The Motorola RAZR M has been one of those devices for which Motorola
has promised a Jelly Bean update. These updates usually take a long time
to reach your device and are also rolled out regionally Over The Air
(OTA). But if you are a Motorola RAZR M user, consider yourself lucky
because you can now update your RAZR M to official Jelly Bean using
this tutorial.
Please note that you flash this at your own risk. It is confirmed that it is the official Jelly Bean but you never know if Motorola will roll out this version in the OTA. However, whenever there is an OTA, you can update it from your device. As of now, you can give this one a try but yes, at your own risk.
Make sure you backup all data because we advise you to wipe away everything while you update your device to prevent any force close or low memory issues.
