Hello,
Does anyone know if the prior builds of CWM (Recovery) for the RAZR are compatible with the RAZR HD?
More specifically, is there one version anyone has tried and found success?
Thank you kindly.
Do not use prior versions! They will brick you. One will come.

Yea highly recommend waiting for a recovery specifically for this phone. It will come in due time.
I am trying to root a droid razr maxx hd and have downgraded to ICS 4.0.4. can anyone please help. I Cannot download the OTA update O.7.2.en.US (6mb) after using droid utility to downgrade to 4.0.4. I need this update before i can run the root utility and it just stalls. will not download via 4g or internet with a full battery.

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.

Haven't done that yet...figured I would wait a day or two and see if it was resolved.

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.

How do you flash the two zips? Do you create a new rom slot in safestrap?

You with have to remove safe strap and flash them in stock recovery

Do I need to be plugged into the pc to use stock recovery? Every time I've tried using it when I go into stock recovery it just shows the android guy with an error

I downloaded Matt's utility and fastbooted back to ics, i rooted and installed voodoo. however when i try to protect it and go back to jellybean, the root does not stay. i still have voodoo but no root. please help.
When you use Voodoo to protect root you also need to temporarily unroot with Voodoo. Search for Voodoo in the Motorola RAZR HD Q&A forums, there have been quite a few postings about this.

I was wondering if I can install the Patched Google Wallet APK modaco (1.6-R96-v13). I did try downloading and putting the apk in system/app and data/app but after I reboot the app doesn't appear in the apex launcher. Running stock rooted JB 4.1.1 Droid Razr HD Maxx

hopefully!
I'm looking to try a RAZR HD. I def want to root but this phone had been updated to the latest software. I wanted to make sure I can root it before I buy.
I currently have an s3 so I know the process is different so I wanted to ask to be sure.
THX.

If its a consumer xt926 like mine running 4.1.2 you have to already have root before update because you can't flash back to older firmware ATM. Other variants I am unsure of.
