Consider yourself lucky. Several people are having so many problems that they've gone to VZW to get a replacement phone. And VZW is apparently granting them either a replacement RAZR or an early upgrade. This is NOT going to go well for the Moto/VZW relationship going forward. SIGH.
do you think i should call vzw and request a replacement phone,or stay with what i got, kinda worried about future updates now.
ONLY if you're having problems that are considered major. Don't worry about future updates. Moto MUST support upgrading this build to the final JB version when the time comes. So if you can live with this build until that happens (figure a month to 6 weeks....my best guess but they are working on fast tracking this thing to completion), then there's no need to replace it. At the VERY least you'll be able to fastboot the FXZ when the final JB build is released. So no worries about future updates....it'll all work out there.
....the RAZR JB build, and assumably the D4 and Electrify 2 JB builds, as well, all use the same 3.0.8 ICS kernel that we have on the Bionic right now.
Interesting. If it's on our Kernel, wondering if Hash can pull the camera and bluetooth modules out of the half leak 4.1.2 for the Razr and make them work on the bionic for any of or JB roms. (CM10, CNA, etc...). Or maybe our bootloader/kernel being locked up means this won't help.
OTA Rootkeeper seems also to need a bit of help with permissions once root is restored. In my case the issue is always raised by Titanium Backup, but it is also nice enough to offer me the opportunity to fix them automatically, right from the notification.As for root, I'm gonna give you guys a heads up right now...
-Install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
-Protect root
-Temp unroot
-Install update
-Restore root
Those steps should be put on a sticky note for you somewhere as we're going to have to do the same thing in order to retain root when and if we get our JB update.

Just thought I'd throw an update out there. The Bionic retail build of JB went into testing today. It should be noted it's the EXACT same build number as the D4 and RAZR builds. Unified builds indeed. If all goes well, it's possible we'll see a soak for it in 6 to 8 weeks.
No leaks. Cheesecake is history on a permanent basis. No idea if we'll get any way to avoid the new OTA.
