Manually flashing latest verizon 2.3.3?

Hi all
Just unlocked my bl and rooted this awesome phone. I notice I am on 2.3.2 right now but would like to update to 2.3.3.
I have heard there is a method to manually flash this update without losing my unlock/root.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

I've heard of people flashing it OTA and then doing Flashtool to recover it, because your Play will be bricked afterwards... I still don't know if you would still have unlock and root after that though... I'm thinking of jumping ship to CM7.

Would someone mind referring me to the steps of ota and then unbricking with flashtool please?

Need help!

I have a droid 2 non global. I had all ota updates and now i cant root my phone. I have tried everything, even the droid 3 root and nothing. Anyone else having this issue since the latest update? I am stuck and need this bloatware gone. And i want a good ROM. Please help..

If you installed the most recent update without using Voodoo RootKeeper to back up your root, you're up the creek without a paddle because the newest update breaks root and changes the bootloader so you can't SBF.

OTA JB Update

Hi just wondering if doing the ota jb update for the verizon droid razr m non developer edition will break anything such as not allowing you to use safestrap or blocking rooting? Thanks

You will lose root from the update but you can just re root or you can use an app called ota root keeper

At the moment there is no confirmed exploit for 4.4.2 unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Still holding out hope that someone can figure it out. If not, I'm still perfectly happy with the update. My phone is substantially snappier.

How do you root if you have an unlocked bootloader?

Most recent update

Ok so I have all but the most recent update on my phone and its rooted and I have twrp installed as a custom recovery. From what I understand I can not flash the most recent update because its not a full update it just tweeks some things. So to my question is there anyway to flash the stock recovery so I can get the update.

I just updated but didn't lose root. :good:

A coworker with a RAZR HD said he updated I checked his root and it remained as well. Apparently update does not break existing root.
