Were you 4ever rooted? Have you ever installed a leaked update?
I was rooted and OTA'd and now cannot re-root. I was pretty sure I was 4ever rooted...

Interesting thread. Maybe I should go back to Stock/Rooted and see if the OTA arrives and installs.

If you've installed any leaked updates the 5.8.894 will fail every time.

No, I have not applied any leaked updates; just the ROM's. I will give it a whirl to see what happens!

Try http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...70-r3l3as3droot-43v3r-root-bionic-v2-1-a.html and see if that makes a difference. Says it'll work with .893 but I haven't received the OTA so I can't say honestly.

I lost root after the update and found a work around for root. I went to the above mentioned website http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...70-r3l3as3droot-43v3r-root-bionic-v2-1-a.html and followed -Unbrick Bionic with OneClick Restore “R3l3As3Droot and 43V3R Root” 10/28/11.......

performed options 1,5, and 7

Built my phone back with titanium backup that I had

rebooted and Verizon pushed me the update a second time. YES I did nothing and the ota came back. (I may have checked for updates)

I downloaded and installed .893 ( it took forever to restart and install but eventually worked)

My previous issues with loss of root are gone because titanium BU is working and I no longer get error messages.

I hope this helps someone

I did not expect the ota to re push. My plan was to do the above and install the leaked 893
