Hi guys, I'm new with the Android system, so please, sorry for being noob. Well, I just bought an Droid Razr (20 days ago) in Amazon, the GSM international version for use in Brazil, and it came with Android 2.3.6, and after reading about ICS, obviously I want to update my phone. The problem is, Motorola doesn't offers me the OTA update (and not through the menu about phone etc). My sister has the same phone and bought it here and she already received the OTA update to ICS. I'm freaking out here, I searched a lot of things, but don't know what to do. My phone system version is: 651.167.21.XT910.Retail.en.EU. Thanks for the attention

In pretty much the same situation as yourself, just bought a Razr Maxx here in the UK today from P4U. It is running 2.3.6 currently and have tried both over the air and through the Moto desktop software but to no avail.
I am on 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU.
Help anyone?
Same problem, UK retail wont upgrade to ics, emailed moto and they asked if I had rooted, havent so emailed back saying so and no reply yet, starting to wish id gone Samsung, had similar problem on my defy, i'm tempted to root but cant find any stable jelly bean roms (anyone?) also woould like to delete the need for speed demo that never even worked, also is this phone 4g capable? or is that just in the us?
Good to hear that is not only with me. I also tried with Moto Update Software and nothing. I can't find any official Motorola ROM to try to install also
Anybody? UP
Still a no!!! This is slightly silly and can't be good PR for Moto.
Right, so I got a little bored and went and did the flashing on RDS lite.
Its actually very simple to do it and took about 30 mins in all.
You can get the generic .xml file from here http://www.droidevelopers.com/showthread.php?13330-Download-RAZR-XT910-Stock-4-0-4-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-fastboot-XML
Then just extract so you can get the .xml file.
Easy enough to do and with 5 mins I got another update which I presume is a fix for some of the bugs.
Just a little proof here. Heres a screen grab of my newly updated phone.

Yesterday I tried the Razrguy video on youtube and it didn't work. But I learned how to load flashboots on my device. So the flashboot you posted, will it work on my device? It's running the 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU
I just have to use the RSD light to flash it on my device? There's no problem to loading it on gingerbread?
I can't possibly see why it wouldn't work on your device. I was using RSD on windows 7. Like i say fairly simple process.
Oh and no i didn't root or unlock any bootloaders.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
sorry probably sound stupid, but when i unzip the file to extract the .xml its tiny, do i just leave this in its directery and point rsd lite at it?
I made a new folder on my desktop and extracted to there then point RSD to that .xml in the folder.

Hello fellow Spice owners!
I'm working on developing some custom firmware for the XT300 and eventually the XT311/316, but to get started I need some ROM dumps.
Ideally I need a dump of both the 2.2 FroYo and 2.3 Gingerbread firmwares.
If you've never dumped a ROM before it's not too hard.
First you need a rooted phone. I don't have XT31x hardware yet, but SuperOneClick should work for the 2.2 ROM and there are detailed instructions for rooting 2.3 in the Q&A forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218506
For the rest of the instructions, there is a simple to understand set of directions at M3.
http://modmymobile.com/showthread.php?t=559669
Thanks in advance,
Martin

i could have given u a rom but i crashed mine, so i need as well a rom
its quite difficult to find Fire XT316 threads because of the lack of a own Forum section
-> a own Forum can be pushed here: Link vote +1
I doubt the XT311/316 will get a forum just yet, but I'm thinking maybe a unified XT300/311/316 forum maybe once we get some interest going with a ROM or two.

Then u would probably need to integrate the Fire XT531 as well.
=> Motorola Fire XT300/311/316/530/531 Forum
AFAIK, the XT530/531 are not very closely related to the XT3xx line. They mostly just seem to share cosmetic similarities with a different hardware platform.
Edit:
Ignore what I just said, upon further inspection they do appear to be related, just based on the newer/faster msm7227T SOC.
Looks like I've got another device to add to my list.

What model spice? You could probably still have done a repair with RSD lite, asuming there is an SBF for your model.

Yeah, tweak the hell outta mine too. I've actually changed the VM heap settings without tanking mine, btw, I do have a ROK dump already and backups that can be flashed with fastboot in case of emergency.
There is no publicly available SBF for us. Just the ones that the authorized Moto repair facilities have access to. Wish I could get my hands on that.

I put my vm too low and started boot looping and it wouldn't respond to adb . What's a ROK dump? I wish we could get the sbf too..... Btw how much experience do you have with building roms? I concluded that I don't have enough experience plus the locked bootloader is really annoying.

Just found this
" Hi Xiao, I found a way to download the SBF file from Motorola for the Brazilian Rom, here it is: You need the Motorola Software Update (MSU) Any time after the MSU detect your IMEI number, Model Number and Operator, You need to reboot your phone and press and hold “Space” key, don’t close your MSU your phone will be in RSD/BOOTLOADER mode and the MSU will continue with the following message “The update process has been interrupted and must be restarted.” click Retry And it give you the SBF for your firmware. MSU will download the SBF file and put it in C:\Program Files\Motorola\Software Update\firmwares. it also created a file Retail – Brazil_Brazil_WCDMA_RETBRXT300WN.xml.msu who tell to motorola the file to download. As soon the file is download and the MSU prepare the installation it is important to copy the SBF to another location because it will be deleted when finished. Once you have copy the file you can stop the installation. Someone tried this with a Canadien rom but the MSU doesn't detect the Model Number and Operator."
could you give this a shot?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Good ecfort!
Unfortunately I've tried it before, but it won't work. Motorola never released any Canadian SBF to the public update server as far as I can tell. They have two SBF servers. The "public" one which the Motorola Software Updated uses and the "private" one, which requires a secure authenticated session and is only available to authorized Motorola Service Centers.
Also, that was supposed to read "ROM dump"
I did a dump of my system, boot and recovery partitions. I've got them all in .img files which are flashable by fastboot.
Handy for recovering from a messed up build.
I've only ever built a few ROMs, but I think I can pull it off.
The plan is to start simple with trying to get FroYo from an XT316 to run on a XT300. The hardware is near identical, except for the upgraded CPU, so it should be simple.
Then on to an AOSP FroYo build. Eventually I'm going to try to get GB running too, but that might be too much for the limited hardware.
Of course, I'm stuck with the stock 2.6.29 kernel due to the bootloader lock, so no overclocking or kernel tweaks.
I'm also going to try and get an AOSP build done for the XT311/316 once I get my hands on the firmware.
Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
Darn..... well that's alright. When we get froyo its going to be so much better. I find that even after i removed the spicy.apk there were still lots of motorola stuff running in the background :/. When do you think you will have an experimental rom?
Hello everyone,
I am new to the forums, actually this is my first post.
I got a Motorola Razr XT910 and couldn't be any happier. The phone is awesome and fast and everything is amazing.
i did one update once i got the phone and it updated to 2.3.6 and the system version is 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 and i was frustrated because i live in the US and i bought the Phone from an online store(NEWEGG) for $480,
So now i am stuck on Asia system software.
The question is, Is there a way to get a system software like a US or EU software ? and is it worth it ? what are the differences ?
Also one more thing, when i watch videos from the DESKTOP YOUTUBE and OTHER VIDEOS ONLINE(High Definition MP4) or stuff like that. i find like a little black horizontal lines on the top of the screen(its barley visible) in fact no one from can see it except me XD. so i was wondering if there is a driver or update or something ? as it don't happen when i watch normal YouTube on the YouTube app nor i can see it when using the phone normally.
Thank you all. Hope i will find answers in this forum.
Hi there,
I was in your situation, only in Europe, not in the US. So I switched my AsiaRetail ROM to a en.EU retail and I've had no problems whatsoever. What you need to do is read these three topics:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539192 - get RSD Lite and the Moto drivers from here, install them before attempting anything else;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362956 - get a ROM of your liking then go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567 - and read how to root (if you want, that is).
As for the black lines, I really can't help you as I don't watch online videos on my phone.
If you need further help, let me know.

Man, thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate the effort. I really do !
Just one more question though, whats the difference ? and when will i be getting the official ICS upgrade ? and will it come faster on EU or Asia retail ? or both are the same ?
You don't want US because that is Verizon software, for the Xt912 (CMDA). I suggest you get EU, to obtain the fastest set of updates for the GSM razr.
What happens if i change it to the EU.Retail ? will i still be able to get updates and ICS officially ? will this void my warranty ? please help !

Yes you will get OTA ICS and it shouldn't void any warranty as long as your remove root (should you hand it back in)
So if i change the ROM to EU i have to root but after changing the ROM and everything is fine then i need to remove the root ?
i heard that root is not removable ?! right ?
i have Asia retail in US and it works beautifully. i see no reason to change.
the only reason why i want to change it is because i hope that the phone will get updates faster and the camera will work better and the phone performance will be better too
so after installing the motorola drivers, download the RSD lite and the eu retail rom whats next? im already rooted
Ok firstly im no stranger to Android, and not entirely new to Moto (Atrix 4G), but I have to say that the RAZR has me pretty confused.
I have a Rogers RAZR being delivered that I picked up on the cheap. Its brand new and supposedly "unlocked". I would love to get ICS running on it, but despite reading the treads here for the last couple of days im still uncertain if its possible
I have used RSD before with the Atrix, but it was only to apply a patch that would allow you to unlock the bootloader (also surprised to see that the RAZR is still locked down). I know that you can flash ROMs via RSD, but what I do not understand is whether or not root and custom recovery is required? I assume that if you're flashing an official ROM, then no it is not. Correct? I also thought that flashing full sbf files was dangerous to attempt. Maybe im way off here, I don't know.
Im still a bit confused about the GSM patch for CDMA ROMs too. People seem to report issues with their phones when this is done. So im not too sure that it is a good idea to go that route either.
I understand that when things start to happen for a phone in terms of ROMs, recovery, work-arounds etc... that it can get a bit messy in the forum and things can get buried a few pages back, but i've been reading until my head hurts and i'm still uncertain where to begin. Also, there is an update that is also "supposedly" beginning this month for official ICS, but we all know that could be delayed, and delayed, and delayed. Wondering if I should just wait.
I guess I'm really hoping for someone to say do this, then this, and this...viola! I don't need an in depth step by step as I know how to figure out instructions from their respective threads. But if someone has a min to post a point form list like
Root with Motofail
Install Boot to CWM
Flash this ROM
Then this ROM etc etc...
Any help is appreciated and I hope no one thinks im asking to have my hand held here, but im at a loss. Just don't want to F my new phone when it arrives.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help a fella out.

A. Yes. If you're flashing an official rom you do not need root/cwm. Flashing full sbf with rsd is safer than cwm restoring a nandroid backup. But if you do you'll not be able to receive further otas updates. Bootload is locked in Razr also there's a region signature verification. So you cannot flash another region rom. :/
Im still a bit confused about the GSM patch for CDMA ROMs too. People seem to report issues with their phones when this is done. So im not too sure that it is a good idea to go that route either.
A. Most of related problems on that is due bad procedure following.

A. There's one official update for latam razrs, like yours. The 2.3.6 > go into dev section and you'll find out. Ics will out in a month. Fingers crossed!

Just order a new atrix 4G. I have looked at the possible ROM's to use and I want to try out the Neutrino ROM. I have rooted devices before but I am new to Motorola devices. Please help me find the CURRENT steps I need to take to get to be able to run the Neutrino ROM? I have used the search bar but a lot of the threads that I have found contain links that are no longer valid. Such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 Also I read a this link http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/motorola-atrix-4g/ which has me a worried that I may end up having an issue because all of the guides or seem to have been written before May 15th.
Thanks for taking a look and sorry if that was a little confusing I just didn't want to get flammed for being lazy. In the end I just want to know the most up to date way to get to the Neutrino ROM?? Below I will have included the specs. If I need to post anthing else please let me know
I recieved my phone last night and set it up on Striaght Talk.
System version: 45.31.0.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.3.4
Your help is GREATLY APPRIECIATED!!
Also on the youTube videos they all seem to say "DO NOT DO TRY TO UNLOCK OR ROOT IF YOU HAVE 2.3.4 OR IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!"
Is this still the case or has there been a work around for it yet??
you have to unlock bootloader, but you can get FAIL with last step.
If you will get fail - don't worry, you can still unlock it via fastboot (tested on mine INTL Atrix, but every phone is a little bit different)
flash recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps. Done
Thanks ovitz. Can you point me to a thread describing how to unlock the bootloader on this phone?? I can do all the other stuff that you said I need to do after the bootloader is unlocked(clearing and flashing). Just really dont want to mess up my phone. I got 2 actually one for my girlfriend as well. I have java and all SDK/ADB and all programs that I may need. Just want a step by step for comfort.
Is the search not working for you?
http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1136261/
The thread is sticky even.
DISCLAIMER: I used this to unlock the BL on my Atrix, but mine is an older one, dating back to around Feb 2011. I do not know if this still works on brand new devices, however I am not aware of any other way to unlock (there probably isn't any other way really).
What is the other way (not using fastboot) to unlock this bootloader?? I tried fastboot oem unlock and got this message "INFOOEM unlock is not implemented"
Do I need to use an SBF with RSDlite or something to make this possible? If so please point me in the direction of that thread!?!
Thanks for anyone that can help

Sorry ravilov...Did not see your post as I had started a post and then ventured off to seach XDA and some other forums again as well. I have gotten to the link that you posted several times. I just saw that is was posted a long time ago and that there is a lot of things in that post that dont make too much sense to me.
First it says "All phones If you have unlocked then try to use 2.3.4 update zip from Motorola servers, then revert back to a "pre-unlock" version(1.8.3 or earlier on ATT) you will get bricked! Do not use the OTA via experimental servers and revert to older versions WITHOUT pudding preinstalled in your sbf. ATT ONLY Get your 1.8.3 with pudding from the pudding/unlocker section below."
Then shortly after is says "Disclaimer: Tested on 1.8.3 and 2.3.4 using sbf_flash and RSDLITE 5.3.1 or higher, usual warnings being responsible for your own actions yada yada"
So I dont really know if it works or not on the newer atrix's. I dont want to brick a brand new phone and I would just like to see that some one else has done it recently. So yes my eyes are open and search did work for me if you did not see the 2 other threads I mentioned. I just want something up to date, not from early 2011. If it can be confirmed that this works or If you know someone who has unlocked it recently, that would be great to hear from them.
Thanks for posting the link to that thread anyways though. Much apprieciated!
Can anyone tell me if the IHOP method to unlock bootloader will work with my phone?? I cant post in that thread because I do not have enough posts. Here are my specs so I could get some help with which patch to use with RSDlite.
System version: 45.31.0.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03
Model number: MB860
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: N_01.100.00R

APflex version: GAS_ASIA_USAOLYGBSEART_P011
GAS_ASIA_USAOLYGBSEART_A003
GAS_ASIA_USAOLEMSEARET_M001
Build number: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
Something else I want to note is that it was bought on ebay as unlocked so I am assuming that is the radio. When I set up the APN for straight talk it did have the choices for AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, AT&T US MMS. So this is why I am a little confused/scared as to which piece of pudding to use. It looks easy enough to unlock and clear the caches and flash the ROM I will want to use. Just would like to know which one to use.
Please, please somebody help!!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks you for taking a look to help. Much apprieciated!!!
For a phone with the Asia Retail firmware, you'll want to use RSD Lite to flash the IHOP SBF. Your phone will likely enter a soft brick as stated above, just proceed with the unlock commands in fastboot from the error screen.
Since its an international phone, if you don't load a new ROM soon after unlocking then you'll need to flash the "RAMfix" from the Development section here. Most ROMs have that built in to the kernel, though, so it's not needed if you're going directly to a ROM.
In case you need it in the future, you might want to locate your stock SBF for Asia Retail and keep it on hand. If you see the Atrix Firmware Superthread in the Dev section, find the later Page that has new links to updated download sites. It's a post with a link to all Gingerbread firmwares and a link to all Froyo firmwares. Yours will have "searet" in the name. Make sure it's the same version, 2.3.4. Flashing anything older will brick you.
Good luck!

APNs are usually set by your SIM, if it's provisioned properly and the phone supports it.

Good to know About the APNs. Just to let you know I unlocked, rooted, and flashed the ROM the day you first replied. So I've been running with a new ROM for 3 days and the battery life is great!!
If anyone out there has installed the Neutrino ROM, I have one more question. On the Neurino ROM page it say to do these 2 steps:
"Then, after booting, click on script manager, navigate to /system/etc and run NitroCharger.sh as ROOT and at BOOT!
It is also HIGHLY recommended to download the GPS Mod found in #2. Then you're done."
I tried flashing the GPS mod but I keep gettng an error. Then on my first boot I tried going to /system/etc and from there I do not know where to locate NitroCharger to run it for either. Any help on these two issues would be great!! Also another thanks for everyone for taking a look and helping.
I would post in that thread but I still dont have enought posts.
You really need to reread the original Neutrino thread, since all of this has been answered countless times.
YOU DO NOT FLASH THE GPS MOD DIRECTLY. Open the ZIP and read the instructions.
NitroCharger is only available as an OTA update, but you might reconsider if you really want it since it's been known to cause issues.
Again, I know the thread is very large, but whatever questions or issues you might have, it's very likely answered there already.
Thanks you for just answering, even though you think I should just reread the thread. That answered my questions very fast. I will just not run Nitrocharger, I thought it may casue problems if I could not get it to run, instead you said it is the opposite. As for the GPS mod I just did open up the .zip and read the readme. I pulled out the United_States.zip
Can I just use CWM recovery to flash the US.zip now or do I have to clear all my caches and the likes beforehand?
I know your very busy and I apprieciate the time you take to just look at it.
I have just started my own business and it is going great!! but I have been working 14+ hour days with usually 9 hours hour doing very hard physical labor 6 days a week!! I need to hire more employees soon, lol. I read the whole IHOP thread from front to back and the Neutrino thread but I was very exhasted and stayed up until 330 in the morning doing it!! So again I thank you for taking your time I appriciate it very MUCH that you are helping me to have a fun android experiance and also to learn something new to me!!
Yes, you can just go ahead and flash United_States.zip. No need to clear anything.
Awesome your the MAN!! Thanks again :laugh: :good:
>>I'm just curious if anybody else has received notification of a new update from AT&T recently, and if so, what was it?
I've had my E970 for about a month now. When I first received the LGOG, I did receive a FOTA notification and did the update. Then
I rooted, unlocked BL and installed TheBase.
Last night, I received another notification regarding an OTA software update being ready to install. Since I was actually ok with the stock LG ROM, I made a backup and then went ahead and let the update install.
Most of you won't be surprised to hear that the device rebooted into recovery, I received an error message, and the update failed.
Luckily, I didn't brick anything. I like all the information we get before allowing an app to install, and I can't believe there is no info given about what an update to our OS might contain. A version number [4.0.4 or 4.1.2?] and a short description saying bugfix / security fix / new features would go a long way here.
Personally, I kinda like the LG touches to Android and am looking forward to the official JB update.
I plan on sticking with stock-based ROMS on this device until it's no longer supported and then going back to CM.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Baseband: APQ8064 / MDM9x15M
Kernel: 3.0.21
The Base 0.6.5
E97010l
I just checked for an update and...
now it says it is up to date?
I wish I had more information, and I DID search the forums and elsewhere to try and answer this myself first.
Now I'm thinking that AT&T is just trying to update me to their latest software and away from a custom ROM.
Incidentally, the OG is the first Android that I've actually done a FOTA on. I received the Atrix 4G and the X10a long after their release, and went immediately to custom ROMs.
It's just updates to E97010c. Nothing worth updating for.
