jb update just received on my razr?

[jpcalhoun]

I hope you are correct and that I will be able to receive the next OTA update while on the .215 leak. I am not rooted. Nobody really knows the answer to this until the next OTA update is released. I've read both that it will and won't work.

If the update that comes out OTA is system version .215 you probably won't receive a notification. If the OTA that comes out IS NOT .215, lets say it is .220 then you will not be able to get the update. OTA's look for the latest system version, in this case it is .211. If your phone has a different system version the OTA will not download and install correctly. Just a recommendation... if you are rooted on .211 hen unroot or use Voodoo Rootkeeper and temporarily unroot to get the OTA. If you are on .215 (rooted or unrooted) I would restore back to stock .211 and get the official OTA update even if the official update is system version .215. If the OTA is not .215 then diffidently restore back to .211 and take the OTA.

I always error on the safe side. It is always best to have the OTA "official" update on your phone. If you have .215 leak and don't take the official OTA you may encounter problems when the update for the "official" .215 or upgrade to Jelly Bean comes out. It doesn't take much to go back to stock .211 with the RazrUtility. Yes, you will have to save your personal data (pics, music etc) and install all your 3rd Party apps, but you will have a clean phone and official system software on your phone to work from. Anything less is a risk.

Aw mann,i need a better explaination n pls bare with me lol.so basically without a pc youll be hearin crickets?i hope whoever or even knows how to revert bck to 211 without a laptop.(crossin my fingers if i do decide when jb rolls out)

Sorry, I missed the fact you don't have a PC. You may be OK with the leaked .215. Without a PC you can't get back to stock .211...at least I don't know of a way. Keep your fingers crossed...I hope you'll be OK.

Just a recommendation...without a PC I'd never flash a leaked system software/update. If the flash goes bad, for whatever reason, you could very likely get stuck in a bootloop...or worst. Flashing sounds exciting but it doesn't always go as plan. Without a PC...you are taking a risk.

So flashing back to the .211 OTA (using the Razr Utility) is similar to a factory default reset in that I will lose all information on my phone (pics & videos)?
