I had a similar problem. I had to use r3l3ased and forever root, then path saver.

Had the same problem. I have narrowed it down to either a bootstrap issue or one of the mods I used in the past. I used R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R Root before doing 2 separate OTA's, one to get back to 893 than the next to 902. It takes some time, sure, but it worked. I'm now waiting for my apps to reinstall.

I tried to go into stock recovery just a sec ago. and when i click vol up to select it . i get an exclamation point with the android guy below it? anyone know why this is happening or what i can do? thanks guys

derp soory i figure it out. i forgot you are supposed to hit vol up and down at the same time

I had similar issues getting a corrupted file. So I ended up going back to stock 893 using the fxz and rsd lite. That put me back to true factory setup, and back on the OTA wagon. So I forever rooted and took the update direct from Verizon and let the phone update itself. Now "poof" running rooted 902.

I had a similar issue, I did a hard reset of my phone, and updated fine afterwards.

ROOTED AND 4EVER ROOTED MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IF YOU WANT ROOT[I always root stock instead of .893 fnr(for no reason)]
BOOT INTO STOCK RECOVERY
FIRST FLASH .893: http://db.tt/vfNEdVdf
THEN .902: http://db.tt/g0gm69Hq
REBOOT
enjoi
If your already on .893 just flash .902 in STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM
FOR SUPER NOOBS
Flashing to stock
Extract the flashme.zip to the desktop
Open RSD Lite and click on the ... symbol
In the box, go to desktop and choose "default_flash_targa"

I did unr3l3as3droot and forever root first. Then I did the path saver. Then I flashed 896 and 901. After that, I downloaded the 902 ota but didn't install it. Moved it from /cache to the external SD card. Then I turned the phone off. To turn it back on, I hit both volume up and down as I powered it back on. That took me to a different menu that I can't currently think of the name but that is where you will flash 902 at. Remember that the 902 update has 901 in its file name when flashing. If you come across a triangle thing, hit volume up and down and the update will flash.

Easier root method...
There is an easier way then this now...
1. Install update
2. Use the Droid 4 exploit found at vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/ and yes it works for the Bionic on 5.9.902 (i just got done using it)
3. Look at your phone.... its now rooted.

And everyone who uses it should donate to djrbliss and prove that the Android community can support such a valuable asset!

I just did the OTA over wireless and did the update and I kept ROOT.
I did un-froze all the apps I had frozen with titanium backup before applying the update.
Still have root...

In my case, the update wouldn't install. I had to go all the way back before I could go forward.

If you lose root during the update, see here to get it back.

Need help going back to stock

I have a bionic that i system updated to 5.9.902 a couple days after i got it. Then i made the mistake of coming here and messing up my phone because i have no idea what I'm doing
I installed safestrap and did the whole noob step by step guide. Installed eclipse and a couple other roms. For some reason i wiped my internal and external storage. I have no backups of anything.
I've tried releasedroot, petes, rds lite with the 902 xml. I got stuck all the time with what seemed to be a driver issue.
I just want to return this thing to stock and stop messing with it
As of now when I press power i go straight to ap fast boot flash failure screen. I press power to power off and hold vol up and down to boot into recovery but just pick the normal boot option. Phone then boots into what seems to be my stock 902. I dont know if im rooted anymore.
If i could rid my phone of this flash failure and safestrap, i would be stupid happy
Anyone out there willing to help a total noob? If any more info is needed I'd be happy to provide

What error did you receive using rsdlite?
When you go into your phone settings..can you verify your on 902?

I'm at work now but it was some sort of usb failure. It got stuck on 1/22 mbm something.
Yes as of right now im on 902.
Is there a tutorial on how to completely remove usb drivers? Even though rsdlite says I'm connected, I don't see my phone drivers in device manager. That's where I think I'm going wrong but not really sure.

Mind sharing where you found it? I'm finding links but not sure which is right. I'd rather just use whatever you used since I know it will work.

uggghhhh. I was just going to use OTA Rootkeeper but ever since I updated to .905 my adb does not work. My phone will not mount to the computer at all, it won't read my SD Card, only charge the phone. So I tried to fix it by flashing a FXZ through RSDLite, because that fixed it last time it happened 6 months ago, and it didn't work. So I'm just going to install the update, and hopefully it will fix my adb. If not, I have no clue how I'm going to root this ******* phone!!! its so frustrating! If anyone knows of a way that I could edit some rooting script to connect through adb wireless, please let me know. I would even be willing to pay someone like ten or fifteen bucks if they could give me a working script to root through adb wireless, or some other way, which I've never heard of.

Please let us know where you found the motofail-ics download that you used. Also, did you just have usb debugging checked or did you need to check other options as well?

motofail ics failed for me
Just hot a replacement bionic in the mail and am about to send back my rooted 2.3.4 running eclipse 3.0. I updated the replacement w 4.0.4 and tried the wonderfully simplified motofail ics, usb debugged (not in mtp mode) it recognized device, started daemon, then stalled out for 20 min....? I unplugged read up some more switched to mtp mode and now it claims its waiting for device to be ready..... i am a unlimited data grandfather who relies on my unlocked wifi tether.... any guidance?!

How did you update to ICS? Over the air update? I ask because if you updated it via FXZ and Fastboot mode with RSD Lite, then what I'm about to suggest is moot. But if you took the OTA update, then it makes more sense.
I'm betting that either your computer doesn't have the right Moto drivers on them, or that you're plugging it into a bad port. They can be finicky.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993
Grab the USB drivers mentioned in step (4).
Then make sure that you're plugging your phone into a USB port on the back of your computer, not an external USB hub. Also don't plug it into USB 3.0. This may not actually be the issue but I accidentally used my USB 3.0 port once to Motofail and it didn't work at all. If you already tried one of the back ports, or are on a laptop, just try another port.

MrChupon is spot on. I had the exact same problem until i went Motorola and grabbed the very latest drivers. Worked like a champ after that.

It was over the air, from a fresh stock VZW replacement. For what ever unknown reason it stalled out once it started daemon..... I pre maturely ejected it, and I think it left the device in a partial state, and when reattempting in my 2.o port it was confused and left me hanging.... so in my sleep i decided to try a factory reset to flush the cache so to say and motofail proved to be a fantastic success! (Using my wifi right now thanks to some sqlite value adjustments! Thanks for the wisdom and words regardless!

[Q] cant install any custom rom

I have a Verizon HTC One HBOOT 1.54 with S-OFF Unlocked boot loader and SUID but every rom i try boot loops at start screen only thing i can do is restore backup os. I did do full wipe every time. Driving me crazy i want to install Android Revolution HD 22.0 but no go. Also tryed 4.0 and insert coin all boot loop and never load.

Is it the firmware? Verizon is still on 4.2.2 and those roms are 4.3.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

You can NOT flash GSM roms. You need to flash Verizon specific roms. And if your device is anything like a Sprint One, flashing a GSM Rom probably messed some stuff up. If it did you'll need to RUU, that is if Verizon has an RUU.

You don't flash an RUU in recovery mode, you flash it in fastboot.
