Ahh okay then :P not a big deal then.

Not to be a noob, but can you point me in the direction of a tut? And the OTA .zip would be specifically for the RAZR HD I'm assuming? I like a proper interface, that's why I have never used a ROM :)

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
The OTA .zip is on XDA most likely. Put it on external SD.

Install in Motorola Recovery.

There isn't a guide for booting to Moto recovery per se... its easy. From a fully off state: Hold down both volume buttons and the power button. Things bring you to the Boot Menu. Use the Volume Down to move and Volume Up to select. Select Recovery. At the Andy press both Volume Buttons.

Hey, I'm getting ready to upgrade to a Droid Razr MAXX HD and I was reading through all of this and I just want to make sure I understand before I do anything stupid. Use the utility to downgrade, if I need to which I hope I don't, run the root exploit, install Voodoo, close the program, run Voodoo, unroot using Voodoo and accept the OTA JB update and run Voodoo to restore root? Also, would it be better to install Voodoo through the utility or download it from the market? Thanks for the help.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
your steps are close.

1.) Restore 4.0.4 if you need to.

2.) Go to settings - about phone - system updates, take the 6MB update.

3.) Root

4.) Install voodoo or just download from the market (i downloaded from the market)

5.) Open voodoo and protect root.

6.) Temp unroot

7.) Take JB OTA

8) Open voodoo and restore root.

Just did this process no more than 30 minutes ago and it worked flawlessly.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] stjake:
What's the 6MB update for? I thought the system updates process would look for small updates and OTA firmware updates. Thanks for the speedy response. I won't be doing this until Xmas because it's a gift from my parents, they realize the importance of me having unlimited data.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Not sure what the 6mb update was for.. it came out pretty soon after the phone did.. but if you check for system updates it will make you download the small one before the JB one.

You actually were able to use a computer with less than 1 GB of RAM to flash files over 1 GB in size. I'm surprised it actually worked.

So yes, anyone using less RAM on your computer than your PHONE has, expect lag. :rolleyes:
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Notrega:
Well of course, that is why I said a slow/old system. These phones have more processing/computing power than what was used to get us to the moon... and it seems my laptop isn't much better than what NASA was using in the 60s... :eek:

You gotta use what you have. I had no doubts of success... Great program and many, many thanks.... :good:

Ok, have the file downloaded, ran the file Droid_RAZR_HD_Utility.bat with phone in fastboot and attached via usb, and nothing happened. Program said it worked, but went through step one (revert to ICS) in about 5 seconds. Not possible. Said phone was now on ICS and wiped, but when I rebooted phone it was still on JB and nothing was wiped. Tried twice.

Did I do something wrong? Any pointers / small steps I'm missing?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
Well obviously the utility errored on that... sent the output of the program via text pastebin.org or screenshot. I can't do anything without them. Most likely was 'fastboot not recognized as a command or external blah blah' meaning you needed to extract the whole zip to a folder on the desktop and run the batch inside. 'not recognized as a command or external blah blah' means the .bat file cannot see the other files.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] LifeAsADroid:
Ah yes! That is probably it! I ran the .bat file from inside the .zip file. Sorry, it was late (midnight) and not thinking along with trying to do it quick messed me up. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

I should have known... Ran into the same errors when I was creating live wallpapers for my old Ally. You know what they say about committing the same error and expecting a different outcome...

Thanks Matt!

I found another thread on the droid forum where someone had the same error as me and they were advised to update the Adbwinapi.dll and the fastboot in the folder. so i downloaded those two files replaced them and it worked first try. Before I found that I kept on getting <waiting for device> or flash failures at various points during the flash. The phone would not make it past apfastboot under any sort of boot normal, restore, factory reset. For about 5 hours I was convinced my phone was done, I even dug out my droid charge and started to charge it. But I am now on Jelly bean Rooted.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Im_Gumby:
Does anyone know if newly purchased phones are coming with JB already installed? If so would this still work to install root?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Depends on their stocks. I'd assume they would send out all the ones in their warehouse with ICS still on them and when they run out the JB phones will start shipping. Either way this would still work as long as you restore to 4.0.4 through it before root.

So I finally got my phone and went through the rooting process, I have root and I'm on JB, I triple checked, but I put my Titanium backup folder on my old SD card which before updating I could access on my new phone, but now I can't seem to get to pull it up. I keep getting "Unfortunately, com.motorola.huxvmm.settings has stopped when I choose the storage option in settings. I also can't get my phone to show up as a removable drive to drop the files onto the internal memory. Besides that everything seems fine, any ideas?

Hello, I'm using a Droid RAZR Maxx HD on the latest JB from system update. I get into fast boot mode by pressing volume down and power until the screen comes up, I tried downgrading to ICS with this utility but I get a bunch of cannot execute fastboot adb commands or something along those lines. I have tried multiple times. I will re-try and post a screenshot of the prompt if needed. Thanks!
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Budnick:

I bought my razr last week also was updated to jellybean I tried the samething you did.

Same problem tried many times to root but no luck.

If you get it can you pm me to explain what you did?

I sent you a PM regarding the steps I followed. I hope to hear your reply.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
You cannot go back to ICS.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] LifeAsADroid:
Really? Not to take up too much of your time Matt, but would you mind elaborating a little why not? I took the JB system OTA, but was able to revert back to ICS using the utility no problem (had to in order to root the phone - my mistake not doing it before taking the update). What's different with their situation? Probably something critical that I'm missing from their typed out situation. Forgive me, I'm a little under the weather :)
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
Whoops! I thought I was in my DROID RAZR XT912 thread. You can definitely go back to ICS on the HD lol

If you do indeed have root, FTPDroidPRO will let you transfer files to your Droid from your laptop. You just need to be sure they're both connected to the same WiFi router. FTPDroidPRO will tell you what IP address to use for anonymous ftp. One of its settings is what home folder to use for anonymous. Set it to / and you'll have visibility of the whole phone. The External SD is in /mnt/external1.

Well y was try to instal dualbox on my Motorola xt910 and when finish to instal android jelly bean the phone is turn off and now i can"t turn on bcz when i connect it on phone charger appear that desktop when show me M and is block there . And i think cuz delete all bcz i try to reset it to factory and noting pls help
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] dorugreymon:
All unzipped in one place, drivers are installed correctly as far as I know. I've been through the rooting process with my Nexus 10, so I'm not completely clueless. I installed drivers from the Motorola website, is that the coirrect way? Let me know what I can do to fix my problem, and thanks for your response :) .

The picture I uploaded is the error I get after entering AP Fastboot. My battery is at 100%, and I chose AP Fastboot from the list when prompted. I still get all those errors, I have also tried with a factory reset, re-downloaded all the files, and re-installed drivers. Not sure what I could be doing wrong.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
Nothing is wrong with your phone or drivers or data.... the problem is you need to unzip it to its own folder on the desktop. If you put it on the root of a harddrive it requires root access and gets messy.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] dorugreymon:
EDIT: I have tried again and it worked great. I have one more question to ask though, what is Safestrap and do I need it for keeping root on JB.

Thanks again for all your help.

Safe strap is used to flash ROMs. It has nothing to do with root itself but you need root to install it.

Hey,

I am thinking about rooting my VZW RAZR HD -- just want to make sure that I have the correct steps (taken from a previous post in this thread):

1.) Restore 4.0.4 if you need to.

2.) Go to settings - about phone - system updates, take the 6MB update.

3.) Root

4.) Install voodoo or just download from the market (i downloaded from the market)

5.) Open voodoo and protect root.

6.) Temp unroot

7.) Take JB OTA

8.) Open voodoo and restore root.

I notice some people talking about the need to update the su binaries -- do I just do that by downloading this APK?

Superuser APK Android Play Store

If so, where do I do that in the sequence listed above? I'm guessing it's between steps 3/4 -- is that right?

Thanks
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
The utility was updated to 1.10 so you no longer have to update the SU binary... those steps are correct.

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Cpudan80:
OK Thanks -- so do you need that APK from the play store at all?

I've had a rooted phone before and I recall that the APK just gives you some additional prompts/notifications about things that want su or have been using su -- is that still the correct assumption?

Thanks again
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
The SU apk? It will be installed automatically for you when you root.

any chance of adding an unroot option?

i rooted my phone, almost right out of the box

i then got the update notification, so i started the update

it failed, and now my root is "not working" anymore

when i start Root Exlorer, it says "Root Explorer has been granted root privileges", but i cant mount any partition R/W, so i cant delete su manually

rerooting didnt work either

any ideas on how to fix this?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] LifeAsADroid:
Maybe factory reset? Have you tried voodoo's ota rootkeeper to temporarily unroot? Personally if you're having major issues I'd bite the bullet and factory reset the phone.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] JarlSX:
hmmm, i really wish i didnt have to factory reset..

rootkeeper onlu shows "superuser app installed" and "/system supports root protection" checked, all others are unchecked

i thought that, as long as you have su in /system/bin, yiou are rooted?

is there anything i can do by installing Safestrap?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] LifeAsADroid:
I doubt safestrap will do anything to fix your root issue. Safestrap is for getting past the bootloader, and (as far as I am aware of) has nothing to do with rooting or unrooting. If Voodoo didn't work to unroot your phone, just reflash it to stock. Otherwise live with it.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] JarlSX:
i disabled superuser, used the utility to root, this time it worked!

rebooted, enabled superuser, now rootkeeper shows all options checked!

temp unroot worked as well, now lets hope i can update :)

Excellent! Glad it worked out for you without having to start over with a factory reset.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] JarlSX:

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] LifeAsADroid:
Factory reset it. That's all I can say. If you don't want to do that, I can't help you.

Factory reset, root, protect root with voodoo, unroot, take the 0.7.2 update, take the JB 4.1.1 update, then use voodoo to restore root.

Hi, I got a probs here, My HD is Telstra, I rooted on 4.0.4 before updated to JB. also protected the roo with the VOODOO,but it is rooted cos nothing worked but the superuser.

SO, I used the tools to set back to stock rom 4.0.4 but it's still 4.1.2, I done 5 times . it said set my phone back to 4.0.4 . I checked the phone status which is 4.1.2.

I did exactly what it says.

-updateing to 0.7.2

-updating to JB

ofcourse it didnt, so i wanted to go through the process again

but now, after going back to 0.6.25, my phone doesnt boot anymore?

its stuck in the red logo thing...

any idea?

sorry to keep bothering you... :)
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Did you wipe data during the restore? If not, wipe it now in stock recovery. Turn the phone off. Hold volume up + volume down + power until you see a black screen with white letters. Be quick and use volume down to highlight recovery. Press volume up to select it. At the dead android press volume up + volume down together. Use volume keys to scroll down to wipe data and power to select it. And just a heads up take the small 6mb update before you root. Then use root keeper to protect and temp unroot during the JB OTA.
