Yes there is working ICS. You really need to go to droidhive.com or droidrzr.com for information. I don't know if you have CDMA but those sites have a lot more activity for CDMA phones. Plus you need to READ!

The pros of ICS?! Lots of pros. Cons are it is leaked and installing can be a pain if you don't have everything in order in case something goes wrong. That is why I said you need to read and do research to understand this phone and how flashing works.

According to Droid Life, it's not ICS, it's 6.12.181
Did the email specifically state that it is ICS?

WOW, how much of an epic fail is this?... rhetorical question..
Does not surprise me given what some people are saying about leak.

So Janker5050 could not have received ICS OTA? And so many insisted on believing:

Lets say we're rooted and was selected to do the soak test....can we use voodoo rootkeep to temp unroot to download soak test or do we have to SBF back to last update to download it? I'm just asking as a way to help others that were selected and rooted with stock ROM

My (?) is that if they signed up for a soak test why would you root the Razr knowing you could be potentially chosen?

What are people saying? I think the leaks is stable and works great.

I'm also curious, what are people complaining about? I've had my screen on for the last 4 hours customizing, playing with and generally enjoying ICS. I've yet to experience any issues whatsoever...? Genuinely wondering what problems people are having? Why would they put the ICS release candidate on their staging/soak server if it was riddled with bugs?
Hummmm
Have you people really used ICS I think its horrible even if they do get it working on these phones it still sucks! Just make the battery last a month on one charge and connect to any wi-fi without having to log in, and make apps shut off when you exit out of them. That's all we want out of our phones right??? We can only dream about having phones that work right there will always be someone with an issue with their phone as long as we are getting phones that do all these great things!! Sorry my little rant i'm just done hearing everyone saying when is ICS coming to our phones!! Everyone knows when they do release it thousands will install and instantly start having issues so then another update and another it will never end! How many phones that are out work perfectly? I probably wont even update to ICS when it comes I like the way my phone works now and know where everything is! If you want ICS just install a different launcher done!!
Back in February, everyone was screaming for ICS on their Asus Transformer. Now, the majority of people wished they never got it because it has caused nothing but grief for many (not all) owners. (lockups, random reboots, and general instability).

ICS if you want to try it use this.

Guys i got sick of waiting and searching the forums.
Did this and it is amazing. I wouldnt even care to be stuck on it. I had no idea what i was messing. I dont see how the real update can be any better.
Just make sure you flash to .181 root only dont install anything else. Then do as instructed. Zero problems battery life is good, camera all works.

Yes.
....and I'm not sure why it's posted here in the development section.
Yeah sorry. Just thought it would help some people find it. I had a hell of a time. Mods move to where ya want i just feel like most of us cant find what we need. This is an extremely good build im very happy with it. Yes its for the cdma xt912....
If anyone needs help message me.
Easy to do once you get back to stock .181. I had to use matts utility to get back to stock. But RSD should be fine just get root then do exactly as instructed.

Define safe because hacking your phone in general is already not a guaranteed deal. If you're cautious you can do it all without worry.
Are you rooted already?
No im not rooted do i need to hack my phone

Yes you have to be able to reach recovery to flash any sort of mod. Its real easy to do if you can run a computer. There are threads under general that tell you how go check them out

+2 to that and also run the speedy 7 script and supercharger 6 your phone will be considerably faster.
A word of advice - don't run V6, speedy and mash up at the same time. Those explosions people joke about actually start to happen.
I really liked mashup+Eclipse. Simple, smooth and solid.

Only issue I have with this is I could never get my wifi to work stable. Other then that CM7 is a great ROM.
You can also, do a 2.3.4 root, root keeper, upg to 2.3.5, and then flash X2 Mashup v7(2.3.5). That makes for a pretty good stock setup, and you can do the Battery Fix if you find your self having issues with the battery seemingly dieing earlier or whatever. I also recommend Holo Launcher.
GL, and let us know what you do.

Why not root your phone? You can un-root at anytime. ICS is too good to wait for an actual release

Just did it myself, and it was extremely easy... I am a NOOB by the way... if I can do it, you can.

You should back up your data, boot into stock recovery or if you're using custom recovery (cwm/bootmenu) and do a factory wipe. It's painful as you'll have to set up your phone again from scratch but it will fix most of your issues with apps crashing.

Razr XT910 is GSM (for Europe)
Razr XT912 is CDMA (for USA)
Razr MAXX coming in both versions,the only difference is in the battery,it have 3300mAh unlike those above,they have 1780 mAh.
Razr MAXX HD is a completely different phone,you have a different thread for it.

Hey.. I have gotten it.
Sad thing is that i didnt get the maxx, i got the droid razr(atleast thats what is written in settings.)
I let the battery die out and its being lying there for almost 10 minutes now.
Its on android 4.0(ics), also the battery isnt that good.
One other thing is the battery reduces in 5. for example 5%,10%,15%....

My phone automatically started downloading the jb 4.1 update, I read the jb update only brings poor performance.
I am trying to make it stop downloading but no matter what I do it still downloading.
I have tried disconnecting data, and force closing an up called updater(which stops the download for a short time but it relaunches itself in a few seconds) and the disable option isn't available for that app.
Please help me out
