Hello friends at XDA,
I'm currently own a EU Razr. I upgraded it a couple of months ago to a Gummy ICS release. It works pretty good, sans Camcorder.
But now i would like to upgrade to the oficial Moto ICS (from what i read, it'll be releasing soon).
I did make a backup using Clockwork of my stock Motorola.
Do i need to downgrade to be able to upgrade? Should I?
Can i use my nandroid backup simply my applying it via Clockwork Recovery?
This is the info on the "About":
Model Number: XT910
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: U_03.1C.78P
Kernel Version: 1.6.35.7-g24431a2 [email protected] #1
Build Number: ICS_Beta_MR1
Apreciate any enlighted info on this :laugh:

Alright, I'm not quite sure if my phone can be rooted or not, based off of the various things I've read.
Firmware: 2.1
Kernel: 2.6.29-8a03cb9a [email protected]
Build Number: 2.37.605.4 CL185970 release-keys
I got the phone directly from Verizon about a month or so ago, and it came with 2.1 preinstalled. Is there any way that I could root my phone to some version of 2.2?
Thanks!

I always recommend AmonRA (latest is 1.7.0.1 IIRC).
As for ROMs, you have 2 main choices (well, maybe 3)
Sense 2.1 ROMs (like official)
Vanilla 2.1 ROMs
Vanilla 2.2 (Froyo ROMs)
Which you go for depends on what you like in a ROM, and how stable you want. Froyo ones are slightly less perfected, but still perfectly usable for a daily phone (I use Froyd on mine every day for the past month or so, without issue)
The most stable would be a Sense 2.1 ROM, as that is as close to the HTC update as you get.
Thanks for the quick answer.
So all i have to do is to flash the amonRa image with flashrec?
After using Universal Androot yes.
@lajba: i'm have same sofware info like yours but didn't manage to get flshrec working
stuck there..

Hi everyone.
I bought a LG Optimus One P500 a couple of months ago and I rooted it. The update notificator is telling me now that there's an available firmware update, I have 2 questions:
1) If I do the update, do I lose root privileges?
2) Is it recommendable to do such update?
I have the following under my phone info:
Android version: 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FRF91
Software version: V10b-OCT02-2010
Thank you in advance for your answers!
You will most likely lose your root as it will update previous root patches. And 2.2.2 has to be downgraded back to 2.2 if you want to root again. 2.2 is very stable. And gingerbread is just around the corner. So, I'd say no need.

I need a little help here gents,
Basically I want to update my phone as I am stuck on 2.5.5 and want to be able to download ota updates and eventually ics. Here's the catch, I'm unfortunately on the infamous NonEFIGSRetail system version.
From my understanding I have to flash a different retail system version to allow updates and the like to come through.
My questions are...
1.
Which system version should I flash to?
2.
How would I go about doing this? (before my razr I owned a dhd and they seemed a hell of a lot simpler to muck around with)
3.
Lastly if I were to flash a new system version, how would I create a backup of my NonEFIGSRetail version just in case things went tits up?
Cheers
Jack

Ignore the OTAs to be sure to be on a stock rom, as some of the roms are leaks etc.

@jackmanzan please use the search function as the nonefi had been solved here many times before...
I apologies if this has been covered before but from what I had read there wasn't a definitive answer.
Cheers for the help guys those two system versions look good.
Now can anybody answer question 2/3?
Cheers

3. If you're rooted, you can make an back up of your current Rom with CWM. But there's no need for.
Just charge your Battery till 100% before you flash with RSD.
Edit to 1: Here you got an actually Fastboot (2.3.6 / Baseband 91)
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip
After you flashed this, you'll get an 15mb Update via MotoCast Software. So you'll be sure, that things're working right now :thumbup:

Hello,
I want to upgrade my xt910 from 2.3.6 to ICS, I found videos on youtube, threads here and on other websites too, but I know this is kinda sensitive thing to do so I need your help confirming the steps for me.
first of all this is my device information:
System Version: 65.1.40.XT910.MERetail.en.06
Model Number: XT910
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: U_03.1C.91P
Webtop Version: WT-2.0.0-139
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-g8abf869 / [email protected] #1
AP Flex Version: GAS_ASIA_USASPDRRTUAE_P011 / GAS_ASIA_USASPDRRTUAE_A012
Build Number: 6.5.1-167-SPD-IRD-40
Build Date: Mon Feb 6 21:28:36 IST 2012
I already rooted the device successfully when I bought it.
So here is the steps as I read and saw:
1- Change the system version to 651.73.30.Retail.en.EU ... same as in this video (How to Unbrick/upgrade/downgrade Motorola Razr XT910 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_1-HxdzEo0&feature=plcp )
2- Update motorola razr xt910 to ics(android 4.0.3) on this link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuRSKeMFPGc )
3- Then update to ICS 4.0.4 on this link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TCgj5gbmf0 ) using this ROM [ROM, GSM XT910][EuropeAustraliaEMEA] Final EU ICS Fastboot Official fastboot package for Motorola RAZR
Am I doing the right steps?
Which ICS ROM is the best?
I would like to ask, as I read if I update to 4.0.4 there is no way I can go back to GingerBread, but what if I updated to 4.0.3, may I go back to Gingerbread if I didn't like it?
What are the negative points about ICS on droid razr? what stuff not working or something? Should I wait the official ROM?
Is there any custom GingerBread ROM(s)?
Thank you so much for you help.
Pls help.. even i am having the same ME version of RAZR and was thinking of upgraditng it.
please help.
