[Motorola Droid RAZR] hazer00:
Help with ICS leak .211 install.

For starters my phone is the Razr, not the maxx. (if this matters at all)

I followed the guide below in Italic to a "T" because I am coming from GB and I keep getting a "E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 0) Installation aborted" error right after the "Patching preinstall files..." command line:

I had 100% battery, I fast booted back to 6.12.181, I skipped the set up, I rooted, I downloaded and moved the Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip file and the Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.crc file (only one I could find) to the sd-ext and the /cache using es file explorer. I then went into the /cache folder, selected the zip file and chose rom manager to run it. I cleared the check boxes as instructed and the phone reboots (as it has superuser permissions to do so). I then see the red moto logo, then I get the black screen with the android standing outside the triangle with ! in it. I wait for about 5-10 minutes to see if something happens, and it doesnt. No ICS install for me. So I press the vol +/- combo and pwr and I instantly have the recovery menu, so I reboot and I am boot looping. So back to fastboot to restore 6.12.181 again. ugh...

Does anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Could it be a bad file that I downloaded? Could I have grabbed the wrong file by accident? IF this is the case, would some one be so kind as to post the links/files that will work! I would greatly appreciate it!

If you're on .181 or earlier (GB), OR on an ICS leak prior to .84, such as .79 or .75... But the above instructions gave you a sideload error...

-------MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS AT LEAST AT 50% BATTERY BEFORE YOU INSTALL. I ACTUALLY RECOMMEND 75% OR 100%, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST BE AT 50% OR YOU RISK HAVING TO HOTWIRE YOUR RAZR TO CHARGE IT IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG/TOO SLOW. BE CAUTIOUS!!!-------

- PUT THE UPDATE FILE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.

- Turn on USB Debugging.

- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 Modified .bat file.

- Press any button after ADB starts up. Then type in 15 and press enter, and follow the onscreen instructions to reboot into AP Fastboot (bootloader).

- Return to the main menu.

- Type 1 and press enter twice.

- Follow the onscreen instructions to Fastboot to .181 using Modified Droid RAZR Utility to make sure you're completely stock and the update will go through.

- Pick up your phone, and skip setup as it is futile at this point. You'll just want to turn on USB Debugging.

- On your computer, return to the main menu.

- Type 3 and press enter. Follow the directions to root your phone. It should reboot three times total.

- Install ROM Manager from the Play Store (no need for premium if you don't want it)

- DO NOT CLICK INSTALL RECOVERY, AND DO NOT INSTALL BOOTSTRAP

- Copy the update file and the .crc to /cache using a file manager of your choosing with root permissions if you did not already do so.

- Open /cache in a file browser of your choosing that will prompt you which application to use instead of opening the .zip file itself (ES File Explorer seems most popular - remember that you'll have to go enable root permissions in settings to even get to /cache, though!)

- Tap on the .zip and open it with ROM Manager

- Don't check anything in the popup and reboot recovery

- It will flash and finish

- Done! I recommend factory resetting again here. Reroot if you want using the guide at the bottom of the post.
