Rooted at 4.1.1 - Should I take the 4.1.2 update?

I just got this device as a new phone. it came with 4.1.1.
I followed the procedure to downgrade, root, and upgrad.
I am now at 4.1.1, rooted.
The 4.1.2 update has downloaded on my phone, and it is asking me if i want to install. Will i loose root? is Voodoo broken for this update? or will i be ok if i temp un-root, and then take the update?
I don't want to take the update if it will kill my hard-earned root. I know it is sometimes lost when taking this update. Should i do it or not? and what is the "right" way to do it to protect root?

be helpful to know your device, if u on xt 925 you can, if on xt 926 then chill

Not dev edition. Will stay put. Thanks for the input
What do we miss by not taking the update? anything of value?

Just unroot, install update and restore root. That's what I did and it was fine, until someone told me SBF'ing would give me better battery life, now I lost root. Wish I had just left it. I have XT926 non-dev edition. Use voodoo rootkeeper.

We got root now!

No worries, we now have root ability for the HD on 4.1.2 thanks to Dan R! Check for it as I am unable to post links at the moment.
I didn't see a link here on XDA yet so forgive the external link.
I had tried SBF back to 4.1.1 and 4.0.4 after a buggy 4.1.2 update, only to soft brick my phone. SBF of 4.1.2 got me functional again thank goodness. so I waited for a root app, got one yesterday.

even with root out for 4.1.2, it was safe to take the OTA on 926 consumer.
I took a chance and upgraded my maxx hd using the OTA (i used rootkeeper)... but it stayed rooted no problem after the update and didn't run into any issues or bugs that i could tell... Was also able to boot up another slot on still on 4.1.1... Nothing too significant in 4.1.2 over 4.1.1 though... but it's moot now since the root's been released

[Q] Atrix 2 Firmware downgrade from 4.0.4 to 2.3.5

Hello,
I wish to ask whether it is possible to downgrade android 4.0.4 on my Atrix 2 back to its original firmware: android 2.3.5 which has flash support.
Is there a way?
Respectfully,
Hater3

For some regions/firmwares, I think you can (like MEARET and/or SEARET).
For AT&T and some others, the ONLY WAY that is possible is if you never installed the official ICS OTA that was pushed to your phone, and are on the first leak (which you would have had to install manually yourself).
Plus, flash support? That's your major reason for wanting to go back? Just search xda for flash on ics.. like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=flash for ics

Thank you

Thank you for that...I used the forum and found the flash for ICS...I don't need to downgrade.
Thank you much.

I have XT925 International Version of Razr HD and I rooted using motochopper. It worked. You can find info here in XDA.

Are you planning on running stock recovery? OUDHS rooted for me after I flashed it... wasn't going to bother with stock at all but when I went in to make a nandroid it detected no root & prompted to see if I'd like to root, after which I made a titanium backup as well before cracking into some ROM's - worked like a charm. I assume CWM/TWRP does something similar. Rogers/Fido XT925.

Hello! I bought XT925 just a few days ago. It had JB 4.1.2 out of the box. I tried to root it for a few times without a sucess using several different methods found on the internet. Then I was sucessful with ˝motochopper¨ ! This is, as far as I know, only method to root XT925 with JB 4.1.2. On other android versions everything will work but on JB 4.1.2 XT925 only motochopper works. Phone works great after the root. Don't worry about using this on your device... Google out ˝motochopper.zip¨ Good luck

[Q] Stuck on 4.1.1 (9.1.39.XT926)

[SOLVED]
I have tried looking for Matts RazrHD Utility to flash back to stock, but I can't seem to find version 1.10 in order to flash to ICS 4.0.4. I have no idea what I'm doing with a Moto Device. Can anyone lend me a hand? I just want to flash back so I can get this thing rooted again and up to the latest version. I shoulda never snagged that 4.1.1 update manually. xD
---EDIT
Does anyone just have 4.0.4 Stock I could grab? I can't find one of those either.
---EDIT v2
To answer my own question, just use RAZR HD UTILITY 1.21.

Restore the backup that you should have made, prior to modifying?
