busybox
I had to install busybox to /system/bin for it to work for me. I had it installed in /system/xbin before when it didn't work.
Downloaded, installed and backed up without a hitch.
Sweet.....
I installed and ran a backup went fine except it said "no sd ext card found or skip was chosen external sd not backed up" any idea why it would do that when I can see me sd ext in root manager

Sdcard-ext in recovery is in reference to a partitioned sdcard with A2SD.
If you think about it, it would be pointless to backup your sdcard TO your sdcard

True that... Thanks
I previously had a fascinate and enjoyed applying custom roms and kernels etc. I have a droid 3 now and would like to work on modifying it also but the jargon is different, ie bootstrap. I am rooted. What do I do next or is there a tutorial that's simple. I also would like to update but am not sure how to get the new one. Thx.

The bootstrap posted in this thread does not flash all partitions and has been replaced with an "official" clockwork mod version.
Droid 3 has a locked bootloader, meaning we can't permanently flash a custom recovery. In order to flash files and custom roms, we must bootstrap/hijack the recovery. Download Koush's Droid 3 Bootstrap, available in market for donation cost or for free via his blog. Anytime you want to boot into recovery you will need to open this app, click Bootstrap Recovery, then click Reboot Recovery. You will still need Rom Manager to flash the recovery.
1. Download Rom Manager and Droid3 Bootstrap
2. Install Clockwork Mod Recovery with Rom Manager
3. Open D3 Bootstrap and select Bootstrap Recovery, followed by Reboot Recovery
4. You should now be greeted by the familiar Clockwork Mod interface.

Works perfectly.
I put took an init.d script from the Darky ROM and included it in this CWM update along with the zipalign tool. The script will run at boot and zipalign all apps, both system and user. As always I am not responsible for any bad stuff that might happen as a result of flashing this update...you know the drill, so please have a nandroid restore available in case something goes wrong.
What is the benefit of doing this every boot up?

It is smart and will not re-zipalign, it tracks what has been already been zipaligned. If you install new apps it will make sure they too are zipaligned. Any time you want to make sure that everything, even updated apps are zipaligned you can delete /data/zipalign.db and it will recheck everything. That file is where it tracks what has already been zipaligned.
StarBust uses this same script if I am not mistaken.
thanks for this mod. on a oc 1.4 rom, score was 2600, now 2900, hope it is not my fantancy... hehe.

This is great thank you. I imagine devs will begin to build this into thier ROM's shortly.
How can I apply this? Is this for P7500?
I just applied it on my 7500. It's a flashable cwm file as stated in op.
Just flash it from recovery that is.

Install busybox from market first. I installed Busybox installer by JRummy16. The one from Stephen did not work on my device?
Flash the zip from cwm and then reboot. Check in /data if you have zipalign.db and zialign.log then the script has run.
Note that if you are running a custom rom it's probably already zipalign.

so where did my notification bar disappear ?
take a look at the zipalign log in /data lets see if there was sole sort of error in the script execution
i restored the backup, so forget it
Can i run this on already zipaligned rom to align my downloaded apps?
Or does it break something on a already zipalign rom?
Or is it bad in some other way?

which ROM? Most that I have inspected are running the same script at boot.

I will take a look at his ROM. I suspect that he has init.d support implemented differently than I did and that this is causing the init.d scripts to be run twice. What files do you see in /system/etc/init.d?
Update: So I checked his ROM...this is already part of his ROM, so no need to flash this MOD on top of Task's ROM.
Hello!
I'm back with another update.
The 5.7.906 update does include a kernel, BP and bootloader update just like 5.7.902 and 5.7.905.
The 5.7.906 update IS ROOTABLE using the exploit below.

**OTA ROOTKEEPERS DO NOT WORK, PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION**
THERE IS NO WAY BACK TO STOCK.
AFTER SEEING REPEATED PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FLASH THIS UPDATE WHILE ON A STOCK 5.6.890 OR OTHER UPDATE.
DO NOT FLASH OVER AN ICS ROM OR ANY ROM. IF YOU HAVE PERFORMED THE TBH DROID 3 RADIO HACK YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO NOT INSTALL ANY LEAKS.
5.7.906 Download Link: http://dev-host.org/uEA
NOTE: If coming from 5.7.902 or 5.7.905, the kernel will not update. The kernels are the same in all three updates.

I doubt it. You could try re-flashing the update but that has never worked for me.
You can reflash this update as well as the prior 5.7.902 and 5.7.905 because none of them assert anything except cdma_solana in the updater-script. They are designed, apparently, to flash over anything and bring it up to this build. They also contain full systems, which is why they break OTA root keepers because they replace everything in /system.
I have not flashed this one yet, but it appears to be like the other two leaks in that regard.

Lol I haven't gone much for looking over the update just yet, all ive noticed is a BP update at first glance.
I'd like to know why these particular 3 updates all have new systems, and they all have very close versions and build numbers.
Maybe Motorola is onto us.

yeah. just 2 days ago. i have 905 with MavRom. Installed with cwm recovery. (On safe system..)

Since 906 is rootable, and you have applied the 905 update, I would just take the plunge to 906.
It will unroot the phone, but the 906 is rootable, so backup your rom with safestrap first.
Download the update, put it on your sdcard, boot into recovery and install the update.
I have maverick rom installed, so when i tried to install 906 it does not work... i believe i have to return to 905 stock. And i have maverick rom installed with cwm recovery..on safe system.

You have to install it in stock recovery; not the safestrap recovery.
Hold Power and the Hard X Button until ya see the triangle with the android robot.
Hold both volume keys simultaneously and then install the update.
To those who need instructions on installing, and do not care as long as it works:
It is likely someone has a better method, but I was able to upgrade to 906 going the route provided below. Both roms will be wiped during this process but your internal and external SD's should not be affected.
1. Put the 906 update on the root of your external SD card.
2. Turn off phone.
3. Boot in Safestrap. Toggle safestrap off.
4. Reboot
5. Pull battery or shut phone down again
6. While turning on phone hold down X until you see a triangle with an ! and a droid dude.
7. Press both the up and down volume buttons at the same time until you get to the bootloader menu.
8. Wipe phone.
9. Install update from external SD card.
10. Choose 906
11. Reboot.
12. Wait awhile.
13. Use Droid 4 root exploit to get root
14. Re-install safestrap.
15. Done!
(You maybe able to restore an old Rom you have backed up on safestrap. I am not going to try it)
Is that the internal or external SD card?

thanks. i complety forgot about STOCK recovery
i will wipe data (mavrom) in stock recovery and then apply the update.
Yesterday, Verizon approved Jelly Bean for the DROID 4 as build 98.72.18, but as is typical, Motorola sent the first wave of updates out to members of their feedback network (soak testers) this morning. And since that happened, the file has been pulled and made available to everyone with the device.
We have instructions for you below, so if you do not feel like waiting for the update to be pushed to your device, feel free to jump below.
The official changelog can be found here. here
Instructions:
*These are the instructions from the RAZR HD update, but they should work for the DROID 4 as well.
*You have to be running the official Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.4) update of build 6.16.217. You also have to be completely stock.
1. Download the update file here: here
2. Drop that file on your SD card, not internal storage.
3. Turn phone off, and reboot into recovery.
*Hold both Volume Up and Down along with Power until you see the boot menu. Use Volume Down to hover over “Recovery.” Press Volume Up to select it.
*Once you see the Android and Exclamation point, press both Volume Up and Down at the same time.
4. Select “apply update from external storage.”
*Use Volume keys to highlight, Power button to select.
5. Then select the file you downloaded from above. It should already be on your SD card.
6. Watch as the update applies.
7. Once finished, choose the “reboot” option and enjoy!
DON'T FORGET TO SAY THANKS!

Like rruleford said the only way to totally wipe/flash the entire phone would be to wait for the xml fastboot files. What you COULD try is placing the JB OTA update on your external sd card, then booting into stock recovery, wiping data and cache, and then re-flashing the update manually. It should be able to flash over top of itself just fine. Not sure if it would fix anything but might be worth a shot.

yes i believe that is what is going on
Hey everyone, here is the Bionic JB Update file.
Steps for those that don't know.
1) You can be rooted an install this. Please use OTA Rootkeeper and protect root before install. It is not necessary to "temp unroot."
2) If you have SS or BS recovery installed that needs to be uninstalled. Simply open the app and click "uninstall recovery." You do not have to delete the app just remove the recovery. You can NOT install this using custom recovery as far as I know, uninstall using stock rom --> SS (or BS) app and click "uninstall recovery"
3) Download the file, then load onto the root of the external SD card.
4) Boot into stock recovery:
To get into stock recovery hold both volume keys while holding power on. Use volume down to scroll through options then volume up (or power button tap can't remember) to select. If you get red triangle don't worry, just hit both volume keys again you should get recovery menu.
5) Select update from .zip, find the Blur.....875.zip you downloaded to the root of SD card and select update from that.
6) Enjoy official JB support.
Install errors
If you get failed to install side load error 7 or similar you most likely have one of these problems.
1) Edited build.prop previously --> Fix: Get stock build prop (future reference: Always keep copies of anything you change!)
2) You are trying to install over custom recovery or on top of a stock rom but on a custom recovery partition --> Fix: Wipe partitions, reboot into stock, open SS or BS and click "uninstall custom recovery"
3) You froze or removed system apps including bloatware--> Fix: Replace stock apps or unfreeze them.
P.S. Large update it's over 300 mbs. And for those that say "it's only .246" Motorola calls the new update what you are upgrading FROM not to.

I downloaded the update unzipped it then created a folder on my SD card called SD-ext then copied the files into that folder and rebooted, but my Bionic just boots normal. Why does it not recognize the update?
I think a step is missing in the initial instructions. Would one go into stock recovery and then choose the file?
No way
