The update was pushed to my phone today, don't know if its available for everybody or if its rolling out in baches, but I have the file and I'm not signed up for the soak test so I'm assuming its official.

Were you rooted prior to the updated? Had you removed or moved any bloatware prior to the update? Just wondering if the update unroots or fails if pre-loaded software is missing.
My phone came right from Verizon with 5.6.890 and I used one-click-root and Koush's D3 boostrap and all worked fine. Even if you lose root you can re-root.

I rooted before the update but I didn't remove bloatware, if you did it will probably fail. you can replace your deleted bloatware with PetesMotorolaRootTools
@LRiley Thanks man, good to know. I did not delete any of the bloatware, just moved them to a sub-folder so restoring will be a piece o'cake. Will do that now because I have no idea when I'll get the update from VZW.
Did this OTA fix the swype spanish bug? Also, have you been able to ROOT your D3 after the official OTA?
congrats...

The MD5sum is the same as the leak from last month, meaning it hasn't been touched since before it was leaked. Also means all the same fixes and issues are present.

If you have the bootstrap, can you apply the leaked update from Verizon? Or will it fail because of verification?
Don't know for myself yet, but this fella said it worked.

Worked. I forgot about the one click bloat freeze I ran a while back :/ Thanks!
After running this update, I am not able to complete the root process.
I get the following error with psouza4's one-click
Running exploit step 3 of 3 (adding su, busybox, and superuser.apk)... FAIL!
ERROR: we have root, but couldn't push busybox. Not sure why!
After the update, did you go back and make sure debugging was checked?
Also, make sure the allow for unkown sources is checked.
Setting-->applications
Just a thought.

I've been putting off running the leak but now that its official its great to be able to download and run this without getting near my computer, everything worked flawlessly, thank you much.

Yes, I made sure both of those were checked. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Anybody know why step 3 might be failing, and can't push busybox? I'm hoping psouza can chime in with a suggestion. Is there an issue with this update?
I'm stuck, and this phone just isn't the same without root.
Can someone with the 5.7.893 OTA whose webtop works and shows the proper version (as opposed to unknown) please pull and post a link to the following webtop files:
DockService.odex
PortalApp.odex
DockService.apk
PortalApp.apk
Thanks
It is also very important whenever anyone gets a file from the test servers via the cheesecake app to pull the file from the /cache directory and copy it to the sdcard-ext directory so you can save it for general use and analysis for what is valuable.
Thanks!

Sorry guys I am so tired and have read 1000 threads but just want to make sure where I am going. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
On 5.5.893 Rooted/4ever-rooted/HIFT3R[D3]BLURV2.1
What is the route upwards to 5.7?
I have seen so many different things posted in so many different threads I have just about forgot who my own wife is due to my head being so scrambled right now. Well, I guess that's not such a bad thing. Lol... No really, I do love her but at this time my Bionic is number 1 for the next few hrs.
Thanks again for any info that is given.

There is a 5.5.886 to 5.7.893 leaked ota which you will need.
The issue with webtop was the 5.6.893 mr1.
By applying the leaked update mentioned above you will have a working webtop.
Follow the instructions in this thread.

If Im already on 5.7.893, but have a CWM back up of 5.5.886, can I revert back to .886 and apply the full update posted above to regain webtop?

You should be able to, but make sure you make a backup of 5.7.893 before you do just in case it doesn't work and you need to go back.
I already have a backup of 5.7, so I went back to 5.5.893 and did the update, and although I did forever root, I lost root. But I manually installed it, so all is right with the world again.
I can get these to you.

Thanks man! got them, they worked.
had to fiddle with it a little bit to get them in the /app folder but I was able to make it happen.
I basically copied them, went into system/app and renamed systemui.apk and it instantly began a FC loop.. thankfully there's a very brief pause between clicking the FC and allowing me to click paste.. did this for both the APK's and viola.. back to stock notifications and I was able to update without wiping!
Cool. I am glad it worked out. Did you do this instead of flashing back to. 886?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
yup.. copied both files, and rebooted. I was able to successfully go to OTA .893 and then root.
For convenience sake, I have compiled the Motofail rooter into a single exe file (for use on builds with a GB-based kernel). I have also compiled the ICS root exploit into a single exe file as well (for builds based on a true ICS kernel). No code has been changed, and all credit goes to Dan Rosenberg (@djrbliss).
Universal Gingerbread (GB) Rooter: Download HERE (virus free)
Universal Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Rooter: Download HERE (virus free)
These rooters have been tested and working on Droid 3, Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, Droid 4, even on the latest ROM releases like the 5.9.905 for the Bionic and the official/cheesecake ICS leaks. Please make sure you use the right rooter, one is for GB and the other is for ICS. These will work on the official OTA releases as well as any custom ROMs.
If needed, the latest Motorola USB PC drivers can be downloaded here:

So I'm almost ready to use this but I do need to know if there is a way to unroot back to stock on the .902 root.

No, this is nothing more than the standard motofail, it is just compiled into a single EXE file now. I created it because I had people asking me how to use Motofail. One guy asked me what file he runs, or if he copies the files into his sytem of his phone **yikes**, so I made this just for convenience sake (it only runs on Windows, so it should be pretty clear).
Thanks crobs! This is a great idea. I want to let you know I've added it to my step-by-step guide, which I hope will be helpful for anyone who is unsure how to use this tool to root their phone.
wow ok i thought this was self explainatory run .batch file i guess people have never used a one click root exploit wouldn't know but this was by far the easiest root method other than odin of coarse

A lot of people find this website when they want to do something specific with their phone. The majority of them do not know what a batch file is. The devs on here have a lot of good information but spit it out at a high level, expecting people to just "know" a ton of information right off the .bat (pun intended)
I am simply trying to bridge the gap, as you can probably infer from my practical/layman-term tutorials.

Tried this with Xoom but says: remount failed
and no luck. Does this even work on Xoom or is this particular file only for phones?
Edit: Could whoever did this include the local.prop file and step 5. from the original Dan Rosenberg thread? Apparently then it would also work for Xoom tablets.
PRETTY PLEASE!

I would be happy to rebuild it, however what file are you referring to? I thought I packaged the latest version, and I never saw anything about it working on the Xoom to begin with. Feel free to enlighten me though because once it worked on my Bionic, I stopped researching.

thanks and I have a question. adb is broken on my Bionic and has been for months that's why I haven't updated until now because all root exploits until recently have utilized adb and for some reason, my adb on my Bionic is broken except for adb wireless, so does Motofail use adb at any point during its process? i mean it kinda has to doesn't it? I don't know I've never known how the root programs work step by step, its just most i've ever used have used adb, except on my Droid Eris I had a one-click root.

i think you need adb
i got my adb working. I updated my phone to .902 on a hunch that it might fix my adb and it worked. I ran motofail and this is what i got
[*] Deploying payload...
cannot stat 'motofail': No such file or directory
Unable to chmod /data/local/motofail: No such file or directory
[*] Owning phone...
/data/local/motofail: not found
[*] Rebooting device...
[*] Waiting for phone to reboot.
actually.....my phone didn't update which is weird. it got stuck in a bootloop and so i went into factory recovery and factory reset it, and it went back to .886. but I got it forever rooted so hopefully it will be able to update successfully from here

Would anybody mind uploading a zip file of their "/preinstall" system folder from their Droid 4? I'm missing some files from in there. Specifically the video files for the "Guided Tours" stock app. I must have deleted them a while back, and now I can't install the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I went back to stock, removed Safestrap and unrooted the phone to do the update. And when I go to do it, it gives me an error because those files weren't found. They don't seem to be in the Droid 4 Dump, so I guess I'm S.O.L. unless I can get them from somebody.
If I deleted those, I probably deleted something else from in there, so could you please send me the whole directory? I'd be happy to throw you a donation. Ten bones sound fair? Many thanks in advance.

Yeah, I think I did read something about those utilities in another post. I'm kind of iffy about going that route, because I've never used them before, and don't wanna like seriously mess up my phone. Was hoping to avoid it, but I guess it is what it is.

Yes and yes. Just DL the utility and fast boot ICS file. Unzip ICS file and move files to the files directory of utility. Make sure latest drivers are installed and battery is full connect phone run utility select boot into fast boot then option 11. Choosing to save files still won't let u install the update. Let it do its thing.

Went ahead and did it last night, and it worked! After using this to reset my ICS stock ROM, the OTA Jelly Bean Update installed just fine. Thanks a ton. I gotta say, this online community rocks! I love how helpful and supportive everybody is of each other.
One minor note, I had to do this on my roommate's Windows 7 computer to get it to work. I couldn't get it to work on either my laptop or desktop, both of which have Windows 8. The phone drivers wouldn't install. Strange; I downloaded the USB drivers from Motorola, and they appeared to install, but when I plugged my phone into the computer, and went to use the Utility, it kept giving me a "Device not found" error. And also, when I checked in "Device Manager," it showed my phone with an exclaimation point and said that the drivers weren't installed.
When I followed the same process on a Windows 7 computer, the drivers installed as soon as I plugged the phone in. Weird; Motorola's website said that the drivers were for Windows 7 and 8. I tried disabling "Signature Verification" on Windows 8, but that didn't work either. Anybody know if Motorola hasn't released Windows 8 drivers for Droid 4 yet? Just wanna know for future reference. Thanks a bunch.
