I rooted my phone. After the update I lost root, but no worries I wanted to try Isis anyway, (live in SLC). Have the secure sim but the Isis software keeps saying It wont work with rooted phones and that my phone won't work. I re-rooted and then followed the Un-root procedure but it still doesn't work. Did a full reset and still nothing.
Does anyone know how to get this phone back to the out of the box software?
Thanks
I believe u will have to use rsd lite and flash ur stock software
And with the new update.. if u have root Isis will detect it and not work

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.

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'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.

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.

Is there root for AT&T 4.4?
No there is not but in the at&t thread there is already a way so you can be rooted and have custom recovery

There is no way to root kitkat on any device without either unlocking the bootloader or reverting to a root able build of Android first.
Flashback
I've been looking into rooting the D80020 and I think you have to flash back to D80010 (for ATT) then you can root and (possibly) update to Kit Kat. I haven't done it yet but planning on it soon.
I just did that 2 days ago. Flashed back to 10d, rooted, flashed twrp with freegee and then flashed stock kk. All told, took me about half an hour. Now I'm rocking rooted kk, couldn't be happier with the phone.

I used the same thing for root. Cant use a custom recovery though, but since I just got the phone yesterday I'm cool with using stock for now.

use ioroot25 to root.
Then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free and install TWRP.
reboot into recovery and install the rom.
Before doing anything download the rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672931 and copy it to your phone.
My droid Maxx 4.4 is rooted using Jcase's instruction (FXZ, Cydia Impactor, Telnet, etc.). I don't like Kitkat because of shorter battery life and a few others issues. I would like revert back to 4.2.2. Could I downgrade back to 4.2.2 by fxz with 4.2.2 xml file? Thanks

Not unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
I have an unlocked boot loader and am wanting to downgrade for the same reasons. I'm familiar with flashing Roms but not rsd or fxz. Anyone know how I could downgrade to 4.2 and if there are any con's to doing so?
Thanks.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes going from 4.4 BACK to 4.2.2 has to be done a certain way or possible brick. Wasn't too say you can't flash the TZ Boot.IMG and maybe something else research it here before you attempt it.
Do not trust me that those are the only files you can't flash haven't done it and not searched a lot into it.
