Well this is a bit of pleasant news. At least people who were bricked can have a functional phone again. Now we just need a root method. Thank you for this!

Can't get sbf download directly to phone......does this have to go to a PC first?

You should be able to dl to the phone, no point though really, have to flash from a pc anyway.

@daywalker04 Thank you!!!

Ya, guess if that was a snake it would have bit me too! Ty.

I have a theory about the bootloader, please feel free anyone to shoot it down or help see if it will work.

TBH released patches for bootloader, kernel, and baseband. here

So my theory is that the bootloader patch they released was 30.04, if we get root on .621 and can get into Clockwork recovery, could we install this bootloader patch which is still 30.04, and then be able to SBF back to .602?

What do you guys think?

I was running stock .605 with root via the DROID 3 easy root script v7 and then did the the OTA update to .621 and after it was done and rebooted I still had root. If you're on stock .605 I would strongly recommend you root it via the DROID 3 easy root script v7 script (Google it) to root it and then take the OTA .621 update to keep root.

Update: After reading a response below to this post I decided to try and see if I could get root access with any new apps that were not installed prior to the .621 update and I have discovered that I cannot. So user trebuchet76 had the right suspicion that I didn't really have root anymore but rather the apps I had installed prior to the .621 update that had root kept it after the update but new apps will not get root access.

Hmmmm, that's odd....still wanting someone to confirm this was not an isolated incident.....

This sounds like bad info written all over it. The only sure fire way that I know of to keep root after OTA is Voodoo rootkeeper. Why risk it when there is no known root method for. 621 and no way to revert?

Sounds like to me, your previously allowed su requests are kept, but no new ones allowed.

You were right!

After reading your post I thought I'd try and install a new app that required root privileges so I installed Titanium Backup and you were right! The apps that had root access prior to the .621 update kept root access but no new apps could get root access.

Well I'm glad we have an SBF now, but has anyone got in touch with p3 yet?

milski65 · Feb 27, 2012

This is very good news. Congratulations, and many thanks.

I saw on p3droid's twitter a few days ago that he was aware of the SBFing problem. I'm not sure if he's working on anything though. In his tweet he said that even though the bootloader was not updated, something in the cdt.bin had changed which blocks us from SBFing to an earlier build.

hmm... hopefully he will figure something out.

BTW, does anyone wanna give me his Twitter name? I kinda want to follow him now, just to get updates on this little dilemma...

It's @p3droid

Alternatively, you can Google "p3droid twitter".

I'm kinda hoping someone figures out an exploit here soon, anxious to upgrade to .621 but want to wait for a root method

You can use OTA Root Keeper to retain root. I still wouldn't recommend updating though.

I am hoping for a pre-rooted deodexed .zip to work with as opposed to the OTA Rootkeeper method.

That makes me wonder at whether or not we could remove the file that causes SBFing to break (which is cdt.bin according to p3droid, I believe), package the update for CWM, and make it flashable that way.
