It dosent say, when the phone reboots to install it there is the droid symbol with a bar showing the progression, when it gets to around 1/3rd done the droid symbol falls over with a exclamation point over it.

You're flashing the update in stock recovery right?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
Umm i dont know exactly what that is, sorry for my ignorance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Are you shutting off the phone, holding all three buttons (both volume and power) use the volume down to select recovery, use volume up to enter it, then hit both volumes at once to enter, finally select choose update from external storage and find your update file. Make sure no custom recoveries are installed when you do this

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
No. Im just downloading it from settings > about phone > System updates and then installing it by just hitting the reboot button after its done
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Alright, and you have no custom recovery installed, right? Also are you on .211 or a different system version?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I dont know what custom recovery is so i dont think so. Uhh on system version on my phone it says 6.16.211, so i suppose so
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Alright I think your best option right now is a factory reset and back up any data you need to keep.

Uninstall all updates on factory apps and triple check and make sure you are running the apps that came on the last build, no mods. This is what caught me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
What are all classified as "mods"?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bladehu2:
install voodoo ota rootkeper - protect root - temp unroot - install JB update - restore root - reboot

that's all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I know but when i go to install the update it fails every time (i have attempted about 5 times)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iguanad:
Did you previously install beats audio? Do you have any system apps frozen or deleted.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
No. i unfroze all my system apps and i dont recall ever deleting any system apps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Merlinos1:
have you done the factory reset now?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
No. If i factory reset wont i lose everything?

Also i tried redownloading the update and it says "download suspeded, will resume shortly
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
You can use titanium backup to save apps and data (I personally relocate the file to the external sd card, have to change the preferences in the app but, no big deal). Backup all internal media, uncheck delete erase internal storage in the factory reset and see what happens (I have always just wiped internal when factory reseting, so I odn't know if it will save internal storage.... but it should)).. Before you do that use voodoo ota rootkeeper to backup root, and make sure it is in your internal storage, and not system(you may need app2sd for that). Unroot, factory reset, if it works, and you still have internal storage, with voodoo app and data, restore root after jb update.

You may have to do what I did, and use RSD Lite to reflash a bonestock ROM ( I hadn't made backups of my modified apps). Reflash the ROM, factory reset, download update, and apply.

If voodoo doens't work, there is already a root exploit for the jb update.... really the only thing you have to worry about is any data in your internal storage, and whether it is backed up or not.

I noticed you aren't very well versed in the needed terminology and are new to flashing and rooting. I highly suggest, if you end up having to go the RSDlite route... watch and read allot of tutorials, and make sure you have the right ROM.... if you do somehting wrong, you can very well brick your phone.

Regardless, starting reading/googling around anyways, this won't be the last time you want to do something but, have no idea how, or get yourself into a jam, and if you need help, you have to be able to tell ppl what you did and what is going on. And have a basic knowledge to understand what they are saying back

Just friendly advise :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JDunc:
You can use Voodoo Rootkeeper to temp unroot and then root your phone again. I fastbooted back to stock ICS then took the OTA and used the new root exploit for Jelly Bean. You will be able to root either way.

Please read the posts in this thread. I am far past that point now. My problem now is i cant install the update, it fails everytime

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
RSDLite fastboot a bonestock ROM is what I had to do... then OTA worked like a charm

Cool...figured I might have to do that....do you have a link to the "bonestock ROM"....haven't had the RAZR long so hadn't stepped into custom ROMS yet so I don't have any of the files, I only rooted. Came from a DROID X so I've got RSD Lite and the SBF files for it just not the RAZR yet. Thanks for you help.

SmilesAsTheyDie...I get an error very similar to that because I removed Slacker Radio (bloatware) so to get that file back on your system so the JB update sees it you may have to follow the same path that I'm going.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Well, Status 7 means either the zip your trying to install is bad, or there is a verification error(modded apk's, or .apks that signatures don't match.)

Either

1. You are able to find the system apk that is causing the issue, fix it, and accept ota.

2. You back up what you can and factory reset, then accept the ota

3. If you straight swapped the original apk with a modded one(like I did) you will have to backup what you can, fastboot a stock ROM, then factory reset, then accept the OTA.

4. fastboot a stock ROM, factory reset, fastboot JB ROM

These are your choices.

I can't remember where I got it, I googled til I found it,... about 812mb... I can upload it to dropbox and give you the link if you want
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
How would i find the system apk that is causing the problem? I dont want to factory reset because loseing everything i have defeats the purpose of even updating
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/71984

I don't know how you would find it, I don't know what you have installed on your phone and given root permissions for... finding them will be pointless if you don't have original backups for them.... example: I had a modified Gmail.apk that was an unverified signature cause I dumped my original, deleting it and installing one off playstore wouldn't/didn't fix my problem, cause gmail, comes as a system.apk on the razr, which means a signature is required, a playstore app will not fix this. Answer?? flash new stock ROM!

Why would it defeat the purpose?? the update is a different OS all together, that is the purpose.... If you backup your apps and data, and uncheck erase internal storage.. if you have to go the long way, you still have everything at the end... backup to a computer to be sure.

And the factory reset might not even work, you may have to reflash your ROM, THEN factory reset, THEN accept ota
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I suppose i will try factory reset. Backing up all my apps now
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
restoring atm
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Look, this is what you sometimes have to deal with having a rooted device, if you are going to have an attitude about it, I will leave to your own devices.

How did you back your apps up? Did you use titanium backup? did you uncheck internal storage before the reset?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
It fixed itself. For some reason everything just failed to show up in my file manager for like 10 mins

That would be great. Email the link to me: kkillion79@gmail.com if you want. Once I download it I'll let you know. Thanks a million.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
Downloaded the update last night after restoring, still failed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Restoring??? What did you restore? Are you talking about the market automatically putting your apps back on the phone, or did you physically restore your apps?? If so, what app did you use?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I restored my apps using titanium backup
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Ok........ look, If you backed up your system files into titanium backup before the reset and then restored them, after the reset, then you basically wasted your time. You don't want the system data saved/reinstalled... cause that is where your problem is if a factory reset will help, and you sure as hell don't want to try to reinstall ICS system data onto a jelly bean ROM.

You really are making this much more difficult then it needs to be.

1. You just need your user apps and data saved through titanium backup, wifi and sms mms, you don't want the rest, if you don't know how to do this, look it up. Make sure tibu backup folder is in a safe place(I keep mine on the ext).

2. Save root to rootkeeper, make sure rootkeeper is in internal storage. Make sure you fully uninstall any custom recovery you have on there, if you don't know how, look it up.

3. factory reset, uncheck wipe internal media

4. setup the phone, don't do a damn thing with TIBU, just make sure OTA voodoo is still there.

5. accept the OTA and try to install it.

6. If it is successful, THEN reroot, and reinstall your apps, NOT SYSTEM DATA if you still have it on there... just user apps and data.

7. If you actually followed all these steps and you don't get jellybean through OTA, try again fully unrooted with root saved with OTA, if that doesn't work, then you will have to flash a fresh ROM
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KKILLION79:
I did run into a problem. I'm currently on the Xmas leak 98.7.8 XT912 version which is JB. So I tried the RSD Lite method with your file Draxin and it detected phone and extracted and began flashing but it eventually failed. It looks like it failed trying to reboot the bootloader. So as I'm reading more and more because I'm on Jelly Bean then I will never be able to flash back to then take the full update. In that case I need to find people that are still on the Xmas build to send me their SlackerRadio apk until the checksum numbers match what my phone is looking for and put it in the system\app folder. So I've been looking for System dumps for the RAZR. If by some chance you have a system dump or still on the Xmas build I'd love to have that apk to try out.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
Just did all that and the update still failed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Yeah, that file was bonestock ICS, and the thread has been about updating from ICS to JB through OTA so I didn't think about asking if you were already on JB

Reflashing the christmas leak should give you what you need.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KKILLION79:
Just found this, downloading now and going to try it out.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
What might i do now to try to get 4.1.2 installed? my phone is still fresh out of factory reset, all it has on it is OTA rootkeeper
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
If you have already been here before...... fresh factory reset, just Rootkeeper on it didn't do anyhtiing else, no recovery or left over hijack, and it still failed the OTA, rooted, and not rooted, then you are missing a signed system app, or have swapped one out wiht one that isn't signed. YOUR best option is to use RSD lite to flash a fresh bonestock ICS ROM onto your phone, factory reset after that, then accept OTA.

If RSD ends up being the way you have to go, you need to follow the directions exactly. Don't play with the phone while it does it's thing, if you accidently unplug it, you can brick it.

If you need the full ROM for flashing I still have it in my dropbox.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
could i use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en to put the rom on my phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
No, that is for/is cwm recovery. You need to flash original MOTOROLA firmware, which would be a fastboot file, and to do that you need the original MOTOROLA utility, which is RSD Lite
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I have this RSDlite thing but it is a .msi file, what am i supposed to do with that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
You are on a windows computer right??? RSDLite has to be used from a computer. If you are on a computer, did you try double clicking it???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
Its installing now. It was acting weird at first and was making it seem like i needed something else to install it.

So once i install this i assume i need to plug my phone in to my computer (with usb debugging mode on?) and put that rom in the program?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
No, right now, what you need to do is start reading tutorials.... also check out youtube, see if they have some tutorials on there. You need to know what you are doing before you do it, and make sure you have the right ROM. If you halfass anything in RSD while trying to flash, if your lucky in won't take. If your unlucky, you will have yourself a complete mess, or a bricked phone. You have to have all recoveries or hints of recoveries gone, and the phone in fastboot, usb debugging on and connected as media not mass storage. You need to read the directions and tutorials, then, read them again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I was just about to try and do this but now my phone is what i think is a bootloop, it is stuck on the diamond like think with the red lighting in the middle. Please how do i fix this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
What did you do prior too the boot loop? Do you have the full xt912 ROM? It is 812 mb
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I think i might have accidently messed with one of the system files, the core.odex one, i dont have the ROM. i dont think its a bootloop, since its not rebooting over and over again but its just staying there and not proceeding anywhere
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Well, now you don't have a choice, you have to reflash the ROM through RSD. hold on and I will send you the link to the one I have in the dropbox. Now you have a xt912 right?

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

you had usb debugging on right, usb switched to media storage?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
yes. Please help, i dont want my phone to be broke.

Also is there no way to acsess the system files in the boot menu? i have a backup of my system files on my PC
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:

Well, this is the zip, after you download it, don't unzip it.

Pretty much rest is up to you now. You have to reboot the phone into fastboot , have it connectd to the computer, and make sure rsd recognzes it in fastboot mode, if it does, then you find the downoaded zip in rsd lite and and press start. let it do it's thing, if it can, did you have full battery? I would read up some more on rsd before, llok at the link I gave you before. So you have a better feel for what to do.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I think my phone was at around 50%, i have my phone in AP Fastboot, its connected to the computer and i have RSD lite pulled up, it recognizes it in fastboot, now im just waiting for that file to download, which it seems like its going to take atleast a hour. The thread you posted makes it seems simple enough. get file > extract in folder > run rsd lite > find file on rsd lite > connect phone in fastboot > start. So i just find that zip file when it gets done downloading on RSD and then hit start.

What if this does not work? is there any other alternate routes?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
I don't know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KKILLION79:
This worked perfectly for me. That link also has the full SBF file for the newest JB update, basically allowing us to flash back in RSD Lite to stock JB. So I'm wondering does Smiles even need the ICS one when he can just go with this one. Plus the Droid RAZR Utility takes care of it all as well, plus ROOT.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Lol, yeah I guess he could.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
I took a nap as it downloaded and when i wook up the download has just finished but my phone had died, i suppose that is good since if i had tried to "flash" the rom or whatever and it went dead it could have done serious damage, phone is charging now
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
Phone charged, i did everything, flash appears to have went through succesfully, now at this point should i try to update to 4.1.2 or re-root (since i lost root) and use OTA rootkeeper?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Take the update!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
How will i re-root afterwards?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
If you still have OTA rootkeeper, that! If you don't, then you can use Dan's exploit, or go to the link that kKillion put up. No matter what, you can get rooted, so that is not a problem, you went through all this to get to jellybean, so get it done. What YOU need to do, is know what you are doing, before you start playing around with system files on a rooted phone. You were lucky, next time you might not be.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
OTA rootkeeper? isent that just for protecting the root during a OTA update? where can i find this dan's exploit?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
http://www.droidrzr.com/

Kkillions link also goes to a utility for the jellybean razr. Rooting razr on jellybean really isn't a big deal now.

I mean, if you were really that concerned, you could reroot on ICS, redo the ota rootkeeper, unroot, then take the update, but that is kind of going the long way.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:
Ok i re-rooted, now for restoring my data. I had backed up all my apps and games data plus my text messages, contacts, and alarms. Am i safe to restore all that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
If on jellybean now, yeah!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SmileAsTheyDie:

Hi guys,

in Germany we got the offical Update from Samsung, the XWLSD for 4.1.2..

The only thing what is missing here, is the shortcuts on the lockscreens. On my first try to flash the new FW over Odin i got a strange thing. I had a CSC error and with this error i got the shortcut option for the lockscreen. But the system was not stable and i flashed new and cleaned the system.

Now the shortcuts are missing and ive got no option for them in the lockscreen settings. It seems that samsung dont want this nice option for us in germany :/ .

Is it possible to activate the shortcuts on a other way? Would be awesome when we could get it on the XWLSD.

I searched for this problem a lot, but couldnt find anything that goes in this direction, and im not so safe in modding the system by my own.

Hope someone could help me/ others with this problem in the original FW from samsung.
