According to droid-life.com:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/1...te-for-razr-hd-and-maxx-hd-likely-jelly-bean/
I can neither confirm nor deny if such a program exists due to agreements I may or may not have made while filling out a form that may or may not exist.
I know that the rumor is Dec 17th but I wonder if a soak test means that time frame will be moved up or not.
I may have received an email this day that may have been similar. Was kind of surprised that they asked if you're rooted and sounded pretty cool with it simply requesting that you unroot before they pick your brain. Never ran a presoak before unless you count washing my car. Usually just grab leaks once they're available but didn't want to grab the recent leak knowing official JB was right around the corner.
Here's to a great phone getting a great OS update!
Hope I'm included in this!....

Root. Uninstall with TiBu. Re-download chrome from play store.

Any idea as to how long it will be before the soak comes out? I tested ICS on my Bionic, and can't remember how long it was between the time I received the email and the update came to my phone.
They will send out another email when they start releasing the OTA update for the soak test.
Got my phone too late and doubt I will be added

When I did the soak for the OG MAXX, they sent a second email saying it was being sent out for the testing phase.
It was only a few days after the invite email was sent that the 2nd one was sent out and, that Saturday morning it was available to install.
I just picked up one of these and been reading up on it all... I checked I am on a new update so it looks like there's no root for me correct? Do you think a way may turn up? Is anyone working on it?...is there anything I can do like maybe call Verizon and hope a CLND will not have the update. .. thank you for any input

I did... I was really thinking I wouldn't get the update... I ordered it the day of the update push... but then again I am very unlucky with phones...
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
So wait, even if we have the update, it's okay, we can just downgrade?
Also, OP, I'm sure you got your RAZR for free on contract, but I bought mine new on eBay to keep my unlimited data. I dunno if $280 was too much for you, I usually wait until a phone has been out for a year or so and then I can snag it for $250-350 off contract, new.
On the bright side, now you can get the latest device when it comes out for a reasonable price.
If I were you, I'd take advantage of the return policy ($35 restocking fee) and get like the nicest phone possible- maybe hit up a Verizon store and try them all out. I know the Dinc 4G LTE and Droid DNA had 2-3 more bars than the Motorola and Samsung (and Apple) phones, but they all may use different "bar calibrations".
The only reason I got the RAZR M was because a good deal came up on eBay and the seller took a pic of the barcode/info, so I saw the firmware version before buying.
Best of luck!

Yeah, that sucks. Gotta love the timing.
I found the 98.16.1 update file tried to apply it via recovery no go...I'm not going to risk trying to RSD the whole XML.. so I just called Verizon... asked if I could request a replacement without the update... he said... we can make a note to the warehouse but I cannot promise you one without the update as all CLND will be updated within two weeks of the push... so one can only hope...
Even if I can't get a an older version I'm probably gonna keep the M kinda a Motorola fanboy... I mean it was the first hand held cell phone I believe...

Mine updated itself last night. Okay, fine, I probably accidentally hit the update button. Anyway, now I have a locked, unrooted M. Good thing that X is coming soon.
I got my M for $50, but was able to keep my unlimited data. It helps to know people in the business.

Just to detail here a little. The root method is still Motochopper. With the help of realbbb on the HD, SamuriHL was able to produce a script to perform the function. I merely adapted it for the M.
This method essentially rolls back the device thru a modified fxz without flashing the tz partition, roots with Motochopper, protects root, updates then restore root.

I updated my RAZR m to the latest release from Verizon, and since I had not unlocked my bootloader yet, I know I cannot unlock it at the moment. Even if I rsd to the original 4.1.2 I still will be unable to unlock, correct?
Is there any work being done on a new unlock? I'm relatively happy with stock for now, but once cm10.x is more stable, and motors stops updating the RAZR m, I'd like to be able to flash something cool.
Thanks,

Yeah, here's your news; the new update blocked the ability to unlock. You can't unlock, even if you downgrade, but you can still root. The unlock exploit came out in April and people were told to do it, before it was locked up. Dan also said he probably won't ever run another exploit. You can root and use SafeStrap to run older SS compatible ROMs. You're SOL for the AOSP stuff, though. Don't say you weren't warned.

If your on Verizon and got the phone through Verizon do what I did before the time runs out... call them request a replacement device go through all the trouble shooting for your "issue"( I said the ear piece speaker intermittently goes out, yet works on speakerphone thus indicating its hardware related) after trouble shooting and problems still occur you get the green light for a replacement. request that they make a note to the warehouse to send you one without the update (I said because the new update caused data drops that didn't happen prior to update)... I hated having to give up my brand new device for a "like new" one but its better then having a locked device... the CSR in the chat said all devices in the warehouse will be updated 2-3 weeks after the update push so... act fast you may still have time left... if you get one with the update call them tell them your phone is working fine now and send the replacement back... or say something like the replacement is defective and again request a note to the warehouse... where there's a will there's a way....good luck

Not feeling like doing that. And i am not a Verizon user, I am with T-Mobile on the RDS/RadioComm Mod.
So I am just gonna suck it up and use it on stock, nothing wrong with it it works i like it. (Bugs me a little bit that i f up =( )
Next phone will be a stock Unlocked Phone so i don't have to worry about this, Been eyeing the HTC one Mini.
Or the Razr I. We will see... too many projects at the moment not enough money to buy a new phone.

Don't beat yourself up over it or anything lol
In case anyone else is wondering, there's an empty space between the WiFi indicator and Reception Indicator. Your eyes aren't playing tricks.
if I had to guess, it's the space to indicate LTE/H+/other icons related to the cell. It's an odd design.
This has been on moto devices since at least the RAZR m. Personally I hate it. Never seen that gap on any other phone except a Motorola.

Yeah I know. He's even on reddit throwing his "expert" opinion out there and concludes the HTC One is still better, so this doesn't really come at a surprise that he returned it. Just stop posting here if you have nothing good to say. I know Att sucks, but the phone itself is great.
I honestly can't remember the last phone I had that didn't have the carrier at the top....is this a common thing? I thought all phones had carrier names at the top by the signal bars to let you know whose towers you're on?
The space is there to show emergency call only if you don't have sim in.

I hate the gap. That's a Moto thing tho. On the One, both the ATT logo fade away when you have notifications (which is a nice medium) and the LTE icon remains present even when on WiFi.

We'll I was hoping to get a dev to look at the system dump and see what they find.
It's probably some app you have installed. Don't panic. Restart the phone 5 or 6 times and see if it still appears..if it does it may just be an app messing with it. Definitely nothing to worry about unless it just annoys you.
