[Q] 5.7.893 Webtop

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!

Bump. Please. Someone...

Lost
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.
Tim

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.

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.

[Q] Need Help, messed up root

OK all, I really messed up my phone, first I could not get it to restore using RSD but finally got that figured out, but now no matter which method I use I can't get root back on it. I get permission errors when trying to push su & busybox using dhacker29 bionic pathsaver. I have pushed different restore file versions on 902 right now, and even tried to restore to an earlier version using Bionic Pathsaver and they all fail to push. The phone us up right now on 902 but there has to be something hanging around mucking it up.
Is there anything I can do or am I pretty much screwed. At lease I have it up and running and things work, so it is not a total loss. Just no root.
Thanks
UODATE: Finaly Had Success rooting the DROID. I took the over the air 902 upgrade after rebuilding it about the 8th time and then used this method. smooth as butter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yctmA_RYEqY

I've encountered this problem before. First did you try MotoFail? If you did and it still doesn't root, you have to go to Stock 5.8.886. Run R3l3AS3DRoot and 43V3R Root. And if you want to update go here.

Did try motofail
I did try motofail and it did not complete and think that may be my problem, the phone works but it never end the routine and gives me the PASS. On the second link I have been trying to get into it for the last several hours but it is dead. R3l3AS3DRoot and 43V3R Root
(http://r3l3as3droot.th3oryrom.us.to/R3l3AS3DRoot_Windows_V2.1.zip). does anyone know where I can get the file.

You may also have to use path saver. R3l3as3DRoot and for3v3r root took me back, but left out some necessary files needed for the updates. Running path saver put the necessary files back in.

the link you posted at the end, that is a god send! i was about to go through unrooting my phone to go through and flash all the crap again, so i could use webtop again! thanks to the link you posted about safe strap, i now know i can just bounce between "ROM" and moto not-BLUR... so i can get the files out, and use a better rom, instead of having to keep blur for webtop through a rom like UNL3ASH3D... which would have left blur! i know i will proly have errors from Webtop in a not blur environment. but you saved me HOURS. now if my damn extended batt would just hurry and charge... not gonna backup and flip partitions with 47%...

Good deal man.

ATTENTION: You can use Motofail-ICS or RAZR'S EDGE to root the ICS .246 update.

There are like a zillion threads (ok I'm exaggerating) ballooning over the forum about, "How do I root .246?"
Motofail works just fine for this. As does Razer's Edge. It's been answered quite a few times by various posters.
Crobs links to Motofail here in Optional Step E:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993
So hopefully this catches your attention if you're wondering what to use to root. (And hopefully no more new threads on this very simple answer will pop up ^_^)

Thank you for making my search simple for me. Haven't rooted yet but motofail is on my laptop from the gingerbread days.

Unfortunately Motofail didn't work on my Bionic, failed on the 1st step (push exploit folder), continued past but everything got a failure message. I ended up using Razr's Edge (link) which did the trick in one try.
Seems to use the same exploit but slightly different script to push it? (too busy @ work to look into the details, sorry)

Just use Rzrs edge. It honestly doesn't get any easier then that.
Plug in the USB. Turn on debugging. press enter..... done

Motofail has an ics version. I got it from 4shared after a quick Google search for Motofail ics

Unrooting when Razrs Edge was used
I just rooted my bionic after the ICS update and put on Safestrap v3.05 and backed up the system as it was at that point to capture the entire OS and apps. So I can put it back as it was to that point. (Rooted and installed Safestrap v3.05)
My question is 2 fold actually.
1) If/when we get JB, do i need to be unrooted and totally stock to get the OTA OR can i just be rooted and remove Safestrap with all apps and OS restored to full to get the OTA JB?
2) If i need to be unrooted, is there a way to unroot the bionic after i have used Razrs Edage?
Thanks for any help in advance

1. You definitely need to remove safestrap. Root shouldn't be an issue as i understand it. "Forever Roots" are, but you didn't go that route.
2. I believe House of Bionic will unroot and keep data safe. I always fxz before ota events, which wipes everything.
