I just traded my galaxy nexus for a razr maxx today. I don't really care about down grading from ics cuz I know eventually the razr will get and I had the itch to move to another device.

Good timing, Verizon started to send out the OTA today, but there could be 2 weeks where it's distributed to everybody. :laugh:

Congrats! Wait a week or two and you will have a great phone gbread maxx is nice...but I have ics leak 211 on mine and its great! Enjoy
Looks like the previous owner rooted the phone but left the stock rom on here. Will still get the OTA or will be blocked?

It will lose root, but the OTA will go through fine.
Cool thanks. I really don't think I want to root this thing.

I recommend unrooting with Matt's utility just in case. You will get the update, but there could be issues. That is not the case most of the time, but it sometimes happens. I think it was a DROID pro update that messed up rooted phones. You should be fine though...

It gets pushed to your phone just like any OTA. Soak members just get it earlier than others to test out for any last minute bugs.
I received mine at 6:21 pm EST in GA
How much earlier?

You can't roll back because the boot loader has changed, you will brick if you try to roll back from the ota to 2.3.6

No... you can not. You will brick. New bootloader for ICS guarantees this.
Time to call verizon and get a refurb.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I'm bummed about ICS, too.
I did the update and headphone jack no longer is recognized. I use it everyday in my car. It's not lint in the port.
Anyone have ideas about a fix? I'd rather not root, but I'm on the road enough that I can't go on a trip without Pandora out the headphone jack in the aux port of my car...
Thanks,
Chris
UPDATE: Called Verizon and they immediately sent out a replacement. It was a refurb, but you couldn't tell at all. "Refurbs" are probably products that had the original retail boxes damaged. New phone is on 2.3.6... not sure I'm going to update again.
Check out HTC Sensation theme and app thread. Google now will work on RAZR ics .211. With exception of voice search. But its a start and looks awesome can't wait until its fully functional.

You need to be rooted, but Google just releases android 4.1 source, so a Jelly Bean build is in the works I'm sure. I would just be patient, it'll come soon enough

Yeah but we saw how long it took to get ICS ready for the razr. I doubt we get it before Christmas. You think with Google buying Motorola they would be the first to get anything after the nexus line of phones

Can't even download it, only says that my memory card is full however it is not.
I did safestrap and backup on my RAZR and restored it on my maxx, but since it's a maxx would it effect the battery, or am I just being paranoid?
Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX
You're just being paranoid, I did the exact same thing and I have to use my phone extremely today for 13 hours and still have 20 percent left. The battery stats and things like that are reset when you unplug the phone from the charger so it won't transfer or at least it will be reset anyways

I found a pretty easy way to get the JB update on my Razr Maxx.
Go here http://d-h.st/vCW on your phones browser and download the file.
Move the .zip to your SD card.
(If your unsure on how to do this i went into files>internal storage>find the .zip>long press and select move>click the back button on your phone>select SD card.)
Hold both volume buttons and power at the same time and scroll down to recovery.
Once in recovery select appl update from SD and find the file and select with power button.
Give it about 10-15 minutes BAM! Jellybean 4.1.2
"Found it", huh? lol

Not stupid. Nobody really knows yet. There's a good chance this will be the OTA.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
This is/was an official update. When they finally release another official update they will now have to include everybody updating from ICS as well as everybody who already took the JB update. Should be no problem to update OTA next time.

Im assuming when the official OTA comes out there will just be some bug fixes from what we have now. So far i haven't noticed anything everything is a lot smoother.

What gives here?
I installed this "update" as directed and was successful. However, my version is still 4.0.4 ICS but shows the 6.16.211 build. Is this supposed to be a Jelly Bean build or is this actually an ICS build?
Any clarification would be appreciated and thanks!
Thats odd. Mine is 4.1.2. It is a jellybean build. Do you have google now and stuff like that?

I am pretty sure you are still running ICS. Android and build should reflect the change. Did your lock screen clock change fonts? Notifications pull down change it's look?

You're still running ICS, not the new JB. The JB leak is Android 4.1.2, Build #: 9.8.20-72_VZW-8
Hi I am just about to receive the razr maxx running ics, its the uk version. Will I be able to update this uk version of the maxx using the method described by the OP ? I am assuming you have to root the phone to do this so would appreciate
a link on how its done on the maxx. I own a Note 2 and have rooted that so am familiar with the process on a Samsung phone.
Thanks for all replies
