[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
Lol well know they have my serial number and the fact that im rooted so ill have to sideload later tonight when i have time. I also may wait a few days just to see how accurate this employees facts are.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blueizee:
that is not true...i used razr utility to reverty back to stock .181 and had re-rooted it....then side loaded the official OTA .211 with razr utility 1.7 .....not a problem since !!!

just one thing i havent figured out is, how do i go back to stock .181 so i can recieve the OTA, like i said, i have had not one issue with sideloading it myself but i would still like to see the actual OTA...it would satisfy me lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chevybythesea:
I too was wondering. My folks got the OTA yesterday, on non-rooted MAXX's. My MAXX, rooted, has nothing.

Am I out of luck, and will I have to side-load the ICS?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Batttie:
I guess the question is anyone with root not in soak recieve OTA yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
Somebody try this again

But lie when they asknif ur rooted

Tell them its a hundred percent stock

See what they say then

I bet they have no way to tell
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chevybythesea:
They didn't even ask....

George: Hi, my name is George. How may I help you?

Tim Timmons: I want to know what the problem is with the ICS OTA for RAZR

Tim Timmons: I still haven't gotten it, but my folks with MAXX phones, have.

Tim Timmons: and we live in the same town

Tim Timmons: ??

George: Sorry for that wait

George: We do apologize for the inconvenience. Do not worry, we will do our best to assist you on this.

George: Let me check that for you

Tim Timmons: thanks

George: Now I need the system number of the phone just for a documentation purposes, May I have it please?

George: The system version will be Setting > About phone > System Version

Tim Timmons: XXXXXXXXXXX(IEMEI)

George: Thank you

George: I have tried to check this information in my end and I regret to say that we do not have the exact date about when will be release.however the Update is been going on at the moment. .the update will be pushed out by Motorola in batches to all users over a few week time period.So kindly wait for the notification to be send to your phone.

Tim Timmons: 6.12.181.xt912.verizon.en.us

Tim Timmons: But how is it sent - by locale, or what?

Tim Timmons: and how did you check? You asked for version info, and before I gave it to you, you had a canned response....Can you check again, please?

George: It's gonna be send randomly

George: Yes, I was able to check with my system. sorry, i only needed your system version for documentation purposes.

George: The update will randomly send by our Engineer. And it all users will receive the update batches to batches in over a few week time period.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Yo_Daddy:
Just went to Moto's website and did the chat with rep. They explained to me that they are still doing just the test users at this point with Verizon customers and that I will most likely be receiving it over the next couple of weeks. :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chevybythesea:
The "Supervisor" I spoke with later was able to tell me that they can check via a application they have, if I am rooted, my IP, and a few other things.

And......those that are stock, rooted, will not get the OTA. :confused:

I don't know whether to wait impatiently, or attempt side-loading ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RootedUser:
I just talked to them to and the serial number some how tells them that the device has been rooted.

I even unrooted just to see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
Well i think im just gonna sideload ot anyway. I just need to find the best barney style instructions. Im rooted, i dont use roms so im stock so i just need the best surefire way to make this happen. Sounds like to me though, moto and Verizon are punishing root users for no reason. I love moto phones but this may be my last one that i buy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gbroon:
Pretty sure I saw a few posts in the forum from people who got the update while rooted, just they lost root and rerooted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
I'm rooted and sideloaded ics.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
On here mickievminnie has an on device way that i used and is very straight forward. It might hang up at one or two points but then you just redo it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] james:
so it sounds like they can tell if your rooted and even if you unroot with voodoo ota rootkeeper they can still see that your phone is root and maybe they will not be sending out the ota to us rooted folks so maybe it is wise to unroot for a couple of days or a week just to see what happens
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Terri M:
My phone is rooted and tweaked just as I like it, but I ALWAYS keep a clean, stock, rooted nandroid copy for when an OTA pops up. My phone was rooted when I got the OTA, and I had non problems updating.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwabashu:
rooted and downloading

Not sure what the problem is with the first post. I'm rooted and am currently downloading...something OTA - I'll let you guys know when its finished - think its ICS - checked system update and it said I have an update - so I'm doing it. We'll see in some time what exactly it is.

I'll let you boys know.

peace
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
Ya I got got it Im downloading now!!!!. The employee from moto was prob lying and trying to get 150 bucks out of me
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwabashu:
and my phone is...

a motorola razr xt912 verizon baby!

I was checking earlier tonight and there was no updates but my buddy (alteredlikeness) recomended a reboot. While i was in cwm recovery i decided to wipe cache and dalvik so I don't know if that helped at all but it won't hurt.

peace

update failed to install...

boogers and poop
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdkio:
Just adding to the conversation...

I was rooted, did temp unroot with Voodoo, and the ICS OTA went smoothly. I restored root, and I'm good to go.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
used Voodoo to unroot and install failed. Im gonna try it again but using teh new Superuser unroot tool
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
They cant tell if ur rooted!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Just did this same thing, temp unroot with voodoo, OTA, restore with voodoo and I'm all good. You'll only have problems if you froze bloatware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] alteredlikeness:
I got your back, man... no worries.

For anyone else with failed installs, it's most likely because you removed some system apps that the installation process checks for. In iwabashu's case, it was RichLocationVzW.apk & .odex (aka Social Location) - at least I hope that's all...

For reference, what I did was check the /cache/recovery folder and looked at the last_log file. It told me that that specific file was missing. Luckily I did a system dump of the stock RAZR before he started mussing with system files... So, I made a quick zip and popped the missing files back on the phone - and now we going for round two.. at 2am..

If it's another no go, I'm checking the log again and possibly just going fxz to be certain it's got that fresh stock phone smell...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] naturalharmoniks:
I was rooted when I receive the ota and was rooted when it finished without a root keeper
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drumster:
I just received the OTA too. I was stock rooted and still got the OTA. Even I had root after updating. Its awesome.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] m3ta:
Fixed it for you.. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] newowner:
rooted - used voodoo ota... to be safe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brons2:
Yes, lots of people. In my case, the OTA initally failed because I uninstalled some of the Verizon crapware, but after i flashed back to stock, it worked fine with root.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tribalb:
I unfroze everything. Still getting fail to update. Any sugestions? Im on stock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
If you have safestrap or bootstrap you need to uninstall it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WelcomeGhosts:
I also, unfroze and thought I restored all the stock stuff but still no validation on the OTA.

Any help would be awesome. I did a full Titanium Backup after initial root, and I went through and restored all the factory apps, but maybe I missed some? Would a factory reset do anything to help?

EDIT: Would using the Droid Razr Utility to do a recovery help anything?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] james:
well my phone is rooted and i got a ota this morning and so did my friends wife
[Motorola Droid RAZR] AndroidGreg:
Was rooted when getting the OTA, decided to not unroot, all went well even though I had uninstalled some bloat (only the stuff that allows uninstall when not rooted). The only bummer was Voodoo ota root keeper failed me, wouldnt restore, soo I just loaded up matt's 1.7 utility to re root.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RJx307:
When checking for system updates ICS showed up and is now downloading.

Rooted stock rom with Verizon Droid Razr in SoCal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sk842018:
For anyone having issues installing ota. Download razr utility 1.6. Follow instructions to get to options. Choose option 1. Will erase data and put you back at 100% stock. It tajes a little while to do its thing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iwabashu:
all good with ics-alteredlikeness jumped on this machine and fixed the prob...literally-he jumped on my phone and hit it with sticks as the theme music from 2001 space odessy played...i deleted some apps i shouldnt have-i also retained root-peace
[Motorola Droid RAZR] baune7:
I'm not going to read through the whole thread, but you sir, are a dumbass. If you give your phone to some jacko to "root" it, and you don't know what that is, then the problem's on YOU. Not Verizon, not Motorola, but you. You should know "BEFORE" rooting, that it voids your warranty.

YOU are the problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rockene:
LOL u should read it dumbass :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] baune7:
I read the whole thread. That's the annoying part. The OP didn't know what "rooting" was in the conversation and then got mad at the tech support person.

Anyone who roots their phone should know that it voids any warranty and could possibly prevent any future OS upgrades or updates.

All i'm saying is if you let someone "root" your phone, and you don't know what that is, don't get mad at VZW or Moto.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheatthepocket:
Oh I know what root is I did the root myself actually. I also wasnt mad at the tech. I lied to get info out of him and he lied back lol. He tried to get me to pay 159 dollars to "repair" ( unroot)my phone . That I can do myself. The point is that he said I would not recieve the OTA cuz i was rooted. Well i recieved it anyway while still rooted. He tried to take advantage of my situation and charge me to basically factory reset my phone...lol

android 4.1 jelly bean is stunning! I can't wait to see it on my kindle fire :'3

so I'm wondering...is that possibru? jelly bean on kindle fire? :silly:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_m128:
Source code doesn't come out til mid July, hashcode and others say they will work on it day 1. I've also seen hash say on twitter that the kindle fire will be the first device he works on with jellybean

jelly bean rom update

i am very new and was able to get jelly bean on my kf from one of the other threads. but now i am having a small issue with it stating there is an update of my rom and i have no idea how to install it after i download it. i have been trying to look around on the board but cant seem to find the answer. Sorry if it seems like a dumb question.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark930:
Same way you flashed your ROM the first time use twrp

Sent from my Kindle Fire
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filslave:
Which ROM are you using. I'm using the jandycane ROM. Installation instructions are usually on the first page of the thread, but this is what I do:

1) boot into recovery (twrp)

2) wipe dalvik cache, regular cache and do a factory reset

3) wipe system

4) install ROM from the SD card (probably in your download folder)

5) install jb gapps (Google apps)

6) wipe cache and dalvik cache again

7) go to "advanced" from the recovery homescreen and fix permissions

8) reboot
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
I am using jandycane_otter thanks for the info but i tried installing the update and my apps do not transfer i would have to reinstall all my apps and also the tablet acts as if i never existed and have to reenter all my info...going into recovery now and restoring
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
now i have an update to rom and gapps download them and still not working in fact following previous post it wipes out all apps as if its a new device...how do i install updates without losing info?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
If you back up you device to Google (a tic in the set up) you simply go to the store and install your list of apps. I always do a clean install and have done this over 20 times.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
so I have no choice but to reinstall all my apps and sign back into the device like its the first time i did
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
thats the route I would take
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
so is there anyway i can update the jandycane apps and jandycane rom without losing my information, and having to reinstall all my items?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
Does anyone know how this can be done without having to wipe out all your information and having to reinstall all the items? i cant find any info on this
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thea mohamed-toorn:
You can use titanium back up it's an app in the play store.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
Tried.it still lose all info...I know I have asked this before but haven't gotten a response can someone literally dumb it down for because I.must be doing something wrong.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Well that would certainly make sense being that we are talking about two different systems a full wipe is always recommended when changing systems. You see you are causing yourself nothing but trouble wipe it reflash and move on... apps can all be redownloaded your sdcard contents remain intact just don't wipe your sdcard account can be resigned into the only thing it really effects is like game data whoopie..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leohernandeznj:
thank you pooch i was able to download the apps and update of the rom and just flashed it and it worked fine with nothing being lost...but now every time i turn it on it says there is an update for my rom but when i click it to download it opens and immediately closes, yet when i click to check for updates it says the current version is running.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
Mods, if you feel this is posted inappropriately in the dev section, please move. However, as this is posted in T-mobile development though is universal, I thought this was a good location for the post.

Moving on, I have nothing to do with the development of this ROM, just found it in the T-mobile section and wanted to share with other Sprint users.

Original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728255

All credit goes to uoY_redruM

*** I have not personally tried this ROM on my Sprint SGS3 but intend on doing so when I get home this afternoon. That said, it is stated in the OP of the original thread that this is confirmed working on Sprint devices***

This option does not exist for our phones. I am currently trying to figure out another way to get to APN settings. Currently, this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NraXQuYW5kcm9pZC5hcG5zZXR0aW5nc3Nob3J0Y3V0Il0. seems to display the proper settings.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Seen it but have your or any Sprint user confirmed it working?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Magic Oreo:
exactly, no one wants to try it. :X
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
No. I am planning to test it out when i get home but the OP in the original thread said it works for Sprint. However, as you're pointed out I cannot confirm this, yet.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Screw it! Ill be a guinea pig! lol

Downloading now, ill flash as soon as my works crappy wifi downloads it lol Im dying for a deodexed system.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
I was thinking the same thing. Downloading to my phone now. lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
It should because it doesn't seem to flash any carrier-specific things, but I'm too afraid to try myself...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Ya I just started too. I noticed Chrome didnt want to download so I had to use the stock browser.

edit: going so slooooooooooow!! lol Starting to miss 4g right about now lol. My work wifi is no better than my 3g here lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
I added instructions in the OP to obtain your APN settings before flashing the ROM.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
There is no tab for this on the Sprint model of the phone. I think APN is specific for GSM :confused:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Magic Oreo:
yep, there's no tab for it. I just checked.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
I noticed this too. I know that APN settings exist for Sprint, I'm just trying to find where they are.

I found this that has know APN settings, but I'd like to see what the settings are for this device.

Found this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NraXQuYW5kcm9pZC5hcG5zZXR0aW5nc3Nob3J0Y3V0Il0.

gonna give it a go.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Ya 2 days ago I deodexed our stock rom and created a rom for myself but I didnt have a working script so I think I used their script to see if it worked. It worked and flashed it (knew it was my rom since I had modded the sytemui to ICS blue colors) but it didnt take the APNs on it as well. Of course I got scared and nandroided back like a little girl and gave up lol. But now it has me thinking...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] clark44:
I'm fixing the problem now guys be patient. I might be maintaining for the Sprint version. We will see.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
Do you know any dialer codes for the S3? I'm pretty sure there's a way of finding/editing APN settings through the use of one of those codes.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
root explorer found

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared/shared_prefs/preferred-apn.xml

/data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/preferred-apn.xml

/efs/apns.xml

/etc/apns-conf.xml

Not sure what ANY of those do though lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
I tried ##DATA# but couldn't find APN settings. I just downloaded an app called "APN Settings Shortcut" and it takes me to the APN menu on my phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jarnow94:
Thanks, I just downloaded the app and see a bunch of different intimidating looking things lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mlin:
when I get a chance I will look into these menus to see how much redundancy there is and probably just write down all the settings for each menu. I gotta get back to work now though.

Sorry fellas for sharing this a little prematurely.

Is the jellybean soft keyboard better than the ics one? The ics has bad lag on it when I type fast. Also the space bar is weird so when I type I hit the b or the n key instead of space.

Thanks for your responses, jellybean is sounding better every time I read about it! Lol so excited for a skyrocket port. Lol
[General Questions and Answers] sceretsquirrel16:
Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) keyboard is better than the Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) keyboard. JB keyboard learns your typing habits to predict and to correct words a lot better (like Swiftkey) and responds faster. The ICS keyboard would throw suggestions at you while you typed the word.
[General Questions and Answers] thomasgatt:
I prefer ICS over Jelly Bean... im cant seem to get a full sentence right at one go!

Yes it will be much better, similar to SwiftKey which is the BEST keyboard to date.

One thing I really miss about the ICS KB is how the punctuation marks showed up in the suggestion bar after a press of the space bar. With jb I'm having to long press to get anything other than a period.

I am not going to research this, cause I am sure there are a ton of threads involving ROMs. What I am asking is for a poll. I just installed yesterday Wicked Sensations v1.4 with FF18 modem. I did that modem because prior to flashing to Wicked I had installed the FF18 on a stock Gingerbread 2.3.6. Seemed to work well on my phone. Anyway I am not liking Wicked to much; so I am asking all of you. What ROM are you running? What is the performance like? Is there any ROMs out that that have the overclock kernel built in? What issues are you seeing with the ROM you chose? I know the ultimate decision will be mine as to what ROM to use. Wither it's the stock android, or something else. I am asking this because before I started trying to flash to a different ROM I was only aware of Cyanogenmod 7. I get on here, and start looking around, and BAM! there are a TON of ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Blazer ROM

I'm currently running Blazer V4.1 as my daily driver. I flashed rogue_et-1.4.1+ kernel w/ OCing. I don't have any issues at all. best one I've ran so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SouthPhilly:
I just started running CM9 Alfa5 build with TeamWins twrp- 2.1.8-epictouch-CM9-FF11(safe for flashing) kernel and can't be happier. Everything works as it should, it's really smooth and has a ton of bells and whistles.

If your looking for a GB roms try out GalaxyTask_14_Slim I used that one for a long long time. And if I decide to go back to GB that's the rom I would jump back to.
