[ICS Leak] DROID 4 Build 6.16.211 (Received June 18th)

FYI, I just finished flashing .219 and here is a screenshot of the errors I got when I did that. This is what it SHOULD look like. Maybe we can post a FAQ?

Did you get root?

Well this is interesting... it's the first time I got the same error as you when using the root method.

If they did block the root method in 212 at least we can go back to 211 and have root.

How would we go back to 211?

Hold on guys, I think I got root. Confirming in a second...

This is the screenie but it closes after this so you have to read it quickly.

Same way we move up to another leak, just use the older files (211 kernel and 211 update). I don't know if anyone has done it but a few people said it's possible.

Sure did! dancedroid

I'm glad root still works, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of setting up my phone again after I just finished doing it. Can you guys let us know if there are any worthwhile improvements on 212 over 211?

FYI, the first time I did it, it gave me the errors. So I deleted the unzipped files and extracted the root method files again fresh. I disconnected the phone, reconnected it and set it to Camera mode. I then ran the batch file again and this time, it worked.

Sweet .... look like the kernel and radio are the same as 211. Wonder what they changed.

I'm not sure we'll know what improvements they made. I had a whopping 24 hours with .211 to determine what was changed from .208, and didn't notice anything.

Maybe if you guys list some of the shortcomings of your latest leak, I can test those out and see if they were fixed.

 

[orangechoochoo]

I didn't really notice any changes either. If the radio and kernel are the same as 211 and there is no noticeable change I'll probably just stick with 211. But being a flash-oholic I'll probably do it.

If any of you are thinking about making the jump again. Over on the thread in my signature "1989trouble87" suggested a couple of changes to the script for the fastboot GB step to keep your data. I haven't tried it yet.

Can you make those changes?
