OFFICAL OTA .zip Installation Guide Droid Razr & Razr Maxx

[rda990]

Hey guys, I feel I have a bit of a unique experience here (albeit didn't read the whole thread) in that I didn't need Matt's app. I followed the OP's instructions to a T and it bricked. I simply went back and did it again and it worked. That was it. This was an unrooted, pretty much stock Maxx...

Thanks this is exactly what i needed, once you brick simply go into recovery right after the first install fails, and it will go through 100%, Matt's utility not needed. let me find one more person succeeding with this method and i will put it in the OP.

Got it fixed! Tricked my phone into thinking it was charged when starting it up. Got my ICE CREAM SANDWICH! Thanks everyone!

How??? I still can't get mine to work. I've been messing with this all day long. I don't have any other backup phone so I HAVE to get this one working

Can anyone explain why we would get Slingbox added without the option to remove? That app requires you have the slingbox hardware (which I do not). I have disabled it, but why wouldn't this be allowed to just remove. I prefer my Vulkano box and app!

So, this is my first time in ICS with the RAZR...The Home Button and Search button capacitive buttons do not work correct? At least on mine they don't...so assuming that is the ICS design...

@rda990 My icon never changed after my reboot and going back into recovery, but did work the second time. The icon on my phone (razr maxx, stock, never rooted) was the Android with the file folder and an arrow coming out of the folder for both instances. I got a fail with a zero the first round, but after fail on the reboot I went directly back into recovery. Same icon, did cache wipe, then install from SD and it worked perfectly.

I think one of the key things is to not allow the phone to attempt a full boot if you fail!

Perfect thanks, it all makes sense now, we were talking about this a couple pages back. This means the FIRST installation is SUPPOSED to fail, then make sure to not allow a fullboot, go into recover and flash again. Profit =D

Still bricked with low battery....

This is depressing....

I can confirm, this is the same experience I had on a stock, unrooted Maxx.

Thanks rda990

Doesn't work for me. Is this because I've been bricked too long now?

Anyone else getting the random offset message during installation? It's different each time I get it?

Still bricked with low battery FYI

Never try an update with low battery.
