5.6? Yes you can just reroot?
I beleave they fixed the patch to root it on the update. Download rootkeeper from the market.

they fixed the exploit in 5.7.894, but its still open in 5.6.890
Looks like you might have to SBF the phone back to 5.6, root it, apply perm root, and go from there… it's going to be a pain, but it'll get you back to being rooted.

Jason, have you tried DooMLoRD's root method yet? (Filename DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip)
(I believe currently it is at version 3.0 and it can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653)

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.

don't know if anything is different but there it is
YES you can root afterwards

This is the same as the leak from last month. Thanks for sharing though.
Must be rolling out in batches. I'm in the Chicago area and I have not received the update yet.
In DC no update yet either. Am I gonna have to reroot applying this or unroot then reroot?

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?

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.

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.
I know it breaks forever root, but can it be manually be rooted? Also Im on 5.7.893 stock bloated and the 1.1mb update fails install for me, is this a blessing in disguise?
From what I understand, all it does is break forever root. I don't think there is any reason to try to install it. I haven't heard anyone comment about it being rooted if you do install it though. But I have heard that whatever they push OTA will be able to be rooted using an undisclosed method of root that will not be made available until after the OTA is pushed. Just what I've heard.

Same as I have heard, the only reason I would try to update to it is to stay on the upgrade path for future updates, and why it wouldnt install on mine when Im at 5.7.893.
If you are currently "forever rooted", installing the update will fail. You would need to back out the forever root to apply.

Nope, Im not. I tried to forever root but it failed, so I did it manually. I was at 5.7.893 but lost webtop, so I made a backup of 5.7.893, and used the method of going back to 5.5.886 and used the 54mb 5.5.886-5.7.893 that restores webtop, but didnt make a new backup of 5.7.893 with webtop, and went back to my backup of reblurred. Maybe I should have made a new back up of 5.7.893?
I have a feeling moto/verzion reads these forums to find out how we are rooting and use that info to fix it...

From what Ive heard it to solely break forever root, but I have no confirmation if manual rooting still works.
Manual rooting doesn't work it's been broke for a long time. All the leaks broke manual root.

I did unr3l3as3droot and forever root first. Then I did the path saver. Then I flashed 896 and 901. After that, I downloaded the 902 ota but didn't install it. Moved it from /cache to the external SD card. Then I turned the phone off. To turn it back on, I hit both volume up and down as I powered it back on. That took me to a different menu that I can't currently think of the name but that is where you will flash 902 at. Remember that the 902 update has 901 in its file name when flashing. If you come across a triangle thing, hit volume up and down and the update will flash.

Easier root method...
There is an easier way then this now...
1. Install update
2. Use the Droid 4 exploit found at vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/ and yes it works for the Bionic on 5.9.902 (i just got done using it)
3. Look at your phone.... its now rooted.
And everyone who uses it should donate to djrbliss and prove that the Android community can support such a valuable asset!

I just did the OTA over wireless and did the update and I kept ROOT.
I did un-froze all the apps I had frozen with titanium backup before applying the update.
Still have root...
In my case, the update wouldn't install. I had to go all the way back before I could go forward.

so being 100 percent stock .902 this works i am not rooted never have been i also want to be alble to flash the ics rom how do i go about doing this... and how easily reversable is this method meaning going back to 100 percent stock i want to be able to get the official ics when it comes out or return phone to vzw if needed.. thanks in advance..
If you lose root during the update, see here to get it back.
I updated my droid to this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334704 and i can't root my droid 3. I read on an earlier post the only root that worked was petes one click method i did that and i keep receiving an error on step 3. Sooo this update it not able to be rooted? i didn't use ota rootkeeper before i flashed, which i know i should have done. so i hope im not stuck and is it possible to root this version? i really don't want to have to flash back, root, save the root, then update again..
Post #9 of the link you provided says:
"Probably, not 100% sure but i think you need to be on motoblur fully bloated. Make sure you do a forever root before you update tho cause word is the moto/vzw have patched the exploit."
Looks like you probably need a new exploit, i.e. Petes 1 click won't work after updating.
The leaks can be rooted using the Droid 4 root method. Look for that in the Droid 4 section.

yeppers, was browsing the moto bionic forums and noticed all the chatter over it, checked on mine for updates and its d/l now.
Just did a check for update and there it was, downloading as we speak. Sweet.
One step closer to ICS .
Whelp, after installing lost all data connectivity! LOL!!
Rebooted into stock recovery, cleared cache, reboot - got 3g would not switch to 4g
Cleared all app cache via TiPro, reboot - 4g back and all seems fine. We'll see.
FWIW: Was rooted and had applied "forever root", verified kept root after update. Also had some bloat frozen.
OTA Fails
I've tried twice to update my Bionic with the OTA and it has failed. Has anyone been successful updating their Bionic OTA rooted? If not do I need to un-root and then do the update?

You need to get VooDoo app to backup root then temp. unroot. If you have any stock apps that you have frozen through TB then you need to restore them back to OG state. Your Bionic needs to be on complete Stock 902 in order for update to apply. Also if you have any trouble still uninstall Bootstrap recovery or SafeStrap recovery which ever one you use. Now if you have deleted any of the Stock apps then you will have to FXZ back to complete Stock 902 which I am sure you can find the links in the treads on how to get that done.
.905 sucked for me! I was stuck on no data oe 3G for 24 hrs/ no thnks

If you removed or froze bloatware, the OTA will fail.
Verify that forever root will keep root on update to .905?
Can anyone else verify that they have successfully kept root with forever root from .902 to .905?
As of midday yesterday, I did not see the OTA.
Today I switched to unsafe and found the OTA message. It was installed painlessly. I had problems but finally got back root, and installed Safestrap. Should I see how well .905 works, try to restore Eclipse 2.2 and see how it works, or download and try Eclipse 3.x?
Is this the same file as the previously released 905 files?

I have stock 902 installed with root...only thing I have modified was I used Rom Toolbox to install a lockscreen theme. Been trying to do the OTA update and keep getting Assert failed, I have tried factory resetting...Have not frozen or removed any bloatware.
I am thinking I should just revert back to complete stock without root but I would like to know if thats even neccesary before I go that route.
