If you want to hide completely "ROGERS" from showing up, edit the file and put a space. Works fine and it still shows emergency calls only & other notifs. You can change the permissions depending on how you access your files, on Root Explorer just hold the file and with the menu you can change permissions.

The file is located in system/etc
[RAZR HD General] chgrbt:
And if you do what saloums7 suggested, and hide "Rogers" you'll have more space on the top bar for notifications, and when you travel, the roaming network should still show up because it will be a different network number than Rogers.

A quick note on the Rogers official JB:

Testing results with AnTuTu Benchmark on ICS were higher then the performance results on JB - 9200 to 9700 JB vs. 10500 to 11200 ICS.

Although, the speed test of my network (LTE) was much faster on JB.

I'm kinda lost here. Hoping for some advice. To sum up I'm on the 49003 software version. I have Rogers xt925 that I'm using on Fido network. Phone got sent in to Future Tel for repairs and they re flashed it with 49003.

Now I'm not getting the OTA update. It's been a month almost since they released it and my phone still says it's up to date. What should I do? Is there a fix to get back on the correct version? Is my phone forever stuck on ICS? Should I just wait? Or is Rogers/Fido not even aware some people might be on this old software. I'm not very techy and I don't really understand much of what is discussed here... But I was told couple days back that methods described here are for unlocked bootloader only. My phone is untouched from factory. It's not rooted or the bootloader(whatever that is) has not been unlocked. Any advice is really appreciated. Thanks
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
You should open up a case with Motorola tech support and tell them you haven't received jelly been yet and ask them what to do.

I recently bought a rogers XT925 from a friend. This was already updated OTA to JB 4.1.2.

I wanted to get some feedback from some of you who have compared the performance of this OTA to the the Brazilian/German Retail SBF. I got my BL unlocked and the modem/fsg files from Rogers ICS are on hand. I am downloading now the Brazilian SBF and just wanted to see what people here thought of that release. Is it as smooth as the Rogers OTA? Anything missing from it? Battery comparison?

[RAZR HD General] felcom:
Is there no other way to install it myself? I'm pretty sure they will just tell me to send it back to Future Tel. I don't have another phone... I sold my old phone and can't really go without a phone. My work revolves around my phone.
[RAZR HD General] gio5660m:
None at the moment, at least not without unlocking the bootloader/losing warranty and trying the files posted a few pages back http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38085875&postcount=180 at your own risk of course, in same boat here, I lost root when did OTA to jb and at time did not know about the restoreroot script some have had success with so used rsd lite to restore ICS (guessing same procedure Future Tel did) so now stuck... But at least you have a more legit claim as you did not do it yourself.. (whose future tel? are they related to Motorola/Fido?) For paid repair you shouldn't get a solution that gets ya stuck with no future ota updates for sure... Heh, hopefully leads to a resolution that others like me can maybe use :)

You can root it so long as your bootloader is unlocked. There is a thread in the android development forum about it. It's really easy; it takes about 2 minutes.

Yea, still trying to hold on to warranty for now, I'm holding out for this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2165383

[RAZR HD General] BluePlanetMan:
I used 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQL-12.2_CANADA_VANQJBLTEFRCI_P004_CFC_fb.xml.zip and extracted and edited the XML (I hope that is the correct zip file) and tried to flash, but getting the error "Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (oem); phone connected" in RSD Lite.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Ok, I edited the XML and removed the references to the OEM lines (there are TWO of them. RSD seemed to go fine until it got to SBL3 and then failed with:

" Failed Flashing Process. 4/19 f;ash sbl3 "sbl3_signed" -> Size returned by phone does not match what was expected"

I am searching for a solution to this... if anyone knows please advise.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

So I have managed to get this to flash with RSDLite 6.0 (5.7 did not work for some reason). However, on reboot, it is stuck at the M logo, not sure if its just doing stuff, we will see....

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

No.. this did not work. I am now just stuck at the M logo. Which means I may have to go back to stock ICS, or find another solution. Has anyone successfully flashed the RSD version over rooted ICS with the TWRP recovery?
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Try flashing with unmodified XML. Maybe you messed something up... RSD overwrites recovery & erases data so don't try to preserve root or recovery you will have to reflash it.

Edit: I just checked the other thread. Remove the getvar lines. That should be the only modification you have to bring keep the rest as-is.

Sent from my RAZR HD XT925
[RAZR HD General] gio5660m:
Yea, I only had to remove the 1 getvar line, flashed earlier today, though looks like you may have some other problem... One tip for those still with locked bootloader, if you want to just try out this jb and think you can return to ics for root through rsd, think again :( get following error which I've seen a couple other posts about but no resolution:

downgraded security version

update gpt_main version failed

preflash validation failed for GPT

heh, just about ready to not bother with the warranty and unlock the bootloader :) though does look like probably a root for jb soon...
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
That's no problem you just delete the 2 lines of text after getvar and it will work.
[RAZR HD General] gio5660m:
That gets it closer, now get to 13/20 error on boot_signed:

Parition (boot) Security Version Downgraded

preflash validation falied for boot
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
You cannot downgrade to ICS without an unlocked bootloader.
[RAZR HD General] gio5660m:
Yea, figured... will wait a little longer for jb root before unlocking
[RAZR HD General] ynk3:
After a week of torture and when i was about to flash a custom rom, which ended up not working, I got the update message!! but i was rooted and using safe strap. had to unroot and remove safe strap because it was hindering the update process. just a heads up for those who haven't updated yet.
[RAZR HD General] felcom:
Just wanted to post my experience from point of view of a complete newb. I posted on this topic here before. To recap, my phone got sent in for repairs and they flashed it with 49003. So I didn't get my update notification. I figured I'll just wait but we're into March now and still nothing. So I downloaded the OS package from difunker and tried installing. Didn't know how to go about it. Found some instructions online. Couldn't make it work. I deleted the getvar line but I still got stuck on process 17/22. I was using rsd lite 5.7. I found the post where someone said 5.7 didn't work but 6 0 did. So tried that and it worked! I'm so happy to get my phone back on the proper software, without having to send it in for service... 49003 is awful. My phone was very choppy. Froze all the time and shut off randomly.

Now on JB it's smooth. Seems to run perfect. Google live thing is pretty cool too. Thanks Difunker!
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
Thanks for the props! I actually posted a tutorial on flashing a Motorola phone with fastboot a couple of nights ago, that might have made your process a little better :)

I'll try to get the mods sticky that post.
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
any FIDO xt925 user can direct me to root the xt 925, tried couple things but still at a loss on how to flash root.zip from sd.

motofailtogo also doesnt work for me as i CANT generate bugreport..

anywho , I appreciate it:cool:

btw my xt925 is unlocked and on 4.1.2
[RAZR HD General] gilnfld:
You have the bootloader unlocked you mean? If so, 1) install CWM recovery and boot into it. 2) Install, via CWM, the SuperSU flashable CWM zip file that is floating around here. I have done it a half dozen times this month alone. always works.

gs
[RAZR HD General] gio5660m:
Just to add, the motofail... is just for ICS, that is why it was not working for you on jb 4.1.2, as mentioned, root for jb is install cwm as in this thread
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
my bad mofo is only network unocked, so i suppose bootloader must be unlocked as well? installed the sdk but still need some assists
[RAZR HD General] gilnfld:
Yes, if you want to root the stock fido/rogers jellybean 4.1.2 with CWM recovery, you have to UL the bootloader first. takes all but 3 minutes. go to the motorola 'unlock my device' page and follow the instructions to a t. become familiar with adb fastboot command line syntax. once the UL process is done you can push the CWM recovery to the phone using the necessary adb commands. then enter cwm and flash SuperSU zip file,

become one with adb, learn it, use it, love it. ;)
[RAZR HD General] felcom:
Here is a interesting development. I'm the guy who sent in his phone for service and future tel installed the wrong software. They installed 49003 and I didn't get a jb update notification. Motorola just called me last night and told me that my phone received the wrong software. They told me to send in the phone so they can install correct software.

Thing is i already installed jb with rds lite. If i tell them that, will that void my warranty now?
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
2 things you could do. First ignore them and carry on :) second, roll back to ICS with rsdlite and send it in
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
I didn't think you could downgrade to ics from JB. best is to just ignore and say that you never got the email ;)
[RAZR HD General] felcom:
I plan on ignoring them... Just curious if I told them that I found a way to install JB using rds lite if that would void my warranty. I'm sure if I ignore them they won't care. I love how they messed up and I'm supposed to lose my phone for an additional few days. I need a working phone for my work... I can't work if I don't have my phone on me.
[RAZR HD General] chgrbt:
Most important is that you are now on JB and you're happy with the way your phone runs. If that's the case, i'd agree, ignore the offer. It's good Moto followed up on an error by one of their service providers. Thx for sharing your news.

If you don t have unlock bootloader... your warranty is intact...

Update Methodology

I've been updating many phones with CWM before but I just recently bought a Rogers XT925 that I have unlocked and will be using on Koodo. Right now, other than being unlocked it is stock. Am I correct in assuming that I need to use RSD to flash this .ZIP file after putting it in Fastboot mode?

Thanks for the download source!
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
You can't flash an OTA with RSD. If you really wanna use RSD you would have to wait for the fastboot files
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
No, I think you have to do it using the stock recovery. I posted instructions in the thread in the android development forum but it gives an error and does not work. I need a guru to help me figure out how to install this.
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
Update method

This is sort of the reason I asked the question. This thread give links to the update file but not how to do it.
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Here are the steps:

1. put the .zip file onto your external sd card

2. boot into recovery by holding volume up and then pressing power, then use volume down until you get to "recovery" and press volume up to select it

3. once the Android with the belly open logo shows, press both Volume Up and Volume Down

4. use Volume Down to navigate 'Update from External Data' and press 'Power' to select it

5. use Volume Down to navigate to the .zip file and press 'Power' to select it

There is something else we have to do thought; we need to alter the .zip file so that it will install correctly. I tried a few things already but nothing is working.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
I managed to install it through stock recovery and so far it's working just fine! I'm booting it up as I'm writing this.

The only difference in the way I did it was that instead of keeping the zip on the SD move it to /Cache!

Here are my steps:

1. Download & put ZIP on SD.

2. Using ES File Explorer with Root I moved the file to /cache NOT system/cache.

3. Boot up in recovery using Volume Up and Volume Down, select Recovery.

4. Select "Update from cache" & select your file

5. Give it time :)

6. Enjoy JB!

NOTE: To preserve root you must use OTA Rootkeeper or the Survival mode on SuperSU

Edit: Survival mode didn't preserve root...
[RAZR HD General] davidjames4:
I think I'm just going to use this time to back up my phone, wipe it, root it and and put on root keeper and wait the few days for my turn for a nice clean update.
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Thanks for that but even using your method I'm getting an error message and it won't install.
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
This should work for Fido, you should try it out though.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Fyi, they did come up with a jelly bean root hack recently. Check the development forum. I don't think you need to apply root before going to JB since you can do it after you update.
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
We really need to figure out how people can install this when they have flashed other ROMs. Even after flashing back to the stock Rogers ROM using RSD Lite I cannot install this update. It's really upsetting. I would have never flashed to a different ROM had I known that you can not go back to stock properly.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

how long do you guys think it will be before we have the full ROM that we can flash in RSD Lite?
[RAZR HD General] Sumanji:
Is there any benefit of flashing the full ROM vs. the update only?

(Obviously apart from being the only option if the update does not work :p)
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
We need someone to post the Fido Jelly Bean update .zip file as the one that we have now only seems to work on Rogers.

I've successfully managed to install the JB zip upgrade. But I lost root using SuperSu's survival mode. I downgraded back to ICS (unlocked BL) and tried again after rooting and protecting root with OTA Rootkeeper and I'm getting the error...
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
My upgrade went fine.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Did you manage to preserve root? If so how :)
[RAZR HD General] Silly22:
Hey all,

When I posted the zip file in the thread in the Android Development forum I didn't mention clearly that it was stored in my /cache folder (at the root directory). And that there was also a file called Blur_Version.7.5.492002.XT925.RCI.en.CA.crc in the same folder. I have no idea if the CRC file will affect the update or not. But it was sitting in that /cache folder too.

I have attached the .crc file to this post but you will have to rename from .txt because I can only attach .txt's here. Also notice, that I had renamed the update zip file from Blur_Version.7.5.492002.XT925.RCI.en.CA.zip to Blur_Version.7.5.492002.XT925-98.21.122002.RCI.en.CA.zip, when I uploaded it to Megaupload, to make sure that it was clear this was the 98.21.122002 update. When I downloaded it over-the-air, it was named the former... So you might want to make it match the former.

No idea if any of that will help but perhaps worth trying putting the CRC in the /cache folder too.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37198865
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Thank you for all that you're doing to help us out, but that still didn't fix it. I re-named the file and added the CRC file and it's still not working.

I'm sure that there is a simple fix. We need to edit a file within the .zip file. Perhaps someone will know more than me about this stuff. What I discovered was that there is a file called "updater_script" within the .zip file in \META-INF\com\google\android. That file contains lines of text that are related to the error we are having. However, even if you delete those 2 lines it still won't install and it gives a different error.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
I tried extracting and repackaging the zip without modifying content and it wouldn't install. That's related to the signatures I believe, there must be something else. As soon as I fastbooted back to ICS I can't go back to JB so it might be related to the ics fastboot. I'll compare my phone (fastbooted) to my moms which is still on the version that came on the phone there might be a difference which is causing the issue

Possible issue : the version of the update is for 7.5.49002.etc whereas fastboot version is 7.5.49003! If anyone can try build.prop edit the system version back to 7.5.49002 I think it should work... please correct me if I'm wrong!
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Is there any risk involved in editing our build.prop back to 002? I will do it so long as it won't brick my phone.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
There's always a risk but I don't think it's a big one if you only change that value. However I'm not 100% sure that this is causing the problem with the update but from what I saw it could very well be simply that

Update: I just tried editing the value with build.prop editor from the Play store and I have no issues. I haven't yet tried updating to JB. After checking out the whole build.rpopr there could be other lines conflicting with the update, once again I will have to compare it with my mom's if I can get my hands on it...

[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
I tried it and it still does not work.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Must be something else then... could you take a pic of the error? I'll try finding a way when I can

Edit: Just noticed another difference in stock rom vs fastboot... Build number is 7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3.49.2 vs fastboot which is 7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3.49. Don't know if this has anything to do with it. I'll try changing it and see what happens
[RAZR HD General] Silly22:
Good luck to you guys, i looked at that script in the meta-inf directory and haven't a clue where you would need to make changes as I don't know what error your update attempts are throwing.
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
Guys, just wait for the Fido release, or the Rogers fastboot. There might be a free other files that have different checksums and the patch will still fail. You can easily brick your phones...

Another thing you could try was to put in a Rogers SIM to see if your build.prop changes to the correct version. The way Rogers/Fido work on this phone is something I've never seem before. Although if you flashed that other Rogers version from the sbf site, you might be SOL, drive it appears that is the wrong version for the update.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
From what I remember of the error, the update doesn't like the SBF's build.prop... I pulled the build.prop from my mom's Razr HD to compare with sbf's and there's a few differences for the versions. Since it's the same device and both are running ICS (with relatively similar builds) I shouldn't have any issues pushing it onto my device correct?
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
how long do you guys think it will be before we have the full ROM? Is there any guarantee that we will even get it?
[RAZR HD General] Sumanji:
Hey,

I just found the problem!

This is the line in the updater causing the issue :

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/XT925_rcica/vanquish_u:4.0.4/7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3-49.2/1347892935:user/release-keys" ||

When it reads the build.prop from the sbf this is what it reads

ro.build.fingerprint=motorola/XT925_rcica/vanquish_u:4.0.4/7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3-49/1346415260:user/release-keys

Original file reads : "# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint" don't think I should be messing with it... but then where's the fun?! :D

I will definitely test this when I can can live without my phone for an hour or so but I'm working on some school projects and need it really badly. If anyone wants to try, I can't be held responsible for anything you do to your device

Thanks to Silly22 : If you hadn't mentioned the meta-inf directory would've taken me a while to figure out I should check in there.

Ok so I edited the "fingerprint" part of my build.prop file to match what the .zip was looking for in the "meta-inf" updater_script file, and I still get the same error. It's a PITA for me to take a picture but the error is mentioning the "fingerprint" part of the build.prop file as being the problem.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
You would have to replace the value of "ro.build.fingerprint" in your build.prop by "motorola/XT925_rcica/vanquish_u:4.0.4/7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3-49.2/1347892935:user/release-keys".
