Using utility 1.7 do I run option #2 to get back to full stock .211. I am on rooted 211 with safe strap and took the OTA ics. Thanks for the help.

yes, with .211 zip file on ext sd card, run option two let it finish, boot into moto recovery factory reset then install .211

So just running option #2 won't put me on stock .211, I have to put the file on ext. SD card? I know in version 1.6 you could flash to full stock on GB, was just hoping that would do the same without the file.

read the op and instructions

[ridgerunner665]

DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT....but I think you'd need option 9 for that.

And don't forget to put the .211 file on your external SD card BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE!

If I'm wrong somebody please tell me...that's why I'm here (to learn).

no if you are already on .211 and are trying to restore back to stock .211 run option 2 let it do its thing then it will tell you to boot into moto recovery. Boot into moto recovery do a factory reset, apply update from external storage( .211 zip file) let it install reboot then you will be back to stock .211. I have done this method over and over going back and forth from .211 to .214

[ridgerunner665]

Thank you....I was just reading the OP again and figured out I was wrong. I appreciate the explanation...

That's what I'm getting ready to do, thanks for the help. I knew it was option #2 just making ng sure about the file. Thanks.

Even with 1.6, you were still using the .181 fb file to flash back to stock... it was just incorporated into the utility's files. For some reason that I'm not sure of, this isn't able to be done with .211 fb file, which is why you need to place it on your external sd card.

[nordman23]

probably not the correct place to ask this but im going to explain my situation and see if you guys can help. I was trying to get install ota ics but it continually failed so i decided to use the (VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml) fastboot files but of course in the middle of flashing "low battery" soft bricked the phone but I was able to get that fixed and finally flashed correctly. I updated the software 3 times without issues and then came the ics ota and I tried installing it...worked perfectly up until when the phone was setting up and gave the message "starting applications" it continued to give this message for 8 hours at least and I decided to shut off the phone. It is now in AP Fastboot Flash Mode (flash Failure) Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0. I can get into Moto Recovery and wipedata/cache but that didnt do anything. It will not flash either, i get the message "Failed flashing process. 6/18 flash cdt.bin -> Phone returned FAIL. When i try to just do a regular reboot it gets stuck on the Dual Core technology Moto screen. When I try to run the razrutility it tells me INFOPreflash failure validation failure when writing the 'cdt.bin' and also when it is writing the 'devtree'. Okay i know that was long guys but i dont know what else to do please help!!

[lifeontheedge324]

So does anyone know if there is a way to overclock the new kernel yet? Or is it too early to have anything considering the locked bootloader?

[TheFezalex]

Thank you for your work! I am running .211 on the RAZR and I can confirm that the transition from rooted Gingerbread to rooted .211 ICS was very easy and without problems. ICS is running very fast and smooth!

However, I must warn those who use the WiFi Tether on gingerbread, that once you upgrade to rooted ICS (I have only tried on .211) WiFi Tether will NOT work because ICS prevents the Ad Hoc from fully deploying. Nevertheless, you can use unrooted apps like FoxFi to still tether your razr. (If FoxFi gives you problems and your computer can't find the signal, just simply ==> force stop it, clean the app data and reboot your phone -- if you want to change the network name and put a password, be sure to change the name and password before "activating WiFi Hotspot"... if you don't do that, you will have to repeat the force stop, clean, reboot process spelled above...)

So if you LOVE your Wifi Tether in Gingerbread, think carefully before upgrading to ICS.

Once again, thank you for the great work! Keep it up.

okay i ran the 1.7 utility, flashed 6.16.211.img file, then i chose option 2. Everything runs smoothly and then it gets to the end and says to reboot into recovery and flash .211 but I CANNOT GET INTO RECOVERY!!! it just goes back to "Invaild Flash Mode" and says "Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop): Invalid SP Data" and "Invalid CG Version (CG: webtop)" and "Invaild CG OTV (CG:webstop)" any help would be appreciated guys

[damdiknutrazr]

this might be a dumb question, but is there any reason for me to download voodoo rootkeeper, bootstrap recovery, and safestrap recovery after rooting the phone?

Only use one or the other when it comes to bootstrap and safestrap, they dont play nice together. You only need those if you want a custom rom and I think most of them require safestrap for ICS. You shouldnt need rootkeeper until a new OTA comes out I think.

Awesome thank you, so is there much development done with ICS for the Razr yet or not? I really just want to be able to do free wi-fi hot spot/ tethering and get rid of all the bloat apps that came with the phone.

Enjoy that beer I just bought you Matt ...you've earned it.

[swiftd03]

OK, third post on the same issue so I am really hoping you guys can help me out. I keep getting an: error: more than one device and emulator error every time I try to run the rooter. This is a stock Razr with the OTA upgrade already done. I have factory reset the phone and I have tried everything I can think of on 2 computers but still no go. Anyone have anything that could help?

[brunoerf]

Hey Mat, i have a doubt about htis update, it can be used in any version/region of razr? like mine Mot razr from Middle east

[aotechs]

I also cannot access the stock Android recovery. I have tried sbf and different versions of Matt's utility. I receive an error of cg failure or boot failure depending on which utility version/option I select from the menu. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I was flashing from a rooted version of 2.3.6 with safestrap. I did remove root and safestrap before flashing.
