Having the exact same issue... others are as well. Been looking around for a flashable file, but no luck.

Thinking more and more that this is a Verizon issue. I have received it for the last 24hrs when trying to pull the JB update. Was able to pull the 6mb update just fine Sunday. Hearing the same from others, regardless of where they are in the downgrade -> root -> update process.

Have you tried contacting Verizon about the issue? I went the Moto route this morning, which was a complete waste of time.
Would it be possible to simply keep this stock rooted ics rom on stock rom slot of safe strap and then download jellybean roms and put them on the others?
Maybe no need to even take this ota updates that aren't working.

I tried this. It got me absolutely nowhere. My roommate went through this process Sunday with no problem, but for some reason as of Monday updating is not working
used RSD lite and flashed the latest JB. but obviously lost root.
Nice to be back on JB... but was hoping id keep root. Verizon needs to get their stuff together. unless someone else has a diferent method.
Did you have to have the 0.7.2 update to do that?

Same issue
I have been having the same issue. Bought a new Razr HD and have been trying to complete the downgrade/root/upgrade process since monday. Nothing I have tried has worked as far as downloading the 6mb update file, rooted or unrooted, WiFi or 4G. I have searched the internet high and low for this file, but no one seems to have it???
I also used RSDLite to flash back to 4.1.1 I did this from ICS via Razr HD Utility without the 6mb update no problems, but obviously lost root.
I hope this issue is resolved soon, because I'd really like to be on JB rooted.
Edit: I had to edit the 4.1.1 XML file removing lines containing "getvar" for it to flash. Full instructions can be had here on xda.
I am going to have to do that too. Thanks for the help. I'll search for the xml edit, not sure how to do that.

It's pretty simple. Heres how I did it.
Download VZW_XT926_4.1.1_9.8.1Q_39_VQW_CFC.xml.zip from droid-developers
Extract the file to your desktop (or wherever), find the .XML file in the folder and open it with notepad, or your editor of choice. IIRC there were two lines with "getvar" in it, just remove both of those lines completely and then save the file. Now boot into Fastboot, open RSDLite and connect your phone. Now load the XML file that you just edited and flash back to JB. Hope this helps.
If I do manage to find the 0.7.2 update file, I will certainly share but no luck so far.
Thanks again! I can't wait to get off work to do this. I'll let you know how it goes

ok, sorry, i dont get it... cannot figure out how to put the xml into rsd lite and load it.
Found the update...6mb... on another forum. Flashable in recovery. See droidrzr.com

I was downgrading from JB to ICS in order to root, but once I rooted ICS, I couldn't download the 0.7.2 System version update.
Now I go Settings>About Phone> System updates and an error message pops up says "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete." But it has been saying that for hours and I don't see it downloading anywhere.
I can't update to JB with out the 0.7.2 System version update from 0.6.25 System Version...
Anybody seen this before?

Known issue. You will have to downgrade to ICS root and then flash the two updates in recovery, the otas won't download for whatever reason.

I had rooted the atrix 2 on the old android. Worked flawlessly.
Now the phone has an update and I thought this was ICS - must be too good to be true. In the mean time my phone lost its root. Not a problem.
I just want to know how do I get my stock atrix boot animation back on the atrix 2 since I can not use rom toolbox?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any help in the next 24hrs would be great. I want to return this phone to the store and go to verizon before my 30 days is up and I am locked in the contract. I want to get out and get in verizon's double data deal.

You would have to revert back to 2.3.5, by flashing the fkz. Then you would have to reapply root and push the stock bootanimation to /system/media/. This will not work in 2.3.6 because you cannot mount system as rw w/o root.
Read the nOOb section, flash your phone with the modified fxz.

Here's the noob thread. (not saying that to be demeaning- it's just what it's called ) Scroll down to "how to flash a fxz". Make sure you also follow the directions directly under it about flashing the fxz after you install the OTA update.
Thanks for all your help in pointing me in the right direction.

Your Xoom is 3g Verizon version, stingray cdma. Just unlock boot loader, flash recovery IMG thru adb, thru which you can flash a pre rooted ROM from team eos

goo.im has been flaky since they started doing site maintenance this weekend. I have not been able to get any files off goo since last Thursday.
Since you want to go to JB anyway, you could pull the stingray_cdma nightly from jenkins and flash it.
http://jenkins.teameos.org/job/stingray_cdma/101/artifact/out/EOS-stingray_cdma-20120814-101.zip
That link seems to be working even though it goes to goo.im for the download.
Up and running rooted. Thanks a bunch for the help!
Hey guys,
Tried installing ICS with my rooted ATRIX2. It failed so I did some reading found out you had to unroot to update. Went back unrooted and still the update fails. I rooted with casual public beta. Unrooted using the one click method. No idea how to flash my phone to a different rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to update and root again.

So you was rooted on 2.3.6 right?
If so you need to just fxz back to gb 2.3.6, and then try the ota. But beware, the ota has no fxz to save you in case of a screw up.
Fxz found here:

Even if you have unrooted, if you deleted any of the stock apps, or still have a custom recovery set up at boot, then the update won't work. Like previously stated, you need to FXZ back to completely stock gingerbread, then run the update. I had the same issue.

question about update to ICS
Noticed a lot of people having problems with Battery( not charging) going dead quickly due to media files. any comments would be helpful and Thanks.
Ok i followed all the steps loaded my phone into fastboot flash, installed the drivers, download rsd lite 5.7, and I cant get RSD Lite to recognize my phone. I uninstalled and re installed the necessary drivers and still nothing. I also noticed when picking a file in RSD Lite when I go to select a file there are two. (edison-user 2.3.6 5.5.1-175_EDMR1.25 5.51.175.25 release-keys2011-11-16 23:52 Off.Bld LUD_EDISON_R1D7_PATCH_36_111116_2336 crh1090280_M570_PC_CARD_RAIN) or (ndp). I am assuming that I need to flash the first file.
Any help on where I went wrong or why it isnt recognizing my phone would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I am a noob to modding phones. I promise I learn quickly and appreciate your patience.

I rooted my phone. After the update I lost root, but no worries I wanted to try Isis anyway, (live in SLC). Have the secure sim but the Isis software keeps saying It wont work with rooted phones and that my phone won't work. I re-rooted and then followed the Un-root procedure but it still doesn't work. Did a full reset and still nothing.
Does anyone know how to get this phone back to the out of the box software?
Thanks
I believe u will have to use rsd lite and flash ur stock software
And with the new update.. if u have root Isis will detect it and not work

If you want to use the update, I would just manually flash it, not download it OTA (of course, you wouldn't be using the custom ROM any more after doing that).
