Just to confirm before I proceed. I have .79 on unsafe and arctic on safe.

1. Do I need need to go back to unsafe and un-install safestrap first? or go straight to option 1?

2. Does option 1 restore .181? or I need to use utility 1.6 to restore .181 first?

3. copy .211 update to ext. sd

4. Flash through recovery. hold both volume and pwr buttons right?

5. option 3 to root

6. install either bootstrap or safestrap if I want


Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

Larry

Oh, yea, in all my excitement, I almost forgot to say.....


Thank you matt!!!

I am up and running on ICS now

[portscan]

Igknight, did you install the new drivers included in the utility in the drivers folder?

[outsider2011]

im kind of having a problem here...i downloaded the utility and the ICS files...i then put my phone into AP Fastboot mode as your utility said, everything in AP Fasboot mode checked out perfect but when trying to use the utility to choose option 1 because im on GB Eclipse 1.3 all it says is "waiting for phone" and yes phone is plugged into the computer already...can anyone help me please? and should i do a data wipe before doing this or after puting ics on the phone? thanks in advance

Option 1 straight away. AP Fastboot mode.

2. Does option 1 restore .181? or I need to use utility 1.6 to restore .181 first?

This restores 181.... 1.6 is never needed again.

3. copy .211 update to ext. sd

Do this first!

4. Flash through recovery. hold both volume and pwr buttons right?

Yes.

5. option 3 to root
Yes

6. install either bootstrap or safestrap if I want
Safestrap recommended


Please correct me if I am wrong.

Put the 211 update on the SD card.
Run Option 1.
Reboot into Recovery and install the 211 update.
????
Profit.

So I am getting my wife a Razr for her birthday. Gonna activate it tomorrow. It's on full stock .181. If the OTA is not release by tomorrow afternoon I am gonna load up .211 with this. My thinking is I cannot just the throw .211 on the sd card and load it up due to the phone having GB recovery so I should do option 1 first right??

LOL, your PM box is full. I can only imagine what it's full of.

I don't comment very often, but when I do, it's because you're awesome. Thanks Batman!

[outsider2011]

ok installed drivers and did option 1 and it went smooth...i then went into recovery on my phone, wiped data/cache partition and went to install the ics file but when it gets to verifying the installation it comes up with this:

installing update...
assert failed: mount("ext3', "mtd", "system", "/system")
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
installation aborted

did i do something wrong?

Hello all,

I've tried to load the 1.7 utility onto my pc. I unzipped it, and everytime I try to open it I get the initial load where it says hit any key to continue. I hit a key and everything disappears. Any hints?

[mule0331]

Extract the utility.

I've extracted everything, or I thought I did.

[mule0331]

After I unzipped, I see 3 things in the folder. Drivers, files and Razr utilities batch files.

[mule0331]

I tried to extract again, and got an error message at the adb file

[wyld]

Search and download winRAR and extract files with that?

Oh man, After all day of fighting going from Stock non ICS non root, I had to do the below, I really hope it helps someone
First name that file to update.zip, put on root on your SD card not the phone, I put it on both. Remeber SHOW File Details, not update.zip.zip or just update, "Update.zip"!
1. Install drivers (I assume you unziped Only the 1.7 utility)
2. Rename and install/copy update.zip on "Your" SD not the phones but external, Copy to both is what I did
3. debug usb mode, run "ADMIN" File .bat from 1.7 utility, Follow instuctions #1 first and kept getting e:data error (7) etc..
4. After AP Fastboot "Utility Intructions", if you hold -+ vol together go to recover, and hit up vol for enter, Wipe the phone, clear, reboot
5. Go into "AP Fastboot" run Option 2 from Util, Repeat step 4 when Utility says so
6. phone will freeze on power off, DONT PANNIC, Hold VOL +/- and Power watch flicker
7. Power and reboot into Recover as explained in step 4 repeat it, doing wipe. Dont reboot yet
8. Install Update.zip from external card, let it run till finished about 10 min, reboot and enjoy!!

Hope this is clear enough and helps someone else.. This is what worked for me.. If someone can see mistake, please feel free to fix it, I apologize I was in a rush.

Some maybe confused here, power and down will get you into AP Fastboot, the Volume up and down will get you into a menu for recovery/AP Fastboot, etc etc.. Up key on not sure but i think recovery.. before hitting power of course...

[drewski11]

Definitely needs a data wipe... and a reboot at that as well.

It shows userdata is your problem right on there x_X

i have this assert failed with the userdata as well.

i've wiped data / cache and rebooted. reran Option 1. still getting the userdata Assert Failed error.

First I wanna say thanks for all the work you put into this phone and forum. Without all the developers here I would have no clue how to do any of this. I have a dumb question this works perfectly for me accept it doesn't show the selections in the beginning it says the= too powerful to fall into the wrong hands
Please make a selection or hit enter to exit: like I said it works fine from here but is there a way to get the selections to show up? I'm sure I messed something up just not sure. Thanks

Yeah I knew I was messed up, run as Admin duh!
