I have noticed that there still a little glitch with the 3g and wifi switch over. when I first updated I could see the 3g and wifi at the same. now when I turn on wifi 3g disappears. I'm not sure if they have changed it because before you would see wifi and 3g. seems now when you turn on wifi to 3 g should disappear so you're just on wifi. I have tried several times toggling between wifi and 3g and it has turned on every time so far. so far very happy with this update

Probably changed to avoid confusion. Presently when on wifi, I can see the 4G indicator, but it turns white as in inactive.

Default 5.7.893 not able to update

I attempted to load this on one that I had used 5.7.893 it did not work. Has anyone found a way to get 5.7.893 back on the update track?

Ok so I just wanted to chime in. I allied the updated in first post. My 3g is holding steady with ltd/cdma checked where I used yield have to turn it off or I would lose data and reset phone . I have no lte here. 3g takes less than 20secs to return after a call. I have 3/4 solid bars 3g where I used to have 2/3. I forever rooted then took ota then applied the 901 and kept root. It took a good bit for my phone to boot though. I am very **stoopid** when it comes to stuff like this and rely on one click methods but it was very very simple. I really don't see how it could be any easier. Thanks for all the help here!!!

does this work with 5.7.893 and can we use this to update back to stock, at this point i don't mind losing root i just want to go back to stock, or is there some other way to get back to full stock from 5.7.893. Can I use the first back up i made of my phone, through bootstrap? The back up is not 5.7.893

The file name is the file that you must be on to update to 5.9.901. So it says 5.5.893 which means you have to have 5.5.893 to update using this file.

rexboe is the link for the .893 update or .901? Just get routed to an 5.5.893 download.

1) The update is named 5.5.893....that means it's updating *FROM* 5.5.893 to 5.9.901. You will NOT find an update called 5.9.901.

2) The update ONLY works on *STOCK* 5.5.893. All the bloated apps and all must be there. Do not try to update a custom ROM with this. Do not try to update if you've frozen or removed system apps. The update patches files, and will do a lot of checks to make sure that the patches won't break your phone. Trying to patch files that have been changed will break things. Badly. Stock 5.5.893->5.9.901.

3) People on 5.7.893 can stop wasting their time looking for a way back to the upgrade path for now. There isn't one. You can't restore a nandroid to get there. You can't flash the stock 886 FXZ. You can't force an update not designed for your version. The simple fact is that we have updated to a boot image that is off the upgrade path. Until an update is released specifically for this version OR a full update that doesn't care what version you're on is released, you can sit tight. Cause nothing you try is going to work.

I hope that helps clear up any confusion.

This is for 5.9.901 the file is named 5.5.893 becuase that is how moto names the files. You have to be on 5.5.893 to update to .901
