So after a week of testing we're comfortable bringing you guys another update. This build is the primary reason that we pulled .174 as it still had errors in it and this is clean(er). We have yet to find any major issues and believe this is what .173 should have been at rollout (without the smart action and search force close issues). We do not yet know if this is part of the upgrade path. Don't ask. You can still fastboot/RSD back to stock and reupgrade to 173 if it becomes necessary. Anyway, lets begin.
Pros: FC fixes for search key in app drawer and smart actions. Updated CDMA Radio (not LTE). We're noticing after a week or so of usage that the battery life seems to be better. Mileage may vary.
Cons: It's not ICS? Realistically, nothing. Report anything you find.
1) Be running stock unmodified 6.12.173.XT912 - No exceptions. Usual drill. Can't come from another build.
2) Download file and put it on your external SD card. (Blur_Version.6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US) - MD5 - 3D551103E802238AA007C6A2463D1FB2

3) Install via Moto Recovery - (Power/vol + and - when unit is powered down. Select recovery, both vol keys at the exclamation, find your file, yadda yadda. We should all be used to this by now)
4) Wait
5) Reboot when complete - Profit
(We've noticed that this update does break root. You can reroot with Dan Rosenberg's motofail exploit or use OTA rootkeeper.)
