I think it will work, but don't quote me on that. Give it a try

update failure

Everything went as shown until it tried to apply the update and it failed.

I hate being new to this.

What could some issues be?

I did already have the phone rooted, then did the forever root method in the video continuing with everything else shown.

Forever root is really a waste of time as it will be patched. It's a sane method, well thought out even...just not forever.

I had the same issue...I'm retrying as I type this. I hope it works!!! I did notice that when it comes to setting up a moto account I don't get the option to accept the license agreement? could that be it?

Update failed a second time! What is causing it to fail after the download? Did moto prevent something? Did I do something wrong? I followed the videos & triple checked my work.

I just did the update to 5.6.893. The only thing I know (well, it's stated in almost every thread on every forum that addresses this update) is the phone must have all stock apps and no modifications, other than root (& forever root). If you have any bloatware frozen or deleted, it will fail. If you have modded the notification bar, it will fail.

Good luck.

Thanks...I just remembered I used root explorer to turn some bloat to .bak files...I wonder if the wireless teathering hack (the one where you change in the database) will cause an issue?
