It's just a security update from Verizon, not a big deal. If you're rooted it will break root, but just re-run the OCR and you're good to go.

Yea just root after the update. Save yourself possible headaches.

I would. I couldn't use Smart Actions to acquire a location until AFTER the update.

Updated to 0.7.2 with no issues
I just updated to 0.7.2 OTA from Verizon and it didn't break my root. All the rooted apps still work as they did.

Without rootkeeper?

[Q] ICS Official on Cheesecake?

Whats up guys? Last night i was messing around with cheesecake. I was changing the servers around and suddenly I got a "optional system update available" message. It stated that it was 6.16.209.en.us and it was around 354mb. I was apprehensive to d/l it. Wish I did because now I cant seem to find it. Just had to go back to stock .173 then back to .181 just to fix the update check. Has anyone tried this version of ICS?

Yea its a app that checks other Motorola servers from what I understand. You need to have root. HOWEVER, do not use unless you made a backup. Once it changes where the device looks for the OTA it cannot be undone. I switched to the QA 1 server and it popped up that an optional update is available for download ( 6.16.209.en.us. ). I was apprehensive on downloading it. I continued to mess around with the servers and noticed another update on the "dev1" server. 6.16.208.en.us. i got paranoid and freaked out that i couldnt get it back to check the regular server so i did a factory wipe and still couldnt!! So i had to d/l the razr utility tool to flash back to .173 then OTA to .181.

Any updates on this? I'm curious about this, can't be official though?
It looked official from what im reading. It stated that the build was made on may 18. I think the exact phrase was that i would be going from M3-8 to M5-18 i think thats referring to may 18th. I could try it again. But just thought i would see if anyone had any luck with it before i do it. I'll post updates.

Just talked to my buddy Jeff who is on the development side of motorola and this is supposedly going to be the OTA in the next 3 weeks.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Sweet! Only on verizon though?
From what i understand. My friend got the OTA with her Galaxy Nexus like a week ago. The razr still has yet to receive the ota. My maxx got the ota today thanks to cheescake. 6.16.210.en.us baby!

Or is it Theodore Ochsen? He's a developer for Motorola and has a few apps out. Supposedly he developed the cheesecake app.

Update Failed

I tried to download that 6 MB update and it fails about halfway while trying to install it. Could it be doing that since I had to flash to stock? And do you think that I will be able to update to JB when it is released?

Did you freeze or uninstall any bloat?
Sent from my JB'd X2
If you intend to use ota updates you should probably never uninstall bloat upon rooting. Here's hoping you only froze it. I learned this the hard way back on my Droid x. Stopped gingerbread from installing when VZW finally pushed it and I was pretty new to doing anything beyond getting root.
Sent from my Droid RAZR HD MAXX using the XDA Developer App
So what happens if u un installed or froze bloat? What options do we have to recover this?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
If you froze a simple unfreeze should be fine. If you deleted it sounds like you'll need to use RSD Lite to go back to the stock firmware before taking the update.

I froze bloatware.

Then unfreeze it and try the update again.

Actually probably only the radios are different, if this situation is any similar with the D3, it should work minus phone and data
a confirmation from the dev may be needed just to be sure the radios wont fry if flashed with wrong software
Get it working for the Maxx HD!
Radios are deff different and some other stuff

Thanks, hope to see more. I just upgraded from the thunderbolt which has all but vanished from the scene. Loving the battery life on this one...
Updated OP with new CM10 version.
Has anyone worked out the difference between the international xt925 (unlocked loader) and the XT926?

Did you check the MD5 of the download before you began? Is your boot loader unlocked? Are you on stock ICS or JB leak? Did you use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper for any reason? All shots in the dark... worked OK for me on stock rooted 4.0.4.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I'm unlocked.
On Jelly Bean leak
Yes I have Vodoo Root Keeper.
For some reason I thought I needed to be on Jelly Bean leak.
Could it be root keeper causing the problems?

Another question since I see your name in a lot of good info. I thought I saw somewhere about replacing that stupid unlock warning with the Motorola symbol again.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Not sure about this but make a backup of your current state (you probably already have) then in Voodoo app delete the SU backup then try again. Also I'm not sure if it can be installed on JB leak (not saying don't do it, I'm saying I don't know.)
@dhacker29 or @Hashcode0f via twitter will be able to answer your questions if my suggestion doesnt work.
EDIT: just updated the OP with his download page... There seems to be a newer version out anyway, try them.
Thanks

Did this work for you? Did you remove Voodoo root keeper? I have trouble like you trying to install this rom

Rooting jb with maxx hd preloaded with jb

Im getting my maxx hd in two days and noticed some ways to root on ics. If i get my maxx and its preloaded with jb can i still use matts utility to fastboot back to ics and get root then use rootkeeper?
Thanks!
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
It will probably come pre-loaded with ICS but if for some reason it comes with JB then yes you can restore back to ICS and root. Enjoy

I just got my good old RAZR Maxx HD after a repair and they already upgraded it to jb 4.1.1 (when I shipped, he had ICS). Is it possible to go back to ICS now? Anyone has done it? Thanks in advance.

Yes sir it is! Just Google matts utility and download that. Make sure to backup all your data before you restore your phone back to ICS. Enjoy!

Thanks man... but other people say it's impossible to downgrade to ICS once u had stock jb. How can I do it without bricking my spanking new Droid?

Other people don't know what they are talking about haha. I have been restored back to ICS multiple times. Use Matt's utility and I am sure you will not have any problems whatsoever.

New to the HD

OK, just traded my S3 for this bad boy and even though I can't unlock the boot loader its still awesome and I love it. I do have it rooted on the latest firmware but like I said, no unlock sadly. How much fun can I actually have with it just rooted but not unlocked?

You can now rest easy knowing that when you turn on your phone you wont be frightened by TouchPiss and the gawd awful button layout.
Now the fun really beings. Make your own mods. No more flashing broken roms and waiting for the dev to fix them. You start with the stable stock rom and mod it. Although my bl is unlocked this is what im doing.
Can I flash things without an unlocked bootloader?? I mainly want a kernel which might not happen. :/

And yea, touchwiz got old. I absolutely love the build quality and screen on this phone!!! Amazing!

Can't flash a different kernel but as mentioned you can do basic mods or even use safestrap and use some of the old roms.

What kind of build prop mods can I do to help with speed?

I don't know about build prop tweaks but have you ditched the stock launcher yet? Nova and Apex are both smoother and faster than the stock one.
