[Q] Restore back to stock after ICS leak install? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Is it possible to return back to the original software of the phone after installing the leak. As in, can you use mattlgroffs Razr Utility to completely restore the phone?

It depends of your current system. What's it?

Then you are not using the leak, you can easily restore it with rds lite flashing your correct file(corrisponding to you version of razr)

No you can't go back from the leak to gb (some cdma leak can, but since you are using daddy's rom i guess you are gsm)

One last question, will I be able to update to the final ICS when it is released from the leak.

No one really knows, but at the moment its not likely, you will need to flash your phone to a standard GB ROM, but to do that you will need to wait for someone to find a way, then upgrade to ICS.
This is why I have not taken the ICS Leak Plunge yet

•Question•

I had a thought that came to my mind.
I understand that the big issue with the rollback is the bootloader or w/e
I'm so tired of my v1 of the 2.1 leak.
Is it possible to use an image of the OTA 2.1 since I'm assuming the bootloader from the OTA and the leak is the same....
Any ideas?
Re: •Question•
You would think so but issue with bootloader is they are the same version with s- on. With that the device assumes the its is same version as leak and you get an error when trying to flash. Say in version you are trying to load is older than the one you have. If that weren't true then rooting would be possible on the leak. Sorry.

I'd think you should be able to flash the OTA update. Since you're on leak v1, you stand to get quite a few improvements and bug fixes, at the very least. It won't help you root unfortunately, but it would still be an upgrade for you, if you don't mind a brand new flash.
Re: •Question•
Yeah you would think but ota has lower version of bootloader. The leak has 1.49 and ota has 1.46 or 1.47. And device assumes ota is older version of Android. The only version you can flash once on leak is desire ruu which is a new release. There is I post for it in the Android development forum.

What about leak v3? It's basically the same as the OTA and you should be able to update to that.
Re: •Question•
Download ROM HERE
It seems to be a Verizon Droid Eris 2.1 Official ROM.

Yes you can use leak version 2 or 3. Or the release which they are installing on all phones as they produced them in Feb. Before Eris got discontinued.

Alright so if I'm reading all this correctly I should be able to flash into a newer leak...
Does anyone have any idea how I'm supposed to do this?
Do I flash to Leak V3 or to the desire ruu rom?
Thanks for all the great answers by the way.
From the looks of things I'm not as stuck as I thought I was.

If i were you i would flash with the RUU rom.
Granted they're both the same OS, its the official one from Verizon.
Better safe than sorry

Yep thats what I did. I put the RUU over Leak v3 and at the least I am "offical" now since I couldnt do anything anyway (root, etc). Simple process with the RUU.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I use the Ruu?
Do I install it on my computer first or just put it directly onto my SD card like with the v1 rom?

Yeah same here. You might has well seeing as like you said we cant do anything with root yet. I havent noticed any changes since i did that but hey why not?
Well the RUU Rom loaded nicely.
Finally no more 2.1 v1 leak!!!
Re: •Question•
Good to hear, let's just hope we won't be on it long and jcase can crack this thing.

[Q] Leaked RUU vs Root, just as bad for warranty services?

I unrooted my phone and returned it to stock after experiencing some screen issues. The issues went away after a while of using stock but then came back any way. Not being content with how crappy stock worked i updated to the latest leak RUU. If i still want to have it exchanged, will i need to have it back to a non leaked RUU or can i leave the leaked RUU installed as it is an official rom, signed and all?

It's NOT an official ROM. If it were, it would be distributed by Verizon. So yes, you would need to go back to a real OTA.

ics radio question.

Do i need to be on the new radio to run an ics custom rom? Im currently still on gb and i dont want to relock and run the ruu.

Yes and no. No, you can just run one of the new ROMs with the patch that is posted. Yes, you should just update and run the RUU because things will be, in general, much smoother for you. Your choice, though.
What are some of the bugs of the new radio?
Bugs? I've got none. It runs incredibly well. And I'm on the Dev edition of CleanROM.
Or just flash an older ics rom. Cleanrom 3 is based off the old leaks, so you don't have to flash leaked firmware.
i asked because usually you do not have to be on a specific radio to run a rom. i don't really like running leaked radios.

I hear you on the radio part, that's part of the reason I haven't played with the leak yet. I'm always leery of flashing radios.

I've been pretty jittery to flash it but I'm leaning towards the official ota as well.

Upgrading the radio img only

I have the ICS leak running fine (no root yet). I just want to flash the radio image only.... do i need root or will the stock bootloader give me a option to flash a radio upgrade without flasing the entire new rom?

I believe the radio is exactly the same as the "old" leak.
I read that it is different. It has a different build number too.. I just wanted to push the new radio instead of the entire ROM

Someone compared the old radio to the new radio and they are exactly the same. Same Md5 sum and everything.
You sir just saved me a lot of time! Thanks

Restore the nandroid backup that you should have made before flashing CM10.

I don't think i made one " i know i'm a noob, and i admit that ", if i didn't can i flash a GB Stock ROM using flashboot or will the phone get bricked?
Never flash an sbf unless you have no choice.
What GB version were you on? What country/carrier?

I was on 2.3.4 and the country is Egypt or just the ME version of Android, and the new JB is great and everything but still lags on my Phone so i wanted to downgrade
You can try flashing a fruit cake, but the only one available is for AT&T. You might run in to problems with the radio. You might find some help here.
There might be an sbf available here, but the site is currently undergoing maintenance.
