ok, ok, i made my point...

the OP in this thread claims that he installed 5.8.894, and that it does not block forever root.

 

[OutOfPhase]

we will see soon enough if this is the OTA. It would be great if was and did not block root.

Hey guys, I can confirm that this latest OTA does NOT patch root...

I was able to upgrade to 5.8.894 from stock w/ forever root, NOTHING modified in system; same scenario as the OP from XDA.


New Kernel / Radio versions

Baseband/Radio: CDMA_N_03.1C.57R LTEDC_U_05.15.03

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-g68606e6

did you use the cheese cake method? What update were you on before you flashed 5.8.894? Do you have the update to upload.

Yes, I used cheesecake to download/install the update. I was originally on stock Blur_Version.5.5.886.XT875


I would be more than happy to upload the 5.8.894 update, do you know where this is saved when you perform an OTA update? Couldn't locate it on sdcard.. Thanks

 

[OutOfPhase]

It is in the /cache on the root of your sd-card(internal). Use root explorer to find it.

 

[Tiedgen]

Unfortunately, I did not find it in the cache. In fact, I searched the entire contents of the phone with no success.

Once the update process is complete, I assume the system deletes the file from cache, is this true?

I believe this to be true from personal experience.

So is this still the latest leak still or is this the official OTA update rolling out?

It is the latest update taken from cheesecake, but no confirmation on whether it will be the official OTA "Soak Test" update.

Here's the update in case anyone wants to play around
Blur_Version.5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip

Is there a procedure for this? I'm trying to come from stock w/ 5.7.893 and it aborted.

i tried this on 5.5 and on 5.7 and both aborted... anyone with insight on getting this to work on 5.7, tired on flashing stock lol

 

[mlapaglia]

it only works coming from complete stock (radio/webtop/kernel, the whole package), until someone with the know how can create some different updates for us.

That just totally sucks... Come on all the big brains at this stuff. I know it's turkey day, but work some majic.

 

[mlapaglia]

From reading we'll have to wait until a full rom is released, not just an incremental patch update.

 

[johnlgalt]

Actually, from what I've been seeing, extracting only applicable parts makes it easy enough to make a partial update. But the problem with that ideas a partial well mean only the system, not radio, baseband, etc.

Let me look around and get back to this thread tonight.
