i am new to the bionic, just swapped my inc2 for one off CL. I am along time sense user so this will take a bit to get used to.. figured it was time for a change. so far so good the phone is in flawless condition. i see that you guys got an update. i am on the 5.5.893 version, and i have no software update available right now. i see some ppl got this on an OTA. am i the only one who didnt get this yet? thanks in advance
My battery life was better with 893 than it is with 901.

No, it was accidentally released to some people OTA, but, it was pulled fairly quickly as it wasn't supposed to go out yet. Some people managed to capture the update so a lot of us manually installed it. It should be pushed out in a week or two. But there's always a chance that it won't be 901 when they start it up again. But since it was pushed to people's phones, VZW will have to support it regardless.
Thanks man for quick reply. Loving phone. Looking forward to this community. Pretty popular phone

Hey guys, I made an offer to buy a bionic from craigslist that is rooted and running .901, my question is how hard is it to unroot? Will a rooted phone still get the ota upgrades? The seller claims yes but I would like a little confirmation before buying. I know that this is probably a newbie question but I've only had an android for about 6 months (thunderbolt) and am new to the root world. Thanks to any replies.
901 is likely to be an official upgrade path version, so, it's probably better just for that reason alone. As for retaining root, it depends on the method you use to go back to the upgrade path. I kept root, but, my "method" was convoluted and not recommended.I'd do some research into the 3 ways to do it and choose the one that seems like it's easiest to follow for you.
Ok, so there is a way to keep root, but is it true you can't use the existing roms like purity after the upgrade?
I have a question. We are on 5.5 still. We have continued to check for an upgrade, but are being given the message we are up to date. I would really like to update. We aren't rooted.
