Looking for an Orange branded RAZR i to get the firmware off of. Will require root and having some time to team viewer session.

How to tell if you are Orange branded:

In Settings > About Phone the System Version will look something like this, but the numbers may be off.

81.4.38001.XT890.Orange.en.GB

The important part is the XT890.Orange.en.GB.

Give me a ring at my gtalk ([email protected]) or PM me if you got one and willing to help get the firmware off of it.

Cheers

Dear sir,
Thk for your great work & ask ;
1) After unlock bootloader & flash root kernel & flash back official kernel,will it still root ? The root tool I does flashes the insecure, which allows remounting /system/. When this is done the root files are pushed to the phone and set for permissions. Then, not needing the insecured kernel anymore and keeping OTA updates intact, we flash back the secured kernel. So yes, you will still be rooted.
2) Will root allow to update ? Since you flash back the stock kernel, it won't affect root.
3)Will subsequent update to Jelly Bean have to re-unlock & re root again ? Unlock a permanent. We will have to re-root since it seems we cannot use OTA Rootkeeper and similar apps. Not a big deal though.
4)How to replace whole rom with this big size 81.5.38002.Retail.en.GB,fastboot command ? My firmware changer already includes and uses the newer fastboot that does 100MB parts required. (Thanks to P3Droid and aosp.us for that).
5) Any place can i get CWM with update kernel or new rom,backup? No CWM yet.
Have a good day.Bye.Daniel
Kind of off topic, but ok....
