Does anyone have a backup of 6.893?
Typically I am very diligent, but somehow I forgot to make a backup of stock.
I have not switched to any other update. I have read through everything thoroughly and I apologize for failing to follow instructions. With 5 android devices and multiple flashes I have never missed this before. And I realized it as soon as I flashed TH3ORYS rom
From what I gather the easiest and most effective way to get back on track is to flash a stock 6.893 rom make a backup and move on from there.
I appreciate anyone's help!
I am also open to using this thread or creating one in delopment to post the stock roms of every version.

Not entirely true. His system will be back to 5.5.886, but his kernel/radio will be his previously upgraded 5.6.893. He is off the upgrade path until he gets the matching system file of 5.6.893. Only then can he continue updating. I just went through this exact thing, used the one step recovery, but went back to .886 and had to beg to find someone to send me a CWR back up of their 5.6.893, which got me back on track.
Oh yeah...nevermind. I completely thought you were wanting stock not the ota. That's what I get for speed reading.

I'm afraid I dont, I got back to 5.6.893 then immediately upgraded to 5.7.893 and backed that up, since .6.893 was no good to me any more. I'm sorry.
Someone out there has to have this!
....I hope

Wont it fail because I'm not coming from stock? And if I go all the way back it wont work because ill end up with a hybrid?

I'm in the same situation. Yes, all attempts to upgrade fail because our sys filed don't match our radio. I need this nandroid as well.

Giving someone a backup made on your device or restoring a backup made on someone else's device is an extremely foolhardy proposition. You are cloning the Android_id from one device to the other, which means that apps that use it as an identifier will push and pull data from both devices without any intervention from the unknowingly affected user.
system img
correct me if im wrong but, all we need is the system img right because im stuck with a hybrid
Does anyone know if restoring my 5.893 back up will work, or create a hybrid? I ask because I think it is the same radios?

Check your pms and please don't share in case there is some of my data still left in the backup. just download all the files and put them in a folder and put in your clockwork backup folder on your sd/ext, probably the best way is to restore with advanced restore and just restore system only.

I have really been through the ringer today. I started off this morning by noticing that I had no data at all. I was on 6.893 and TH3ORYROM 2.1 and have been for a few days with no trouble until today when I lost data. I tried everything to get it back, but nothing. I called VZW to make sure there wasn't a network problem in my area and they suggested that I try everything that I had already done (bat. pull, sim card re-register, turn off LTE radio, etc). When they couldn't fix anything, they wanted to transfer me to tier 2 tech support, but they apparently need to talk to me on a different phone so they can diagnose this one, but I didn't have access to another phone. So I decided I would try to flash one of the updates hoping it would reflash the radio file and wake it up. When I got home, I used the R3L3AS3DRoot to restore to stock and tried to install 7.893, but the update failed. I searched around and tried every method I could to get any of the updates to install, but nothing worked, still no 3g either. Eventually, in my desperate attempt to fix this myself I decided to wipe everything and start over. I wiped the webtop partition. I think that's what really screwed me up, because nothing else I did was any different that what I've done in the past. After wiping everything, I went back to the R3L3AS3DRoot and tried to run it. No matter which option I selected, it seemed to run fine, but I couldn't boot past the fastboot screen. I tried to fxz using RSD Lite, but every flash I tried failed. Then, in a panic, I came across P3's moto-fastboot method used to "get you back on the update path". I ran that and it freaking worked!! Then I figured I'd try to get up to 7.893, but I've tried absolutely everything I can find mention of and nothing works. Every install fails. I am getting some intermittent 3G now though. And to top it all off, I discovered that none of the nandroid backups I've made will restore and most of them don't even exist. I just discovered that I needed to check "use external storage" for the backups to take. I thought I had been covering my ass by making backups, but they weren't valid. Currently I have stock, rooted phone with an intermittent 3G signal. System Version 5.5.886, baseband CDMA_N_03.1C.57RLTEDC_U_05.15.02, kernel [email protected] #1, and build number 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. As I sit now, my plan is to see how it acts tomorrow and if I still have a lot of trouble with data, I will return it to stock unrooted and take it into a Verizon store and see if they will let me try a new SIM card. I don't really know what else to do at this point.
Can someone post a step-by-step method on how to update to. 902 and keep root. The more detail the better. I only ask this because this is my second bionic and I dont want to brick it.
Thanks in advance!
I'm in the same boat haven't bricked but never rooted a locked boot loader device before but I just want me some taste of ics..

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.
This is a leak for the 6.7.2233 update (Android 4.0.4) for the Bionic.
You must be on stock .905 to use this.
You must flash from STOCK RECOVERY.
Use of Safestrap is NOT recommended.
You may need to FXZ to .902, take the OTA update to .905 and then flash from STOCK RECOVERY.

installed ICS
Installed 6.7.2233 and it was pretty flawless. I flashed back to .902 and did an OTA update to .905. I haven't rooted yet but I hear there is a way to do it.
Couple of things I noticed
On stock launcher, when plugging in webtop it doesn't work. I got ADW and it works fine now.
Bluetooth seems to work better, wifi is WAY faster (I know this by doing speed tests a lot before and after). I can't speak for 4G yet but will report back when I know for sure how it's doing.
CPU is now running at 1200MHz vice 1000 and it doesn't seem that it auto adjusts to lower speeds like previous versions did so we will see how battery life does. Battery life seems fine so far though.
Any pics or video? Please post!
can someone please tell me how to update to this ? i have already unrooted with voodoo and when i go into recovery to install update it tells me it cant verify signature. i am on 905

I have been running this for 24 hours. In that past 24 hours, the data connection works worlds better than the cm9 of gummy roms I have tried in the pas 2 weeks. In those pas 2 weeks, whenever I hit a 4g zone, no data at all. Today I drove through different zones and was switching between the 2 without issue! Hopefully this update will help solve problems some of us have been having with a data connection.

It's surprisingly easy, but I can understand the daunting task if you've never done any playing with the guts
Download the link at the front page to your computer.
Connect your phone to your computer and click on the "Mass Storage" Setting when the USB options come up.
Copy the downloaded .zip file to your external SD card. Don't worry about unzipping it or anything.
Once it's down, turn your phone off, then turn the phone back on while holding both the up and down arrows. This will boot your phone into what's called "Stock Recovery". To navigate Stock, you click down to move through the options, then up to select a choice.
Click down once (iirc) until your highlight Recovery, then click up to select
This will place you in Recovery mode, if there is nothing on your phone but an icon of android and an exclamation point, hold both of the volume buttons again.
From here, you will use the volume buttons to navigate, and the power button to select items.
Go to, Install update from external storage.
Highlight the .zip file you put there earlier
Wait 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy your ice creamy goodness 2-3 weeks before everyone else. Once you start it up it will "optimize the apps" for a bit, this is natural ICS behavior.
Now that you've flashed your own rom in custom mode, you can start looking at rooting and flashing custom roms. Personally I'd hold out until the developers have time to parse out ICS and update their roms. I believe even the current unofficial "ICS" roms are based on Gingerbread kernels that has been heavily modified.
Here you go folks. I put it up on my server which is much faster.
http://playeraffinity.com/files/Blur_Version.5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
I was going to put it on a download page and all that jazz, but I know you all want to get right to downloading it so all i ask is if you have any free time, check out the site my server is for, Player Affinity. There's a lot of interesting articles on there and you might find something worth sharing.
Once ICS is official on the bionic, I'll get cracking at an Affinity ROM for it.

Right now his phone wont go past the moto splash screen. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

Sounds like the system files on the phone have been modified by a rooted application. In other words, the phone isn't completely "stock" anymore, and the update verifies that the system is still the way Verizon wants it to be before applying the update.
You may end up having to flash your phone back to 905 and apply the update again.

I concur. I am sure that something has been modified. I've seen that error a time or 2 myself. It could be due to having bootstrap or safe strap installed.

I cannot get OTA to install either. I am stock rooted with 4ever root and also have voodoo. No frozen apps. I get the android unpacking screen then get a triangle with exclamation point and it reboots. I have tried rooted and using temporary unroot with voodoo. I've read Safestrap needs to be uninstalled, is it so for Bootstrap also, because I do have Bootstrap installed. House of Bionic mirrors have been broken until this morning, so I'm in the process of downloading the OTA file now, but, I expect the result will be the same (just won't have to keep downloading it from verizon after every failed install). Thanks in advance!

You need to flash a fresh 905 to get rid of Bootstrap. Then you can the install Motorola OTA. Use house of bionic to root again.

Get rid of anything resembling root or custom bootstraps. I would FXZ to 905 to be honest (if you have never gone past .232!!), and just wipe it all out. After OTA, use motofail or HoB to root it again, and all is good in the world.

Yes, I read your post, just as I read this one. You said it "could" be due bootstrap, while I appreciate your efforts to help in that attempt, that was not a definitive answer. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could give me a more meaningful answer so I could focus my efforts where they were going to matter. Hypothetically, someone who knew the answer to this may have chosen not to respond to your post and only when they saw the question posed later, decided to answer. For example, are there any responses to the post you are referencing, which, you think I didn't read? Waiting....uh, NO. Are there any responses to my post? Two helpful and one completely not. I'll let you figure out which is which. So let me take this opportunity to thank meturne2 and digitalr0gue (even if you did insinuate that I didn't read the post) for the useful answers. But, if you promise to hold your breath, I will give you a thanks for your oh so helpful post. Really, I will

Yes, I read your post, just as I read this one. You said it "could" be due bootstrap, while I appreciate your efforts to help in that attempt, that was not a definitive answer. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could give me a more meaningful answer so I could focus my efforts where they were going to matter. Hypothetically, someone who knew the answer to this may have chosen not to respond to your post and only when they saw the question posed later, decided to answer. For example, are there any responses to the post you are referencing, which, you think I didn't read? Waiting....uh, NO. Are there any responses to my post? Two helpful and one completely not.

It's kind of hard for me to give someone a definite answer about bootstrap if they don't say they have it installed or not. If they give no details about what they have on their system, it could be bootstrap. How am I supposed to give a definite answer about it being bootstrap if they don't say they have bootstrap installed. Chances are is that most people who are having problems, are having them due to either safestrap, bootstrap, or some other mod installed. If they don't have any mods installed, then the issue would probably be bootstrap or safestrap. Since I cannot look at their phone to see for sure, then yeah, it is a probably. If you can read someone mention something about it probably being bootstrap, wouldn't it be easier to look into it instead of asking another question thats probably already been asked at least 10 times through the various forums.. Most of these things can be found if you look.

I cannot get OTA to install either. I am stock rooted with 4ever root and also have voodoo. No frozen apps. I get the android unpacking screen then get a triangle with exclamation point and it reboots. I have tried rooted and using temporary unroot with voodoo. I've read Safestrap needs to be uninstalled, is it so for Bootstrap also, because I do have Bootstrap installed. House of Bionic mirrors have been broken until this morning, so I'm in the process of downloading the OTA file now, but, I expect the result will be the same (just won't have to keep downloading it from verizon after every failed install). Thanks in advance!

Having the same issues as you, did you ever get your update installed? I did the whole voodoo thing but the update still failed. I have unfrozen all apps. I am stock. Any light you could shine on this issue would be a great help! Thanks!

If you're really that stuck, you can find the .246 fxz file and use RSDLite to flash it to your device. You'll lose everything on your internal SD card, but the external will be fine. For the .246 fxz file, google "bionic 246 fxz xda" and for the instructions on how to do this, google " [GUIDE] Easiest Step-By-Step Tutorial For Upgrading Your Bionic To ICS". Both should come up with xda links to the applicable topics.

Do you have bootstrap or safestrap still installed? If so, it won't install and you will have to remove them first for it to install.
If you have any hacks installed, you will also have the same problem with it not installing. Everything has to be stock and not modified for updates to install.

So if I remove Bionic bootstrap I will be able to do the update without the RSDLite method? I am not sure I want to go the RSDLite way, scares me that I might mess something up. I have done no other mods or hacks, but do have the bootstrap installed.
I guess my next question would be, if removing bionic bootstrap does not allow me to update, can I not just do a factory reset and reinstall all my apps?
Thanks for helping me out!
It appears that the package is broken. For the time being I have no way of remaking it. I hopefully soon will be able to make it again.
The other day I managed to get my hands on a UK ATRIX that was still running the official 2.3.4 rom (T-Mobile I think) so I stuck ROM Factory on it and made a fruitcake of it for your enjoyment.
As always with custom ROMs I am not responsible for anything you do to your device, you don't have to flash this if you don't want to!.
Also this is the first time I have used Rom Factory to do anything and I am completely unable to test it as the phone I made it from has an locked bootloader (does this matter?) so again flash with caution.
Features:
Rooted
No Webtop (Sorry )
Up to date Apps including super user
Here's a mirror on 4shared if anyone needs it

I would like more information about this rom. thank you
What more do you need? It's a prerooted stock UK ROM. Plain and simple.

Yup. It is exactly that. It has no unique features other than the fact that it is the stock UK ROM that went missing at the same time as all of the file sharing websites in the form of a fruitcake.
Has anyone tried it to see if it works? I still have to phone (locked bootloader & It's not mine) I made it from (though not for much longer) and can have another go!
Thanks, I'll try it when I get back home.

Personally it could be for reselling purposes, no point in selling a phone with a custom rom.

Tried this yesterday. Had CM7 latest nightly running. Did a full wipe and clean install. But unfortunately, it kept booting into CM7 (not the one I had before flashing). I anyways tried logging into my Google account and the setup wizard force closed every time I tried. Had to revert to my previous setup
Not sure if I did anything wrong, I know the usual drill of installing custom ROMs.
Did anyone else give a try?

Very odd issue... Is it because the device I made it from has a locked bootloader? You say that the rom didn't flash (or did but not properly) what did the install script in CWM say?
Sorry I don't have the device any longer so I won't be able to do anything with re making the fruitcake :crying: as I have had to give it back.
PS I have sent you a PM with the original rom link in it, may be that the one on the mirror is corrupted.
Hey bro

The script said that the flash was successful. Also it said that I should not forget to wipe cache and data, which I did anyways. No errors in the install script.
Not sure if the zip had the original ROM, coz it was booting into CM7, which is obviously not what you are trying to do. I did a full wipe, 3 times, so I guess there is no possibility for it to boot into my previous installation of CM7 nightly.
I saw your PM. Thanks. I will try today if I get some time off work and let you know.

The zip is 200MB this would make you think that it includes the stuff. I have just extracted it an the .zip only contains the edify script for installing the rom nothing else. Derp.

I mirrored the zip on 4shared right after I downloaded it. It may have been corrupted or something, but I definitely didn't put CM7 into it

Can someone make working UK (Orange) or Europe (Retail) Fruit cake? I need it for my Atrix, which is unlocked for all carriers, rooted and with unlocked bootloader. Didn't find nowhere.
Does this ROM has Cell Broadcast?
