Nope, the reason why I mentioned it was to inform my buddy cjb056 that he doesn't have to do OC/UV or flash ROMs to achieve great battery life, after all that's what he is asking about.:rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
your post is worthless. you dont show usage, you dont show running tasks, signal, wifi. AND you charged it back midway through. But thanks for telling your story, tell it again bro. Also being this is a development site, no one gives a rats rump about what the phone does as stock.

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.

I am going to be interested if this fixes a problem with mounting SD card as logical drive.

Edit: yes it looks like the mounting issue I was experiencing with 905 is fixed in 906!
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Can someone get me a 906 system dump?
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
I know there is no back to stock but is there a way to get back to this same build in the case of disaster?

[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I doubt it. You could try re-flashing the update but that has never worked for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
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.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
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. O.o

from 905 with custom rom, how can i install this?

[Motorola Droid 3] MyopicWorm:
Does anyone have the detail change log?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I'm working on it. Ya have to actually notice the changes first.

But for now, everything that is in the changelog for the 902 and 905 update is the same in this update. But something is new.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Let me get something clear: Have you flashed the actual 905 update?
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
yeah. just 2 days ago. i have 905 with MavRom. Installed with cwm recovery. (On safe system..)

but even if 906 is not so necessary, i would like to know the method to be able to update. (perhaps when 907 will appear....)
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
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.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
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.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
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.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
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)
[Motorola Droid 3] davidhooper:
Is that the internal or external SD card?
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
My bad external
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
@droidian1441

thanks. i complety forgot about STOCK recovery :)

i will wipe data (mavrom) in stock recovery and then apply the update.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
You may not get it pushed, but you can either go to "About Phone" and hit search for updates, or you can flash the .906 leak just like you did with .905.
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
Has anyone been able to 'sbf' back to the previous version.. 860 I believe?

Also what about root? Rootkeeper work ok or does the root doer apps still function?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
You wont be able to FXZ (sbf) back to 890. Rootkeeper does not work, you will need to root using the motofail method.
[Motorola Droid 3] jediman:
So in other words, install over safestrap :)

Thinking about doing that and rooting.

Liberty seems a tad unstable anymore.
[Motorola Droid 3] yus4eel:
How do install this while having safe system enabled whenever i enable safe system it just shows a black screen for the boot animation and doesnt boot up
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
This must be flashed (as probably outlined in the OP) via stock android recovery. X+Power then vol + and vol -. This can not be installed via SafeStrap or BootStrap. You will then lose root, and have to reacquire it with the MotoFail root utility. From here, you can install BootStrap to flash your non-safe, then uninstall that and install SafeStrap to switch over and flash your safe system (assuming you're not using the tweaked version of SS).
[Motorola Droid 3] jonnyboy-behan:
I went to stock recovery and did everything mentioned and got a message saying I didn't have permission to flash the rom or something along those lines any ideas why im running the current official stock rom
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
Did you sbf back to stock (5.6.890)?

It wont update if you have root and changed or removed stuff..

1.sbf

2.install update via STOCK recovery x+pwr

3.re-root using motofail root tools for the d4

4.install safestrap

If that dont work try re-downloading the update again.....:D
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So you don't have to use rootkeeper or whatever beforeflashing? All you need to do to achieve root is done after flashing .906?

And this is the correct motofail?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497690

?
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
Correct :)
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
You must be on a box stock ROM to flash any stock update. Once you FXZ to 5.6.890, you can flash with Android Recovery and then use the link to Motofail you posted above.
[Motorola Droid 3] jonnyboy-behan:
downloaded the file again and it seems to have worked this time maybe the first zip i downloaded got corrupted during the d.l or something
[Motorola Droid 3] newshook:
Hello, is this link http://dev-host.org/uEA the same as VZW released for soak test a few days ago?
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
That is the leak. I am posting the official update now. They are different even though most is same, I recommend flashing the official update, not the leak.
[Motorola Droid 3] newshook:
For people who already installed the leak, is there anyway to override it with the official one?

I am just curious .... look forward to the official version you are going to update.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Why do people say MD5 is the same?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
The md5 values are the same for both files, they are identical.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Something is different between the leak and the official update. At least for me anyways.

Reports from me and other people say that 5.7.906 is rolling out to the public now! :D
[Motorola Droid 3] bgmarian:
link dont work :(
[Motorola Droid 3] verkerria:
Hey Droidian, is this 906 update a complete rom we can reflash when we brick? Is there a debricking tool we can use if we get in trouble on this rom?

[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
FYI....Motorola has announced a soak test starting for the droid 3.

Sent from my Xoom
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
I know im in the soak test haha!

Once we can tell people I'll tell you what the update is
[Motorola Droid 3] watermummy7:
Yess I am running 906 sucessfully and rooted fine I didn't have usb debugging enabled. I must say it is really awesome. My screen looks so much sharper! The black is blacker and the response is soo much better!

And what's a soak test? Is this 906 ota the newest one? Id like to be up to date for the droid 3
[Motorola Droid 3] n0manarmy:
I noticed this update when I was browsing around and looked on my phone which was using only 5.5. I've been seeing good things in this thread but the mirror wasn't working for the download at the time so I went ahead and grabbed ICS/AOKP for the Droid 3 and have been running it for a few days.

My question is are there updates in 5.7.906 that I won't get from the current ICS/AOKP that would be worth going back to 5.7.906 and then to ICS/AOKP or do the updates not work like that?
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
A soak test is the testing of an actual release update, not a leak. If the soak goes well, the patch is pushed to OTA. If the soak is different than the leaks....those on the leaks may not ever be able to get back on the official updates.

Sent from my Xoom
[Motorola Droid 3] watermummy7:
So its possible i might not be able to get back to official updates? Because id like to see an official update of ics for the droid 3
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Let's hope that OTA comes soon :). Luckily I can still SBF back to stock
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
Many NV Items have been updated in this Update (The ones updated in 905 + MOT_NV_GSM_1800), Do not know what they are meant for. But after flashing 906 touch response of my Phone increased a lot. Its far better & smooth now.

Highly recommended for people facing Touch issues.
[Motorola Droid 3] watermummy7:
Sbf is always an option
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Apparently not since you can't flash .890 SBF after you flashed newer OTAs.

Thats why im still on .890 baseband/kernel etc
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
so if you are on 905 or 906 and you do a wipe...you cannot receive the OTA?
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
We don't know at this point. The warnings are always posted...."if you flash this "LEAK" you may not be able to get back to the official update path".

"Flash at your own risk", etc.....

It's very possible, the REAL update will require you to be on the official 6.890 release version. It's very possible also that it won't care and update whatever version you are on to the REAL release version.

Remember...the "leaks" aren't leaked from Motorola....they are files found by users here that are monitoring the servers Motorola uses to push updates, so they could be real updates, test updates or just about anything.

As there is no way to go back to 6.890 if you've flashed any of the leaks....and the official update checks your version before it will update......you may very well not be able to use the official update.

But.....it may just flash fine without any issues right over the un-official versions.

We won't know until they start pushing it out.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
ok, so if you're on 906 and you brick somehow... what next?
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I think you're screwed until .906 SBF arrives :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
but the stock recovery...and wipe all...will not solve it ?
[Motorola Droid 3] donwhall70:
Not much info here... How did you screw up your device? The update is essentially a fastboot file in a .zip. Try reflashing it again.
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
maybe reflashing the same 7.906 file in stock recovery (holding M on BOOT) selecting recovery (stock recovery here) and pressing [vol + vol -] when the android and triangle appears, and apply update from sdcard

if it works tell us :)

if dont? then i guess you will have to wait until a sbf appears with an updated version.
[Motorola Droid 3] watermummy7:
With this update I've noticed for some reason my wallpaper will automatically go back to stock wallpaper the one when u first install. And I had to change it back twice today..... weird.. I would just turn my phone on and have to change my wallpaper back
[Motorola Droid 3] duffman452001:
Ive had that issue forever on stock (way before this update). It would just randomly changed to the stock diagonal strip wallpaper when I changed orientation or slid the keyboard out
[Motorola Droid 3] watermummy7:
Is there any way of fixing it? Its so weird
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
i did not brick my device :) it works perfectly. i was asking...to be sure, and if it happens (God forbid!) to know the answer already.
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
For me "AP Fastboot" SBF using RSD Lite always works. But I have to skip allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin, mbmloader.bin & mbm.bin
[Motorola Droid 3] leerpsp:
Ok I updated to this and my ohone works just like it needs to but I had something to ask if there is no way back to stock then I can no longer take ota update like what im asking if the ota update of ics ever came out for my phone then I can not take it because its a stock ota fw?
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Don't worry, ICS will lilkely not EVER be officially released for the D3. If it was and you couldn't get it via OTA, you might have to wait a day or two until someone here made it a .zip file that you could flash just like this leak.
[Motorola Droid 3] watermummy7:
Really if you think about it what's new in the official ota updates? Its not like you wont be able to find it in a .zip file anyway which isn't a biggie
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
can anyone confirm whether this works as a way back to 890 from 906?

i have the 906 system running on top of the 890 saftestrap rom and works well; would like to try the full update as long as there's a safety net.
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
Dont worry. I have done this over 20 times. You are running 906 over Safestrap 890 while I did not use Safstrap any time with 902 / 905 / 906.

Make sure you do NOT flash the files I mentioned in earlier post.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Guys no matter you are on 902/905/906. "AP Fastboot" SBF using RSD Lite 5.6 always works. But you need to skip allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin, mbmloader.bin & mbm.bin.

Extract all files from 890 SBF zip & remove following lines from VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.xml & select this xml file in RSD Lite for flashing

Also I strongly suggest that you do a factory reset from Original recovery (Power+X) but you switch to "AP Fastboot" for sbf flashing.
[Motorola Droid 3] slvrarrow:
would it be possible for you to upload a ready made file kapilthio? Im sure it'd help the less technically minded out.
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
rename attached from .txt to .xml

Applies for 890 SBF only.

And do this at your risk. I am having WiFi issues. May be its because of CM9 or 906, I cant comment. So do it at your sole risk.
[Motorola Droid 3] stevefxp:
Hello all,

Is anyone having trouble with the internal flash memory and/or sd card memory not being mounted when connected via USB cable to a PC? I seem to be having issues, even if I am connected via USB for charging only. Both the internal and SD flash memory does not mount. I literally have to reboot in order to get this back. I was having issues with 905 and was hoping it was fixed, but no luck.

[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
Kapilhio, the first time you updated to 7.906 or other leaks you took afull update with boot loader..am i right? (You are not supossed to be ableto go back, but you can skip the files you mentioned)

If u flash system back to 6.860 you cant. Flash back bootloader (and you skipit which is OK)… but it meand you have the new boot loader that doesnt play nice with old kernel.(hence the wifi problems) or u have a new kernelthat doent play nice with old OS dont really know :P

But Only if you already did it and If. Im right , a full update to. 7.906 should fix the wifi (but i think u already tried that) so im out of ideas here, other than to wait for a newSBF of a new OTA with upgraded everything.

Maybe you can try to flash a modded Rom like darkdroidorsomething based on new leaks (905/6)

And maybe it would work

I hope

Actually that WiFi issue came up coz of CM9 ICS rom. Not because of 890 / 905 / 906.

Hopefully the soak test is going to start soon. Upon my predictions and Motorola's actions on their servers, it looks like the 5.7.906 update will be the update.

But that is just what I have noticed before. Things can change in 5 days anyway.

Anybody else agree?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Finally got some time to try restoring to 890 from 906.

first tried just a straight flash with rsdlite 5.6 in ap fastboot mode, as leerpsp claimed this worked for him; the flash failed instantly.

then tried the above method and it did NOT work; tried removing the lines mentioned from the xml as well as trying the txt/xml that was posted; both attempts failed instantly using rsdlite 5.6 in ap fastboot mode.

Fortunately psouza4's script did work to recover, although recovery and boot are stuck on newer version, so no idea what leerpsp is talking about.
