I apologize is the version 4.0.2.A.0.62

I'm back in the game.

So it got to change my build.prop, to update my ROM version SK17a generic trade Latin American 4.0.2.A.0.62 and generic trade US 4.0.2.A.0.62, official Through The SEUS or PC Companion when necessary to receive ICS.

Then You have to change the file permissions as FOLLOWS

X X 0

X 0 0

X 0 0

The boxes are selected X and 0 are not to be selected, and Then restart the Android.

you connect to the PC companion and tell you That there is a firmware upgrade available, and return to the generic SK17a stock 4.0.2.A.0.69 version.

Now you must pass the build.prop files (which you set) to the SD Card and using the root-explorer, copy file, after you log into the system folder and paste.

Just got the OTA notification for .181. I am not on the soak test, just a normal user.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maestro53:
Update fails

I noticed that the .181 OTA update was available and decided to download and apply it. Alas, there is no joy in mudville. My (rooted) Razr Maxx reboots and gets about 25% into the process before stalling. It then reboots and announces that the update has failed. :(

Help anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stolirocks:
Did you remove any stock apps? Mine worked fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] asiandrg0n:
The Soak test is over. And their pushing the update out to everyone now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Eu or US?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] asiandrg0n:
Its for the US Verizon Droid Razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] krazie1:
I can confirm that the .181 update is rolling out to every droid maxx user in the US. I live in California and i just received the update when i went to check for "System Update"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
Exact same thing here... completely stock/rooted. I had frozen some apps and deleted others. I defrost the frozen apps and restored the deleted apps. Still not working. Ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
okay any improvments?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamRwoo:
It's live as of 6:30am in good 'ole SC.

Use mattlgroff's Utility to "Keep root through OTA" although at least one person has reported not needing to use that...supposedly the tool worked just fine to root .181, but that gamble is up to you. ;-)

tCizler & maestro53 - I am new to the RAZR, just got mine yesterday, actually...but you haven't mentioned anything about recoveries...if you're running safestrap, etc. I imagine you will have to restore to stock before the update will work.

But a more informed individual is free to give me a slap upside the head. :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] talon95:
Well I'm 100% stock, no root. Installed the update. Got a message that it failed, but it shows 6.12.181.XT9212. So I'm not sure what I ended up with??? Anybody else have this happen??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
I appreciate the suggestions, but like I said I'm stock/rooted. I have done nothing but freeze/defrost and delete/restore apps. Although I did buy it used on eBay, so I can't say for sure what was done with it prior. But there are 4 other people at work with RAZRs. 3 maxxs and one regular. Only one maxx accepted the update. All 4 are stock/rooted
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamRwoo:
Hmm. Again, take this with a grain of salt, as I am new to the phone, and this is most likely an extreme option...

You could backup your data/apps using the program of your choice (I've found ROM Toolbox to be the best) and then use DRU 1.51 to "sbf" restore to .173.

That's what I did, as I got the phone from a friend who had ICS/safestrap and all sorts of stuff done to it and something in there made my 4G not work so I wanted to start fresh.

That being said, I am only just now about to attempt the update, so I'm putting my foot in a position such that it might be quickly inserted into my mouth, if necessary. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Just got mine. Warner Robins GA.

Also if you have after market recovery it won't install.

I was rooted .173 and took the update. I didn't unroot. Installed correctly and restored root w root keeper. Very nice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stonyman72:
Went through without a hitch here in monroe Michigan stock rooted and also kept root without backing up still looking for the changes but otherwise working great.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
I thought about that too, but its a pain. Maybe as a complete last resort. Thanks for the suggestions
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
. 181 makes everything thing faster and it really seems alot smoother. Also root methods for.173 work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamRwoo:
I might be insane from staying up all night, but I coulda swore I saw (either on here or on droidrzr) a "rebloating" script that essentially went through and made sure any such changes would be undone.

And cmon, it's not that bad. :P The restart will be good for ya, get rid of some of those apps you think you need but really don't. ;-)

Anyway...I went ahead and applied the update on stock/unrooted .173, then used DRU 1.51's GB Root option and it completed successfully, Superuser is on my phone and all seems dandy. :D

So if you're running stock/unrooted .173 it's CONFIRMED that you do NOT need to root and then use Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper app to make sure you'll have root in .181. However, if you're already rooted, I'm not sure what happens.

If I understand correctly how Voodoo works, you may need to use Voodoo in order for the update to complete successfully. tCizler, have you tried that?

Now I just gotta figure out what I'm gonna do from here haha...With this update, will I be unable to install most ROMs or should this have no effect on that?

EDIT:

tCizler...I realize I'm firing shots in the dark here, but you may wish to check out this thread. My apologies if it doesn't apply.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Nice hope to see the update in EU to
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Could someone drop the update? Or at least check sum against the leak
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
Thanks for the link. I checked it out just in case and i don't have any safestrap/bootstrap files. Or the logwrapper.bin.

But, what do you mean by using Voodoo for the update? I have voodoo root keeper and i have SU backed up. What is it that you are suggesting, i'll try anything first, before i flash back to bone stock
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamRwoo:
Again, I could be talking completely out my ass here, but...

I thought that Voodoo "hid" the root/superuser so that the update could install, and then you "reapplied" the "hidden" root after the OTA was complete.

Regardless, have you tried using DRU 1.51 to unroot your phone, then apply the OTA update, then use DRU to root your phone again? I had no problems rooting .181 using the same utility.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
Thanks again for the suggestion, just tried this and no luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Western NY here- update was there for me when I woke up this morning. Installed, no incident.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rushless:
I have the Razr thin and updated.

Already have Voodoo backup of root

Unfroze stock apps

Installed update (took twenty minutes from download to update)

Restored root with Voodoo

Refroze some stock apps

Update went well, but STILL have data drops.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamRwoo:
Okay, this is really silly, but until I can ponder better ideas...have you wiped your cache since defrosting/etc? And are you SURE you defrosted/reinstalled everything?

To get into stock recovery, hold Power and Volume Down until the screen turns off, then quickly switch from the power button to Volume Up (still holding Volume Down)...click Recovery (Volume + selects, Volume - scrolls) then when you see the ! in the triangle, click both volume buttons at once. Select wipe cache, then reboot.

I have no proof that this would help at all, but hell...wiping caches seems to be a universal "did you try ____?" so I thought I'd throw it out there.

You were running completely stock .173? No custom radio updates or any such craziness? I know these are all simple questions, but I find it's usually the simple stuff that gets us.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WOLF26915:
I Updated no issues

I have non rooted Razr and I update it with no issues. Everything works great no issues at all
[Motorola Droid RAZR] subsynth:
I am stock rooted, nothing removed, nothing frozen.

I tried Voodoo OTA protect root > temp unroot and it has failed twice.

I am trying DRU remove root and uninstalling root apps to see if it works....

Still get update failed. So now I am unrooted and I still can't update.

Perhaps I tweaked my build prop and that's what's causing it?

Thoughts?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jamRwoo:
I knew I wasn't crazy...

"So Your OTA failed? Read this." --from droidrzr.com
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sexywacko:
I know its a pain but couldnt you just reflash your sbf file? And then update it again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quarky42:
A tweaked build.prop file could do it depending on what was changed. There are some version checks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scott021467:
Just took the ota. Temp unrooted with voodoo and installed. Went without a hitch. Restored root when phone rebooted and all is good on .181 and message confirmed install successful. Still test driving.

Oh I was rooted on stock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] subsynth:
does anyone have a stock 6.12.173 build.prop?

I found an old link here on xda but it was for megaupload.

thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robertiv:
+1 successful OTA

I just received the update this morning, too. I was running stock 6.12.173 rooted. I had thawed all frozen system apps prior to accepting the update. Voodoo Rootkeeper kept and restored root. Now the wait for (official) ICS begins...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Thanks for the note!

I updated to 1.8.1. Things feel faster, but could be just because of any reboot will make the phone looks faster.

Just a note that the update process was very slow around 70%, then after a while, it suddenly completes and boot into phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] slvrbul:
Since updating to 181 I can no longer get Safestrap to enable to install roms I keep getting an error !!! Anyone else have this problem !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
After upgrade, my radio is significantly worse.

Am I Alone on this??? Or it just happened with another Verizon 4G network hiccup?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
Finally got mine working. I tried the preinstall files, then the apk and odexed files and while they were copying, i got a motorola.prcesses.failure force close and went into boot looping. At that point i was forced to use the DRUtility to flash back to .173, and then the update was accepted right away. So i lost everything because i thought, what harm could copying files do? well i found out. oh well.

To the previous poster. How much worse are your radios? One of the items in the changelog was more accurate 4G signal rendering. Maybe you are just seeing fewer bars with the same actual signal. It didn't say anything about different radios, just different readings. But on a side note, my phone was laying on my desk and when i unlocked the screen, it said 3g. But after about 15 seconds it went to 4g. I may just have some power saver setting turned on that i don't know about. But usually i never see 3g at my desk
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Thanks for the note.

My phone stuck at 3G at the exactly the same location on my desk for very long time.

Now it turns to 4G, but no connectivity (meaning you see only the "upbar" is highlighted suggesting data traffic but down bar is not)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tCizler:
Also something to consider... Yesterday, with 3 bars of 4G, my signal strength was -86dBm, which i thought was pretty good. Now after the update, i only have 2 bars while occasionally jumping to 3 bars for a second or two, however i have -71dBm signal strength. So my signal is actually much stronger but reads worse... take it how you will
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
Thanks. I never care about the bar reading when I use my phone.

So it is all from experience (surfing/downloading etc)

And now I report significant worse radio signal after upgrade.

It is just SO BAD that at the same place/same time, it can't hold even 3G now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FReQ Z:
Failed here. Stock ROM, unrooted through the Voodoo app. I'll try to go back to pure stock when I get home tonight.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] james:
.181

i am rooted stcok used voodoo rootkeeper protected root updated no problem went back to voodoo rootkeeper and clicked root and i have no problem now that we have this update how long before we get us some ics
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blcklab:
I think my radio is better. Not based on bars but checking signal strength.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Any improvments of the wifi signal strengh?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
When you update OTA do you have to defrost your bloatware? I thought you did and had to re freeze all of it.

Sent from my DROID RAZR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] da_truth540:
My wifi at home seems to be consistently 1-2 bars stronger. Cellular coverage at my house is very good so I can't determine if that's any better yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IdowhatIwant:
Yes. and it might still fail, in which case you will have to RSD back to .173 so there no DETECTABLE changes that the update will see. there is some kind of audit that these updates do, and if everything isn't EXACTLY how it supposed to be, it will fail.

It's ridiculous.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] james:
i noticed a difference with my wifi it does seem to be better i have not noticed a difference in my radio but my signal stinks where i live anyway
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
Mine has failed a few times, hangs at checking the build.prop. Is it possible to un-zip a sbf and pull a fresh one, same as a rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] danh18:
my signal stinks at home too... thanks VERIZON!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:
I checked for updates earlier and it found the .181. I Installed it and can't tell any difference.

However, I forgot to backup root :( I hope the rooting method gets updated to support this release.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
My phone usually has two or three bars of 4g coverage at my house or work. But my phone just randomly drops data. I.have the restore connectivity app and it may not drop it for about 12 hours then its back to it. Today right after the update it completely stopped signal in a place where I always have signal. O didn't move and it came back up. This is the only phone I ever had that has done this. I'm about ready to get rid of it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Caseyk621:
Where in WNY?

Holy freaking battery life....like this update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Johnpg:
The root from the "Razr Utility" posted in the Development section worked fine
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Adauth:
Been just about 24 hours since I installed the update. No problems to report, although maybe its just in my head, but I have gotten better battery life , calls are clearer( even though they were clear before), and the phone just seems snappier.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
will doing a factory reset allow me to get the .181 update,being a noob i don't know what rsd is or how to find logwrapper,when i rooted i installed tb,voodoo ot, but i don't remember installing any bootstrapper,or safe strap although my first attempts at rooting included installing the bionic bootstrapper but when root failed i uninstalled,please advise:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
I had to rsd back to get the update. I had changed some values in the build.prop. Before I rsd'd back I tried to just factory reset and it didn't work so I'm assuming that a factory reset doesn't change/reset your root file system.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
thanks,but i don't know what rsd means,or how to do it i'm a noob but i do follow instructions reasonably well!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:
I used Matt's tool from this thread:

can some one point me out the right direction please. thanks

my story. rooting my phone removed all bloatware and did not make a back up like the retard i am. ota came out and i cannot upgrade of course so im trying to restore every thing back to normal as possible. i tried using the matt utility but i cant get it to detect my phone. can some one please give me links and steps to get this back to stock rom and so forth so that i can get the ota. thanks so much. im super noob lolz.

.181 just received

just received .181 (manual check mind you)

was rooted..

downloaded, installed, no issues.

Lost root (of course)

Ran Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper - failed

SU - Failed check

eh.. no big deal for the moment...

Other than that - upgrade went fine - not sure of improvements yet.

Update: Titanium is showing as rooted, but update to SU shows Superuser v3.0.7 (41) Su Binary nvull - tapped to check for updates... Latest Version 3.0.3.2 - checking installed version = legacy - update - checking current install path... fail! no currently installed binary.. update can not continue..

back soon..

Rom Manager - not rooted.. odd.. seems like have partial root .. oh well.. will figure out later..

a positive so far - speedtest .. 10meg down, 8meg up -

I usually got 10meg down... but around 3 up... we'll see if it lasts.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrlooly:
I lost root with .181

I used razr utility to re-root

Worked just fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
does anyone have a list of the bloat they have froze on .181 and all is working fine?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dodge DeBoulet:
Updated my rooted and de-bloated RAZR MAXX this morning. It failed the first time, but then I restored all of the backed-up/deleted apps. I did NOT temporarily un-root, though, and the update competed successfully.

Voodoo OTA RootKeeper was necessary to restore root access, but that was it. Everything else is just dandy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drock79:
frustrated

Still having issues with this ota. rooted phone stock. tried voodoo = no success, reset phone to factory specs = no success, re-rooted and kept all bloatware = no success. looked all over threads and different forums. nothing. looking for someone to maybe post the actual ota manual download? would like to have better speeds and longer battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] in99flames:
I just opened the box to the phone an hour ago, programmed it, and did the update and your post answered my question about the new version and root. Thanks!

I have yet to be able to download the update. I've tried on wifi and 4G. I either get a message that says everything is up to date or the service is not available. Are you getting the update over wifi or cell?

Fone Rebooted during call

I updated last night, and re-rooted. I didn't re-install/unfreeze any apps. Everything seemed to go ok. But this morning, I got a call, and when I tried to turn on the speaker, my phone just re-booted. So far I'm not impressed with the 181 release. I hope this was just a glitch. :(

It seems like people are having more trouble hearing me after applying the .181 update. I have a lot of people asking me to repeat myself and that they cannot hear me.

So far, so good

I have installed the update. Made sure Voodoo locked my "su" file before installing update. Lost my root after install but Voodoo re-installed my root. Tested it to make sure I am still rooted and seen no problems so far. I have not deleted any bloatware nor lost any apps from the update installation.
