Yup...i did it to myself. My update failed to install. I had removed the bloatware without backup. Anyone have any suggestions besides quit screwing with your phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Restore a stock nandroid. There are a few floating around. DO NOT fastboot ANYTHING, as you will have no prayer of getting this update if you do.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
That's correct! If you do not flashed it already to another rom it's possible to restore blur bloatware.

Wish you luck!:cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
I've got a Fido I could give you, but I think you'd be better off searching for a stock Rogers one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Use mine. Make sure you follow the instructions!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
This is a quite nice stock nandroid backup, wiped, no change. Had used it.

Very usefull evonc, thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sicsiksix:
Just got the update here in BC. Copied the Blur_Version.651.73.240.XT910.Rogers.CA.zip to my sdcard before I installed. Unfroze my bloat and it installed no issues... Regretting it now as it put the Rogers name in the notification bar, pretty stupid looking.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Can you please upload it to dropbox/mediafire or something?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Well cause if they do it for you ( knowing u bricked the phone ) they will charge you 60$ too 100$ thats why ;) .

and as none authorized Motorola service repair they charge 40$ with a Latam ( he told me yeah it is a fido and all the bull**** but when he started to flash and i saw its the Latam P016 ( retail.br ) i wished him a good day ...

Im checking to so see how i can have it. and if i was able to do it for sure i will upload it.. SO wish me luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sicsiksix:
I've put it up here:

filefactory.com/file/3rdqprezje5d/n/Blur_Version_651_73_240_XT910_Rogers_en_CA_zip

Didn't want to make an account somewhere and have nowhere to host it, so hopefully it works out, if not I'll try to find somewhere else to put it...

I'm assuming the .crc file is not needed, but if it is I can toss that up too :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Gah, still no word on the Vivo update. Hope we get that soon, the rogers/fido updates are giving me hope :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
Just got the notification, but no signal here barely. Have to get on wifi, but perform the unroot and no cwm
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quickstart:
Just downloaded mine. There are a few different icon designs. Still looking through it atleast trying to at work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
I'm gonna give it a run and see what happens if i try to flash it with the rogers nandroid on the Retail.BR version since i had to fastboot back after a bootloop. Keep you guys posted
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Don't bother, it won't work. I've tried EVERYTHING, and since nandroid only restores certain things, unlike fastboot which resets everything, looks like you're in the same boat as me: wait until vivo updates.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nidl_wtf:
Hey guys, u tried that? nothing?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
got a rogers notification update for motorola razr update 651.167.3331 on my rogers phone today can i update even tho my phone is rooted? thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper. It'll unroot you and re-root you after update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
its the update isn't ICS, is it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
Great will try this later thanks!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
No, that's 2.3.6

Sent from my miui xt910 :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
I wish lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
lol thx

u guys on LATAM ROM should try powaloka... its 2.3.6 and it works great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djbuan:
My update failed! OMG! Is it even necessary to do the update? anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
Apparently you can't read. I said I had a similar issue, like for instance it fails 1/4 of the way through. Not one time did I mention anything about deleting any rogers apps from my phone. All I did was simply root.....THATS IT. I also have nothing to do with the FIDO network. I bought a Rogers phone to use on the.....Rogers network. Please explain to me again how this is exactly what I am experiencing?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Hmm I still got the MBM:Boot error when trying to install it on the Rogers Nandroid. Thought it might work by some stroke of luck.

Now my next experiment will be unpacking the bp.img file and seeing whether the extracted kernel/radio can be flashed directly to the phone via fastboot mode. And if it does flash, then the update can be run since those files are probably the ones causing all the issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Here's your problem, nandroid does not change the /boot partition, but fastboot does. Looks like you're out of luck dude.

Sent from my miui xt910 :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nidl_wtf:
well, i hope that a next update ll be a brasil rom ...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nimnox:
Carrier Name

EDIT: This doesn't seem to work on 2.3.6, still stuck with "ROGERS" in the bar.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Yes I know it doesn't change the boot partition but I thought the Retail.BR was very similar to the Rogers one apart from the webtop. Anyways back to extracting the bp.img from the OTA zip and trying to flash it via fastboot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Yep you can but safer do use rootkeeper 1rst to back up the root...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] B407:
Rogers and Motorola officially announced the update today. Hopefully more of you will be able to get it by OTA now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
Success

Ok, I used your nandroid restore. I am mid-restore....crossing my fingers. My eyes are peeled on the screen as it updates. I am halfwat through and so far so good.

(sorry! I have been drinking as I have been doing this, and posting. I might be a little punchy.)

2/3 of the way...so far so good.

this is exciting. it didn't get this far before. last time it got 1/4 way and barfed and rebooted.

gasp!... 3/4 of the way.

omg.. it is going to update. (I never thought an android update would make me excited, but if this fixes my bluetooth and network performance I will be positively giddy!)

almost there!

rebooting.......and....................................................................................

still rebooting........

still rebooting........

android version 2.36!!!!

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone that helped!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
Only made it a quater of the way on the progress bar and it rebooted... Software update failed. I removed CWM on boot, unstalled bootstrap and unrooted. Cache/dalvik wipe. No luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
I am using evonc nandroid restore and my update failed......... I also used ota root keeper before the update to. Hmmm.... how to fix?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
Get the torches and pitch forks, and find you closest rogers store!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Did you ever use fastboot? If you've fastbooted your Razr EVER, you're out of luck on this update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
Worked

I used evonc's nandroid to restore the rom and it worked. I was able to download and install the update. I'm now updated to 2.3.6 on latest build/kernel. Thanks dude!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
I have flashed an brazil rom before, is that a fastboot process?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Yes, it is.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SlayerX:
I just ran the update. I am on Virgin here in Canada and had no problem downloading the update. I have rooted and unlocked the phone using an online unlock website (the name eludes me). I did however, go and defrost (unfreeze) all my Rogers Bloatware apps before upgrading. Took about 5-10 minutes here at work, on battery power. Looks nice, better icons in the settings etc but ROOT it gone. i will have to reroot later when i get home.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
Awww,:( so there is absolutely no possible way to get my phone back to absolutely stock?:(

No sir. Sorry :(

[Motorola Droid RAZR] chriskwan:
I was reading on another forum post on here and someone said that if I fastboot rogers again that it will update. Problem is that I don't think a rogers fastboot exists.....How do fastboot files even come into existence?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
Nope. I just had nuked rogers bloatware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
I called fido.rogers. ( i know motorola wont give it to me ) but still i called them too and they all was send your phone to MOTO to fix it for you.

For sure i didnt...

Update failes on rooted phone

Hi guys,

I keep trying to install this update but it doesn't work.

I've rooted my phone.

Any ideas on how I can figure out why the update fails??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Did you intalled bootstrap?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dral29:
Yes bro, well, im a noob meaning that I dont want to give bad advice but... I had my razr rooted with motofail (since DoomLord didnt worked)

I erase game, urmusic, etc (rogers apps); I download the OTA update, install it and it worked!!! No probs, nothing. I just notice that is no longer rooted and the apps I deleted came back. Good luck fella
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
28 pages

and no attachment or link for Rogers update.zip. Shame on you, guys.

So will I be able to have my phone updated if I'm currently running Vivo firmware but with Rogers nandroid (/system directory)? Or do I need to flash Rogers firmware via fastboot/Fla****/RSD first?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dral29:
Sorry for my behalf bro! I dont know nothing about developpement... Otherwise I would share the update.

Ive already started to look into the term (SDK, nandroid, Rom...) to save time maybe u can direct me into the good link to know what u are demanding :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Unfortunally not. You need stock fido rom. Sorry
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
I"m on Fido Not sure I want to install the RogersStock.7z Nandroid backup if say this works and it lets me update finally will I be back on my proper Fido firmware ? and is there no way just to flash my phone back to the way it originally was using a flash tool then just updating myphone via OTA ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Unfortunately for me, all who have updated their devices cannot share the update.zip package 'cause it's automatically deleted after the upgrade procedure. But the rest of you people, for the love of God pls download the update as you see update notification but don't choose "update now" option. Use "update later" instead. Then go to /cache directory on your phone and copy "update.zip" (it might have the other name, but it should be .ZIP file) to your computer for posterior sharing. I suggest mediafire.com as the best service for such things.

AFAIK you shouldn't have you device rooted for access to the root directory of your Android filesystem. You'd better install ES file Explorer from Google Play and choose so-called "root folder" option in its Settings menu. Then just tap up button from the default directory of ES File Explorer and navigate to /cache directory. That's it bros and sorry for my bad English.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
The update is on this thread. However you cannot install it if you aren't in stock system. Recovering will work for those that never flashed their razrs

Update is coming for everyone really soon
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
I'm on rooted stock so should update for me fine correct?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quickstart:
i downloaded it this afternoon. there are new icon for apps. also a new settings menu look. video camera has its own app icon now. google plus and google plus messenger come with the new update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] laerun81:
Update File

Is anyone by chance still looking for the update file? I thought a few people had already shared it on this forum but if we're still looking for the OTA straight from rogers I have it saved. Just let me know!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] disco_stu911:
Does anyone know how to remove ROGERS from the task bar?

I was using the Carrier Name change app to change it to something else before but that doesn't seem to effect the text in the status bar after this update :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
That's right Did you removed any application delivered with rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
No all still there
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Nice. You're good to go.. Get the Ota in this thread, copy to your cache folder and update your razr. You need to be rooted.

Rogers update

I thought i would post the rogers update again for those who can't find it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?uul66gjrch562
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
The update that's mentioned on my rogers phone is 651.167.3331 is this the same as the one you posted? Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GraileR1:
yes it is. I downloaded it last night but I can't use it as I have been flashbooting for months now. Am on rogers nandroid rom now, can't stand the bloatware. May go back to the arctic rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
You should give MIUI 4 a go. Yes, if you hit bluetooth, you're in trouble. But avoid it and you're looking at a solid ICS daily driver. The new google apps are so much better than the old ones, it's really hard to go back to gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GraileR1:
Ok thanks xxBrun0xx, I will check it out as I don't need to have BT working.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Nandroid wont work for you anyway. If u still have ur fido stock use a bloated fido nandroid so you will be able to update. If you fastboot with LATAM rom the only option is to wait ur Latam fastbooted rom to be updated or till some1 to upload for us the canadian XT910 stock rom...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
Artic rom is that a good rom you recommend maybe? Hate bloatware myself and need somethingsmooth and stable
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
The Arctic is good if you want gingerbread and/or need bluetooth. If you don't care much for bluetooth, I'd recommend an ICS rom for the updated google apps. The Arctic also is quite optimized, whereas the ICS roms are not, so if you're a heavy gameloft gamer, I'd stick with The Arctic for now. Been running MIUI for a week now with no problems aside from a few force closes every once in a while, but it's pretty rare.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
try powaloka v0.0.2

its EU 2.3.6 that works on Rogers/Fido/retail.BR.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GraileR1:
I had some great success with J.Y. Daddy's KANG rom. Ran it a couple of weeks. Got it running smoothly by starting off with BR fastboot, then acrtic rom cwm and then KANG. One thing I found, you need to power down before plugging in or boot loops happens. cheers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dral29:
I rooted my phone, before I installed the update. The root went off but still have the superuser app on the phone. Wil I be able to root again? Whats the state of my phone? I mean im not rooted according to rooted apps but when using the videos app of new update it says that my phone do seem rooted... :S
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
So there's no actual website that we can go to download are original Fido firmware and just flash it on are phones ..

Oh man that really sucks things seem a bit more complicated then they use to be with my Xperia

Well u can have a nandroid but if u fastbooted your phone(as i already mentioned) no need to waste your time by "" restore and stuff "" cause it wont work.. im planning to sell my Razr and get one from europe at least i can use lot of stock rom...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
This should be added to the OP so people stop asking the same questions over and over. QFT
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
Ok what do I have to do to get updated here with my Razr ? I'm running on a stock XT910 from Fido and I'm guessing that some of the mods I have done now with rooting my Razr is what's stopping this update from going through battery life is one of my biggest issues with this phone and not to mention it came with buggy firmware to begin with
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
or if u bought the $50 3-yr warranty in costco, u can just microwave it for 5 seconds and return the damn thing :D

...u didnt hear that from me.... :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Actually, the only thing you can't undo is fastboot, so as long as you haven't touched that, you're fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Rooting is not supposed to block you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Hahah. thanks but i dont want a latam version.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
No it isn't but I Made some changes in my phone and accident uninstalled a system app but besides that I'm not the only one with this problem So is there any non rooted Razr users here that are having the same problem tell me ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AngryPeter:
Bah!

I rooted my phone but haven't made any other changes to it, no deleted system apps or even frozen system apps, but the update won't install for me. I tried unrooting my phone and factory reseting, update still doesn't work. I'm a noob at this so alot of these more complex suggestions on the thread I don't understand, but any other advice for a simpleton such as myself?

--Edit--

I've got some more info to add (first off this is a Rogers Razr I'm using) - I downloaded the update from this thread and attempted to install it through the system recovery menu - it starts out fine, but when it gets to the part where it's "verifying current system" it says "assert failed: apply_patch_check ("/system/app/GenieWidget.odex" - and then there's a long string of random letters and numbers followed by: "E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)" and the install aborts. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
It means you have deleted a system file. The update is trying to patch but itsn'there.

You'll be fine rooted and cwm restore the rogers nandroid backup to fix removed apps.

You're almost there. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AngryPeter:
Thanks man, unfortunately I'm not familiar with this "cwm" or nandroid stuff. But I have figured out that I can add this "GenieWidget" file (one with the same "checksum") to my /system/app folder using ES File Explorer and that might fix the problem (as long as nothing else is missing). Would anyone be willing to post the "system" dump from their Rogers Razr for me to pick through?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
AngryPeter, while no one has shared system dump to you I suggest a little quest for you. Just search this forum for "RAZR bootstrap" and you find it so easy to install and run nandroid backup/restore that you won't even realize how could you live without that. Really. As for Rogers stock pls check this tread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1570466&highlight=rogers

After all you'll get 15 points of exp. :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
Hey guys just to let you know, I'm selling my RAZR and getting a nexus.

What about a Fido Nandroid that I could use ? and do I have to use Clockwork mod or can I even use Titanium backup as well ?

depends what u mean by some changes ( fastbooting the phone ) is a some changes. do u still on Fido stock rom? did u ever change it ( with a nandroid or Cust ROm ) ? if the answer is YES u know the reason now. if the answer is NO try to use a a clean Original Nandroid for fido ( some pers was able to update ) Me no i wasnt and still cant cause i flashed the rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
No I never successfully flashed any ROM I believe I tried ROM manger but nothing happened what I did do was accidentally uninstalled the smart actions app by trying to convert it to a user app I've changed my boot logo and font and maybe a couple other little things.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
Thanks for the bootstrap link I download the apk and will give it a go once I do more reading about all this later I've read most of this thread but have been functioning off of very little sleep lately hopefully I can get this to work without sending my phone in to Motorola and get to still keep root if possible .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Root deletion isn't so bad as u maybe think, because u can always root ur 2.3.6 phone again with "motofail" (search the forum for this).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
Yeah I was thinking I might still be able to just wasn't sure .

u send it back to Rogers, they'll give u a Rogers version... why would u get a LATAM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] turilo:
May i recommend you get the galaxy note much better of a phone!:) i had the lte version but switched to the international brand much quicker and custom roms!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Torres77an:
I like the Galaxy Note too but that may just be to big for some people but I do agree it's a better phone then the nexus almost so much so that it's not even a phone any more it's not for some one with small hands or pockets any way but the pen stylus and large screen can come in handy especially with games like draw something .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yorgo1982:
Honestly i dont even use the rogers neither the fido version on the 2nd phone. Its only for update that i want it and then i will re nandroid it to a middle eastern version. And no i wont send a phone to fido or rogers it takes up to 20 days while i can ship it to motorola and then fix it in 1 week.

And by the way maybe u dont know but fido/rogers is a latam version too... Spyder only retail.br is a tagra.rest of latam are spyder too
[Motorola Droid RAZR] superbrowndude:
OK I seriously need some help here !

I rooted the phone a while back(2.3.5),then a few days ago I got the OTA for 2.3.6

I obviously was unable to update cause I was rooted,so I had a wild idea and downloaded a app from the market called Ginger Unroot.

I ran it and it unrooted the phone,so I tried re installing the update.It keeps failing after 1/4 of the way though.

So I know that im missing files because I rooted it.

I downloaded the root tool again with the handset drivers.

I went to install the driver and it said the driver is already up to date.

I tired to Re-Root,everything said it was fine during the process and it said it was successful.

I ran Titanium back up,and I still do not have root access.

I wanted to re-root so I could flash someone's Nan-droid back up.

So now I'm stuck and don't know what to do now :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Use the motofail exploit instead of zergrush. Zergrush doesn't work for 2.3.6
