Got it. I downloaded Z7 stock rom and then was gunna allow the update to install automatically, I guess I should have downloaded the Z8 rom to save some time?
oh well..
Alright, made it back to Z7 and did the OTA update to Z8..
now how do I root and get CWM again?? That ALLINONE executer does not work.

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!

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

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?

Thanks for the link, this method is not working for me and I have stock ICS installed, removed safestrap and all, but I get a code 7 validation error of the current version that is installed.. maybe because im dutch and have an adjusted build.prop and apnsconf for data

yes i believe that is what is going on
just installed root and was going to mess with the Build.prop to get wallet working. But before i do so i want to have a way of getting back besides for odin flashing back to stock.
No we do not, the bootloader is locked still and who knows when it's going to get hacked or if it will ever get hacked lol

thanks guys! just to make sure, if i were to change the build.prop to be the nexus to make google wallet work, and BY CHANCE it boot looped, i could flash the same tar file i used to root the note3 to fix it?

If you look at the Root de la vega, it comes with a oneclickbin.exe.
This is a oneclick odin to flash back to stock. If you don't want the root, don't do the remaining steps.
Thank you very much

I am looking for a TWRP flashable zip of the latest OTA.
I dont really want to RSD back to accept the OTA. I am running Eclipse 3.2.1 now.
Kind of a pain to safe all my data off, revert back then restore
Thanks,
I'd love to have this available to the community as well!

Keep in mind the OTA has a manifest file of "check sums" of files it looks for on your phone. If they are not there, or the ones there don't match the check sum, the OTA will fail. So if Eclipse 3.2.1 is a custom rom, the OTA will most certainly fail.
The way OTA (inside the zip) is written, it wont install from TWRP either. You'd have to open it up, and try to modify it, to make it installable via TWRP or CWM.
What would be the easiest way to go to back to stock on a N910T3? Is there a TWRP flashable zip to go back to stock?

What are you trying to accomplish? You want stock rooted, a stock Rom, or back to completely stock?

Stock rooted would be great if it's not too many steps. Otherwise stock rom would be nice as well if it's just one TWRP flash zip file. Is there such a thing or do I need to use Odin?

Honestly Odin is best because it'll get you back 100% to stock and then just root with Odin too.

How would I go back completely stock? In other words, what downloads would I need to have and that sort of thing. I have the SM-N910T3.
Just the original tar file and Odin. If you want root then cfautoroot ass well.
