So your going to use a a phone other than the one you already have loaded with Jb?

My set up: Maxx rooted, free wifi tether with pushed JB file which came from wardcst.

Use Matts utility to gain root and install voodoo root keeper. Following these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746873 enable native hotspot app. Protect root with voodoo root keeper and install JB through stock recovery.

Pretty quick overview but...

@DLeach4512

Do not try and go back you will soft brick your phone.You are stuck on JB
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jsimpkins:
Help!

So im doing fine until the last part on step 4. How do i install update from SD card? :P Maybe i need to be rooted? Im new to all of this so i dont know what to do haha
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DLeach4512:
Yes. I have a Razr and a Razr Maxx, but I only have one SIM card/plan. The MAxx is supposed to be my daily driver, and since i'm usually on the road traveling with limited access to wifi, I want to maintain one device in good working order, and use the other as a test unit. Once I get the test unit running smoothly just the way I want it, i'll back it up with titanium pro (I think that'll do the job) and simply "copy" everything over to the daily driver.

I'll check out the link you provided and see if I can get it all to work! Thanks!

Well, BIG thanks for that, i'm glad I saw that before I started making a neat paperweight! :P

It looks like i'll be going the route of (JB) Root> Save Root> Add wifi tethering> Customize> Backup> Restore to new phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kelco83:
JB breaks foxfi and now asks you to pay for USB tethering. VPN also doesn't work. I will be cancelling service and porting to another service.

I've had issues prior to this, but I'm calling it quits after this.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jsimpkins:
Well its in the .zip file in LOST.DIR

Yeah LOST.DIR. But the file is a .zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdwise:
I think it needs to be exposed. Like, not in a folder.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdwise:
Holy crap, it's beautiful. I didn't even factory reset. Just cleated the cache before running the update. Voodoo kept my root and everything.

No lie, this is probably the first time anything like this has gone right for me.

No bugs noticed yet, wifi and data work perfectly.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jsimpkins:
Alright but theres so many files and folders in the .zip which one(s) do i expose?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdwise:
Wait, now I'm confused. Is the zip just sitting on the SD card? Like, not in a folder? That's how it needs to be for recovery to see it. You don't need to unpack anything.

It's really tempting , but guys does it have or support arabic keyboard and read language or it would be better if I wait for ME release ?

plus pulling it seems suspicious and to the guys who tried it so far does it have issues even if minor ones ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] user1484:
I was rooted with clockwork recovery installed on .211 before I installed this update. I used Voodoo to protect my root, removed clockwork, and deleted su but I was still having error 7 problems when it did it's pre-install verification checks. I used Matt's Droid Razr Utility option 1 to put a clean install of .211 on and re-root. I then made a Titanium Backup update.zip just in case I needed it (which I didn't), protected and removed root, and used stock recovery to install the update like the instructions in post #1 of this thread said to. Everything worked perfectly and all my data and apps survived the update. :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JerseyFF:
Note to self, pay attention to what you're doing when you use Matt's Utility. Exit instead of user wipe :crying:

haha...in hindsight, its not a bad thing I guess. I didn't wipe from GB to ICS, I'm sure getting a wipe in there before going 2 OS updates is for my benefit!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
I didn't want to wipe either, but after doing so, the phone runs 10X better.

Every phone is different, especially if you've rooted and played with it.

I don't know about the keyboard, but I flashed it last night and it's been a charm so far. Fixed much of the lag moto gave us with ICS and i'm gonna see today if it fixed the battery issues.

But, as I said, every phone is different.

alright. I'm with you now. i was able to move the file without a root explorer, the stock Files app worked just fine. Use that and just move the .zip from lost.dir to sitting bare on the cardd.

Been running on jb and kept root since Christmas eve and just today I installed beats audio from the market. It asked for superuser permissions like 10 times and installed. I just noticed my voodoo root keeper seems broken and always shows "temp un root" button and never shows "restore root" button when I click it.. I also installed root checker and says device not rooted.

My superuser app won't update binary also shows I have 3.0.3.2

I swear I thought I went to 3.1.1 in order to install job..

Can anyone relate or advise on this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Hindle1225:
Edit: change link away from hot link

RestoreRoot.zip http://www.androidgadgematic.com/2012/12/manually-update-droid-razr-maxx-android.html?m=1

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gregoyo1:
Thank you. I downloaded the zip I am looking around for how to use it.. I still wonder how I became unrooted? I've been rooted since the day I bought the RAZR maxx in February. I still had root after the jb update as well because I was using my PlayStation controller with sixaxis app and fpse..

I wonder what I did to loose root?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] yoyurik:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] gregoyo1:
Alright I researched and found out how to use matt's root fixer. Really weird what happened next..

I click the FixRoot.bat icon to start the process, the RAZR maxx re boots, and the prompt say

-0- device rooted

Press any key to exit..

I didn't even type in "drag folder here" or the rest of the steps I started to type and got exited out.

So I get out and hit the root checker app and says I'm rooted... I then reinstalled superuser elite and I notice I had the supersu flying blue andy icon and app installed "which I didn't have installed before"

Very wierd.. I installed titanium backup pro and performed a backup in case this happens again..

I wonder what caused all of this with my RAZR today.

Could it be from the beats audio app I installed? I uninstalled but I read the drivers have to be uninstalled manually?

Thanks for all the help anyway

I've decided that the best thing I read last week was: "Android is updating.". Jelly Bean has made my RAZR so much smoother and faster, and Google Now is very useful.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdwise:
This here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RussianMenace:
At this point, with the release of SS 3.07 and the hacked JB kernel there really is no need to install the OTA. Instead, use SS 3.07 to dual-boot your RAZR between stock/rooted .211 (4.0.4) and JB. The only thing you would need to do is flash either JB or ICS kernel before activating respective ROMs, that way you aren't locked into JB and can still easily roll back to ICS or any other ROM for that matter.

Link to Droidrzr.com thread on the subject.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KMSAlex:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] cocachoopa43:
HELP!

I have a copy of a SU-backup file (because mine got erased) is there any way to move this backup to my system and restore root from there? I assume not since /system is Read only, but it's worth asking I suppose.

The new music app has been stripped of dlna. Also can't turn an mp3 into a ring tone. Motorola took features away. Yes I'm sure there are apps for these functions, just noticing the differences.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] s_cuttic:
Can't use mp3's as ringtones?? That sucks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdwise:
you could try ringdroid.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JerseyFF:
If you use Zedge (free off the Play Store) you can use any ringtone you get off their service (free downloads). I haven't had any trouble with their service yet. They include a ringtone selector that prompts to be your default anytime you try to select a ringtone for your phone, etc.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
I don't know about using the music app, but you most definitely can still use MP3's as ringtones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just4sc:
I'm kinda in the same situation but I don't have a copy of my SU-backup file ( :( )...I moved too quick and did a FDR before I remember I was rooted and had not yet restore root with OTA....but I don't think it can be done since you need root to make the system folder RW and since we don't have root we can't get switch the folder to RW...:(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cocachoopa43:
That's what I figured... I ended up cracking my screen though and got a replacement RAZR. This time I actually did it right. Thankfully.:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] poodlecap:
will this work from a mac???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] darthanubis:
Yeah, I'm familiar with both apps. I was just sharing the rape of the default music app. There is no dlna functionality at all. Hopefully, we get another update to restore functionality. I know, I'm dreaming.

Hi,

someone know when the non-verizon razr will be updated?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sdwise:
What is "this"? You don't need a computer to download, move, or run the update. If you wanted to use matts utility or his root fixer, that's another story (neither of these were necessary for me, I just used voodoo to keep root and cleared the cache partition before I ran the update).

I have root back!!!!

I had thought that I didn't have a copy of su-backup since it wasn't in the place I was expecting (it was in system and I had thought it was in the system/usr/we-need-root directory). Anyway, here's are the commands that I used from Matt's script (RestoreRoot - some may not be needed but...) (fyi - I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate and ran Windows command prompt with administrator privileges and I got the files from http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip - I copied the files su and Superuser.apk using ES Explorer to the root of my internal sdcard):

adb kill-server > nul

adb start-server > nul

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 500 > nul

adb wait-for-device devices > nul

adb shell "/system/su-backup -c 'mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/system /system'"

adb shell "/system/su-backup -c 'cp /su-backup /system/bin/su'"

adb shell "/system/su-backup -c 'chmod 6755 /system/bin/su'"

I then tested to see if I have su rights by going into adb shell and running "su":

adb shell

su

If you do not get any errors and just the shell prompt then that should mean that you have su rights. Then I did the following (within the adb shell):

su -c 'cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su'

su -c 'cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk'

su -c 'chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su'

su -c 'chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk' <----- I didn't do this but probably should

su -c 'rm /system/bin/su' <----- I didn't do this but probably should - some with more knowledge please let me know why this should be done - thx!

exit

exit

adb reboot

but you can probably do the following in the Windows Commandline (dos prompt):

adb shell "su -c 'cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su'"

adb shell "su -c 'cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk'"

adb shell "su -c 'chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su'"

adb shell "su -c 'chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk'"

adb shell "su -c 'rm /system/bin/su'"

adb reboot

After rebooting I ran my voodoo OTA and it asked for superuser rights and in voodoo it says that I have root and root privileges.

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks...I did it that way. However, when I tried to load the roms in my two slots it's gives me a blank screen after the SS splash screen. Is it because those two roms are ICS based??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] klabit87:
Yes. You can only run jb roms if you are on jb leak. Unless you use xlightwaverx's guide to load the ics kernel while on jb.

There are some good jb roms coming or right now though.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tomsgt:
If you are running a kexec ROM it should still load because it is using another kernel.

Yeah it should but kexec hasn't been updated or has been used very widely.

Most developers abandoned it because it was unstable.

Sent from my JellyBeaned Droid RAZR Maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KMSAlex:
As far as I understand yes. All the new roms need to be based of the new jelly beam kernel to work with the leaked ota. Unfortunately this is going to cause a lot of fragmenting in development and confused noobs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChipStewart:
DOH! Didn't follow directions & lost root!

I thought I had protected root via Voodoo, but I guess I hadn't. Voodoo can't find a protected SU copy. Upgrated to JB, lost root.

I'm seeing some folks claim they took the OTA update, and were able to return to .211 via Matt's Utility. Others state that you will brick your phone if you try to go back. Has anyone done it? I'd like to go back, root, protect root via Voodoo, update, and restore root via Voodo, if possible.

Otherwise . . . how is the rooting JB coming along :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KMSAlex:
Are you sure someone said they got back to .211 from jelly bean? Successfully?

The kernel has changed, you can't go back. Same deal as guys who wanted to go back to gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:
If you have upgraded to OTA jb then you can't go back to using ICS . BUT, if you are bricked after jb OTA update you can reload completely using droidrazrutility to get back to working JB. You flash back to .211 ICS (option 1) in AP Fastboot mode using DroidRAZRUtility. Phone will not fully boot after this stage and you can't root either. Root is gone until a fix comes out for JB. Shut down after it does its loading of .211, then go to boot menu again (hold power, up and down vol at same time) Then select recovery. When that is done hold vol down and up at same time. and recovery menu comes up. Select install update from external storage. Find file and install (Doesn't hurt to clear cache and dalvik at this point) before you apply OTA update from sdcard.

Reboot and go through initial setup process.

I have done this as well as many others here. You will be back at JB using leaked OTA update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
You're mostly correct, but it isn't the kernel preventing people from going back. It's the boot loader image.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KMSAlex:
I thought the kernel was signed and when the boot-loader checked the singing it was wrong and it failed to boot.

Yeah you gotta be on stock ROM rooted to keep root if you want it and you can't have anything freezed.

If you did deleted the guided tours apk then just use the DROID razr utility 1.82 and fastboot back to stock .211. You don't need to worry about protecting root because the leaked version can now be rooted pretty easy.

devils advocate

I could imagine that there are alot of JB lovers out here on a forum like this. I wanna ask here because it seems like an appropriate place. Lemme play devils advocate for a moment and say, now that I have been forced to except the automatic download to update, and it continues to incescantly ask to update. I, by accident, pressed update one time I was trying to make a quick call, and instead, that locked up my phone and I ended up with the new update.

Ever since then, it seems as tho I have a lot less control over my phone. Not to mention, it runs much much slower. I figure that these new update was made for the latest and greatest hardware, and so asking our phones with the outdated hardware to run this new software with a lot more information, we could only expect them to run like... well, you know. crap.

So, the question now is, what do we do? what are my options. I do not want to be told that I need an update. I do not want my device and investment to be slowed down by multiple apps that I don't use. I am almost at the point of hopelessness for the android platform and am contemplating giving up on it completely and going with an iPhone.

What can I do to make my phone less bloaty, run without freezing up and crashing, stalling to run?

any comments would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance.
