Do you have to be rooted to use safe strap or could you push it to your device from your PC?

That's too bad. I was just trying to think of a way for those unrooted souls to get some root action.

There isn't one short of a new root exploit for the JB build. I don't consider that highly likely any time soon.

[Ultimanium]

For anyone having issues with the build, if its under manufacturer warrenty, verizon will replace it, although it takes some persistence with customer service.

Anyone know if this build supports lock screen widgets? I can't seem to enable them.

That's in 4.2...

Thanks Matt. Getting my android versions confused!

[MightyMackinac]

For those of you that want a more detailed writeup here it goes...

• Flash back to stock .211 via matt's utility (option 1)
• After setting up phone again root it via matt's utility (option 2)
• Download and install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
• Click the "protect root" button
• Click Temp. Unroot
• Click Restore Root
• Click Temp. Unroot again
• Plug usb into your phone and copy the update over to your external sd card.
• Hold Power and both Volume Up and Down until boot screen appears
• From boot screen, scroll down to “Recovery” with Volume Down
• Press Volume Up to select it once it has been highlighted
• When Android and exclamation show up, press both Volumes at the same time
• Then “install update from external storage” and find Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip
• Flash update (flash will take like 10 minutes)
• Wipe data (factory reset) <-- Probably optional but recommended
• After going through initial setup again download Voodoo OTA from market again and click restore root button
• Download superuser/super su from market
• PROFIT!

This is the exact steps that I took and I have root. Hopefully this helps out...

Followed this to the letter. EDIT: Plus Matt's utility. I am now running Jelly Bean with root.


Second Edit: Flashing a boot animation caused everything to go to hell. Now I have lost root after trying to get back to Jelly Bean. Anybody have even the slightest Idea on how to get root on Jelly Bean?

Glad to see the dropdown tacos is there anything else that is different?

[SamuriHL]

Any of you RAZR guys running SuperSU and tried its protect root function with this update? I'm not suggesting someone go try it but just curious if anyone has and whether it worked or not.

[mattkilla]

How do you have the dropdown toggles?!!?!?!?! They arn't there on mine, did I miss something?

That my friend is power toggles. Apk from play store. Had them on ICS. I believe the new pull down toggles are at the bottom of the screen. (the one's I've seen anyways) here is the Razr m launcher and circles widgets I added on.

Still no OTA for me. Guess I will just flash.

[TweakedSystems]

After doing this update to JB my mobile hotspot/usb tethering/Bluetooth tethering/ no longer connects(checking subscription status) your order did not process successfully please contact customer service. Can I use the Matt DroidRazrUtility1.82 to go back to 211?

I've been using the power toggles for a couple of days now. It sure seems to kill my battery (on the maxx). Never had problems until I used this app. Plan on removing it to see if my battery life comes back.
