OFFICAL OTA .zip Installation Guide Droid Razr & Razr Maxx

[rda990]

Use this method if you haven't gotten the OTA prompt yet or your wi-fi/3G/4G is too slow to download it.

READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEPS

YOU MUST BE STOCK STOCK STOCK 2.3.6/6.12.181.XT912 FOR THIS TO WORK

If you have installed Safestrap or Bootstrap, uninstall them.
If you are rooted, unroot.

IF YOU BRICK, DON'T PANIC, DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T CALL VERIZON TO SEND YOU A NEW PHONE, READ THE BOTTOM OF THE POST TO UNBRICK YOUR PHONE
(You'll know it's bricked when you're waiting about 20 Minutes in the red "Dual Core" boot up screen)

If you reboot back into GB, make sure again, you are 100% stock, no root, nothing, and try these steps again. For some it's taken doing these steps about 2 times to work 100%.

Want to be 100% SURE you WON'T brick or have any errors or problems? Or simply want to make sure you're 100% stock? Follow the guide below (Just as if your phone is BRICKED)

Last thing, make sure battery is 100% CHARGED FULLY, if it isn't charge it until it gets to 100% charge.

Files needed:

4.0.4 / 6.16.211.XT912 Update ----------> Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip (TORRENT DOWNLOAD) (MIRROR 1) (MIRROR 2) (Thanks computerfixer412!) (MIRROR 3)

(Don't worry if the name of the .zip is 6.12.181, it's supposed to be that way, it means that's the VERSION you are coming from)

Steps to Update to ICS

1. Download the official OTA "Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip " file from above.

2. Place the file downloaded in step one into the ROOT of your EXTERNAL SD card. (DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE)

3. Turn off phone.

4. Go into recovery by pressing and holding the Volume Up (+), Volume Down (-), and Power button all three at the same time. (Press and hold all physical buttons.)

5. The menu will come up and select "Recovery".(Volume Down key to go down and Volume Up key to SELECT/ENTER Recovery.)

*The Android and Exclamation mark logos will come up*

6. Press both Volume Up (+) and the Volume Down (-) buttons at the same time. Release.

7. With the Volume Down (-) button go down to "Wipe CACHE partition" and press the Power button to select it. DO THIS TWICE (Don't worry your data will not get erased by wiping the cache.) (Thanks smmfc)

8. With the Volume Down (-) button go down to "Apply Update from SDCard" and press the Power button to select it.

9. Volume Down (-) go to the “Blur_Version.6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip” and select it with the Power button. (This is the one we put in the External SD in Step 2.)

10. It will take a while to upgrade, mine isn't even done yet and I started it when I started to write Step 1

11. Once it is done, go to "Reboot system now."

12. Official ICS, Enjoy!!! =D

Once it's your first time starting ICS, it WILL take a while to load up, it is normal, it will also be "Optimizing applications" at first start up.

Following these directions bricked my Razr, I'm in the middle of trying to recover with Matt's tool 1.6 now.

This particular update failed on install, something about an error in /tmp/sideload.pkg or something.

Edit: I double-checked hashes in case of a corrupt download; they all match.
Double-edit: I was on stock 2.3.6 / 6.12.181.XT912.

Triple-edit: after some research you have to be rooted for this to work. That would have been good to know.

something about an error /tmp/sideload.pkg
Status 7

rebooted and was able to load up gingerbread fine.

Same here...

Hmm the hashes were correct so it couldn't of been the file.

Are either of you two rooted? Bootstrap? Safestrap? You just don't uninstall the app, you also have to uninstall bootstrap/safestrap WITHIN the app itself. I've searched that error and has happened before, a fix I saw was to wipe cache in recovery before updating.

stealthy45 "soft bricked" and Bakerboy448 rebooted fine into gingerbread, both with the same error. Check that you are completely 100% stock.

Softbrick here...

Stock phone, never been rooted.

Same issue soft bricked
