THIS GUIDE IS FOR XT910/GSM USERS

So guys in this thread There is nothing new that I am posting, But it is necessary to have all the official ICSs all together at one place so that other users can flash it from one place.
I am not taking any credits for this work neither I am saying that I have created any tool to help you guys, I am making a guide of how to unbrick and update to ICS so that some people who are bricked and want to reflash the ics in their devices, they can do it. Also This Thread Can be used to update from any other European Leak To Official ICS (of Europe).

So in this guide we are gonna learn how to flash the official ics of the different regions. Depending upon your region and system version flash the suitable ics.

Before we begin I would like to tell you that thanks to HSD, We now have two different methods of unbricking:-
1. Using the Official OTAs
2. Using the fastboot files

How to unbrick and flash ics using the official OTAs
Currently I have only three Official OTAs you are welcome to link to me other Other Official OTAs.
So before you begin I would like to tell you the pre requirements that you need.
1. Good Battery Life (atleast 80%)
2. Official OTA of your region

For European And british region Download This OTA.
For Serbain Region Download This OTA.
For Asian Regions Download This OTA
For Canadian Regions Download This OTA

3. Download EternityProjectFastboot
4. Boot.img file for you OTA

Download This boot.img for European/British OTA
Download This boot.img for Serbian region
Download This boot.img For Asain regions
Download This boot.img For Canadian Region

5. Gingerbread Fastboot files
Download These files For European OTA
Download These files For Serbian OTA
Download These files for Asian OTA
Download These Files for Canadian Region

Remember you will lose root after you update

The Procedure

1.Copy The OTA to your external sd card.
2.Extract the Eternity Project Fastboot. You will get three files. Copy them to your desktop.
3.Put the boot.img file on your desktop.
4.You need the system_signed file, to get that:
4.a. Create A folder on your desktop saying rom-1
4.b. Extract the gingerbread fastboot files which you downloaded (extract those files which are of your own region your region).
4.c. After Extraction, there will be a file called system_signed file in it copy that out and put it on your desktop.

5. After you put the system_signed file on your desktop, make sure you have 5 files [system_signed,boot.img,eternity project fastboot(Has three files)] on your desktop.
6.Now boot your device into AP Fastboot Mode.First switch of your device, then hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds.
Then you will enter in a screen,i.e, Boot mode selection menu where the third option would be AP Fastboot.Scroll down using vol- and then select using vol+.
After you enter in AP Fastboot mode connect your device to the PC.
7. Hit the Start-Button in Windows and search for 'cmd', command prompt window will open.
8. Now copy and paste the following codes one by one in the cmd of your windows
cd desktop
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new.img (For European and Asian regions)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new_41.img (For Serbian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot bootics.img (For Canadian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash system system_signed (For All the Regions)

9. After All the files are flashed correctly, disconnect your device from the PC, then hit power button to switch it off.
Then again hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds and then enter into second option,i.e, recovery or stock recovery.
10. When you enter into recovery you will an android lying on his back, just hit Vol+ & Vol- together to see the options.
11. Scroll up and down using the vol- and vol+ buttons and select using the power button. Wipe your cache first (I recommend wiping data too).
12. When done, go to apply update from external storage and choose the ota (of your region). It will take some time to install.
13. When installed just simply reboot your device and you are all set and good to go. :cowboy:
For Any Assistance I have made a video for you guys :cyclops:

How to unbrick using fastboot files
Well many of us are already familiar with how to use the fastboot files, but there are some who dont know how to flash them.
For such users I would like to tell you that we have two tools which can flash the fastboot files in our device,
1. RSD Lite (Official Motorola Tool)
2.Flash it (Created By KHOLK) (Thanks Mate)

It entirely is up to you to decide which tool you want to use. I myself use flahsit.
If you want to use flash it You can see this video to learn to use it.
If you want to use RSD Lite see this guide By zeidof. Thanks buddy.

Fastboot files Of Official ICSs
1. Retail Brasil ICS 4.0.4
2. Claro Brasil ICS 4.0.4
3. Tim Brasil ICS 4.0.4
4.Oi Brasil ICS 4.0.4
5. Personal Argentina ICS 4.0.4
6.a. 672.180.41
6.b. 672.180.33
Both Are European
7. 672.180.291.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01
8.Chinese ICS

Remember Asian and European users can flash each others roms, rest cant, kindly flash the rom of your own region, Then I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone. Also remember after updating to ICS you cant go back to gb.

If you have any other Official OTA OR Fastboot files You are Happy to Link Me to that :laugh:

Hey therazrguy, first of all thanks for the guide. I watched your youtube video in which you mentioned reflashing to gb. when i google reflashing razr from ics to gb, i only get threads which say that reflash to gb is not possible. do you have a guide how to reflash gb?

cheers

EDIT:

Sorry, my fault i found everything in your video.

EDIT:

when i apply update from external storage i get an assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:8388608:0b5cad37e4eb892a6aa7d2a699c7c862a7fa9c47:8388608:5fe83ba87131db097e15663e44540e2921bc0ba5")

First, your RazR is recognized by RSD, right?

You get the preflash... error, which is happen when you try to downgrade to GB or using the wrong fastboot for your region.

So where's your RazR from?
