That's the error I'm getting. I know it's hard to read. Taking a picture of a phone is a PITA and I don't know how to do it.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

Yep I did that and still no dice. I think we might be screwed until the full ROM comes out. Any ETA on the full ROM? How long does this process usually take? I might go back to the Telstra JB ROM as I'm getting frustrated with troubleshooting this now. We need someone that really knows what they are doing to help us. I'm an amateur.

Hey you know what I'm noticing - whenever I reboot, my build.prop "fingerprint" line is reverting back to what it said previously despite the fact that I did edit it to match the updater_script! This is probably the problem. How can we make the change permanent so we can flash?
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
Root?

Did you have and maintain root? If not have you been able to get root in JB?
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Root in JB is simple. You just flash it in CWM.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Hm alright then... I guess I'll have to wait too thx for trying hehe

I think we're really close to solving this. Please let me know if you have any more ideas.
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
Root...

Okay, thanks. I'm not yet at the point of unlocking the bootloader and installing CWM. I currently have root on stock ICS without bootloader unlock. As my phone is only 4 days old, I haven't decided to voluntarily void my warranty yet.

If it is possible to keep root throughout the upgrade, I would move to JB.
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
You need the original firmware on your device to flash. The problem is that the firmware that's posted on sbf.droid-developers.org isn't the shipped firmware, it seems to be a different firmware. You need to be on 7.5.492002.XT925.RCI.en.CA, but you are on a different firmware, 7.5.49003.XT925.RCI.en.CA.

It's possible the fingerprint is written during the boot up sequence by boot.img or something else we don't know.

I think the best thing to do at this point is to wait until the firmware team finds the JB release and hopefully it will be the same version.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
I ran out of ideas lol I'll keep thinking about it but I think danifunker is right we're gonna be stuck waiting

[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
yeah but there has got to be a way to do this. They are both running on the same version of ice cream sandwich.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
I just edited my build fingerprint and its sticking through boots I will install ota rootkeeper and I'll try ;)

Edit: I didn't get the build.prop error, now its something about the first all that gets flashed... will have to mess with the upgrade script to see if I can make it ignore the versions installed and have it overwrite no matter which version is installed... doesn't sound very safe though lol if fastboot shows up by the time I get to it I'll just sbf up to JB but I can't help but wonder... how are we gonna keep root if we fastboot to JB?!

[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
you flash root using clockworkmod. I'm glad to see that you're making progress. I will try to do the same thing that you just dId and keep plugging away.

---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

So I got creative and edited the .zip file to match my build.prop and now it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". :(
[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
The way these updates work is by patching each file individually. Let's say you had a file with the following contents:

This is a test fine.
Line two
Important information
02/02/2012

And the patch wanted to update the date in the file to 02/02/2013. Instead of the patch replacing the entire contents of the file it would be more efficient to replace one character. The patch program takes the checksum of the file and compares it to what it's expecting. Imagine if the date in the file was off by 1 year. Well that file would have a different checksum. Now take this method and apply it to binary files, boot.img, radio.img, etc...

This is why I'm saying its really dangerous to try to override this stuff. Your builds are totally different and I wouldn't be surprised if the boot.img its totally different... But with Motorola everything is tied with signatures, so you devtree.bin and you boot.img are tied together so if you change one you'll need the same signed signature which its impossible unless we have the correct firmware from the firmware team..
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
I hadn't thought about that... hmmm... but since its a big-ish update wouldn't it be simpler to only replace the different files? I guess I should just give up then haha

[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
After applying JB my /system folder is 679.62mb... So we're talking more than double, plus we didn't count new recovery, boot and radio files :).

Trust me... these OTA patches are issued as differentials for a good reason.
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
I've given up and gone back to the Telstra Jelly Bean ROM. I really hope someone finds the full Rogers Jelly Bean ROM because otherwise all of us who flashed custom ROMs are screwed and will never have the official Jelly Bean update. :(
[RAZR HD General] itzik_man:
I posted this today at 1:00 pm in the Development section.

Now if we can't change the JB version (7.5.492002), why not someone with the 7.5.492002 ICS stock version on his Rogers xt925, upload & update our firmware repository replacing the current version in our repository, which is 7.5.49003
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Perhaps you should post instructions on how to do this. I didn't even realize it was possible. Good idea by the way.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
If anyone could get an update.zip for it would be great... doubt that possible though, but then the fastboot would be the next best thing... but since they're already working for the jb fast boot why bother with the ics?

[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Wasn't that just the build.prop file? I don't think they have what they need yet.

If you're desperate for JB, just install the Telstra ROM and drop in the Rogers "modem" and "FSG" files, and edit the .xml. It works great. The only thing that doesn't work is LTE tethering.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
Yeah a member uploaded them so I'm hoping it shows up soon & for Telstra I don't feel like going through all the trouble of re-flashing with rogers later on

Sent from my XT925
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Just install an app to backup all your apps and you're good to go. It take me 5 minutes to re-flash and maybe another 10 minutes to get all my apps back, but it's all automated. Google backs up all your contacts and stuff anyway.

Version discrepancy between Rogers 4.0.4 & 4.1.2

This is a theory only: In our repository Rogers 4.0.4 is this version =

"4.0.4 7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3-49 1346415260"

In the 4.1.2 link upgrade posted in Development the version I found a line with reference to version =

"4.0.4/7.7.1Q-144_VQL_S3-49.2/1347892935"

Maybe this why, the users that installed other ROM's and then went back to Rogers stock using the ROM in our repository, can't install the 4.1.2 upgrade and maybe, we will never get an OTA update from Rogers (because the OTA is checking the previous version compatibility).
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
that's exactly what I previously said, I tried fixing it by changing the number but then it checks every single file it wants to update so it's safer to either just wait for the JB fastboot or get the right ICS fastboot. Either way Pzyduck has the files so hopefully we get them soon :D
[RAZR HD General] Motorolalover:
I recently updated my phone to jelly bean. I was having some problems with the GPS so i tried factory resetting the phone. Now i am stuck with the Moto logo. Recovery doesn't work and secondly when i boot the phone using factory. It boots but then when i again reboot it the phone starts with android creeper loading the data and then it fails. Now i am stuck. If anybody knows the solution. please let me know. So don't factory reset after getting JB. As someone suggested earlier... reset the phone before the update.
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
The quick solution would be to unlock your bootloader and flash a ROM. Then you would lose the Rogers JB update though, plus it voids your warranty. I don't know how else you could fix it though aside from RMAing your phone. I know Rogers and Fido will not re-flash your phone for you. They really should release the ROMs; it benefits everyone involved.

No I can guarantee you Rogers & Fido have the same builds, I had 49.2 before flashing JB and then when using the fastboot I was at 49. I remember it properly I had the exact same information than my mom's phone, which is Fido but mine is Rogers

[RAZR HD General] danifunker:
My phone is a Rogers branded RAZR HD, and it was originally running Blur_Version.7.5.492002.XT925.RCI.en.CA.

I have a feeling that depending on the SIM card loaded, a different system version may appear on the phone. Have you been able to locate 492002 yet? If it is labeled as Rogers or Fido, I don't think it will matter as many users would need the Fido one as much as the Rogers one. :)

Also, please look at the getprop output from the Rogers ICS firmware in one of my prior posts in this thread, I was also running the -2 version. Thanks!
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
Good luck getting LTE tethering working on anything other than an official Rogers ROM.

Fido/Rogers ROMs adjust your APNs depending on your sim. Also they are identical except for the bloat and APNs.

[RAZR HD General] Silly22:
Perhaps there is some confusion between which ICS build was actually delivered on which provider...

I can positively say that my phone is a Rogers branded phone NOT a Fido phone, and you can see from the screenshot in my original post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37346162&postcount=237 about getting the notification to update that I was running build 7.5.492002. You can also see that I was on the Rogers network (though that may mean nothing, I haven't ever chosen a different network on this phone). The .zip file I uploaded was for my Rogers phone to go from 7.5.492002 to 98.21.122002

I agree the builds are different, but perhaps it's reverse? i.e. 49.2 ICS came with the Rogers handsets, and 49 ICS came with the Fido handsets?

In either case it would be great to have both ICS builds for fastboot images:

The one we have available now, thanks to Pzyduck, Blur_Version.7.5.49003.XT925.RCI.en.CA

and

the image that saloums7 and SickBeast need among potentially others, Blur_Version.7.5.492002.XT925.RCI.en.CA

Of course having the JB fastboot image of 98.21.122002 would be best! Do you need me to submit my build.prop, default.prop and screenshot, Pzyduck?

I was finally able to get into recovery and did a factory reset from there and it worked. :) Finally it resolved.

What Triggers an OTA Update?

I hope that someone could educate me. I've almost exclusively used unlocked android devices running CWM to ensure that I have no bloat. As such, updating goes along with updated CWM versions.

However, with my new XT925 I'm not about to void my warranty to unlock the bootloader so I was hoping to rely on regular stock version updates like this upgrade to JB. The thing is I am not going to use the phone on Rogers or Fido, but Koodo. I haven't yet switched to a Koodo micro-SIM, but I have old Bell, Rogers and Fido SIMs that I have cut to size. I've been able to unlock the phone with the Bell SIM, but none of them are active any more. Inactive Rogers and Fido SIMs are not triggering an OTA update.

My question is, do I need a Rogers or Fido SIM (active) in the phone to get the OTA updates? I'm not about to sign up for a Rogers/Fido plan just to get an update.
[RAZR HD General] saloums7:
OTA updates don't depend on the SIM but on the software installed on the device. As long as you have a data connection you can receive the OTA.

Mine looks exactly like yours except for the AP Flex version. Mine says:

After reading all of the people on this thread who tried these steps and failed to update to JB, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm with Rogers, and the device is not rooted. Last time I remembered, it was running 4.0.4.

You might need to flash back to stock.
[RAZR HD General] salamahoy:
Please let me know how to do that! Much appreciated!
[RAZR HD General] biKF:
Not looking good...

I guess we will have bide our time until we have a proven method for the update. Sorry for your troubles. :(
[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
1. unlock your bootloader. you do this directly through motorola. note that this voids your warranty.

2. download rsd lite.

3. download the rogers ics rom from the ics "superthread" in the android development forum

4. using 7zip or something, open up the .zip of the rogers rom, and find the .xml file inside. open it with notepad. you will see a line of text that says "getvar". you need to delete that line along with the 1 or 2 lines of text that come after it (i'm sorry, i forget if it's 1 or 2 and exactly what they say)

5. save that .xml file to your desktop or wherever and then add it to the .zip file, overwriting what was already there.

6. flash the rogers rom in rsd lite. you will need your phone to be in fastboot mode for this. to do this, power off your phone, then hold the volume up key and press power until a white menu appears. then use volume down to go to "fastboot", then use volume up to select it. after that your phone will show up in rsd lite and you can flash the rom

7. profit.

please note that this is just from my memory and i'm not responsible if anything goes wrong. also note that you won't be able to update to rogers jelly bean until the community obtains the files.

what i would suggest, if you want, is to download the telstra jelly bean rom from the jelly bean superthread in android development, and then overwrite the "modem" and "fsg" files in it with the ones in the rogers rom i just told you about. then you just delete the "getvar" line from the .xml and you're golden with a clean and un-bloated jelly bean rom. the only thing that does not work is lte tethering which i can live with. the only thing you need to set up is your apn when you're done.

good luck and i hope that helps you out!
[RAZR HD General] salamahoy:

[RAZR HD General] SickBeast:
you need root and you use es file explorer. go into the root settings to enable root and to allow you to browse up to the root folder of the phone's memory. you just drop the file into the cache folder.

Make sure you enable rooted mode on ES, but before you waste your time make sure your on .492002, you can only apply the update from that firmware.
