DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This will temporarily disable Safestrap, but once appled, you can restore Safestrap, and your previous Safe system should still be intact.
This is the Motorola update that is being soak tested. To install it, I unfroze all apps, used Voodoo Root Keeper to backup root, and installed from SD card.
To install from SD:
1. Download the file and place it at the root of the SD. After backing up root with Voodoo and unfreezing all apps, prepare to shut down the phone. You should temp-unroot with VooDoo at this point.
2. When turning the phone on, press and hold vol-up and vol-down at the same time. When you have the bootloader menu, press vol-down and then vol-up to get to Motorola recovery.
3. Reveal the recovery options by pressing vol-up and vol-down at the same time when the android and exclanation mark appears.
4. Choose to install a zip from SD, and choose the update. Power button serves as select, volume buttons to move selection.
5. When the update finishes and your phone reboots, restore root from Voodoo, and re-freeze any bloat. You can also restore Safestrap now.

http://omniimpact.com/android/motorola_updates/Blur_Version.6.13.215.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip
Recommended Software:
- AntTek App Manager
- Voodoo OTA Root Keeper
NOTE: If you lose Root accidentally, that is OK, just re-root the same way you did before.
NOTE 2: Did you delete or modify your system apps instead of just freezing them? This update will fail. You need to take these packages from the original firmware and use them to replace yours. The zip file contains just the packages you need extracted from skylarmb's very useful ROM.

All i did was use voodoo to temp unroot and installed update. Worked fine for me. But if this post was here before i did anything i would've followed it. I am having one issue tho. Play store wants to force close a bit. Not alot but it never did before

These directions are gathered from several locations and are designed to cover most situations. If you have not frozen bloat applications, you don't need to do the unfreezing part. My goal was to try to answer everything important in one place, such as keeping root, restoring safestrap, and bypassing the system integrity check.

I have been able to get all the way the the install part but it keeps aborting because of an invalad signature. I also read that you need to installing fro the sdcard-ext. While in recovery I have no option to navigate to my ext card... any thought? Thanks everyone
Sent from under a rock
Motorola's recovery ONLY shows the external sd card, sd-ext is just what Android calls it. If you are failing in a bad signature, have you made sure to unfreeze all apps? The patch checks that the initial system is intact before installing, so all the original software has to be there.

Here is a copy of my /system/app folder. Some stuff is frozen, but everything is in there. Let me know if the file is corrupted, I zipped and uploaded it from my phone. The frozen stuff has _fro appended to the file name.

Thanks for the instructions. Everything installed fine for me and root was easy to restore. The battery life has been great the last 2 days, but haven't used it a ton yet.
thanks a lot for the files! I'm still having update issues though

i think it's saying a checksum failed on BackupAssistanceClient.apk. how does one go about fixing this?
Make sure you have removed _fro from the apks related to backup assistant if you are copying them over. Also, I just realized, it might be an updated version (omg! Unlisted updated component!) Grab skylarmb's stock rooted rom, unzip it, and use the apk from there. It's a bit more of a pain than just a single zip of the folder, but it should have the upgradeable version of the apk.

i "deforsted" the apps you mentioned. i'm going to also try and get those original apks as well.

I find it odd that the update could conflict with itself. If that is the case, Verizon has a serious oversight since that means any partially applied update would brick a phone (instead of just resuming where it left off). Let me know how it works out.

what you said did the trick! the update is finally patching right now. I had to replace the system files one by one until they all passed the verification step.

You forgot a key step... I bolded it above.
---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------
Root is not working on mine any longer...
I ran the Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and backed up root before doing anything and all 5 checkboxes were green, confirming that I had backed up root...now that I am updated, I went back into Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and Device Rooted and Root Permission Granted are grey...hitting Restore Root says "Voodoo OTA Root Keeper has been granted Superuser Permissions" followed by "root su restored" yet the checkboxes don't change to green, and I can't run anything requiring root because my device "is not rooted."
Please help!
Edit - Also, opening the safestrap apk causes a force close...
I had zero apps frozen, and zero issues applying the update. I did make a complete nandroid backup before updating...
I am sorry, I updated the directions; if you check the way OTA rootkeeper works, you are supposed to temp-unroot BEFORE you apply the update. You are still OK, though. Just re-run the original root exploit and you will get root back. The patch does not prevent the original root method from working.

Ok, re-rooting worked. I also updated my binary SU and reinstalled safestrap. I rebooted and am running another nandroid backup for safety.
Thanks!
Really noob question here... I just got my droid 4 and was going to apply this update, the post says update 219, the file is update 215...?? Will this file take me to 219 or keep me at 215?
Thanks!
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
A good question deserves a good answer about a really dumb thing:
Motorola names their updates based on the verion that you are coming FROM and not what you are going TO. In a sense, I guess this is because they are incremental updates, or in other words, they each assume the last one was installed. By naming this way, you can always tell what the next update to apply is based on what revison you are currently running with little danger of accidentally missing one because you forget it and messing up your phone.
TL;DR;
It will upgrade you to 219.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I'm used to letting dev put updates into roms and just flashing, never done one this way. I always learn something new in the forums!

Anything worth a crap in this update?
I've looked but can't find anything that would make it worth the trouble.

1. Download the last LG driver on there website and install it.
2. Just download this file: http://www.multiupload.nl/VGCN3ZTFM8 It's SuperOneClick 2.3.1 for rooting your phone.
3. Extract it to a new folder and open the SuperOneClick.exe
4. Make sure that your phone is Plug into your PC.
5. Make sure that your phone is in Debuggin Mode.
6. Once software open, choose Psneuter Exploit on the right side...
7. And finally, click on Root button.
8. When that's done, your phone will reboot automatically.
9. Just unplug it and Enjoy. :good:
10. After rooting your device, just update your SuperUser app and then the SU-binary
11. Maybe you should update the Busybox (you can found an installer on Google Play)
12. Now you can install Rom Manager (flash Recovery) and Titanium Backup (Backup your Apps)
Give us feedback!!!

on my rom manager it says that there are "no legacy recoveries found" yet it successfully updated me to the latest.
Any way i can flash the old image (which i have) without having to inject it into a kdz and smartflashing my phone?

Either search for CWM touch flasher or look in devsection. Tantrums made quite a lot of flashable zips
some one says that the build-in upgrade is not very reliable, and may cause problem.
do I need to flash the 10.2 as a brand new install, means:
ie: boot CWM, wipe factory/reset, install zip, install new Gapps (still need to find it)
will this still allow me to have the apps and files (like under /Downloads)
thanks!
You could only wipe System and Cache (all Files in the Download Folder still be there), but yes you have to flash it with CWM. Take the Gapps from goo.im/gapps

Hi anyone.
I have modified my own framework.jar. I tried to install that. I did wipe cache n dalvik n then flash via TWRP. After I rebooted, I got bootloop
Solution ?

go into recovery and "push" (adb command) for example a new os or working framework and copy it to your system partition.
