Droid X2 owners i have figured out how to root the new 2.3.5/1.3.418 update. I spent a couple hours trying to get this figured out. Its simple and very easy to do well may not be for some but here you go just follow these simple steps and all that trouble that everybody is having.... here is the solution! First off do a hard reset from phones setting under privacy make sure to copy and paste pictures, music etc. to your computer cause you will have to check internal storage to be deleted for this to work ..after the reset u are going to sbf back to original 2.3.4 with (RSD Lite) Remember it has to be done in this order just take my word for it ...when finished.. phone will reboot let all factory apps download and install including gmail,
vz navigator, google books etc. You will not have to keep these apps you just have to let them install for this update after you sbf 2.3.4 and back to original. When your done with sbf file and have re-activated phone added google account etc... Get (Petes Motorola RootTools_v1.07.zip) no other rooting methods worked ive tryed it.. type that into google search it should find his site.. and make sure to download (Windows Universal drivers) for computer depending on what you have 32 bit operating system or 64 bit.. both of these files can be found on petes site. After downloading drivers and zip file..... unzip petes zip and click on (petes motorola root tools). I had one issue with this when trying to root device i had to put phone into pc mode for some reason. And if still having issues try running the adb temp rooting procedure this seems to work everytime. Run rooting method till done then u should be rooted after this is done dont mess with SU leave it as is for now.... Now you are going to want to head to the the google market on your phone and type (ota rootkeeper) and download that app. After this is done you can go to that app and and press protect root it should say something like su safe or something like that at the bottom after u have pressed it. Now when u are sure u have all these done correctly go to your phone settings and go to about phone and press on system update and download and install the OTA update 1.3.418 to your phone. It will reboot and and install update after this is done let phone load back up and do what it needs to do. Now go back to google market and install (ota rootkeeper) again and you should get only one option and that is to restore root.. press that and there you have it. Now you can update SU, remove unwanted apps, etc.. Do whatever you please. This update has caused so many droid x2 owners to get very ticked off but luckily i found the solution to all the problems. If anybody is having any issues trying to get this done leave posts and messages i will help you out as much as i can. This process went really smooth you should have no issues at all. And if ur wondering about 2.3.5/1.3.418 update it is definitely snappier with and even more snappier with bloatware apps removed. Install the droid X2 bootstrap manager just like u always would. Dont hesitate to leave questions i will try to get back to them as soon as i can. HAVE FUN ROOTING> 2.3.5 And by the way for the people wondering I run this all on stock rom I dont use eclipse, affinity , etc or any other custom rom this is all straight stock rom

The above instructions worked for me without factory resetting my phone and without wiping any of my data and thanks to those instructions, my phone is now rerooted with the OTA Update 1.3.418. I thank you for sharing with all of us.
1. DO NOT factory reset your phone or wipe your data.
2. Re-flash your DroidX2 with the sbf file and re-activate your phone.
3. Get Pete’s Motorola RootTools_v1.07.zip. To find it, search google to find his site. Make sure to download (Windows Universal drivers) for computer depending on what you have 32 bit operating system or 64 bit. Both of these files can be found on Pete’s site.
4. Install the Windows Universal Drivers, unzip Pete’s zip file and run Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe. Wait for Pete’s root tool to finish.
5. Now that you are rooted again, go to the google market on your phone and search for ota rootkeeper. Download the app, run it, and press protect root.
6. Go to your phone settings and go to about phone and press on system update and download and install the OTA update 1.3.418 to your phone.
7. After the phone reboots, run the ota rootkeeper and restore root.

zergrush does not work!! To all that that wondering why it dosent work it changes something in the build prop or local prop not sure but it does not work for rooting 2.3.5. And also.. For some people they may not have to do a internal factory reset, in my case i did for what reason.. i dont know. Every time i tryed installing OTA update it failed. For the people getting this error you will most likely have to reset your device and follow my instructions. PLEASE READ MY INSTRUCTIONS first before making any changes if u dont want to lose root lose saved music , apps etc.... Remember internal factory reset erases everything in internal memory. Move your things you want to save to ur sdcard
Thanks mnkurk! Saved me a lot of time - work right the first time and allowed me to fully restore my setup from titanium (with backup folder on the sd card).
Using voodoo root keeper to root 2.3.5 update has been known since the update came out.
zerg rush cant be used for a number of reasons,.some people might be able to get away with it, but a lot of times it will cause the 2.3.5 update tofail the signature check , it removes/changed files on system besides just su, to make room for root.

3 no effect, once root is restored

If you can get/have the 2.3.3 file, just flash that...then take the ota once and you will be on 2.3.4
should I root 2.3.3-> ota 2.3.4-> ota 2.3.5
or Flash 2.3.3-> ota 2.3.4 then Root-> ota 2.3.5
What is the benefit of going as far back as 2.3.3?

Wait till 2.3.4 to root
No reason to root 233 it will just lose root when you ota any ways
Root .4
Then root keeper app
Then ota .5 and restore root with root keeper app
If going to flash a ROM after that, after you restore root, delete the su backup using the root keeper app before you flash the ROM or the rom flash will fail on ya

I don't know of there is any KNOWN benefit
But i know that before when i had a bunch of battery issues and other things acting weird, i went ALL THE WAY to froyo, then rode all the ota's back to 2.3.4 and things seemed better for me.
Take with a grain of salt tho, i never did any "official" testing on it., just know it fixed weird issues i had with device not sleeping properly.
i was just suggesting it cause it it's easier than having to find and then wait for 2.3.4 sbf file to download If you already had the 2.3.3 file
So, now there is a gray triangle in the top right (which apparently stands for roaming) I checked my phone status and it reads
Network: Unknown
My Phone Number: 000-000-7729
I went against your advice because I already had 2.3.4, but that shouldn't have caused this, right?
few options
reboot
wipe data or just cache in android recovery
dial *228
turn on airplane mode or turn on wifi then turn off, reboot
all SBF or here ezSBF/ RSD lite/ SBF/ drivers by 1KDS or here
Droid SBF files http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
edit: some people with issues, have reported had to wipe data before and after, and even flashing SBF twice, before getting it fixed
but the options I listed first usually fix network connection errors
not listed in any order, just as they popped in my head
As stated above
Just dial *228
Should fix that
it gives you two options i believe.
Do both if first doesn't fix it
Thanks so much! If i could thank you more than once I would!
I had to leave for work and I was so bummed out my phone wasn't getting service.
All I had to do was activate it
2.3.5 (Still wish it was ICS) and rooted!
Thanks again!
The above instructions worked for me without factory resetting my phone and
without wiping any of my data my phone is now rerooted with the OTA Update 1.3.418.
1. DO NOT factory reset your phone or wipe your data.
2. Re-flash your DroidX2 with RSDlite using the original sbf file.
RSDlite:

My original flash file here:

3. Re-activate your phone with *228.
4. Using Pete’s Motorola RootTools_v1.07.zip run Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe.
Wait for Pete’s root tool to finish.
5. Now that you are rooted again, run ota rootkeeper, press protect root.
6. Go to your phone settings, About Phone and click on system update and
download and install the OTA update 1.3.418 to your phone.
7. After the phone reboots, run the ota rootkeeper and restore root.

Rooted 2.3.4 to rooted 2.3.5
I'm on 2.3.4, rooted. I have downloaded but not installed 2.3.5. I previously froze, but didn't delete bloatware using Titanium.
Do you think I can just install rootkeeper, defrost bloatware, then install 2.3.5 & keep root?
I'm kind of an idiot trying to keep it simple.
Thanks in advance,
George
Success!!! This worked nicely. It just took a long time to defrost the bloatware, then freeze even more bloat when it was re-rooted as there was so much on there.
OTA Rootkeeper is a thing of beauty, it's fast & noob-proof. Thanks for that!
Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, it's a Spanish device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS, some weeks after buying it got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. Then, about 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i tried to update a few times more but no luck, i always got the same messages so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published but anyway everything was working fine.
The curious thing is yesterday ( August 25, 2012), when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it (without uninstalling CF-Root 6.4, supersu, etc.) but the strange thing was, after the update completed fine, went to settings to check the version and i saw it still/again was 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there and everything worked as expected but on the other hand i think i already had 4.0.4 update installed on the device. Till that point one can think i got confused on the versions i got installed before the update and no major problem here. After that, as i already had root access on the device, i went to check if i still could run UMS app but it complained about missing root access so as i did before that last Android update took CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 to flash the device and get root access again (Without removing any previous install of CF-Root, super su, busybox, etc. ) but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again but i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update.
The only explanation i can find is the phone came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
So my questions are, did i got confused about each version update? Then why can't i get root access again just repeating the same first process?
When opening busybox i can read "Not Enough Free Space in /system". Opening /system directory with Root Explorer i can read 1.05GB used, 436.39MB free. Is it right /system directory takes up to 1GB of the space? Why Busybox thinks there is 0.0MB free there?
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!
Thousands of posts say OTA updates may fail if the phone is rooted .
Usual is to fail part way through an update ..
Suggest wipe the phone flash stock rom with Odin then root .

Thanks a lot for the info. Am i going to loose installed apps, system settings, etc when doing the suggested process? Do i really need to wipe the phone before flashing the phone? I suppose i can find stock rom for my model here in the forums. Thanks!!
Hi,
i'm looking for a stock firmware for my SGS3 BaseBand I9300XXLH1 but i'm not able to find it. I think the firmware which came with my phone is unbranded and from Spain. But the question which i'm wondering is, do i really need to flash the phone? Isn't possible to solve the issue in another manner? After updating through OTA the rooted device, what's supposed to went wrong?
Lastly, what's wrong on updating a stock rooted firmware using Phone/Android update system? Don't understand how doing that can break the phone forcing me to wipe data and flash the phone.
Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot!
PD: After rebooting the phone in recovery mode i can see stock recovery has been installed with last update. Hope someone can make a bit of sense about it all. Thanks in advanced.

Get your firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/
then use odin to flash it, I had the same problem
Baseband is modem not firmware.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks to both for your answers. Maybe it's stupid but i'm some what more peaceful knowing other people also happened the same issue although it still feels very weird. All i did is flashing with CF-Root 6.4.
I've been looking for the stock firmware which is supposed to came with my phone at sammobile site but i'm not able to find it, although at that point ( where the phone got the same update twice, 4.0.4 ) i don't think i can trust the information provided by the phone. Under phone settings i can see Model Number is GT-l9300 and Base Band Version is i9300XXLH1 but i can't find it no sammobile site. What i find at sammobile site is I9300XXBLH1 ( notice B letter ) but i think that before this weird behaviour happened the phone showed Base Band Version I9300XXBLFB.
Is it all possible or the weird one is me?
Kickasskev, did you got 4.0.4 update twice?
Thanks again to all!
REPEAT BASEBAND IS NOT FIRMWARE nor is it firmware version .
To locate firmware try CHECKFUS .
Or stock providers roms from the sticky on XDA .

0. Remove all root apps from your phone.
1. Back up your rooted rom in cWM.
2. Use triangle away to get rid of the traingle.
3. Format system and cache.
4. Flash an official rom.
5. You should have all your apps + settings on a stock rom without the status being 'modified'.

I've used checkfus and now i know my firmware.
Thanks for the step by step tips, but my phone is not rooted so i cannot use cwm, triangleapp and so. I. Annot also remove cwm manager nor supersu. I suppose i'll have to flash stock firmware first of all. Am i right?
Pretty strange, first time i rooted the device through cf-root6.4 it run flawlessly, but now i had to remove the battery after flashing ( while device was on ) and enter into recovery mode by hand which started the rooting process.
Thanks!
Hi guys... hope that this post reads also someone from development. If it should be placed there, please move it.
So, here is my problem:
I`m having rooted Razr and OTA update comes to my region. I downloaded update and tried to update, but it failed. I didn't uninstall any of bloatware, just frozen it, but even after unfreezing it won't do update as well. I red some manuals and so on, so i removed bootstrap recovery also but still the same. Looks, that I need to re-install original FW to make it working - right?
I checked possibilities and there are not too many. RAZR utility 1.6 it is not possible download anywhere - links are mostly broken and 1.7 is for ICS only, so only options is using of RSDLite. I found following "tutorial" about RSDLite. I'm almost sure, that after update there wouldn't be possibility to update for a while, so I kept original downloaded OTA update ZIP, but do not know what to do with.
Could somebody say, if it is correct way how to update to ICS? Do I really needs to reflash original ROM and than try to update it to ICS via OTA? Is there some easy way to update if I have downloaded OTA update ZIP?
Some ideas?
Sorry for English...

Hi, I used TB at first, then I found NoBloat. When I used TB I froze some apps maybe even uninstalled them I can't remember but now I can't update OTA because I am missing SmartCarDock.apk. The odex is there.. I don't know if the OTA will be missing other apks.. I did a factory reset but the missing app did not come back. So what can I do to get my phone back to an OTA state?
Thanks
Is there noone who can point in the right direction?
My phone info:
651.73.30-XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
android 2.3.5
6.5.1-73_SPU-11-M1-2
How do I confirm that I have unrooted? Superuser does not have root anymore, but it is still installed in system/app... Is it full unrooted?
Can I re-flash with 2.3.5 to get it back to stock so I can flash the OTA from moto or should I just do the manual flash using the 1.7 utility?
Thanks

Can I re-flash with 2.3.5 to get it back to stock so I can flash the OTA from moto or should I just do the manual flash using the 1.7 utility?
Thanks

REMEMBER TO CHARGE TO BATT TO FULL FIRST! (Many have ignored this and ended up (soft)bricking their phone)
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?

So attempt #4...
I wiped the cache, did a factory reset and attempted to install the update from the SD Card in Recovery mode.
I received the following error:
- Verifying system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/framework-res.apk", "7213ee77f6adfff8543ab0c02094aca55aa2x788", "5da1ccb2003fe1cf47787fdbdd9c5d1c65f7209c")

Fixed!

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

idk if youll read this but if you do can you point me to where it explains how to wipe the cache and install from eh SD card? cuz i just did the flashboot to .211 and it still fails.
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.
