Well it's Friday. and I both pulled this update early yesterday morning (very shortly after it was compiled) so I want to make sure that he gets mentioned. After the shenanigans of last release we're sure of install method this time around. New build for you checking in @ ~350 megs (yeah. that's about 100 megs smaller than the last leak). I've been playing with it since yesterday morning and it's definitely cleaner. Moto's definitely been working hard to get this ready to go.
This is a leak for users currently on 6.12.181.XT912. IT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT INSTALL COMING FROM ANY OTHER BUILD/VERSION. As usual, we at droidrzr.com are not responsible for any errors, bricked units, thermonuclear war, etc related to anything posted on this site. You accept all responsibility for your actions by using these files and agree that you're not going to swap out your unit with VZW/Moto/Insurance when you screw it up.
Changes from previous build:
- SPEED. It's way smoother and faster
- New kernel
- New CDMA radio (LTE remains the same)
- When receiving a call, there's a new button in addition to your answer/ignore so that you can respond with a text.
- I'll add more as I find them
Installation is NOT RSD/Fastbootable. - Files were pulled for this reason. Only some people are successful.
Voodoo protects root during upgrade process.
Known Issues
- Battery charge information will report incorrectly after reboots most times. Solution: Don't reboot the phone very often. If you charge/discharge it, it will fix itself. - Need verification on new build. May be fixed. Please comment.
- Outbound Calling/Texting/Data while roaming are not possible. Solution: No known fix - Need verification on new build. May be fixed. Please comment.
- Mass storage mode cannot be disabled (possible security risk). Solution: No known fix
- Mass storage is enabled even through lock screen (previously would not mount until you unlocked the phone). Again. Security risk. Solution: No known fix
For those having install issues. Please do not post here saying you're having XYZ problem until you've done the following:
1) Use RSD and go back to 744 or 173 depending what files you have available. I would say use Matt's utility but there are too many versions floating around and some people are having hit or miss results with it. My guess is people are using the wrong options when using it. As RSD has no options for you to screw up and will just blanket nuke everything, I suggest that route.
2) You have executed a factory wipe immediately before or after the above step. I'm sorry. But whatever issues you're having could be related to your current setup and/or data. Get rid of it and start over.
3) You have re-read and COMPLETELY understand the steps listed in this OP. There are many people asking questions that have answers clearly stated in this OP.
For those having issues restoring root with voodoo after install go .
Install Instructions:
1) Download Files pulled. (right-click and save as if you have issues downloading either of these 2 files) and make sure you're above 60% charge. The update takes a while to install and you don't want it to die mid-update. Trust me. Safestrap/Bootstrap must be disabled.
File verification info: MD5: ae998251292cc5323872d868099d7461
2) Make sure you have ROM Manager, ES File Explorer (Make sure root access and system writable are enabled in the ES file explorer settings), and have root access to your system but are on an otherwise stock COMPLETELY UNMODIFIED installation of 181. In ROM Manager, DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORKMOD. Just have the ROM Manager app itself installed.
2a) If you plan to retain root after the update, update the Superuser.apk via the market and open the app and go to options/preferences (depending on your version) make sure your binary is up to do date in preferences (3.0.3.2+). Also make sure you have voodoo OTA Rootkeeper protecting your root after those updates before proceeding. I personally used motofail to root once I got to 173. I didn't bother rooting til I got there as it's not required and when I RSD it takes me all the way down to 744.
3) Copy the 2 files from step 1 into your /cache folder on the root of your system.
4) When the copy operation is complete, using ES File Explorer, tap the zip file in your cache directory and select ROM Manager when it asks you what to use to open the file.
5) ROM Manager will automatically open and prompt you that a reboot is necessary to complete the operation. Hit OK/Accept.
6) The system will reboot and install the ICS leak.
7) Profit.
