Razr maxx hd os upgrade issue - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
I have a rooted razr maxx hd, and I received an upgrade notification last week. I used OTA rootkeeper to secure my root, and then upgraded to the latest OS. Once it upgraded, I used OTA rootkeeper to reinstate root.
I have had nothing but problems with the latest update. My phone freezes at least twice a day.
What can I do to fix this?

Unless you want to fast boot and lose root, I would install safestrap and flash a new rom

But how can I install a new ROM when I have the latest OS, which doesn't have root. Can I install safestrap on the latest OS and still go back to the previous OS? Or do I need to fastboot back to the old rom unrooted, then install safestrap, then install a rooted rom?

You said you reinstated root no? Update your super su binaries then install safestrap app and recovery. You can't go back to anything on the latest ota. what I'm suggesting is starting over with a fresh install of a new rom or a stock rom using safestrap. Your original install would remain untouched.

I tried to use Safestrap and tried two different roms, but they failed to install. Now my phone won't restart at all, seems bricked. What can I do?
I have tried using safe strap with multiple roms. One of them installed but wouldn't recognize my sd card. Another just made my phone freeze.
The one I really want to install is is just 4.1.1 with root, but every version of that I've tried to install immediately fails. Don't know if I'm just finding flawed files, or if it's something I'm doing.
What are my options at this point?

4.1.1 is not a rom, it is an ota... Im not sure what you are trying to do, but if you are on 4.1.2 OTA and kept root(restored root) and have safestrap installed you are good. There is no way to go back or downgrade to ICS with this latest OTA(4.1.2) yet. Once you are in safestrap I would create a back up of you stock slot, just hit boot options and make sure stock Rom is highlighted(it will also say Rom Slot: stock in red on top). Once that is done create a rom slot by going through boot options, rom-slot-1 and choose the size partition you want and then create rom slot. You can then restore the back up of stock slot you made before, just make sure you are on rom slot 1. Then wipe cache/dalvik/system/data, which are the top 4 options. Now you can install any rom which should be on your external sd card. There are some that are not daily drivers yet with things that are broken, but there are also fully functional ones. There are a couple other forums which have several roms that are only posted on those respective forums. You just have to look around.

I have done all of the above. I have 4.1.2 and saved and restored root. I have also installed safestrap. The problem I'm having is that every ROM I've tried to install is flawed (e.g. doesn't recognize my SD card, won't boot past splash screen). I really just want to go back to 4.1.1 OTA + root, which I found in the XDA development folder. But when I try to load it in safestrap using one of the rom slots, I just get an error. I've tried multiple versions, same result.
Is there anything I can do?

Like I said 4.1.1 is not a rom, it is a firmware and the file you are trying to install is a firmware upgrade. That post was for the jb leak, so you can download it when on ICS and upgrade to it while keeping root. To keep root you follow the steps in that post. Since you are rooted and on 4.1.2 now, you cannot go back to 4.1.1 on your stock slot. And there is no reason to try to flash a rom slot with a firmware upgrade because it will not work. So your phones main firmware is now 4.1.2 which can not be changed back to 4.1.1. If you need to sbf you will have to use the sbf file for 4.1.2 and that will restore your phone to stock 4.1.2 only and you will loose root for good. Or at least until there is a way to root on this latest ota which may not be for a while.
If you want a rom, it will say [Rom] in that title. Batakang, Inflicted HD and wWidow HD which are posted on this forum all work with no problems. Most of the others have either mounting(sd card), camera or something not working. And like I said there are some more out there on other forums that are fully functional as well, search... All of these roms are based off either ICS, or JB 4.1.1 and will work in safestrap on any rom slot except stock even though you have 4.1.2 on stock slot. Now if you are saying that even flashing roms which are listed as fully functional gives you an error then you are either doing something wrong, or have done something wrong when rooting.
Also if you created any rom slots, just delete them so you can start over. Create rom slot 1 and restore your back up of stock slot to it and wipe all 4 i listed above before installing the rom.

I'm on ota 4.1.2 + root with no problem at all, no longer lag with the stock launcher also.
At first the ota upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 was failed, so i used the utility 1.1 to go back to stock 4.0.4, root, install voodoo ota, temp unroot, upgrade, restore root..
Hope it helps

You need to update to 4.1.2 using that factory fastboot files and then root again. I did the same and it made a noticeable difference in how my phone ran. I'll get you the windows link to the files. If you run Linux I'll have to upload what I've put together. Its based on mattlgroff HD utility but updates you to 4.1.2 and roots it.
Link for fastboot files. Install rsdlite and the moto drivers if in windows.

Do the files in that link include a fastboot that is ALREADY rooted? If not, how do I go about rooting once I install?

I followed your directions precisely, but once I used the fastboot files, the phone was NO LONGER rooted. How do I get root on 4.1.2? Your post gave the impression that if I installed the files you included, the phone should immediately be rooted.

So what happens if....
I am tempted to go back to a regular sense 2.1 stock rooted ROM and attempt the upgrade even though I know I might not be able to root again for a while. I rooted through revolutionary. What is the worst, likely thing that could happen? Will I boot back up to all of my data on the stock Thunderbolt ICS? Sent from my Sense 4 ICS Thunderbolt with Tapatalk 2

Sent from my Sense 4 ICS Thunderbolt with Tapatalk 2 Click to expand... Click to collapse You, of course, need to fully unroot before you flash back to the stock ROM and take the OTA. If you do not fully unroot, taking the OTA will brick you since it contains a new encrypted hboot. I would just wait for the rooted version of the OTA to be released, which should be posted within the next few days. It would suck to unroot and take the OTA and then have to wait however long before you can root again. However, if you're talking about flashing an old stock ROM backup that you may have made a long time ago, it wont have any complications. You will be able to receive the OTA then, but do not install it without fully unrooting first.

Click to collapse I wouldn't trust it. Just download the files and go through command prompt to unroot. Not sure if it can be done with trter10s tool or not. I rooted mine with the same method and when I ran trter10s tool and hooked up my phone, it basically was saying it was interrupted. So I had to unroot the old manual way through command prompt. If you can use his tool though, by all means, use it. It will definitely save you time.

I was previously on the most up-to-date version of gingerbread, and used HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1 to S-off/root the device. I flashed stock recovery 2.11.605.9 to the device. I downloaded the following RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.11.605.9_Radio_0.01.78.0916w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_226879_signed, pulled the rom.zip from it, and renamed it to PG05IMG.zip to flash it to the device. The device then updated itself to the most up-to-date gingerbread version. I then performed the update for ICS, it installed itself just fine, and the device booted up into ICS. I checked the bootloader, it says that I am S-off Hboot-6.04.1002, and Radio-2.02.00.1117r. After restarting the device, I started HTC Thunderbolt tool v1.0.1. It asked if I wanted to install SU, I said yes, and it proceeded through it. Once the program finished its installation, I had the SU app in the app drawer, and downloaded ROM Manager so that I could install the recovery, it asked for SU permission to install it. I then restarted just fine into recovery to double check that it was there.

This is apparently a known issue. You will have to manually download the updates and flash them in recovery to get to JB and keep root. See droidrzr forum for the flashable files. I went ahead and put both the updates on my sdcard and flashed them both in recovery. I tried since Monday to get the OTA with no luck. Make sure you temp unroot/restore between flashes. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2 Here are the links to the incremental update as well as the JB update, both flashable in recovery (once you have downgraded to ICS + rooted, etc.) http://tinyurl.com/cjcmnt6 http://tinyurl.com/ctbr9s7 Happy rooting! Hmm.. I just noticed that you rooted after the OTA would not download (it won't download for anyone rooted or not at this time, maybe network problem). If you do NOT wish to keep root and update to JB then you can simply use RSDLite or Motorola Utility to upgrade to stock JB from ICS. It is not required that you download or flash the incremental update if you use this method. Hope this helps.
Rooting 4.1.2
I had a problem when I upgraded to 4.1.2 on my rooted 4.1.1 Razr HD Maxx. I followed the directions from the following post, and was able to reinstall 4.1.2 via fastboot files, but for some reason, Root is gone. The poster said the fastboot file would give root. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem? You need to update to 4.1.2 using that factory fastboot files and then root again. I did the same and it made a noticeable difference in how my phone ran. I'll get you the windows link to the files. If you run Linux I'll have to upload what I've put together. Its based on mattlgroff HD utility but updates you to 4.1.2 and roots it.

Click to collapse The first thing you need to do is unlock the boot loader. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW45FPZNv4g Secondly, install TWRP, I find it much easier to use than CWM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKneYkGqp_A Put the ROM and gapps on your external SD. Boot into TWRP. Back up the stock rom. Wipe data. Then install the new ROM. Then install gapps. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps I am sure there is much more detailed threads on how to do this, but that is the quick answer.
[Q] Are 4.4 kitkat roms possible on baseband i535vrbmb1 with cwm?
I have an S3 that I am currently running. SenergyRom 484. Using Android 4.1.2 and CWM. Is it possible to run one of the 4.3 or 4.4 custom Roms on CWM without locking the boot loader? Also, is there an easy way for me to update CWM to TWRP 2.0 without using Odin?

I use goo manager to update my twrp recovery or u can download from there site. If u take the 4.3ota u will lock ur bootloader. Theres a rooted 4.3 that wont lock ur bootloader Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

Thanks you all! Updated with EZ-Recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.1 Now to Nab a 4.4 ROM - Backing up my phone now - Will be making a Nandroid backup soon as I get finished copying the SD card contents. I just got a Note 3 so I will be selling this S3. I wanted to make sure I had a clean rom and rooted for whom ever ends up getting it. Keeping the unlocked bootloader so they can enjoy custom roms is pretty awesome. I was just thinking of sticking it on Ebay. Is there a better site to sell it on?
