Well.. there is an option "this would be an attempt at your own risk kinda thing.."

Just a thought and this tool is for the XOOM but you could try xxLordAIOxx root utility in the XOOM forum it roots ICS skip all the XOOM related stuff, but would recommend you tell it is XOOM and not another device! Just use the root tool and when it asks if the boot loader is unlocked just say it is "tho it isn't" to skip that part! It should install an earlier version of cwm unless its been updated it uses the same method as most for getting su and it works with ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4

Now I can't guarantee it will work! And I don't think it will hurt if it doesn't! If I were stuck in your shoes.. I would probably try it.. its a good tool all around and has a lot of potential there is a windows and Linux version.. the Linux is more up to date.. but the windows one is probably your best choice!

-if for some reason you try this please post results or any problems! I'm curious...

Ok, sounds good. Im working a four day 12 hour shift, so i may not get to this right away. My battery life doesnt seem to be that great after jumping to ICS and Ive had one random reboot after three days of use. So hopefully this will allow root so i can shutdown some services and li.e some crap out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
If this tool tries to install CWM it will fail. Not only because it would attempt to install a versions specific for the Xoom on a Razr, but because we have a locked bootloader and our recovery can't be overridden. That's why we use Bootstrap to hijack recovery. Unless this tool can be ran to root only, I'd advise against using it.

I'm not a developer so this is just my opinion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mcnabb311:
I guess it wont hurt to try tho right? There are a few other root methods in the developers forum. I may try the simple root first. Theres the other cdma ICS root too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moksha51:
I have installed safestrap before. But I removed it.

Can we use option 1 in the tool which returns to .173 and then proceed with your instructions?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ali87va:
No go

Wiping data and doing factory reset will not do anything,I've already tried it 0_____0
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
I just flashed the leak thru stock recovery over 181. Got a boot loop and error after the first flash. I watched the boot loop and held volume buttons to get back into recovery. Then I wiped data and cache which I did not do the first flash. Flashed the same update that I put on the sdext prior to all this a second time and it updated perfectly. No issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Uedoxia:
hey...great utility but keep getting same error msgs...

First I wanted to say thanks for making this awesome easy way to get ICS. but this is my fourth time trying to use it and I keep getting error msgs saying. " THE SYSTEM CAN'T FIND PATH SPECIFIED"!!!,

I keep trying and trying and I'm going crazy!

See I'm starting from menu 7 cause I am already rooted and coming from 6.12.181 and I basic ly have everything already installed ..even voodoo root keeper and I must be doing something wrong but have no idea what????

I would really appreciate any light on this problem I'm having and what it means and or what I need to fix it??

Thanks

Uedoxia
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moksha51:
is there a way to get out of this version? Back to GB? My phone doesn't seem to charge.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
If you are. 84 no if ur on. 75 yes follow the rsd instructions
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Uedoxia:
Lost my root!! "help please"

Hi..first off thanks so much Rouxe41 for making this awesome easiest possible way to finally get ICS and as soon as i am able to donate something i will cause you really do deserve it.

I have been trying to use this for a week now on my rooted 181 but it was not working and kept getting error msg saying "path not specified" then i came back to go through all the posts again and finally saw that it didnt work on my version.

So i said fine ill go back to 173 then and see if thats the problem and it was.

I went back with no problems..infact i did everything with absolutely no problems cause your tool absolutely kicks ass and if you follow all the directions it does everything its suppose to...but when i had to re-root the phone something must have went wrong cause when i was done with my i.c.s. install which was soo:cool:..and went back in to restore my root..i noticed it was telling me i was being denied su permissions and tried everything to get it back and even did those emulator commands but still no go.:(

I even went to the superuser download page to update that but noticed it was the same version i already have.

I have been hearing alot of horror stories about getting root again after the update but i really dont know what to do except start digging around to see whats up with that. I have also been having some internet connection problems lately too and that keeps me from being able to stay online for long periods at times. "they're suppose to be coming to fix it tomorrow though and thats why sometimes my times online are very limited thanks to good old comcast. Anyway..since i was already rooted and had voodoo root keeper already installed on my phone before the ics update where is it and why cant i find it??? :confused:

If anybody knows how to help..i would really appreciate it please.

Other than that..i have absolutely no complaints and your little tool rocks.

Thanks again

Ps...i also want to tell you all that for some reason none of my thanks ever show up and i know i always try to hit the thanks meter but for some reason they never show??:confused:

6.14.84 freezing

Since installing the .84 the phone just freezes a few times a day,

The only thing i can do i reboot by pressing all buttons vol and power,

Did anyone see that one?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
I have seen no issues at all with mine and i could not tell ya any suggestions at all sorry

Maybe its a app that is causing it try deleting any recent apps u have downloaded i have had that issue before
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
So i hear that there is another leak out. 4.0.4 and i am hearing great things about if anyone has this leak let me know
[Motorola Droid RAZR] swomack:
I just wanted to say thank you for this. I read up to page 29, got tired of waiting and said screw it. I was on Droidtheory's Axiom Kang ROM for ICS and read that I couldn't use this method. But, since I could not get RSD Lite to work, I went ahead and did the Fastboot method. It copied the files just fine. However, at reboot, I got a triangle.

So, I pressed the Power + Vol+ button, and selected reboot now, and it booted to the desktop just fine.

Everything was easy peezy until I tried to restore through Titanium backup, where it told me that something was wrong with the SU file and asked to repair it. I told it to go ahead and I am steadily on my way to restoring all of my apps. Many THANKS!:)

I was tired of not have all of the ICS features and not being able to have hardware acceleration or video on the previous ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mcnabb311:
I too would love to get off of this release. Ive had nothing but problems since installing it. My phone will randomly turn off or reboot, the rear speaker will just not work from time to time, my 4g LTE is now an unreliable and erratic connection when it worked just fine before.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] swomack:
My phone hasn't rebooted once own it's own accord since I've done this ROM. I've only lost 4G when I've been in a stairwell or basement.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kblgy:
problem here, so i went back to stock, everything seemed to be working fine but now it seems i have no 4g lte, not even in a 4g lte area
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MyEntityRemains:
This is the problem with unofficial updates! Patience is a virtue. If you wait for the official ICS update, Big Red and/or Moto will honor your warranty, should you need it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dianathaxton:
Can someone tell me if this rom is deodexed? please...:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jaredakelly:
this tool works perfectly. thanks given!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
Im doing it now and so far seems to be working. Make sure usb debugging is enabled. Plug phone usb to computer. Make sure to set as charge only.

I followed the menu of the app.

1.restore to .173

2.root

3.unroot

4.install voodoo root keeper

5.install ics

6.wipe data/cache

7.system pull

I first used option 2. to root

I then used option 4. installed voodoo root keeper

Then option 5. install ICS

I am in the process of installing ICS

Did this the hard way and now trying this. So far seems great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] darkmana:
I did the same thing but it doesn't seem to be taking the ICS install. I have root because Voodoo and Superuser are now in my list of apps. I read another post that said your sdcard needs to be named /sdcard-ext. I didn't change any file names first so maybe this is the issue? I also didn't wipe the phone first which I can still do. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
lol yeah me too so it seems. Gonna retry. Had it when I did the long way then went to stock and now trying again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] darkmana:
Hmm, well it won't boot into recovery like it is supposed to after downloading. Not sure what I'm missing here. Let me know if you come up with anything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
Well after the third time it worked. I rsd back to .744 and updated all the way to .173. Root , update superuser, voodoo root keeper, install ics.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
Tried this but still cant get root. Oh well not gonna redo right now for this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] darkmana:
So you got ICS on but can't get root back? I'll mess with it some more when I get off of work today. I tried updating SU last night as well using the terminal emulator but not sure if it took.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueis300:
That didnt work for me either. I went back and forth installing ,uninstalling. Said I had root but didnt. Gonna do a re install now. If it doesnt keep root no big deal. Just need my phone up after tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] facinater:
What does this have to do with a Motorola RAZR???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] darkmana:
I did this and finally got ICS on my phone. Something happened when I downloaded the RAR file from google docs and it was saying the MotoBlur 176.... file didn't exist. I deleted from my desktop, redownloaded and everything worked fine. I did:

Option 1

Option 2

Option 4

Option 5

Voila! ICS

Unfortunately I didn't do this and no longer have root but I can live with it for now. Loving ICS. Thanks for the installer OP, works great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
So if I understand correct, I should boot up the phone after installing Voodoo. Update SU then actually run Voodoo to preserve root, then plug my phone back in and proceed to install ICS?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
I'm on .173 but have cwm and bootstrap. Is there any harm in running option 1 to go back to .173 so I have a clean slate?

Edit: never mind. Saw answer deeper in your post
[Motorola Droid RAZR] roxylove:
I'm trying option 5, to install ICS. It has been on "daemon started successfully" for quite some time. Does this normally take this long to change? Phone is still on, fully functional too.

EDIT: After reinstalling drivers, I think I have it going. Now says "Pushing ICS Files.."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Florestan2:
Good write up, thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
Worked like a charm although I had to manually restore SU despite updating the binary prior to voodoo. Only thing not working now is set CPU.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattfox27:
Ya i can't get this to install, everything looks good on the install but when it reboots no ICS. I changed my sdcard names and im rooted with voodoo protection no bueno???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
Can i just install the ics. On top of a custom rom

I have cwm bootstrap installed

Its a .173 based rom

It looks like i could skip a couple steps

sent from a locked bootloader... motoFAIL

PS....should i remove my SD card??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] roxylove:
wow - awesome! works perfectly!

Any chance this will be updated to 4.0.4?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
i just did a full wipe and restore...had to leave the sd card in for ICS to install...i hope i didn't loose any data

ICS is installing now...hope its smooth
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bgouvea:
This is only for CDMA RAZR, right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nancypantz:
Thanks for making this easy. Took about an 1.5-2 hours to install (after download). been running since 11 ish with no problems yet. A bit of a shame to see a few features most other phones have have not been added.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
nila...ur da man!!!! and the OP!!!!

worked like a charm on my verizon razr....have root and everything
[Motorola Droid RAZR] painandpleasure:
Worked great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Same here. It just reboots back into GB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] slobeatz:
I had the same problem the first time I tried to update. I was on a stock version of .173, but froze a couple apps in the past, and had installed, then uninstalled, razrbootstrap before the .173 update. Ended up re-installing .173, then rooted, added rootkeeper, and upgraded to ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrlooly:
I updated to. 181 on soak test and dont think its worth it.

I want to do the ics leak but my computer wont detect my phone any longer. Cant use the installer or rsd lite.

Any ideas
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Ok. Flashed back to 744 and I'm taking the 173 OTA. I have root saved with rootkeeper. Before you guys are flashing the ICS leak, are you temp unrooting? I'm seeing various answers here on this. I'm thinking that might be my issue. I'm not temp unrooting.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
I did not temp unrooted, but still had to get root back via terminal emulator. Worked fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
EDIT:

Nevermind, got it :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrlooly:
Can someone tell me why WiFi keeps turning itself back on?

EDIT: nvm. its a feature..and it finally let me know how to turn it off

everything installed perfectly.. also rooted
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
I had that same issue with two different windows 7 machines.. happened randomly.. 2 totally different setups...mind you this was with a photon

Its a driver issue within windows

Hate to say it..but coming from a a+ plus tech...the only way i get it working again was with a fresh windows install....

Time to start fresh
[Motorola Droid RAZR] josegt:
I did it thanks only one problem my battery life sucks with ICS its saying in setting under battery my screen is using 70% of my battery and only getting 6 hours maxx pun intended
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
is your brightness set to auto?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
Which governor do you think had better battery life? Hot plug or on demand?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mendra72:
Just performed the install - all went well except Titanium backup says it cannot procure root privileges. However Voodoo and Su app both report the device as rooted... no matter I like it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SSMay:
Did you follow instructions....about using a terminal emulation program? The quite a few posts about it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rooted Dinc:
This worked for me. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] roxylove:
Any idea why the ics music controls on the lockscreen sometimes show up and sometimes don't? Its pretty random when they do...have used stock music, Google music and tunein.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jakubx80:
Can you please tell me how to turn this "feature"off? It is driving me nuts :banghead:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jakubx80:
I updated to.181 during soak as well. This update is still a mystery to me of what it actually does. Anyway...

Try reinstalling Moto drivers. It worked for me, restored to .173 and then upgraded to ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mendra72:
Performed the terminal emulation procedure - Root is good now. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gimpeh:
Anyone else have this issue, changing the vmheap size causing bootloop?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Schnider:
Just did this a couple of hours ago and it worked AWESOME!! Big thanks to the OP
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
I tried going back to .173 from ics, both with this tool. I'm stuck on the logo at boot up.

Help please. I read some where I may need a previous version of Fastboot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] borisgraovac:
RSD Lite & stock ROM should help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddfuji:
it worked like a charm :) very much appreciated OP.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scotja50:
Hey, so Im new to XDA and Flashing motorola phone I have the XT910 and am on GSM rogers all stock how do I flash to a Stable version OF ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Hey Mistawolfe, good to see you in here. Did you get ICS up & running?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Death Roe:
So this WILL work for a stock, non-rooted RAZR, correct? Just want to make sure before I attempt this!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
new utility is out tomorrow, i would just wait till then. you will have to root before you can install ICS though. everything can be done with the utility
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
also, it has much better instructions. i rewrote every section and added new tools.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
will this work on 181

will this work on the new update 181?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
i havent tested it yet, but it should. i will test tomorrow. the utility takes you to .173 then installs
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bigdaddybesbris:
Any ETA on the upload? I'm anxiously awaiting! Picking up a MAXX tomorrow. Leaving my Nexus behind.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
it took all night for that file to upload, but it is out now and works much better. if you follow the instructions in the utility you will retain root and be upgraded to ICS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] polecat409:
So has anyone tried to install ICS from .181 yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
i have read that you must be on .173
[Motorola Droid RAZR] polecat409:
That's what I've been reading also, but I was curious if anyone has actually tried it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teddykgb715:
Does data actually work on this ICS? I tried a few ICS roms and my data crapped out permanently until I rolled back to 173.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
i get great speeds on 3g and 4g. i will not be rolling back until the official release.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teddykgb715:
Guess I'll give it a shot tonight! I love ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
What exactly is the difference between v1.0 and v1.1 ? It looks like the the only thing that was added to this first post was the date in the very beginning.

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
Updated:

the root exploit to use latest Superuser.apk and su bin

the process to install ICS

style and layout of utility for usability

full instructions to fix your phone if you do something wrong

added the full 6.12.173 fastboot file

added RSDLite installer with instructions for use(just in case)

added instructions to retain root through ICS install (has worked 100%)

- no terminal app needed

Overall I feel it is much easier to follow, and much harder to screw something up. I just gave it to someone that has no idea what they are doing and they were able to gain root, preserve root, install ICS and regain root access. It is pretty much fool proof
[Motorola Droid RAZR] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Unfortunately, i used v1.0, which worked without issue. I downloaded and unzipped v1.0 in the AM and then i had a meeting to go to. When i got back i started the Utility and while i was waiting, i refreshed your thread and seen that it was updated. But, it was too late with no where to stop, but all went very well!

I honestly think that it can't get any easier....

Thanks for building this Utility!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Can this be done on the 181 update
[Motorola Droid RAZR] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Actually, i have (1) issue, which really doesn't have anything to do with this Utility Installer : When i go into Play, all my purchased apps are coming up as not purchased. Anyone else having this issue and/or a fix? This happen to me a while ago, but on another device and i cant recall what the problem was or how i fixed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this had already come up...

Thanks in advance!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kblgy:
hi, i know this has most likely been answered already but , if i use this ,will i still be able to get the original when it comes out? and if so how?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
If you use this utility today, and official ICS decides to come out next week, all you do is use option 1 or option 9 (depending on how it goes) to revert back to 6.12.173, then you would most likely update to .181 then ICS
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
if you DL the new one you'll see I actually made it a lot easier. Your grandma could update to ICS now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dimitri407:
Just tried your tool and it failed on Step one. Had to use the Droid Razr Utility 1.41 to get back to .173. Then used your app for the rest and everything went fine until step 5 when your app tried to create a directory on my sdcard-ext and had permissions denied. Then everything just bombed from there.

Nevermind. Step 5 needs to be in Charge Only mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
I see what happened, most likely my util probably didnt wait for this stuff to happen. damn i will update it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
I have released a patched .bat file in the OP.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Could I get u to help me get back to 173 so I can do this on my phone I am far from tech savvy
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
just download the Motorola driver from the first post and the utility from the first post.

everything you need is in there and it is very easy to use.

any specific questions, just PM me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mike_augie:
Just asking .. I downloaded the version 1.1 early this am. so do i use the .bat first or just use the version 1.1 and at some point i will know when to use it ? sorry if this is a stupid question , just want to be sure before I brick it .. thx in advance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
How bout the Market issue with purchased apps showing not purchased?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
i dont know what youre asking, but im gonna try to answer.

download the patch and replace the old ICSInstaller.bat file with the patch file. then run it. optikn 1 doesnt work everytime in the old one
[Motorola Droid RAZR] slvrbul:
Will this work on the new 181 update or just 173 !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
I have heard that it only works with .173 not .181

edit: holy **** ive been looking at a screen for too long
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rouxe41:
also, I did not have my test device with me today so i could not experiment with it. I will have more info on .181 and ICS tomorrow
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teddykgb715:
The process worked great for me.

Question though, bootstrap won't install recovery now. Is this for a reason?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wdphoto:
help

just looking for some possible help. i downloaded and unzipped the ICS installer 1.1, and replaced the icsinstaller patch. i double click it and it opens a window that appears like the OP image but shuts immediatly.

add: also Matts Razr Utility 1.42 opens and works fine. I just fastboot back to .173. I also downloaded Matts newer utility but it does the same thing to me as ICS installer. Running Windows 7
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Quick question do I need any special apps on my phone before I do this
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JetFixxxer:
I'm running .181, I'm rooted, never installed CWM, safestrap, bootstrap and I'm trying to revert back to .173 with the utility.
