Root On .893.. Want to upgrade..

[DatacomGuy]

I'm rooted on .893 and i want to flash one of the latest leaks.

I have a bunch of bloatware removed or frozen.

What is the best process, without forcing me to reinstall each and every one? I want to just start from scratch.

Will this process get it done?

you can flash the modified 5.9.905 fxz file in http://androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/480176-how-flash-5-9-902-5-9-905-rsdlite.html

it will put you on stock 5.9.905 with all your data saved. you will loose root but that is fine because once you flash a ics leak (i sugest 6.7.232) you can use razors_edge to reroot.

once you flash the modified file follow from step 12 on in the link you posted.

Beautiful. I'm at 905 now.. was pretty simple. Going to flash 6.7.232.

I have a blur file i found. It's flashed in recovery right? Not rsd..?

Correct. Since you're flashing a .232 file, verify the MD5 of it first. It should be


MD5: E002C1650F0F73C5BE8543ACF1329CBC

I bypassed activation the first time around..

..how do I get it back?

EDIT: Disregard, its fine.

Can't get USB working right though, so struggling to root.

Several things to check:

• Are you using the cable that came with the phone?
• Are you using a USB 2 port and not a USB 3 port?
• Do you have USB debugging enabled?

Yep, all good here. I think there is something wrong with the usb interface on my phone. It's always given me problems.

I finally got it to work after messing with it for a few hours. Finally.
