Installing Update error - Needs backup assistant

[Andy sax]

I broke my old razr and found one on craig's list that checked out but when I tried to update I got an error message saying I need to "check_patch_file ... BackupAssistanceClient.apk" I've dl'd the file from other forms but when I go to install, it just says "not installed." It seems I have to sbf or root which look to be dangerous things to do. Is there a safer way get the file or trick it into thinking I have the file? Although I feel compentent enogh to root or sbf, I don't want to if I don't have to. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

its possible that the phone is already rooted but might be on a stock firmware, download rootchecker and see if your rooted.

if your not rooted your can sbf a stock firmware via RSD lite , all you pretty much have to do is download RSD lite, and the moto drivers install, download the firmware, place your phone in sbf mode load the file let the program run and done over all time about 20 mins which includes downloading the software

Apparently it is rooted. :-\

How would I go about unrooting? Or should I?

 

[famouzstarz#AC]

if the device is rooted to not attempt to update OTA! and defer or reject any incoming OTA!

you can either move forward with your rooted device and download rom manager and flash Clock Work Recovery, which will replace the stock recovery if its still even there.
if you flash clockword you can look over on xda for a custom rom, or a stock rom debloated (verizon junkware removed)

or

you can sbf a stock image and return the phone to an "out of box state"

Awesome! I think I'll just sbf to stock. One more question though. The posted link says I'll go back to gingerbread but I'm on 4 0 4 (ICS?). Is that a problem? I've seen a few posts where people get stuck in gingerbread after sbf because their system says they're up to date


If I saved the jellybean update to the sd could I manually update it without ever being in ICS?

 

[famouzstarz#AC]

you will sbf to whatever firmware you download, since you will be using rsd lite what you put it what you get. im sure you can already download the latest ota and sbf that

got stuck in bootloop after "restore droid razr to 6.12.173". Automatically put me in recovery saying:

"E:Can't mount /chache/recovery/command
ge 1/1
E:Can't mount /chache/recovery/caller
E:Can't mount /chache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /chache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /chache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /chache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /chache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /chache/recovery/last_install"

I did a factory reset but still get stuck in bootloop. Also, when I try to run the specific unroot process it stalls at "waiting for device"

I would not follow these directions. Rom manager is not good for razr. You can update OTA while rooted. This person does not have his facts straight.

I followed the directions on the linked site and got stuck. Any advise on how I can move forward? If I can update, should I?

So I dl'd the droid utility 1.82 and fastbooted back to ICS with all stock software. Unbricked and was able to install the new update!

First off what razr do you have, if you're on Verizon us version then that is not the right fastboot file. Verizon us fastboot file is 6.16.211. I will have to look up the full file name. Use this to fastboot back to stock ICS Droid razr Verizon us version. Root and then you can take OTA update to JB.
