No, thank you for the awesome tool. I have no doubts that I'll be on ICS Leak tonight.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
What is sbf?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
I'm in!!! After almost 8 hours it finally went. This was the hardest easiest ICS install that I've done.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
SBF is fastboot. It's a file that will restore you back to stock using RSDLite.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Congrats!!! Have fun with it, glad we could all help you out!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
It's what option 9 of this tool does via RSD Lite. It may be called something else these days (fxz or something) but I'm a long time rooter and I've always refered to it as sbf. It basically restores the phone back to stock 110%.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
short version of saying that you need to Flash you phone with RSDLite 5.6
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jideay:
I have the stock 181 soak. In following the batch file, I can't seem to get into the "AP Fastboot mode" by holding down the up and down volume and power buttons, then when the screen goes black letting go and holding power down again and wait for the boot mode. The phone just boots as normal.

EDIT: OK the instructions are wrong, at least for 181. Power off normally, then power up while holding down all three keys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
thanks, good thing I've been watching this thread rather than flashing, heh. I will fastboot 173 via rsdlite (option 9 instructions) rather than option 1 as I currently have bootstrapper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
you have to push all three simultaneously then when the screen goes black only release the power button and then repress the power button while still holding the volume buttons
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
Per the instructions. You need to fastboot back. To get into AP Fastboot you have to first POWER OFF the phone. THEN hold down vol+ and vol-, then press the power button.

SIDENOTE: Holding down the power and vol- button while the phone is on is the same thing as doing a battery pull. Which is what you did. Turn the phone OFF, then do all 3.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddfuji:
sooooo is there a way to go back to gb? i used your v1.0 method and it was succesful, but when i try to use rsd or any other utility none of them recognize my phone, so i cant fastboot back to .173. any suggestions? and i would put my phone into charge only mode but ics doesnt have this option...

nevermind, i think i got it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
the ICS equivalent of charge mode is camera mode
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddfuji:
my system files for camera is borked, so that might cause issues. but if you just go to ap fastboot mode then rsd can detect the device. so i think i got it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
I'm thinking I may go back to GB, then back to ICS and make the cycle. would it help anyone if I did that?

I would record the entire process btw
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddfuji:
im having problems getting back to gb.

when attempting rsd i get an error saying. "mbmloader.bin"-> size returned by phone does not match what was expected.

so i have no idea how to get back to gb.

if you can get back to gb i would like to see how
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
Im going to make a few videos when I get a chance. I did a quick walkthrough of the ICS install and I'm uploading it now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Uh oh, this is what I was worried about. I'll wait and see if the sbf works before I flash ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jideay:
I finally got back to 173 but now I can't root it. I'm getting an error message within the batch file, "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command. operable program or batch file"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
with this utility you can go back and forth as many time as you would like. If the utility borks it, use RSDLite 5.6 I have even been so kind as to include it in the installer. everything you need is located in the download on the front page.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sarcean:
I need advice:

I initially used the 1.0 to install ICS and am currently still running ICS. I lost root during the install and can't seem to get it back..even with terminal commands.

What is the best way to reinstall ICS and get/retain root? Would downloading the 1.1 installer do anything for me if i am running non rooted ICS?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
read the OP and watch the video. The files need to be in the right place.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
If you can stand it, flash .173 and redo the whole process. also try going into the Superuser app and updating your su binary.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
Seriously. You are awesome! Lol

Sent from my DROID RAZR running ICS 4.0.3 fully rooted!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sarcean:
Maybe a silly question, but easiest way to flash .173? Then I can assume I can run this 1.1 installer and finally have rooted ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
easiest way is to DL v1.1 and install RSDLite 5.6 from there

I even included the fastboot file and instructions on how to use it in the utility
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
video imo is crappy. I'm gonna do some higher quality ones with less shake and blurryness, but it gets the job done. goes though the whole process from starting at a clean .173 install to restoring root after ICS is installed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sarcean:
Thanks :D I am sure where I went wrong with 1.0 is I hit install OTA rootkeeper but just assumed that is all I needed to do to keep root :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
You talked me into it. Start the timer. I'm about to sbf and start the update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheBurgh:
Just picked up my razr today. It is stock 6.12.181.XT912

Can I use this utility
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
its been a half hour you done yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
completely stock?

you are a prime candidate for this utility my friend.

i'll help if needed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
It just pushed the ICS files and now it's rearranging them. I'm on a netbook. It doesn't get in a hurry. LOL

Edit: And now it's installing. It's looking promising.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wdphoto:
I downloaded again and when i click icsinstaller it opens and closes immediatley. any clues?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
You running it as Admin?

Is your files and folder setup like the picture Rouxe posted on the front page?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
nice!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I'm on ICS with root. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trikzal:
Hey can anyone upload this WITHOUT the fastboot files? I already have both RSD and .173 files on my computer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wdphoto:
Yes my folder looks identical to the one in the OP and i tried running as admin.

Edit: I got it. I see one thing i forgot. I had the folder on the desktop. I moved it to C: and BAM it works. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheBurgh:
It is completely stock. Trying to do my research before flashing. Came from the NS4G but could not handle the crappy sprint service anymore. Will I be good to go if I follow your tutorial?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
git er done!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wdphoto:
Will this utility work to go from ICS leak back to .173?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trikzal:
help

Anyone want to upload those files? Even without the ICS files I just do not want to download 2.52GB to my computer when I only need like 50 MB of it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jideay:
Watched the video twice; redownloaded everything. Still the same error message.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] a.leah86:
I feel like I'm just missing some stupid little thing, but I can't get this utility to root my phone. It just shoots through all the stuff faster than I can blink and then tells me to move on to the next step. (But it doesn't root my device.)

I am starting from stock, using option 1, and had never used and of the CWM or Safestrap, etc. on this device.

Do you have any tips or pointers on what I might be doing wrong? I also tried using an alternate root method that DOES work (I know, it deviates from the directions. lol) then started back with your step and everything goes smoothly up until I try to restore root after the ICS install. I get a current binary version = legacy error and the only thing that gets granted SU permissions is the Voodoo Rootkeeper. :/ I've tried this 4 times so far and I always get the same result.

Help? I've rooted other devices and I'm not tech-stupid, but this one is just stumping me!

Thanks! And thanks for giving this to us. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
so what files do you need? not ICS and not the sbf and not RSDLite?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
well if youre using option 1 to root, you arent reading the menu. read it again. if you can't get let me know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Did you update the SU binaries in SuperUser (again after rooting ICS)? I also had to allow Titanium to make a change and reboot my phone after that. So far no issues for me accept I can't get adb to work. The drivers aren't installing correctly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] a.leah86:
No, I'm using option 1 to restore back to .173 so I can start over. I've done a restore with option 1 and I also tried using RSD Lite with no difference. And option 2 doesn't work for me after that. I get an "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file" error.

(right now I am at stock .173 before trying to root again. If I try rooting through a different utility then it works and my device is rooted.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

Yes. The very first time I tried this when I did it last night I DID miss that step and I thought that was my problem, but even when I do that it doesn't work. My screens match with the video EXACTLY until I try and restore root.

Although, just to clarify, in the directions it says to restore root via Voodoo, THEN update the binaries. Are you asking if I updated the binaries first and then tried restoring root? Because I didn't do it in that order.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
No, you do need to follow the directions and restore root with Voodoo. If you made it all the way to ICS and now you're starting over, you're going to need to sbf(option 9) then move on to option 2. Some other people had issues with the adb commands and I'm pretty sure the issue was resolved by moving all of the files to the C: drive. If they're on the desktop or some other location, it wont work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
What was suggested to me by aktrazr is to move ADB files to where you installer.bat is located like this

I did it this way because I was getting the same message "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command".
[Motorola Droid RAZR] a.leah86:
Hmm, ok. If I am at stock now would you recommend I still restore via RSD Lite? I have all my files on the C: drive already. (so the path is C:/ICSInstallerv1.1/then the .bat file and 3 folders.) Should I move the .bat file and folders directly to the C drive instead of the way I have it?

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Thank you for the pictures! That helps a lot! (I'm a visual person.) I'll try it again with the files moved!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
You can try it as is, but several of us had problems installing ICS after we had performed some portion of the program and started over. The results have shown that doing an SBF instead of option 1 has helped us complete it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
I would restore using RSDLite as I had a lot of trouble just trying to do Option 1.

Those files are located in the "files" folder.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] a.leah86:
I managed to root successfully via option 2. I'm installing ICS now. My other problem was restoring the root so I'm crossing my fingers that it'll work. If it doesn't I will SBF back to .173 and try again.

I think that if it doesn't work THAT time either then I might just give up for now. Haha I think I've been working with this for a combined 9 hours between downloading the initial files and then trying to get it to work! >_< (I started last night and downloading the files was a nightmare. My internet is not the best.)

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Well guys, cross your fingers for me? Haha I'm installing ICS now and if I can preserve root after then I will finally have been successful. Thanks so much for all the help! I feel like a bit of an idiot, but I suppose we all have to have our moments, right? ^_^
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
Let me know how it goes, even with streamlining thing as much as I could there is still room for user error. I've gotten ahead of myself while testing multiple times and screwed it up. GOOD LUCK!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
yeah the reason for this is because, Voodoo saves a su-backup. if you update the binaries and then use voodoo you're going to overwrite what you just updated. by restoring root then updating, you restore with the backup then update those to the proper version.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] a.leah86:
Haha and 9/10 times it's user error causing the problem.

But... IT WORKED! Yay! I spent all day with an awkward half root. (it was weird. Superuser and all, and Voodoo was granted SU permissions, but nothing else was.)

Thank you so much for providing this for us and again, everyone else here for helping me out. Thank you!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Glad you got it working. I've never been a huge Blur fan but it's not overwhelming in ICS and I'm digging the swipe feature in the Email app.

If anybody wants stock tethering, there's a video on youtube that shows a simple hack using sqlite editor. I just did it and it works great. I can send the link if needed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
Send it my way please!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
i used this same method. worked like a charm!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mentalchaos03:
Any chance of getting this to work with Ubuntu?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
absolutely... once we get an unlocked bootloader
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
ok so i did your utility to get back to 173 and followed all the prompts this time and i retained my root the only issue i am having now is i go from full reception to 1 bar when i make calls other than that i like it very much also is there or is there not facial recognition if so where do i find it ty in advance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
It's in security.

It doesn't appear to work though. Don't worry, you're not missing much. I used it on my Nexus for about 5 minutes before getting fed up with it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
you have to set it to actually lock when the screen closes otherwise it just wants the slider.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Ok, I see now. It does work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ManOnTheMoon:
is there a mirror for the download. its going so slow..........
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
question

It took me 11 hours to download the icsinstaller last night, I then used winrar to extract the files, however I was only able to extract the "fastboot" folder and the "files" folder. Winrar gave me some kind of error message...So, I downloaded the icsinstaller again, lol another 11 hrs. Used winrar again and got the same results. I then tried winzip to extract the files, again same results. This is an older computer running windows XP and I'm dsl lite very slow connection. Does anyone have ideas as why this happening?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Try opening the file (without extracting) to make sure everything is there. If it is, download 7 Zip. Powerful tool and it's free.

You might consider downloading from your phone if you have unlimited data and transferring it over.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sticks147:
Good work

Just like to say I appreciate all the hard work you guys do :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
Thanks, I believe I'm losing something during download. I'm going to try downloading again from a faster connection. This is the message I get when using 7zip. CRC failed in 'ICSInstallerv1.1\files\system.img'. File is broken.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
Should have tested more thoroughly!!!!!

I screwed up (this stuff happens) I wasnt getting the ADB problems, because I have ADB on my path on every computer I own. soooooooo I want to formally apologize to anyone that was pulling their hair out over the root method not working. I didnt occur to me until this morning what could be going wrong. Please forgive me!

edit: added a patch1.2 to the OP
[Motorola Droid RAZR] darkmana:
I don't mean to be demanding but are you planning on updating this method to the 6.14.84 update that has leaked?

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/27/new-razr-ice-cream-sandwich-leaks-as-build-6-14-84/#more-68089

If so you would be even more awesome than you already are.

Been using this successfully for a few weeks now. Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
script has already been updated and the zip is downloading now so i can test it.

should be out as soon as it works on my personal phone and i get the utility uploaded. I will probably create a patch in addition to the standalone utility.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
Lol....right when i get this installed a new leak pops up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
I rewrote the installer to make it easy to:

- backup everything

- revert to .173

- root

- OTA to .181 /w root

- upgrade to new leak /w root

I'm testing it on my personal phone now.

Should be ready in an hour.

There will be a patch and new standalone ICS Installer v1.2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheLoonyRebel:
Thanks Rouxe41 for everything! You are really amazing with your installer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
Thanks man....I will give this a go in a bit. Loving ics on my raxr so far.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] boxermansr:
talk of a .85 update coming down the pipeline over at droidrzr.com (not ota, but another leaked one)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
we'll see if I can get that soon, but for now .84 will be uploaded tonight.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
.84 is included with the latest utility the rar is uploading to my google drive but there is a torrent! dont forget to seed!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Infoclast:
Would there be any issues if I replaced the crc/zip files in 1.1 with the newest build?

Edit: Worked just fine. Try it out if you want to avoid downloading another 3 GBs, just make sure you rename the files and replace the old ones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ManOnTheMoon:
lol so get this. just got my name razr. wanted to download this so i devoted about 2 hours of my time to download the earlier build today as soon as i rsd to .173 i see the new build got released today and a new installer was put up. devoted ANOTHER 2 hours of my time to download. finally after this news of not being able to get down to .173 im just flashing the 1.1 version. smh...smh
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Seancc:
It's look like a great tool for GB -> ICS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
I have removed the links because as of right now we were lied to about the amount of testing done before these were posted. If the .84 ICS leak is installed in any way shape or form, you will not be able to revert back to get back on the correct build path when ICS is official. Two of the admins arcanexvi and DirtyDroidX claimed to have tested it personally and hadn't. Please do not use the new ICS leak. the old one is fine as we are able to go back and forth. The most logical thing to fix this in my mind is for a .181 fastboot file to be released. We can only wait for a fix at this point.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ManOnTheMoon:
no i know. its not your fault. im just saying. these reasons are why i love flashing and love android. its these cliffhangers and unique and alternative ways of getting your phone up and running again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
Maybe the .84 ICS build had reverting issues thats why moto release .85 right after quickly. Probably a build error, but then again im not a dev.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
lol....Lucky me. I was waiting on my phone to charge before flashing the "new leak". Had all the files downloaded, was back on 181, and had my root backed up. Yeah, then I read where the @#^& hit the fan.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ManOnTheMoon:
the thing is tho, i folllow all the steps and after it reverts it back to .173 like the cmd promt, my phone goes into the dual core boot logo and an exclamation point after that......i restart it and its just magically .173......but when i try and get ics on it same exclamation point but no ics...i have been flashing things for years nowww i still am lost....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
Same thing happened to me the first trying to install ics...I believe it was because I didn't have install unknown apps checked.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I had the exact same issue the first time I installed ICS. I had used option 1 instead of SBF wipe. Run RSD Lite and try again. It should work the 2nd time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
could someone please post the 1.1 installer with the old ics leak? thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ManOnTheMoon:
would you say the ics leak on the razr is great? i mean i have a bionic and i have one of aosp's on it and there was no data drops or anything. it was pretty smooth. i seen screenshots of ics on razr and it looks good but i feel like its going to be the same exact as what i had on bionic. id say i have been using ics on multiple devices for about 80% of the time. ever since like november. I just feel like ics is cool but idkkkk. Maybe the ics on razr is better, cuz its not a dev build. plus it has motoblur which i enjoy. any issues so far with ics?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Its awesome no issues as of yet
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
are you talking about 1.1?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tburch82:
I had the bionic with one of the aosp's on it also, I cant remember but I don't think hardware acceleration was working as it was not built for that particular device. But, the razr leak is pretty solid, only thing I've noticed was swype is kinda buggy and I didn't receive a slide show. So, there could be a issue with sms/mms. My bionic was awful about not receiving messages.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] duchski:
Buddy,

Any chance of converting this update to CWM zip?

Atrix 4G

jokersax CM9
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
I've put the files back up but please be warned you are using this at your own risk. I suggest going to .173 and using that version of the ICS leak
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Yes the only issue i am having is losing bars as soon as i make a call it don't drop calls i just go from full reception to one bar on every call and Verizon's cell tower is only a 100 yards away from me and yes i will stay with the 1.1 till dude can get the 1.2 version good
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
If the tower is that close by probably you are affected by an umbrella effect.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 17akota:
How many people were actually able to go back to .173?

Anyone have a rough idea when the .181 files will be out? Or are they out and i'm missing them. :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
But i never had that issue till i did the ics utility
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
As far as i know the 181 will not let you revert back to stock yet so if u do it and the official ics came out tomorrow you would be hosed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 17akota:
Damn :/

Lol. The chances of ICS being released tomorrow are about 0%. XD

Here's another .181 fastboot files link :

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Djspinister:
HAHA not one link works. Good job
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 17akota:
lol. wtf? I just downloaded from them :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] facinater:
Links dont work for me either. :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Don't use them anyway use the 1.1 cause the 1.2 will not let u convert back to stock when the official ics comes out let him get it working right
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
This is way off beat but can anyone in here have a link to help me root my mothers htc droid incredible
