Howzit all
If there are any South African RAZR owners waiting for ICS or have received the update, please post here and let us all know what the user experience is like, and if at all possible, post the update on here
Thanks!
Nice to see another south african razr user on this forum. Im still waiting aswell. I have a ME Retail version, so i think we'll get the update when the Middle East gets theirs
What I'm keen to see is if we get an untampered version and not something loaded down like the Droid RAZR's are in the USA thanks to Verizon insisting on loading bloatware.
Also hoping that one of the reasons we're waiting longer is because they're stabilising it a bit more

hey guys,
im excited too. Cannot wait. A buddy of mine did a manual OTA update though. He is having issues with his USB not detected on his pc or any other pc, that is one of the reasons I waited
I have played around with his and it looks much better than the HTC sensation ICS update as far as I can tell, that is look and feel and some added extras
Razr sa ics update
Hi there.
Love my Moto RAZR!!!
I downloaded an unofficial ROM and installed it. It was really nice but it did support sdcard, so I could also not take pics, cause it saves it to your sdcard.... Then tried to go back and bricked my phone... Finally I manage to unbrick it after a days work.
But, yes... It is going to be great and can't wait for the ota release in SA!!!!
Cheers
Congrats bra

My colleague did exactly what you did and now sitting with ICS without SDcard feature. What rom are you currently on and isyour SDcard still not working or is it fixed?
I tried everything possible in order to get my windows machine to recognise my razr.Whenever i connect the phone to the pc, windows pop's up an error message saying "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED", it does not even show on the phone that it has been connected to a pc.Im currently running 676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU
Please help

Hi
I reinstalled the original fastboot ROM. He will need to tl dowload it, its about 1gig and install rsdlite and Android SDK Tools on a PC or laptop with the correct drivers for his phone. His phone must be fully charged.
ROM = spyderird_u.01.26.0_spd-ird-21_sign_Asia_retail_hktw.xml
Usb debugging must be on and developers tool on, then restart his phone pressing power butten and vol up and down holing it till in recovery, then select the second option dafastboot. He must update Android sdk tools first. open RSD Lite and open the zip file (ROM) takes 15min then connect his phone and click start. Go and drink some tee and in 15-20min his phone will be as when it was when he took it out of the box the first time. Done....
Its the original so every thing works. If he needs help he can call me.
I JUST GOT MY ics OTA!!! Bussy downloading now, so will let you guys know what happened asap.
Thanks For reply

Hey,
Thanks for your quick response. I sent him this thread link as well to read your response. Im excited for you with the OTA update. Im currently still on 2.3.6 gingerbread but no OTA for me yet.
Also my friend wants to know on which rom were you when you checked for the OTA update? Is this a manual update or via WIFI? Thanks.
RSD Lite
here is a link to better explain how to use RSD Lite

Thanks. I am using the SPYDERIRD_U.01.26.0_SPD-IRD-21_SIGN_ASIA_RETAIL_HKTW.xml rom and I am with VirginMobile, I received a notification that I can update to ICS and it asked me if it can use WIFI and/or data, still downloading so I guess its about 600-800mb.

shot buddy. my friend rhodesa and I both are with 8ta as a carrier, checked for updates manually, none for us and we never received notification so we have to wait.
with regards to your update, did you go back to gingerbread for your to receive that update notification or were you on SPYDERIRD_U.01.26.0_SPD-IRD-21_SIGN_ASIA_RETAIL_HKTW.xml
@u1fourie
Was the unofficial rom that you installed ICS? Because i did the same thing, installed unofficial ICS rom, had problems with the phone connecting to pc's so i tied to go back to gingerbread and bricked it.I eventually unbricked it but now the usb issue is still present.Im currently using 676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU.
Yes the unofficial was ics. Then I went back to gingerbread, maybe I received the update because I use the gingerbread spiderird with Asia signarure, but its still original 2.3.6 gingerbread

sweet...so when you loaded gingerbread, did your sdcard feature work again
i used rsd first yes, but then it failed so i tried again but using EternityProject Fla**** for Windows then it failed again.But maybe the reason it failed was because i used the wrong stock rom which was not for my device
I tried to go back to (SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-3_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip)
Yes . Everything worked 100%.
thanx will try
@ rhodesa
I think rsd lite should install even if it is not the correct ROM. Just make sure your driver are up to date, your phone is fully charge, not using power from your USB, start phone in AP fastboot and that you have Android SDK Tools installed and updated
Great. Ics is now installed and work perfectly. It look a little different then the unofficial i
One but it looks great. Love it!

i know this is brought up alot on the forums and theres plenty of answers but im that much of a noob too flashing ect.. that i have no idea what any of these answers are talking about and i need someone to help me through how to do it...
I put gingerblur on my rooted atrix yesterday using this video
youtube.com/watch?v=MvC0C2h95BY&list=FLqfb2F1A2s4Z08JTFsWNuGg& index=4&feature=plpp_video (which involves CMW or something)
meaning i had no idea what i was doing just following step by steps on the video, and ever since my homescreen button and search button dont work and i no longer have a lock screen so i want to go back to stock because i dont like the bugginess!
my phone before i put it on gingerblur was 2.2.2 froyo on tmobile uk (unlocked device with no tmobile branding on the rear cover)
i would really apreciate it if someone could guide me how to turn it back to the software it came with or an official less buggy software please?
i checked my ota upgrade with gingerblur on the device and it says i can go to ATT gingerbread but then im sure this wouldnt work in the uk with the radio update but someone said i can do the ota then just flash the radio to a uk one but i had no idea what that means
im not sure at all what im doing with this and i wish i didnt follow the tutorial in the first place can someone help me please!
i just want to get back to stock or an official software that will work on tmobile uk and not brick my phone.
any helpe is appreciated thank you!
P.S i have CWM recovery does this have anything to do with restoring your phone how it was because it seems to have recovery options?
Did you unlock the bootloader? If you did, and have CWM, just install a ROM of your preference
If you want a hint on what ROM to choose,
Most of the ROMS available are based on 2.3, so consider going with CM7 if you like AOSP or Aura if you want blur
im not sure what a bootloader is all i can say i did was root my phone, then use that tutorial thats all iv done.. ohh ok so rather than being able to go back too a stable stock build i have to stay with roms full of bugs? :/
I'm gonna assume that you have tried a factory reset (most basic thing i could imagine)
I don't think that there are any SBFs for people with the T-mobile version, so i think the only thing you can do is either search for a removal tool or unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery and then install a ROM.
You should read this. Or you can follow this video guide.
Actually, ROMs can often be very stable and offer way more functionality.
You could always grab a "stock" ROM and install that, should be as close to stable as you can get.
ohh ok well i already have CWM recovery install in my phone so i guess installing a stable rom would be the best option for me? until i can go back to stock by sbf
What version of CWM do you have? How did you install it?

You need to unlock your bootloader before you install a ROM, all hell will prbably break loose elseways..
I doubt a stable 2.2 sbf will be available ever.

no offence
no offence to people who have tried to help but iv still got nowhere.
i wish i just left my phone how it was now. im stuck with no home button or search button, no calender widget, no lock screen, no fingerprint scanner...
my phone bootloaded must have been unlocked for me to even put gingerblur on it?
all i have done is used a tutorial to root it and then another that i put in the description to put gingerblur on and now will people please please please just watch the video and understand my sistuation
and tell me step by step what i have to do with links...
so far i understand i should unlock the bootloader but does gingerblur count as me having gingerbread or am i still on 2.2.2?!
thank you

Gingrrblur is not a real rom therefore you are not unlocked and do not have a full cwm that you can flash other roms with. Just use an sbf from the firmware thread to get you back to stock gb then if you want to find a radio corresponding to your area on the same thread. Both are flashed through rsd lite
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
yes, Gingerblur is a pseudo-ROM (p-ROM) and from what I know, it doesn't touch alot of important parts of the phone, for example the bootloader.
I'm guessing your bootloader is exactly the same as a regular 2.2. I guess flashing the IHOP_Bell.sbf and then doing fastboot unlock should do the trick
ok we're getting somewhere
I kinda understand now so could you send me some links in the order I need to so each thing please? One thing I don't want to do is install software from at&t and then have the wrong radio lol from what IV found there's no T-mobile software but is some orange ones and seeing as tmobile and orange are the same company in the uk, so basically I could get official gingerbread software then a T-mobile radio software and put them both on my atrix now I just need to know how to do it

i just bought dell venue im in india
It has 2.2 android version now.
I read on dell website they are giving 2.3 upgrade but the link seems not to be working
Link not being able to post as im new user
Can any1 let me know how can i download official 2.3 upgrade?
you can upgrade MIUI 2.3.7, CM7 2.3.7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565517 and GB 2.3.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Venue
There is no dell official upgrade for 2.3?
Im afraid of flashing as i saw some people here ended bricking their venue and does this mean they crapped the phone completely forever?
can i get dell upgrade by dells mobile pc software?

The GB 2.3.3 link is to a build that was released by Dell to Olleh, a Korean cell phone company. If you were on Olleh, it was an official release. We have confirmed loads of that ROM on Venues around the world (including mine), so it does work. CM7 and MIUI ROMs are much better though.
Thanx a lot!
Thanx for the help.
I have just bought this phone 2 days back.
I think i should give it some time before i can go on experimenting with other roms.
The biggest fear to me is what if i end up bricking my phone?
Can i have your gmail/yahoo messenger id? I have experience of changing roms and rooting galaxy y.But i dnt know how to get started here for dell venue.
Some of the terminilogy is beyond my understandings.
Your good support will be appreciated.
My gtalk id is [email protected] and yahoo id is [email protected]

There is always a risk that what worked for everyone else won't work for you, but it is a very small risk. Most of the time problems have been tracked down to "failure to follow instructions". Even today when I do something to one of my devices, I read the instructions 3 or 4 times, just to make sure I am not skipping over something important.
To get started, load CWM - The instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423002, they do work, with one addition. Under the "install instructions", you need to rename the CWM file downloaded to just recovery.img and put it in the same folder as your fastboot files, then when performing step 5 you can type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it works just fine.
Once CWM is loaded (make sure to follow all instructions, to include pressing both volume buttons and power to get into it) then you can flash the Olleh GB update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416537), CM7, or MIUI (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565517).
My rule of thumb - read the directions several times before trying something. If it fails, read the directions again, something was probably overlooked or skipped.
I also prefer to keep all correspondence on the XDA site, that way others can gain from the discussion.
i dnt knw why this forum banned my account probably on asking online support from you?
Well i needed to ask a few things.
i read some instructions for loading muli rom and cm7 roms,
sm1 had wrote i need to have gb 2.3 on my venue before i load any of these 2 roms.
Does it mean i have to first load Korean rom 2.3 and then cm7?
I dont want to install korean rom as of now coz i heard it doesnot work well with ussd codes.and i need to use ussd everyday!
By d way i have rooted the phone successfully so now got some confidence thax to u

I don't think you need to have the Olleh ROM on first before MIUI or CM7, just CWM for flashing. As for the Olleh, it works fine, and one of the XDA guys around here posted a fix for the USSd codes, so that can be fixed too. I do prefer CM7, though MIUI is not bad either.
Requirements:
Clockwork Mod installed
Matching pkg flashed beforehand*
Instructions:
Prereqs: Update with the matching PKG
Copy latest base zip to sdcard
Copy latest patch zip to sdcard
I dont understand what this means? what means matching pkg?
base zip i found with stock rom 2.3.
and what this patch.zip is?
Sorry i bothered u a lot!
Noob Guide
As many of us here fear of bricking the fone which we dont want,
Is there a proper and accurate step by step guide to update Stock 2.2 Froyo to
--> Gingerbread
--> CM
-->MIUI
I have seen many guides here.
But as I said I am a total noob to this so chances of screw up are >
Help would be appreciated.
Also would like to know:
For GB mod what launcher does it use? Stock or Vanilla?
Is the battery backup hampered or enhanced?
Are there any effects on HD games and apps after the upgrade?
Thank god!Someone else is also confused! i thought im the only dumb guy here lol
Well have u roooted ur phone?I had rooted it and using CPU TUNER APPICATION which works nice to save battery.
The app works only on rooted phone.
Im also hoping for better battery management in cm7/miui/ooleh

Ok, back when we were dealing with .img files, before CWM was ported, we had to make sure the correct version of recovery was loaded otherwise the file could not be loaded. Once CWM was available, that no longer was an issue. CM7, MIUI and the Olleh build can all be directly flashed by CWM.
Ohhk.
Thats what i assumed.but needed to confirm.
Now i got ur point.Now 1 more help please...
I have loaded cwm and got my phn in fastboot mode.
Now what do i need to do next?i mean which zip file shall i download and flash?suppose i want cm7 or miui rom, which files do i need to download to flash directly?I downloaded gb7 ooleh rom and found 2 zips in it.
one names BASIC and one named OTHER.
so im confused.

awaiting process note
also provide performance , bugs, experience details
Performance is awesome for this rom.Just awesome
I firmly believe dell should talk to the developer of this rom and take the rights to push this rom in all their venue phones!It wouldnt cost them so much that they cant afford!!
2.2 sucks...i upgraded my phone from galaxy y to dell venue.With 2.2 i really didnt feel much of difference between the two except for larger better screen.But now it feels im upgraded with the performance.Smoothness of this rom is really nice.
Iw ould strongly advise all 2.2 users to try this rom it will convert ur toy to a better gadget!!But as said...cope up YOURSELF with the upgradation risk of bricking while updating!
I'm on M1, I got the notification telling me about the ics Upgrade,

You can go to here
Settings > About Phone > System Updates
from here you can download OTA
is pretty much lengthy,though make sure you dl it thru Wi-Fi ~~
Just choose download and then later on, update. Or update later.. And copy out the downloaded file from \cache and then update.
Btw, Malaysian here on Celcom.

Make sure you have everything STOCK. If you do anything other than root you'll have a bad time (bootstrap,safestrap). Run Razr ultility, It has an option prepare for ICS.
Alright guys they said a week, so on monday we got the notification, so the first one to get it post here aight
I am in U.S. with Singapore phone still nothing.
My unbranded razr sold in Singapore, got my stock pshasiaretail rom installed the ota from Malaysia already.

for those PSHAsiaRetail user who can no longer wait (like me), you can use the link below to manually upgrade to ICS. It's using stock PSHAsiaRetail, so you will still get official OTA in the future.

Ok guys i couldn't wait and manually upgraded, From asia retail to pshasia retail, Am i gonna miss out on anything?
Just received the update this morning, PSH from Singapore
After years of being away from the phone mod seen (I quit when android first appeared when Google came out with the G1 and G2.) I was a Windows Mobile guy.. I'm trying to get back into it and flash some bada$$ roms and mod away, but know nothing about android. I'm not gonna lie.. All this new lingo on here with android has me scratching my head .. But I am reading, searching and trying to learn..
So here's where I am stuck.. I have rooted my M8 and done S-Off.. But when I was reading up on Viper rom to get that bad boy installed on my M8 its says "It would be best if I update my firmware to 4.4.3".. But the device is not offering me the OTA... All I have done to the phone is root it and use Sunshine to do the S-Off.. I also read that OTA is not the best way to go.. So am I needing to un-root my device to get this new firmware ??.. I also seen where there was a Guru tool to show that my phone is back to locked and un-tampered to get OTA's ..But not sure if it works for the M8.. But any help I can get for this ol' schooler-noob would be much appreciated.. I just wanna install some cool roms again.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

That will get you updated to 4.4.3. As stated in the thread, the update has been put on hold due to suspected battery drain.

It is usually recommend to do a factory reset and if you can wipe all caches, doing the OTA and not doing this is like a dirty flash. I have always wiped after OTA since my HTC Aria days and have had no issues. in fact even using @Wonders_Never_Cease great roms after I debloat further to what I like I go in and zip align and wipe caches just for my peace of mind. :highfive:

Here is an update I found .it's Still android 4.4.2. All that I know is it says bug fixes on the provided link for download . I flashed the firmware through fastboot just now . Works fine ,I don't notice any difference from the stock firmware other than the software numbers being different. There are two variants for download . One for pre paid and one for post paid. I have a contract so I used post paid.
I just wanted to post this for all to dig into and also because through hitting check for updates on my phone ,this update did not show up .I found it manually online .
I've developed some roms in the past for the atrix 2 . I am quite possibly going to be diving in once again as its been a year since I stopped for the a2 and currently this phone needs some development going on .

this update just att phone??
I'm waiting for 5.0 from HTC, but I'm curious if the update will fix a problem with the display. 610 needs devs
I'd really appreciate some confirmation on this. I started the ruu tool and saw it will wipe internal data (prior to reading that I didn't think an update would erase data) Not a big deal. I stopped it and made a backup.
But then I stopped to consider if there are any more surprises.
The 2 step guide right in Google search results does not mention needing adb environment.But other places say you need android sdk tools installed. This is an issue because I don't own a pc. I have everything I need on my Mac but of course I cant run exe files.
Do I need an adb environment for this to work? I can borrow a pc but would prefer to not put too much stuff on it because it's not mine. Just running one program one time--not a huge bother.
Also are there any other things I should be aware of before continuing? With other devices I'm not nearly as cautious but this is my main phone. Thanks.
Sorry to keep coming back but I did a clean install of Windows just for this update. The pc I had really needed maintenance. Still not certain it's necessary but I've got the adb environment set up and working. I just have a few questions...
1. Reading older posts, it says the ruu will relock boot loader and bring me to stock, is this true?
--in case it wasn't assumed, I AM rooted with jmz kernel, unlocked and twrp
2. This WILL lock and unroot my phone automatically, correct? I don't have to do it before?
3. If the answer to the above is yes, I will need to unlock it and root again?
4. Once this is done, can I flash my backup with twrp? Of course that assumes it will be wiped.
Sorry again for what's most likely annoying questions. This is my only phone and bricking it would be bad, worse than other devices that are just for entertainment. I VERY tempted tojust plug in my phone and run ruu but I really want to know exactly what will happen.
For all the threads here I'm surprised this isn't being talked about.

***ok. I finally read the return to stock section and it also is done with ruu. And you do need relock boot loader. Of course this means it will wipe my data.
Sorry. I've read that post before but skipped right over that section. I thought there might be a better way.
TWRP must be essential to flash the kernel but otherwise it really complicates the update process. Without it I could just unroot with Supersu or other tool, take the ota then reroot.
I wonder what differences are in the ROM for pre-paid and contract customers?
Naturally this thread is in relation to the AT&T supplied phones for an RUU with 1.53.502.11 / 1.53.502.12 ( 1.53.502.12 for pre-paid devices)
On HTCdev the main version for the WWE phone is currently only 1.31.401.2, with the Australia (Telstra) as 1.31.841.3.
I have the Australian Telstra supplied HTC Desire 610 (Navy Blue) and it is running 1.31.841.3 with Kernel version 3.4.0-g29bee57 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Does anyone know of an RUU for the WWE ROM? or know if the AT&T 1.53.502.XX kernel version is 3.4.0 or 3.4.10 or other?
OTA Update
I received an OTA today on my AT&T 610.I'm rooted with boot loader unlocked and on rooted stock.I copied the OTA file if anyone is interested.I'll upload it and make a shared dropbox folder.There isn't any version info that I can see.I'm.not equipped to read the build prop inside the zip at the moment.Any interest just let me know.

I'd say it's just a prep update for the lollipop we are supposed to get in March.

I heard we weren't getting lollipop till next fall...did they bump it up or was my info wrong?
That did seem like a long wait. By that time a new os might be rolling out!
From what I be read we can expect it.in mid March.I will try to hunt my reference points back up so you can have a look too.

And if its not too much trouble would u try to summarize how you got the update? Did you just relock bootloader, factory reset via HTC menu and take a normal ota? Then unlock it and root again?
Ive rooted and flash ROMs on a few devices already but am surprisingly still confused about this. This phone's gotten so little attention there just isn't much out there to learn from.
Not to mention it'll be a bit time consuming since the PC I used to root this has since died so I'll need a new token. That's where the ruu adds another layer of confusion--as far as I know it doesn't automate the unlock so where's the benefit there? Once you're unlocked, running root tool is easy ...and if you have to unlock and unroot anyway--at that point wouldn't just allowing the ota be easier?
You see. I've got lots of questions. Any help would be much appreciated. Running same firmware 6 months now.
More recent Firmware?
Anyone have an RUU for a more recent firmware? I actually flashed an older version than this (the one in the return to stock thread) thinking it was the latest.
I left it on there for I think around 24 hours,waiting for an ota update before rooting but it never happened so I thought it was already the latest version.
help
plz i will need ur help i have a problem with my htc desire phone can u help me?
this is my email shld in case i might not visit this site often [email protected]
Thanks
anyone have a copy of the ruu anywhere?
