Thanx for your replies dmb. I'm not a guru with this phone stuff so I may ask stupid questions. I'm not sure what side loaded is. But I installed the zip on my SD card and put the phone in recovery and installed from there. If that means I can't do the same with .41 how do I get back to ICS so I can install .41?

There are no stupid questions on DF. All questions are welcome and there are tons of wonderful people that are great at helping.

If it has not been developed yet, then I'm sure a way to return to stock ICS will be developed in a matter of days so that those who installed the leak will be able to get the official OTA JB. Either that or the official .41 zip will be available and can be installed the same as the .39.

No problem! If you don't ask questions, you won't find any answers! Side loading is installing the .zip from recovery (which you did). Reverting back to ICS is a fairly easy process. Here is a utility tool that you can use to get you back to ICS:

DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.00 [Windows] - DroidRzr.com

Make sure that you read all of the instructions, and know that the tool will erase your internal data (not data on your SD card).

Great Thanx. One more question. When you say internal data what exactly does that entail?

[TisMyDroid]

Thanks dmbatcofc for answering the ultimate question (that I didn't have the answer to). :-)

You will lose all of your apps, phone settings, etc. If you've saved any pictures or music to your device and not a SD, you will lose that data too. Essentially it reverts your phone to how it was when you purchased it.

My pleasure! Always willing to lend out a helping hand to a fellow Droider!

It will erase everything (apps, texts, call logs, pics etc) that is not on your removable sdcard, making your phone like it was brand new.

As a guide for ideas when backing up and restoring texts, call logs, data, etc before reverting back to stock, see:

wow, well i definately dont wanna do that. ill wait till i can streamline the update, hopefully someone will come out with a way to do that. whats the difference bt .39 and .41? cant be anything major

[TisMyDroid]

It is probably very minimal...might have a few bug fixes or it could be that it only has bloat (those unnecessary apps that Verizon forces on us) that was not included in .39 ... once the official OTA is out, we should hear what some of those differences may be.
