You can finally unbrick your phone if you somehow messed up the update OR if you simply messed around with your rooted phone too much and something went wrong.

However, understand that this will take you to the leaked software (the update that was originally posted here), so there still may be no to accept the official OTA when it drops. But at least anyone who has bricked their phone for any reason can now unbrick it with very usable software.

Here's the link, I suggest getting it while you can:

[RSD/Flashable] RSD v5.4.3 and Stock 5.5.184 fastboot partitions/flashable zip - xda-developers
 
(fresh thread for you on that one, kishin ;))

Thanks Frisco. BTW, I also started a similar thread in the root section since many of the folks that would require these files are those that did something wrong while or after they rooted their D3s.

Also, TBH is apparently hard at work on some type of fix/file/update that will allow those that applied the leak to roll back to completely stock software. Nice.
