[RESOLVED] Bootloader Unlocked, rooted, OTA update failing?

[Sad Panda]

Hey all,

Ok, so I rooted my Razr HD, unlocked the boot loader, and now would like to take the latest OTA update. It is failing right now. I tried a factory reset before doing it, and saved root with voodoo and all that. I am assuming though, that it is failing because the recovery is not stock? It's TWRP.

What do I need to do to get the damned OTA update installed, and then have the custom recovery with root intact?

Thanks!

Resolved:
Used clockwork mod instead, downloaded stock image, flashed using RSD Lite 6.1.4.

You can go the hard route and re-load the stock recovery, re-load all of the stock apps, and take the OTA. You can also fastboot to the latest OTA and just re-root. It's easy to re-root with an unlocked BL, you just need to flash SU in recovery. The easiest option is to find a stock ROM on here and just flash it. I believe there are a couple in dev section. Also, there is one on Batakang that's based off of the latest DST ROM.

Oh ok, so the stock roms are using the updated kernel/baseband/etc ?

as long as you didnt delete or freeze any stock apps put stock recovery back on using this tool. http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar then take the update. make a note of your baseband before you start because the update is going to fail at the end even if it installs. the bb will let you know if you got all you could or if there are issues. afterwards, restore root and use the tool to put cwm or twrp back on.

Hi guys,

So i had my phone rooted with an unlocked bootloader running CM for quite some time. I decided yesterday to go back to stock (factory reset via matts utility). Its been hitting me with an OTA update since then, and i kept hitting install later...install later....

and today i accidentally hit install now. So it tried to do it via CWM recovery, and obviously failed. and when it fails, no matter what i do, it reboots back to the system (which is good), but then immediately tries to run the update again.

Is there any way for me to get this to stop happening? I turned off my phone in case i have to do something via fastboot (save the battery). but can i maybe flash the stock recovery through the utility? would that do it?

Thanks for any help!

This is for the 907 but same steps as for the 926, just get the 404 xml for the 926 & mod the xml as I did for/in the xml file.
There are several steps to delete.

Just compare the stock & mod9 xmls, no secrets.

Just be warned that downgrading to 4.0.4 will NOT allow you to unlock the bootloader.
