Back on the upgrade path!!

[wilboy]

Only 2 hours? LOL I'm still waiting/hoping the new phone gets delivered today. They said overnight, but, that means different things to different carriers unfortunately. I could be outta luck until Monday or Tuesday depending on when they actually ship it out and when whatever carrier they use actually delivers it.

Yap,that's true man!I used this method Get to 5.5.893 OTA from ANY LEAK - RootzWiki ...follow all the directions and BOOM,got it!Now am hunting for the best ROM(hate the bloatware).dunno which one will work w/ 5.893.Any idea?..Why!what happened to your device...and what phone did you get?Neway,goodluck man!... am now a happy camper waiting for the next official OTA(ICS)upgrade!..Oh.. been in VW store( other store) last night too,seems like they have the same answer,last night the guy told me (he's not sure-ICS upgrade) but "may be" 2weeks from now (like the one i've been before)he said.Fingers crossed!!
Oh still have a headache..hangover last night too!

I was bricked for over 24 hours. VZW is sending out a replacement Bionic. *HOWEVER*, I was able to unbrick it this morning! How sweet is that?!

A easier way back to the update path - RootzWikihat's what i used and it worked! I'm in CWR right now restoring my stock rooted image. I'll fix that up with the latest stuff (It's from November when I first rooted the phone), and update to 5.5.893 and nandroid again. Then I have to decide if I wanna do 901. However, given that we can get back to stock at any point now, I think it's safe to say I'm likely heading to 901 today.

Congrats man I am really glad that you got it back up and working....are you gonna send the "new" one back. I personally am just very hesitant to jump to 901 since MOTO has released a statement that it is still in testing...and so there is still a possibility that they may change the release....and being that I just got pack on path by the skin on my teeth I personally do not want to press my luck.

Considering it got pushed to people's phones OTA, it has to be supported going forward. There has been talk of VZW still pushing it to some phones for those who complain. Those who are on it are extremely happy with it.

If it ever comes I will send it back yes. I'm keeping my phone since there's nothing wrong with it. I felt bad that they were sending me one in the first place, so, now I don't have to feel bad. I'm extremely happy to be back up and running again!

Samuri,

Wow, that was incredible. I thought for sure you were hosed for good. You really did take one for the team. And I seriously mean that. As much as it was the folks over there who banded together for you, it took you hanging with it to essentially trouble shoot all of the methods. Which led to the final fix. A lesser person would have just returned/exchanged the phone early on. Good job, sir.

I just found this link this morning and applied it and IT WORKED!! I was starting to freak out 'cause I had downloaded the leaked .893 before going back to .886 and getting stuck. Do you know how much it sucked to feel like you were gonna be stuck at .886 indefinitely?? I'm so glad this worked. Used my TB to restore everything and it was almost too easy! Cheers!!
