I am very sorry people but I have no idea what to do.
I have a Motorola RAZR XT910 with the 651.167.21.XT910.Retail.en.EU firmware. When I hit system-update the phone tells me that there is no update available. As far as I can tell my phone is unbranded. My carrier is from germany is called Simyo and runs on the german E-Plus network.
I have read that the updates to ICS should be rolling out sometime this month.
But I was wondering if I could update to ICS without waiting? There are so many ROMS and Fastboot and stuff flying around that I have no idea what to take and to flash. What I know is I have to flash the following version of exact my ROM, right? So maybe it isnt even possible?
Answer would be appreciated.
Cheers
why dont u flash an ICS stock ROM then?
mine have the same version with urs, and then i flash an ICS stock ROM as soon it's available here

Can I flash any ICS stock ROM? I am unsure because I read that you can only flash ROMs that work with the right build.
So I will just take a ROM from the Project Eternity thread that is ICS and flash it, right?
yes u can. before that, just make sure that the ROM is for XT910. Not for XT910S or else

any mirror? please?
I have flashed deodexed version and I must say I'm impressed. Fast, stable and battery friendly. Everything works, no bugs at all
Also I've noticed that there is no root in the rom.
This problem was solved by installing root directly from BMM recovery, section system keeper/install root/reboot
Finally I have also system 2 with a reliable rom
Thanks a lot!
edit: can I use your 1% battery mod for leaked verizon JB on this rom?

Hey since you have tried both, what would you prefer, this one or the verizon one? and if i install this, is erased cid still a requirement for asia retail phone like mine? And o yeah, are the improvements from verizon version, mainly the camera panorama mode is in here too?

Definitely this one! Seems a bit lighter, faster and a lot better 3G connection.
Regarding CID I think it should still be erased coz your not in EU. It shouldn't bother you as before
I didn't noticed panorama mode
Bottom line: it needs to be tested a few more days for stability, but so far I strongly recommend it
And, yes, don't forget to flash the right kernel
Enjoy

Seems tempting to try but one request, could you upload a screenshot or 2 for me? The thing i like about the verizon one is the clean statusbar (no carrier) and the razr i like text messaging theme (the green icon one). I know it might be minor but still he3..
And about the new panorama mode, it is the bomb man, really great at producing panorama shot, you could scan the area anywhere you like, almost no restriction, i could call it photo sphere alpha version so if this vodafone version has it all, i might flash it tonight

Welcome mate. could you tell me how you flash it? With bmm or rsd? To slot 1 or other? So no more erased cid?

Yup i use BMM and i put it on Slot2 because i still keep my ICS in Slot-1 (stock) and yes no more CID erasing.. confirm, just flashing kernel between ICS and JB vodafone Rom depend on which one i use.
maybe after few days testing this rom i will move it to Slot1 as main rom replacing ICS.
before this rom i use Verizon JB but i dont like the signal bar counting seems not accurate, and finally after using the Vodafone JB all signal bar is accurate as i was using my ICS rom.
im a happy person now :victory:
hello I am from Mexico its Latin America. My phone is a xt910 GSM i used to have JB from Verizon but the wifi hotspot didn't work and I go back to ice and restored CID. For this room I need to erase CID? Or I can just flash and does the wifi hotspot works?

Hello, I am using retail asia razr
I am not clear about your description.
Do you mean you flash the Vodafone JB Kernel in system 2 first, then flash the zip file in system 2????
And do I need to do anything to flash rom in system 2???
Does webtop work fine with this?

Hey , i'm new with Razr devices.
I have Razr maxx (verizon - XT 912) , i bought it as i though it has great battery life , but it's really terrible on JB .. it was already on JB when i bought it
Looked in google , also on xda ,ect.. but nothing ... So there is no F**** way to back to ICS?

Nope its not possible to go back to ICS after updating to JB
It will brick if I try to install ICS rom with recovery? Or it will not boot? If the problem is kernel, there is no flashable ICS kernel?

Yes, it will brick because Motorola did not unlock the bootloader of this phone. You cant downgrade the bootloaders, cdt.bin and android version if you have a locked bootloader. That is why i moved to Samsung. A locked bootloader of a phone is a problem to me. It is your opinion what to choose. But a locked bootloader also can install Custom roms, root, mods etc
JB owns your soul basically now.

Now i had Vodafone Eu 4.1.2 on my stock and i accidentally installed Avatar ROM on it (I wanted to keep my stock slot on Moto JB and use system 2 for experimenting with other ROMs like Avatar) . Now both my slots: slot 1 and slot 2 have Avatar ROM on it. Is there any way to go back to Moto JB without going thru the RSD way..??
I have BMM
If you made a backup prior to flashing avatar you can; otherwise you're pretty much stuck without "your"stock..but worry not my friend you can flash this rom instead,it is stock,much better than original I'd say; it is deodexed and looks very cool.

:good:
Have been using this for sometime now and it is very good. Best thing as stated above is that its deodexed and comes with root.
