Ota 5.6.894 root?

Can we root 5.6.894? My girlfriend let the ota happen and the d3 lost root. It was previously rooted and i have a nandroid backup after root and bone stock. Can i revert it back or is there more to it than that?

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)

This is what i did
I flashed stock rom using rsd lite
RSD LITE 5.6: http://db.tt/y23vQ3Td
Using this zip: http://db.tt/hBFdk3qv
ROOTED AND 4EVER ROOTED MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IF YOU WANT ROOT[I always root stock instead of .893 fnr(for no reason)]
BOOT INTO STOCK RECOVERY
FIRST FLASH .893: http://db.tt/vfNEdVdf
THEN .902: http://db.tt/g0gm69Hq
REBOOT
enjoi
If your already on .893 just flash .902 in STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM
FOR SUPER NOOBS
Flashing to stock
Extract the flashme.zip to the desktop
Open RSD Lite and click on the ... symbol
In the box, go to desktop and choose "default_flash_targa"
Put your phone in Fastboot Mode

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.

If you lose root during the update, see here to get it back.

Please Delete!

here is a nandroid backup I made with all of the VZW and most of the LG stock apps removed to free up space. (ROM is rooted)
Directions:
1. Download file to SD Card
2. Unzip to External SDCard in /clockworkmod/backup/
3. reboot into CWM
4. go to backup and restore
5. select advanced restore
6. Then select the backup you just downloaded
7. select Restore system

Feel free to message me with any questions. I hope this will help people to get rid of the Bloatware the easiest and still remain stock.

Im assuming this requires being on zv8 in some form? Or can you flash it over zv7?

you have to be on ZV8 already

I was asking because I can't update to zv8 for some reason. Only way I've found so far at all is flashing the tot for it.

Flash the tot then restore this backup

Flash which tot? I was under the impression that you can't get rooted zv8 by flashing the tot, only by doing the aio and doing the ota update.

Easiest way to get back to stock rom Z7?

Do I just download the Z7 .tot file to the SD and flash as a normal rom?

No. Read my forum in development. There's inscructions in how to flash the tot
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5

Got it. I downloaded Z7 stock rom and then was gunna allow the update to install automatically, I guess I should have downloaded the Z8 rom to save some time?
oh well..

Alright, made it back to Z7 and did the OTA update to Z8..
now how do I root and get CWM again?? That ALLINONE executer does not work.

Start over from zv7 and read MT's easiest way to maintain root to zv8 inn the Dev section

Way to keep root through latest OTA?

Not sure which version it is V9? But I have been delaying it and delaying it for a few weeks and its starting to bug me. Is there a way to keep root through this yet? same as MT had for V8 using the verizon manual .tot program?

Check this thread. I have been avoiding the update as well, but it seems to have gotten more "insistent" of late.
I am downgrading using LNGPST, updating and then I plan to use this technique for root. Don't think you will end up with CWM, but I am not certain that I fully enjoy the value of CWM. Maybe I am just too new.

Hey guys, my phone keeps downloading that stupid update and then failing to install it, whats the proper way to get around this either to block it or to upgrade and keep root?
thanks!

To stop the update freeze the software updater. It may break blue tooth.
And everything for v8 works for v9. All aio's

So I need to...
1. install stock rom
2. Unroot
3. Do the verizon OTA to Z9
4. Reroot
5. CWM?

You can go this route.

After I used the tot I did a factory reset and then went to using the Easy Aio for v8 v9.

If you have cwm installed the ota will fail everytime. easiest method is to flash the v9 tot, then root, then cwm, then flash BO2.0. the issues come when ppl try to install cwm, ie install not taking. if that occurs, let me know and I can direct you on how to install cwm from the phone using terminal emulator.
the stock rom is not as efficient as BO. Plus no OC'ing and not as much tweaking. Most tweaks won't work OOB. Our stock rom doesn't have boot script support (init.d support) all scripts will need to be manually run at boot. battery life is different and tons of bloatware.

kk. My question was in order to flash the v9 tot do I need to unroot and install the stock v8 rom first? Or can the v9 tot be installed while rooted and using MT's ROM?

Yes. You can flash a tot over anything.
You will lose root and cwm.
