official ota 5.5.893 should i install it? - Motorola Droid Bionic

Just turned my phone on and it had a system update available to 5.5.893. I am forever rooted, and I didn't uninstall any bloat, also didn't update any leaked updates. Can I update and keep root, also can I just update or do I need to sbf back to bone stock? I have read all the posts on the leaked ota's but I want to be sure they didn't fix root in the official ota I just got. Thanks.

if you didn't install yet... can you use an app (like root explorer), to navigate to your /cache folder and grab the file FIRST?
Forever root "should" hold, and keep you rooted... BUT I haven't received the update to try it to confirm.

My son received the update, but it's not installing on his phone. It says installation failed. Yes, I was able to grab the 2 files that he downloaded.

My son was able to maintain his forever root. I had to update his phone through Stock Recovery, because for some reason the OTA process itself had failed.

Mine just failed also. But if I go to stock recovery it will let me install the update then, that's what your saying. Can I just use cmrecovery?

Yall think this official release is identical to the leak version?

I didn't use cwm recovery. I use the stock recovery. Copy the OTA file from here:
http://www.multiupload.com/0ZEN69NGO2 to the root of your sd card. Power off your phone, then press and hold the volume up AND down buttons at the same time, then press the power on button. Let go and you the screen should be the android screen with an exclamation point inside a triangle. Press and release both the volume up and down buttons to get into stock recovery. Choose apply update from sd card, use the power button to select.

For some reason the leaked version broke my 43v3R root. I ran 43v3R root and got the success and rebooted then installed the leak and now no root.
Is there a way to root now? I tried pete's root tool but it failed on step3.(adding su, superuser.apk, busybox)

Can I run this update using a theory ROM or do I have to be stock?
Also, does it format user data?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

Stock. And I do not believe it formats data - let me check.
---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------
OK, checked the updater-script file - no mention of /data anywhere, and it only mounts three partitions - /system /preinstall and /webtop.
I'm guessing that it does not - plus, I've not heard of anyone saying that it does, so....

[Q] Will 2.3.4 break root on my N1?

So yesterday I finally found some time to root Gingerbread on my Nexus One. We're moving to Germany from the U.S. in a month and the last couple of weeks I just didn't have any time to get it done. I had my N1 rooted when I was on Froyo and was desperate to root it again on GB.
Last night I set a couple of hours aside to familiarize myself with the GingerBreak exploit and ended up with a rooted N1 and Gingerbread 2.3.3
Here's the funny part... not 30 minutes after rooting I get an OTA notification to update to 2.3.4. Go figure!
Can anyone confirm that 2.3.4 will break root on the N1? If so, will the GingerBreak exploit still work to root GB again?
What would be the preferred/easiest method to upgrade to 2.3.4 and retain root?
2.3.4 will break root. just use the gingerbreak app again and youll be rooted
I figured it would break root but just needed some confirmation!
I didn't actually use the .apk but ran the exploit myself. I think this time around I may just use the .apk though.
Is it confirmed that the app will root 2.3.4?
Just boot into recovery, flash the update as file from SD, and then flash the su zip...

All right, let me recap so I'm not missing anything.
1. I download the 2.3.4 update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061270, rename it update.zip and place it in the root of my SD
2. Then I download the su zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and also place it in the root of my SD
3. Then I reboot into Clockwork and apply the update.zip
4. Once that's done I DO NOT reboot and apply the su zip
Is that it or am I missing something?
Don't apply it as an update, because your phone will reboot once it's done. If you reboot, you will lose your custom recovery. Use the "install zip from SD" option...
I tried to apply the update as zip from sd card and I got the following error, which seems to have something to do with google books
apply_patch_check(''/system/app/BooksPhone.apk'',numbers and letters
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas? Maybe it is because I had integrate Books into ROM? Any solutions?
Thanks a lot.

I'm getting the same error. I thought maybe it was because I had deleted Google Books from my system apps but after restoring the BooksPhone.apk I still get it. Not sure what the problem is.

this is only for those who havent flashed the un-edited update i guess. I flashed the original update too soon and it removed the root access on my wifes N1. I tried flashing the su last night it didnt work, really frustrating... ahihihihi
I was thinking if I flash the backup on 2.3.3 will that bring back the root access? or at least I can already use Gingerbreak then? ty

To do what? To root? This procedure is to, in this case, update to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 without loosing root.
Now I have an additional question. I wasn't able to use the original update file from Google, presumably because I had deleted the Google Books app. I kept getting the above-mentioned error.
Just out of curiosity, how could I get Google Books back so the update would run? Just placing it in /system/app didn't seem to work.
Not that it really matters, I used the modified update file that danger-rat posted, but for the future I would like to know how I can avoid this error.

Hey, I'm seeing a better responsive stock browser after the update.
The issue is discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873364
The scroll is now usable on pages with big images which wasn't the case before.
I'm so happy, I have a working stock browser again.
Anyone else see the same improvement?
Also do you know of any other bug fixes?
this is OTA update not Full ROM

I did it OTA style and it did not remove root for me. Weird.
Although I'll have to flash CWM again, it seems to be broken.
So, the root is possible on the new version 2.3.6 with the update.zip of chendd ?

I'm wondering the exact same thing.
Tried to flash the update.zip thru CWM but it gives an error. Is this normal?. Maybe have the "stock recovery" is a pre-requisite to flash an OTA update. If not, perhaps I missed something to do.

It happened the same here. I think it would give the same with the stock recovery, I already tried. I restored the very first backup I done right after rooting and it worked flawlessly. Maybe this happens when we give root permissions to apps that don't deserve them
However I lost root and I just re-flashed the superuser zip file.

Nope. I tried what you did. Also pushing the app via dab. Deleting data and cache then deleting the apk and pushing the new one. Every time it said the app could not be found cause it was not installed.
Anyone else have any luck with this?
The only other thing I can think of is replacing it in the rom zip file before flashing.
Can anyone extract the boot.img for 2.3.6 and post it up?
I kind of did something silly and need it!
Previous boot images do not work with 2.3.6.
A
Never mind, sorted!
PS: Just used the superuser file and have successfully rooted 2.3.6 and installed CW Recovery 5 too.
I know the dangers, but **** it, I like having root access!

I have a theory about the bootloader, please feel free anyone to shoot it down or help see if it will work.
TBH released patches for bootloader, kernel, and baseband. here
So my theory is that the bootloader patch they released was 30.04, if we get root on .621 and can get into Clockwork recovery, could we install this bootloader patch which is still 30.04, and then be able to SBF back to .602?
What do you guys think?

I was running stock .605 with root via the DROID 3 easy root script v7 and then did the the OTA update to .621 and after it was done and rebooted I still had root. If you're on stock .605 I would strongly recommend you root it via the DROID 3 easy root script v7 script (Google it) to root it and then take the OTA .621 update to keep root.
Update: After reading a response below to this post I decided to try and see if I could get root access with any new apps that were not installed prior to the .621 update and I have discovered that I cannot. So user trebuchet76 had the right suspicion that I didn't really have root anymore but rather the apps I had installed prior to the .621 update that had root kept it after the update but new apps will not get root access.
Hmmmm, that's odd....still wanting someone to confirm this was not an isolated incident.....

This sounds like bad info written all over it. The only sure fire way that I know of to keep root after OTA is Voodoo rootkeeper. Why risk it when there is no known root method for. 621 and no way to revert?
Sounds like to me, your previously allowed su requests are kept, but no new ones allowed.

After reading your post I thought I'd try and install a new app that required root privileges so I installed Titanium Backup and you were right! The apps that had root access prior to the .621 update kept root access but no new apps could get root access.

I saw on p3droid's twitter a few days ago that he was aware of the SBFing problem. I'm not sure if he's working on anything though. In his tweet he said that even though the bootloader was not updated, something in the cdt.bin had changed which blocks us from SBFing to an earlier build.

That makes me wonder at whether or not we could remove the file that causes SBFing to break (which is cdt.bin according to p3droid, I believe), package the update for CWM, and make it flashable that way.

System update problems

I was notified of a system update on my tablet today. Got it downloaded and started the update. About a third of the way through, the little android fellow keels over, dead, with the dreaded red exclamation.... Error. Tried the update a few times, all with the same result.
Anyone else having this problem with this update? Any suggestions?
I have to laugh every time I see the dead android... it's just a perfect icon for the situation.

My baby is fully stock... no root, not unlocked. But come to think of it, I might have disabled a few of the apps. I'll look into that possibility. Thanks for the lead.

You have to flash the stock recovery back and make sure all the bloatware that came with the rom is installed and not frozen.
The best way to go about this would be probably to flash sbdag's stock rooted rom, then flash the stock recovery from Droidbasement, then manually flash the firmware which you get from Asus downloads.
Not worth the trouble IMHO....

Download the firmware from Asus, unzip it once and copy that file to the root of your internal SD. You may have to reboot for the system to find it, but with stock recovery installed it should give you a notification.
That's how I remember it, but there was a lot of trouble for users trying to flash back to stock with the 4.2/4.3 update - don't quite remember, but I think those got solved when Droidbasement provided the flashable stock recovery.

He had the 4.2 posted and I think I still have it on a sdcard somewhere. But the manual update is all I need to do. Have you looked at the new update?

What I've seen so far is mainly complaints about worse battery drain than on 4.3 [emoji12]
Even the version number indicates it's a minor one... Better keep a nandroid [emoji41] [emoji2]

Original problem ... solved.
My original post of the system update not "taking", has been solved.
I got the update from the Asus site, and manually updated my tablet. Thankfully, the little Android guy did not die this time.

You can Manually update, the files are are located here androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=g900a&type=files, since you are on build OC4, the first update you want to do is G900A_OC4_tF2_OTA.zip, (located on page 2 of the link i gave you) after that you can then update to OF3, and then go from OF3 directly to PA1 which is the latest one.
to update rename it to update.zip, put it on the root of your external sd card. Then power off the phone and hold vol up+home+power until you see recovery in the corner, then let go of power and volume and keep holding home till you see the recovery menu. use volume down to choose update from sd card/external and power to select it then find the update.zip file and select it.
The update will factory reset your phone so backup everything you need.

Great write up, just to add a little bit. You don't actually need to rename the files. Just put the files on your SD card and select them one at a time. To get your phone updated to the latest, it will require several updates: OC4-to-OF2, OF2-to-OF3, and OF3-to-PA1.
