So earlier this year Moto said Moto RAZR (GSM RAZR) are getting ICS Q2. And Droid RAZR (CDMA RAZR for US) is TBD.
Then Verizon is out.
EU got ignored.
LATAM got leaked.
what happened to Canadians???
Rogers/Fido, where's my ICS? :crying:
Anybody got any rumours before I get impatient and flash LATAM ICS on my Roger phone?
rant here :silly:
I got impatient. Totally worth it. Even if I have to wait even longer to flash back to a rogers release, the latest LATAM build is rock solid and amazing for my battery life
there are 2 new leak in the dev forum, one for figo and one for roger

BOOYAH.
anybody wanna close this thread? lol
will try it now.
well, thread not close is fine since it's a LEAK, not official OTA. would be nice to have the real thing, Rogers.

I am strongly considering this phone as a sidegrade to my GS2. The lure of unthinkable battery life is making it very tempting. I just cant go back to GB. I know the ICS rollout is set for "end of Q2", but on Moto's support page it only makes reference to the USA. Since the GSM version is not a USA phone, what chances will I have of getting an official OTA anytime soon? I researched this, but it seams that there are not many of these devices currently being used in the US. Does anyone have any info to help with my decision or am I just best off waiting until its officially official?
Thank you.
Read the forums. Seems like the ICS upgrade is imminent for Latin America and coming for EU/Asia.
Is there actually a US spec GSM RAZR, or are you importing from overseas?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Negri is selling an unlocked version that is compatible with ATT bands. Definitely an import.
Actually, there are GSM/UMTS radios in the Verizon Razr MAXX that have recently been enabled.
There's an article in PCWorld that I can't link too that I'm too much of a n00b to be able to post...
(pcworld dot com slash article/258233/verizon_gives_motorola_lte_razrs_their_gsm_wings.html)
I too would be interested if an unlocked Verizon Razr MAXX could be used on AT&T. garment69, have you had any luck? Did you make a decision?

According to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569055 the ICS update for the RAZR apparently unlocks the SIM slot.
Some further work may be required, as indicated by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714&page=3 (scroll down to read the last two posts)
I paid $500 for this beauty but just like the CLIQ Its taking forever and reaching the end of the quarter. And with my CLIQ it updated waaaaay after the announced timeframe. So what's the on Canadian xt910?
Hopefully soon. We've waited this long for it, another couple of days isn't going to kill us.
Er, it's not going to kill us, is it?
Motorola has announced specifically that ICS will roll out for the Canadian model in q2. Seeing rogers is the only carrier that sells the razr, I would assume there is some truth to that statement.
Just install the latam version it is easy and so much better than gingerbread
Thanks
I tweeted them a couple days ago and they basically told me they have no idea. I'm guessing it really depends on moto
One thing is for sure, if the update does not arrive I will install one of these leaks out there and eventually sell the phone.
Just flash the Brazil one. That's what I finally did, and I couldn't be happier. Only drawback is that you need to punch in the Rogers APN for 3G.
Simple process, RSD the 2.3.6 GB from LATAM, root with motofail and backup with voodoo rootkeeper then put the 4.0.4 LATAM OTA file in the root of your external SD Card, boot into MOTO recovery and flash. Then just load up Voodoo Rootkeeper and restore root.
Easy-peasy ICS greatness.
Brazilians claro's razr are geting the ota

Wow on the USA Motorola page it talks about ics... in the Rogers site nothing even shows up in the search... f :-* k... taking forever
I just wanted to say, I think our hard work with petitions and complaints along with the google buyout has finally turned the tables. We have possibly won the bootloader battle.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/26/motorola-to-allow-bootloader-unlocking-from-photon-q-4g-lte-on/
The photon Q will come out in august and be the first unlockable but the RAZR / MAXX will be unlockable soon after. This is amazing news I think, I have a feeling it has to do with the encription being nearly cracked and they decided to reduce the vulnreability and make it unlockable through them. And well admit it, we *****ed a lot about this.
Good news, but wait unlock before proclame victory
I doubt they'll allow older versions/handsets to unlock their bootloaders. Also you have to remember that Photon is releasing on Sprint so it is probably a deal they have made with the network thus allowing them to carry through with this. Regardless, I was hoping Motorola would live up to their targets of unlocking bootloaders and pushing the ICS updates out in their predicted timeframe. But looking at where we are now, I know well enough to take their announcements as a grain of sand and sadly this will be my first and last Motorola based Android device.
Beat me to it... I may not have my beloved RAZR anymore, but I wanted to share too...

Didn't the Xoom tablet have an unlock option as stock? I think it's the very first thing I did when I got it? It did have a nice warranty warning from what I recall...
They've ready said they have no intention of unlocking past devices. We have still lost, Verizon will still never allow another unlocked device on their network. The GNex is the last.

isn't the carrier unimportant if there's at least the retail version unlockable?
You would be correct, but Moto doesn't subsidize their products, most people won't spend $750-500 on a phone when they could get it for $200.

If you buy your phone from Moto without the discount that you get from carriers, you would be paying 500 USD extra just to get a version that's unlockable, which is crazy for most people. Why would you buy a phone for 700 USD that you could get for 200 USD?
They must be fool if they think that I will buy another moto phone just because of a "killer feature" like the unlocked bootloader... They screwed it with the Razr (and others) already and I will not support such company who thinks that everything must be as they said...-thats not what I am paying for. Thats the reason why I don't own an iphone and motorola's phones are next on this list...

Motorola Xoom is GED
Just wanted to react to the topic name - no we didn't won but we probably completly lost it all because if motorola will provide unlocked bootloader for the upcoming phones there will be no reason for them to unlock old phones as its reasonable that they would want to sell as many new phones as possible and this "new feature" will help them...
If anyone can read the RAZR WILL be unlocked shortly after the new phone is released. This is because the DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR maxx are very popular phones. And Verizon doesn't want anyone complaining about the unlocked bootloader. So just get your panties out of a bunch and wait patiently until after August.

Think about it a lot of people are still on their 2 year contract so people are not gonna want to pay full retail just to get an unlocked bootloader when they just got a new phone. If Verizon was smart they would give it to relatively new phones so customers come upgrading time will want a new phone. And won't jump ship to a new carrier.

People please Read the Whole article, moto confirmed they will be unlocking the RAZR/MAXX. They are going to start with a new unlockable device, then start unlocking some older devices. The razr is specificly listed others are unlisted but will be unlocked too. Remember that Google now owns motorola and is starting to call the shots, ICS is almost stock now on our razr except a few changes. (and good ones not crappy ones) Motorola is going back to its google roots the OG Droid came from.

err, where did you read that?
Shocked there has been no mention of a release for RUU 4.03.605.2. So what do you guys think, is it just never being officially released?
I thought you could do global stuff with the prior ICS release as well, is that not true?

There was a limited soak test of 4.03.605.1 about 2 weeks after the 3.14.605.12 OTA. A few people got it as an OTA. One person on xda actually got it, which is how we initially knew the new version existed at all.

I'm on the 3.14.605.12 release right now and when I check for updates it says none available. Thoughts? I didn't see many people here talking about the .1 release being pushed either. Weird.

Yeah, read your links and the comments by those saying they got it. I definitely believe the soak test happened which is why i was asking if anyone had heard official release dates. Guess eventually Verizon might push to the masses, but on their own timeframe (hell freezing over or something like that)

Same here. Love my 920, esp with T-Mobile...but it's starting to get irritating. They said the rollout finishes mid-March, which means we are technically still in the time frame they gave. However, I just wish one of the reps I talk with could let me know WHEN or IF they plan on updating the developer version. If not, I think I'm going to flash it to Rogers (or sell it and buy an ATT version when they become unlockable).

I don't think the Att versions will work on T-Mobile, and there's no way in hell I would ever be on Att. Our phone should have been the first ones upgraded since they were the first ones released.
