So does anyone know when .215 will be coming out as a OTA update?

I believe an ota is expected this month. But i don't know if there has been an official date, or if it's even .215 for sure.

if i were to do this would i have to downgrade or do something crazy for jellybean or some other update?

If you are not rooted, speculation is that you will just be able to get the next OTA. But that in not certain yet. If not, then there already is a way to get back to stock .211. If you are rooted, then the process to get an OTA is just as easy by using Voodoo rootkeeper and temporarily unrooting. And I would bet that mattlgroff will develop a one step utility to do the same thing.

Thanks. Cant wait to see if it does really improve battery life.

During my upgrade, the yellow text that was rolling to show the status of the upgrade it stopped and stated:
"Upgrade from SD card complete" but it did not reboot on its own.... the blue choices showed up with "Reboot Now" highlighted.
So I pressed the power button and it rebooted but stopped half way through briefly showing an "Updating Android" box.
Then went on to finish booting.
Checking "About Phone" showed I now have .215.

This is not quite as per your instructions....anybody see this?

I think you will be fine netnathan. For some reason some people have to give it a little nudge when it gets to the reboot now screen. The updating Android box is normal. Congratulations on 215!

Thanks...
Everything appears normal....now for the root.
Is the Droid RAZR Utility 1.8 the best path......or the only path?

Utility 1.8 or 1.81. I used 1.81... they are almost the same. These are the steps I followed when I rooted, post #89

Does anyone know if I root, will I lose the capabilty of using my lapdock?

 

[TisMyDroid]

My guess is it shouldn't be a problem but I have no idea for sure .

The reason why I ask Tis is cuz there is a note in the Utility that says RSD Lte can not flash webtop in the partition or something like that..

[TisMyDroid]

The download does say .211 but it does install .215.

Yes, that is interesting and possible it does not work. So glad you noticed that before proceeding. I haven't seen anyone mention that they were not able to use the lapdock but probably because those that have one have not rooted. Maybe someone who knows for certain can chime in.

There is a way once rooted on 215 to go back to stock (follow FoxKat's steps starting at post #48, here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-razr-maxx-ics-discussion/216737-ics-leak-215-a-5.html). With no guarantees, you could try rooting, if it didn't work on your lapdock, go back to stock BUT I can not give any guarantees that it would work.

Yes it does ... that is the numbering system, when "upgrading" the number of the file will always be the version you are coming FROM, not going to. For example, when the next upgrade comes out after .215, let's say if it's .216, the file number will actually be .215.

Confusing, I know, but that's just the way they do it LOL
