Problem solved bad battery so be careful and for future reference.

Sent from my JUGGED out finger flicker!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sorcerer86:
Good to hear its not the update. But any news on weather or not it holds root?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terri M:
My son was able to maintain his forever root. I had to update his phone through Stock Recovery, because for some reason the OTA process itself had failed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sorcerer86:
Mine just failed also. But if I go to stock recovery it will let me install the update then, that's what your saying. Can I just use cmrecovery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Yall think this official release is identical to the leak version?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] r0ckstar323:
They're identical, ran a MD5 check on the cheesecake one and the one Terri M posted and they match.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terri M:
I didn't use cwm recovery. I use the stock recovery. Copy the OTA file from here:

http://www.multiupload.com/0ZEN69NGO2 to the root of your sd card. Power off your phone, then press and hold the volume up AND down buttons at the same time, then press the power on button. Let go and you the screen should be the android screen with an exclamation point inside a triangle. Press and release both the volume up and down buttons to get into stock recovery. Choose apply update from sd card, use the power button to select.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KidJoe:
Doing a FC compare (via windows command prompt) that is the same as the 5.5.893 I downloaded a while back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] justin94:
Break root?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] omnia38:
Not for me. I downloaded the one from here and followed the instructions. I still have my root access.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wichita6:
For some reason the leaked version broke my 43v3R root. I ran 43v3R root and got the success and rebooted then installed the leak and now no root.

Is there a way to root now? I tried pete's root tool but it failed on step3.(adding su, superuser.apk, busybox):(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Powell730:
Can I run this update using a theory ROM or do I have to be stock?

Also, does it format user data?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Stock. And I do not believe it formats data - let me check.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

OK, checked the updater-script file - no mention of /data anywhere, and it only mounts three partitions - /system /preinstall and /webtop.

I'm guessing that it does not - plus, I've not heard of anyone saying that it does, so....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Try 43v3R root again. I had that issue on mine but got root back.. It should work. This was with the leaked...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Powell730:
Ok thanks.. Should I just use forever root to format back to stock? or is there a stock ROM I can flash?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KidJoe:
needs to be stock... I had put a newer blurcamera.apk on, and the update failed because of it... I had to put the stock 5.5.886 camera back to install it.

No, it does not format data.

And it kept root for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Powell730:
thanks for the info, should i just use forever root to format back to stock or is there a rom out there that i can flash that puts me back to stock?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sorcerer86:
I used the webtop hack. That's why mine will not install. :-(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
im a little confused:confused: i have read that people have checked the md5 on the leaked 5.893 and the ota and they say they match. i have seen screen shots of both and there are different baseband version numbers. so how can the md5's match if they have different basebands?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
yes. use 43v3r to go back to stock and to have root. should be rooted again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rexboe:
Just installed went great no problems. Have forever root on my phone and keep root. Just got done installing so I don't know if it fixes any issues but it did install ok.

Edit camera seems faster.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Rex. Can you post a pic of the about phone from system version down to build number please
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rexboe:
Here is picture of about phone
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
All is the same from the leaked version except for the build number... Thx rex
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KidJoe:
when I installed 5.5.893, it didn't like the fact that I changed my blurcamera.apk to a newer one.. The initial update attempt failed because of that (it stated that it couldn't verify blurcamera.apk). After putting the stock one back, the update went without a hitch. I kept root (i had manually did P3's forever root steps previously).

When I first turned the phone on, I got wifi signal, and didnt' see the 3G or 4G indicator like I had in the past. Turning Wifi off, I got just bars, and waited. I didn't see 3G or 4G light up, So I decided to turn the phone off. As it was turning it off, I saw the 3G icon come on. When I turned it back on (wifi off), I have not received the 3G or 4G icon, just bars. About shows -66db CDMA-eHRPD network type.

I tried forcing to 3G, still no change.

After 5 minutes, nothing but BARS, and CDMA eHRPD signal I decided to toggle Airplane mode. After toggling Airplane mode, I finally got 3G signal!

This isn't a good start.

EDIT: after getting 3G signal by toggling airplane mode, subsequent reboots have picked up 3G signal, but it still seems to first grab it a little slower than the TB. I have some work to do (there is a Data room shut down at AZ Montreal, so I have to be available in case the BES doesn't talk to those exchange servers when they come back up), but then will be going out shopping... So I'll be able to test 3G <-> 4G hand offs, and how it holds signal.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
It will do that on occassion.. I have my data setup to only use 3g. Sometimes when I turn it off, and then go back to turn it on later it won't turn on.. Usually I just turn it back off, turn wifi on, or bluetooth on and then I turn data back on and turn the others back off and it'll turn on. If I leave it on I have never had an issue with it just dropping data for no reason.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Yeah, since this is the exact same file as the originally leaked 5.5.893 update, pulling the updater script will tell you exactly which files are checked prior to patching (and the list is very long).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] davzava:
Has anyone else received the ota?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
I haven't. I keep making my phone check every hour. Have been doing that since I saw update went out last night at midnight. Nothing yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
It's a limited engagement. Not everyone is going to get it at the same time.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
If you have any of the leaked versions you will not receive it either..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] twinkyz1979:
Also if running any of the leaked versions you can't go back to stock in order to flash it even if you download it from the link in here.

I tried and it failed like the 5.8.894 did for me. So in other words they are showing no love at all for the people who took the shortcuts. i was supposed to be part of the soak test by motorola and didn't even get that like i was supposed to.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrkdly:
official ota 5.5.893

I received the official 5.5.893 and lost root & cannot get my phone to re-root what so ever???
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Sure you can - just don't bother with Pete's.

Use R34l3s3d Root or else the fully manual method. You might have to try twice, some users are saying it did not stick the first time.

Also, be sure your phone has already rebooted at least 3 times after hte update applied.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigeddthemonk:
Don't really see the issue with leaked users, like myself, being "left out". The md5 sums have already been reported to be exact same as 5.5.893 leak so people like me with 5.8.893 already have a future ota , assuming they'll keep this trend.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neckbonest:
ya but you are running 5.8.894 not 893. it may or may not be a problem in the future. i am also in the same boat as you
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Not really. The next update to 894 should be the ICS release.

I'm on 5.7.893, so I can't go anywhere until an open 894 update is released, or I get a hold of the ICS release, one....lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
So I finally got the update, I try to apply it and it fails. Calling out blurcamera.apk. I have never once modified the stock camera app. WtF? Can anyone extract the stock camera app and email it to me at JCIAMPI at GMAIL dot Com. It would be highly appreciated. Or if you can just point me to a system dump somewhere.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
Fixed it. Needed to download a system dump to the phone and replace gallery, Music, and systemUI too.

For the record, though I knew no good would come from it but I was impatient and didn't want to wait til I got home from work, replacing your SystemUI file will cause a force close you can't get out of unless you battery pull. LoL then as soon as I booted no Widgets would load, so I went into root explorer and made the permissions proper ffor it. So it can be done, just not wise to copy/replace that file. After the permission change all Widgets loaded fine.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigv5150:
.

OK I got the update unfroze bloat and had 4ever root. Update went smooth however root is gone I am stock not the leaked .893. Will R34l3s3d Root reroot my phone I tried it last night but it failed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cyberplague:
Can someone please posted the stock DockService and PortalApp apks. I did the webtop mod and so the update won't let me install it.

Much appreciated!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] twistedlim:
It may be a painful and bothersome method but the one I used got me back to root in 593 OTA. I also tried all the one click methods and none worked. I spent a few hours trying to figure it out this morning and was able to put together a method that worked for me from a number of posts on various forums. I can take no credit for the methods, just try and fail method. You will wipe all your data so make sure you back everything up in tibu.

Open this page.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7801-roo...v10-linuxwindows-get-root-after-893-ota-oops/

-Download R313AS3dRoot zip file

-Extact files to a folder, open folder

-Right click on E3L3AS3DRoot.bat file and click on edit.

-Scroll down to the line "Echo* Installing su, busybox, and superuser" hit enter and add the following to the line below:

adb wait-for-device

adb wait-for-device

Save the file as edited, and run that file: E3L3AS3DRoot.bat

A. I had to run option option 1, and it wiped my phone and installed 886 stock to the phone.

Wait for the phone to totally reboot.

B. Your phone will be totally wiped so you will have to make sure you are on usb charge and also make sure usb debugging is enabled. Both of these will most likely be wiped when you flash part one.

Once you are booted up and you have made the changes to usb charge and enabled debugging you can go to the second part of the prompt to root and 4ever root you phone.

C. It will prompt "Ready to root when you are"

"press any key to continue"

The program will then root your phone and 4ever root.

D. When this is done you will have to go to settings/about phone/check for updates and reinstall the 893 update. You should have a 4 ever rooted update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bigeddthemonk:
Ah, I see the issue now, if one of the upcoming baseband.ect is deferent we wont be able to backtrack to it, i was only thinking in terms of system. Still tho, im confident we wont be left out of anything important, it seems doubtable(to me) that they would backtrack to a previous version to improve it before release. Id imagine, if anything, they'd release a version above 5.8.894 if there were to be anything new.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
Forever Rooted, just installed the update. Still have root, and no longer have an annoying hiss in the headphone port. I've never cheesecaked, though, so that might explain the smoothness.

That said, I did have some troubles. My update kept failing, and checking the file in /cache/recovery/ told me there was a mismatch between my dnsmasq file and the one it wanted (likely because I'd used SetDNS). So, I had to grab dnsmasq out of an old nandroid. But once I did that, it worked like a charm using the normal install method.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cixelsyddyslexic:
Is anyone using Safestrap and do you know anything about how to apply this update with Safestrap installed? I understand it disables flashing to the non-safe system altogether, but I'd like the radio/kernel updates from this one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dB Zac:
you will most likely have to uninstall safestrap. you can try to install without removing safe strap but use the stock recovery either way
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cixelsyddyslexic:
It's complaining about the checksum of my Swype.apk, since I have the beta installed... sigh... Anyone have an apk of the stock version?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Inous:
I SBF'd back to stock 5.5.886, 43v3r rooted and then attempted the update and it failed.... What gives?

I haven't frozen or done anything so I am a little confused as to why I can't update...

Any ideas?

This time I caught the Error:

assert failed: apply_patch_check"MTD:boot:8388608:a3dc.......(bun ch of random letter and numbers)")

E:Error in /cache/Blur_Version.5.5.886XT675.Verizon.en.US.zip

(status 7)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Yup, I planned for this over at AF and made this post:

http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-bionic/411595-attn-swype-lovers.html#post3416243

You said you SBFd (and it's not an SBF, it's an FXZ now) back to 5.5.886 from what?

If you tried to revert from 5.7.893, you didn't, not really.

Check your about phone and compare it with the values listed for the true stock 5.5.886 here: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-bionic/438060-bionic-reference-terms-links.html#post3398984 - and see if everything matches up - b/c I'm betting that your kernel is different than the 5.5.886 kernel....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Inous:
Thanks for the fast reply. I Used 43v3R to restore then root. I assumed that's nearly the same thing, is it not?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
No method can revert the kernel from 5.7.893 currently. the bootloader will not allow it. Everything else can be reverted, but not that. And the update checked everything, including the kernel.

That's why I said compare your about phone scree not the values in that post.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Inous:
Oh wow thanks for the link it turns out I have the kernel and base band from the leaked .893. So what do I do from here?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Which .893? I'm betting 5.7.893 - because the OTA is 5.5.893...and there was an interim leaked 5.6.893 as well, that broke webtop.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Inous:
Yea I have the base band and kernel from 5.7.893 but I have the build number and system version of .886

At this point since I cant update to official ota how can I get to the leaked .893 cause when I try to update to that I get an error

E: /tmp/sideload/package

Or something to that effect
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
You can't.

Your kernel is stopping everything right now, and until someone updates something like R3L34S3D root for 5.7.893 you can't do a lot b/c all the leaked updates perform that check on the kernel. Right now, you're pretty stuck where you are, until I find out where someone has the rest of the system files for the 5.7.893 so you can get back on a fully 5.7.893 system....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Inous:
Oh wow...that sucks... Hope that happens sometime in the near future. Getting extremely tired of the 3g / 4g data drop out, having to restart my phone daily is annoying.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tmwes:
On a related note; it was only one day, but after the update my Bionic was finally making seamless transitions from one data type to another.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tmwes:
Spoke too soon. No data for 3/4 of my commute this morning (hour drive).

I've had it with this phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Inous:
I wish I had waited for the galaxy nexus.

Are you updated to the official ota and still getting data drop?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ex-goetsch:
I updated to OTA yesterday. This morning, had to cycle airplane mode a few times to get data connection. Great update...

I did keep root though after applying forever root and am now running Kin3tx. Seems like the phone gets hotter than it used to. The only change is the OTA.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mdraeger:
Today I wanted to use skype (the newest version) on my flyer with videochat, I recently upgraded my flyer (BB version) to honeycomb and didnt use skype since then.

Well i know that skype was working completely on Gingerbread, but when i tried videochat today, the camera lighted up (the small green led besides it) and voice and everything worked, however i was not able to get a picture of my camera.

Does anybody have skype working with the flyer and the release version of honeycomb?

Or does anyone know whats causing the problem?

Best regards

Marius
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I have the BB Wifi Flyer and Skype works perfectly including both cameras, for me on HC offical release, rooted.

What version HC are you using?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mdraeger:
The standard stock release version that globatron posted in his thread. So its the official HTC release with root.

Ill try wiping the skype data and see if it works then. Its really weird, can't use either of the cameras it just gives me a black screen nothing else
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mdraeger:
Ok I got it fixed, I just wiped the data reinstalled skype and now it works ... weird.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gtd2000:
Has anybody managed to get Skype to work with a bluetooth headset and mic?

I can pair and use my BT headset for listening to media files and can make a Skype test call but the audio bounces back to the speakers after the first word..?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Skype has some weirdness with Bluetooth on many devices and since the phone functions for Flyers are not yet working in HC, the Bluetooth profiles may not be fully functional as well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gtd2000:
I've found another problem with Skype on the Flyer.

Audio during a call is only mono.

This is true for both a wired headset and the speakers....

Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gamefreakgcb:
The Audio from the other called? Isn't it coming through a single mic? How could it be stereo?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gtd2000:
What I should have said was that audio only comes thru on one channel. The left side only when using the speakers, earphones or a headset w/Mic.

When I use Skype on my android phone it comes through on both channels, same with the pc too.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The audio routing and libraries are a god awful mess in linux and therefore android. Who knows if its a Skype problem or a htc or a HC problem. At least it works, even this is a miracle in Android audio
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gtd2000:
I think it must be an HTC problem. I called tech support and they gave the standard answer that it might be resolved in a future update...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xylidine99:
i have a lag on my front camera anyone else experience this with the hc upgrade? i tried wiping skype and reinstalling but its not helping...any fix for this??
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mpiftex:
I am experiencing the same lag on my View (running stock HC). The lag appears on both front and back cameras. I've tested the front cam video with Google Video Chat and it works much better.

Can someone else please let us know how SKype video is working on their View/Flyer, on official HC, GB or other ROM?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gtd2000:
I use stock GB and all appears to be fine - other than the sound only coming through on one channel (left side).

Are any of you guys getting sound on left and right channels during a call?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Stock HC , rooted, it just works. Just installed and both front and back cameras work fine.

[Galaxy S II General] coincoinlapin:
Here's a short post to tell y'all that I believe I have found the perfect phone. Its name is the Galaxy S II...

I've owned it since the first day my French carrier released it in June.

Like all of us, I've tweaked it in any conceivable way and tried quite a few exotic things (including pre-pre alpha ics builds) and now, I feel I don't really need to tweak it anymore because my combo feels just about perfect:

Revolution Rom 4 + Siyah kernel 2.4.2 + newly updated adw launcher ex with neon theme.

Fast, reliable, perfect.

Thank you for your attention. You may resume normal activity.
[Galaxy S II General] mp1806:
samsung galaxy s2=perfect phone
[Galaxy S II General] scorpion667:
Same setup here, it's extremely snappy. I prefer Launcher Pro I find it smoother, but yeah that's a great setup.

Make sure you get the second version of 2.4.2 which includes sched_mc=1 which saves battery, I find it smoother too.

http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
[Galaxy S II General] MagicMan3:
I've only had mine a couple weeks but love it. Fast and smooth with a fantastic screen.
[Galaxy S II General] Razer(x):
Nothing is perfect.
[Galaxy S II General] xsaintzx:
Agree that no phone is perfect. You should say this is the best phone you have ever used instead. I was going to try same setup as you do and now I'm convinced.
[Galaxy S II General] iFalcon:
It would be great IF it had a better audio chip. That is my only knock against it. The music quality is very poor even with my good earbuds. Bummer...
[Galaxy S II General] Kailkti:
The perfect phone is one that elates me to planes equivalent to where vegetable matter would take me. Other than that, the sgs 2 is close.
[Galaxy S II General] marcadam:
Nothing is perfect but some things are closer to perfection than others, the sgs2 being one of them.
[Galaxy S II General] dikime:
Yeah, I feel the same way. Just can't find anything more to tweak it, until ICS comes out.

Might get so bored that I get an iPhone 4S... nah, no way :D
[Galaxy S II General] spoiltz:
SII is not perfect, but close enough.

I have an iphone 4, but still s2 rocks!!!
[Galaxy S II General] maddada:
did u guys try MiUi by any chance ????????? its just awsome.

after i flashed miui i can't think of another way to make this phone even more perfect (except flashing miui 4.0 which is coming soon)
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
The perfect ultimate phone will have a feature that allows you to have 2 SIM cards which simultaneously work, this will probably be a long time coming but im sure it will happen, how cool would it be to have just 1 phone (i have 2 mobiles a SGSII and a Samsung Tocco - 1 Irish SIM and 1 UK SIM) where you can make a receive calls and use all the features, or just switch one off and have the other one on,etc,etc i do know there are dual SIM adapters but as far as im aware this doesn't allow you to have both SIM cards on at the same time you need to switch from one to the next.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 PM ----------

MIUI ROM's for me is more style over substance, im not saying it's not good but there are far better ROM's out there.
[Galaxy S II General] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
It's not even perfect yet. ICS has yet to come out both unofficially and officially.

Still, the audio chip is still ****. No big deal anyway, I've learned to bear with it.
