Only thing we have heard is Q1 2012, but we heard Q4 2011 for unlocked bootloader tools and look what we got....

[DrNoob]

You don't need to unroot your phone to apply updates. However, the update will unroot your phone. Your phone just needs all of it's original files intact to apply OTA updates.

OTA Rootkeeper "should" hold your root through the update.

So if your on a different ROM than stock would you have to restore the stock ROM before installing the update?

yes, but with project cheesecake i'm guessing the ics ota will leak at least a couple Weeks before ota is pushed and could be flashed no problem

man i need a hot line to call so someone could step me through switching roms and cheesecake and how to attack the ota updates!

I'd prefer that inexperienced users not mess with cheesecake/pre-alpha versions of ICS/etc. Most of the razr ROMs are very early in development and have many issues. Stick with the more final/complete ROMs for now. We'll let you know what cheesecake yields. We don't want to attract too much attention on the moto servers.

I make guides for everything there is a reason I haven't made a public cheesecake guide. Its dangerous in more than a couple ways. Please don't bother looking for it anyone, its already being taken care of.

Eclipse V0.1 is in that section but it needs the cheesecake leak and you guys said not to mess with it?

[raijin32]

Arctic was recommended to me as my first ROM and I've been running it for a week now with no problems. I'm pretty new to all this much like I assume you are so maybe try that one out and see how it works out for you.

[DrNoob]

Did you have to put the cheesecake update on first?

Nope. Running on .748.

I'd take Mattlgroff's advice to heart and just stay away from Cheesecake while the more experinced guys work out all the kinks. He's guided me on a few occasions and hasn't steered me wrong yet.

I mean the Cheesecake application. The 6.12.173 is a useful radio upgrade, I just find it annoying to go back to 6.11.748 rooted from 6.12.173. just clarifying

[raijin32]

Like I said. Mattlgroff knows what he's talking about.

[Tmc363]

What he's saying is do not download the cheesecake app and start using this yourself flashing the leak 173 that he acquired from that app is safe to do. And then you can flash eclipse over it. If you follow the instructions of flashing and maintaining root via the voodoo ota root keeper app

you can root, if you used doomlord's package to root there is a doomlord package to unroot. but there's also a .748 zip you can flash to get back to stock rom if that's what you meant
