Just want to share the upgrade path of my Rogers Razr XT910.

My device was rooted using Doomlord's zergrush package. I also had the CWM-on-boot installed (installed razrbootstrap.apk followed by CWMonBoot.zip). Like everyone else - got the OTA through settings-->about phone-->system updates. I installed the OTA directly onto my zergrush rooted + CWM-on-boot Rogers Razr. The installation took about 5-10 minutes and was completed successfully.

After the OTA, the device lost its root, though superuser was still present. Motofail was then used to root the newly upgraded 2.3.6 GB Razr. I had to remove the CWM-on-boot first before rooting using MotoFail. There is a file in the forum "RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Remove-J.Y.Daddy.zip" that will remove the CWM-on-boot. This step was necessary otherwise Motofail fails to upload its payload after reboot. After rooting with Motofail, CWM-on-boot can be installed again using razr bootstrap.

My phone has been running fine. Not really noticing much difference from 2.3.5 GB. Some new icons, no noticeable difference in battery life. Keeping fingers crossed for a quick release of ICS.

How did you remove the cwm file while the device was unrooted,so how do I flash the remove file ?

Hmmm your method did not seem to work for me :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Your need to be root before removing razr bootstrap ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] superbrowndude:
So I did this and it worked,I just need to find the apn settings for my data to work now

I think my APN settings are locked,even after I input some info nothing displays in the apn settings.

So I tried rooting with this,and it restored my APN settings,when I goto use Titanium back up it says superuser denied it.

Rogers Rooted Razr XT910 2.3.6
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
Has anyone noticed any improvements since the update? I was out of town without cell coverage since tuesday. I was going to test things out now. I hope bluetooth and wifi have improved.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
improvement?

I have discovered bluetooth performance isn't any better for me. I still get stutters on my car stereo when using the phone and streaming bluetooth music. I have also experienced a couple times network data drops. (is that even a term?) My data stops working periodically. I'm starting to lose love for this device. I love the screen, and form factor. I am going to wait a little longer to see if things improve when (or if) ICS arrives. If not, I likely will wander to a new handset.

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Mine was rooted and cwm on boot-ed. It worked. I suspect when you rooted you removed some Rogers bloatware. If you didn't back it up you will need to go back and download a stock Rogers nandroid. Then try applying the update. You will have to re-root after using MOTOFAIL.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
In regards to performance, I haven't seen much of a change. I do notice that the bloatware seems to dominate the CPU usage less (which is very good). Where I've really noticed the update is in battery life. Note that I got my phone about a week ago and the battery is most likely still learning how to hold it's charge. Regardless I could never get the phone to last more than 12 hours on the previous OTA. On 2.3.6 I've managed to get my phone to last a solid 26 hours, still currently at 10% battery left.

For some reason the camera feels improved a lot in the new update. I'm used to taking drunken photos, most of which end up blurry. However since the update, it seems a lot of these photos turn out quite clearly.

As for anything else, I haven't really noticed a difference. Wifi seems the same and bluetooth I never use. Charging the device still seems to take quite a long time.

As for my process of getting to 2.3.6:

1. Rooted on 2.3.5

2. Installed Razr recovery bootstrap

3. Installed CWM on boot

4. Restored the stock 2.3.5 (rooted) Rogers image posted in this thread using CWM

5. Installed the voodoo OTA rootkeeper

6. Temp un-root inside voodoo

7. Installed OTA update to 2.3.6

8. Opened OTA rootkeeper and re-rooted

9. Success!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nidl_wtf:
hey, the other latam devices weren't updated yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
Wifi still absolutely sucks for me. I will likely go back to leaving it off. Charging for me has always been great when attached to an outlet. But using usb on a computer it is considerably slower.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
+1

Gotta same question guys, cause I had to flash my Rogers RAZR via Fla**** and now I'm in search of OTA for Vivo BR / Retail BR / Telcel / Personal AR. Are there updates for these ROMs?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
I wish i would have thought to save root. I cant seem to reroot since the update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
bbabiuk, motofail doesn't work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
Nope. I tried. It exits saying it was successful but root checker and titanium backup both show they can not aquire root privlidges.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Telus? No rom.for telus...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddizon89:
latham users...

pedro has got a hold of the official 2.3.6 update for us!

check development thread!

bluetooth problems no more for KHANG AND CM9 ICS releases!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Lol relax guys. Noticed the update on my way to school and was there all day and didn't get a chance to actually update it or post pictures as I don't have a screenshot app. Just wanted to see if anyone else tried to update. You should see the following screen automatically. I unlocked my phone to read a text message while on the train and the following screen just popped up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
well im rooted, just downloaded the ota, went into /cache from es file explorer and nothing. plus i have no idea what filename im looking for so im in the dark here
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Do you installed it? If so, you may have erased (wiped) cache folder in process. :d

Will try to get from here.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
no i see the cache folder but its empty

i dont know.. it wont isntall for me because my theory is im on rogers network on an unlocked fido phone. so its downloading the rogers branded update and failing when trying over the fido rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
So i just completed the update. It does definitely upgrade you to 2.3.6. There is now a persistent Network ID in the notification bar which is is annoying IMO, and the settings menu now has colourful icons. Also icons for text messaging, music, gallery and file manager have been altered to include the motocast branding Will have to use it for a couple of days and see if there any under the hood changes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
I'm using a Rogers branded razr on Fido and the update worked flawlessly. I assume it should work the other way around as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
fml.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech guy 88:
Fido

Hey guys has anyone on Fido been hit by this update or is it just locked to Rogers currently?

Also if it took this long to get 2.3.6 in Canada I bet that we will get ICS when Santa comes to town.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Hope not. Motorola has publicly announced ICS for Q2 of this year for Canada.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Currently in the process of restoring back to Rogers Stock from CM9. I'll download the OTA and post here asap!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
thanks man, I'm outside the borders, cannot get the files. thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
Awww, No update for me yet........:(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
so i finally got into the /cache folder and found Blur_Version.651.73.240.XT910.Fido.en.CA.zip lol .. if anybody wants a copy of this i guess it could be of some use.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Still restoring but it would be nice if you could upload the file gunness1991
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Of course it this lol

Put it in dropbox

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Hmm restored to stock and system updates still shows nothing. I don't believe I have to unroot to OTA correct?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
no i got the prompt with root
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
Yeah I restored to stock from Brazil ROM and I got no update too!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Really weird. Perhaps it may be because I flashed the Vivo radio.img since I was having some issues with the Rogers radio. Someone else will have to upload the update then. Sorry guys. :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Yep, you have to be in stock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
well im out of ideas. i watch the file download and when its done all thats in the cache folder is the old original .zip file. and then when i click install now, it shows the android guy with an open box and 1/4 way through i see a triangle and it fails the update
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Can you upload the file to dropbox or something?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
http://www.2shared.com/file/W6zVGhX3/Blur_Version65173240XT910Fidoe.html

so as far as my knowledge goes, this would be an official fido rom. i think lol.

im gonna factory reset my phone and try the update again. i need these bug fixes. kind of tired of no sim errors , games freezing, etc
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Thanks for the speedy upload. I'm gonna try installing it and see what happens.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
its the fido rom the razer shipped with.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Hmm it is the update. I tried installing it via stock recovery and it aborted the update. I have a feeling its signed again with different keys for fido/rogers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
no its not fake i work at Rogers/Fido
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
lol

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 AM ----------

so is there a workaround? my only idea is sticking a fido sim in this phone and upgrading that way through the fido network :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Not sure yet. I'm still looking into it. I don't think the simcard should affect the OTA process. You just need to have the correct unaltered system thats all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
well ive done a factory reset and nothing. now i dont even get the prompt. im going to bed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Yes, sim card does affect the OTA process. Get one. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Looks like Google + is now pre installed and can't be removed unless you're rooted. Sigh... more bloatware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Can you grabb OTA file and share with us?

lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Does it require you to be rooted to do that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
yeah
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Im not rooted and don't want to be unless there's a super easy way to do it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SlayerX:
i moved my RaZr away from Rogers onto Virgin. do you think it still has ties back into rogers to get the upgrade?

Can someone post the Rogers one please...??

[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
How do i reverse the root in case I need to revert back to unrooted status to get future ota updates?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
does anybody know anything about RSD and fastboot files? im coming from a nexus s and am not familiar with this at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
There is an unroot guide in the development section. You should be able to use that to unroot.

.

RSDLite is basically a motorola tool for restoring your phone to stock using fastboot files. Fastboot files are official stock roms released by Motorola incase you completely need to restore your device. However, since they have a lot of variants of different roms based on regions, you need to use the correct fastboot file or else it wont flash. For Rogers, the only fastboot files we can use are the Vivo and Retail.BR ones since those signatures are accepted by the Rogers branded XT910's and vice-versa.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
6.5.1_73_SLC-24_SIGNLATAM_USASPYDTELMXB1B2B5B8B8LA01A.0R_USASPYTELMX0LA_P004_A006_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip

so with my fido branded phone would this be the one to flash? im matching the above bolded part with what i see in my about section on the phone
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
It will flash, but i'd hold off on it since you'd switch over to updates on the Retail BR branded XT910's. And since we don't have any Rogers/Fido fastboot files, you won't be able to go back onto full stock or receive Rogers/Fido updates
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Ok thanks. Giving it a whirl now. Will post back soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
that is really good to know because i was just about to flash that file. thanks.

so now when i did a factory reset and tried to manually flash Blur_Version.651.73.240.XT910.Fido.en.CA through stock recovery im getting an error 7 gotomeeting.apk / package.zip failed something along those lines. is this a known problem?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
It's really easy, you'll need to delete 3 files, reboot and done.

here's a clean youtube tutorial:

http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-unroot/how-to-unroot-droid-razr/

You can either use rootexplorer to delete these 3 files.

Please? lol

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

you had removed it right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
yeah but made a copy.. i didnt permanently remove it. i put the copy on the SD card, renamed to update.zip, then i got the following errors
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
mine is working no prob :)

and gunness yeah LOL
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
He means the bloatware app. Thats why you're getting the error.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
I seem to be having trouble rooting. My terminal app just says Device Found and then does nothing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
f*** i might have.. how on earth would i put that back to do a fresh install ? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
had you turned on usb debuging? after the update it was turned off by default.

Thanks man
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Pedro. Have you tried installing the file gunness posted a few pages ago? It is the update but I keep getting the signature mismatch.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Yes I did, trying it again and now it just says Daemon started successfully. Will reboot my phone and try again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Install, astro file manager and copy the file to download folder

conect usb mass storage and copy the file, you don't need to be rooted to save the file.

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

It's not a fido update? That fido ota is an old one. the first release.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
that wasnt the update, it was my stock fido file. the update is .3331 or something like that. but it wouldnt download for me for some reason .. either that or i couldnt find it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Get astro file manager, you'll not need to be rooted to get the file

:cool:

Edit:

Copy and paste in download folder

Connect usb mass storage

And voilà
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Yeah, this rooting is definitely not working from my mac. I'll try it out on my Windows machine over the weekend if no one else posts the OTA file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
I know its named wrong but it is the update file. When flashing through stock recovery, it does show the singnature mismatch for the new update version to M333.1 . Also its only 93 MB or so. Can't possibly be a full ROM and as far as I know neither Rogers/Fido have received any OTA's since the release of the phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Look my previouly post
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
OK I got astro file manager. Where do I find the file. Im not rooted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
so i cant install this because of a gotomeeting.apk error 7 etc.. how do i fix this? root and plant these files back on the phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
It's on cache folder

Open astro file manager, type 'up' twice, you'll see cache folder :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Cache folder just says empty and I have the show hidden files option checked.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
You can restore the Rogers Nandroid Backup I had posted in the general section. Make sure you follow the instructions and you'll get a fully stock Rogers Rom pre rooted+cwm+all bloat intact.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
but then i wont be able to flash the update i posted lol

plus i have a fido phone, sim unlocked on rogers, so i dont really want to flash a rogers rom . rather keep it stock
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
True. Hmm you'll have to look for someone with a factory or bloat intact Nandroid of the Fido Rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
so is this the issue? I Cant update because i deleted bloatware? :confused:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Hi Pedro I'm just wondering why are you so interested in this Rogers update?

As I understand you have some Brazilian firmware but update is in fact for devices running Rogers' ROM. Am I wrong and there is a way to install this update on BR or AR devices?

I hope I'm mistaken though ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Rogers, and all LatAm devices are made in Brazil and hardware signature are the same. That's why. This Canadian rom will work in any LatAm Razr

Got it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Oh, so why haven't you shared original fastboot files yet?! :D

If smb do this it would be marvellous.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
i second this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Well it sounds good but I anyway doubt that Rogers' OTA could be installed on Brazilian ROM and vice versa. Nandroid backups, fastboot firmware - no prob. But OTAs... Just think about it: different bloatware, different bootanimation, etc. Update sript will check if the /system is Rogers' one. Oh, well, we are free to put stock Rogers' via nandroid before launching update! - just thoughts :p Again, I hope I'm mistaken. Looking forward to seeing smb's post with "happy-ending".

And Pedro, you don't have to say "got it?" again and again. We Russians also speak English sometimes if you understand what I mean :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Did I said got it more then once? Sorry, didn't mean that and thanks for warning me

Well,

If I can nandroid stock rogers rom, the hardware are exactly the same what can be the priblem with ota?

Edit:

This was I thought for first before reading correctly your post.

Now I realize your razr are LatAm too right?

:-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Yeah, I bought it on eBay from Canada's resident and that time I didn't expect any region related issues. Also I was cheated by Moto promise to unlock the bootloader. If I knew what would happen then I would hardly buy this device despite its outstanding design and attraction. I'd rather purchased EMEA model instead ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Anyone could get ota files for sharing with cmmunity?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:

Just wanted to post the same :)

Tried to install Fido update shared here on Rogers but installation aborted.

And btw no OTA is available when checking updates (restored Rogers' stock via nandroid - for nothing, as it turned out :().
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
No ota for me too. But I'm outside borders, and my sim card don't get in roaming. Keep trying. :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
Weird. I have a Rogers phone on the Fido network and nothing. Defrosted all the bloatware and every time I check for updates it comes up that I'm up to date. Damn it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
I'm in the US on AT&T using a rogers/fido razr on stock firmware, all bloat, rooted with bootstrap, and I'm getting "your system is up to date". I am quite close to canada and I believe rogers and AT&T are on the same gsm frequencies (didn't have to unlock the phone for it to work on AT&T). What am I doing wrong? Do I need to unroot to see the update? That doesn't make much sense to me, I would think it would just fail if you were rooted. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
so i can confirm the file i posted earlier in the thread was indeed the update. but it'll only install over a FIDO rom. i was having trouble because i rooted and deleted business apps, so i needed to download a FIDO nandroid (thank god it existed) and then the update went smoothly. it does bring 2.3.6 and a different text message icon, and hopefully bug fixes. so somebody still needs to post the update thats using ROGERS on a ROGERS phone. unless you can take my FIDO update and modify it or something

you do not need to unroot to receive the update!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Weird, I'm on a stock Fido rom and I'm getting the "Your system is up to date!" whenever I check for updates through the settings menu.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
download the file i posted in the thread and flash it from stock recovery!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Lol alright. I was about to flash via clockwork :P I'll update this in a few.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g2tegg:
So this is not for Rogers? Just for Fido?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
It's a Fido update, not rogers. I'll post a nandroid when I get this working so everyone can have it. Question, though:

I have to flash via stock recovery, so where am I supposed to put the update? The usual "Download" folder isn't found since thte stock recovery doesn't look on your external sd card, but rather internal. Do I need this in a specific folder?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gunness1991:
yeah unfortunately. people tried flashing on a rogers rom and no luck. waiting for somebody to get the OTA on a rogers phone and post it. its really not that hard lol. download it, install later, root phone, use es-file explorer, enable root in es, browse to /cache folder and copy/paste the .zip to your computer lol
