I deleted apps using TitaniumBackup, I think that's what broke it. I was rooted, but I did an unroot in superuser before trying to install the update.

I just started a factory wipe for starters. Guess I'll need to recover an exact stock configuration, which is .181 right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
Google Matt's 1.6 utility to get back to stock. Install included drivers first.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
Yes removing Bloat is known to break updates, like said before use matts DroidRazrUtility 1.6 to fastboot back to .181 then root and install voodoo OTA using the utility then in voodoo, backup root and temp unroot, then OTA, then open voodoo and restore root, and you'll be laughing.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mhworley:
If you have Bootstrap or Safestrap open that app in your app drawer and use the uninstall feature. then make sure you have your temp unroot enabled and run the update.... I just figured it out...

(UPDATE)

Just finished installing up update, rebooted (took a while) into ICS. Nice new lock screen, root restored.

(UPDATE)

Text massager got ugly...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nitin_ko:
i am rooted and have used voodoo to save root but i dont hv any bootstrap or safetstrap in my apps.

wud having titanium backup and other root apps make any difference to the installation of OTA ?

Ya looks like you found out the solution to my problem man!!! great job!!!! looks like its installing how it should this time. Thx!!!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] archangel52005:
Still no ICS *Update Failed*

I have my Droid Razr Maxx Rooted with Stock ROM no removed bloat just frozen using TB. Unfroze all apps and tried to accept the OTA and I keep getting "install failed." I do not have the Safestrap app installed. I tried using MattsTool v 1.7 ICS to side load as mentioned by a few people, but I cannot get the drivers to install correctly. I've tried directly from Moto, the drivers provided in various tuts but not luck. When I go to go through the process I get hung up on "waiting on device". I am using MAC but going through WIN using parallels.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bingo6104:
if it fails anyway to go to the install and start from there? where is it at?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brons2:
Use Matt's 1.6 to flash back to stock. Then try OTA. That's what worked for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cliffplaysdrums:
I was unrooted with the latest update (prior to ics) but super user was still installed. Update failed. I rooted and used Matt's utility to flash back to .181. Update failed. Realized I was still rooted so I used the utility to unroot and the update is still failing. I downloaded and updated the drivers from Motorola prior to flashing back. Ill try the update again with text tomorrow and let you know what it says. Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
You can still update even when u root.

You must have deleted some bloatware.. Check back if u removed anything

thank you. glad to know there is a solution.

I uninstalled bootstrap prior to flashing back to stock. Will I need to root again to find its remnants and remove it?

EDIT: I believe I've found it. Rerooting right now with Matt's utility. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cliffplaysdrums:
That was it. Rooted, used root browser lite to completely remove bootstrap, rebooted, and updated and maintained root. Now its time to make a backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Toan:
Just want to share with others, I had the same issue and cost me 2 days to solve. ICS OTA tried to patch the missing file GoToMeeting.apk which was removed (using TB). This is a bloatware and was not updated by the previous OTA. I tried different methods: from razr bootstrap restoring old backup to get latest version from the Market but none of them match the expected hash value. At the end I used RSD 5.6 to flash with the stock 65.1.40 PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 (my RAZR from Singapore M1). This made my RAZR "brand new" and the ICS OTA happy :o

Note that I did root it, back up root by Voodoo root keeper, un-root, install the ICS OTA and restore the root again.

ICS is really nice, much better than GB, at least to me.

Hi, I am using Photon for my GSM. I have unlocked my phone and right now using MIUI ROM.

Can anyone suggest me which is the best available stable ROM for my photon with very less issues. Please help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
peetr's 2.3.5 Hybrid. It offer's the most in advantages vs stability. The current version has very few bugs and is extremely stable. It may not be "cool" but then again neither was Imperium.
[Motorola Photon 4G] randy420:
ic4 roms not stable as u think

i tried 3 diffrent rom parinoid aokp and cm9 none were stable my phone wold randomly reboot when not being used , net flix dosent work issues with the kick stand mode i thought they all lacked the attension to detail since motorola makes things a lil harder soposidly
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
I second the choice of peetr's 2.3.5 rom. It works great and has been virtually bug free. I've tried stock, Imperium, paranoid, cm9, and cm7 also and the only one I can get data on aside from peetr's is cm7. I'm trying out simplemobile on my photon to see how t-mobiles network is.

[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
just nandroid restore your stock ROM. given you backed that up like you should have.

or do you possibly mean restore your radio to go back to the stock ROM / CDMA?

[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
peetr_'s 2.3.5 Hybrid is the best.

but for the adventurous people; cm10 alpha is getting along well with gsm network. better than cm9 alpha.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Fast2learn:
all CM9 have bugs

as i tried different CM9 ROM, all of them had major bugs, unless if you are considering camcorder not major part of the phone, even the alpha CM10 have the same bug and more.

for me i had to wait until an official release from Motorola
[Motorola Photon 4G] karamathdr:
I think cm10 beta by jokersax with gapps v3 is better even though in the beta stage smooth and fast with small issues like white screen in camera application(but mind you jelly bean camera takes awesome photos even with the white screen) camcorder issues and themes not able to apply

Any updates on stable roms? I just unlocked my gsm radio on att orginal2.3.4 looking for somehing good but.dont wanna brick my phone or lose my gsm inlock any ideas;please
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Yes, I can recommend the latest stable build of Code Name Android (CNA). It works like a dream. My apn's don't disappear nor do I need to do anything special to get gsm working. In fact, I came from a backed up version stock straight to it and gsm worked out of the box. I use Simple Mobile, I got to pick them from a list of APN names that was pretty accurate. Just be sure to compare the settings in the rom against what is on the carriers website. I didn't see anything on Simple's website for locking the connection down but CNA had it secured from the get-go. I couldn't use data reliably in my area until I made the apn settings match. It may actually work for others, I was planning to update the thread with my info but I'm trying out some other stuff first that I want to report back on with it before doing so.

I can't speak for any one else's experience but for me it was a very minimal amount of work that didn't require me to research much. (How many times have I borked this Photon?!). Just be sure to select Google Talk from gapps if you want it when you're flashing, I forgot to add it and am searching for jelly gapps only pack to flash it in since the apk isn't available separately.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
If you want just Google now get the latest jellygapps on jokers site

All of those except the Sprint phones are easily unlocked...
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Of course I know. They are simple to unlock, and if I'm not mistaken there are methods here on XDA that allow you to unlock certain devices via the bootloader/fastboot. Gfree for instance was a free method that unlocked the MT4G for other carriers. And one can easily convert a ATT, Sprint, or verizon device if they have the time. There are actually many guides that tell you how to flash CDMA phones for other carriers, like Sprint to boost/virgin m.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stebomurkn420:
Is there a way to flash via Odin for our Verizon version???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Uh.. I think there's a way, but that sounds complicated, and a difficult find for sure. Perhaps just look for a stock 4.0.4 verizon rom + radios + recovery and then relock bootloader via fastboot. Because there is no way you're locking your bootloader without fastboot... so you need to use it anyway, so just use the original method I linked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjcapp:
Did you check make a nandroid backup?

I would personally use the "flash" link in my signature - it's straight forward and step by step. But, if you want an Odin method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24552203.

Could one of you awesome developers out there just make a cwm version of the stock ICS image.. basically a .zip file that overites custom recovery with stock and takes you back to stock.... this would make life so easy!!!! Lol. Dwitherell made us a .zip file like this to take us back to stock on my last phone ( Samsung charge)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
But then you won't be stock... you'll be on a stock ROM but still custom recovery etc.

Just use the method Efrant posted and you'll be 100% stock. Its extremely easy, and you can be sure that nothing will go wrong because you'll be doing it manually yourself. Stop asking people to do things for you and just make it happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stebomurkn420:
Obviously you didn't read my reply carefully... I said a .zip that REWRITES custom recovery with stock recovery and takes us back to stock...4.0.2 or 4.0.4... don't get ****ty with me kid..
