Yes it should, I used the Fastboot files listed on the noob guide, and this "How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!
NOTE: Download this file HERE -
Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).
You should be able to use RSD Lite to flash the file.
THANKS TO COGEARY FOR THESE STEPS
" that's all there, so you should be able to flash over stock 2.3.6, boot into fastboot and run this
worked flawlessly from 2.3.6 with the failed fastboot issue. nice work! thanls

Instead of using RSD to flash stock, you can use this automatic script.
I've never had to flash a fxz either. So i'm not totally understanding it. Do we flash the zip from our sd card on our phones without a computer involved? Do we extract the zip first. I'm bewildered :banghead:
I don't have a windows box so none of that rsd stuff applies either. If this could work for me I'd be grateful to anybody for explaining it. Also, more willing to experiment haha.

It's a Windows batch file that uses fastboot commands to flash the contents of an fxz to your phone. Since you're on Linux then it wouldn't work for you, but it wouldn't be hard to make a shell script adaptation of it.
Ah ha! More clues haha. I understand what your saying. I need to get that process down so I can have more confidence in my own development.

this is a set of windows command prompt commands that flashes a new system image using fastboot. useless on Linux. you could try to adapt it to run in linux terminal.

Try to apply the update manually in recovery mode. It will tell you what file is corrupt. Either out the file back or use fastboot to update.
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
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.

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.)

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.
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?

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.

did you figure it out?
so last night i decided to try CM 10.2 initially it worked great, but after i restarted it that was a different story. it wouldn't reboot and it would hang on the unlocked bootloader logo (my bootloader is unlocked).
does a fxz file exist somewhere for these builds i've searched high and low but couldn't find them.
here is what happened. so i tried flashing it again clearing all the necessary stuff like dalvik cache etc. still nothing, of course before this i made a back up through clockwork but unfortunately that back up wouldn't install either. i checked the logs for clockwork and it had logged that it couldn't read the internal memory and couldn't flash the data folder/partition.
oh boy i felt screwed lol but i had an idea to fastboot and fxz file! now i couldn't find one with the most resent release (mainly build 9.18.79.)
i couldnt flash any other older version fxz because the bootloader would say it failed because of a security feature of not letting you downgrade.
i assumed that it was talking about downgrading the bootloader, so i went in to the xml file of an older fxz and deleted the commands that were causing the problems. and it finally flashed and i got to boot up my phone. then went in to recovery and flashed back my backup perfectly.
what i kinda want to know, since i flashed that older version, all my radios have changed back to an older version. so now i have 9.18.79 but with 9.16.6 radios.
maybe i could cook something up using the OTA, but honestly i really want to know if there is a fxz version for either 9.18.79 or 9.20.1

Just unlocked the bootloader on my MAXX and installed TWRP/Root. I haven't tried upgrading or downgrading versions yet. I'm hoping someone can give me some insight to doing this.
My MAXX is still on 4.2.2(Jellybean) cause I didn't want to risk losing root when my bootloader was locked. Now that that's a non-issue can someone answer these question?
1) Since I'm still on 4.2.2 can I take the 4.4 OTA update even with TWRP installed?
2) If I can't take the update, then I would have to RSD up to 4.4?
3) Once on 4.4 can I go back to 4.2.2 (jellybean)? Seems I've read you can but you can't downgrade the bootloader or a bin file?
I've read differing opinions when it come to this and would like to try 4.4, even though it sounds pretty buggy (email active display, home button double, battery life, etc.) but I'd like to be able to go back if I didn't like it. I've seen a lot of people regretting that they went to KitKat because of these issues.
Thanks,
Mike

1) Since I'm still on 4.2.2 can I take the 4.4 OTA update even with TWRP installed?
2) If I can't take the update, then I would have to RSD up to 4.4?
3) Once on 4.4 can I go back to 4.2.2 (jellybean)? Seems I've read you can but you can't downgrade the bootloader or a bin file?
I've read differing opinions when it come to this and would like to try 4.4, even though it sounds pretty buggy (email active display, home button double, battery life, etc.) but I'd like to be able to go back if I didn't like it. I've seen a lot of people regretting that they went to KitKat because of these issues.
Thanks,
Mike

1) no, you need to be completely stock with stock recovery
2) RSD is an option
3) you can "downgrade" from 4.4 to 4.2.2 by flashing all the files except the motoboot.img and the gpt.bin. just don't downgrade to the pre-camera update (12.7.7) and then take an OTA because you will hard brick
Thanks for the info!

I also had a similar question. I unlocked the bootloader and am on 4.4 stock rom. If i want to relock the bootloader and return to stock 4.4 without root can i just rsd lite using the 4.4 fxz? Hoping that brings the recovery to stock as well, in case there are future otas
An fxz will bring you back to stock and you are ready ri take an ota but it does not relock the bootloader

Thanks for the fast response, will the fxz restore stock recovery and unroot the deivce? Can i relock my bootloader if i wanted to in future?

Yes, a full fxz will restore the stock recovery and unroot you. You can relock just not sure why you would want to plus it will always show that the device as status code 2 which means it has been unlocked at some point

Those that unlocked and rooted, could you post your steps please?

Can we run the 4.4.2 firmware (Topsnakes ported from X) on our maxx with 4.2.2 gpt and bootloader and motoboot? I know we can go backwards but not sure if you can go newer software and older boot and so forth.
Thanks

Was also wondering if we were to load the 4.4.2 ported from the Moto X if we can roll back to 4.2.2 12.15.15 if we just don't try to load the motoboot.bin and the gpt.bin.

Since I'm still on 4.2.2 should I just leave my bootloader and the bin file alone and just upgrade the rest to kit Kat? Can I do that?
