Greetings.

New to the forum, but not to Android Rooting.

My girlfriend bought a brand new Verizon Razr yesterday evening. She instantly wanted me to de-bloat it as soon as we got out of the store. I didn't have a chance to get it rooted and had planned on doing it tonight.

She calls me about 8am this morning and tells me she has a notification telling her there is a system update available, should she accept? I said sure. I thought it would be maybe a GB update, but as luck would have it, it is indeed 4.0.

After reading and trying to find a solution to the question I am about to ask, I am assuming she is one of teh first to receive it. We are on the Gulf Coast, for those wondering what region we are in.

My question is, will the root process for the ICS leaks work on this, or are we SOL until someone discovers a hack for the OTA?

.EDIT: I was terribly mistaken by the information I was given. The update has unfortunately not arrived. I'm very sorry!

Thanks in advance.

First, welcome to the forums.

Second, what's the label on the update? Can you submit a screenshot? Build number?

I have an extremely hard time believing that the unit is pulling down an ICS update without any fanfare from Moto or VZW on ANY of their social networking updates or press releases. If what you're saying is true, I'm partially inclined to believe that somehow her ESN is on the list of test units that regularly gets pushed updates directly from Moto. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

If nothing else, you should be able to protect and restore root via OTA Rootkeeper by Voodoo. Also, please provide info on what version numbers (Kernel, radio, OS, bootloader) that she is showing.

I will get a screen shot when I see her tonight.

Regarding the root protection. I would had to installed that prior to the update wouldn't I? If she has already taken the update, and root is lost. THen what?

Welcome to the forums... I have a feeling this thread is going to get a lot of attention in the next few hours/days. Especially after you post those screenshots. I know a lot of us here are awaiting ICS official info to help us get unstuck from the 84/85 ICS leak

Yeah I don't see why this method wouldn't worry. Unless it was a build prior to the 84/85 updates.

Hopefully tonight is soooooooooooon

Yea thinkn im hanging right here for a min...or day lol

[etrorteepe]

There hasn't been any buzz about a soak though yet.

[jimyv]

Would phone have to be fresh to have 181? I mean they wouldnt be prepping ours with 181 to push ics to an earlier build......right?

.84 and. 85 users could be the soak. It's not like these forums are not publicly available to people.
