J/K I do not endorse violence.

If it's about Moto or VZW, I endorse violence in excess.

BTW, just went from 232 to 246. As always, flawless HoB performance. Thanks very much for all the time and hard work.

/me is staying on .247. As I said in anothe thread, I'll just have to settle for being more current than current

Besides, the FXZ for .246 should be around before Christmas, so I can wait...

[superbalde]

Edit, never mind fixed it thanks to this thread. Just needed to slow down and read more carefully. Thanks everyone!

Ok ive never used hob but i am on 247 and would like to do as sam says and downgrade i know you have to uninstall safestrap but im using safestrap 3 what will happen to my rom slots should i delete them or just uninstall ss3 i know uninstalling ss3 does do anything to your slots as i just upgraded it and afteruninstallung and reinstalling the new build they where fine but i guess what im asking is will hob affect the slots

The new SS uses the internal memory which isn't touched when using HoB I believe. Older SS would use the preinstall partition which used to get flashed during the process. Your room slots should be safe after HoB. Just reinstall SS afterwards and and run it. If you want to wait I can confirm tomorrow when I downgrade back to 246. Going to bed now lol.

I'm waiting for the Nexus phones to see what my options will be.

Same here about the Nexus. Anyways my question is why should we go to.246 I'm currently on .247 on the safe side. What's the benefit in getting .246? Most likely my bionic will be getting crushed as soon as i figure out the nexus phones worst case i keep this thing if nothing good comes out because the devs are giving it life that it never had. Thanks for info in advance and thanks for HoB

Flawless upgrade from 905 to 246 a few weeks ago. Flawless upgrade from 246 to 247 a few days after that. Flawless downgrade from 247 to 246. HOB has made this a piece of cake...the latest version is amazing! Thank you sam for making this SO EASY!

One note to those who are considering this....yes...HOB makes it easy. But you still need to read the FAQ through a few times AND make sure you follow directions. It's worth the extra bit of time.

I see the OP was updated regarding the Verizon OTA release of 246 but does the posted link to download the 246 version come from the 246 leak or the actual verizon OTA 246? In other words, do we know that the 246 will match the verizon OTA version exactly?

So I just went from 232 to 246 using HoB. I was assuming that the 246 update ZIP came from the actual OTA but I guess I understand now that it came from the original 246 leak. So, now I'm wondering if I just flashed a version that may not be the actual OTA version because Verizon reported the wrong version of OTA when they last pushed one out. And if 246 is the correct version as Verizon reported what are the chances that the OTA version of 246 will match the leaked 246 exactly?

[MrBucket85]

I haven't used a HoB script before so I want to make sure I have everything straight before I take the plunge and need to sort everything out the fun labor intensive way.

When I go through the prompts and it says "WARNING: This step is optional ONLY if you manually copy the update to your sdcard-ext" is the assumption that I've already put the 246 update on the root of my sdcard? Or is this asking me something else? I'm probably just reading it the wrong way but is the yes or no prompt asking me if I would like it to perform the transfer or if I've already made the transfer?

Big thanks to Sam for putting this all together and to whoever posts an answer for me.

[SamuriHL]

If you copied the update zip by hand (manually) to your sdcard-ext then you can skip that step. Otherwise you must let it transfer the update.

[srmason6]

is the 246 update in your HOB script, exactly the same as the OTA soak test being pushed today?

[SamuriHL]

I have no idea since my request for someone to pull the update before installing it hasn't happened yet. I have someone looking for it with cheesecake but so far no luck there either. I've been trying since last night to verify the build to no avail so far.

[srmason6]

If I FXZ back to 905, i am in the soak test, but will lose data, yada yada, but I should be able to post it by not applying it, just downloading, correct??

[SamuriHL]

You'd need to be rooted.

Confirmed that the build pushing out is the same I have posted. You may all relax and get your asses on 246 now.
