[Q] Update from 2.3.6 to 4.0 fails - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello all,
I am having trouble upgrading from 2.3.6 to ICS. I got an OTA notification for my Fido XT910 and when I tried to apply it, it told me that I did not have enough memory and to try performing a factory reset. After searching, I found that this was happening because my device was rooted. I removed root and tried again. Now, the update seems to work! It gets halfway through, then fails and reboots. I searched some more and found that something may be amiss in my file system.
So, I let the OTA upgrade download again, but this time I told it to "Install Later". I re-rooted my phone, copied the OTA file from my /cache folder to SD-EXT, unrooted, booted into recovery and finally tried to apply the update again. This time I found out what is preventing the upgrade from going through. It looks like it cannot find the file Videos.apk. Now, I don't know what this file is. I thought it might be Google Play Movies so I dumped into my /system/app/ folder as Videos.apk. No luck. I looked through the 2.3.6 upgrade file to find the Videos.apk file, but it only contained a binary update file (Videos.apk.p) and not the complete apk. I don't know what I can do to get the update to run successfully, without wiping!
Can anyone help me? Does anyone still have a Fido branded XT910 running 2.3.6 that they could extract the Videos.apk file from and send my way?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

If it helps, here is the error message I get when applying the upgrade file:

Thanks again!

Anyone have any ideas? I really can't find anything like this by searching through the XDA or other forums. I'm so close to fixing this, I would hate to stumble on this final step. Thanks again!

I dont know, I am in the same boat as you.
Accept im trying to flash from the released zip of the same file you are getting OTA.
I have temp unrooted with voodoo and same error.
Did a factory reset and still get same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's the error you're getting? I've worked past several issues so far, so maybe I can help you. I'm just stuck on this latest one.

I am getting

But after some research It appears I need to go back to stock ICS using the Droid Razr utility by matt. Then temp unroot with voodoo tool, flash the new update, then reroot with voodoo tool.

OK, I'm downloading Matt's utility right now. It's huge! About 1GB. I'll let you know how it goes.

If im reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38877887#post38877887 correctly then the update that went out today is only for those who got the xmas update.
If thats the case we will have to find the original xmas update first, then flash todays update.

Yes, this is my understanding as well. I need to update to ICS before I can update to JB.

Right, and then we have to find the JB update that was released at xmas.
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Pretty sure this is the JB xmas file
http://d-h.st/8l1

Yes, that is the correct file. It's for phones with the 211 ICS build. Also, Droid Life has the separate new JB file for phones on the 211 build, in case you want to install JB in one step.

DHomas did you get it sorted?
Ive got it figured out and am now on JB. BAM.
Step1: First of all, you will need to use the droid razr utility to go back to ICS.
You can get this tool at http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11872-droid-razr-utility-190-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/
IMPORTANT. Make sure you install moto drivers, and rsd lite. Both included with this utility download.
Make sure phone has usb debugging mode enabled.
Make sure when plugging phone into computer you disable mass storage mode.
Step2: Once on ics use the utility to also root again.
Step3: Once rooted, install voodoo and create a root backup.
Step4a: Put this file on your external SD card.
Droid life actually has the whole new file. So no need to flash xmas leak.
You can get it here - http://www.mediafire.com/?5ca5825kzojfv49
Step4b: Boot into recovery and install from sd. Choose the above linked file. Let it do its thing.
Enjoy.

Just a warning, after doing this even though the utility indicated root was done, and after JB installed voodoo is showing root but when trying to update the SU app it says FAIL when trying to gain root access.
Luckily root can be gained in JB using this http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6935-rootwindows-razr-blade-droid-razr-41-jb-root-exploit/

I can assure you OTA rootkeeper is not at fault. You must have modified files on there that are making the update fail. Please share a log of what went wrong on the update, seeing as that would make your problem much easier to fix.

[Q] XT912 JB Update problems

Hello. I have a Droid RAZR XT912 (Verizon) and am having troubles with the JB update. I have the update file from Dev-host. I have all bloatware apps unfrozen. I went through OTA and backup root, temp unroot, restore root, temp unroot, and restore root. I also cleared dalvik cache (through TiBU) and system cache (through stock recovery) before updating. Also, verified all MD5 checksums.
My screen after attempting to apply update reads as:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...

Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop",(assorted numbers and letters)

I looked around the forums to try to find a similar error, with a fix that worked, but none of them fit.
Other info:
I do not have safestrap installed, just rooted.
I AM on .211.
I would just really love to get this update. Thanks.
I kept getting that same error message. For me, it was because I had Eclipse installed as my ROM, so I couldn't update over it.
To fix, I fastbooted back to stock .211 ICS, then flashed the JB update through stock recovery. Then booted into JB, rooted using the newly found method, and installed a custom recovery. Haven't found another JB custom ROM that I like that works perfectly yet, so still on rooted stock JB for now.
Hopefully that will help you somehow.

Seems to be going well for me, now! I tried just doing a factory reset, and that didn't go. Ended up fastbooting with Droid Razr Utility 1.82, and the update seems to be going through for me! Will go ahead and use the new rooting method once it is complete, and then go through with restoring apps and other backups. Take a thanks.

OTA 98.72.16 Update Fails on Razr MAXX

I've got a rooted Verizon Razr Maxx that has received the OTA 98.72.16 update. It downloads, prompts me to install, gets 1/3rd of the way through then shows the update failed symbol (Android with red warning triangle).
It'll then restart and prompt me to redownload the update.
What is going wrong here? I've been through this cycle 3 times and I just want it to stick.
Been through the same exact thing. I had to back up all my data with TiBu, flash a bonestock ICS, then update, then restore data. I had to have help doing it and i didnt completly understand most of the things i was doing so i cant really help you but you might try installing the update from a external SD to see what error you get
OTA 98.72.16 update
Any advice out there on successfully completing the OTA update package from Motorola/verizon? I keep getting an update unsuccessful. Not sure I want work around it with factory reset and then going back and forth with data. The description of the benefits of the update are vague... not sure I need it that bad. Anyone have any inside scoop, advice or knowledge on this?

I used Razr Utility 1.82 to flash the phone back to completely stock .211, wiped the cache, installed from the SD and the update finally completed and stuck.
Did ya unroot or protect ya root from voddo root keeper . If not then try to do that it may help ya
Thx
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
its still not working for me, actually i cant get the razr utility to do anything... so i cant flash the stock version, any ideas on getting that working?
You must not have any modifications on your phone. No root (but you can protect root with OTA Root Keeper), no changed or deleted system apps, no changed baseband, kernel etc.
Do you have any of that mods?
I rooted using the utility, the main reason was to get rid of the bloatware, so no different roms or anything of that nature, I tried different booting options and running it and no luck, I am trying to unroot by rerooting with a different program, that will rewrite over the utility root that comes with a full unroot option. so far so good, unrooted and waiting while the ota downloads to install, wish me luck

If you got rid of bloatware apps that are put there by Verizon, then that is your problem. All of those bloatware apps need to be there and unfrozen for the update to take.
After fully unrooting i have had no luck i just tried installing from recovery and recieved the same errot message as the previous entry did. Goimgbto try to install one more time and then try reflashing the stock with the utility
I had to reset my RAZR to stock with Matt Groff's droidrazrutility to get the update to install. Be sure to backup your apps and data.
you may have some frozen apps or deleted apps
try to defrost them or reflash the rom

I was having the same problem. I had to uninstall Safestrap for the update to take. I used rootkeeper, unfroze everything, and it finally worked. I was able to keep root as well. I am so relieved. Hope this helps someone.

I appreciate everyone's time.
Seems like you probably froze or deleted an app like Sprint Zone, I'm assuming. Either replace the apps moved/removed or skip the OTA which sucks anyway and manually install the firmware via Odin. This is the preferred method as it is cleaner and you won't need to worry about fixing errors in the system like missing apps. Here is the latest version:

Good call on the Sprint Zone. This was the first app I got rid of once i got the phone. Thanks for the quick respond. I will have to flash it and re-root it; no biggie.
I did notice that tar file is for these versions and I have L720VPUFNAE
L720VPUFNG2; L720SPTFNG2; L720VPUFNG2
Would be ok to flash it to this NG2 instead of AE?

Silly me. It appears all I needed to do was enable Developer Mode and make sure the Dev Mode was set to active. I only did the first part and not the second.

If you have twrp installed can you make a backup after the update for us? Don't need the data backup just system,boot, etc. That would help a lot of people with the CC version. An updated factory image is rare for these.
I dont see either. Wierd
