This goes against most thinking in regards to Jelly Bean, but it seriously screwed up my phone when I got it. I had to have Verizon send me a new device because it was unusable. plus loosing my wifi tether just sucked.
How can I stop this stupid update? I don't want it to auto download, I don't want it to install and I'm getting sick of getting notified about it.
Please help me
Verizon Rooted Stock Droid Razr Maxx.
I have never used a custom rom, but if that is my only option at this point, can someone please point me to the most reliable and some seriously detailed info on how to install one...I've never done any of that, just rooted to get rid of bloatware.
thanks

If you screwed up your phone, just reflash your system version's fastboot file using RSD Lite. It will reflash all of your system files, no root needed. You also can easily update to jellybean because there's already a fastboot file for the update

I have been using these two roms for ever, and im always coming back to them after trying different roms.
These two roms are really tweaked with a lot of nice customing and NO Blur, marvelous battery and speed!
Simplex has more customations but is a little bit bigger and comes with Apex Launcher in it. Eclipse is a little bit smaller and comes with a smaller ''eclipse launcher'' baked into the rom. Eclipse also have reverted colours in calendar and gmail, this means black background instead of white. I would go fro Eclipse rom with maybe Nova Launcher, the standard launcher can be uninstalled with Titanium Backup. If you do not really care about customation just go for the rom clean
The two roms are so stable that I run them on my stock:slot in Safestrap, no worries...
- You need Safestrap to install, read this thread and install!
(with safestrap you can do a nandroid backup of your whole room when everything is just the way you want, this way you will never loose anything!)

A simplified answer is just remove a Motorola app and the JB download will not install because it requires ALL original Motorola apps to install. Even if you hit install it will not. That's what I did on my 2 razr's.
So if you removed the bloat it should not install anyways.

If you hit install, It will try to install the JB update but it will fail half way through the install process and giving you the message "update failed, operation aborted" or something like that. I did it on both my razrs. The only way for me to install the JB update was to use the RDS lite and fast boot the original ICS files.

Helo guys, I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S, and last week I got the Droid X2 from Verizon. So now I'm seeing new terms being used like sbf, debloat, freeze, etc...
My DX2 is root and I also have the V6 Supercharger, and I still can't get the GB update.
I believe many users on this forum have the same case as mine, so can anyone give us steps to follow in order to get the update.
Thank you so much

I came from a similar situation. I just got the x2 as a replacement for my fascinate due to repetitive missed call issues. I updated to Gingerbread today using the tips on this forum & the file posted to the mediafire link. The first thing you'll need to do for this update to work is undue all the non-stock modifications you've done.
Unsupercharge
Unfreeze or replace any stock apps you may have uninstalled. This is where the sbf comes in, it's the stock image that was loaded when it left the factory.
Unroot, might not be necessary but its better safe than sorry. Especially since this update is unrootable atm.
Rename the downloaded file update.zip & put it in the root of your sdcard-ext.
Flash from the stock recovery & you should be good.
Whatever other info you need, search these threads-its in there somewhere.

The SBF does infact restore you to stock 2.2.2
It should also be the first thing you do when you get the phone (before rooting etc) It blows my mind that people would mess with their device without doing an SBF at least once.
The SBF will usually require you to battery pull at the end, go to stock Android recovery and wipe data and cache. (unless you did that before running the SBF)
On Vista and Windows 7 make sure you right click RSDlite and choose to "run as admin"
Everyone who did the OTA or the 2.3 update from here at XDA and wants p3droids rooted update is going to have to SBF momentarily. We should get rooted 2.3 this afternoon according to p3's twitter
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled the Supercharger, I sbf'd back to stock Froyo successfully, and still I can't get the update. What else should I do?

Just to be clear.... He should eventually get an OTA update if he waits long enough. But he won't be able to root it. So follow the link above, and do those steps to install the rooted version of the update from 3Pdroid.

From my understanding, its an OTA update. So just be on stock and check for a software update. But be sure to go through the process to keep root.
Just updated while on stock and it's only taking me to 234, thinking I need to update to 235 in stock recovery but can't find a working download.
Hmm. Well I havent seen any link to download the update. I was under the impression that it was OTA. The only one I remember was the leak but I dont think thats what the newest version of Eclipse is based on. Sorry I cant be more help. I havent gone that route and updated. Im sticking with 2.3.4
You're good, yeah I'm guessing once I'm on 235 and update it will give me the new build. Seems like it may be a pain though because of some new security patch, might just stay on 234 myself.
The update really has nothing useful in it. I'd stay on whatever you have now and wait for CM9 which may be coming pretty soon. Thats my plan.
What's the word on CM9, I hadn't heard anything? Kind of veering off topic here but yeah I ran CM7 for a while, Eclipse was just less buggy overall. I'd kill for a solid MIUI on dx2.

I assume you rooted using ZergRush method? This modifies system files during the root process and will force the 2.3.5 OTA update to fail during installation.
Root using Pete's Motorola Root Tools one click method and you will be fine. Just make sure you install VooDoo Rootkeeper from the Market and save a backup of your 2.3.4 root. Temp unroot and accept the OTA update. It will install with no issue if you use Petes one click to root. Once booted into 2.3.5 open VooDoo again. First restore root and the delete the backup. You can now flash eclipse 2.2

Hi, my name is Travis, I've been a verizon slave since 2009 with the bb storm. Moved to a droid then x and x2. I'm currently on an incredible 2 and I hate it. Through much push and pull, I got to keep my service on the incredible and also keep an x2 along with a free extended battery.
I rooted 2.3.5 on the x2 and now looking into roms. My software learning curve isn't steep so I thought I'd send a shout out to the devs and members here. Looking into finding a great rom for the x2 withing the next few day.
Oh yeah, I'm leaving in a month for basic in the AF, going into cyber surety(basically legal hacking) and looking forward to it.
Thanks for reading, I'll be around!
Welcome. Every one here is awesome and will help if you need it.
Most all x2 roms are built on 2.3.4
Eciplse is on 2.3.5 though, and is a very good, stable rom.
If you want more excitement than try some of the ics, cm9 based roms. Just know that they are buggy and being worked on. Aokp, paranoid android, and of course cm9.
Cm7 is much more stable then th ics builds and could easily work as a Daily driver.
Good Luck.

I was thinking about the eclipse rom, It looks really nice. It will take a bit. I'm still reading and this forum is huge. I haven't found the "how to" thread yet on roms. Sure I'll find it. Thanks for the warm welcome.
I would check out the Cm7 rom thread. It has some good links to the guides you want as far as sbf, root, nandroid backup and bsr(aka cwm recovery).
Eclipse won't let you down.
If there is anything I can help you with, then don't hesitate to pm me.

Welcome aboard sir, and as an AF vet good luck with your service and thank you for stepping up.
As for roms you will find much more action happening with the 2.3.4 build as others have already mentioned. CM7 & 9, PA, AOKP are all based on 2.3.4.
You will absolutely want to find the "How to SBF" thread and get setup for doing an SBF. To my knowledge no dx2 has ever been "hard bricked" but "soft bricking" can and does happen which means SBF is your salvation as of course is nandroid backup. And my last piece of advice would be to make a nandroid backup of 2.3.4 Stock/Rooted, particularity if you are a"flashaholic" as some of us are on here...lol
Anyway welcome to the friendliest forum on XDA. :beer:

Just take the OTA update to 2.3.5 by going to System Updates in Settings-About Phone. Then restore root using voodoo and delete backup.

Hi there, after receiving a new RAZR since my last one broke, I decided that I only wanted to root it and install cyanogen mod onto it. Fast forward 5 months and now I've decided I want to install the new MIUI v5 but in order to do that I need to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I downloaded the OTA update but after it attempts to install, it reboots and says update failed. Just some background info I have a GSM RAZR rooted and have safe strap on. Any ideas on how to make it not fail?

I have been meaning to unroot my S4 and remove the SafeStrap recovery. I haven't found a ROM worth trying out and it seems that the process if giving a lot of people a headache. I actually have grown to love some features of TW and when I need a visual change I throw up a custom launcher and I'm perfectly content. So my question is....
If I accept the OTA, will that remove root AND the SafeStrap recovery automatically and then I'll be back to square one or will I still have to remove SS via ADB? Thank you!

Best way to get back to fully stock is to flash your device with Odin. You can find the factory images in the android Dev section.
