I am trying this method right now, and so far so good.
Thanks for all the work you guys put into this. I was really paranoid at first about doing this, but I just followed W0017roid's video on YT, which is mostly based on this thread, and I've got ICS up and running like a champ. Got tired of being BSed around by Verizon and decided to take matters into my own hands.

Transferring File to External SD Card
RDA writes: "2. Place the file downloaded in step one into the ROOT of your EXTERNAL SD card. (DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE)"
I am currently transferring that file into what is called the 'download folder' located on the External SD card. Is that an okay place to store it? I don't understand the particulars of what it means to place the file 'into the ROOT of the external SD card. Some guidance here before I take the big leap and attempt to update to ICS. Thanks.

Basically, the "root" of your SD card is basically the core of the card. Don't put it in any folders. When you put the card into your computer, and you go into My Computer and double click your card, that's the root. Don't click into any folders, just drop it right on there, if that makes any sense.

Almost... It's 'me' not you. I just 'moved' the file out of the download folder located on the SD card. It now shows up looking like: Blur_Version....on.en.US.zip. There is a little Android icon located just before the Blur part. This file shows that it contains 362542 KB. Repeat: It is not located in any folder. What I did was transfer this file from the PC to Dropbox. Then opened up the MAXX and opened up Dropbox. I then moved the file to the SD card first placing in the 'Download Folder'. Hope I am making sense. Thanks.

Signature Error!
A few pages ago, someone posted about the same error i'm having...there were no replies so i'm posting my request for help.
I get all the way through using ICS 1.7. I did a factory reset and many cache wipes. Phone has never been rooted.
I begin recovery mode then choose the zip file which is in my root directory of SD card.
It thinks a minute then hits me with errors saying cannot access e:\cache\caller and then two errors saying cannot verify "whole-signature."
I am stuck...back on GB with a nicely wiped phone.

you need to revise this to explain the different errors. also, coming from stock .181, you are going to need to install the update .zip file twice and install the .211 kernel. there is many other ways to install .211 leak and this is not complete. also, flashing errors could lead to the user not being able to go back to .181.

Okay. I have a follow up question. I downloaded to the PC. Move the unzipped file to Dropbox. Opened Dropbox on the MAXX. Moved the file to the External SD card. Will that work?
OK so I have read every single post here, however I am still stuck at error 0, and error 7. Every time I plug my device into my computer Im using usb 2.0's in the back. I have the Moto drivers installed, but for whatever reason ICS 1.7 using option 1 I keep getting an system cannot find path specified. I have done every step possible and can not get maxx back to GB or update to ICS. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP OUT TO GET OUT OF SOFT BRICK
