OTA fail

Coming from ICS, the JB OTA failed around 25% complete and rebooted indicating as such. Can this tool be used to install JB on a 'damaged' ICS system?

Yes, that's it's primary use.

Perfect, thanks for that quick clarification! The file sizes seem to be getting smaller, which is misleading.

It installed just fine.

was able to root successfully. tested.. all is good

however... does anyone notice lagging now that this is installed? perhaps the workaround way that this process obtains root does something?
i went from a very fluid movement between app and home screens to laggy and there is some hanging. i rebooted the phone a couple times and have nothing else running, even disabled smartactions.

anyone have this issue?

This works wonders with Linux!!

This was not working for me in Windows 7, nor was RSDLite 6.x, and installing the zip file in recovery was not working either. I put in my Ubuntu live CD and got this to work instantly! Thanks for everything you have done! Linux is the way to go with this, forget Windows, I'm starting to dislike Windows more every day and be pulled to Linux! Thanks again!!

Yes it can fix damaged ICS builds, it fixed mine using Linux. Screw Windows OS. I'm using Linux for now on to do programming and things on my phone. I am now running JB instead of ICS and loving it!!

I'm was able to get it to work with Win 7 64 bit. The crack didn't take the first time, and it didn't install the Super User. I installed the Super User manually, then tried the crack again and it worked. Great job on this Utility!

Thanks mattlgroff for this great utility and the great instructions. I just upgraded my ICS D4 with eclipse up to the stock JB, rooted, and then installed SS. All without a single problem. THANKS!

Khiraji · May 21, 2013

Here's a weird one: I used this utility to upgrade my phone to JB from ICS. Followed all the instructions and the process completed perfectly, except that now my phone will not acknowledge that it's in a dock. I used the utility several times to re-SBF my phone, and for some inexplicable reason now dock mode is broken. Upon inserting it into the dock, nothing happens - it charges just fine, but will not launch car/bedside dock mode. HDMI out is also broken. This problem is present in stock JB and every JB ROM I've tried (damn near all of them). Both my Droid3 dock and a brand-new Motorola HD Dock (opened at the VZW store in front of a tech) show the same results.

Any ideas? The next step is SBFing yet again, but I'm thinking the odds of that fixing the problem are low. I'm almost convinced now that my HDMI port died at the exact moment I upgraded to JB... which seems an astronomically unlikely coincidence, but I'm out of ideas at this point.

Woot: D4 JB Root!!

Thanks OP! Was looking for a new route to root after receiving a replacement device, preloaded with an uber fenced in JB 4.1 [f*** that]. I actually used this dude's down here [thanks for you broh], but without your alluring title I may never have found this fine little script. Anyways, thanks to both of ya.

FYI : If you need root for JB D4, look no further than this delightful 1.7 meg package.

i noticed the root method used with this utility uses a different superuser
when i used this and tried to use either the verizon tether or wifi tether for root users it wouldn't work because of the su used. But when i downloaded and used a different razor root script that installed supersu everything works great
just a fyi

i used this for rooting
http://vulnfactory.org/public/razr_blade.zip

also using this there is no need to put your device in mtp mode

Running Option 1 will unroot and give you a clean start.

Yeah, us owners of the D4 have it pretty easy. My bf has an HTC which lets you unlock the bootloader but he deals with all these kernals, MD5 sum stuff and the ADB shell. It gets confusing after a min. Im try to read up on root for the Galexy S4 now but im apprehensive cause it deals with the ADB shell.

eigerzoom · Jun 5, 2013

adb isn't so bad...once you do it once...its fairly painless
just open cmd prompt in windows and cd (change directory) to c:\android\platform-tools\ or wherever you have adb.exe stored on the pc.
then type adb.exe and it should fire up.
type adb devices after that and it should see your phone connected via usb.
then type adb shell
then type su
bam you are in like flynn
then you can type whatever commands are needed to accomplish your mission on the phone
there is also extensive command set available typing 'adb help'

thanks to op for this tool...glad to have finally picked up a droid4...now just need to find an elusive grandfathered LTE data plan at a decent price...

Thanks. Im sure once i start working on it ill get the hang of quickly. Rooting came pretty natural but Ive definatly learned the hard way. Poor Droid X.....Lmao

Been a D4 owner since the beginning basically....pick it up a couple weeks after it came out last year. I love it but the only thing that sucks is not really having roms. The last 6 or so months is when a lot of the roms for the D4 has been developed

eigerzoom · Jun 5, 2013

yes, i've been lurking in this forum for a year...just never pulled the trigger until this week.
actually i dont think droid4 had its own forum for a while if i remember correctly, it was lumped inside another or something?
anyway...ever onward

Now I'm not sure about the D4 not having its own forum though. Cause I've owned mine since about 2 weeks after it dropped on the scene and there was one then.
