well I did the OTA.... and ive rooted it following toasts tut... i got it to boot in recover mode... and im doing a NAND backup... oh just finished actually... i swear im not lying lol..
i finished the NAND backup and did a system reebot within the recovery... now let me get this straight tho... within the recovery is where I would flash a new rom yes? if I were to power off the Evo, root is gone right, this is only like a softspl ?
crap...EDIT:
um crap... nvm apparently i didnt update...
i swear I downloaded, installed, restarted the phone to allow install... but it shows software number 1.32.651.1.
maybe because I did a factory reset? then that would mean that this update is rather a patch (ie like a cab fix)??
or did the update not apply?
Ya, I had to download and install the update twice. There is no way root is worth the SD card bug, so until there is root for the patched ROM, no root for me.
The thing is right now we have ghetto root. The other devs have specifically said the update conflicted with root. Best not to install it if you care about it.

I don't. Not gonna bother rooting until after the official 2.2 ROM releases in August or so.
I rejected the OTA update for my Hero and I needed to use the phone there and then... how do I get it to come through again??
Firstly, make sure you really want it back.
If you flash it you will potentially lose the ability to root (and have custom roms). This means you will never have features like livewallpapers etc etc or be able to try android 2.2
So after my warning if you really do want to use the ota again then just go to menu > settings > about > and there should be an option for ota or something like that.
Its been confirmed that you can downgrade from the 2.1 ota so don't worry about that.
BUT why not just spend 20 extra minutes and root? you'll still get the same official rom but with wifi tether + more

Confirmed. OTA YES, downgrade available.
RRU no... you can't root, downgrade or nothing (YET).
Assuming you have 1.5 now I could not find away to force the update other than setting the clock forward a week or a month. That worked fine. Just remember to set the clock after the upgrade otherwise it will say 1980 and the Market wont work
just do a factory reset. u'll get the OTA msg. but make a backup first because u'll lose ur things on ur phone, e.g apps,sms,call logs
hey, right im on 2.3.2
build number 3.0.A.2.184
and rooted
it keeps telling me theres an update avail for 2.3.3
but when i download and try install it always fails
and i dont know why? lol
any help?
have you removed some bloat ware?
If you have rooted with gingerbreak and removed any bloatware or other stock apps it won't update. Then you have to flash the UK generic 1.84 (2.3.2) and without removing any bloatware/apps root with gingerbreak and then update OTA.
If you rooted with a modded system.img flashed after you unlocked your bl, then stop and don't try again it will brick your phone for sure if it installs corectly. You will be able to recover from that, but with a broken radio.
I take it's the first
Regards Dousan...
See here for all the apks that came with the phone. Try reinstalling the missing ones otherwise you will have to reflash 2.3.2 to get back what you are missing. Reflashing will wipe your phone so backup anything you dont want to loose before doing it Then just do as Dousan says, root then nothing else then use the ota update to keep root on 2.3.3.
i thought that might be it
yeah i have removed bloatware so thatll be it
my bootloader is still locked aswell
Here is the Droid Razr HD software update. I have not tested it as I use CM 10.1 and have no interest in going back to stock. I found it on www.droidrzr.com in a forum post then shared it on my dropbox account.
I posted it on my Dropbox account so not sure how long it will last until the link is gone:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2x9vutel4vnqmm/Blur_Version.9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip
It does "fix" the bootloader unlock exploit though

So, stock recovery to install this?
I would assume you would need to be 100% stock, including the recovery, to install this.

hmm put it on my internal storage and its not found, I think stock recovery wants to see it on a sdcard.
If your boot loader is unlocked before the update, it should stay unlocked. You just will not be able to unlock with methods out there now.

A few questions I haven't been able to find answers to (many threads have been started on this new update topic and I haven't found the answers I'm looking for yet):
1) I've heard that there are two versions of this update, 9.20.xx and 9.18.xx... Anyone know the differences yet? Is one version for phones that have been unlocked and the other for phones that are still locked? Is one version for XT925 and the other for XT926? I received the 9.18 version, I am rooted, unlocked, and have a XT926 phone.
2) Anyone with an already unlocked bootloader try and take the update? Do you remember which version of the update you took? Did it install correctly? Are you still unlocked?
3) Anyone that is rooted and unlocked try to take the update? Did it install correctly? Are you still rooted and unlocked after the update? Did you have to protect the root with either SuperSU or Voodoo OTA Root Keeper? If so, do you mind posting step-by-step instructions for protecting the root so the phone is still rooted after the update?
Thanks to all who can shed light on these questions!

There are 2 different versions, depends on what System version you have of 4.1.2 on the XT926 only. The 9.18.79 version would indicate that your Systems version is 9.16.6 if this is not correct DO NOT FLASH. I am Rooted/Unlocked, if you take the plunge you must OTA Rootkeeper/SuperSU backup SU, as the update breaks Root> IF there is no backup of SU with the latest binaries. If you lose Root, there are a couple of ways to Downgrade. A common problem for those of us Root/Unlocked the Update FAILs at the end. Most of the Update goes through, however the new Radio does not go through, as of right now if you Update and your Baseband is VANQUISH_BP_100730.081.64.09P then you have the OLD radio, the new Radio is VANQUISH_BP_100730.160.64.15P.
Between the 2 OTA's these should match-up as either 9.16.6 = 9.18.79 or 9.16.9 = 9.20.1
Thanks for the reply! A few more questions if you don't mind (would hate to do something wrong... like I did last time... luckily I was able to revert back to an original version and fix the install... sigh...):
4) With protecting root, I need the SuperSU Pro version, yes? To be able to use the survival mode, yes? Will Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper do the same thing? Is it possible to use both "to be sure"?
5) I have everything backed up with Titanium Backup. Should I bother getting the pro version and backing everything up using the cloud backup and hypershell? Or won't this matter since if root doesn't keep I won't be able to use Titanium Backup?
6) I also have performed the VZW Wireless Hotspot hack using SQLite. Am I going to have to undo the hack in order for the OTA update to work?
Thanks again for all your help!
Update - I decided to attempt the update and hope for the best. System update 9.18.79.xx updating from 9.16.6.xx.
I purchased the SuperSU Pro from the Play Store, and used the survival mode in SuperSU. I also used the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and protected root. I figured if one didn't work the other might... Voodoo worked to protect and re-install root access (not sure about SuperSU as I tried Voodoo first to restore root after the install).
I am unsure if the bootloader is still unlocked, but from what people have said there doesn't seem to be a reason to believe it is re-locked. I haven't tested it out to know for sure though.
It appears that the entire update installed correctly. No errors, and the baseband version was updated to the new radio (xxx.15P).
I did not undo the VZW Wireless Hotspot hack prior to installing the update.
Hopefully this post helps others out there.
My final question... what does updating the radio/baseband do exactly?
i need help! i tried installing the update but i forgot i had TWRP.. so the update did not got installed, i rebooted the phone, but the OS tried to install the update again and inmediatly reboot the phone in recovery again .. then from recovery i flashed liquid smooth rom but i got stuck in the boot animation... my big issue is that my power button is broken! now i cant reset the phone to enter in fastboot mode.. i cant do anything... now my battery is totally drained and i cant turn on the phone (my power button does not work).. i can plug the usb cable and the led turns green. but i dont see any more options

My suggestion, let your phone charge a bit.
Once charged up, turn it on and get it into Fastboot. From there you can use the DROID RAZR HD UTILITY 1.21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307439). In that utility option 1 will bring you back to complete stock ROM, option 2 will bring you back to a stock recovery. This will completely erase your phone.
This should at least give you a fresh functioning phone. If you want to try to keep your data or personal files, I'm not sure what you could load via fastboot to get yourself a functioning phone again (maybe just a kernel?).
As a side note, I used TWRP to load the update and my phone updated except the radios it seems. It sounds like the same thing happens with the stock recovery.

I tried to take the 9.18.79 update I protected the root (I'm not unlocked) before I did so I also temporarily un-rooted (I've always been told to do this before and update) Now I an no longer rooted and it can't find any SU binary codes. Gonna have to flash back to 9.6.16 and try it again I guess or stay on 9.6.16 in order to maintain root for now. If you find a solution please share.

I agree with Lenny. This same thing happened to me when I tried to take the liquid smooth ROM. Follow his instructions above. You'll lose all your pics, vids, files, etc. But at least you'll have a working phone again.
Went smoothly here
All my devices except this one are rooted and some are rom'd. I thought long and hard about whether to void this warranty but decided one day it would be out of updates from VZW and I would want to flash something. I have been denying the OTA for the last day so I figured now or never.
Here are the simple steps:
Download and install Moto device manager (for the USB drivers) here
Enable USB debugging in developer options on the phone
run motochopper here
run motoapocolypse here
install voodooOTA root keeper from Play and backup root
apply OTA
It went error free. The phone has the 15P radio update, unlocked BL and root.

I want to confirm something, you unlocked the bootloader and then took the OTA and the bootloader remain unlocked (and stayed rooted due to root keeper)?
So the benefit to all this would be to get the new radio update?

Yes, the bootloader won't get locked again after it is unlocked. Moto would be shooting themselves having to reinstate warranties if they did that. Yes I wanted the option of flashing later becuase the ota will install sooner or later. I also want to stay on the upgrade path for now to have current radios.
I still have an Eris lying around that is long out of support but i have gb on it.

that's what i want to do, but i cant because my power button is broken! so i cant enter to fastboot mode without the power button.. i will have to open my phone and try to fix the power button myself.
Just to make a point and to clear up any confusion, this Update will not lock the Bootloader. If you have an Unlocked Bootloader then you will have an Unlocked Bootloader after the update, regardless if it fully works or not, and even if you lose Root, the Bootloader will still be Unlocked. If Root is lost with an Unlocked Bootloader, I suggest downgrading through an FXZ of either 9.16.6 or 9.16.9 and restore Root.
My phone currently shows OC4 as my current version. I've had root for as long as I can remember and the other day I accidentally hit install of the new update. The update failed, but it seems that I've lost root and no longer have my old recovery screen. Is there anything I can do to regain root? Also, my phone has been insanely laggy lately as well. Really dreading having to do a wipe and hoping someone has an easy (or semi-easy) solution. Thanks!
Had the same thing happen to me, except update downloaded and now is asking to install that!

you can only downgrade by flashing. That's why you disable the updates requests after rooting...
