Worked for me

People having problems with the instructions in the OP...

Be sure your keyboard is not automatically placing a space after the slash in the command line. It took me two times following the instructions very carefully and on the second go round I noticed the extra space being placed after the slashes where there should be none.

You can disable some bloat thru stock "Apps" application, otherwise you'll need to start over

Got the ics on my razr last night, lost root and this fixed it thanks

[rpbello77]

Even w/o backing up root? Thanks 2 all for helping.

I think so to your question. I was rooted, played with the ics 4-5 times. crashed my phone each time and had to restore back to get it to work. Some of the directions seem to leave out a few things. after placeing ics in the cach folder (had to go into setting and enable that option in the es explorer that the directoins dont mention) I found the cach folder. at this point I had voodoo and thought that I was all backed up. ran the ics and all went well. When I checked root in voodoo the second and third check marks were gone and would not come back no matter what programs I tried. And I tried alot. This worked. I rebooted after and all the check marks are back and I am rooted.

[rpbello77]

OK thanks.I'll give a try.my first attempt at ics worked perfectly. Seens like i was one of the lucky ones After reading some feedback. Thanks again.
