5.7.905 is still taking its time uploading to my Dropbox.

However I don't know if this update does anything to your phone because I forgot I made some mods to my test device and attempted to install 905, which bricked my phone due to the fact I forgot to undo the mods.

So once posted, its up to you guys to tell me it doesn't brick your phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
lol, um..... Ok. lol
[Motorola Droid 3] ZOMBI3:
Well you'll be uploading it without your mods then correct..........................

[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Yes im uploading the untouched update.

My primary device (not my test device) is on 5.7.905 and it doesn't brick the phone.

It's safe to install after 5.7.902 and 890 through stock recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Yeah I tried to fastboot back and had to recover the phone as well... Fastboot no workie :)
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
in order to go back you hae to flash a 5.6.890 or 7.7894 ROM then try reverting.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I wouldnt do this actually. There is no real way to get back.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZOMBI3:
Thats good then, how's the 905, so far on your device? What's the changes in about phone post it for us?

[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I just installed it so all ive seen is continued changes posted in post #2 listen under 5.7.902.

[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
This does *NOT* allow you to fastboot back to 5.6.890, it helps recover if you tried to fastboot back and failed!!!!

To recover from fastbooting back after the .905 update just goto the VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01 fastboot folder and do the following...

moto-fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin

moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader

moto-fastboot flash mbm mbm.bim

moto-fastboot reboot

The phone should boot now but you should also go back to recovery and reflash the .905 update so you have the mbm.bin from that flashed on the phone.

As long as you don't ever muck up your recovery, this update should serve as a .905 fastboot in a zip file for future recovery minus /preinstall of course.

Trying safestrap and ICS now... ICS ran fine from what I could tell on the .902 update.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZOMBI3:
So .905 is rootable

Sent From My Dark Fire DROID3
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
yeah .902 and .905 are rootable
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Please explain yourself. I don't understand how any thing on the phone would prevent the phone from being SBFed when you can access AP fastboot and use the easy-debrick
[Motorola Droid 3] ZOMBI3:
Alright, well then waiting for that .905 link then

Sent From My Dark Fire DROID3
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Yeah, seriously. Sbf is on a whole other level.
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
What is this easy-debrick you speak of?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
5.7.905 is up now!

OK, let me re-explain. I seem to think there is no way back to stock simply because I have surrounded myself around the RSD Lite method. The other methods probably do work in their own ways, but I say no way back because RSD won't do it for us.

I apologize for any confusion. A couple posts up says 905 is rootable, and it should be rootable. Again, I apologize for the confusion.

AFAIK there is no way to revert back to 5.6.890. My post just helps if someone tried to fastboot back to 5.6.890 which obviously fails and leaves your phone booting to fastboot menu :)
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
you can revert if you install the stock 5.6.890 rooted odexed ROM Hashcode has. I did it.

[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Well lets try one by one. I don't recall ever saying anything about my dad's phone, but I can't say I never have.

Im trying to put the improvements I've noticed on my phone in the 2nd post, but 5.7.902 is probably needed from input from other people.

My replacement #9 for the DROID 3 will be here Tuesday, and I'm thinking its just luck I get the info I do from Verizon.

[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
Does anyone know how to get 1% battery working on stock?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Just wondering, why is this?
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
Use caution

the thing with downgrading is that even though sbf flash a lot of things, there must be sombething that it doesnot flash. Maybe the new bootloader not play nice with old kernel and I don't think sbf restores bootloader....

Just adding some cents to this

I would stay back from trying to sbf back until is safe or we get sbf from new stock
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
When downgrading, this is what happens. You cannot fastboot flash older versions of boot, cdt or recovery. No matter where you are. Just from experience and developing mavrom, there are quite a few parts of any 5.7.xxx build that are not compatible with 5.6.890. With this said the fxz file we have are 5.6 and grossly outdated. Like other said, you have been warned. If you guys get a chance, you should take a look at the bionic forum and see the work it takes to get it back on the right path just to get the latest official 902 OTA release. Keep this in mind with leaks.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I kinda wish the writeup they made to get back on the official OTA path for the Bionic were to be something similar and maybe have one created at the D3 community as well. I really don't think it will happen.
[Motorola Droid 3] bfranclemont:

Can anyone explain why there are so many OTA leaks yet none of them is actually released officially? Are they test builds or something??
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
Probably they are testing or are not ready
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
I don't know why their testing these otas with stuff all unneeded updates, they know we want ics. 890 is stable enough for a 2.3.4 build. they could give us 2.3.6/7 at least that's a proper update. Very odd.

[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
5.7.905 after Fastboot back to 890, no userspace reformat, upgrade in stock android recovery, exploit run on second boot (thanks DJRbliss!).

Pros: Faster, all around, even with 200 apps installed. Camera runs like a stuck pig.:p

Cons: Maybe (!) shorter battery life. I have yet to do a battery calibration to be sure. Is still based on old kernel and still loaded with VZ GarbageWare. Upgrade breaks OTA Rootkeeper. Market still can't list my history (Hashcode's ICS does not have this problem).

Net effect: it's faster. Yet another reason not to jump to D4 :D

I feel sorry for your mother.
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Im glad im not the only one who ran across the market problem. When I ported 902 and 905 to mavrom, the market would not sync my apps. With 905 I did a little more digging. The problem lies with 7 apps in /system. The ones that are google*****.apk. I reverted them back to the ones from our 5.7.894 builds and everything syncs just fine. I looked at they signatures and they were in fact updated with 902 and 905. So there you have it. If you want market to sync, revert back to the 894 ones. Google f'd that one up.
[Motorola Droid 3] slvrarrow:
could you post those files?
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
http://min.us/mjzZ650Mx#1o just replace the ones in system/app with these and set same permissions as the rest of the apps in the folder and reboot.

[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
Not bragging, but I've been using my gmail account with Android Market since October of 2008, so I have built up a huge history of download history. The problem I'm having has affected ALL of my XT862 roms, including CM7, Liberty v2, and all stock ROMs. Only CM9 is immune and will consistently show me my purchased apps. That's all I can get out of Market and it's been that way since forever. I can get a history back if I destroy all market links with Titanium, but that only lasts for a few reboots, during which all my installed apps show as uninstalled.
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Running .905 rooted and de-bloated to all hell with launcher pro and all I can say is I am seeing is a significant increase in battery life. I am using this thing heavily for about 3 hours with 1 1/2 houra screen on time, with alot of web browsing, app downloads, incoming and outgoing email and 10 minutes of sonic cd and I just dipped under 70% on the stock battery. I have the oem extended battery on the way. My only question is now can we flash roms based on previous versions over the leak updates? My guess would be yes due to the fact that the only thing being flashed is the rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Yes once rooted and safestrapped or bootstrapped you will be able to flash ICS or Steel Droid 4.5.

Keep in mind if not already I would use safestrap because there is no way back to 5.6.890.
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Yeah, installed latest safestrap, did a backup of stock rom. Probably will wait until beta is released of hashcodes ics. But besides that the newest leak is rock solid and battery is definitely improved. Approaching 3 hours screen on time with 40% left on oem stock battery. That in my opinion is ridiculous!
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
A little update, still running .905 except with mav rom 3.0 and its blazing fast with ridiculous battery life. Of course further testing is needed. Can't wait for the beta ics.
[Motorola Droid 3] mattdavis523:
should i care about this if i'm running liberty v 2.0? can i flash either of these and then flash liberty over them? would it really matter?
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Well, you'll get the latest baseband and kernel. Rom choice shouldn't matter. Use hashcodes latest safestrap and you should be fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
You can, but it removes root and disables going back to the 5.6.890 official OTA.

[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
I dont believe I saw a post on this question but could we drop back to 5.7.894 from either of these two updates? Has anyone tried this?
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
My guess is no as there aren't any fxz files for the 5.7.894 ota leak. Especially since it is a leaked update and not official..
[Motorola Droid 3] bfranclemont:
That's an interesting fact about Google+ being added. I thought google plus was added as a standard gapp a while ago.
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
Is there any rom available for these updates or is debloating the most you can do at the moment?
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
Mav Rom has 5.7.902 system files in the ROM already.
[Motorola Droid 3] matthskim:
Then, you do not need to upgrade to 902 if you flash Mav ROM 3.0?
[Motorola Droid 3] davwman:
Not unless you don't want the latest baseband or kernel. We are unable to flash those because of the locked bootloader. The only way is through leaks or official update.zips from moto/verizon
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Nope, if you have ever played with a Galaxy Nexus or flashed Hashcode's ICS rom, you will know Google+ is highly integrated. It usually is only added as a system app if it could see ICS in its future.
[Motorola Droid 3] VincentDHam:
Nope. Its based off of the 5.6.890 but has the 5.7.902 system apps.
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
So after a few days of testing, you guys feel like these leaks are release material at Moto? The baseband and kernel updates relatively error free?
[Motorola Droid 3] slvrarrow:
Well don't know if its new baseband or location but pre update to 905 my dl speed was 1900 ish kb now its 3900 kb.

Overall it seems a lot smoother than 6.894 and sharper loading apps/menus

Launcher seems the same.

Battery seems the same really although not ran from fully charged yet.

Being from the production servers im guessing its further along than the previous leaks.
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
Is there a website you guys are getting these leaks from?

Being that the ones in the dev stage roll out in Q3 of this year, I'm going to bet Hash beats Moto to it by 6+ months. It'll be a year 'til we get official ICS...if at all. My prediction.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
Interesting.. Out of all of the devices with 512mb ram I think we have good chances of making it through the "upgrade cycle".

Maybe the 902/905 updates are preliminary for ICS, maybe the new kernel/baseband are what our ICS build will eventually have? Testing the kernel and baseband in a "minor" update without rollling out a full OS upgrade just to see how well they work.

Lots of maybes/ifs and chances here..

I think your prediction is far off TBH.. Just like the dev's here do, Motorola will also "port" ICS as much as possible. The devices on the list are all almost exactly the same, they aren't going to make a 100% from scratch build for each.

I'm thinking 2-3 months until we see D3 ICS build leaks here on XDA, and maybe another 2 after that there they may be rolling it out.

But in all reality I'm hoping Hash can get his build done soon, and hopefully it doesn't take another 4 months like you are predicting. I think for those in the modding community that the benefits of an official ICS would just mean that the devs will have more to go off.

Only time will tell! =]
[Motorola Droid 3] bfranclemont:
The reality of the Moto ICS update list:

-Only 1 ICS update is currently available

-12 models are currently in dev

-11 more "1GB RAM" models are being Evasulated and aren't being developed yet.

(And when a Large company say's they're evaluating something, it's only to shut people up. Basically they are saying "we're looking into it" with more ambiguity.)

-Then there's the Droid 3, (alphabetically higher) in a different chart because it "only has 512MB".

I doubt we will be seeing any actual leaks for ICS while any of you on this forum are still owning the D3.

If ICS does offically roll out from Motorola, it will be after my 2yr contract is over and I'll likely be drooling over a new 4G phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
True for all, but the D3 is within Google's 18 months upgrade requirement and the D3 is on the list, so I think we'll make the upgrade cycle.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
What 18 month upgrade requirement?

See http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397729,00.asp - the Google Upgrade Alliance was quickly forgotten.

We can only hope at this point.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
There was something somewhere or another, I don't remember anything about it other than 18 months and upgrades. It isn't the GUA though.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
If Moto would ever give us last year's Christmas gift of an unlocked BL, Hash would have this done before Moto begins pushing ICS to ANY of their devices. This is the main issue. If that BL wasn't locked, Hash's job would be much easier.
