Sorry guys not real bright on this subject.
I want to install the Arctic ROM. Should I install the OTA update first or can this be installed with a rooted ROM?
Thanks

You can install this OTA and THEN install safestrap and put Arctic on the safe-enabled side.Sorry guys not real bright on this subject.

Follow the guide. It says: "***IF YOU HAVE EVER USED HASHCODES SAFESTRAP... STOP HERE AND DO A FULL !!***" on the very first line. So yes.Already have safe strap on the phone. Know I need to disabe to install OTA. So I should update the OTA prior to installing the arctic rom?
Also since having & using safestrap will I need to run the full RSD?
Thanks

Once rooted just hit Protect Root. I usually do Temp. Unroot then install the update. Then open it up and Restore Root.When using voodoo, it says i must have ext partitions. Is there anything I need to do besides click protect root? Or do I have to create these somehow before hand?

The RSD Lite will take you back to .744. You need to be at .748 before updating, yes.Sorry very new to this wasnt sure about the HASHCODES thats what threw me off. Thanks for the help.
I'm on the current update 6.11.748 by doing the full RSD it will take me back to 6.11.744 correct?
If so I will need to get back to .748 before moving to 6.12.173 correct?
Thank you

This is extremely likely. However you can downgrade back to the previous versions to get back on the normal upgrade path. I'm fairly certain this has been covered more than once...Ok if I do the leaked update... Is there a possibility that my phone will not automatically install future OTA updates?

your instructions were great. I am now running the current version & rooted. Now just to figure which ROM i want to use? I've used RAZRX & Arctic. have not tried razrX1.1. Will these roms work with 6.12.173?***IF YOU HAVE EVER USED HASHCODES SAFESTRAP... STOP HERE AND DO A FULL
!!***
***IF YOU HAVE EVER USED CLOCKWORD MOD ON BOOT (BOOTSTRAP)... STOP HERE AND DO A FULL !!!***
EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKS SO I'M MOVING THIS TO THE TOP IN BOLD ITALICS UNDERLINED ETC ETC. - THE WAY THAT MOTO NAMES THEIR UPDATE FILES IS NOT THE DESTINATION BUILD YOU ARE GOING TO BUT THE BUILD/VERSION YOU ARE COMING FROM.
EXAMPLE: THE 6.11.748.XT912 ZIP IS AN UPGRADE FOR 6.11.748 TO 6.12.173. - NOT 6.11.744 TO 6.11.748.
It seems there is some confusion on the procedure on how to install this leaked update. I want to clarify for those who want to use it (it has some updated radios, bump in android version to 2.3.6, updated camera, etc).
Step 1: Prerequisite step basically. You must be running stock (current ota updated version to 6.11.748) and still have all your 748 bloat intact etc etc. Anything that you couldn't uninstall without root needs to be on the phone. This includes things like editing the swype files so that you could install betas. If you are not in this boat, chances are extremely good that you are going to fail the current system verification phase and the update will not install. Also, make sure you have 50+% battery. MD5 of the update package (Blur_Version.6.11.748.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip) should be aa7fe6290c0d3a60253922bac413da02. You've been made aware.
Step 2: Disable Safestrap via the app. You do not have to remove the apk itself, but the system needs to be disabled.
Step 3: Install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper (free from the market). Open it and hit protect su (all the boxes should be checked green at this point). IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS STEP, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOT ON THE NEW BUILD. CURRENT ROOT METHODS DO NOT WORK ON ANDROID 2.3.6+. If you are not currently rooted and want/need to be, you need to root at this point with voodoo protecting root before you proceed.
Step 4: Drop the update file Blur_Version.6.11.748.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip on your EXTERNAL SD card.
Step 5: Turn off your phone
Step 6: Hold all 3 buttons (power and both vol keys) to turn it back on and select recovery from the menu that pops up (use vol down to scroll, vol up to select)
Step 7: Press Vol+ and - simultaneously to get the on screen menu. This menu behaves like CWM/SS for navigation.
Step 8: Install the update file on your card. It takes a while. It's going to verify both the file and your current system before it proceeds. If your phone fails the current system check (most common) that means something isn't factory in your phone's system files and you'll probably have to use RSD to fix it. (See my FAQ post for the link to how to use that. I'm too lazy to explain that here, or I will be ninja edited to give a link to the Fast boot thread: ).
Step 9: When the system reboots load up the voodoo app. You'll notice that you no longer have root. Hit restore su.
Step 10: Open Safestrap and enable it again.
Grats. You're rooted/safestrapped and running the most current publicly leaked build 6.12.173.XT912. There's a file that can be used to roll back to 6.11.748 in the main thread if you want to return back to whence you came. (Again Ninja edit with Link for Restoring to .748 is .)
EDIT by mattlgroff: Here are the /preinstall/ folders to replace your current ones if you have uninstalled SafeStrap and are still having issues. Use Root Explorer, delete your preinstall folder and paste in one of these depending on what version you have and it should let you upgrade/downgrade to the version you want to.
(Provided by mattlgroff. Use these to upgrade from 6.11.748 to 6.12.173 or update to another update/OTA not yet known at this time by replacing preinstall folder to fix Status 7 errors).
(Provided by mattlgroff. Use these to downgrade to 6.11.748 or to update to another update/OTA not yet known at this time by replacing preinstall folder to fix Status 7 errors).

Sorry I didn't use that exact verbage, but in the grats portion of the post I tell you how to return to 748. This information was provided to get you back on the "upgrade path" if necessary. I apologize for the confusion.
As for the re-reading post. That was a general comment. There have been probably a full page worth of re-posted questions asking the same things in the 6 pages worth of stuff in here and we're just trying to make it so we're not answering the same questions over and over again. As things have arisen consistently, we've added more information to the OP. Just like now I will update the verbage in the OP. Basically please don't get salty with the Mods. They're just trying to not have to do triple the work.
Enjoy your stay here @ Droidrzr.com and I hope your update goes/went smoothly.
