[Q] OTA help please.... - Motorola Droid RAZR

Every time i try to do the ota update for jellybean on my verizon xt912 it fails when in stick recovery... This phone is not rooted and never has been. Battery was fully charged when attempting the ota. Ive tried 4 times now and the software update fails each time. It downloads and boots into recovery, has the android guy with the spinning ball and loading bar for about 2 minutes. Then switches to the android guy with the red exclamation box and then reboots with a message stating "software update failed" any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any luck so far? I believe Matt's Utility may be one option worth exploring. As far as I can recall, Option 1 and Option 2 don't require your phone to be rooted. Again, I'm not positive, just trying to help.

I used Matt's utility to upgrade flawlessly... Running dhackers kit kat now. Thanks anyways, I never could get the ota to install properly. And yes I've had the phone since it was new.

[Q] Need Confirmation

Let me start first by saying, this is my second maxx because I rooted and bricked the first one the first day I had it.
I'm posting this to see if anyone can confirm a wifi tether app working on the stock rom (rooted of course) before I root this one because when I root, I'm gonna leave it on the stock rom til the bootloader is unlocked and cwm has a fully working recovery for this phone.
I am currently unrooted with firmware. 181.XT912.Verizon.end.US.
Thanx in advance.

Ill check out the wifi tether app in a few minutes here for u, but cwm does have a fully working recovery unless u mean something different than I'm thinking of. And the boot loader may never be unlocked as far as I know

There is a mobile hotspot hack on these pages somewhere. I couldn't get any tether apps to work but the hack worked wonders. Been using it a lot the last few days I've been on vacation.

I just use FoxFi for a tether app and works great
Foxfi works well and doesn't require root.

FoxFi is a free app in Google Play, and does not require root. BTW, it's very doubtful that Motorola will ever unlock the bootloader.

Yes, I've been using FoxFi for about 4 months now, and VZW is non the wiser. My bill has stayed the same.
Just a note about FoxFi- occasionally, when you turn the hot spot on, it won't show on the device you want to send wifi to. Turn the hot spot off and back on again, and normally, you're good to go. It's not a perfect app... but it is free, does not require root, and won't effect your bill.

Update check

Looks like they're doing a phased, perhaps regional rollout to the public. I'm in Maine and received the update notification and downloaded ICS this morning. Haven't installed yet . . . waiting to make sure that I won't lose (or can at least easily regain) root. Yeah, I know . . . buk buk buk bukAAK

Intrepid, in your case, have you disabled any system apps? Re-enable them and try again.

No apps have been disabled. Its pretty much stock.

Try a factory reset first....That will make sure you're bone stock.
Thanks. Ill give that a shot in a few minutes.

Accepted the update this morning... went smoothly. Took forever to download though, think the servers were slammed with everybody doing the same thing. I am bone stock, for now.

Having same issue. Stock nothing removed or froze. Was rooted with voodoo. Temp unroot didnt work. uninstalled all root apps unrooted with voodoo. Did factory reset downloaded again . Gets about half way through install.....Triangle and android on screen. Then it reboots and says update failed. Any ideas how to fix this?

same issue here, trying hard reboot!
will keep you posted
Just curious. If you are having this problem, did you perform your download over 4G or WiFi? I have no clue about what is causing this problem, but if you were on 4G perhaps you can try downloading again using WiFi (or visa-versa)? Yes, I know this shouldn't matter. But it is something to try.
I was downloading through wifi.

I just did a factory reset including internal media and the SD card, downloaded the update and tried to install but got the triangle and android on the screen about halfway through. Any thoughts?
Did a hard reset, wiped user data and that seemed to do it
If you are rooted, uninstall bootstrap or safestrap if you have those. For me safestrap was breaking the update. Thxkbai!
Just did another hard reset with no luck getting through the update. Willing to entertain any suggestions...
How far do you get?

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but if you keep failing to install the OTA pushed to your phone, try flashing the file from the root of your SD card.
About a quarter of the way through. It showed a triangle with the android on the screen when it stopped.

Droid Razr System WIped - SBF/Fastboot/Razr Utility not working

So, I've run into a bit of a predicament. A long time ago, I rooted my Razr on ICS. Perfect, loved it. After some time I started flashing ROM's. THis also went perfectly, that is until I tried updating to JB. I messed with the phone for a few weeks, decided I was fine on Simplex, and have been living with it like that ever since. Now, however, I can't boot into my stock ROM. In fact I deleted the entire system via SafeStrap, but I'm able to get into my Simplex ROM and everything works fine. Now I need to know if I can just download the update file for JB and flash that to the main ROM slot via SafeStrap, or if I have to SBF/Fastboot/whatever the phone. I've tried Fastbooting through RSD and through Droid Razr Utility 1.82 but to no avail. Is there anything I can do or am I just stuck on Simplex forever?

It doesn't necessarily fail, but after it completes the first step and says "hit any key after screen turns on" it just sits there and says "waiting for device." toggling the cable works, but I'm weary of unplugging it while it's going through the process.

HELP: No Service!

I recently installed Carbon onto my XT912. It was a clean install, and no problems occurred. Just today however, my phone is now showing no service when I load to system 2 (where I installed Carbon). When I load to System 1 I have full service. If someone could point me in the right direction for troubleshooting I would greatly appreciate it.
Could be a bad flash or. Something is interrupting your service try reinstalling again and see if it helps let. Me know

Everything was working fine until one day when I was low on battery and out of Data. I decided to only use 2G networks to both save battery and not use data. After that day I unchecked that box yet it still says that it's searching for service. Is there a solution without having to re-flash my ROM? I don't want to lose all my text messages and such.
Also, I get this blue triangle now above my cell status. What's up with that?

There are apps to backup texts. A flash could help i guess.
