FoxKat's Razr/Maxx Jelly Bean Leak Classroom W/MattyP & Friends
- Thread starter FoxKat
- Start date
An FDR is up to you. I do them after every update and a every couple months. But its personal preference. If you feel things are not working properly then an FDR can fix it. But there isn't anything that says you have to do it.
Just make sure you have voodoo installed and you protect root a couple times. Titanium Backup is handy also. I didn't protect properly after the JB update and I lost superuser and had to re-root. Which isn't a big deal it just took longer then I was hopping for.
I'm in the process of training my battery at the moment but I have noticed a drop in battery life after the JB update. Hopping its just a battery training issue and it will be fixed once i get it done but I'm only getting about 8-9 hours or so on lite use. That or something is running I haven't noticed yet.
This has been the way my computer has reacted to the Droid RAZR Utilities since the first. I've always had to extract to C:\ and then it works fine. I didn't even have to open the Command window separately once it's installed on C:\, just open the folder, double-click on the bat file and it works fine.
Extracted on the desktop has the same results as aarong03 does...the window just closes on its own.
Foxkat,
When doing an FDR should I keep the box checked for automatic restore for my apps? Also how do I use rootkeeper to keep my root if I do the factory reset? I'm going to do an FDR after getting JB last night. Going to do it tonight. Thanks for your help sir!
:
I would not keep the box checked for auto restore because Play Store will restore/install all your apps which can bog down your phone and will restore apps that you may no longer want. I always restore my apps one at a time. If you use titanium backup or My Backup, backup all your apps (gives you a helpful list of all the apps you had installed and a backup of apps that may no longer be available... such as flash player). Even though I have my apps backed up, I install my apps via Play Store rather than use my backup (except for things like flash or apps that I don't want the updated version of). See this post as a guide for ideas when backing up and restoring before doing an fdr : http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-help/219101-getting-most-success-upgrading-ics-gb.html
To save root, in VooDoo Rootkeeper select protect root although just doing an fdr will not cause you to lose root but great idea to protect it anyway.
Hopefully this helps. FoxKat may have a different answer or some other ideas but this should get you started!

If I knew what system you were on when you started, I might know what went wrong, however I do have a solution...thanks to CamoMike, we have a way to recover from a bricked RAZR, and it seems it works no matter what system was flashed on it before.

I thought this also Tis but I did lose root after an FDR just after the OTA JB update. I kept root from ICS using voodoo to temp unroot to get the OTA. Once the update was finished I still had root but forgot to protect again in voodoo so once I did an FDR I lost the root. Not a big deal since the new JB root works but still annoying.
I did what Tis suggested and worked good. Still had root after FDR.
Thanks sakana, that is good to know! Happy to hear it worked good for you aarong. Don't forget to protect root once on JB.

I followed the link below as suggested by so,many GURUs on this board, and achieved JB root with ease! I was so fearful of rooting,yet had to try, because of poor battery issues since JB OTA.
Had to FDR anyway, so why not root! THANKS TO ALL who helped, and responded to my questions. Now, I need to gain a better understanding of SuperUser and Titanium Back up
Thanks a million! You all ROCK!

BTW! I used Options 1 and 3 for FDR, full data wipe, install JB and root.
