Hello everyone, sorry my first post is begging for help, but here I am!
I originally had 5.7.893 (I believe it was 7 and not 5, it was the last official OTA) and I was having crazy data issues so I downloaded 5.5.901 and installed that. Everything was working perfectly so I should have left everything alone.
But I didn't. I wanted to be rooted.
So I went and followed the instructions at h t t p ://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-bionic-forum/10577-bionic-path-saver-1-click-method.html with no luck at all, I was still on .901 with no root.
Then I went to h t t p ://rootzwiki.com/topic/14074-easy-way-to-update-to-901-rooted/ and I thought I got closer because I got 5.5.886 rooted. Then when I tried to do the OTA back to .893 (at this point I'm not sure if it was supposed to be 5.5.893 or 5.7.893; I've been at this for 5 hours at this point), the OTA software update failed. Tried it twice, failed both times.
So, here I am, on 5.5.886, rooted, and the worst part is that I have no signal. When it came back up after one of the many reboots, it went to the usual "touch the android to begin," so I did, and it got stuck on the please wait screen indefinitely. I had to reboot to bring it back up so I could bypass it (touching the four corners).
Scratch the signal issue!!
Just did one more Bionic Path Saver 1 Click. It actually seems to have taken the update to 5.5.893, which was previously giving an error message about assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot etc. Then it came up with a cdt error which that forum has a 901fix.bat file that I ran to reboot the phone out of it. Seems like I am indeed now booted up in 5.5.893 and I lost root.
Does anyone have any advice for me to get .901 and root? I've been at this for 5 hours reading every page of those forums I linked to above in addition to multiple other forums relating to issues that people were having similar to mine. I tried everything they seemed to recommend (I believe I posted everything I tried here, but again, I'm tired after 5 hours and I need to head to sleep, so I may have missed something).
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
