Hey Im I'm running my Verizon RAZR on cricket and after jumping to the jb leak a month ago I just recieved a new ota update on my phone and now I none of my custom ROMs work. I tried each one with multiple wipe and still nothing can anybody shed some light on the situation? I will attempt to go back to the leak version and grab the update info for whoever want or need to know what it is wish me luck I have a lot of moto/ cricket flashing to do

The official ota jb changes kernels that's why the ROMs won't work.

OK thanks I thought so but wasn't sure I'm actually getting ready to reflash my phone back to the leak version now and when it pop up download it but not install just don't know where its normally downloaded so I can pull it off just in case someone wanted it to work on or something

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.

I'm needing to get a replacement Razr Maxx. However I just applied the leaked .211 ICS "OTA" update file. I know I can't use the Razr Utility to restore to GB. Does anyone know when the Fastboot file will be released for ICS for the RAZR? I don't know how to revert my phone to total stock until it's released.
Anyone? Got RAZR issues and need to revert to stock but it has to be 6.16.211 ICS.

Fastboot file has been out for a while now, check out at droidrzr.com:

You'll have to put the link together yourself as I'm a new member here and can't post links yet lol
***EDIT**
If you're already on .211, then you're okay. the .211 update file is the fastboot file.

Would this work if I'm on the Razr with OTA ICS update applied? I'm looking for a way back to GB, if it's even possible.
I recently got a Razr, so I'm not sure how fastboot files were. I came from a Droid X, and have lots of experience with CWM and flashing roms that way.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

No, it is not possible to flash back to GB once on the ICS OTA. I'm not exactly sure why you would want too... ICS is a better and more stable form of Android.
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
I'm not new to the flashing ROM game but I am new to the Motorola Droid RAZR. I had a Eris and laetly i had a Droid X2 but now I have a Droid RAZR (CDMA) Starting on 4.0.4 i have tried to flash over two different ROMS ( Eternity Project v3 and Eclipse)
Eternity Project flashed over just right but I had no signal connection. I think that is due to it being a GSM ROM that i later found out. Eclipse didnt flash over the first time using BOOTmenu Manager. Had to use SafeStrap. Everything looked good after reboot but after looking into it, it was should on the stock ROM.
Im kinda stuck on what to do next - i have been reading about some kind of patch? IS this what i need to install / apply? I really like the Eternity Project so if theres a way to have that - it would be nice.
Thanks EhB
I've never heard of a patch to get GSM ROMs to work with CDMA phones I know of CDMA ones to GSM, but you can ask the developer of the ROM.

Hey whats up guys. Need a lil help here. I have a Razr Maxx System version 6.16.211.xt912.verizon.en.us Android ver. 4.0.4
I have it rooted and have Safestrap v3.05 loaded and was using the eclipse rom.
I got a official update notice from verizon and its been awhile since I have done any of this and just wanted to know a few things I seem to be having problems with.
To update to the latest version of Andriod how do I need to do this? I tried to load the new roms but they wont work and I am assuming its because either I need to update my safestrap or to do it through bootloader. I forget lol.
When I had my thunderbolt doing all this seemed alot easier.
Also some suggested roms would be nice
Now that you have updated you can find ROMs for the new kernel over at http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-droid-razr-roms-for-the-jelly-bean-kernel-xt912/ there's even a kernel compatible utility that works magic on your phone to make the older ROMs work check it out hope I helped.
