Not anymore. Try again, my bad.

Thank you, and not a problem.

This update is really nice, everything seems a lot better. I've already debloated and working to get my system completely how I had it. Much love to the guys that found this update too!

Well that was a productive day. Lets see what tomorrow brings. 2.3.7? 4.0.3? Who knows.

I have been messing around with android forever the the instructions and links are missleading/ veague/ incomplete..... I have Tried to flash the new update and used every tool plus downloaded every file possiblke and it just does not work! Could someone post something useful that actually works how they say it does... I don't speak veague so I don't get what I am "doing wrong" when attempting to install! I am on stock updated ota (with root and all bloatware intact) and for some reason it just wont install the unofficial update no matter how I try to do it...

Oh and when trying to install through cm7 I get:

assert failed: mount ("ext3". "myd", "system". "/system")
E:Error in /sdcard/blur_version.6.12.173.xt912.verixon.en.us.zip
(status 7)

Disable safe strap/bootstrap
install voodoo ota rootkeeper and protect su with it
put the update file on your external SD card
Turn off your phone
Hold all 3 buttons and boot into recovery
Select update file
Run voodoo and restore su.
Reenable safe strap

Don't install this with safe strap/cwm. You must install via stock recovery.

Thank you! Very simple easy and in now way veague! Much appreciated!

WEll that was a flop... Now after running the update (and everything looks to have gone well) when I start up and look in system information stuff it says it is still at 2.3.5 (6.11.748.xt912.verizon.en.us) so now what? lol

Not a flop. You flashed the wrong zip. Use the Download link for the update, not the DOWNGRADE!

Make sure you wipe data if the OTA isn't taking from .744 to .748. Make sure to use OTA rootkeeper after wipe though if you want to keep root.

I guess I am wondering if and or when this will be officially released or at least when the next official release will be let loose? This update is tempting but I am trying to be a good boy with this phone.

Probably not this exact version. There are some FC errors that Moto wouldn't release in an official OTA, but they are hard to find. Search button in App Drawer FC's the App Drawer for example. I am personally hoping it is a stepping stone to ICS and won't be an actual update, but we shall see how Moto plays it out. The 6.12.173 is on most of their dev servers and may be ready for a soak test soon enough.

Matt, just to confirm SafeStrap alters the preinstall correct ? So in order to stay stock and on the path after 744-748-173 you cannot install SafeStrap again or you will have to start from the bottom again and upgrade, rather than just downgrading to 748 from 173. Tried to go to 173 from 748 which is stock with the exception of having uninstalled SafeStrap prior to the173 update attempt and it fails the check. Whats the story and is there a work around? Thanks

Note: back to 748 stock nonsafe, 748 Razrx v1.1 safe

[weaponx]

This will eventually get a public release right? As in official release? If that is the case, it will be incorporated into a room eventually right?

[BBEvolution]

It might not, we may go directly to ICS from 748 or 173 might not go official OTA and another build will before ICS hits. IMO
