No, your apps, accounts & contacts will be saved, unless if you factory reset in the stock recovery. You will be unrooted

Sorry I'm on the website on my phone and didn't see the last part....thanks for all your help!!
I have one last question......when I go into the boot loader menu do I choose ap fastboot or sbf flash. And by the way should the file be a .sbf file or a different file extension??

I bought a used Droid RAZR and it constantly reboots. It was running stock 4.1.2 and Factory resting, booting into Safe Boot, formatting the Internal SD memory, or all 3 wouldn't stop it so I Rooted it with razr blade for Jelly Bean and then flashed the lastest nightly of CM 10.1. It never gets service so I was to flash it back to stock ICS with RSD lite or back to Jelly Bean with the sbf. Before I do this can anyone tell me if I run the risk of bricking it flashing either of the sbf's? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem (obviously) but TheMrCool212 helped me (don't forget to push his thanks button!!) And I flashed the file from WWW.sbf.droid-developers.org using RSD lite it took 10-20 mins. Just remember to use the right file for which variant of the RAZR you have. I don't think the file was a .sbf file but it WILL work. P.S. I would not recommend going back down to 4.0.4 because they switched kernels between 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 and I heard it wouldn't work so I just used the 4.1.2 file. But if your dead set on going back to 4.0.4 ask around some more before flashing. Hope this helped if you are confused or need more help just ask me.

Hi,
I currently have a Telus Galaxy Note i717. I have my phone rooted and was using Objection ICs Rom before the official ICS release became available on July 13th. I have been trying to install the stock Telus ICS update ota and I keep getting a message saying the update is not available even though I know it is. I have looked all over the internet for a solution and nothing seems to be allowing me to update my phone with the official telus update. I have unrooted my phone, reset flash counter, whiped partition, cache, etc using CWM, and I am still unable to download and install the Telus ICS update. Any help you can give me would be great as I would really like to install the Telus ICS rom.
I'm having the same issue but I think it's because I still have cwm. Once you flash the stock telus recovery you should be good to go. I'm flashing that once I get home.

I will try installing this. I saw on the Samsung website the baseband version had to be I717UCLF1. But I believe by installing the OBjection rom the baseband version was changed to I717UCLF6 and in order to get the Telus ICS ofiical update the baseband version has to be I717UCLF1 in order for the update to download. IS this correct? and will downloaded the previoussly mentioned file fix this issue?

Before you do all that flashing? Did you do a nandroid of stock? If you did that you can restore your nandroid backup and flash the stock recovery.

It ended up being a radio band version issue. I found a link for telus-radio.zip on another xda thread. I installed it using cwm andit fixed the issue. My phone was recognized by kies and it updated my phone to ics 4.0.4.

I rooted my Galaxy S3 the other day with the intention of installing one of the JB rom's out there. I thought as my S3 was not locked that the official JB update would be a little way off yet. Yesterday I find the official JB being pushed to my phone. It went through the update process and then said it could not update because my phone had been modified. I checked the rom version and it is now 4.1.1 so it seems to have actually updated everything apart from the interface which is still ICS.
Is there a way to get around this? If I do a factory reset will that wipe the root? Or can I do something to hide the root from the update?
All advice much appreciated.

Thanks for that. didn't realise the interfaces were the same. Was expecting a bit of a facelift but then I guess it's what's under the hood that counts.
It did say it couldn't update the software because the phone was modified so I am wondering what, if anything I am missing.
One thing I did notice pretty much straight away was the battery seems to be running down quicker. Could be my imagination of course but I will test it over the next few days to be certain.

Rooting will not stop you from updating OTA through KIES. It wont update through direct OTA.
Update via Kies or download the DLJ4 and flash with odin.You will have the same result

Factory reset/Data Wipe will clean ur internal storage. Thats all.

I have an DROID RAZR XT910 GSM/CDMA with the following stock ICS: 673.94.328.XT910.Optus.en.AU, Version 4.0.4, Build 6.7.3-94_SPI-328 and while looking at all the mods and roms out there I'm not confident in flashing this device because the version numbers are different and I don't wanna brick my phone (at close to AUD$800 I think you can understand why) so need help with getting JB onto it (impatient here in OZ, last round from GB to ICS took 6 months from advertised to actually going OTA here). Phone is rooted, have Titanium Backup and SuperSU installed but:
1: don't know how to back up the whole stock in case of failure and need to reinstall
2: not sure that any ROMs are safe to use in my phone (differing stock numbers etc)
3: what other software needed to make this happen
