Somehow I think you were on 5.5.959 and were able to get this on your phone?

Can you try restoring to the other SBF?
[Motorola Droid 3] wattnxt:
Has anyone made an updated 1% battery increment mod for this build?

I only ask this because:

1) It's really nice to have, now that I have become used to it.

2) I would also like to flash the Honeycomb Battery Icons from UOT like I have now. It's just so much cleaner that way.

Other than that, I like the updates. Sleep isn't that big of a deal-breaker for me, but not having battery percentage without adding another app in the notification bar is a deal-breaker.

I know, I know....small potatos....to some, but I use my phone for work all day and need to know if I need to stop by the charger or can make it through the next meeting without a top-off.

On another side-note...Anyone notice how the Razr adds are touting the Razr throttles down CPU speed when in-call?? Hmmmmm, I wonder where Moto got that idea? Devs? Naaah, couldn't be...lol. :rolleyes:

Flashing back to 5.6.890 is simple and painless. And really, if you don't do a factory wipe, you can keep all your data and settings just fine. Not a very long process at all. But you have to be comfortable with it.

I have flashed back and forth at least 20 times in the last few weeks.

I do know that the 1% battery mod, at least the one I have downloaded currently, will NOT work as this is an odexed factory ROM....consider yourself warned.

Also, do NOT try to flash any old themes from UOT that you cooked before the update. This will cause a fountain of Force Close windows that either require a battery pull or adb in to reboot and stop the madness.

DEODEXED version of this anyone? I would like to keep the baseband update, as suspected, the updated baseband now WORKS with my office cell repeater. The 5.6.890 baseband (N_03.18.29P) overpowers most repeaters and causes them to freak out. Read as, doesn't work properly and won't help your signal once you start using data or are in a call.

Thanks in advance. Thanks for the OP link Hash!!
[Motorola Droid 3] KrInEn:
I got it. Flashed through RSDlite and it booted. Tried to reflash again though and had the same outcome :(
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Use the quick unbrick method that's around here somewhere (Fastboot and then the downloaded .bat file) to restore box stock .890. Then boot into Android stock recovery (Power + x, then down + up), and flash it through stock recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] wattnxt:
Anyone working on a DEODEX of this update?

Anyone want to give me a couple pointers on doing it? I'd be happy to give it a go and test on my device first....

PM me if you have experience with DEODEXING OTAs like this and have pointers/tips and I'll get on this in the next day or so.

Thanks in advance.

Is this CWM Flashable after stock OTA Leak update? Or is it Safe-strap flash?
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Its just a deodexed version of the original system that Hashcode made available before he made the full update available so yeah it works pre and post ota. I flashed it awhile back in cwm but haven't tried it with safestrap although I don't see why it wouldn't work with it.

Edit - I just tried it with safestrap enabled and it worked fine :)
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
Bluetooth Issues?

Has anyone done any testing with BT car speakers? I am able to use my car speaker on the initial call, but any subsequent call does not get picked up by the car speaker, even though my phone is connected to it via BT. I literally have to reboot the phone in order for the next call to be picked up.

I am going to revert back to 890 to see if this issue is present in that release. BTW I am using a Moto Roadster in my car. You would think it would work perfectly with a Moto phone!
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I had this issue too. It has to do with backing up and not being able to restore su-backup from the root of the phone. Remove the backup once you've rooted 5.7, make your Nandroid, then reboot and re-protect root if you want, but you'll already have a rooted Nandroid.
[Motorola Droid 3] gkitab:
That's correct I just figured that out today and made a new backup. After deleting old backups that I couldn't restore.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
When I try flashing this through stock recovery over freshly quick SBF'd (from that around here somewhere) 5.6.890, I get an error after Flashing BP. It says something about 'E: error "I forget and don't want to replicate it where I can't SBF" Status 7' and the flash of this leak fails.
[Motorola Droid 3] gkitab:
You need to rename it to update.zip prior to flashing. Did you do that?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
renaming the file caused mine to fail really quick. after sbf, root, otarootkeeper, copied to internal and updated fine
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Time to try this. Updates to come...

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory) WTF? I don't have an internal SD card somehow, despite having an int. SD that I use?
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Let me ask this, as a kind of off topic question… If I flash this OTA without a rootkeeper of some kind, I'll lose root right? The reason I ask, is because my D3 headphone jack isn't working, and I need to replace it. If I flash the OTA, I'll be back to a stock, non-rooted system, and I'll be good to go, correct? I've never had to replace an Android device yet, that's why I'm asking. Thatnks in advance guys. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
You could say that, but i dont know what testing phase this ota is on, or if the anyone outside the moto dev team is supposed to have it

[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
Is there a way to sbf to before 890 then install the 890 update though the phone. That would be perfect for you to do.
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
The stock rom sbf exists, its somewhere in the development threads, then the phone will download the ota after you restore

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Sorry to go offtopic but verkerria your signature is really irritating I keep reading it :D
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Should I change the file name to update.zip since it's not working with the file name it downloaded with? Also, internal or external SD? Which does stock recovery read? I believe it's internal. I already did this once, but had to get a replacement device and now it's not working. I'd like to get the new kernel and baseband.
[Motorola Droid 3] joeyx2:
When I downloaded I renamed the 5.6.890 to 5.7.894, put on sd card and when I sbf.ed to 890 a message came up saying an update was available for my phone from sd card and asked if I wanted to install it Blur_Version.5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US.zip to Blur_Version.5.7.894.XT862.Verizon.en.US.zip
[Motorola Droid 3] MrJudylicious:
make sure youre using OTArootkeeper!
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Interesting. :) I understand the renaming part but...

Could you give me more details? Quick unbrick or RSD Lite? Just SBF then it pops up? what happens between the successful SBF and the message pop up?

Thanks!

EDIT: This just got very interesting! I rebooted my phone after applying the INIT.D tweak and got a notification.

EDIT 2: I've re-downloaded it a few times and each time it picks it up from the int. SD, it gets stuck at the Dual Core screen and must be SBF'd. I've both used the pop up screen and the stock recovery to flash it.

Fresh SBF

Hit check for updates or w/e is at the top of "About Phone"

What scares me is "some flavour" in all that text. What am I doing wrong this second time?
[Motorola Droid 3] {davros}:

[Motorola Droid 3] Adam.h.ogle:
FYI, this update doesn't appear on any of the Moto dev/qa/staging servers anymore.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I couldnt get it when I last checked, I only picked up a 5.6.999 update that temporarily bricked my phone.

Yeah, don't ever install one of those. I have installed three different ones and bricked my phone each time :-p

[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Actually that's supposed to happen. Go back through the same steps, and once you get to the exclamation point inside a triangle, push both volume buttons simultaneously. Select "install update from sd card", select the file and it will install.

Hi i'm a noob here and i would like if someone can make noobs guide to install this update or if already exist one, link me to it (i searched but i dont found anything). Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Hello,

It isn't a complicated process. Assuming you have already downloaded the file, place the file on your SD Card..

Then,

1. Power the phone off.

2. Press the Power button and the X Button on the physical keyboard and hold both simultaneously.

3. Let go once you reach the screen with the exclamation mark inside a triangle, hold both volume keys simultaneously.

4. Select "apply update from sdcard"

5. Select the file by using the volume keys and click the power button to confirm.

6. Let the install complete, and reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] rblanca:
Thanks man just only last question is there any way to backup my current version for later use if this new version don't break something?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Download and install the D3 Bootstrapper.

Boot into recovery either from the app or Power+M and the BP tools (scroll down with vol down, select with vol up).

Create a backup.

Reboot and get OTA Root Keeper from the Market.

Protect root.

Power off and restart with Power+X.

Once you get the ! triangle, press both volume buttons.

Install update (or is it .zip, whatever) from SD.

Select file and it should go.

If it fails, boot with Power+M, go into AP Fastboot mode, and use the quick unbrick method to get back on 5.6.

It was doing it a lot when i first got the phone, got it replaced, found out about the imported wifi setting issue, changed that. It was fine for a few weeks & now it's back. I rooted it & applied the Speedy Script thinking that it might help with battery life & reboots, but it hasn't changed one bit. I'm running stockish 5.6.890 btw. Just the one script was added.

[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Can someone help me out here? I have SBF'd back to stock with the Quick Unbrick method, rooted, backed up root, booted into stock recovery, and it fails. I get all the way through to Updating BP... when it hits an error reading

assert failed: motorola.motoflash("/imp/bp.img")

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

From what I found on Google, this could mean that something was up with having a non-stock recovery installed. I didn't at the time, but I thought that there might be something lingering from before the SBF when I had Bootstrap and both Safestraps installed (none at the same time though!). I reinstalled each one individually and used it's "Uninstall Recovery" feature, but Koush's Bootstrap didn't have this so I think it may be the culprit. I'm going to try an RSD Lite SBF here now.

EDIT: Ok, so RSD didn't help solve anything here. Ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
What rom did you flash with RSD?

Droid 1 Rooted (ChevyNo1 0.9MV Kernel, LGB2.6)

Droid 3 Rooted (Hashcode gave me some Ice Cream)
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Bone stock 5.6.890.

I'll write up a full list of what I did to help zero in on what may be causing this.

1) Nandroid backup

2) Quick Unbrick SBF

3) Root

4) Protect root

5) Boot into stock recovery and it failed

6) Steps 2-5 again

7) Factory reset with stock recovery...it failed again.

8) RSD Lite SBF

9) Root and protect it

10) Install each recovery individually and remove its recovery through the app.

11) Boot into stock recovery, wipe data, and it failed again.

I'm puzzled. :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] zzandrewst:
Help Please!

Ok, I was running CM 9 ICS Alpha 5 for Droid 3 and was going to update to the OTA 5.7.894. I probably completely did the wrong thing, but I downloaded RSD Lite from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255198

downloaded the sbf zip file from here because the original link is broken:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19860854&postcount=200

Extracted the contents of the SBF file to a folder on my computer

Installed RSDLite

Booted the Droid 3 into bootloader by holding both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time when powering the phone on

Select "AP Fastboot" and press Vol+ to select it

Select the XML from the extracted SBF file in RSDLite

Connect the phone, and when it says "Connected", hit "Start"

It run through fine and then restarted to a setup screen and then had a whole lot of Force closes, lots of apps that were previously on my phone. Then it kept force closing the com.android.phone over and over again. I have my previously installed icons etc... on the screen and everything behind all of the force closes. What do I do to fix this? Did I do something wrong and what steps do I take after this to upgrade to 5.7.894? Thanks!

EDIT: I fixed my problem by using One Click SBF rar file by psouza4
[Motorola Droid 3] daimerion:
I had similar issues. It booted up to what looked like my normal rom. RSD said it was rebooting even though it was already booted so I turned the phone off and booted back into AP Fastboot and once there RSD finished and then booted my phone fine.

So could ya catch me up? Ill try to help you.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Here it all is. Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
So you FXZ file flashed back to 5.6.890 and it won't update to 5.7.894 with or without even a factory reset?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Correct. I've reflashed the phone's software with the quick unbrick method as well as with RSD Lite. I can wipe data and factory reset with stock recovery, but nothing will enable it to update to 5.7.894.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Have you looked to see if Clockworkmod Recovery is still installed? I've never seen a failed update like this before.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Ok actually I have another idea. It looks like from finding your first post the bp.img is the baseband that connects to the network, so if you try flashing 5.6.890 through RSD Lite 5.5 but charge your phone, and attempt at re-flashing through RSD.

Once it starts don't touch the phone and leave it connected to the computer while it moves with the droid animation. If it bootloops factory reset and boot up, get to the home screen and attempt to install the update again.

From your first post it looks like a bad BP flash.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
How else can I remove it? I've individually installed each version of safe strap and removed its recovery from within the app, and done the same for Hash's bootstrapper, but haven't been able to remove Koush's bootstrapper because there is no uninstall from within the app. I thought this may have been the culprit. Any ideas how to remove it?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I really dont know of any way to remove CWM without FXZ flashing the software back on the phone.

Unless you get the one im sending back to VZW, it knows how to remove CWM and block its own BP tools by itself haha. Im not kidding.

Try FXZ flashing back to 5.6.890, boot into stock recovery, wipe data and then install the update. Maybe it will go then, if not I really don't see another motive to continue troubleshooting and ya may as well just call VZW.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
IIRC there are 2 files that need to be removed: hijack and logwrapper and logwrapper.bin needs to have the extension removed. I believe. Perhaps someone can confirm before you go ahead. Also cannot for the life of me remember where these files are located. Sorry
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Is there a FXZ file for the D3? I feel like there's remnants of a boot strapper lingering somewhere on this phone.

[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I've tried this method before...many times. This is what I've referred to before as the quick unbrick method. I've used this script to flash the phone as well as RSD Lite and a .xml file with all the supporting files to flash the phone. Neither enables me to update to 5.7.894 with stock recovery. I've DL'd the 5.7.894 file many times, ruling out a bad DL. I feel there's still some remnants of a boot strapper (Koush's tweaked one is my suspect) still lingering somewhere on the phone that remains untouched by either stock software flasher.

I'll try it again for 'shiggles tomorrow. In the past, I've SBF'd with both RSD and the script, booted right into stock recovery after it completed, and hit the error screen. Maybe I'll make a video tomorrow. I'm a visual person. :cool:

Finally made the video.

Is there a way I could push just the baseband and radio? Those are what I want most.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
The BP is the baseband, it failing right there is not a safe area for it to fail. Try this:

FXZ Flash to 5.6.890

DO NOT ROOT

Apply the update.

-- Let me know if it goes through cause other than that I think you have no other choice but to have VZW send ya another phone. Just dont tell them your trying to install a leaked software version, they would probably say no to that.

But I just posted a new OTA Leak, maybe ya could try it and see if it fails with the BP as well?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I considered the new leak, but when it (5.7.894) fails to flash, I have to FXZ back to stock 5.6.890, and I don't know if that will work over failed 5.7.902. And a bricked, rooted phone would make getting a new phone tough.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
It won't make it tough. Try the 5.7.902 and see if it installs it has much better camera stability and it runs much smoother. It's also rootable now as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
But if it fails at BP Flash, I'm bricked. It's what happens when 5.7.894 fails. I can't FXZ (SBF) to 5.6.890 from 5.7.902. Thus, I'm stuck with a brick. I can't exactly return a bricked D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Ok so you actually can, they wont care they never have for me and ive sent back 2 bricked phones before.

FXZ back to 890, then update to 5.7.902, and see if it fails at the BP. If it does, then yea then you have a completely screwed D3.

If I were you I would just call VZW and have them send you a warranty replacement. You will get a new D3 as the past 3 D3 replacements ive had have been brand new.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
How can I explain a brick though? It just won't power on? I'd rather not go without a phone for a few days. I've received 2 or 3 replacements, all refurbs. Maybe I'll say it won't power on, then update the new one, and flash to brick the old one to send back...idk! Could I use ADB to push an old baseband if it fails?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Well do ya have another phone for backup? The replacements they are sending out now are brand new haha.

Say it wont power on, but keep the battery out, and if they ask if its in, tell them its in, and just find a way to turn down each troubleshooting attempt.

I doubt you can use ADB to flash a new baseband to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettlecorn:
When you install from SDCARD to flash whatever (Custom Rom, Kernel, etc.) does it have to be an actual SDCARD on the dock or is it in reference to the "Sdcard" internal memory (16gb, 32gb) that is built-in storage for the Transformer?

EDIT: i mean micro sdcard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atarifreak:
that depends on what you whant to do.
