NO! There is no way back to GB after u have upgraded to ICS
why would you ever want to go back to gb?? With my phone it was worse signal and battery life was alittle worse... probably from it dropping 4g all day

I'm on Telstra in Australia and when I updated to ICS the radio improved out of sight. Reception and signal strength is noticeably better, and that annoying "invalid sim card" message stopped.
GO ICS!!!
I want to return to GB because now on ICS it doesn't find any update for the final version of ICS when I'm searching for update, while others in my country have already the final one
Oh,again this thread? EVERYONE ALREADY SAID THAT U CANT DOWNGRADE, MODERATORS, please, close this spma thread and maybe we can post a banner saying about downgrade. Dude, how boring r this people that cant search and become always a troll.

Unfortunately, you can't. This is due to the signed bootloader version. When we all upgraded to ICS to changed the bootloader signature to a higher number than GB. From what I understand if you try to, it will either softbrick you or will simply fail.
I'm interested to know more about your situation, are you on a custom ROM or anything? Typically if the phone won't update, you somehow found a way off the upgrade path.
Also, disregard that guy who yelled at you. I know we all have heard this downgrade issue about 1000 times but those of us who regularly post and help people don't condone yelling at people.

my razr maxx is unlocked. How I canrevert it back to GB?
Thanks for your help
Tristan
Unlocked? or rooted? Two different things.
Only way to be unlocked is too have gotten one of the very rare developer edition razrs.
Other than that, rooted, you still have a locked, encrypted bootloader. Simply put you are locked with the ics kernel, and can't go back to stock gingerbread.

If you s-off ruu back to the gb ota and go to settings and check for update
1.) pics or it didnt happen
2.) this is the wrong section. this should be in the general or QA because you asked a question. the development section is for rom development.
3.) if you saw this on htc website, it still hasnt dropped

You can not... you need to wait for a zip or RUU to be able to load over a custom rom. If it is true that ICS has been released officially you can convert back to stock easy if you are S-Off and then pull down the update.

The Rezound's update was definitely supposed to drop with the DROID Razr, and that update has come out. So I though, since it was supposed to be released simultaneously, it was out. Sorry guys, it'll be out very soon though, probably within the next week or so

You should back up your data, boot into stock recovery or if you're using custom recovery (cwm/bootmenu) and do a factory wipe. It's painful as you'll have to set up your phone again from scratch but it will fix most of your issues with apps crashing.
I love my photon with a passion except for the bloat ware. I want the stock android launcher on my phone. I hate the moto crap. I want to run everything straight google on my device with out rooting. But if their is a 100% vanilla rom out there that be nice too.

This can only be done with root. But honestly rooting takes 5 minutes and can be reversed so there is no reason not to. Universal deblur, compliments of lokifish.

It was a leak, we need a new leak from Motorola, this was not a hack at all so we can't just reuse something.
First of all, THANK YOU everyone for taking some time to answer every question. I really appreciate it. I have been reading, and reading for hours...my eyes are starting to bleed.
So... there is NO WAY we can get a better Android than the 2.3.5?
My build number says 4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0, that means I cannot unlock the bootloader, isn't it?
Is there another way (hack?) to improve the performance of the cellphone? I have root it, just to change some files I couldn't, e.g. the sound of the camera.
And finally... is it THAT bad being stucked on 2.3.5?

Some people are trying to use kexec, which is a way to bypass the bootloader and install a rom. it will take some time though. I'm not stuck on 2.3.5 so i cant comment on that.

The reason I was asking if I was stuck on 2.3.5 was regarding to my build number. I don't know how to conclude it's an ota or not.
You can attempt the Pudding Bootloader unlock, it is unlikely to succeed, but it may be possible. You do risk bricking the device though.

Unlocked bootloader
Well, it appears that I am still the only Photon owner around with 2.3.5 and an unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately mine was some sort of freak accident that it happened. I can run run custom recovery and flash all day long. Unfortunately if I install a ROM with any other version (or maybe it's the kernal) it will not work. It will boot up fine but nothing will connect at all. I've tried almost all of them........

on ICS can used GSM (not in US), how about on JB? GSM (data-call) can work?
You could load a ics based rom that uses a kexec kernel with safestrap or boot manager, but (I could be wrong) I believe the locked bootloader prevents downgrading your actual system kernel

Thank you. Seriously people learn to search and learn to read. IT SAYS WHEN YOU FLASHED IT THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO GO BACK TO ICS, SO DONT FN ASK AND ASK AND ASK AND ASK AFTER YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you were not sure about the upgrade, then why did you do it in the first place? Also, why the hell do you want to go back anyways, it actually makes the phone work properly. No more random Wifi glitching forcing you to reboot to go back on Wifi, no more issues toggling between wifi and 4g, better battery life, faster phone, I even got better incomming call clarity. But you know I should go back to ICS for some bullet to the head reasoning!

Not to argue, but I'm experiencing my maxx on JB a whole hell of a lot slower than ICS... working properly? I don't think so... unless regular freezing and crashing/rebooting is what you're referring to.
btw, it was a complete, regrettable accident when I accidently pressed "install" on the constant incessant request to install the update it automatically downloaded to my phone. never asked for that to happen either.
So, perhaps if we just simply root JB, remove all the numerous apps that we don't use, then it should "work properly"? anyone know what what I'm saying?
