[STOCK ROM] Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread 4.5.91 (Safest Update)

[kennethpenn]

Warning

Don't worry, they won't give you a brickable device like the over-the-air zip.​

​

Description

I've uploaded the stock images for those who want to check out 4.5.91 without trying a custom ROM or creating a brickable device.

You'll still need an unlocked bootloader to flash these images, but they should provide you with a clean version of 4.5.91 that works perfectly.​

Download

Click to Download
(under "Gingerbread stock images" label)
(ignore directions above the download)​

Instructions

1. Download moto-fastboot for your operating system
2. Turn your device off
3. Boot into "Fastboot mode" by holding down the bottom volume button while pressing power.
4. Use the following commands to flash the images:
   • moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
   • moto-fastboot flash system system.img
5. Use the following commands to wipe data and reboot:
   • moto-fastboot -w
   • moto-fastboot reboot

So I'm confused..how is this different than the other methods of getting 4.5.91? I know one of then can brick if you flash sbf, but isn't the cwm zip safe?

These are completely safe to flash. They don't mess with your bootloader like the OTA or SBF.

Running nicely.

So is there any particular benefit to using this instead of the flashable zip beta #4 thing you have in the dev forum?

Why does the brief mobile site say you need CWM? Your instructions just say fastboot. I am relatively new at this so excuse the stupid question if it is one.

So before flashing this we need to unlock bootloader by flashing the pudding unlock sbf. After that can we gain root by using the root.zip found on the other threads by flashing with cwm

So does this work just as well as the other one that was removed because of potentiak damages to peoples phone? I just want to make sure if I use this I have everything working, like the fingerprint reader.

seems good, lets try

The download links for the image pack is below those instructions, because those are for something else. Just use fastboot for these.

Sorry, if I am being a bit thick here.
Having installed this update, one should generally avoid installing future OTA's, correct?

Hi Ken,
Could you please help to clarify:
1- I have already been on 2.3.4, using flashable zip for locked bootloader. Anything different between your rom and the previous flashable zip file ? Is your file is final one ?
2- Noting that using 2.3.4 via flashable zip for locked bootloader, I can not flash back to stock 1.8.3 rom (or I have to use the modded stocked 1.8.3 with unlocked bootloader). Can I flash back the stock 1.8.3 (original one) after using your file ?

Hope your reply soon
Thank you very much,
Quang

If you're on the OTA zip... just stay... you've already got a STOCK ROM.

After inputing the command everything seems to be fine. Upon rebooting the phone said unable to boot starting RSD mode. I am currently flashing to 1.8.3 with rsd lite. Any idea why that happened before I try again?

Did you do all of the commands?
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
moto-fastboot flash system system.img
moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot

Tks Ken,
How about the possibility of flash back to 1.8.3 ? Can I back after using your file ? If I can, can I upgrade to your file without hard brick my phone ?
Noting that your file is more completed than flashable ZIP file (more img files)

One more thing, after using your file, can I use OTA when AT&T officially announces the final one ?

Best regards,
Quang

Err, Just downloaded the zip file, found got
boot.img
data.img
radio.img
system.img
webtop.img
5 imgs, do I need to flash them all to get a complete system, or just need to flash boot.img, system.img and webtop.img?

Thanks
