[Q] HELP from Asia.Retail.ICS to Eu.Retail.JB

[jointino]

hi guys,

in january i bought the razr maxx in hong kong, and i updated the os to 4.0.4 and i rooted it .

now my phone is 673.94.328.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03

and it seems that motorola will not update asia retail to JB so i would to update the phone by myself.

i have read a lot about that but still i dont understand what is the best way to do that.

can i just upload the new row (RETAIL BR JB ?) with RDS lite from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289

if yes what i have to do before?
i read about of a sort of compatibility between asia and eu retail that save some steps.

or i have to upload a Retail EU ICS and than use the OTA update ?

i'm a bit confused about the best way to do.

i understood that i have to protect the root with RootKeeper.

i read the update with :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277008
but that is a leak i dont know if it's the same.

and updating the os will i loose all the data ? can i use nandroid or something else to
backup the phone ?

tnx a lot and i hope that your answers will be helpful for other razr newbies like me

Look out into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289 and download last fastboot names retail British and flash it via rsd lite
Now ya do not have to protect ya root because root method is available to root ya phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257137

Edit : flashing fastboot only enough and do not flash any updates or else
I know what is going on in ya mind so before asking i wanna say yeah ya can flash British retail firmware on Asian xt910 without any problem

Thanks!!

tnx for the answer ... very clear ...

can i ask just about the backup ? will i loose the data ? titanium or nandroid ?

and what about the staff in the bottom of the page, what do i have to do with this stuff:

How to request for a firmware:
Submit the following files (using adb pull):
/system/default.prop
/system/build.prop
MSU.txt of Motorola Software Update (You only need the version of Flex)
Configuration > About phone > Screenshot
NOTE: I only MIGHT find that firmware or newer version of it.

tnx a lot
very kind

Yes ya will loose all ya data ( not ya external SD card data but it will wipe all data of ya internal storage so be careful make a back up before flashing )


That is for requesting to make fastboot if its not available .
What all ya need to do is just download British retail and flash without worry and then root if ya want .
Edit : Nandroid and titanium backup wont work once ya update to jellybean so better ya make a back up of all ya apps so ya can install it back without any issues

Thanks!!

Hi guys,
Do I need to have root before flashing this british version? Can I safely flash this without root on asia retail 4.0.4?

No it is not necessary to be rooted to update to jellybean but we recommended that if ya want root access on jellybean because root method wasn't available for jellybean .
Since it is available now ya can root ya RAZR by that method and moreover if ya not rooted and don't want root ya RAZR on jellybean , No problem ya can go ahead and flash Eu jellybean on Asian ics

Thanks!!
