No, you'll get it but it'll break root. I unrooted and went back to stock 181 weeks ago, and my phone is still lying to me, saying it's up to date...

\\Carved into this thread with my RAZR//

[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
.173? I think you're only updating to .181 not ICS... and I can almost guarantee you that its safestrap.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
Meh
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dodge DeBoulet:
Are you truly this ignorant? Wow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FAUguy:
I guess I'm going to have to go back to stock 181 using Matt's Toos 1.7, since I can't get the OTA or Zip file to install due to the System 7 Error.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
It's never un-froze and of my bloatware when my 181 ota came and it installed fine. And when I restored root with Rootkeeper they were all still frozen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ssinisterss:
just manually install the OTA if its getting to you.

y u so mad tho?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave5777:
Someone else who got the soak invite with a serial number close to yours could have registered your serial number instead of there's.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dstrouse:
It's not Verizon that dictates the soak test, it's Motorola. Other manufacturers don't do it the same way
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Rutz272:
Wow! Somebody pissed a little becauce of not getting ICS yet..? Calm the f*** down!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mojo20032004:
So this update file will work on a bone stock Verizon moto RAZR?I have no bootstraps of any kind.still a factory phone with just the .181.xt912 update Motorola had a few months ago
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hotweelz66:
Yes it works on a stock phone. Did mine yesterday. Check out the "update file" thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FAUguy:
Ended up doing that...used Matt's Tool 1.7 to revert back to stock 181. Then did the Wipe Cache twice. Installed the ICS Update ZIP file from SD card without problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] james:
Glad to read you got it fixed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cbanning:
I am so hesitant to try the Matt utility - I really, really like this phone and don't want to break it.............is the OTA supposedly still being deployed, like on a constant basis? (Which means I haven't got it, nor have I had any type of notification that I'm going to get it any time soon).

thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
It's hard to break having Matt's Utility to save you. I had to try about 3 or 4 times to get Update to work, but the instructions have probably been changed from the first time I tried. I believe the OTA is in more of a soak test progess as to way most people haven't received the OTA. It should be on your phone within a week if you don't feel like manually updating.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
You should receive it by the 27th unless your a soak tester
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
Nope, I am part of the SOAK. Just figured everyone who gets on here every 2 minutes and posts "nothing yet" should understand that they wont get it unless they manually install....or....wait until the soak is done and the kinks are worked out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
Not at all...aside from installing the update.zip that is not official yet....you won't get it. Unless you were part of the soak.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dodge DeBoulet:
AGAIN, I and numerous other individuals have reported receiving both notification that the update was coming, and subsequently that it was available for download and installation on their RAZRs. Some of them had signed up for the soak (too late, according to many), but many had not. All you need to do is read a couple of the threads on this and other Droid RAZR-related fora.

Verizon, in fact, announced that the rollout was starting on the 22nd. Perhaps you missed it . . .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
I saw what Verizon "said" but then again... Verizon is always truthful.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
A friend I work with got the soak but did not take the survey, but ye is registered on the moto support forums and has his phone registered for the feedback network. Probably a mix up on Moto's end.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dodge DeBoulet:
They certainly were truthful in this case, if you'd care to open your eyes.

What proof do you offer that the rollout hasn't begun? I know what I saw with my RAZR, but I haven't seen you offer anything other than apparent misinformation.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

No, probably the same public release I got. I've never registered my Razr for anything on the motorola support forums. I did register a Roadster 2 handsfree speakerphone . . . but last I heard those don't run ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
Possibly...don't understand the point of a soak when you let the carrier release the OTA. This build still needs some features. CDMA only would sure be nice since 4g murders the battery. Signal seems alot lower too....if this is the final build...it is lacking.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] FReQ Z:
Couldn't it be that Moto has seen how many issues people have had sideloading the soak, fixed it and is redoing the soak?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] racingglock35:
Dunno. This version is nice. The 3g/4g toggle would be nice.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] refuse2bstopped:
So if a person is on the "soak test", and Verizon decides (for what ever reason) to do some other tweaking before releasing the official "mass OTA", would those on the soak test receive another "system update"? Also, what if this supposed "official OTA upload" that's been "sideloaded" by many in the last 36 to 48 hours (including myself) is actually just the soak test, wouldn't the stock razrs that "sideloaded" it still be on the "upgrade path"? And I ask this as one who was able to "sideload" this from my SD card to a totally 100% stock and NON ROOTED phone. I might not be making any sense with these questions honestly..... wouldn't be the first time, and sorry for all of the "quotations", I guess I just "like" them. :silly:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
So far the soak is going a ok no major issues as of yet
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave5777:
From the Uber private forum. I say they start pushing the OTA to the general public on the 27th. :beer:

COMMENT:

Hi.

Wanted to thank everyone who has provided comments so far - please keep them coming. Remember to check my first post in any thread to make sure you are providing the needed information. For example, for stability issues, we really want the time (and timezone) when you saw the problem.

Veteran soak-testers know that weekend soaks typically end on Monday. Because this is an upGRADE to the Android OS (vs. an upDATE - bug fixes, etc.), we're giving it more time to soak. We will continue through Monday at least.

Because of that, I won't be sending out the survey today, but probably will send it tomorrow.

Thanks again!

- Matt"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
Well the private forum's are closed lets hope they get some positive feed back so the rest of u get the official when ever Verizon decides to release it to the public
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Motorola ICS Update page Updated 6-25-12 Razr's now OFFICIALLY listed in testing phase.

Yes, I'm one of those waiting for the official OTA instead of flashing the leak.

Charging my phone now for what is hopefully its last charge on GB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
I am a soak tester they are now looking over all our input if there is no major issues u should see it by friday but don't take me to the bank on that i know the private forum i was in only about 3 ppl had minor issues nothing that couldn't

Be resolved by a reboot or factory reset
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jacob9424:
Dont get too hyped up...its likely they could find something majorly wrong and have to delay it again, starting this process all....over....again....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:
I don't see that happening but like i said do not take me to the bank on it i personally have had not one issue what so ever its flawless in my book
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jacob9424:
Yeah well like others I'm predicting the 27th. That gives them a full day to review the feedback and get ready to push the little green upload button they have been hesitant to push for the last few months...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
In essence, we've done our own soak test on .211 and from most accounts, it's solid and stable. I don't anticipate any real delays here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dparm:
So if I'm on the .75 leak, I need to roll back to GB and then get ICS from there? I assume none of the leaks are directly upgradeable to the official version.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
I really don't believe them when they say they're running a soak test right now...I've never signed up for a soak test, nor do I even have an account on Motorola's forum, and I got the OTA. There would be no point in that since I have absolutely no way of providing feedback, and received no information or instruction on doing so.

It's running pretty strong IMO. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus I can say that this is just as stable, but they're missing a few features. I don't think it has anything to do with not being ready...I think they're intentional changes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
So, all the leak testers who post here are part of an international conspiracy?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] echew:
Not so sure about that... There are a couple of bugs that are in there that need ironing out. If 211 goes live, I would personally be a bit surprised. This isn't quite prime time just yet. I am a soaker and tested all the leaks from 84 on up to 211. 211 is by far the best, but again their is a few bugs left.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dodge DeBoulet:
I think his point is that he's received the OTA without being part of the soak test, which has been my experience as well. It was posted on another forum that Motorola included an additional +/- 1,000 non-soakers in a limited public rollout starting the 22nd.

Not necessarily a conspiracy, but I think many of the soak participants here on xda may not have all of the facts.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmraymond:
Frankly I don't see what all the hype about ICS is about. A smidge better battery life is the best thing that I have observed. At times my phone is even laggy where it wasn't with GB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] animal1967:
For those who dont want to wait, you can upgrade to the official Verizon update to ICS now. One of the guys there saved the update patch and made it available to all.

Go to www.droidforums.net and go to the RAZR forum. Make sure you are bone stock before flashing the zip file in recovery. The instructions are there and they're pretty straight forward.

Also, after you are bone stock and in booted into recovery, make sure you wipe your cache and data/factory reset prior to flashing the update. I didnt wipe data/factory reset and soft bricked my phone. All I did was boot back into recovery, wipe cache again and data and the update loaded perfectly. Im not an expert and I did it, so you can too. Just make damn sure you're BONE STOCK. Bootstrap and Safestrap will cause you to soft brick it. There are instructions there to unroot and go back to bone stock.

I was hesitant at first but if you follow my instructions above and those on Droid forums you can get the official update now.

Best of luck.:fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hindle1225:
I'm my opinion.. The refresh of the user interface alone makes this update worth it. Multitasking and recent apps screen are very much improved.

Without divulging too much, a buddy at my office was on the soak test. He shall remain nameless. Final surveys were sent out last night. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't see ICS being pushed in the next few days to everyone. They apparently told everyone they needed the surveys complete by afternoon today so they can give the final go/no go for the push.

I can't confirm or deny any of this as im not part of the test.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bostonbassman78:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] wizkidcom:
Stupid question time

So I didn't get back all the bloatware before I tried to force a side-load of ics.

If I do a factory reset, will that restore the bloatware? Or do I need to re-root and restore?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MyEntityRemains:
Reset will get back all your bloatware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ForeverZ3RO:
I don't think so. If you uninstalled a system app/bloatware, it would not be reinstalled even if you factory reset the handset. You'd have to SBF back or find the system app/bloatware and re install it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] wizkidcom:
I did finally got it back. I found that DroidRazrUtility1.7forICS would reinstall 181 and bring my brick back to life. My only complaint is that it forced me to boot up WinPuke on my laptop. I may take another hack at updating next weekend, if Verizon doesn't send me the update.

UPDATE:

I got the official OTA yesterday, and after about 3 whacks, got root back on. Thanks for your help everyone. Now I need to figure out what to freeze to get my battery life back :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JerseyFF:
Anyone can manually go check for the update and receive it now. VZW has made it available to all devices, just has not pushed it to all devices yet.

Verizon Twitter Confims

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jumpinj:
I could be wrong, but I think that just because someone gets that first email about the SOAK, doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to be in it.

My understanding is that they send that out to people that meet a set of criteria (You opted for "Feedback Network" on the Moto Forum, and you have the correct device for the test), then, depending on the answers you provide in the survey from that first email, they may, or may not pick you from that pool of people.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I don't remember them ever doing it this way...as noted in another post, they have always done a SOAK test first, then announced a "general rollout".

Maybe the Twitter post is referring to the SOAK being authorized by by Verizon...and if nothing goes horribly wrong, it will be considered the start of the rollout to the masses.

Will be interesting to see where this goes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
FWIW, within an hour of the first person getting the soak update, the update zip will be posted online somewhere.

The idea of going from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 w/o a soak test would be crazy and if something were to go wrong, everyone would ***** about a "botched" update instead of "OMG WHERE IS IT???".

A direct quote from Moto:

http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/0...ws-for-droid-razr-and-droid-razr-maxx-owners/

Mind you, Moto only says some ppl will be getting it "this week", while Vzon says it's beginning today.

Here's how I interpret all of this: the soak invites went out early this week (I got one, too). That's all the facts that we know, the rest is speculation... but I believe the soak test will begin shortly, maybe today. That's what Verizon is interpretting as - the soak is beginning today. Moto says it more accurately - only some ppl will be getting it today (ie: the soak test).

You have to admit, going from GB to ICS is a pretty big leap forward, no matter what the platform is. A soak test is imminent, no doubt about that. It won't be skipped, as business rules here will dictate that something this large needs to go as smooth as possible. They're not going to spend big $$$ to just throw something out to the masses and "hope for the best." Soak will be soon, then roll-out to general populace. Like it was said earlier, OTA notifications will be sent out when server bandwidth is at it's lowest peak in order to push out the most.

We'll get it soon. Probably sooner than the Samsumg GIII will be made available. LOL :cyclops:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hotleadsingerguy:
I think it's incorrect to assume that a soak test "has" to be done for a release like this. Products and software updates go out across the world every day that don't require a large soak test. Just because Verizon normally does one doesn't mean they always will.

For all we know, Verizon might have had a stress test amongst Verizon employees, or Motorola employees, or people of Maine. Verizon says it will start rolling out today...they wouldn't do that if it were *only* rolling out to Soak test applicants. That could very well mean only 5 people will get it today...it doesn't really matter.

People need to stop yelling at other members of the forum and making it seem ridiculous that people believe Verizon might not have a soak test (or that there's some scheduled time frame for all of this). Just sit and wait until the update starts rolling.
