Update 5.9.901?

[SamuriHL]

Supposedly Moto names the update to the current official version so it all matches up.

Yup. It's a stupid, non-standard naming convention.

How do I get it to boot from SD when I select the file it shows the 2 files inside? And then goes into them.

*nevermind...there is another nationwide 4g outage with all phones apparently. Thanks Verizon lol.

This update destroyed my 4g anybody know of a fix. I have to stay in cdma only mode now.

I don't have the update yet, but I have no data (3G/4G) at the moment. I read that there was a nation wide data outage for all of the 4G devices.

Verizon is having network issues this morning... Could this be why? I updated last night and it was great but this morning I am getting nothing, then 3g, then nothing again... This looks like another big outage; so, I'll hold off blaming the Bionic.

Its VZW tuning their network again.

"its the network."

No 4G in Seattle; just a strong consistent 3G. Actually digging the consistency, usually it's jumping around from 4G to 3G with minutes of downtime causing me to miss time sensitive emails.
Perhaps Verizon should keep things this way until they get their issues straightened out......

Just rockin on wifi over here. No 3 or 4g. Also no update for my phone is available but my husband got the 5.9 update on his....

 

[monkespit]

No data, try forcing phone to cdma only then make a phone call. Seemed to work for many. I personally just switched to cdma only and rebooted.

Anyone try update that was forever rooted and keep root? Coming from 5.5.893

I was able to come over from .893 with forever root and keep my root. it is surprisingly easy to update this is a stock o t a from motorola all you have to do is download it put it on your sd ext card and then boot into stock recovery.

I know how not worried about that, just wanted to make sure root carried over like it's supposed to.
Also, do you happen to have the any hdmi webtop mod and does it work with newest OTA?

Re: Update 5.9.901???

I just updated to 5.9.901, and will give initial impressions in the near future.

NOTE: Steps to update to 5.9.901 should include how to get into recovery mode (on the Bionic) in the first place.
I figured it out but it would have been a lot easier if I knew in advance to hold both up and down volume before pressing the power button.
Otherwise; the step by step instructions were spot on.

Ok, I guess I missed a spot in that spot on.... I I have a rootedforever Bionic that I installed the OTA update 5.5.893. I downloaded the Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip file and placed it in the Root directory of my SD card (in root explorer there is SDcard that is 7 gigs and SDcard-Ext that is 29 Gigs I used SDCard-Ext) Then I powered off the phone and then held Volume up and down and powered on. I used the volume down to scroll to the recovery item and selected it with volume up. I get the Moto Duel core graphic, then the Android standing next to a Triangle with an ! in it and that is where it sits forever.

So what did I miss?

sorry I have no idea I don't use HDMI or webtop and couldn't even guess if they would work or not

Yes once you are in stock recovery and see the Android robot in the triangle you need to press Volum up and down at the same time, then select install from sdcard.

Thank you.... That makes all the difference in the world.... Ok so here is my spot list

• Download Blur_Version.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip from a trusted source
• Copy it to your SDcard (be sure its the SDcard-EXT folder Usually the same as where you store pictures)
• Power off the phone
• Hold down Volume Up & Down
• While Holding press power button
• Use volume down button to scroll down to "Recovery"
• Select Recovery with Volume Up
• Wait till phone boots to recovery mode (Icon of Android with a triangle and !)
• Press Volume Up and Down at same time
• In recovery menu us volume down to scroll to "apply update from sdcard"
• Select Apply update with power button
• Use volume up & down to scroll to the zip file you copied previously
• Select it with the power button
• Wait for update to finish and it says "Install from sdcard completed"
• Use volume up and down to scroll to "reboot system now"
• Select with power button
• Wait for phone to reboot and enjoy
• Remove Zip file from your SDcard

EDIT: I am still rooted
