and based on the size/name/etc, I'm assuming this is the biggie, flash everything back to stock, ultimate backup file we've been needing?

goodness - what connection are you on? I get 25 up/down and it's still taking me half an hour or so...

30 down, but only 6 up lol. Slowly making it to my MF account....

And I saw it over an hour ago, so....

based on how quickly it "uploaded" to MU, I'm guessing they hash it and it references the same file you uploaded, fwiw... so I don't know if another MU link helps or not.

johnlgalt · Dec 30, 2011

Hmmm, the file keeps restarting the upload process. I'm going to cancel it and restart it.

Annoying as Hades....

I pulled the signed update.zip for the .893 radios from the image in the XML.zip. This should allow discreet reversion of the bp.img and lte.img like the original .886 one does.
I will upload it somewhere and post it.
Just nice to have as a separate option.

Please excuse my ignorance... but how is this file/image different from the fast boot/FXZ file released back in September or October?

Are these any better? is it a different kind of image?

This is the FXZ package for the 5.5.893 update. If you took the OTA update, you can no longer revert to stock or even fix something if it goes wrong by using the original 5.5.886 FXZ package. This is where this updated FXZ really comes in handy.

Will this file work if you are on the 901 update?

all of my uploads froze to a standstill overnight...

johnlgalt · Dec 30, 2011

No one has actually tried it yet (that I know of), but my theory is that since 5.5.901 uses the same bootloader as 5.5.893, it theoretically should work perfectly fine, as reverting to this 5.5.893 kernel show not throw any boot load errors at all, and thus it should be a painless revert, unlike with 5.5.886.

I have work today or else I'd try it and see.

My upload of this file to my MediaFire account kept restarting - one time I though I had it and it was at friggin 98% and BAM! - restart lol....

I gave up last night, going to try again now.

cellzealot · Dec 30, 2011

I actually think it will require flashing the .901 cdt.bin after running this file over a 5.9.901 installation. We found that was necessary after reverting from .901 using the manual methods developed prior to this release.

johnlgalt · Dec 30, 2011

But it worked this time - http://www.mediafire.com/file/9y7kepv2jv25hht/VRZ_XT875_5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip

Ahhh, that makes sense.

What exact is that file, though?

cellzealot · Dec 30, 2011

the cdt.bin is the partition table that contains the memory addresses for all the partitions on the NAND flash. It basically tells it exactly where to start writing each partition from a specific hex address.

I used it last night and it works great.

eraursls1984 · Dec 30, 2011

I'm still on 886, when I flash this in rsd lite it will put me on 893 with the new radios and bootloader correct?

Jack207407 · Dec 30, 2011

I uploaded to multiupload for anyone having trouble

There are multiple systems to come and go from, and that makes a big difference too.

from what system to 5.5.893?

Here's my take:

OK, from Thom's informative post, Here: http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid-bionic/438060-bionic-reference-terms-links.html

Here is the data:

5.5.893 ... production OTA - release 2011.12.12
5.5.893T875.Verizon.US - System version
2.3.4 - Android version
CDMA_N_03.1C.57Rltedc_u_05.15.01 - Baseband version
WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-21 - Webtop version
2.6.35.7-g68606e6 - vwm736@il93lnxdroid43 #1 - Kernel version
5.5.1_84_DBN-62 - Build number

5.7.893
5.7.893.XT875.Verizon.US - System version
2.3.4 - Android version
CDMA_N_03.1C.57R LTEDC_U_05.15.02 - Baseband version
WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-21 - Webtop version
2.6.35.7-g68606e6 - vwm736@il93lnxdroid43 #1 - Kernel version
5.5.1_84_DBN-62_MR-11 - Build number

5.8.894
5.8.894.XT875.Verizon.US - System version
2.3.4 - Android version
CDMA_N_03.1C.57RLTEDC_U_05.15.03 - Baseband version
WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-21 - Webtop version
2.6.35.7-g68606e6 - hpn683@il93lnxdroid29 #1 - Kernel version
5.5.1_84_DBN-62_MR-2 - Build number

5.9.901 ... leaked OTA (a first) ... 2011.12.19
5.9.901.XT875.Verizon.US - System version
2.3.4 - Android version
CDMA_N_04.06.00R LTEDC_U_07.1E.00 - Baseband version
WT-1.3.0-108_DBN-24 - Webtop version
2.6.35.7-g83fla47 - vwm736@il93lnxdroid43 #1 - Kernel version
5.5.1_84_DBN-70 - Build number

As you can see 5.7.893 differ only in system version and baseband, so the FXZ should work perfectly fine.

5.8.894 has a different kernel email address but the same version, so theoretically it should work too.

5.9.901 is the only real drawback here that may require some significant (or perhaps not that much once the steps are worked out) to revert.

Can anyone confirm the 5.8.894 and 5.9.901 methods yet?

Also, if you're on 5.5.886 non-stock (as in having removed some apps), will this work, as I'm not sure if the bootloader gets updated or not, and if it does not, will this then throw a boot error?

Just asked this as well - hoping for some confirmation as I have no way of reverting to 5.5.886 b/c of the updated bootloader....

I tried 5.5.886 and 5.5.893. Both worked.

johnlgalt · Dec 30, 2011

Yeah, in retrospect 5.5.886 should work period, because if the OTA updated the bootloader and fastboot system, plus recovery, then so should the FXZ file.

D'oh!
