I have a Droid RAZR that I've ran several roms on.
I am currently on .173 stock rooted. I've unrooted in the past and tried to take on the .181 OTA but it will not install the update. I take from other threads is due to me deleting certain system files I've seen as bloatware?
I am wanting to get to ICS then load Simplex 1.2.
How would you go about getting to ICS if your phone was stuck on .173 and wouldn't willingly update?
I know I can force it but am unsure if I am safe doing so or not..
Thanks for any help.

From what I can tell, you're either going to have to restore those system files or use RSDLite to flash it back to stock

OK. I got my Maxx a few days ago, rooted and downloaded TitaniumBackup to freeze some apps.
I deleted a few apps thinking I'd never use them, but as it happens the backup I did before deleting them was corrupt. There's no way to get the apps back...SOOO as I'm downloading the OTA update it fails saying the /system/app/dnla.apk is wrong.
Yes...I deleted DLNA and News 2.3.5 and can't get the files back.
Is there a way to flash the phone back to complete stock...no root...no nothing so I can get the OTA? My bad for rushing into things, but it's been so long since using a Moto device I can't remember how to flash it back to stock.
I held the Vol+- and power, went to Recovery and did a factory wipe but it's still rooted and I need to get it back to stock.
Ideas? Flame on.
Thanks

I run into the same issues while trying to install the update. I ended up following the directions in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416058
Wife has a Razr MAXX through Verizon. I have previously rooted it and frozen some Bloat, but aside from that, it is stock. Android 2.3.6 and System ver 6.12.181.XT912.
Recently, the phone started getting Software update notifications, I am assuming this is the OTA ICS. My question is if I can somehow upgrade the phone to ICS (not a custom ROM, but stock or very stock-ish) and either not have to wipe the phone, or not have to unroot and the re-root (if that is even possible on ICS yet.)
Loaded questions, sorry, but I just want my wife to experience ICS without her b*tching about custom ROMs and so I can backup her APK+Data in Titanium.
Thanks in advance of your responses!

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and just did a complete App/Data backup and flashed the Fastboot ICS files using RSD Lite. So far, it looks like things went well and I will root it and restore. Sorry for creating this thread, I guess I am too antsy!
Ok, so my Droid RAZR MAXX is still on Android 4.0.4. It is rooted and I've tried SO MANY different things to do the OTA update. Most recently I backed everything up, temp un-rooted & did a factory data reset, then tried updating again. I may have removed a program with TitaniumBackup so the update may be failing the check. Though I don't know how to see which program was removed.
How do I manually update to stock 4.1.2? Yes, I searched but I either didn't find it or I did and it got lost among the many tabs I had open trying to find the answer.

Have you tried this? http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...inux-all-in-one/page__pid__227369#entry227369
I did see that before I was ready to wipe everything on my phone and forgot about it, I'll give it a try.
Ok, so that worked. Wow, wish I tried that a long time ago. Thanks!

Wow, I am having the exact same issue. Matter of fact I posted here too but did not get a reply but have seen the utility you used. Guess I will give that a shot. Of course I already did a factory reset and to no avail, it didn't work. Not sure what I could have done to cause the issue with no OTA success, but I will now try the Utility. Glad you posted and someone answered.
Matt's Utility is amazing. Saved me a lot of time trying to fix problems and its a one stop shop for the OTA update and rooting your phone. Just be aware that this puts you on the .16 kernel and I only know of 6 roms that will work with it right now and not put you in a boot loop (which was my orig problem.)

You can use that to take you to the .8 leak so you can install ROMs based on the leak
part of the problem is im trying to do to many things at once.but they all seem to be related to this update
i believe its 98.72.16 update
fails even in fastboot
reading online it seems like the issue is because some stuff has been removed or modified(bloatwear remove) and thats causing the issues
my phone razr max 912
stock rom
kernal .215 i blieve
4.0.4
ss3.11
voodoo for unroot

based on my past experience, simply reinstalling apps and removing root does not work. I have always had to use RSD lite and re-flash the phone with stock software to update, then re-root and debloat again.

Hey all!
I've been struggling with this issue for almost 2 weeks now, I used the Droid Razr Utility by MattLGroff to upgrade from GB -> JB without realizing that there was supposed to be an intermediate step of going from GB -> ICS. So the result of the upgrade has left my display acting all crazy where about a 1/3 of the screen is all garbled, looks like it's displaying noise like an old TV (see attached picture).
I'm able to get root and I install Safestrap 3.11 but when I boot the phone I can't get SS to appear. There is a pause in the boot process as if SS is there waiting for input but nothing I do gets it to boot. I also tried BootMenueManager where I select reboot into recovery and all I get is a black screen where the recovery screen should appear. I've tried re-flashing with the utility about 5 times without any change
So my question is simple, does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do to fix this?
Why can't I flash back to GB or go to ICS? All i've read is that it's not possible and haven't really come across any real reason why it doesn't work.
I appreciate any help you can provide!
Thanks!
You can't go back from Ics to Gb same as from Jb to Ics.
And you can't have Bmm and Safestrap at the same time,just one.
Did you tried flashing the rom with Rsd Lite?

Just saying that you can't go back to a previous version doesn't tell me the why aspect though. It's missing from a lot of the information out there.
When you say installed on the phone can you clarify? I have SS app installed but the recovery is not installed, i went and used SS's uninstall function but is that enough or do I actually have to remove the entire app? I'm not sure if this makes sense so let me know if i need to clarify.
I haven't tried RSDlite let since there are several other backup steps the lead up to do that from what I've been reading, I just haven't had the time yet. I assume it shouldn't be to hard to find the fastboot files for an XT912 Verizon JB but if you happen to have a known source for the files let me know!
Thanks!
