[ROM] [R3]BLURR3D V2.0 PBX MOTO Kernel (10/22/2011)

[gmorgan056]

For some folks it seems to solve the issue totally and for others - not. I ended up in the "not" group. I did however do the following and am seeing much improvement: Possible Data Loss Fix - RootzWiki

I have not been able to test it fully, but I can say that after doing the fix listed in the link above, even thought the fix seems counter intuitive to me personally, my phone now hands off from wifi to 3G instantaneously. Prior to this "fix" it would take 3G 5-10 seconds to reestablish itself. I'm going to be in a 4G area shortly and will test that hand-off then.

Another plus, of less importance, is that the camera is much, much better. Also, folks are reporting much better battery performance. And this one may be true. I just checked my phone. It has been off charger for 5.75 hours and it's at 94% (medium/light use - lots of emails, 30-40 minutes of tapatalk, limited Dolphin Browser and a few short phone calls). For me and my phone (BTW - standard battery), that's pretty darn good.

Good luck.

Thanks! I'll try the suggestion of pulling the SIM Card first. If that doesn't work then i'll forever root and apply the update. Thanks guys!

thinking about fastbooting back to stock and doing the forever root... i was thinking about waiting on the next update ... 2.1? but may just try to see if i get the ota from VZ , planned on "installing later" so that i could find the zip and stripping it for for us, where would i find it if it does infact download? anyone ? then i could either go back to 2.0 or wait on the 2.1 update.

If you forever root you can update via ota worth no issues as long as you do the forever root script correctly then do as you wish from there

aye, that is what i gathered... but hearing that the real ota has been soaked out early, was thinking if i got it i might dl it and cliq apply later so that it is saved to my phone where i might be able to pull it and supply it to the crew?

So have any of you guys who've updated noticed better data connection? That's the only problem I'm having and if the update isn't helping, i'll hold off.

After the.893 I'm having handoff issues with going from WIFI to 3G and back and forth. Gonna try the fix posted on rootzwiki.

Wow. What settings are you using? Mine's been off the charger for 9h 44m and i've talked for about 5 mins on one phone call and done nothing else besides check my facebook a few times and I'm at 49%. That's BS.

well, fastbooted back to stock, checked for ota update and "your system is up to date" , lol so re rooting and going back to 2.0 until 2.1 here's to hoping it will be soon, im always enjoying the updates, like fine wine, it keeps getting better with time
i am going to hold off on the cupcake and kernel/radio upgrade however, think i'll see what the main stream comes up with, im sure we will get the ota nov hacked and avail soon...
THanks to all of the DEVS , for all you do and the crew here is the best!!!

That doesn't sound right. Did you do the forever root and cheesecake method?

My family and myself are in Alabama (we have had no Verizon outages or issues) I think this is why we are seeing the possible update as an early onset as a test of there LTE network. (We have been on LTE for months and its not listed or talked about). At this time I can vouch for 10 Bionics upgraded as of yesterday and today. I played around with 2 of them and I can't see any real changes to speak of. I noticed some GUI changes but nothing major. Sorry I don't have more Info to give out at this time. I also want to say again that the OTA we all have been snagging off Motorola has to be the official one there going to release as the numbers off mine matched Both my Nieces and My Moms Bionics today.

For those of us who jumped on board with the Premature OTA I think we are good.:icon_ banana:

So lets say I wanted to do forever root. Can I create a backup for everything I have now, revert to stock, do the whole forever root thing, then reload my back up and have everything saved and the way it was before I went back to stock?

That worked for one person who posted above but I think you're better off just reinstalling everything. As said above, you may be OK restoring app data but system data may be dicey as may be a full rom restore.

I personally don't see why a full ROM restore wouldn't work it's just the same 2.0 over the .893 updates.

I am going to agree. It should work, its just a Full ROM restore over the .893 updates (Radios and Battery usage)

So do you think ill be fine if I create a back up in clockwork recovery and then select that after I do the modification for forever root and then return to clockwork recovery?
And also, after I go back to stock, will I be able to redownload bionic bootstrap for free since Ive already purchased it? Cuz im assuming ill need it to revert to my backup correct?
