Hideakikarate said:I'm in the same situation as voodoo. Still on .894, so I tried to do the factory reset option, after creating the backup, of course, and after running rootkeeper. So I rebooted past the safestrap screen and the startup sequence began...and began again...and again...and again. So now I'm pulling another factory reset and installing the backup I had made. Any idea what went wrong? I rebooted the phone too after the wipe and still no luck. .894 has been dropping data much more frequently, so I would really appreciate any help. Also, just like voodoo, pretty rusty at the whole rooting scene, so...noob friendly, please.
Finally got everything back up and running. Wasn't as nice as I had hoped. Used RSDlite to get it done. Problem using that method led me to accidentally delete my rootkeeper file and titanium backup file because my phone saved everything to the internal memory by default. Just aheads up to other people having trouble.
Eye-dea you have been very helpful to others i was hoping you could answer a question for me... I ran into some problems way back when the forever root method came about and the new update i believe was .901 maybe it was .902... anyhow i remember you had to load .893 then .901 etc then i ended up with kinect. Is there a newer rom that i am missing or should be running? under my about phone settings it says i am system 5.8.894. XT875. build nnumber [K] Kin3ctx v1.0 The only reason why i am concerned is that my buddy's non rooted bionic is running much smoother and faster than mine... this erks me seeing I thought i did wonders to my phone rooting etc. but with th enew update his phone is awesome and mine is great but just wondering if i have missed something. I jumped ship after i thought i killed my phone and it took 9 hours with someone helping me through google chat to fix it... I have safestrap but who knows what back up i have there...
I can definitely help you out. On kinetx, your seeing 5.8.894 because that is the system version it was developed on. However, it was patched to run with the 90x radios. The newest official OTA is 905 and you have to be on 902 to take 905. I can help you get to 902 (if needed) and to 905. However, you will need to reflash either kinetx again or a new ROM.
If you use gtalk, please PM me your gmail address and I will walk ya through everything.
you helped me before but now that there is the new 905 update I dont know how to get it. My son has a bionic, stock, and already got the 905. I assume I havent because Im off the upgrade path yet again. I have rooted 902 with kinetx, but shows 894 because of that reason. So how would I get to 905, or is it even worthwhile, should I just wait for ICS?
