Ok, so I can't post in the development area yet due to lack of posts, so hopefulyl someone will see this and let people know.
I was at 5.6.893-mr1 level and couldn't/didn't get the 5.7.893 update through cheesecake, so I wanted to get there and every guide I could find ended up with me getting the dreaded "Error: /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7" error message. I just figured out how to "fix it" and get what I wanted....it will take some time....
First, go to
http://androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/434407-how-flash-893-update-maintain-root.html
Do everything the first post says. When choosing, use the CWR flash to 5.5.893.
This will get you to 5.6.893-mr1.
Then, hop over to
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327537
and in the first post, go to the section "no longer needed steps" and the file:
3.)Download 5.7.893 and install 5.7.893 via stock recovery Blur_Version.5.6.893-5.7.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US

Install this via stock recovery and reboot. Now, you should have a phone that is 5.7.893, but you'll notice webtop is still screwed.
So, now you can head over to:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1327537 (same thread as before) and follow all the directions in the OP.
FINALLY! You should be at 5.7.893 with a usable webtop and you can apply the hacked webtop to get it without the dock.
I hope this helps someone. I spent the better part of my work day to get this figured out. Hopefully a dev can see what I've done here and make it easier. I think the magic sauce was the CWR flash to 5.5.893 with subsequent stock recovery updates to get the radio and kernel updated such that the "one big update" file worked as intended.
