You will need to grab P3Droid's fastboot from here (the system is large and requires a newer fastboot that flashes in parts):

http://www.aosp.us/wp-content/files/fastboots.zip

fastboot flash system system.img.ext4
fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Thanks a ton - I guess this is all still dependent on whether or not the fastboot file (or the img files within it in this scenario) will work ok?
[Droid RAZR M General] mattlgroff:
Oh for sure those fastboot images I listed (system and boot) will work. Its just a waiting game for the official JB.. you could also update to a newer leak with this process.
[Droid RAZR M General] rav3nous:
OK guys, new to all this. But let me see if I can get a handle on it. We can flash this unofficial official release of the jb update to our phones. Its at my own risk, but so far a lot of people have done this (I know I'm taking a risk) but just in case this update doesn't allow ota update of official jb, then we have the fast boot files to trick the update into thinking we are updating official ics? Am I close?
[Droid RAZR M General] mattlgroff:
Yup :)
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Cool, thanks again.
[Droid RAZR M General] melo563:
Thanks for post matt

I just checked out some videos on Google Now it looks pretty impressive. More so than I thought it would anyway. Now I might go ahead an update this to jelly bean. I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun!

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

This reminds me of my Droid Pro when they did some testing with GB and it took months and months for them to actually push out the ota update so I manually downloaded GB because it seemed to be taking forever. If that is any indication of how long it might take I wouldn't be surprised if it did take till next year.
[Droid RAZR M General] rav3nous:
Just updated to jb, so far its extremely smooth. Google now is a must for any android phone (say "do a barrel roll") No regrets so far.
[Droid RAZR M General] mk1151:
dumb question I guess but where do I get the system.img.ext4 and boot.img files so I have my insurance policy?

Thanks again for the great instructions.

Can anyone comment on:

1) Does the 4G signal still give up to 3G easily?

2) Is the gallery app now without the cloud icon for VZW cloud backup services? In the stock build I noticed that the gallery app would not show my Picasa online / Google+ photos. If they included the stock JB app this issue would probably be fixed.
[Droid RAZR M General] Hell-Intimidator:
I'm not sure about 4G and 3G issue, but it have to be Verizon's network issue cuz Gnex having a same problem. Mine still solid 4G all day long.

As for Gallery, I never try those stuff but hope this screenshot help?

Just a heads up, svtp WiFi hotspot does not support jb for now as far as I know. Anyone know a work around for this yet? Trying Motorola ICS and Samsung ICS device profiles both say device not supported and the regular Motorola device profile checks for subscription.

D'oh!

Holy crap am I an idiot... RAZR M... not RAZR Maxx... jesus I need more coffee. Me and my Maxx will be over here waiting on a leak.
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Hey Matt - if you're seeing this this morning... I'm about to try that fastboot file through rsdlite to see if everything reverts back ok. I have a backup phone either way, and figured if it doesn't work for some reason, I could "manually" flash the system/boot images via what you told me yesterday, then use the leak to get back onto JB and a running phone. Correct me if that sounds wrong... but my question is, I have rsdlite 5.7 - any reason I shouldn't be able to use that version?

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Well I tried anyway. Failed before it got started. Is it meant to be done only manually? Or is rsd not good for it due to the reasons you said yesterday? (large system, etc.) Or is this simply showing my ignorance to some of the nitty-gritty details?

Edit: tried rsd 5.9, same thing
[Droid RAZR M General] jmb11111:
Clock?

Not that important, just curios if the circles clock widget is included in this JB update?
[Droid RAZR M General] jetking2:
I just did the update and it seems great so far. The circles widget is still there.
[Droid RAZR M General] ashonka:
I applied this update a couple nights ago and basically all seems fine. A couple times I have noticed my screen brightness has dimmed and needs to be readjusted.

I cannot say that it seems any smoother or faster than ICS did, but I have been happy on those accounts since I got the phone. It is nice to have Google Now.
[Droid RAZR M General] mk1151:
I recall something a while back that long filenames don't work too well with RSD. What happens if you try renaming the file to something smaller?

The error you are generating though doesn't look that that is the issue. Just a suggestion.
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Gave it a shot just to see, but no luck. Figured the same as you, but couldn't hurt trying! :)

I'm comfortable with running the commands manually vs. through rsdlite (if that's even doable for all of it), but would just need a little guidance as to order, etc.
[Droid RAZR M General] mattlgroff:
Remove the line from the xml that does the getvar command
[Droid RAZR M General] jetking2:
After updating I've lost the file manager app. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Favor - could someone with a stock 4.0.4 retail M post a screenshot of the "about" screen - specifically everything below "Legal Information".
[Droid RAZR M General] hokieputter:
Here you go..
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
That did it - thanks!

So I can confirm in my situation that those files will get you back to a stock "factory" phone from the current JB leak. Everything looks perfect and appears to be working perfect. External SD was not wiped, though I guess it shouldn't have been.

Not that it's a huge deal, but I just haven't seen anybody else try it yet and post about it. But it worked perfectly after getting rid of that getvar command line. I'd upload the .zip with the that command line out of there, but my work connection is ridiculously slow. But it was easy enough... all I did was extract it, edit the xml with notepad to get rid of that line, and rezip it with 7zip.

Edit: according to Pzyduck, if you use rsdlite 6.1.4, you won't have a problem with the getvar line

Thanks again Matt - and obviously thanks to Pzyduck and his team for getting those to us. So even though we don't have root, we can at least tinker with the leaks with some sense of security... some...
[Droid RAZR M General] David531:
Just a heads up, rumors are going around that the official update will be pushed this Thursday, the 18th. For me at least, that's reason enough to hold off on this one.
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Could you link something on that? That would be great... though an odd coincidence with the Razr HD and Maxx HD being released that day.
[Droid RAZR M General] David531:
I can't post links because i have <10 posts, so get rid of the space before "com"

examiner. com/article/motorola-droid-razr-m-jelly-bean-update-is-here

I just saw it on another site too, but I can't find it at the moment. I realize it's not the most authoritative, but probably enough for me to wait it out for a couple of days.
[Droid RAZR M General] mattlgroff:
The 18th is when the RAZR HD comes out...

You will see soak test invites go out ahead of time. This is not a finished build and its from 3 days ago... very unlikely their source is even remotely knowledgeable in the matter.

Ok it seems that I can access the "files" app by going into settings>accounts>backup assistant plus but I don't have the app in my app drawer anymore.

Weird
[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
yeah I notice the Files "missing" too. But it's a good chance for using some third-party apps like Astro File manager.. Does anyone knows any good File manager which works good with Dropbox ( Like uploading multiple files - via sharing function ) I'm a big fan of that "Sharing" function on Android... Killer function :D...
[Droid RAZR M General] Dyelon:
I believe ES File Explorer has dedicated "Dropbox" functionality...

man I'm really torn about this jellybean update. I feel like verizon and motorola f*cking suck with updates and we're never going to get it.

Are there any DOWNSIDES to updating? Anything big missing/glitchy? and just in general, how hard is it to upgrade a non-dev edition to it on a scale of 1-10?
[Droid RAZR M General] Hell-Intimidator:
Yeah, that's weird because I still have it.

[Droid RAZR M General] mgerbasio:
Motorola said the new RAZRs will ship with JB and since the M is basically the same platform, perhaps there is not going to be a soak test. If Motorola sticks with the prior pattern, soak test invitations go out. The test starts about two days later. The soak last 5-7 days. Then the software is released within a few days.

It isn't always that way. Sometimes they release the software at the same time or within a day of the soak test. I'm going to hold out until Thursday.....Maybe.
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
I thought they weren't shipping with JB, but would all three be upgraded by end of year? Maybe I'm remembering wrong...
[Droid RAZR M General] mk1151:
You're correct. That is what Moto said. But of course anything can happen. I would be very surprised if we saw JB to the masses in 48 hours and the HD lines ship with JB.

But I've been surprised before...
[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
Thanks Dyelon.. ES File Explorer is great.. a lot of function and minimalist design.. :D.. Free as well and I tested. Can upload multiple files to dropbox.. Which is very cool :D
[Droid RAZR M General] mgerbasio:
At the launch event in September they said the two HD phones would ship with JB. I can't recall if it was at the launch or later but they said all 2011 phones would be getting it by the end of the year. Any phone that didn't get it you can get $100 rebate to replace it with a new phone. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong or things have changed.
[Droid RAZR M General] freak4dell:
You should try Solid Explorer. I used to be a big ES fan, but after trying Solid, I haven't touched ES again. Solid has everything that ES did, as far as I can tell, and it's a better interface. The two pane layout is awesome, and so much quicker for moving files around (turn the phone to landscape orientation to see the two panes).
[Droid RAZR M General] simpledave:
Looks pretty good and solid design.. im testing it right now and lets see how effective it is.. not sure since the software is still in beta.. but with outstanding reviews points. Its worth a try...

Can't figure out how to delete a file in solid. I can see there's a menu action, but it doesn't allow you to select a file.

I don't find it quite so intuitive as others i used
[Droid RAZR M General] freak4dell:
Tap on the icon for the file. A row of options will pop up on the bottom. Long pressing on the file also gives you a list of options, but that way doesn't allow you to select multiple files. Long pressing on the file icon will allow you to drag it to another folder. This is where the two pane view comes in really, really handy.
[Droid RAZR M General] aznguyen316:
If you're not in grid mode, tap the picture icon of desired file to select that file. Makes it easy and fast!
[Droid RAZR M General] devinhfox:
None of that works in grid mode, why not?
[Droid RAZR M General] freak4dell:
No clue. I've never used grid mode in Solid.
[Droid RAZR M General] melo563:
Me either but have you had 4.1.2 on it I couldn't get it to do it on the nexus first then tried it on the m neither one worked I have a net box which allows me to watch movies and pull pics off my phone and watch on TV up till now no problems but can't anymore since jellybean updates.

Can you not form new albums in the stock gallery?
[Droid RAZR M General] ronsonger:
any word yet if we will be able to update this once the Official build comes out?
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
The fastboot files that were released work, so you can get back to stock 4.0.4 when it does.
[Droid RAZR M General] ronsonger:
Thank you for all your help man
[Droid RAZR M General] jntdroid:
Don't thank me, thank Pzyduck, mattlgroff, etc. I simply tried it out on my phone! ;)
[Droid RAZR M General] hokieputter:
I also tried reverting to stock. Just for grins so I could get used to the process given the M is my first ever Moto device. Works like a charm.
[Droid RAZR M General] Hell-Intimidator:
I would turn back to stock when officially JB OTA release. Because my M getting a randomly reboot on it own. So far, 3 times today.

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
This idea came about from a discussion, in the old requests to mods & admins thread, about dealing with new users across this site.

When I say dealing with new users, I mean how you respond to either posts where the user clearly hasn't searched, the user has done something they shouldn't have done etc etc.

Some users will simply report the members post and leave it down to the moderators to deal with. Some will respond with sarcasm/trolling/flaming. Some will simply give the person the correct information and mention nothing about what they've done wrong and others, like me, may feel the need to rant away at some users.

With me, if someone has done something they shouldn't have done, I won't ever report it. I'll only report a post if it's something serious like racism or illegal content. I'll generally give tell the person nicely what it is they've done wrong and what they should've done instead.

Obviously, doing so won't always work and the new member will continue doing wrong. I'll then PM the member and explain it to them fully away from public view.

However, if I come across a situation where a user has done wrong, and after being told so numerous times even by different people, that's when I'll step in and rant at them. My rants are never harsh and can never be mistaken for such. I simply tell them what they've done wrong and what they should've done, but I write it in such a way where it makes it seem angrier and makes the message sink in.

I'm interested to know what others opinions are on this and how you personally deal with such situations.

I already know that if moderators drop by in here, they'll probably say it's best to use the report feature but I'd like to hear everyone's opinions anyway :)
[About XDA developers] cascabel:
what i try to do is tell them as nicely as i can (not really that nice, but i don't flame) where they're wrong. i do realize mods are busy and i avoid reporting until i've given the new member at least a warning. i do report immediately when the issue is serious (ie: spamming in dev threads, warez, etc.).
[About XDA developers] sgt. meow:
I try to point out their mistakes. Then I explain (nicely) that xxx shouldn't have done yyyy. It doesn't hurt to be well-mannered. The member usually realizes his/her mistake and (tries to at least) never repeats it, hopefully.
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
I usually don't flame anyone.. I just reply them where they should have actually reported or posted it with link to that threads or forums.. and I ask them to post in proper section from next times.. usually using "please" or such words makes it better I feel.. they will feel we are trying to help them not to get in trouble in future and such.. and hopefully they will follow the advice in future..

But if I see same guy after been told does the same mistake.. then I report them..

Also I will report all wrong threads using PM with link to thread directly to our device mod as he is friendly and doesn't mind such PMs..
