somebody have clock issues??? . My clock has delay and do not update realtime .. T.T
[Motorola Droid 3] skyhawk21:
Does anyone know or have a clue when the official update from Motorola comes out? The soak test started back around march 10th or so, and everyday motorola and verizon has released every other motorola products update, just recently but the dam droid 3?

Whats going on? I just do not get it!
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
The invites to be considered for the SOAK test went out around March 10th. I don't know if they've made their selections on who will be in on the test or if the test already started.....
[Motorola Droid 3] koftheworld:
I received my invite a few weeks ago...
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
did you receive an invite or the invite to be considered (where you went to a web link and answered a few questions)?

They then pick from all those submissions to choose who is part of the SOAK test.

There was an enrollment survey but it said I was in.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
well...im happy to announce that i tried to install Cm9 with CWM, and stuck in Moto logo. updated to 906...and started flawless. tried again to install CM9 through CWM...and again stuck in Moto logo. so..i update again to 906...from SD card and..surprise...installed perfectly and started again..perfectly :)

so..perhaps this is a way to unbrick.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I'm on 906 right now, and I tried to go to CM9 via CWM, and got what you are describing. I have not tried it with Safestrap yet.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
use safestrap. CWM is having problems and safestrap is better anyways.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
ICS AOSP works with cwm.

CM9 will not work :( with CWM

CM9 works perfectly with safestrap.

the only thing that annoys me is how to remove CWM after a successful install and to let the phone directly start into the ROM...
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Just installed 1.08e, and am running backups, now. Will report back on how it goes with CM9/GSM after 906.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
To me it works fine...but I just to know how to uninstall cwm recovery from start up...
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I'm having issues with the phone, whether it be CM9, XT883 files, etc. RSDLite will not flash and SBF. I get errors surrounding cdt.bin and boot.img. Using a version of the 1-click .890 fastboot setup, I get the following errors in the attached screen shot, but it does go. Could this be because I went to .906 and can now not go backwards? Perhaps it is something entirely different?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Your image illustrates what i mentioned in my previous post about recovery and boot being stuck on latest version. also stuck on latest version are mbmloader, mbm, and cdt.

Here's a fxz update package i made that includes the 5.7.906 components that can't be reverted. you can drop these files into your 5.6.890 fxz folder or zip and rsdlite will flash without any errors.

[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I realized that after I made that post. Was just not thinking it through. Just a heads up to anyone who is trying to use the XT862 as a GSM phone, and wants to flash the XT883 ROMs, just be aware that the regular XT883 SBF will NOT work if you flash .906! Once you go to .906, as has been noted in the beginning of this thread, THERE IS NO GOING BACK!
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
might try dropping the updated cdt, boot and recovery into the xt883 fxz and see if it works; you'll need to edit the md5 values in the xml file...
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
How do I go about that? I'm all for giving it a try!
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
looking at decompiled boot and recovery files, i realized there is xt862-specific information, so using the 5.7.906 boot and recovery probably wouldn't work so well. you're better off just flashing the xt883 radio if you want to use your xt862 on gsm.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Normally, I'd agree, but there is an updated radio in one of the OTAs. If I can somehow get the base 57.1.60 SBF to flash, I might be able to get the OTA's to flash, thereby grabbing the radio.

I don't think anyone has come up with a way of extracting the radio.img from the phone, once it is flashed. If they did, that would sure be handy.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
you can flash just the radio.img from the fxz with moto-fastboot; true it's not the updated radio, but will at least work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Sure it will, and it does, it is in my phone, now. However, there is a new radio in the OTAs, which does not seem like it is sitting 'right there' like it is in the SBF.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
if you open radio.img, you'll see an update.zip; inside the update.zip is bp.img, that's the radio. you can see the updated bp.img directly in the 60.3.250 update.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Thanks! I'll give it a go.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:

[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
OK maybe I'm doing something wrong. I've got cmw, can boot into recovery, but every time I go to install it gives me an errror - getprop ("ro.product.device") == cdma_solana... Any ideas why and what I can do?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
you need to use stock recovery to install this, it's been mentioned a few times previously in this thread.
[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
Thanks for the quick reply. However, I haven't seen that and every set of directions I've seen in online android news places all say boot into CWM recovery to install this. Specifically stating select install zip from SD card... choose the 906 update.zip and hit ok. So just confused. Did roms all the time on my D1, not on D2 since I had it only shortly, and haven't with this D3 yet but getting tempted ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
here are a couple mods you can do to 5.7.906:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1554916

haven't really seen anything else based on this leak, seems like most people want ics nowadays, even though it's not fully functional.
[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
I saw that... Was hoping to use the dst image as it looks much smoother. However having some second thoughts about installing 906 over the whole system. Might try safe strap instead.

I'd love to go to ics but the bluetooth issue is a deal breaker as I use it constantly.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Neither would flash, unfortunately...

confirm if you update to 5.7.906 , you can down version firmware >>> 5.6.890 :D . I tried !!!!:D
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Did this, and the SBF worked -sorta. I guess with the .906 changes, I lost all video after the 'M' logo on boot. It would boot up. RSD Lite could see it is a XT883, but nothing on the screen at all (although backlight was on). Rebooted, went into Recovery, tried to flash the .250 OTA, and it failed:

Verifying Current System...

I am guessing it is coughing on the boot.img.p file in the OTA?

AFAIK, you can't. Believe that is what the OP was trying to warn about in the beginning of this thread, and it is part of the issue that I am currently posting about.
[Motorola Droid 3] phomuabay:
I have tested, and it was successful with me , you can't believe it ? i don't care but i flashed my devices failed in fastboot and bootloader but all the rest has been successful, and my machine boots up normally in fw version 5.6.890:mad:

:o .
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
OK, did a few more things. I went back and flashed a version of the .890 SBF that I use to recover from things (knowing that I cannot go all the way back). Did that, and guess what? No video again! Something was not getting changed from the XT883 SBF I just did. Went into recover, flashed the .906 update, and everything is back to normal. Are your files above from the .906 update?

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

No need to be mad. It will allow you to put the .890 system back in, but the bootloader, recovery (and kernel, I believe), will still all be .906.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
yeah, just realized that, the ota patches both boot and recovery...

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

yes the files in that package are the partitions that cannot be reverted, along with an updated xml with the md5 values of the new files.

*removed*

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

you are correct, this method, among others, will restore your device to a working state; the problem is some things can't be reverted once updated. what this means is, it will be difficult if not impossible to install the official update once it is released, or flash easily back and forth between xt862 and xt883 software, as we are currently experimenting with :)
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Will try it in a bit. Whatever I have done this morning has made it to where I cannot mount /system in Safestrap 1.08e. Trying to do a nandroid restore, to get back to my baseline, before proceeding further.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Think I see what is happening, it is not letting me root using the Droid4 exploit. Not sure why yet, but that seems to be the issue right now.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
that is strange; not sure what method you're using to get back to 5.6.890, but i would recommend using rsdlite with the updated files i posted since it flashes everything possible. from that point the d4 exploit will work, have done it numerous times.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Was very strange. After going back to .890, and then moving up to .906, I still had icons in there with Chinese characters! I believe there was some remnant of XT883 in there, and it was hosing permissions on the /system directory. At any rate, I flashed everything I could at it, and it finally let go. I am back, rooted, at .906, I have signal on the 34.18.16 XT883 radio, and Safestrap is back in.

In other words, I am back where I was about 5 hours ago :)

Time for a break from this, but then I will get back after it, and then try to figure out why signal does not work with AOKP :)
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I'll probably work on it more tonight. I appreciate all your help.

I wiped everything multiple times, and no luck. It makes me wonder if it ever _really_ does a full wipe. I seem to remember a recovery flashed app for the HTCs called Superwipe+ that really did clean everything out. Seems like we might need something similar for the D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
OK, I tried it, and got the exact same results as earlier today. No video, then the same error when flashing the .250 OTA. Attempting to recover again :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Thanks for trying :)
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I see. Might try it again tomorrow. Trying to recover right now, and having that odd issue where I cannot mount /system again, seemingly indicating that I lost root while within Safestrap recovery. I have no idea why it is happening. I even tried to mount /system first, to be sure it would work. I unmounted, and went to nandroid to load up my known good, rooted .906 GSM setup. During that restore, it dumped with the /system error.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Haven't had that problem before, only thing I might recommend is using clockwork recovery as it has fewer limitations than safe strap. I like safe strap when there's no fxz available or when I want to run two different builds.

Btw, this process of dd'ing boot.img is not my idea, it was developed by TBH and used successfully to get the bionic back on the upgrade path from a cheesecake leak.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Well, I wonder if maybe we ought to try to use this method to try to get back onto straight .890, and then move through the XT883 stuff afterwards?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Ultimately the phone will only boot with the 5.7.906 or newer boot.img and neither rsdlite nor moto-fastboot will successfully flash anything besides the same or newer boot.img.

So the best we can expect from this process as far as xt883 software is concerned is getting the radio and then flashing back to the 5.6.890/5.7.906 hybrid setup.

If a newer fxz or update drops for the xt883 this could change.

I tried what you're suggesting awhile back; I dd'd the 5.6.890 boot and recovery and tried downgrading to the 5.7.894 leak to see if I could then flash the 5.6.890 fxz. The update succeeded but on reboot was stuck in fastboot mode until I flashed the 5.7.906 cdt.bin, boot.img, and recovery.img.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I figured that would be how it was, but thought I'd ask anyway. I think I am going to just leave things alone with the radio for now, and wait for something else to drop in the future.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Yeah I doubt the newer radio is even worth all the effort. I removed links and information for now as I don't want people screwing up their phones.
[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
Just curious as I don't know the tactics.. but where do SBF's come from? Are they leaked from the manufacturer or are they hacked and complied by developers? Both?

Sure would love to see an SBF for the latest version. I play too much with my Android devices not to have a safety net!

Thanks!

[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
guess i'm an idiot, huh? gotta remember to NEVER post in the developers forum
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
i don't know whether or not you're an idiot, i just know your question has no relevance to this thread ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
No relevance? It's all everyone's talked about... "There's no way back to stock", "There's no SBF for the 5.7.906 update", "Can I return to stock?", "SBF won't restore the bootloader, kernel, etc..."
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
your question was, "where do SBF's come from? Are they leaked from the manufacturer or are they hacked and complied by developers? Both?"

As for getting back to stock 5.6.890, there are numerous components that can't be fully reverted to stock. this doesn't mean you can't recover your device though; it means that it will be difficult if not impossible to get back on the upgrade path when the official release drops. here are two methods you can use that have already been mentioned:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336980

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24462878&postcount=97

If/when the new update and/or fxz becomes available, it will likely be unrootable using current exploits anyway.
[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
I appreciate your insight... thank you.
[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
So is anyone using the 906 at this point that installed this? (not just safestrap on the 890). I am really considering it but would like to know if there are some good benefits. I have heard improved camera response, which would be a good thing. I don't use it frequently, but it can be annoying when I do... Also, it just seems no one is talking about it so I just wonder. I know the focus now is on ICS, and I'd love to, but I need bluetooth, so not until that's solved.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
I flashed it and it does seem to run better overall, but nothing in particular that really stands out other than more bloat.

I'm kinda wishing I hadn't flashed it to be honest because I may be stuck off the upgrade path. There are a few tricks that may work to get back on path, but no guarantees yet.

Someone over on Droid forums just reported getting a replacement that has 906 on it, which seems to suggest that this could be the official release; I find that difficult to believe though, considering the d4 exploit hasn't been patched as it has been on all other official updates.
[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
Although that might be an advantage ;) Actually I've seen several posts about people receiving a new droid with 906 already installed. Granted only about 3, but still... When it does come out (if?) I'd still wait a day or so to make sure it's still rooted. My brother has a D2 and installed the update without really thinking about it and as of right now there is no way to root it. He still has the ads removed (as adfree was installed previously so it didn't update hosts files) and found a tether program that works,so that's really all he needed, but still....
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
Yeah no update would be worth losing root, that's for sure.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
The phone is definitely a bit quicker with .906, but considering the downsides of it, I wish I had never updated to it.
[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
Are there downsides other than not being able to o back, no and and no roms since they haven't been done yet?
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Cannot go back, and that is an issue, to say the least.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
nemiroG1 is referring to the inability to flash the xt883 fxz after upgrading to 906. Other than that, the other reasons you mentioned are the only ones I can think of why you wouldn't want to flash this.
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
check this out, just saw it on droid-life:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23207-how-to-sbf-unbricking-root-d2g-629/

it's essentially the same method i posted for getting the d3 back to 5.6.890, except it's done with a modified sbf that flashes the 629 boot, recovery, and cdt.bin after flashing the 608 sbf.

(sorry this isn't related to the thread topic.)
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
I just received a replacement D3 today with this rom on it. All numbers on my rom match the specs in the OP.

System Version: 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: N_03.18.32P

Kernel Version:

2.6.35.7-g5fa4155

xrpk47@il93lnxdroid25 #1

Build Number: 5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10

Can I still flash custom roms on top of this?
[Motorola Droid 3] Q9Nap:
You should be able to, but if you have issues you can flash back to a (mostly) 5.6.890 and go from there.
[Motorola Droid 3] hufn:
Thanks! I will pass along....
[Motorola Droid 3] live2pedal:
I flashed this awhile ago. I then flashed the deodexed dst version, which I unsuccessfully tried themeing. I made a nandroid of the stock flash. Is it possible to just restore that nandroid or am I going to need to sbf?
[Motorola Droid 3] slvrarrow:
Checked all Moto servers for an update today, and .906 (which we already have) is the latest - I'd say that it is probably what was sent out in the soak test as some are receiving it on their replacement devices.

Seems a little snappier (on par with .902 and .905 probably due to the kernel tweaks) camera opens a little faster, same as in the previous 2 leaks.

The only thing in software Ive noticed is that "Data Roaming" stays enabled across reboots unlike in .905 and below (I think)
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
Interesting you point this out, because one of the biggest annoyances I have with .906, is that everytime the phone loses signal, or switches to WiFi, when it goes back to cell signal, I get a Data Roaming Disabled message, and I have to re-enable it. VERY annoying!
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
Since its already arriving in user's hands on new phones, it sounds to me more likely they decided it was ready to go and skipped the test???
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
Can someone post a untouched build.prop of this 5.7.906 version?

[Motorola Droid 3] datinhkhach:
How to flash this update, im do it with safestrap and got a message : installation aborted error status 6.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
You have to be stock and use the stock recovery to flash ota updates like this....

I was able to install the custom version of Safestrap by Rick. I then flashed Liberty 2.0 on the safe system. I am, however, having issues with reception and the keyboard in both the stock and liberty roms. I will be getting my second replacement today... hopefully I have better luck with this one!
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Well, after talking to Moto about why I can't accept this leak, I've concluded nothing, but they DID say that this is the latest update available for the Droid 3. As to why it hasn't been pushed...IDK!, but it is the latest confirmed update.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
And who told you that? My experience is the regular helpdesk john doe doesn't know jck sht
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Level 2 Support. I'm trying to find out why I'm unable to accept this update. Then I called back and Jane Doe told me 5.6.890 was the latest, but she then passed me on to Level 2 again, who at first insisted 890 was the latest, until I pushed back with the fact that earlier I was told, by Moto, that 5.7.906 was the latest. He since confirmed this again.

On another note, who knows the url's/IP's for the dev servers. I'd like to look on my own, as well.
[Motorola Droid 3] droidian1441:
Tier 2 (level 2) support will always know more. They confirmed the update to be 5.7.906? If they confirm the update than they almost always have information on when it is rolling out (at least in my experience).
[Motorola Droid 3] gotoman00:
i've updated to the leak AND installed safestrap + cm9 4/17 nightly on mine and a friend's phone and everything seems to be working great

Tier 2 said it's the latest, but I'm speaking to Tier 3 within the next 48 hours.
[Motorola Droid 3] blkwlf:
Well, I got my second D3 replacement today... it also has 5.7.906

Just like the last phone on this build, I seem to be having reception issues. Randomly, the phone will completely lose reception. Has anyone else seen this on this build?

[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
I did, and tethering still works like a charm:-)
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Did you SBF/FXZ to 5.6.890 stock first?
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
No I just did a factory reset in stock recovery then did the update.

I remember reading somewhere that you don't have to sbf back to stock to flash this update, obviously it's true because i didn't.
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
I understand there's no way to sbf back in case of disaster atm, but if you just use safestrap with safe system enabled there's really nothing to lose, and it's totally worth the update in my opinion:-)

Battery life is way better, not to mention speed is also faster and smoother, I also noticed the display is alot brighter and clearer, and if you did the tethering hack it still works.
[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
Have any of the updates fixed the keyboard problems for anyone? I've read through a couple droidforums threads with people claiming their D3 keyboard issues (keys sticking, keys not typing) were fixed by an update.
