Does this mean if I'm on stock 211, BUT ROOTED, I could flash 215 through Moto recovery?

Yup

Just make sure you have all bloat unfrozen and backup root w/ Voodoo OTA then temp unroot. I don't think the root will effect the install but it saves you from having to run the root script again when you're on .215

This has worked for many... didn't for me, but its worth a try.

What Voodo OTA Keeper? It worked for me this time, but every other time I've tried its failed. So who knows. Hit and miss thing I guess.

I didn't read all of the post so my question is a reasonable one even if asked before lol.. Does 215 fix speaker silence at certain times when watching a video? Since i upgraded to 214 my sound would not work at times when i watched u YouTube video. Only fix was going into sound and touching the ringer volume.

Thanks.

nah Voodoo worked just fine, the update just wouldn't take... I got a common error with this (sideload error status 7)... I ended up flashing back to stock .211 with Matt's Utility 1.8, rooting, unrooting and then updating... and then rerooting... working awesome

For me, .211 was better than. 214 as far as battery life goes. .215 is better than. 211 lol. Really happy with this.

[portscan]

A little battery test today for .215. Seems to be a tad better than .214, and I was really pleased with .214. I am on a Maxx, so I will get good battery regardless. I used her pretty tough until about 6 tonight when I was done with work. I am sitting at over 14 hours with 40% to go. Posted a few screenshots throughout the day. Loving Chrome on the Razr btw...

After fastbooting back to .211, is rooting necessary before going into stock recovery and flashing .215?

You can root, then save root with Voodoo, or just flash .215, then root with 1.8 after it's done. Your choice

[JDunc]

Thank you. I didn't see the point of rooting, and unrooting when I could just flash .215 then root.

[arcanexvi]

Unrooting... Has... Never... Been... Necessary...

but but if i unroot it stops it from growing good sir.. and im currently rooted.. and its like vine tentacle rape.. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP

[dillanshives]

When I took this update I didn't bother rooting after fresh install of .211, I just flashed the update and rooted with the utility, saved me some time.

[masterfisto]

Running the leak and this has to be the best battery I've ever gotten out of my og razr! The only problem is that the radio seems worse than. 214? Not sure, but I'll give it a couple of days.

I see a lot of folks re-installing their custom rom post upgrading to .215. But with safestrap is this unnecessary? I don't care about my non-safe side, I hardly use it. So can't I just use the 1.81 util to go back to stock, apply this update, then use the 1.81 to install safestrap. Switch to my safe side and back into my old rom? Or did I loose those files when I went back to stock and I need to insert another step of doing a nandroid of the safe side to the external card?

Hello all, I have a couple of questions and was wondering if someone could answer them for me.

Once a razr user went to ICS, are there only options for kernels 211,214 and 215?

If one is on 215, is it possible to downgrade to 214 without having to convert to stock and then move up to 214?

A little info on my kernel experience.
-----Back when we had 181, my signals were excellent. Never had call or data issues.
-----211 just made me wonder, what the hell was happening with my phones coverage. Had weak signals, choppy calls and very slow data. Had crappy battery life
-----214 was much better than 211, but still experienced some of the same issues as 211. Battery life was better than the others.
-----215 is the worst. No service signal alot of times, very, very choppy calls. (Most time I have to hang up and use lanline). Data outright sucks. downrigt awful battery.

All of this is based on my home location. I even live within 1 mile from a tower.

I have been running 215 for about 3 days now. I have cleared out everything several times over. (Data, Caches, including Dalvik I formated all storage to make sure nothing would upset this phone)

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks

No, im pretty sure the only option is to go .211 to .214. I may be wrong however, have not tried this myself.

But as far as the rest of your post. I agree. On everything.

Thanks for the reply. From doing some reading, I feel that you are right. Is signal issues due to the baseband and not the kernel? If so, are we able to change basebands? Does the locked bootloader restrict us from doing this?
