5.5.5.893 FXZ .901/.902 compatible and.902 update

Certified tested an working new 5.5.893 fxz file for the .902 update so if you have bricked ur phone/want to remove root on your .902/.901 updated phone or you cant get the .902 update to install due to unknown errors or just having problems in general. You can now flash this fxz file to put your phone back to 5.5.893 unbrick your phone or apply the .902 update and it has fixed over an estimated 300 Bionics so far. For those that previously installed the .901 an went to .902 with the 23 mb patch you no longer have to do that because after you flash the phone the full .902 update will be able to install. So with further ado here are the steps (YOU MUST FOLLOW THE STEPS OR YOU WILL BRICK THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR PHONE I have had personal experience if you need my assistance my hours of avalibility Mondays 12 pm -6 pm and 2:30 am to 6 am Tuesday-Friday 2 pm - 8pm and 2:30 am to 6 am Saturday and Sunday 2pm -6 am pacific time)

CAUTION: THIS WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE SO BE SURE TO BACK UP BEFORE HAND. you will lose root once you flash either .886 or .893 FXZ file an must use the exploit to get it back. Make sure you are in charge only an USB debugging is selected when rooting.

Step 1 download rds lite 5.6 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784077&d=1321414457
(you may have to run rds lite in xp compatibility mode for some windows operating systems)

Step 2 download the latest moto drivers if you dont have them

Step 3 Download the FXZ File from here NEWVRZ_XT875_5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download

Step 4 download the .902 update from here an move to sdcard http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...update file.&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13287066052423

Step 5 open RDS Lite and boot phone into ap fastboot ( Makes sure you have at least 80% battery life and a reliable usb port if flash fails at 1/22 or for .886 1/15 find a different port or a different computer)

Step 6 click the browse button on rds Lite an find the 5.5.893 FXZ zip file that you downloaded an click uncompress and flash. the entire process will take at least 20-25 minutes (you must leave your phone plugged in untill the status on rds lite says finished. so when you start this just walk away an leave it alone or risk bricking your phone) p.s it will say in the last stages to manually reboot your phone just ignore it an it will go away in 60 sec.

Step 7 download and apply the .893/.886 exploit to root and forever root your phone here is the link tehRoot v1.1.zip - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download or ROTA893.ZIP - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download(if you dont want to root your phone skip step 7. I aslo deleted the driver files in the script since they are out dated so select option 3 when it asks you to install the drivers)

Step 8 reboot into recovery an and apply the .902 update that you downloaded an moved to your sdcard ( if you have rolled back to .886 an wish to update to .893 you must download an pull the update from your cache an replace the CDT file with this new one (cdt.bin - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download)before applying the update. You will not have to do this with the 902 update. Do not put the modified .893 update back in to the cache side load any update so I can get the error code from you if it fails for trouble shooting purposes . Also if you get a cdt error for some unexplained reason you can fix it by downloading this file (FixCDT.zip - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download )an then tada your done dancedroid

Optional step 9 The cheesecake apk can be downloaded here cheesecakev2.apk - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download(I will add support to the FXZ files for any leaked updates but the FXZ Files will not put you back on the upgrade path if you have applied any leaked updates that will not become official OTAs)

".902
rooting exploit" For those that are on .902 an lost root with the help of rck76 and
jbroom we have found a rooting exploit for the .902 update we take no credit for this exploit so enjoy. you can download it here motofail_windows.zip - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download

".886 FXZ Alternative
" I have created a 5.5.886 FXZ file that is compatible with the .893 FXZ/.893 update and .901/.902 update plus both 5.5.886 and 5.5.893 FXZ files can be flash over one another interchangeably without errors. This FXZ is for those who wish to return to 5.5.886 or are having problems with rooting or errors with the 5.5.893 FXZ do to prior scripts being run and then flashing the 5.5.893 FXZ over them. If you have applied any script prior to Flashing the 5.5.893 FXZ and it failed(Ex. bionic pathsaver or Dhackers forever root/restore) you must use the 5.5.886 FXZ. Because any other/listed rollback scripts you have run are incompatible with my 5.5.893 FXZ file an will brick your phone or will block root access. All you have to do is download the FXZ file from here (NEWVRZ_XT875_5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip - *********** - online file sharing and storage - download) an follow the same steps as you would with the 5.5.893 FXZ

P.S I will be adding support to these fxz files for the next update that rolls out but hopefully the new update will be ICS

Please leave feedback on this thread to let people know that these are working FXZ files thank you :biggrin:

thought I would add a little humor to this post:icon_ banana:


So after step 6 coming from .902 rooted, do I have to re apply the .902 update or can I stay on .893 and accept the ota?
 
I do have an issue, my battery is dead and I can't run it. Do I have to charge the battery via the wall charger or the USB port to charge? If worse come to worse, I will buy a battery charger accessory to charge then place onto the phone so at least I'll have a full charge to run the program. Let me know, thanks.

Wall charger is better as USB charging is wimpier.

It depends, did your battery die during flashing it or is it just dead? The battery will not charge while the phone is in fastboot, that's why we're instructed to start with at least 80% battery life. If it died during the flash you have no option but to buy a wall charger and charge the battery out of the phone. If its just a dead battery charge it up normally then follow instructions to flash.

Am i missing something. Ive been reading majority of the post. People having same issues. OTA .902 will not take via this method. Why not go from scratch and use the R3l3ASD ROOT technique since majority are starting from a fresh anyways. Ive used it since OTA .886 and have not had a issue installing new updates. Ive had OTA .902 since Thursday. Doing the force OTA updates will get you into trouble as in getting errors. Since thursday with the .902 ive notice no issues. I guess ive been lucky compared some have reported all kinds of issues. 1cent opinion:icon_ lala:

reason so people were failing the .902 update is becuase they ran P3droids pathsaver/R3l3ASD an either bricked there phone or it didnt work an tried flashing the .893 fxz to fix it making it worse thats why i posted the compatible .886 version
 

".902
rooting exploit" For those that are on .902 an lost root with the help of rck76 and
jbroom we have found a rooting exploit for the .902 update we take no credit for this exploit so enjoy.

! WORKED !

I tried to find more information on this exploit but was unable to so I just went ahead and tried it. It didn't seem to work at first. I opened ES File manager and clicked on the root explorer option and got the failed message. On previous re-rooting problems I was able to get it working by manually installing superuser.apk from the market however this time it was already updated to the latest version. I just clicked on open then closed it and tried ES agin. This time superuser access was granted.
 
Awesome! Also is the FXZ in this thread the same as the one that was widely released awhile back? Also do you know if you can fxz to .893 from stock .902?
no the FXZ is not the same as the one released a while back it is a modified FXZ an it is compatible with the following builds .893/.901/.902 and the .886 FXZ provided in my thread not the out of the box stock .886 since the files dont match but very few people still have .886 version if any at all
 
What was modified?

...and btw members must sign up to 4share in order to download this???
 
CDT.bin, Recovery.img, system.img and boot.img
tried to create a universal FXZ but for some reason i am running into a wall with trying to FXZ an out of the box .886 system version with my FXZ files its the only monkey i have left to work out then when ICS comes out i will be creating an FXZ to return u back to GB if ur on the ICS update
