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 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 decided to start using my old revolution as a backup phone. It is basically a brand new refurbished replacement they sent me a while back that I've never used. When I go to update it to gingerbread it says that there isn't an update available. I'm just wondering if Verizon pulled the update when they ended its life and is there any way I can still root it and and install a gingerbread rom on it without first updating to gingerbread? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to be on gingerbread to install a gingerbread ROM or you'll brick your phone, it's a complete pain in the ass to fix so I wouldn't try it. There are instructions to manually update to gb in the dev section if you have access to a pc...

Use RSDLite to FXZ back to 902 w/o ROOT then you can go wherever you want to... :cyclops:
Thank you, where can I find the 902 file?

This thread is in the wrong forum. Should be in Q&A. Second:
902 Bionic Pathsaver
A little googling goes a long way.
BTW I'm on a mac so I've never used RSDLite, so there ya go. Pathsaver.
Thank you

Moved to Q and A. Please spell check what you write from here on out.
Hey VeNuM, you didn't edit the 1st replier's quote. It still has that offensive word in it. >.>
Hi I'm new to the forum and I have some questions. hopefuly I'm in the right area.
Ok #1 so I own a bionic and I've had it about 10 months now. Should I wait for the new ics then root or should I just root now?
#2 What are the pros and cons of rooting the bionic? I still own the orginal droid and its rooted and it was a bada$$ phone. I just want to know if it will be the same with the bionic.
#3 If i root can anybody point me to a good root program? I've been searching and found motofail and petes root tool. Are these any good?
Thanks to anybody that can help
You can root using motofail if on the .902 or .905 update petes method works on prior versions. If u install a ics leak you can also root with razor edges method.

Motofail is easy as hell to root the Bionic with. There is a special edition of Motofail (only root program period) that worked for my Bionic running ICS. I say if you are willing to tinker. Install ICS .232 and than root.
Thanks man. How do I get my hands on the ICS leak?? Every time I find it the link says error nothing here.

Hi, I just bought a Droid Bionic running 2.3.4 and I have been searching up how to root it. I figured out that I need the MotorolaOneClickRoot tool to do it, but every time I try to download it the link is dead. Can anyone give me a good link to download it and if possible, send me the steps to rooting it as I am still not good at this kind of stuff. Thanks in advance.

Google "House of Bionic"
Follow directions on site and you will be good.

I searched it up and I read a bunch of stuff on it. I know I sound stupid, but I'm still confused on what it is and he doesn't give steps for newbies on how to get it. He uses lots of terms that I don't know of. Also, when I read it I understood that it is not exactly what I was looking for. It's not really "rooting" the phone. Can anyone give me any clear instructions on how to "root" my Droid Bionic? I want to be able to get ICS on it. Thanks.
The house of bionic is several steps rolled into one so I will break apart for you.
1. You need to be on. 905
2. The first steps in the program will update you to. 246
3. Then it will root your phone on. 246
4. Then YOU will need to install SS 3.05
Install all the files he tells you and follow the prompts and you have rooted phone on ICS

The house won't root a 905 phone which is what the op was asking for. Search for motofail-gb. That will take care of it.

If you want ics then search for ota under settings. Its available for bionic now.
