I received my new vz RAZR hd about a month ago. It is running 4.0.4, and I read somewhere that it's hard to root jelly bean after the upgrade. So I rooted mine installed a root keeper. But I still haven't received any notification saying that it update was available. Have they pushed the JB update to the HD yet? Or will I be waiting at least 6 months like I did on my milestone droid and X?

o2's post may be the answer, although I know little about LATAM. Just two days ago, I rooted my newly acquired RAZR HD (XT926), install OTA RootKeeper, temp un-rooted, and took the OTA updates. All seemed to work for me. I'm at Verizon's stock 4.1.1 (version 1 of Jelly Bean).
Verizon wireless is my carrier.

The JB update was pushed out early this year you should be able to DL it. This may be a stupid Q but have you tryed manual update you know settings>about phone>system update?

I think I've got it figured out. From what I've heard.if you're roaming you cannot receive update notifications. I'm roaming 100 percent of the time because I live in the sticks. I just wish there was a way that I could update over wifi. I'm running 4.0.4 still. I'd like to get updated because of the reception and I heard the camera is a lot better. I've searched on the correct download to at least get me too JB but I'm not sure which version is next. I've already got root keeper with anticipation that I may get in OTA update. But it looks like that's not going to happen. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Why on earth can't you update over wifi? A Google search revealed many people update over wifi.

seems like there isn't much going on with 3g and 4g editions because not many have them. Haven't heard anything about ota I do know the 700 just got it. Hopefully all editions will be updated soon

Still no JB for TF300TL's. And from what I can see, the driver for the LTE NIC is not online so changing ROM's would loose that functionality, right?

Download what you need and move along.
So I just put in an order for a new Droid razr MAXX HD to replace my Droid Incredible 2 and I'm very glad to see that Verizon has started to push out JB updates to these phones already as you are all well away, HTC hasn't shown my Incredible 2 any ICS love. My plan with this phone is to keep it stock but rooted, no custom roms as I no longer want to go through that process and I think I can live with the stock device at this point. I was wondering whether I should root the phone before downloading the update and use OTA Rootkeeper to restore root access after updating to JB or hold off rooting until there is an exploit for JB. I have never used OTA Rootkeeper and I'm not sure if people have used this method already so I was hoping someone could give me advice before I go messing with a new unlocked phone.
Yea ota root keeper works for the jb update

I can confirm that it works just fine. I believe this is the only way to get root on JB at the time, actually.

Yeah, that means it's probably gonna be a while before we get a root option to use on JB only.

So I just got this phone and it already has the latest OTA update. Is there a root for this yet? If so, direct me to it as I see links for only the previous version.

If you got the latest OTA update on your phone already, there currently is no root for that version yet. The latest OTA update made downgrading to ICS undoable. So, if you're on the newest OTA, you'll pretty much have to sit tight until it's possible to root on Jelly Bean itself.

I saw that thread before I created this one, but it wasnt definite that it would work with 926 and 4.1.2, the latest OTA.

That only works on the developer edition according to the third or fourth post. There is currently no root method for 4.1.2.

Yep..thats the conclusion I came up with.
Just for future reference to anyone holding out on installing the update: I used voodoo ota root keeper to transfer my root across the update and that worked great!

Even for those who are on 926, 4.1.2 latest OTA that have never rooted their phone? From what I read, nothing is avail yet.
I too am on the lookout for a root method for version 926. Seems like the Razr Maxx Hd had even more bloatware than the prior Razr Maxx.

Yea... I had a Razr Maxx and used Titanium Backup to remove lots of it. Looking forward to doing the same thing with Razr Maxx Hd
I also used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the bloatware. I took it a step further and created a filter and labels for frequntly used apps that eat up system resources and data. For example, I would unfreeze as needed Google Play store and Maps etc., then refreeze. I saw a huge increase in battery life etc.
Anywho... hopefully a root method is on its way soon.

Hopefully? Iord I've been praying for it and even trying to pay for it lol. I was so focused on getting the 4.1.2 update that I rushed it and found out a day or few later as other people got it that you can't even downgrade to previous versions (son of a Bi***....) so I seriously regret taking the update as now we are on a long waiting list that may never come...

Received Droid HD as a replacement device from Verizon b/c the Razr M they kept giving me was constantly dropping 4G connection. The HD they sent me already had JB 4.1.2 on it. Has anyone successfully gotten Root? I have already tried RSD Lite to downgrade, fail, tried Matt's Utility, fail......Looking for some advice?

No rot found yet for that update. Always smarter to wait and make sure you can keep root before updating. Or at the very least try using OTA rootkeeper prior to updating.

Possible Fix
Shouldn't he just be able to flash back to stock ICS (With MattlGroff's Utility) and attain root, then re-update?

Hey there, I own the Droid Razr Maxx HD. I was wondering does anyone know if the Droid Razr getting the new android Kit Katt update??? Also does anyone know how to root the Droid Razr HD Maxx??
We don't even have 4.2 yet
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure anyone knows exactly who is getting the update, since it hasn't even been released. I'd bet that there will be ROMs based on it though sometime after it is released. Edit: like the above poster we still haven't even been officialy updated to 4.2, then their is 4.3, so we have awhile to go.

Kit Kat to is reportedly being available for even older devices so I see no reason why it can't. Rumor is Google wants to get kit Kat to as many devices as possible.

I hate agreeing with rumors, because so often they are wrong. But, hypothetically, if it were available to older devices, a lot of carrier influence would have to be side stepped. Secondly, if it were that easy to get on older devices, CM would probably have a stable stock build fairly soon. At least that's what I hope. I have my device rooted and unlocked but I'm still on stock because of all the issues with 4.2 and 4.3 that I've seen. I'm really hoping Kit Kat changes that.
only hope that
