Yeah "it's not a joke".....isn't that exactly what one would say on April 1st when applying an April fools day joke?

I'll post a screenshot later.

If I have a launcher, such as "Go Launcher", should I remove it prior to going ICS?

Thank you

[BigDaddyHicks]

Thank you

Very welcome!
I updated and everything and I had apps installed.

[Armus]

are we still thinking April 4 is the actual release date?

[Nanniepoo]

The people who have updated, was that ota or cheesecake? Wondering if I should go back to stock now or wait until wednesday...

[tsetsefly]

To complete this OTA ICS update on :

• Android 2.3.6
• System 6.12.173.XT912
• Rooted
• Safestrap
• Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper

Is this all I need to do, or do I have to get rid of safestrap and revert back to some stock state (steps? )
1) temp un-root
2) install OTA

Thanks!

It is almost guaranteed that this leaked version will not be on the 4 th. Every ota to this point had been pushed about a month after the build date because it had to pass through verifications and approval by Verizon. This leak has as build date of last Sunday so if it is pushed as official it would likely be late April. Now there could be an ics ota this week that has an earlier build date and just never got leaked but it won't be this leaked version for sure.

A lot of users are losing root even with rootkeeper because they are not using the temp unroot option. If you back up root, temp unroot, install ota, then restore root, it works. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Xparent Purple Tapatalk

not completly true. i did it twice by temp unrooting, then this last time i forgot to temp unroot untill i was already installing it. i still tryied to see if it would work and i now have root.
Seems like obtaining root is a hit or miss kinda thing right now. im sure there will be a easier root method soon, or after the official OTA.

Did you try the terminal commands to get root back? Worked for me.

[20ripley]

When the official OTA comes out I'm going back to stock 173.

The cheesecake leak probably won't be the same as the official OTA or soak.

WHHHAATTTT???

I tried that this morning (saw the tweet from dhacker). When I send the first command (/system/su-backup)
it says 18898 cannot locate '_mktemp'... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE. But I see my su backup in the system folder (using root explorer).

Maybe I am not typing in the correct thing in terminal. Here is what I followed:

/system/su-backup
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/system /system
cp /system/su-backup /system/bin/su

Is this exactly what you typed? This is the first time I have used android terminal emulator so maybe I am doing it wrong?

This is a screen of exactly what I did, when I did it.

That looks like the same method I did but I am getting and error after the '/system/su-backup' command. It says :
reloc_library[1289]: 7921 cannot locate '_mktemp'... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

But I have a feeling I know why. Because the last time I cheescaked, I did not click "Temp Unroot" before installing the leak. I did the Temp Unroot two times before that but I know I did not do it that last time because people kept telling me not to click Temp Unroot before installing. So because I did not select Temp Unroot the last time, it is saying '_mktemp' cannot be located (which I believe is the temp unroot file). Oh well. lol

I never temp unrooted either.

There won't be any difference. Version is staying the same. They're not spending anymore time or money on this.

[ghoticov]

ugh.... i have no idea why mine isnt working then. i am typing the excst same first command as you are.

[outsider2011]

I have a question..i have voodoo ota root keeper..im reading that others have safestrap and other things..all i have is bootstrap for razr and ota root keeper...will this be all i need? Plus im on eclipse v.1.3..

[mopar57]

Your going to have to go back to stock, so off eclipse.

your fine with bootstrap, and ota rootkepper...so make sure you protect root and then temp unroot before upgradeing.

[Giblet535]

I think I see the problem.

RSD is the best route. You need to restore a lot of data that is wiped when putting Eclipse on. No amount of wiping more data will make the original data come back You MIGHT be able to get away with flashing a stock ROM in CWM, but RSD is the most reliable way.
