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.

ROOT ACHIEVED FOR JELLY BEAN!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Saved my droid
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.

Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Stuck at Samsung
I have the same issue tho have tried troubleshooting and could really use some extra help.
Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!
The day before yesterday I found there's a 4.1.2 OTA available for my Xt912,so i upgrade my pnone to 4.1.2,and i use voodoo OTA to keep root,but when i use razrbootstrap(unofficial recovery)to install a 3W_3G(To enable the CDMA 3g) pakage,after that i reboot the phone but only to find that it had this screen, saying "Encryption unsuccessful" and your only option a button that said "Reset Phone"........
How can i get my phone working again(I am a Chinese,a little Chiglish)

You'll need moto-Fastboot and the 2 winADB.dll's you can find in most root packages.
Open command prompt (admin)
Boot phone into APfastboot
Navigate to folder with Fastboot
Moto-Fastboot erase cache
Moto-Fastboot erase userdata
Moto-Fastboot reboot
Be careful about flashing and using ICS hacks and recoveries n such. I've found not all are JB compatible.

you mean the problem lies to the unofficial recovery for ICS?It's nothing to do with the package I install?
I can't say for certain. But I know whenever I installed black recovery I hit the same issue. Did the Fastboot fix and it all worked fine again. Been playing with safestrap 3.05 with no problems so far. But no Roms or anything. Just installed to see if it would work fine. It could be the CDMA 3G thing you installed too.

A new problem!Every time when I reboot,the phone will has ""Encryption unsuccessful'error!
Same Issue
So I most definitely have the same issue. I used the unofficial Razr Bootstrap 2.0 (apparently more for ICS than Jelly Bean) after I flashed the recently released 4.1.2 on CDMA Razr Maxx. I was trying to use the CM9 battery mod....
More to the point, I'm not sure I understand the instructions fully on how to fix it. Also does it wipe your device? I'm trying really hard not to do that. I know how to go to AP Fastboot on the device. But is moto fast boot a program? I think this is it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953948
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
EDIT - I figured most of it out. I can execute all the commands. But the erase userdata is going to erase all of my stuff isn't it? There's no other way to fix the issue? I'm holding out...

Are you running an ICS custom recovery? I would remove it if so and get a JB compatible recovery or stock recovery. If that's not the issue try to determine what app or mod is installed that's conflicting with the system. New upgrades its always wise to try one thing at a time so it's easier to narrow down the variables if something goes wrong.

GSM XT910 has more than 2 dozen different retail/carriers softwares and each software version has a different secure version. So that's not going to happen as it would be way too time consuming to make and update for that many different phones. In the Verizon XT912 there is only one carrier version to worry about thankfully.

ok... need some help.. I was on ICS, downloaded the OTA update to JB, and installed. Did the whole voodoo root keeper had the root etc. Well, that was about a week ago, and now the last 2 days, I lost my root. I found this tool, downloaded it, an ran it.. didn't have root, so i used the tool to redo my phone... but i'm still having issues.. still no root access.. tried it again.. i did the whole "smart action" things, but i still have no root.. what am i doing wrong?!
thanks in advance..!!
Edit: never mind, i figured it out myself.. did some more research online.. when you do the root, the phone needs to be connected to usb (obviously), and it has to have usb debugging enabled (again, obviously..) BUT, what i didn't see posted, nor in dan's tool, is it needs to be TAKE OUT of mass storage..i put mine as media device, and it worked just fine... thanks tho!!!!

mattlgroff, you are one of the best developer for our RAZR.
Unfortunately many User in Germany lost their Root by flashing Jelly Bean OTA 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU. Same for Carrier Updates by O2 or Vodafone.
Also two really good developers and really active User here in this forum. They had done a lot of great work here in Germany and other European Forum. Please help and give us some Ideas to get back Root again and let our good People not go to other new Fon Modells and Forums.
Sorry for my bad english.

Matt, Thanks a lot for the utility. It works for me.
There is a small issue I've experienced during rooting (option #3)
I've chosen #2 for upgrade and then #3 for root.
Since I had some smart action saved before the upgrade the script failed to access some file due to permission. I've deleted all previously smart action scenarios and run $3 again. The script has finished successfully.
Again thanks for this utility

Hi All,
After a failed attempt to root my L9 769, I have an issue where when the phone is turned on, it does not boot, it goes to a screen with the LG logo and the words "security error" beneath it. The phone then powers off. The only thing I have access to on the phone is this screen and the software update mode. I used the offline flash method in my root attempt. I am sure I screwed up in the process. I have scoured the internet in an attempt to resolve this, but I have yet been able to. This seems to be a fairly common problem when a root attempt fails, however I cannot correct this.
Things I have tried:
Fastboot: I try to run fastboot, but it stops at waiting for device.
Offline flash: I tried the offline flash method, but the tool freezes at 15% saying the device cannot be found.
Online flash: The tool recognizes the phone but sees it as being up to date. I try to use the recovery option but it locks up at analyzing the phone.
I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J

You need a recovery.img from p769 and flash it through fastboot

Some help on how to install fastboot
Did you install the omap4430 driver twice?
Open an elevated command prompt and type
Code:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
devmgmt.msc
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then open the Device Manager and see if you have the omap4 driver installed twice (in two locations)
Note: In Device Manager click the View tab and select Show hidden devices
If you don't see the omap driver installed twice, do this
Select the "other devices" and start deleting/uninstalling all of the devices you find here (I think the device you are looking for is "lg u2" but not 100% sure)
Once you have uninstalled all of the unknown drivers you found, run the start.bat again and follow the directions to flash the x & u img's (for your device).
Now go back to device manager and find the new unknown/other device created (should be lg u2) and install the omap4430 like you did the first time.
After you have done all this, rerun the start.bat and hopefully it will work for you.
Another thing, If you do see the omap driver installed twice, then it has to be your timing when you enter the battery. Keep trying different times to enter the battery
example. wait 1 second and enter battery, if that doesn't work wait 2 seconds then enter battery and etc.
Good luck
No luck yet with connecting to fastboot, I will give this a shot and report back. Thank you.
You were absolutely right, the issue was with having multiple drivers. I followed your steps and restored my phone to life. Thank you so much.

@kuma82,
Before I start, I had NO IDEA how crazy the L9 was! I've rooted/unlocked/custom recoveried/custom ROMed 4 other phones without any major set backs prior to hitting this wall.
Also, this is my daughter's phone and I'm really took a lot of precautions before starting.
Here is what I did prior to attempting to wipe (factory reset) and install CM 10.1 (here):
Device model: P769
[was] rooted
CWM Recovery [was] installed
Stock JB (T-Mobile US) ROM backed up (full nandroid)
I was concerned about the many submodels of the L9 and verified both in the about phone within the ROM settings as well as what's printed/etched below the battery under the back cover. Both checked out to be P769.
I ran `adb reboot recovery` and then proceeded to wipe/factory rest from within CWM recovery. After this, I installed the ROM zip from the external sdcard. It failed the update script's assert of ro.product.id and would not install. OK, bummer, I'll just restore the nandroid backup. Nope. It was unable to restore /system and so now I really got concerned. I then found the weirdest thing of all. After seeing what is asserted in the update script for the ROM zip, I ran getprop for each of the properties it checks for and got back the Prada 3D "p940"!
Well now I felt like I was in a world of pain, so I decided to hack the update script so that "p940" would be accepted. Well now the install went fine without any errors reported. I proceeded to flash the latest gapps for 4.2.2 and it too installed fine. GREAT! Now for the system boot.........
From that point on, I've been stuck in LG Security Error land
I was able to get the special fastboot to connect (after many failed attempts) by selecting option 5 for ICS x & u flashing.
Could someone be please be kind enough to help me get my daughter's phone back to some ROM? I'm alright with even stock right now. At least then she'll have a functioning phone and I could even extract apps to restore from the CWM nandroid I made via Titanium.
peace.

peace.

To install custom rom or CM10 you need to unlock bootloader first. You should follow kuma82 in his post above to flash back stock rom.
The security error is because you didn't unlock it (sorry to hear that). Just flash with fastboot ice x & u for p769. Then put your phone in s/w upgrade and run the offline flash.
If you need anymore help, holla! I don't want your daughter mad at you

I swear I read every link you posted above and still could not figure out what: "flash with ice x & u" is. I downloaded the fastboot zip and ran start.bat and selected option 5 for ICS x & u for p769 and that got me an inverted LG fastboot screen. I was also able to then choose option 1 for fastboot which dropped me into an empty yours directory.
It was midnight and I had at least 8 browser tabs open to various xda posts, but I still couldn't figure out what I needed to do with the start.bat next.
Thanks in advance. My weekend is dedicated to solely fixing her phone

Hi All,
After a failed attempt to root my L9 769, I have an issue where when the phone is turned on, it does not boot, it goes to a screen with the LG logo and the words "security error" beneath it. The phone then powers off. The only thing I have access to on the phone is this screen and the software update mode. I used the offline flash method in my root attempt. I am sure I screwed up in the process. I have scoured the internet in an attempt to resolve this, but I have yet been able to. This seems to be a fairly common problem when a root attempt fails, however I cannot correct this.
Things I have tried:
Fastboot: I try to run fastboot, but it stops at waiting for device.
Offline flash: I tried the offline flash method, but the tool freezes at 15% saying the device cannot be found.
Online flash: The tool recognizes the phone but sees it as being up to date. I try to use the recovery option but it locks up at analyzing the phone.
I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J

I've been wanting to try this: go to your computer and check your device manager and disable the LG drivers then try the offline flash again. Kuma way works but it's very long, found this while I was reading but never tried for our phones. Same problem though as updating stops at 15 %

Another thing, more than likely, after you flash with the r&d tool you will need to do a hard reset because you flashed cyanogen. Also, you will still need to root to fix the touch screen.

Yeah, I was able to repeatedly get the inverted LG fastboot screen and see everything you saw in device manager as well as successfully get `fastboot devices` to show (echo) the device. I even tried `fastboot flash recovery p4_769.img` with the file linked in post #3 and it flashed without error.
Here's my problem: What do I need to do now that I have a working way to run fastboot commands? Is there a recovery image I need to flash (stock)? Is there a boot image I need to flash? Or, is there some other fastboot command I need to run?
I'm assuming the advice you're giving me is to ultimately get a stock ROM back on her phone. Is that correct?
I'd really like to unlock the bootloader so that I can do what I know with CWM: backup, wipe, restore, flash, etc... If that is something I can do from where I'm at now, I'd prefer to put the effort in to that. If this darned 'Security Error' splash message must be resolved by getting back to a stock ROM first, then I'm game.
Final request for clarification: Am I still needing to "flash the ice cream x & u boot for your device (in fastboot) to get the offline flash running again"? If so, could you please provide instructions for that step? So far all of the steps linked here have been to get Windows drivers sorted out and fastboot working. I've got that now.
Thanks again!

Okay, did you get all your info about unlocking the bootloader from carloswii5 video? So you had flashed 20b kdz right?
You gave me a hand full Lola, but I'm help you out. It get is going to take me some time to give you a guide, but I'll give you everything you need today and yes, you need to get back to stock.
I'll send you another link on how to use fast boot manually. Plus it has the images for ice cream. But hold up

THANKS!
Her phone had the stock TMOUS jelly bean ROM that we received OTA. I had only rooted her phone previous to my CM10.1 fiasco attempt.
So I've never flashed anything (successfully at least) on her phone. All of my previous android experience has been on 3 nexuses (One, S, 4) and my current HTC Sensation. That means I've only unlocked one bootloader that didn't support the fastboot oem method
I'm an experienced dev with the entire weekend to "play" with my daughter's p769
I also promise to provide lengthy posts in the Optimus L9 forums to help any future people from soft bricking any more devices.

This will tell you how to use fastboot manually http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43642515&postcount=21
The system image is to big to flash with fastboot, sucks.
1. Use the above to get back on stock (you need 10g kdz).
To enter s/w upgrade remove battery. Hold volume up and enter USB cable, then put the battery back in.

UH OH... The "volume up" method isn't working on this device. I posted more details about it here. I'm beginning to think I may need to return the phone. I never thought flashing a ROM zip in CWM recovery could brick the phone. When I restoring the CWM backup also failed (when I at least was in CWM recovery which now is inaccessible), I freaked.
P.S. - I'm all out of thanks for the day. I think you got the lion's share though
