New Sandwich download

[ltcalex]

I have copied the medthod of downloading the new sandwich for RAZR "at your own risk". Please note saving your contacts to your external drive (SD). Everyone's thoughts.

1. • Backup all your applications using ASTRO File Manager. Rooted users can use Titanium Backup for the same.
   • Back up all contacts to SD Card.
   • Disable Anti virus and other security apps
   Download the ICS zip file.
2. Copy the zip file to the root of your SD Card. The reason you should copy it to the root of your SD Card is that you will not need to search for it when you are in the recovery mode. Also, do not extract the contents of the zip file, copy it as downloaded to your SD Card.
3. Boot your phone into recovery, you can do that using the RazrBootstrap application.
4. Select “Install .zip from SD Card” and select the zip file you had downloaded in Step 1.
5. The zip file will be flashed.
6. Select “Reboot system now”.

In this way you can install ICS on Motorola RAZR. If you face any issues, feel free to comment below

just FYI, from
EternityProject Development Forums • [GSM] EternityProject's OTAs -- Android Ice Cream Sandwich : EternityProject Releases - Page 4
this doesn't work on Brazil ROM (like mine). so Kholk said.....

I'm about to release the EternityProject's ICS Stock ROM: you won't need to install multiple OTAs and it will be available for BRAZIL devices too.

Releasing it in a few minutes.​

Releasing it in 44 minutes.​

It is like the official Motorola one. Well we can say it actually is.

It's only a package that will make you to be PREROOTED and a little tweaked for performance, it also should allow BR devices (unsure) to run ICS without any problem and with it you won't need to go through multiple OTA and Fastboot flashes to get on ICS.​

i'm refreshing it every 10 minutes

UPDATE: he posted that "44 min" on Feb 1st! LOL <i got trolled>

so i'll stay and wait until that one's out and ready.​

I am not an engineer or develper, so I don't know. I do know that sometimes whenm you preload an application that has been "leaked" and tweaks or total delelopment not applied to a new application, it can play havoc with your computer or smartphone. Speaking as a certified educator.

More particulars on this update

"Looking at the details Verizon provided for the software, 6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US., it looks like the promised changes (PDF) are meant to address minor bugs. Still, I'm sure Maxx and Razr lovers will take it and run. Most importantly, the update fixes hot-spot Web connectivity issues and shores up security. Verizon also says swapping to and from airplane mode is smoother plus battery life will be longer when using Phone Book Access Profile (BPAP) Bluetooth headsets. Thankfully our test Droid Razr Maxx test unit already had the new software installed. Perhaps that's why the device managed to squeeze jaw-dropping longevity out of its ultrapowerful 3,300mAh battery. Verizon also provides instructions on how to perform the update yourself in case it isn't pushed out to your device over the air."
