From what I've seen and heard, being rooted won't prevent you from receiving this OTA, but you will lose root access unless you backup su and temp-unroot with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper or the like.
I also work for BIG RED and OTA will be be rolling out of tomorrow.

I wonder if the leaked ICS is the same as the OTA?
The only word anyone's seen is from Best Buy, not Verizon or Moto. The fact that the leak/soak test exists is a sign we're close(but who knows how close). I guess we'll all be really happy, or super pissed tomorrow @3:01 am... Lol

Only for CDMA model or GSM too??
If only CDMA, do you kown when will be rolling out for GSM?
Big Red deals with CDMA only, they wouldn't know the GSM date.
Seihaku is correct. We only know about t CDMA roll outs. But hopefully soon

Unlikely to be soon, seeing as there are no known soak tests for ICS on the XT910 yet. Knowing Moto's treatment of their GSM users, we probably won't get an ICS OTA until the MAXX is out over here... in May.
Lol the funny thing is that we were supposed to get it before us.

Most likely scenario is that the ICS work was originally being carried out for the GSM RAZR, then someone in management intervened and made the DROID RAZR a priority due to Moto's contract with Verizon. I imagine once the ICS update goes live and there are no showstoppers, they'll continue to QA test the update internally for about a month before pushing it out as a soak test for a week, before finally pushing the release version.

You'll have to go on the Moto forums and update your profile to opt-in with your IMEI. They're still sending out emails but as far as I know they haven't launched the actual test.

I hope in a GSM beta version leaked soon!
Now I'm running a mod 4.0.3 rom based
I'll try to sign me up for the soak...
I have searched through posts around this forum and other forums, but am unsure about root. I know how to root my phone, but wanted to know whether I can still upgrade to the official ics upgrade once it's released if I am rooted on gingerbread. I'm talking about the one click root methods that don't require a new kernel.
AFAIK you can. you'll just loose root when it updates
honestly I'd wait a day after the official update is released the devs will probably have it rooted and you wont have to worry about losing root

Why would u "upgrade" to a buggy bloated ics when we have a better debloated ics already? Don't do eeeet.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking a lot, but not registered until now.
I have been anxiously awaiting the ics update for my razr, but haven't gotten it yet. As I was checking my info on my phone I found that I only have 2.3.5.
Shouldn't I have gotten 2.3.6 by now to prepare for ics? I really want my ics but how will I ever get it if I don't even have 2.3.6?
If it helps, I live in Sweden and my operator is tele2/comviq.
If I search for updates it says it's up to date. What can I do?
Sent from my XT910 using xda-developers app
did you buy your phone used? maybe previous owner flashed with something weird?
Nope. It's bought brand new and I've updated once as far as I can remember. Still says 235 though.
Any idea? I'm so over it. I just want a version of ICS that works here in Sweden, any way really..
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
What version are you on? You can RSD an EMEA fastboot file to get the European updates, but there are probably better solutions if you don't want to mess with your phone :angel:
I'm on version 651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU .
Does that say anything to any of you guys..?
I'm fine with going the manual way of updating, as long as the version works as intended here in Sweden.
Although I do want the official release, not an earlier leak or a mod.
Yup, that's the latest version for the NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU, I'm on it as well (in Israel). There isn't an update to 2.3.6 for us
Not everyone in Sweden received 2.3.6, some was lucky updating to 2.3.6 (I was one of them) try to update via Motocast and see if there is anything there otherwise wait for the official ICS

I think if we waited so long, we can wait a few more days. We should be getting ICS in Q2... or so motorolla says.
But if you want, there are many posts around here on how to RSD-lite-your-way to ICS.
But does any of it apply for those of us in Europe? I've only seen the Verizon and Brazil updates.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Yes, there is this T-mobile EU leak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688241
Since I'm not that well informed, I'm going to ask to be sure.
If install it that way, am I still "official ROM" and can get future OTA? And everything will work as intended even though I don't have T-mobile?
Edit: also, since I've never updated like this with a new version of android, will I loose apps etc? It's not really a problem, just wondering.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
No, if you install that OTA you will not be entitled to the official OTA's from Motorola (AFAIK). And I know that going back to Gingerbread is not possible if you are on ICS. In my opinion is better to wait these 4 days and see if Motorola releases the official ICS on time (Q2)
I don't know if the one I gave you the link about is official (I doubt it) it's considered a leak and there might be bugs
If you cant wait, install EMEA 2.3.6 with RSD-Lite, then you should get the OTA as soon as it arrives in Europe. That's what I've done
@percz, does that mean that you've received the update, and does it mean that you got it from the official update service?

Also in Sweden, as someone mentioned earlier, I only got the update through motocast. Phone always just said it was upto date.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I installed the 2.3.5 fastboot and got an OTA to 2.3.6. I've made a post about it somewhere...
If you can and want to, could you send me a pm with what you used and how you did it?
Also, doesn't fast boot lock you to only manual updates in the future?
Sent from my XT910
You've got PM!
The fastboot files are Motorola original, just like the ones they use at the service centers, so there should be no problem
Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but I promise I have tried to find a solution prior to posting here.
This morning I have received the notification of software update I guess to JB and I have selected cancel download by mistake. Since then I cannot get the update back on my phone, I have tried scanning for the update and all sorts but nothing seems to work.
Anyone here have any idea how to get the phone back to update? I would prefer not to use kies if possible.

If it's any consolation it won't be Jellybean update as the rumour mill suggests there won't be an official JB release until late August.

If you couldn't download the update manually, just wait. It'll come again in a day or two.

If you live in Poland for the Note 3 variant there, or, stateside, have the S4. Our variant is on the list, but has been delayed, in part, by Google spanking Samsung's hand for putting in code that would have not allowed 3rd party accessories to work properly, and straying too far afield from Android.'
I think the way updates work is that the manufacturer (Samsung) releases the update to the carriers then the carriers add their bloat. Then finally the update is released to the public. Sprint has not released any statement about the 4.4 ota being released.

Theres already a leak of a seemingly final version of 4.4.2 TW that was posted and its fully working, granted w/ some final bugs that didn't get ironed out that samsung is working on. So if the posted info about the OTA coming soon is true, it will be sooner than later before we get the OTA file pushed to the servers for everyone to grab

I wonder if I should install the 4.3 TAR back on my phone and wait for a day or so and keep checking OTA lol.....I'm loving the 4.4.2 leak though and hopefully the kernel that comes w/ it is perfectly optimized and can enhance the battery life even more than the 4.4.2 leak
Is there a way to update to KK without losing root?

If you flashed the leaked build then you can't revert back to 4.3 however you can flash the 4.4 tar once its released

If you read through the 4.4 discussion page you will see that the bootloader that came with the leak is unlocked so you can go back 4.3. Once the official is released and you accept or flash it you will not be able to go back.

That is true only for the NA4 leaked build Due to the engineering bootloader. If you flashed the NAB leaked build then you can no longer go back.

Simplistic question. How will we make the transition from a rooted MJ4 JB rom to stock KK rom? I'm assuming by flashing a TAR? Will the current TWRP work with KK or will we have to wait for a new KK version?
