Not much info here... How did you screw up your device? The update is essentially a fastboot file in a .zip. Try reflashing it again.
maybe reflashing the same 7.906 file in stock recovery (holding M on BOOT) selecting recovery (stock recovery here) and pressing [vol + vol -] when the android and triangle appears, and apply update from sdcard
if it works tell us
if dont? then i guess you will have to wait until a sbf appears with an updated version.
With this update I've noticed for some reason my wallpaper will automatically go back to stock wallpaper the one when u first install. And I had to change it back twice today..... weird.. I would just turn my phone on and have to change my wallpaper back

Ive had that issue forever on stock (way before this update). It would just randomly changed to the stock diagonal strip wallpaper when I changed orientation or slid the keyboard out
i did not brick my device
it works perfectly. i was asking...to be sure, and if it happens (God forbid!) to know the answer already.For me "AP Fastboot" SBF using RSD Lite always works. But I have to skip allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin, mbmloader.bin & mbm.bin
Ok I updated to this and my ohone works just like it needs to but I had something to ask if there is no way back to stock then I can no longer take ota update like what im asking if the ota update of ics ever came out for my phone then I can not take it because its a stock ota fw?

Don't worry, ICS will lilkely not EVER be officially released for the D3. If it was and you couldn't get it via OTA, you might have to wait a day or two until someone here made it a .zip file that you could flash just like this leak.
Really if you think about it what's new in the official ota updates? Its not like you wont be able to find it in a .zip file anyway which isn't a biggie

can anyone confirm whether this works as a way back to 890 from 906?
i have the 906 system running on top of the 890 saftestrap rom and works well; would like to try the full update as long as there's a safety net.
Dont worry. I have done this over 20 times. You are running 906 over Safestrap 890 while I did not use Safstrap any time with 902 / 905 / 906.
Make sure you do NOT flash the files I mentioned in earlier post.

Guys no matter you are on 902/905/906. "AP Fastboot" SBF using RSD Lite 5.6 always works. But you need to skip allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin, mbmloader.bin & mbm.bin.
Extract all files from 890 SBF zip & remove following lines from VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.xml & select this xml file in RSD Lite for flashing
Also I strongly suggest that you do a factory reset from Original recovery (Power+X) but you switch to "AP Fastboot" for sbf flashing.
Hello all,
Is anyone having trouble with the internal flash memory and/or sd card memory not being mounted when connected via USB cable to a PC? I seem to be having issues, even if I am connected via USB for charging only. Both the internal and SD flash memory does not mount. I literally have to reboot in order to get this back. I was having issues with 905 and was hoping it was fixed, but no luck.

I'm back with another update.
The 5.7.906 update does include a kernel, BP and bootloader update just like 5.7.902 and 5.7.905.
The 5.7.906 update IS ROOTABLE using the exploit below.

**OTA ROOTKEEPERS DO NOT WORK, PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION**
THERE IS NO WAY BACK TO STOCK.
AFTER SEEING REPEATED PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FLASH THIS UPDATE WHILE ON A STOCK 5.6.890 OR OTHER UPDATE.
DO NOT FLASH OVER AN ICS ROM OR ANY ROM. IF YOU HAVE PERFORMED THE TBH DROID 3 RADIO HACK YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO NOT INSTALL ANY LEAKS.

Get downloading!2To those who need instructions on installing, and do not care as long as it works:
It is likely someone has a better method, but I was able to upgrade to 906 going the route provided below. Both roms will be wiped during this process but your internal and external SD's should not be affected.
1. Put the 906 update on the root of your external SD card.
2. Turn off phone.
3. Boot in Safestrap. Toggle safestrap off.
4. Reboot
5. Pull battery or shut phone down again
6. While turning on phone hold down X until you see a triangle with an ! and a droid dude.
7. Press both the up and down volume buttons at the same time until you get to the bootloader menu.
8. Wipe phone.
9. Install update from external SD card.
10. Choose 906
11. Reboot.
12. Wait awhile.
13. Use Droid 4 root exploit to get root
14. Re-install safestrap.
15. Done!
(You maybe able to restore an old Rom you have backed up on safestrap. I am not going to try it)2
Dont worry. I have done this over 20 times. You are running 906 over Safestrap 890 while I did not use Safstrap any time with 902 / 905 / 906.
