I've seen the current root method for jb should work.

I lost root with the update, got it back with razr blade root! Thanks Dan

Yes, I can also verify the razr blade root method. I went from ICS .215 back to .211. I never rooted. Left it bone stock. I then side loaded the 98.72.16 JB update and rooted it with blade.
I was running the OTA Christmas Leak which I believe is 98.72.8. I was rooted using the RAZR BLADE method. I went ahead and accepted the 98.72.16 OTA update. The update went perfectly, however I lost root. I attempted to use RAZR BLADE to reroot with success. There was an error at step 3 stating a file already existed or something like that. I am wondering if the Smart Actions version is now too new for the exploit to work.
I have a droid razr with 98.72.16 and I want to root it.

I recommend Matt's Utility. It's an all in one, just make sure you fall in the instructions properly.

Noticeable diffrence is that RAZR and RAZR MAXXX in USA will get the ICS update in Q2. Before the update it was still in development stage!
Last information in Germany is the end of June, when the Maxx is going to sell in shops.
It was looking more and more like the May 21st - 23rd rollout was the real deal with the latest leaks, but this just made it REALLY real... Time will tell, but I'm rolling back to 181 now, to be safe...
Thanks for posting OP! I'm a giddy lil b!#@h all over again!

When it is available OTA, should I just use Matt's utility 1.51 to AP Fastboot back to 173 to get the OTA (currently on Eclipse ROM .173 base)? All I need to do is titanium backup, use option 1 on his utility, then root it, ota rootkeeper, then ota it right?
Do I uninstall bootstrapper or will the fastboot back to 173 take care of that?
I was already having a great day, last day as a sophomore in school, and now hearing /official/ RAZR ICS news...best day since getting this phone!

You'll need to let it update to 181 first, then to ICS. I'm not sure about retaining root, I went back to plain unrooted stock. Matt's tool was what I used to roll back, but I was running the 75 ICS leak. If you're running 84+, you may be stuck with it for a bit...

roll out in Q2 means it will be within the next 6 weeks to meet that, which makes that verizon screen grab look real, Here to hoping for OTA ICS within the week. Been sitting on bone stock Gingerbread since I got the phone in february waiting for official ICS before I did anything. I'm doing a manual update check every night so I can grab it as soon as possible.
What does all this mean for us GSM RAZR owners North of the boarder? Should we be able to get this update prior to our carriers release. Haven't heard anything about ICS hitting Rogers customers.

I just had 8 Verizon apps update, all for ICS compatibility... Time to start wearing out the System Updates button...

I've never rooted, but might need to in the next 4 weeks. Should I go through the process of:
Root...install root keeper...then unroot awaiting the OTA roll-out?
Or will there likely be root available for stock OTA ICS within a week or so after its roll out?
Also, with prior OTA updates my apps remained installed. With ICS will I have to manually re-install all apps? this would be another reason to root, as Titanium is better than the non-root options for back-up of apps and data.
The main reason I want to be rooted is that I'm hoping to get my Droid Razr to work with a UK sim while abroad. Otherwise, I generally happy with stock, and have so many apps that I worry about going too custom.

Well Rootkeeper worked on keeping root when updating to the ICS leak, so I assume it will work when downloading the official ICS OTA.
If it doesn't a root method will probably surface in a week.
I doubt the official OTA will make you get rid of your apps, just the leak cause of incompatibility issues or something.
Just when I finished my angers course, I saw this post.

really wanting to make the change, was on first leak two weeks. Is there a build that you can razr utility back? is there a build that flashes over. 181 WITHOUT wiping data and cache? is there a build that includes all video codecs missing from first leak? is there a build that does all 3 things above? Four day weekend for me and I'm considering putting ics back on my razr.
droid razr stock un- rooted .181 waiting for official ics...
I have been running the .206 leak for a while now and it runs perfect.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
The latest builds cannot easily be backed up to .181, and we have no idea what their impact on the ability to accept OTA updates will be even after backing up to .181.
I would suggest on of the leaks that you can at least rsd back to stock if you run into problems. this goes to if you decide to use one that does not go back to stock http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...m-icsbut-not-back-to-gb-6148485-616203204206/
and this one can be fastbooted back to stock. http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...s-61479-its-fastbootable-back-to-gingerbread/
your choice.

You can still use the option 3 for Ice Cream Sandwich root. Thats what he told me to use and it worked perfect.

option 2 was root (not for ics), option 3 was unroot. I tried option 2 but it didn't work. any other ways to root this build, 6.14.79?
nm, looks like I missed a step before upgrading. no root.

I'm just coming over to a VZW Maxx from an LG Revolution. On the REVO we had one or two devs doing great work and when it came to root/recovery, there was one AIO that did it all: root/unroot/CWM/revert to stock recovery, etc. Here with such a large community, all the support, and CDMA vs.GSM phones, I'm a little intimidated (and excited) by all of the dev work available for this phone.
I'm interested in rooting and installing recovery. I'll probably stay on GB and wait for the official OTA before going to ICS. One or two quick questions about root/recovery for the Maxx:
I think I should be using using zedomax's tool discussed here to root (root should be easy enough):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567
For recovery, I think I ought to be using Safestrap 1.09 for now and 2.0 after the ICS OTA, yes? My guess is if I install Safestrap now, I'll have to uninstall it in order to receive the ICS OTA. If yes, it looks like I could uninstall it right from within the app itself. Is that correct?
Any opinion by some of you seasoned RAZR owners on the best recovery tool: Safestrap, bootstrap, CWM, etc? Thanks!
I did the exact swap last week. To root I used the razr utility vs 1.6. Search xda for "Razr utility", follow the link in the last page to the other forum for the updated version.
Took maybe 5 minutes to root and install voodoo ota rootkeeper. Waiting for ota ics before installing recovery.
Sorry for no links, out and about.
I rooted with razr utility 1.6 then installed ics leak .79. Can I install the voodoo ota rootkeeper now?
Thanks.

Head over to settings, about phone, system updates to grab now!
yep, just downloaded it. then thought that maybe I should revert to a non safestrap system and uninstall Safestrap. Now for some reason I am having to re-download it... Oh well, Im about to have an official ICS update!
Now I gotta worry about rerooting, and I was thinking about running a rom like eclipse. Big day lol
I'm fastbooting back to stock in hopes I'll get a nice smooth update, does anyone know of any root methods that work on the official ICS build?
I assume u are all in the US.im in SOUTH AFRICA. GSM handset, just got the 2.3.6 update, but not going to install it. Want to skip straight to ICS. Any links for GSM ICS leaks?

there was an option for it in Matt's Utility... haven't tried it yet to excited that I finally got the ICS
Is this official ota different from the .211 leak? If it is, is there going to be a way for us that are running .211 to manually update to the ota? Since they had to fix some bugs I figured there was a new build date and all.

Download OTA Rootkeeper from the play store, it restored my root when i upgraded on razr maxx
Downloaded and went smooth as silk. Phone was rooted and I installed rootkeeper. Was in root state when I received the update. All suggested battery saver apps were disabled. Phone still downloaded the update. Downloaded with WIFI. The update removed root but rootkeeper rerooted the phone. The only think I had to do was change the data back to 4G. Everything seems great so far.
i have updated
yes you are right ics update now availble iam from Egypt and now i enjoy ics
its really smooth but the cam is not as clear as gingbread and not fast shot
if someone can helpe mer to give me kernel
Hey guys,
I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926, running JB 4.1.2, and with the latest ota update. Is there any way to root besides motochopper? When I run motochopper, I get superuser, but it says the root fails.
Thank you
In hindsight...

I would love to know the answer for this as well. I have read 100's of different threads on this and I've yet to find any success stories after the latest OTA. Verizon sent me the Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926 yesterday as a replacement device to my Razr XT912 which was running the latest CM 10.2...
I guess I really should have done some research before accepting their offer UGHHH....PLEASE someone tell me if I can at least ROOT the phone, even w/o the BL?
