Hi, I used TB at first, then I found NoBloat. When I used TB I froze some apps maybe even uninstalled them I can't remember but now I can't update OTA because I am missing SmartCarDock.apk. The odex is there.. I don't know if the OTA will be missing other apks.. I did a factory reset but the missing app did not come back. So what can I do to get my phone back to an OTA state?
Thanks
Is there noone who can point in the right direction?
My phone info:
651.73.30-XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
android 2.3.5
6.5.1-73_SPU-11-M1-2
How do I confirm that I have unrooted? Superuser does not have root anymore, but it is still installed in system/app... Is it full unrooted?
Can I re-flash with 2.3.5 to get it back to stock so I can flash the OTA from moto or should I just do the manual flash using the 1.7 utility?
Thanks

I am ready to install the latest update to my x2, but i am currently rooted and have the pulldown toggle zip and crt animation on my device, as well as the supercharger script, i know its very easy to remove the supercharger script,but would the crt or pulldown effect the install? Anyone encountered this issue yet?
thanks for the help.

In order for you to update your gonna have to sbf back to 2.3.3 if that's what your on. If not, then the update will fail because of the root. You will be able to update once you sbf & wipe data in stock recovery as well just to be safe. Hope that helps
Edit: this is for if you are trying to get the ota...sorry I should clarified that first
thanks for the help that basically clears it all up, seeing as im fairly happy with it right now im going to leave well enough alone, when they roll out a bigger update i will consider it, thats what i figured i was going to have to do.

Just use titanium backup then and back to stock, do the update and reload ur apps. Takes all of about an hour, tops.
Droid X2 - Eclipse v1.0
yeah i have all of that done already, i might give it a try, thanks
Rp...I don't think it will fail just due to root. U WILLA lose ur root.
It most likely WILL fail due to the mods/or rom u run due to missing files that are necessary.
if u are stock rooted I think it would work...but either way good idea to go back bone stock just to avoid any issues altogether
im running the completely stock rom, removing the script i have isnt an issue what so ever, is there any way to remove installed zips that were installed in the recovery?

True always better to be safe than sorry
if your on stock and you want to return your animations to stock you could possibly extract framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ of the stock gingerbread and push it via adb to your phone or you could use root explorer to do so as well. that should erase your mods to animations. and you'll most likely have to reboot after. but animations should retrun to stock after, than unroot and take the ota. but its never a bad idea just to go to bone stock via sbf as rp076 suggested
For taking off the toggles u can just flash the stock notification zip from one of those threads I think it is there somewhere. Or ask the creator of the toggle zip u flashed for the stock one...
But ur safest bet is sbf and data wipe. It's not hard to do at all and is just a good thing to know how to do
I recovered my stock rooted backup from eclipse .8 and took the OTA no problem. You will lose root but Pete's one click will work to root again. You won't lose any apps.

Why do people keep thinking that just because you have root you have to SBF.. Root has nothing to do with the OTA update..
If you try and it fails it's not due to root, it would have to do with something frozen, or you have OTA Blocked with Rom Manager, or something else changed...
Of all the phones out there I can't think of any (ever) that have blocked OTA updates just because of root access.. In fact OTA Blocking had been added in to Rom Manger a few years back to prevent the OTA updates so people wouldn't update and lose root on updates that were not rooted yet.
On a side note, why would you SBF to 2.3.3 instead of just going to 2.3.4? You're just adding an extra step there. That would be like flashing back to Froyo SBF (what's the point?) if you want 2.3.4 GB..

Calm down killa...just stating what I know thru past experiences & I'm not the only one who's had the problem before. When the 2.3.3 update first came out I couldn't update because my phone still was rooted, NOTHING FROZEN OR REMOVED. I read in other threads at the time that sbf'ing was the way to fix the problem. Once i did that, i was able to get the update installed successfully. Its not a wrong procedure, but a way to be sure to get a clean install. And as for flashing back, I was saying to do that if he wanted the ota
Side note...rom manager isn't or hasn't even been available yet for this phone ...surely you knew that
Hi, I do a stupid OTA update to Android 2.3.6 on my XT910S (Korean version) right after i bought it, not yet rooted.
Now i can NOT root, even with ZergRush v2,v3,v4
Can i go back to 2.3.5 to root? Would anyone help me please?
I'm a new user so... sorry for my ignorance
Thanks so much!
Just flash the fastbootfile of the 2.3.5 version
Root it and back up root with the OTA rootkeeper, update to the 2.3.6 and restore root
--> 2.3.6 with root
Use ota rootkeeper before upgrading

Use EU version, far better than Asian version. As far as I kmown, there is still no asia retail fastboot file.
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk
or just use the search function to locate the Retail.en.EU flash files of 2.3.5 from EternityProject with the own Flash method.
- flash to 2.3.5 (start in fastboot mode and run the fla****-file)
- gain root with zergrush
- load OTA rootkeeper from the market
- "protect" root with rootkeeper app
- OTA to 2.3.6
- restore root via OTA rootkeeper
I have done the same thing i have the USA version with verizon i want to go back to 2.3.5. where is a thred on how to fastboot and were do i get the file.the file i have is this one VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml.zip. Im new with the razr done many sbf on the droid x.
You may not have to go back now...
Warning, I am not rooted YET, but this link seems to suggest that we can now root after the OTA without the Safestrap/bootstrap. Check it out and good luck!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492708
You the man works great thanks.
I am not going back, it fixed my day by day data droping.
I know I read before that on a rooted Razr OTA's will not work. I ran the unroot method and it was successful and removed the recovery on boot since the process requires a reboot apparently. After all that the OTA still fails. On my previous android device I usually just downloaded a rooted version of the updates from here and never had a problem but I cant find that to be an option for the Razr.
Im on 6.11.748 xt912 for VZW, attempting to install OTA 6.12.173. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Why don't you try flashing stock vrz rom?
Here's the files

I have read many time in other threads that the root did not affect OTA updates!
So, what is the truth??
I have a rooted version (651.167.21 eu stock, rooted with motofail)...I have to reflash a 2.3.6 stock rom awaiting OTA release to ICS?

I think you should be on this To: 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US before flashing OTA, get it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362956&page=40

Correct. Root does not affecting OTA updates, IF, no changes had been made in certain system partitions. Example, Motomizer app changed /system/build.prop which will fails the OTA updates. So do backup before using certain apps which need root.
Good luck.
TQ.

I use simple apps like light flow...I don't think it can modify system files...I hope!!

I will give that a shot later when I get home, thanks.
I know there must be mentioning somewhere, but I couldn't find it...
Please forgive me for asking the obvious.
I have Razr Maxx with stock rom and have only rooted.
Should I unroot the device before receiving the ICS OTA?
Many thanks for your kind help!
If you just installed root there's no problem but if you removed any system app then you'll need to flash stock 2.3.6
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
If you installed bootstrap, you'll also need to remove that. You can't upgrade with bootstrap installed or root. I spent about 10 hours today figuring out that CWM was preventing the OTA from installing properly.
Thanks pedrotorresfilho and brgr,
Thanks!
I haven't deleted any system app nor have installed CWM.
All I have done is install Titanium back up, Wi-Fi Tether and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper.
I guess I am okay.
I will look at these SU required apps if anything goes wrong...
BTW, I am still waiting for the OTA...
Many thanks!!
hi
With 651.167.20.XT910.Retail.en.EU can get ICS directly from Motorola.Or I have to go to stock
thanks
I accepted the OTA for NC5 for my phone awhile ago and I would like to get warranty service on it because the screen is flickering. Does anyone know how to unroot the NC5? I rooted using safe strap and downgrading the system sans kernel and re updated with the rooted version of 4.4.2 I searched and could not find any guides and I was not able to find any original stock OTA upgrades to re flash Verizon OTA that they sent out before. Does anyone have any locations or ideas on how to undo the root? For giggles I did try the whole get rid of supersu from the system folder and uninstall supersu.ya that works for all but 5 minutes until you factory reset and it is built in. So I at least gave it the college try... :angel: Any suggestions or possible solutions?
