Just got the OTA notification for .181. I am not on the soak test, just a normal user.

Update fails
I noticed that the .181 OTA update was available and decided to download and apply it. Alas, there is no joy in mudville. My (rooted) Razr Maxx reboots and gets about 25% into the process before stalling. It then reboots and announces that the update has failed.
Help anyone?

Exact same thing here... completely stock/rooted. I had frozen some apps and deleted others. I defrost the frozen apps and restored the deleted apps. Still not working. Ideas?

It's live as of 6:30am in good 'ole SC.
Use mattlgroff's Utility to "Keep root through OTA" although at least one person has reported not needing to use that...supposedly the tool worked just fine to root .181, but that gamble is up to you. ;-)
tCizler & maestro53 - I am new to the RAZR, just got mine yesterday, actually...but you haven't mentioned anything about recoveries...if you're running safestrap, etc. I imagine you will have to restore to stock before the update will work.
But a more informed individual is free to give me a slap upside the head.

Well I'm 100% stock, no root. Installed the update. Got a message that it failed, but it shows 6.12.181.XT9212. So I'm not sure what I ended up with??? Anybody else have this happen??

I appreciate the suggestions, but like I said I'm stock/rooted. I have done nothing but freeze/defrost and delete/restore apps. Although I did buy it used on eBay, so I can't say for sure what was done with it prior. But there are 4 other people at work with RAZRs. 3 maxxs and one regular. Only one maxx accepted the update. All 4 are stock/rooted

Hmm. Again, take this with a grain of salt, as I am new to the phone, and this is most likely an extreme option...
You could backup your data/apps using the program of your choice (I've found ROM Toolbox to be the best) and then use DRU 1.51 to "sbf" restore to .173.
That's what I did, as I got the phone from a friend who had ICS/safestrap and all sorts of stuff done to it and something in there made my 4G not work so I wanted to start fresh.
That being said, I am only just now about to attempt the update, so I'm putting my foot in a position such that it might be quickly inserted into my mouth, if necessary.
Just got mine. Warner Robins GA.
Also if you have after market recovery it won't install.
I was rooted .173 and took the update. I didn't unroot. Installed correctly and restored root w root keeper. Very nice.
Went through without a hitch here in monroe Michigan stock rooted and also kept root without backing up still looking for the changes but otherwise working great.

I might be insane from staying up all night, but I coulda swore I saw (either on here or on droidrzr) a "rebloating" script that essentially went through and made sure any such changes would be undone.
And cmon, it's not that bad. The restart will be good for ya, get rid of some of those apps you think you need but really don't. ;-)
Anyway...I went ahead and applied the update on stock/unrooted .173, then used DRU 1.51's GB Root option and it completed successfully, Superuser is on my phone and all seems dandy.
So if you're running stock/unrooted .173 it's CONFIRMED that you do NOT need to root and then use Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper app to make sure you'll have root in .181. However, if you're already rooted, I'm not sure what happens.
If I understand correctly how Voodoo works, you may need to use Voodoo in order for the update to complete successfully. tCizler, have you tried that?
Now I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do from here haha...With this update, will I be unable to install most ROMs or should this have no effect on that?
EDIT:
tCizler...I realize I'm firing shots in the dark here, but you may wish to check out this thread. My apologies if it doesn't apply.

Update Available! But Fail.
Hey guys, i am lucky enough to have the update available but i'm running into issues. I am running 2.3.6 stock, system version 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US
This is on my non-safe partition using Safestrap 1.09
I can download the update fine and it restarts and begins install, but about 1/4 through it hits a snag and the triangle with an "!" inside pops up then the phone restarts and i get "Software Update Failed" message.
I am rooted and using Voodoo OTA root keeper and had temporarily uninstalled root to do the update.
Anyone have an idea of how to get around this issue?
Thank you for any ideas!
Can you pull the update file and share it?

.173? I think you're only updating to .181 not ICS... and I can almost guarantee you that its safestrap.

Yes you can unroot ics. The easiest way to root is probably Matt's utility. Lastly, if you are on ics you can't return your phone. You have to restore to gb.

It is the official version, but it has not been officially released. You had to be rooted to have ics, therefore your warranty is void.

It has not been officially released yet. You had to be rooted to install, and root voids your warranty. Unless you are on build. 79 or lower, you are stuck until OTA comes and you can update to it and unroot.

It was rooted at some point to install ics. It could be done on the stock recovery (I think) but you need root access to put the update file in the proper location to update (or use ics installer) Chanced are the person you got the phone from either unrooted or didn't restore root after updating. The point still stands, the warranty is void because they can tell that it was rooted at some point. People can get away with rooting and unrooting because there is no evidence that it was rooted.

So I'm at work and the Droid RAZR on my demo phone bar pops up the notification for the ICS update.
I run the update and play for a few then get giddy thinking my Maxx should be good to go...
Run the update check and NOTHING. :-(
So now my stinking demo gets ICS but I can't. :-x
Lol that's messed up.
But you can get it
There's a copy of my guide in the RAZR development forums on how to manually update the OTA.
Lol demo phone be trollin
So I been getting the update notice on my Razr Maxx (see screenshot) Is this ICS? I am not a developer, I just cruise on the forum and mess with my phone. My maxx is rooted stock .173 No Bloat I haven't taken the update cause I am the no bloat setup might screw things up.

Unroot, install update then you'll be ready ICS. If you want to just fast forward to ICS today you can use my guide posted in the development forums, posted by user streetmedic.
That is the update, remember moto names their updates as the old version of the OS so 181 is actually the 211 upgrade to ICS, if im somehow wrong then I really need clarification on the moto update stuff

Use voodoo ota root keeper to back up then temp unroot before the update. After you're done you can restore it. Make sure you're complete stock before attempting to update.
