Is it possible at this point to reflash the stock rom?
Not that I know of. I know chucklehead on rootzwiki fully bricked his phone and VZ couldn't restore it for him, had to get a replacement.
The sbf file isnt available in store or leaked yet.

Hello, I just came from the bolt today.. never had a motorola before so this locked boot loader is new to me..
I really want to flash a Droid theory ROM as I'm used to his work from previous phones but I can't find one based on .886... Do I have to use this cheesecake thing to download .893 in order to flash a ROM based on .893 or would it run ok on .886?
I'm pretty sure I need to update to .893 but I'm gonna hold off for the real ota..just hoping I can somehow use a ROM built off it..

I'm running Th3ory Shift3r and have not updated to .893. Just posted a screenshot in the Screenshot thread of it.
You think it's just that ROM or would all of them work?

U don't have to update. The custom rom is built on the 893 system files. NOT the full update that also updates the kernel and radio, etc. U can safely flash the theory rom. When I decide to restore back to stock using one of the fastboot restore to stock method s u will be 100% back to stock. The custom roms do not update the kernel or radio so there is no risk at all of taking u off the ota update path. Flash away

I've flashed Theory (both Shifter and Purity), Eclipse, and Liberty. Never had to update to the leak.
Awesome thanks guys!

I need the xt862 5.5.959 firmware so I can flash my DROID 3 to stock for rooting issues. Someone please help
To restore to stock 5.5.890 follow this guide. Could not find one where you can restore to .959
MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED.

Why 5.5. and not 5.6.xxx?
5.6.890 offers the same root-ablility.. just SBF back to 5.6.890.

890 doesnt allow me to connect to pc with the wie i have. And i cant afford to buy the moto stock wire(BILLS).
I'm currently running theory ROM with 893, I want to update to 902 can I do that
While using theory ROM? If not what am I supposed to be running to do so? Also I deleted some bloatware I heard this might be a problem is there a way to get them back "honestly I forgot which ones they where" I been reading alot of post but I can't find any good info

I've never used a rom, but my guess is you'll need to return to stock like everyone else. pick your poison and read some more.
RSD Lite method
PathSaver method
You will need to install the 4ever root patch after root, before going up.
Thanks for the help I was about to just update while on theory haha..

Hello,
I Have bricked my Droid bionic while it was on the 238 ICS leak and I was hoping someone may be able to help. Unfortunately, my friend was helping me and try to flash it back to 902. As we all know and as he found out, that bricked the phone pretty badly. Is it toast now or can I save this thing?
Thanks
I once had the same thing happen to my Droid X. I tried to go back to a previous version from a leak and couldn't fix it. Not even the people at the Verizon store I took it to could fix it. They set me up with a warranty replacement because they thought it was caused by a virus or something. I was lucky. Of course now I keep my phone insured, just in case.
Try this. It may help you get back up and running.

Note: ics leaks from version .235 and higher can NEVER go back to GB (.902 or .905)

every post involving 235+ typically comes with giant red wording that states... eh no use now :sly:

What kind of forum is this? What do you mean you can't see my phone through the interwebs...
This is what you needed to have done prior to the push to .246
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810373
You could use root checker from the play store for free to verify that you are not rooted but it should have cleared your root once you FXZ'ed back to .905
there really is not a lot of detail to it, i have unfrozen everything and used voodoo to unroot and it fails
are you on .902? .905? ICS leak?
Do you have bootstrap or safestrap installed? If so, that will prevent you from being able to update.

Are you getting any kind of error? Of so what is it? Where is it happening?

Voodoo does more than just plan old root. I recommend going back to 905 via RSD. I actually rooted my 905 fxz restore (using motofail by drjbliss) before installing the OTA, and it installed fine.
Something Voodoo or some other root app did is causing the OTA pre-install checks to fail. Backup with TiB and fxz back is the fastest way to get your 246 fix.
help?
So I go to system updates and it tells me I am up to date. (I FXZed to .905 and am unrooted) Has the update not been pushed out to everyone yet? and if not were can I find it?
I went to the unsafe partition running. 905 and found no updates. I presume they are sending it out in stages.

It's not been push to the general public yet. If you're not part of the soak you'll have to find it elsewhere. Scroll back a few posts. There is a link to the file in here somewhere. You may also find it posted in another thread. I'm sure XDA's Bionic users are all over it

Dang, I must have misunderstood the article I read about it releasing today, The link in this thread is how to FXZ back to 905, Do you have any idea where I could find the soak update? I have been searching for awhile, also will it will hold root though the manual update?

I believe Sam has it up on his site . The .246 should be the same as what is being pushed, but don't take my word for it. He will probably post here.
Forget the soak. Motorola just announced ICS on their Facebook page and its rolling out this weekend.

Yep, they usually roll out the public OTA within a few days of the private soak test. Or you can search for the 246 leak. It's the same zip.

I used samurai's hob and it worked great. Same as the official ota. No need to wait.
So if I download zip from HoB I wont have to flash back to something later on to get the fabled JB update?

If you stay on .246 you are on the update path.
