I found a pretty easy way to get the JB update on my Razr Maxx.
Go here http://d-h.st/vCW on your phones browser and download the file.
Move the .zip to your SD card.
(If your unsure on how to do this i went into files>internal storage>find the .zip>long press and select move>click the back button on your phone>select SD card.)
Hold both volume buttons and power at the same time and scroll down to recovery.
Once in recovery select appl update from SD and find the file and select with power button.
Give it about 10-15 minutes BAM! Jellybean 4.1.2
"Found it", huh? lol

I know you mean well, but 90% of the people in here who updated to JB have done it by sideloading it this way.

Not stupid. Nobody really knows yet. There's a good chance this will be the OTA.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
This is/was an official update. When they finally release another official update they will now have to include everybody updating from ICS as well as everybody who already took the JB update. Should be no problem to update OTA next time.

Im assuming when the official OTA comes out there will just be some bug fixes from what we have now. So far i haven't noticed anything everything is a lot smoother.

What gives here?
I installed this "update" as directed and was successful. However, my version is still 4.0.4 ICS but shows the 6.16.211 build. Is this supposed to be a Jelly Bean build or is this actually an ICS build?
Any clarification would be appreciated and thanks!
Thats odd. Mine is 4.1.2. It is a jellybean build. Do you have google now and stuff like that?

I am pretty sure you are still running ICS. Android and build should reflect the change. Did your lock screen clock change fonts? Notifications pull down change it's look?

You're still running ICS, not the new JB. The JB leak is Android 4.1.2, Build #: 9.8.20-72_VZW-8
Hi I am just about to receive the razr maxx running ics, its the uk version. Will I be able to update this uk version of the maxx using the method described by the OP ? I am assuming you have to root the phone to do this so would appreciate
a link on how its done on the maxx. I own a Note 2 and have rooted that so am familiar with the process on a Samsung phone.
Thanks for all replies

How you find out about this .206 build? Did you hear from another site or did you check with the cheesecake app?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Wow they're really cranking it now.
But no. We will never be able to fastboot back again, so if that's what you're looking for, you won't find it. They are building on top of previous builds, they will not move backwards.
I just checked it tonight. That's how I found it. I was looking around xda to see if anyone had upgraded to that build. But it doesn't seem like anyone has. I was thinking that might be the official OTA since I thought I read it was being pushed out this week

Just download the cheesecake app and open the app. Then change the server to stav them click the one that has the number 100 in it. Then click update and it will download the update to your phone

I'm bummed about ICS, too.
I did the update and headphone jack no longer is recognized. I use it everyday in my car. It's not lint in the port.
Anyone have ideas about a fix? I'd rather not root, but I'm on the road enough that I can't go on a trip without Pandora out the headphone jack in the aux port of my car...
Thanks,
Chris
UPDATE: Called Verizon and they immediately sent out a replacement. It was a refurb, but you couldn't tell at all. "Refurbs" are probably products that had the original retail boxes damaged. New phone is on 2.3.6... not sure I'm going to update again.
Check out HTC Sensation theme and app thread. Google now will work on RAZR ics .211. With exception of voice search. But its a start and looks awesome can't wait until its fully functional.

You need to be rooted, but Google just releases android 4.1 source, so a Jelly Bean build is in the works I'm sure. I would just be patient, it'll come soon enough

Will the root method for the December JB OTA update that got pulled work on this one? Or can root saver be used to update to the soak but keep root?
I use my wifi hotspot as my primary internet so I do not want to loose root, but the update I got in December that got pulled is not very stable.
I'm not sure i haven't updated yet. But from what I've read if you use ota root keeper it should save your root. I will report back when i update
