TBH .602 instructions

[Dubbayoo]

Are there instructions for the TBH .602 update anywhere?

 

[Sithlrdvad]

Official Gingerbread update 4.5.602 (rooted and ready) or Stock.

There's also a way to do it without having to wipe your device by SBFing.

I can confirm that this method works perfectly as described in the original post.

 

[DarkSorrow]

I used the same method myself. Didn't feel like SBFing.

I also tried this method, used the OTA update that came to my phone.... and i seem to have retained Root.
Now just need to see if 602 is any good ^_^

OK maybe i'm missing something but i'm on factory 602. I saw that on MDW they offer a fully stock update but they don't specify is that fully stock 602???

I have a 340 sbf so i could go back but im curious is there a way to root factory 602 thats already installed???

thanks

Try following the steps in the first post of the link to the MDW forums (the "update to .602 without SBF'ing" thread) after the step that calls for taking the update. Copy the superuser zip to your SD card, pull the battery, and if you then boot into clockwork recovery, install the zip file. You should then be rooted again.

I followed all the steps in the "update to .602 without SBF'ing" thread and everything went fine, have .602 and new radio everything working. I went to CWR like it is explained, installed SU and rebooted the phone. Everything went according to plan except that I'm still not rooted, what else can I do to regain root?

Make sure you have the correct zip file. It's the non-binary "efgh" one.

 

[Freakin Rican]

I've checked and that is the one, not the binary. I have tried re-installing but no luck.

How can I see and open the Superuser App but none of my apps that need root work? What am I missing?

So I forgot about defrosting the bloat before updating, but other than that I followed the TBH instructions. After the install reboot it said "update failed", however my phone says System version 4.5.602.MB810.Verizon.en.US, altho it doesn't look like the radio updated, Baseband version BP_C_01.09.12P so I dunno. Checking for system updates says it is up to date. I guess only the radio update part failed? I lost root from the "update", but the su file restored it.

I'm confused about what else I need to try this. I'm on .596 stock rooted. I have Droid 2 Recovery bootstrap, Superuser and Titanium Backup Pro installed. Do I still need this CWR Nandroid business?

Lol. That Nandroid business is ClockworkMod Recovery which comes with Rom manager app, a wise investment.

 

[Dubbayoo]

I didn't need Nandroid whatever. Droid2 bootstrap let me install zips by pulling the battery. I'm in bidness with root and all....GPS lock is definitely faster.
