2. BACK UP YOUR FILES TO YOUR PC BEFORE YOU UPDATE! BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED TO FACTORY RESET YOUR DROID RAZR DURING THE PROCESS!!!

Okay, before you update you Droid Razr, makes sure you have the latest update: Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Blur Version 6.12.181)

And 2 files that you need to download (torrent) are:

1. Droid Razr Utility 1.7 (747 MB) --> This is use to make your Droid Razr 100% ready to flash ICS 4.0.4 from Gingerbread 2.3.6, and it can also root your ICS 4.0.4, install Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, install Bootstrap.

2. OTA ICS 4.0.4 / Blur Version 6.16.211.XT912 Update (354 MB)

After you download the 2 files above, now you need to follow the steps to upgrade your Droid Razr to ICS 4.0.4 here (DroidForums.net) or read the instruction below:

1. Backup all your data (I recommend TitaniumBackup but you will have to have a rooted phone for that kegiatan to work). Otherwise use a utility like MyBackup (found in the Google Play).
2. Make sure battery is AT LEAST 60% CHARGED, if not 100%.
3. Download the official OTA "Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip" file from above.

29. If Desired, run Matt's Utility again to root your phone & install OTA RootKeepr (Make sure USB debugging is enabled).

Once it's your first time starting ICS, it WILL take a while to load up, it is normal, it will also be "Optimizing applications" at first start up.
