[Q] Help with failed OTA update (not because of removed bloat ware)? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hey guys can anyone help me update my phone to 6.12.173? Every time I attempt to update it fails for some reason. I asked for help on the "Solution for failed OTA update (due to removed apps)" thread but I don't think I can get much help there since I never removed any bloatware. Anyways I did attempt to follow the steps mentioned in that thread, however I got a "status 7" error. Here is a picture of my last log:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong? I'm willing to donate a few bucks to whoever can help me figure out how to update my phone.

Come on XDA, no one has anything? $20 bucks to whoever can help me get 6.12.173 running on my RAZR.

Were you rooted at one time? You say its not because of bloat removed.Instead of worrying about the update for now did you try and go back to stock? Dont know much but like you would just have to search for more. Regardless you could still try and flash back and if you still have problems will be more involved.

Thanks for the reply blueis300, I am also rooted like dewage. I'll try out the guide and tell you what happens.
Edit:
It just occurred to me, if I flash to the UAE rom will I still be able to update to 6.12.173?

Did you run any "root" tweaks?
What i would do...
1)backup apps+data with Titanium backup
2)copy titanium backup folder to your pc (just in case)
3)boot phone in flashboot mode. (hold vol + and - with power button when turning it on, press down to select fastboot, press up to enter)
4)use RSD lite to install fastboot files for your phone. (make sure battery is fully charged because it takes a long time to flash and it is draining your battery while flashing)
5)let phone reboot and skip setup, go to settings->privacy->reset phone.
6)now try OTA.
7)root and restore with titanium backup.

Tweaks? Like apps or something? I only installed a few things like TB, IP tables, Screenshot ER, etc. Oh and I did install the Clockworkmod Recovery a while back but I removed it. As for my my phone, I got it off of ebay so I'm not sure what region it came from but I think it was from the US. If there is a way to double check that would be great, but I if not them I'm just going to use the US fastboot files. Anyways I check the link you gave me for the fastboot files and I saw 4 of them that said USA. Which one should I use? Also where can I find a guide on how to use RSD Lite? Sorry about my incapacity to understand this, I am a total noob about all this RSD stuff.

I meant tweaks that try to boost your phone's performance. Since you have screenshot ER, go to settings->about-> take a screen shot that shows from system version to build date. Post the pic here.
Here's a tutorial that inclides RSD flashing, read just the fastboot part:

No probs, I had difficulty like you when I first started as well.

Thank you soooo much Nikorasu, it worked! You don't know how much I appreciate your help on helping me updating my phone. If you set up a donate button on your profile I can send you the $20 or alternatively you can just give me your PayPal email so I can send you the promised reward when I get the chance.

Glad it works. I did hope that you didn't screw up your phone further. Well I didn't help you for the money but if someone wants to "donate" money to me, I won't refuse.

Is it still rootable? Does dock method work? Dockless methods?
---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 AM ----------
Darn. Get same error I got when last OTA came around. Box comes up after phone restarts that says software update failed. I had to use the SBF that was released in the forum to get the last update. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I am rooted with the dock method and do not have bootstrap recovery installed although I did have it one time before I installed the last OTA by way of an SBF. I would do a factory reset and then try upgrading only if any of you think that will work unless there are any other suggestions.
I just used the one click dockless root after the update at it worked smoothly.
Argh. It is refusing to update just like the last OTA. Did more checking with holding down the volume up and down to get recovery into a more textish mode and I got some sort of a status 7 error on checking current system. Too many hex characters to copy down in that error but the update was talking about a file in my /cache folder refering to 45.2.5. So I cleared cache partition. No go. Can anyone advise on how to get this to update? I had the same problem with last month's OTA and I had to use the SBF which is currently not available. Any tips or help?
Torpedo
Is it still rootable? Does dock method work? Dockless methods?
I just rooted me an my girls Photon using Torpedo method
I downloaded the OTA and it restarted the phone like normal but then starts to flash and stops...just sits on the Android with the exclamation point screen. Been there for about thirty minutes. I'd advise caution if you have a similar setup as me.

Best advice, if you want the update, you probably have to sbf back to stock, do a master reset you will most likely be good. You need the stock recovery for the update to work me thinks.
-DJ
Then the question remains, what does this update do...and does it make it worth the trouble of going through all that?
Pretty sure someone said something about wireless connectivity.
I'm going to be flashing soon, will post how it goes.
-DJ
Cool. Sounds good.
Actually, you can just flash the stock recovery image from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
right under Pudding Remover.
There is a flashable stock recovery after all, I did not know this. I will do it, but my battery is too low. Going to jump in the shower and see how it goes afterwards.
EDIT: I find this to be very cool as I tried to flash it in fastboot mode and looking at the cmd prompt it said error 'cannot load stock recovery.smg'. I then look at my phone and it straight told me that my battery was too low. Pretty damn fool proof system. I like it!

When you say sbf back to stock, do you mean to reflash the file
1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf
?
I ask because this file does not take you to stock. Your phone is installed as it was but with this software version. If you mean to flash another SBF, can you please link to it? Because I believe pudding is the only other SBF on here and I don't think you mean that as that is the unlocker.

Yes, it provides you with the stock recovery which is what you need. I also made another post a couple above this one that explained where to get the stock recovery from, which is really all you need. I guess it doesn't know how to do the update with a custom recovery. Sucks but at least you don't need to flash that whole big file. Just a small quick one. Also, you need to do the small file the (.smg) file in fastboot, not with rsd lite.

My problem is that it is no where near as strong as my Evo was. Using wireless N router so it has some serious saturation. This thing still only gets 2 or 3 bars when I am -10ft away where my Evo was full bars around the whole house. Not to mention this bluetooth thing is really getting annoying.

Gingerbread Full SBF 4.5.608

This is the last full SBF official for the Droid 2 Global. This will put you back to the last stock OTA without having to do any other updates later. Flash with RSD Lite.
As with any such file posted on a forum site, use at your own risk, but I know that is the official VZW SBF file
Step 1: Boot into the bootloader, you do this by powering on and holding power on + volume up + volume down. You should see a black screen with text that says battery: OK
Step 2: Plug is your usb cord into the computer you loaded the rsdlite file on
Step 3: Click on your rsdlite program. You need to run as an administrator, to do that hold shift key and right click on the rsdlite program (do that as you are about to open the program).
Step 4: Next to the file name text box in the rsdlite program are three little dots. Click on those dots and find the file Click on that file and then click start. Make sure you have a strong battery before flashing this is the one time you need to ensure your battery is ok to get through the process, because the program erases everything and re-flashes your phone.
Step 5: Wait for it to get to 100% and reboot your phone to the motorola "M" symbol first then unplug your device. While at the M take off the battery cover out and remove your battery. Wait for about 3 seconds and then reinstall your battery. Power on and hold the physical X key until you get to the triangle and !.
Step 6: on your physical keyboard push the search button to get into the recovery mode. From there you are going to wipe data/factory reset. AFter that is complete click reboot.

Thanks yo u saved my Droid today i've flashed the CM9 ICS alpha1 and i ened up with my droid dead...
Don't know if anyone else has this problem (I think my friend's phone is possessed), but I have to push volume up+down simultaneously instead of pressing the search key on the hardware keyboard to bring up the recovery menu.
I hope this saves someone else many hours of searching and angry table hitting.
(Yes, I am sure that the phone is a D2G.)

Hello,
I recently acquired a D2G. It was running the OTA stock Gingerbread and was rooted when given to me.
I was foolish and deleted the My Accounts app as I thought it was a Verizon My Account only app.
I did not back up the system apps with Titanium...again foolish move.
Had some issues and used the factory reset. However, that obviously cannot restore system apps I deleted.
Is there any pre- steps needed to push this to the phone? Or can I simply run it in via RDSLite and then start from scratch?
Thanks

zipped SBF MD5 is the same as what you get 77185076B8EF7C962534B6223AD4BA1E
actual extracted SBF has MD5: 2152EE89E314F5B282753EE56FA36C07
If you get that MD5 on the zip, you are ok.
I am sure you know you need to extract the SBF from the zip file before you can flash it with RSDLite.
Never mind. I didn't see the last post. Thanks sd_shadow and leobg for the assistance.
boot loop
So I've tried two different sbf files for my D2G including the one listed in the OP of this thread but my D2G is still boot looping Am I SOL? I've pulled the battery and tried a few other things but I thought that sbf files were the ultimate fix for boot loops not the cause of them.
not if you took the

Some Tips of Razr:​
- when the phone is freezed or you are in a bootloop, you can force the device to power down, just push & hold Vol - and Vol+ and
power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, the phone will be shut down
- for going to boot menu, first turn off the phone, then push & hold Vol buttons and power button at the same time
for about 10seconds, then you will enter to boot menu, now use Vol - button to scroll and Vol + to select an option.
- for going to Stock Recovery, you have to select "recovery" in boot menu, then you'll see a black screen with Android triangle in the middle, now you have to push Vol - + buttons at the same time to enter to recovery

Question about reverting to stock to return to Verizon.
I never had to return my Incredible do noob on UNroot.
Do I simply unroot and that 'Covers'my tracks? Or should I revert back to 2.3.5/173?
My earpiece crackles so I need a replacement

I have xt910 & i dont know about versions of verizon, if you are on 2.3.5 now so you can revert simply with rsd lite & no need to unroot,
But if your current android version is 2.3.6 you have to take a look at this thread:

You may want to add after flashing a stock rom in RSD, if you are stuck at the moto logo, to reboot into recovery and do a system wipe again to fix.
I got stuck with the Android triangle! I think I read somewhere to tap all 4 corners then hit home. That didn't work but I got the power button and that did the trick. Went straight to stick recovery and I rebooted the phone. We'll return today and get another although it pisses me off because I bought a new phone last week and afaik the replacements are refurbs

Go to setting > about phone
And look at your system version and build number,
Also you can flash other fastboot files such as UK, but i don't know about supporting your language

Who knows where is this ROM came from umts_SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-1-CEE_1C.91P_0A.6C_DATDE_CFC_HWp2b_SIGNED.xml.zip ?
Its clear with other roms - Retail, O2 & T-Mobile. But i dont know what means DATDE..
can you please send me a build prop file for umts spider xt910 please to [email protected] please
* Edit: found what I was looking for, please ignore!
Hello, I also do not know where to look at. I actually want to unlock my phone from uk's O2 and I do not know which rom to flash into? soory for being noob. Any help would much appreciated!

Jelly Bean Anyone???​
That's right, in case you didn't know, a Jelly Bean OTA was "accidentally" pushed out to lots of people on Christmas Eve. Maybe you grabbed it, maybe you didn't. Well for those of you that didn't, I have quite the surprise for you today!!!
Here it is, the "accidental" Jelly Bean OTA!!!!!
Let's go through the steps to get this on your phone. Now keep in mind, just to test out these instructions, I've done this myself since I am back on the RAZR now!
CAUTION!!!!! AFTER INSTALLING THIS UPDATE, IT IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GO BACK TO ICS!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Note: I am absolutely NOT responsible for anything that happens to your phone during this process.
Prerequisites:
1. Download the Jelly Bean update file and place it on the root of your external sdcard (root of sdcard means DO NOT put it in any folders, just put it on the main part of the external sdcard.) http://d-h.st/8l1
2. Download and install Winrar (free version) http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
3. Download Mattlgroff's RAZR Utility v1.82 http://batakang.com/ftp/DROID_RAZR/DroidRazrUtility1.82.zip
4. Download and install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ
Update your SU Binary before backing up your root!
Install Instructions:
1. Find the zip file for the RAZR utility you just downloaded and right click on it. Select "Extract Files..." then click OK.
2. Connect your phone to your PC with a USB Cable in FASTBOOT MODE.
3. Go to the extracted folder from the Utility and double click the DroidRAZRUtility.bat file.
4. Select option 1 to fastboot back to complete stock .211 (Note: If you're just on stock rooted .211 with NO RECOVERY, skip this step. If the update fails, fastboot back to .211)
5. After fastbooting back (it will take a while) Reopen the DroidRAZRUtility.bat file.
6. Stay connected to your PC, with your phone ON normally, change the USB connection to MTP Mode, now go to Settings > Developer Options, and turn on USB Debugging.
7. Use the DroidRAZRUtility.bat file again, this time select Option 2 which will root your .211 build.
7a. Open the app drawer on your phone, navigate to SuperUser, open the app, and update your su binaries.
8. Open the app drawer on your phone and navigate to the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper App and open the app.
9. Once the app is open, allow it Superuser Permission, then select "Protect Root."
10. Reboot Device
11. Go back to the OTA Rootkeeper App and this time select "Temp Unroot."
12. Turn your phone off. Once powered down, press and hold the power button + volume down at the same for about 9 seconds, when the screen flickers, release the buttons and quickly press all 3 side buttons (power, vol+, vol-)
13. You're now in the bootloader, press the vol- button to highlight "Recovery" and press vol+ to select it.
14. You'll be greeted with an Android on his back, press both volume buttons at the same time here to enter stock moto recovery.
15. Now in stock recovey, select "install update from external sdcard."
16. Wait for the update to finish installing (about 20-30 minutes.)
17. After the update is finished, simply reboot the phone.
18. Congratualtions!!! You now have stock Jelly Bean on your RAZR!!!
Now let's get your root permissions back!
1. Reboot your phone normally after the update finishes installing.
2. Open the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper App
3. Select "Restore Root."
4. PROFIT!
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE RESTORING ROOT AFTER THIS UPDATE, TRY THIS TOOL (made by mattlgroff) BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!
Try this tool and let me know if it works please.
Extract to desktop
Make sure you have the drivers installed
Connect phone to PC
Enable USB Debugging
Double click the FixRoot.bat file

I know that there are other threads like this one, but I honestly thought mine was a little easier to understand and a little more in laymen terms. If any Mods want this removed, please feel free to do so!
seems very simple (affecting other partitions? I mean the other ROMs installed?)
thanks
Doesn't matter, people don't really use search function.
It maybe possible to get root back by temp downgrade to ICS kernel.
I'll only reveal it when JB for umts_spyder is official.
Requirement :
- CID partition backup. So backup now before you lose root.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p18 of=/sdcard/cid.img
#It just 512kb (2kb compressed)

Opps. It maybe doesn't work for XT912. I take back my word.
But it never hurt to have a CID backup.

Thank you! Added to the OP!
won't boot..
Hey guys, I ran into an issue while doing this for my brother. Once I installed the stock ICS via the tool in the OP, the phone will only boot to the motorola screen and then the phone goes completely black and will not boot. I can still get into fastboot, but if I try to reach recovery I get the droid with the red exclamation mark (so it seems the phone now has no recovery on it). I have tried redoing the process, but I'm getting the same result once the flash is complete.
Any advice on what I should do? Was using a fully charged CDMA RAZR fyi..
I appreciate any help on this and I'll be the first to admit that I almost always run into problems with Motorola phones. Is there another method or toolkit to simply get back to a bootable phone and try my luck again?
Thanks!
Does this work on a gsm xt910?? I am using stock rom but have a safestrap within so any help on what i can do!?!?
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Nevermind.. I used RSD to flash the ICS stock. I suppose I can now go through the rest of the process in the OP?
Seems to be working fine now, so I'll continue the rest of the steps to get root and flash JB tonight. Please let me know if I'm missing anything and thanks again for any advice / suggestions.

I have a pair of the FPV Drone Edition. Have side loaded a few apps. Haven't rooted since Galaxy S3 ( back on iPhone now) am interested to get this going
Hi !
It seems the rooting of intel devices follow the scheme:
-get bootimg
-patch it
-allow oem bootloader (voiding warranty and endangering future updates)
-flash the patched bootimg and pray
Is this correct or did i oversimplify or generalize too much or am i plain wrong, anyone ?
Greetings,
Ender
P.S. Greetings dvegaman
Bump.
Well, BUMP, goddamn
Just came across 2 pairs of these (BT-300s).
If the lack of interest in rooting is due to lack of hardware, reach out to me privately here on XDA; would happily donate one to kickstart some development efforts.

This may seem easy to others but I figured out how to do a factory data reset using ADB... something that would've helped when my BT-300 went into a boot loop last weekend...
***DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKING, ETC..... (but it worked fine for me).
1. Install "minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2_setup.exe" (google it and grab at your own risk) on your Windows PC.
2. Go to the BT-300 and:
a. Under Security allow unknown sources
b. Under Developer Options allow USB debugging and unlock bootloader.
3. Connect same powered up BT-300 to PC via USB cable.
4. Start up that minimal ADB program. It will open in command prompt.
5. Check connection by typing "adb devices"
Should see "EMBT3C device" on PC
6. Now type, "adb reboot recovery" and wait for android with triangle/exclamation point to appear after device reboots. You will notice the physical buttons flash purple too.
7. Press and hold power button. Also press Vol Up, then release Vol Up and finally release Power button.
You should now see the recovery menu including "wipe data/factory reset", cache clear, and so on...
NOW... if I could get recovery.zip image to restore if I "kill" it to reload with ADB... THEN I'd try root. There must be a way. I just want GApps 5.1.1 on the thing for starters.
Still struggling with rooting... No dice so far. I've never rooted any Android... Once rooted can we then save the original factory ROM someplace safe, or do I need that first from another source? Newbie questions . I know just enough to be dangerous! LOL.
I got the factory image
Played around with the "SoftwareUpdate" apk and found the strings it uses to download the 1.4
Ugh just signed up but because I don't have enough posts I had to put a bunch of spaces in the links for them to
show up. Just remove the spaces and they should work? Either his or copy the SoftwareUpdate.apk and pull the strings from that.

You download a file called "SecureUpdateInfo" open it in a text editor and it will give you a link to the direct download for the zip. Its about 300megs. I have been playing with the boot options, but keep crashing it on boot and having to restore. I found 4 test pins that may be a serial port, but its 1.8 volt so I need to build something
PS - It might com back without a link but "BUSY" on it. I have been testing it a bunch so thats what happened right now. The fille will look like below

I also managed to root my epson! I discovered the twrp.img here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-tutorial-intel-atom-cherry-trail-t3468330
If you get into bootloader mode and fastboot flash it into the recovery partition, you can adb root it and then install supersu from there. I just trashed my device though so be sure to do a full image backup first haha.

Tried to load up opengapps, then every time I rebooted it would be "optimizing apps" I tried to side-load the OTA again and poof, it killed the system partition.
The ota apparently doesn't have the full image. Right now I am trying to hack together something from another cherry rom and side load it, but I need a DD of someones system Glad twrp still works or I wouldn't have shell root access to fix.

Ok I am retarded. I didn't configure twp correctly so all the folders it had were wrong. So when I went to use the install tool it screwed up majorly.
Just glad I didn't overwrite the bootloader
PS - Ok, I figured out how to restore the original recovery loader and it recovered fine. It must be something in this hacked version of twip that isn't applying the ota correctly. Going to try to build a version of twip just for this

You are not. I am the noob trying to figure out the whole root process and I don't even know how to backup the existing bootloader and ROM so I can restore it with ADB if I screw it all up in root..... I feel clueless and know just enough to be dangerous... yet for some reason, I'm not afraid, just need to learn.

Whew! I did it. First I took the instructions from here as a start:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-tutorial-intel-atom-cherry-trail-t3468330
In fact, if you can "almost" follow the instructions verbatim. The problem is that the data drive is encrypted and the default android password didn't work so I had to modify the boot.img to not encrypt the data partition then do a wipe. supersu installed fine then.
As for gapps, that was tricky. You have to manually install google webview apk as the built in one is garbage.
Still working on the vr settings. Camera has issues with scaling as I think good believes it to be a widescreen when its a 4.3.
Once I get it down, I will make a boot.img and recovery.img that should just work.
