Im sure there is a way but why were you not using Root Keeper from the Market. I also did the update but i kept root. Live and learn. Weve all been there before.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] h1p1n3:
I was not aware of Root keeper before the update went through. But I found a way to roll back to 6.11 here http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/705-motorola-upgradedowngrade-links-officialunofficial-611744-612174/

re-rooted and good to go. I will not update again in the mean time if I can help it. I did not appreciate the **** they put on the phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] weedahoe:
LOL.....Yeah, gotta watch the boards and RSS feeds and you will know when the updates are coming before they actually come and can prepare if needed. Glad you were able to roll back easily though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
My Razr downloaded the update last night but I didn't install it. I downloaded RootKeeper from the market and backed up root, then installed the update. After rebooting ran Root Keeper and restored root. Rebooted the phone and ran Titanium and everything I had frozen was still frozen. Right back to normal now. Now to see what kind of crap I have to contend with with this update.

Question though, when I didn't install the update it popped up every 2 hrs reminding me to update. If I had chosen not to update ever, what would I do to stop it from reminding me, forever.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
I still haven't updated and continue to get the pop up reminder but its now every 12 hours.

I want to update but don't know how to use root keeper. I was setting a lot of ppl losing root still. I have the su backup. Do I need to temp UN-root before I update the ota?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WVULTRA:
Here's a very simple procedure for getting back to a completely stock ver .748:

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/798-how-to-retain-root-on-ota-612173/

You can follow Matt's Utility and end up

rooted

on .173.

If you don't wish to use OTA Rootkeeper, then via the Utility, get back to stock .748 then update to .173 via OTA or manual.

If you wish to directly root .173, then here's the link:

HTH's!

;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
I did not unroot first, I didn't even unfreeze my frozen apps. I just installed Root Keeper and when you run rootkeeper it gives you the option to back up root. Tap that button, and you'll notice that it then tells you it's backed up. At that point just install the update. Run rootkeeper again and click on the restore root button. Takes 1 second. Reboot again so your apps that required root access will refreeze everything.

Good luck

The problem for me was the Environmental Variables values for ADB. I had a colon instead of a semi-colon between the file locations.

My guess is that this update change the mapping of the MEM point used in the exploit.

Anyone know how did saurik determine the MEM location? Or if there is a potential update location we can try?

Looking at the bionic recovery it mounts	/dev/block/mmcblk1p21 as system

where as the cat /proc/partitons shows	/dev/block/mmcblk1p20 as

there is a few others that appear misaligned but to be honest im not happy playing with this until there is SBF files
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Works like a charm, thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hashcode:
So some observations about the setup of the RAZR:

1. You're right that /system is 1p20 not 1p21 like the D3/Bionic. This is a result of dropping a 512 block partition after utags so the #'s slide down from there.

2. A small /preinstall. The RAZR as it is currently, doesn't work well with Safestrap. I use the /preinstall partition as a 2nd-system. But to do that it needs to be >400MG. And the RAZR's is around 8MG.

3. The way they got around having a small preinstall was to loopback mount the 2 games: bowling and rthunder.

4. They added more /system space. I'm not sure if this is in prep for ICS. But, the RAZR has over 700MG in the /system partition. Compared to ~420MG for D3/Bionic.

5. Interestingly, the init files don't mention the wrigley (LTE) that's in the Bionic at all (and obviously the radio may be completely different due to size restrictions). But in general, it looks they're compartmentalized the code for LTE into a different lib or something vs. how it's done on the Bionic.

6. The logwrapper hijack should now happen on the pds mount, not 2-3 lines below on the userdata mount.

Thank you for submitting those. They're probably a roadmap for some of the changes we'll see on the D3/Bionic as well in future updates.

Losing 4g LTE

Rooting went well, TB moved everything as expected. When you install any launcher the Motorola launcher disappears with no access. Also has caused loss of 4g connectivity at times. 3g/4g alternating and then losing totally. No other programs running that could be causing this issue. Tech support, of course, said there is nothing wrong with the network in the north Dallas area.:(
