These instructions will get you back to a WORKING
ROOTED
Jelly Bean Razr/Maxx instead of a warm brick in your pocket
I am in no way trying to steal anyone's thunder but I wanted to update HOW to get back to a working JB if you get errors or try to roll back to ICS (which we all know you shouldn't do). I have read many threads and tried so many variables to now have a perfect solution. This spawned from d4vr0s --> http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...cked-after-reverting-jelly-bean-update-3.html
Tested on my personal Droid Razr XT912 US - Verizon (multiple, multiple times). I used the following to update it to Jelly Bean - [Leaked-Ota][Cdma][4.1.2] Jelly Bean 98.72.8 (12/27/12) - xda-developers. All hell broke loose when I tried to re-root (with methods that WERE WARNED) and blew up/bricked/softbricked my razr.
BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
- Have a copy of Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US on your external hard drive. Make sure it is a fresh/clean copy. Dev-Host - Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service
- Download MD5Checker here - MD5 Checker - CNET Download.com and make sure the hash = "c8772dc305d0de94d6e977fb51f3eac5"
- Download Matt's 1.82 utility here - http://batakang.com/ftp/DROID_RAZR/DroidRazrUtility1.82.zip
- With a lovely FUBARed razr/maxx boot into recovery mode
- Run "wipe data/factory reset"
- Run "wipe cache partition"
- Reboot phone and select "AP Fastboot"
- Run Matt's 1.82 utility on your phone, choose option 1. (Boot.img will fail but it is ok)
- Power off, wait 3 seconds and power on. You will boot into Android configuration. (5 minutes)
- Once the config is done you will see the red M boot logo and then a black screen. Force boot into recovery
- Run "wipe data/factory reset"
- Run "wipe cache partition"
- Select "apply update from external storage" and select "Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip" (10 minutes)
- Run "wipe data/factory reset"
- Run "wipe cache partition"final time

UPON COMPLETION/TESTING ROOT WORKS
I highly recommend installing Safestrap 3.11 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391875. Run a full backup and you can sit back and enjoy a working Jelly Bean phone (finally)...
