download-droid-4-jelly-bean-update-98-72-18

Yesterday, Verizon approved Jelly Bean for the DROID 4 as build 98.72.18, but as is typical, Motorola sent the first wave of updates out to members of their feedback network (soak testers) this morning. And since that happened, the file has been pulled and made available to everyone with the device.
We have instructions for you below, so if you do not feel like waiting for the update to be pushed to your device, feel free to jump below.
The official changelog can be found here. here
Instructions:
*These are the instructions from the RAZR HD update, but they should work for the DROID 4 as well.
*You have to be running the official Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4) update of build 6.16.217. You also have to be completely stock.
1. Download the update file here: here
2. Drop that file on your SD card, not internal storage.
3. Turn phone off, and reboot into recovery.
*Hold both Volume Up and Down along with Power until you see the boot menu. Use Volume Down to hover over “Recovery.” Press Volume Up to select it.
*Once you see the Android and Exclamation point, press both Volume Up and Down at the same time.
4. Select “apply update from external storage.”
*Use Volume keys to highlight, Power button to select.
5. Then select the file you downloaded from above. It should already be on your SD card.
6. Watch as the update applies.
7. Once finished, choose the “reboot” option and enjoy!
DON'T FORGET TO SAY THANKS!

got this from droid-life

FYI, you will lose root if you do this without Voodoo unrooting first, as I just mistakenly did

yes ots's will cause you to loose root

So do I need to De-root and remove safestrap before installing this, or can I just install and then root this?

Safeboot and restore complete stock ICS. Don't worry about losing root. RAZR blade method is confirmed to work. Unless u have no access to PC then yes backup root with voodoo only if u are using super user latest binary. Restore root after jb update.

does anyone know if this changes the kernel as with gingerbread to ics? curious to know if my ics custom rom will work in safestrap still or if its a done deal

Sorry for spamming on this topic, but just tried to install this after disabling safestrap and done factory reset.
got to recovery and chose the file, it started install but then gave error
"Assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/bin/logwrapper", "aHASHCODE" ,"ANOTHER HASHCODE")
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
Status 7
Installation aborted."
EDIT: OK I have to flash it completely stock with RSDlite and clean package, just downloading it..
EDIT2: Just installing this update, clean ICS with RSDlite helped

i have not upgraded yet as i allways wait for some type of working sbf..sence this will upgrade your device to jellybean i am sure it will include new kernels

Is it possible to revert to the OEM 4.0.4 (6.16.217) firmware via the existing SBF?
Just curious, I haven't made the jump to JB yet.

does anyone know how to reflash after update? i mean to reflash the entire phone, not just do a factory rest/wipe. or is that my only option?

Like rruleford said the only way to totally wipe/flash the entire phone would be to wait for the xml fastboot files. What you COULD try is placing the JB OTA update on your external sd card, then booting into stock recovery, wiping data and cache, and then re-flashing the update manually. It should be able to flash over top of itself just fine. Not sure if it would fix anything but might be worth a shot.

ok thanks you all, i guess i can wait for the fastboot files then.. it hasnt rebooted on me all day so far. might have been a glitch with apps i installed that no longer work well on jb as they did on ics
Sent from my DROID4 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

aah dang sussed it. seems u can now reboot the fone by holding power button for 3-4 seconds. mine gets stuck once in a while so thats what i think was causing the reboots. any chance there's a way to turn that off?

I used nrt to root my n7, I am not sure about the method you used. Also if you changed any build prop parameters, or any stock system apps, you must revert back to the original files before this ota update will work. The update will check your n7 to see if there were any mods to the original stock files. If you can't revert back to know what was changed then you may have to do a full flash of 4.2.2 then flash the update...
Try to write down the error message when you try to flash the update, that may give you some clues...

Help doing Ota updating on rooted device!

Got a problem here... Wanted to ota to 4.4 in my rooted, s-off on stock rom.
Flashed stock recovery and downloaded the Ota but it turns to red triangle as its installing.
My question is would this be happening due to having Xposed framework and having Flashed some zips for ad blocking and such? Any feedback is much appreciated!

Also, if that is the issue, would flashing an old backup work if that was prior to using Xposed and such?
Please help! Thanks!

Maybe. The ota might check what's in the system partitions such as apps and such and if there's anything that usually isn't there when the phone is stock it might not update. I asked on the Verizon forum if it's possible to update after deleting some system apps and they said no but I've never tried it.

I eventually was able to update. I restored a backup I did before root, right after unlocking bootloader.
also, I used an old stock recovery. I found the most recent stock recovery and used that and it worked. so still unsure what exactly caused my problems but using the latest stock recovery and using unmodified stock rooted rom worked.
thanks for the response though, much appreciated. definitely soft bricked my phone few times before getting it done. phew...

[Q] Bootloader, before rooting... [SOLVED.NEED TO LOCK THREAD]

Hi there, I'm new here. I'd like to ask anyone who know about blootloader. I have one issue with my phone. A few days ago, (more accurate - 1-2 weeks) I did rooting for my phone Xperia Z. Before that, I checked the configuration, and then I was allowed to unlock it. But now, (after rooting) i'm not able to do that anymore. How to understand that?
Before rooting was writting : „Allowed to unlock bootloader: Yes“
After : „No“.
What the hell happend ?
Does software update will solve this issue with my phone ?
What I shloud to do ?
I'm going to attach photo after rooting. I had contacted Sony HELP, but they said that I should search help anywhere else, 'cause they don't know anything about it or they can't say.
Maybe they can't answer 'cause I'm living in another country in which there's no Sony phone centre, only the main.
Any suggestions?

Did you root using this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-xperia-z-zl-tablet-z-lb-ub-t2186368?
If so, you will see this written in the first post -
if u had an unlockable bootloader device, after using this method the device will be detected as LOCKED or unlock not possible!!! (to fix this use this fix)

Also, Sony support will not help with problems caused by you unofficially modifying the software on your phone, no matter where you live.

How I need to flash it ? I'm newbie at Android. :/
Do I need just replace that file with Root Explorer to it's file original destination? Thanks for reply.
EDIT: By the way, do I need upload META-IN folder too? :?
-- Sorry If I'm writting bad in English --

The method in that video is indeed the method that I linked to. You need to flash the file in recovery.
Try XZDualRecovery If you need a recovery. It should work, but I cannot be 100% on that as it seems you're on quite an old 4.1 firmware version.

I have that recovery already. It's needed to have SD card? Can I flash it though the phone memory ? Yes, I've 4.1.2 version. Awaiting for KitKat. Is there's any possibility to brick the phone? 'Cause I'm scared to try that then if so.

Yes, just put it on your internal SD. You will not brick your phone by flashing that file.

You downloaded the file from this post, rebooted into recovery, selected it and tried to flash it? If so, I have no idea why it would freeze up.

OTA update keeps falling....

I'm trying to complete the OTA update on my 925A, however after it downloads and reboots to begin installing, it's says "update failed". Is there anybody else experiencing this issue, and does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!

If your Edge is currently rooted, it will always fail.

In my case I de-rooted by doing an Oding restore, but was still getting the error. This was due to CSC (partition?) changes I made while rooted. I had to Odin all 4 partitions back to stock before the update worked for me.

Where did you grab all the files? Which do you put in each slot?

I believe I got the file here. Unzip the download, and you'll find all 4 files. Each file begins with BL, AP, CSC, and etc, so you know where to put each file.
