OK folks it seems that this no longer works on the 893 OTA it worked on the 5.7.893 which is what I was referring too. I've been in a hole working on ICS and didn't even know there was a new OTA lol
So, that is helpful. The OTA is 5.5.893 (not 5.7.893), which is why I had to use your script with option 1 to get back to stock 886, root, and then take the 5.5.893 OTA again (and I kept root). I don't know where the 5.7.893 system came from but it didn't show up as an OTA for me. I had tried other options in your script but the only one that worked was option 1. I think that may be what is confusing folks because the other options don't work with 5.5.893 (maybe whether previously rooted or not). However, I haven't seen anyone say that option 1 doesn't work unless maybe they have gotten themselves off the OTA path. P.S. I did option 1 on Dec. 23rd and have been happily rooted since.
