Bionic Update (5.9.901.en.US)

Sorry guys... my public access to dropbox has been temporarily suspended due to heavy traffic. Maybe someone else can upload the zip to share the load.

Thank you for sacrificing your dropbox freedom for the community, you get +1 internets.

Yep, it fails. Different boot image from 5.893 and fails assertations.

fyi, for future reference about Dropbox I didn't know.

I guess my 10 GB/day went quick. Oh well, live and learn.:icon_ devil:

BTW, I found another thread addressing this update so I guess there's no need for this one to continue.

Thanks to all that assisted in the research of what this update was about.

The conclusion... the update

• failed
• worked but lost root
• work just great

Now I need to suck it up, try the update and see which bullet I take. :icon_eek:


Thanks again,

Fantom

So, are we assuming this is a legit release? I've seen the screen shots..heard about the leaks...got the ota...are we assuming this is safe? Safe as in, this still leaves us on the stock OTA path. It looks like a dozen or so people have reported getting it, but I don;t see anyone in the last 24hrs getting it.

What do the experts think?

Look over in RootzWiki. I think I read someone over there that found a solution. I think the title is "unbrick me"

I'm back up and running. Though the info they give isn't quite the easiest to follow and didn't work for me I got the general idea.

Download Android Flasher: [UTILITY] Android Flasher 2.2.0.5! (12/12/11) - xda-developers

Download this file and use 7zip to untar it onto your desktop: http://www.multiupload.com/4FQV4MLO4G

Now put your phone into the Fastboot Mode (Not with the fail flasher)

Click "Radio" and find the radio.img from the file you just untared.

This is really all you need but you may use the "System" link as well.

Click "Begin"

Once it has finished flashing the file your phone will reboot. Disconnect it from the computer and boot it up normally. You should be good to go.

Congrats!!

Unfortunately I still can't get the 893 update. Mainly because the system is mismatched. I saw another guy successfully got .901 after the brick. I'm curious as to how he did this. Any suggestions?
