return my phone back to live.
thx in advance
Hey, welcome!
I just had the same problem, tried to flash a bad ROM and thought I was done for. The information on these forums is a bit scattered so I will just detail what I did to unbrick it.
1. First thing you need to do is have the samsung drivers, if you're on Windows 7 or above, Windows can probably go find them for you when it comes to plugging your phone in.
2. You need to have the original stock firmware, luckily they are essentially all the same so here is the Open Australia version I used (I'm on O2 in the UK) http://www.mediafire.com/?903oq9l7qbmkir4 (password is: mod2xtreme.com)
3: Extract that folder somewhere you will remember.
4: Odin is a firmware flasher, it's what will save your phone. It needs a PIT file, luckily some kind person has already packaged the PIT for the Ace within Odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1270119&d=1345402010
Now you have all the different pieces required
5: Open Odin on your computer and put your phone into Odin mode by holding the power button, volume up and volume down. (and read the screen, it'll ask if you if you're sure and to press volume up) - once you plug the phone in correctly and the drivers are installed Odin should come up saying "<ID> Added!!"

Hey, welcome!
I just had the same problem, tried to flash a bad ROM and thought I was done for. The information on these forums is a bit scattered so I will just detail what I did to unbrick it.
1. First thing you need to do is have the samsung drivers, if you're on Windows 7 or above, Windows can probably go find them for you when it comes to plugging your phone in.
2. You need to have the original stock firmware, luckily they are essentially all the same so here is the Open Australia version I used (I'm on O2 in the UK) http://www.mediafire.com/?903oq9l7qbmkir4 (password is: mod2xtreme.com)
3: Extract that folder somewhere you will remember.
4: Odin is a firmware flasher, it's what will save your phone. It needs a PIT file, luckily some kind person has already packaged the PIT for the Ace within Odin here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1270119&d=1345402010
Now you have all the different pieces required
5: Open Odin on your computer and put your phone into Odin mode by holding the power button, volume up and volume down. (and read the screen, it'll ask if you if you're sure and to press volume up) - once you plug the phone in correctly and the drivers are installed Odin should come up saying "<ID> Added!!"

Not Working
I am stuck on Set up connection screen.
Hi, my phone was stuck on samsung boot logo. Now I followed these steps and it worked but when I open the Market it crashes...
Thank you
Many many thanks, tried many many solutions, all failed, complicated this and that. All leading to dead ends and frustration (and my download directory full with junk files and directories). But not this one. Splendid in its simplicity, my Ace S5830I dead since 2 years now works once again.
I want to hug someone :laugh:
sammy came back from death

1. First thing you need to do is have the samsung drivers, if you're on Windows 7 or above, Windows can probably go find them for you when it comes to plugging your phone in or install from here: http://www.samsungusbdrivers.net/2017/04/samsung-s5830i-usb-driver-for-windows.html (Make sure you restart the computer after installing the Driver)

I have this same problem but I have not been able to get a reliable Samsung firmware can anyone help me please
Hi trying to get a .pit file for the GT-S5830i can someone help please?
Hi,
I've noticed a lot of people getting stuck with the ROMs and I've had a few PMs about a post I made a while ago. I'd like to start by saying most ROMs are for the S5830 only, not the S5830i - if you try with an incompatible ROM you will get the dreaded boot loop. The solution to these boot loops is often confusing and scattered among many threads, this is my attempt at getting a simple guide into one thread.
If you have any questions please ask here rather than PM.
1. First thing you need to do is have the Samsung drivers, if you're on Windows 7 or above, Windows can probably go find them for you when it comes to plugging your phone in. If not, Kies is available on Samsung's site here which includes all of the drivers required.
