I'm liking the update as well. Battery life is much better.

Everyone says they get this amazing battery life and yet I still get the same I last about 22 hours till I get to 20 percent. I guess I'm just a heavy user.

Strangest thing...
Was rooted, stock 211.
Made sure SuperUser and su binaries were up to date. su binary was the tricky part.
Put the update zip on my SD card.
Used TiBU to back up all apps and data.
Used OTA Rootkeeper to back up root, unroot, reroot, unroot, and reroot.
Used Motorola recovery to install the update from the SD card.
Rebooted from recovery.

Now rocking JellyBean. Rooted.

The strange part: Just rebooted into JB. Did NOT have to restore su or use TiBU to restore any apps or data.
Did not wipe data or cache at any point, either.

You didn't need to restore your apps because you didn't wipe data & cache.

Took the plunge, and all worked well! Only a couple of issues so far... I can't get Swype to work. It is in the system options under Language and Input, and is checked. When I long press on a text input box, it is not an option.

Can't seem to find my music... Is the app named something different?

Go to System Settings/language & input
Press on "Default"... it will allow you to change keyboard to there.

Didn't need to recover su with OTA Rootkeeper, either. That is what I really found surprising.

Any ideas why this blur homescreen service is taking up so much of the battery use on my RAZR MAXX?

I took the OTA update and was able to maintain root. I've already done a complete factory reset since without any change.

I'm not using any other launcher. I did try the RAZR M launcher but decided i didn't want it. Did the factory reset after that (I still have root).

This looks like pretty good longevity but I haven't used the phone much this session. Battery life for me is actually worse since the update and I fear this is the culprit?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Had a slight problem regaining root. Had followed the instructions to the letter, since I was on a JB ROM and had ss3 installed, I fastbooted back to .211 after a factory wipe. Apparently, if you do this wipe AFTER you fastboot to .211 and root and protect with voodoo, you'll lose root AND the backup as well. I went through a few hours of banging my head against the wall and tried every method mentioned here. Found that if you clear the app data cache for your SU, and then reboot, you can use the root restore utility matt provided. otherwise it may not work.
I now have rooted jelly bean goodness thanks to all the hard work from Matt and the other devs out here. My hat is off to you, gentlemen!

bugly,

thanks for sharing; but I could use some clarification:

since I'm reading this on my Razr-sized screen, & you didn't break up the text into 'paragraphs' based on the chronological order, i'm confused… not trying to diss you, just explain my confounded understanding…

I thought w/this update, you can't run Matt's 182 util to Fastboot back to 211; so I'm guessing you were on an ICS-based JB rom, or Matt's util wouldn't help… & since it did, you should know that 182 is like getting a Stock update OTA & everything is wiped like it just came out of the Verizon showroom…

So please clarify which steps you took in what order, b/c I have the feeling that the last bit about wiping app data cache could be very, very valuable once it is understood in context & I'm considering taking the plunge to JB, so any input youcan further share would be very valuable & much appreciated…

thanks in advance & good work on that root fix you got…

Hey guys, need a little help. I saw another post with the same issue. I lost root after sideloading the JB update so I called and recieved a replacement from verizon. I want to return the JB razr but the speruser app is still showing in the app drawer and under recovery it shows qe 1/1.
How do I remove/uninstall/delete it?
I verified with root checker I do not have root. thanks...
