5.6? Yes you can just reroot?

I beleave they fixed the patch to root it on the update. Download rootkeeper from the market.

they fixed the exploit in 5.7.894, but its still open in 5.6.890

Looks like you might have to SBF the phone back to 5.6, root it, apply perm root, and go from there… it's going to be a pain, but it'll get you back to being rooted.

Jason, have you tried DooMLoRD's root method yet? (Filename DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip)
(I believe currently it is at version 3.0 and it can be found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653)

.901 without root

Anyway to flash this. 901 update with out root? ?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

I don't think so. I am rather new here so I could be wrong but from all my reading it seems that .901 was only leaked. Whether officially or unofficially its only been pushed to a limited number of devices and so some kind soul has uploaded a copy of it for us to update are devices with sadly for some only through rooting. I have however read that if you don't do the 43v3r root thing and use the path saver 1 click root might not stick. So rooting and than updating to .901 might undo the root, But I don't know if you would be interested in that or not.
Hope this helps a bit.

Even for those who are rooted, this has to be flashed using stock recovery so I believe this would mean that you do NOT have to be rooted to flash it. I know that you used to have to rename it to "update.zip" in order to flash it via stock recovery, but I think this might have been changed.

Dude, just throw it on your SD CARD and let us know if it worked.
Most people on here want to be rooted if for no other reason to create a quality backup.
If it doesn't work, it won't hurt anything and you've answered your own question FOR EVERYBODY.

Yup...
Yeah, I had stock 893 or whatever it was, the last update pushed by verizon...
I grabbed the 901 update, and either left it the way it was, or changed the name to update.zip and put it on my sdcard. Booted into recovery mode (This is the normal bionic recovery since your not rooted), and ran the update. Installed fine.

Sweet thanks can you point me to link can't seem to find iymt

It's in the 1st post marked as 5.5.893. That is the correct file to update to .901

1. Hold both volume buttons and power button at start up.
2. When phone boots there will be letters on top of the Motorola splash screen,.. scroll down to android recovery.
3. Select with power button.
4. Once in recovery you will get the andy with the triangle hold both volume buttons and you will enter stock recovery.
5. Scroll down to / install zip from sd/ card.
From there just select your zip file and let the phone work when finished it will need to be rebooted it might take a little longer then normal but that is fine.
That's it your updated.

901 usable root
I am on 901 and I don't have root, can someone point me toward a rooting method that will work. I searched and tried several methods, but didn't find anything that would work with 901. Preferably with a mac option, but if i have to use windows I will.
Thanks

As of now there is no way to root 901. You have to revert back to 893 or 866, then root and upgrade to 901 again. The easiest way that I know of to go back is to use p3droid's one click method that can be found on my droid world. If you are going back from 901 there is an extra step where you have to flash a seperate cdt.bin file. The one click method will also allow you to root.

You left is as a zipped file? Your bionic extracted it, eh? I wonder if mine will recognize the folder unzipped?

Im a little confused because of my self proclaimed noob staus with motorola, htc and samsung is where im best suited.
In any case, im running stock 901 rooted, can I just flash this to get back to complete stock or is there something Im missing.

Yes I left as zip as it is a signed zip it installs fine doesnt even wipe whitch I thought I would

You're going to want to go back to stock using the pathsaver method before doing the update.

Bionic ICS Leak v 6.7.2233 (Android 4.0.4) [download link]

This is a leak for the 6.7.2233 update (Android 4.0.4) for the Bionic.
You must be on stock .905 to use this.
You must flash from STOCK RECOVERY.
Use of Safestrap is NOT recommended.
You may need to FXZ to .902, take the OTA update to .905 and then flash from STOCK RECOVERY.

Reason i went from 905 to 902 was i was rommed with eclipse on 905
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

installed ICS
Installed 6.7.2233 and it was pretty flawless. I flashed back to .902 and did an OTA update to .905. I haven't rooted yet but I hear there is a way to do it.
Couple of things I noticed
On stock launcher, when plugging in webtop it doesn't work. I got ADW and it works fine now.
Bluetooth seems to work better, wifi is WAY faster (I know this by doing speed tests a lot before and after). I can't speak for 4G yet but will report back when I know for sure how it's doing.
CPU is now running at 1200MHz vice 1000 and it doesn't seem that it auto adjusts to lower speeds like previous versions did so we will see how battery life does. Battery life seems fine so far though.

Any pics or video? Please post!

can someone please tell me how to update to this ? i have already unrooted with voodoo and when i go into recovery to install update it tells me it cant verify signature. i am on 905

I have been running this for 24 hours. In that past 24 hours, the data connection works worlds better than the cm9 of gummy roms I have tried in the pas 2 weeks. In those pas 2 weeks, whenever I hit a 4g zone, no data at all. Today I drove through different zones and was switching between the 2 without issue! Hopefully this update will help solve problems some of us have been having with a data connection.

are we supposed to used rsd to install this ics file?

It's surprisingly easy, but I can understand the daunting task if you've never done any playing with the guts
Download the link at the front page to your computer.
Connect your phone to your computer and click on the "Mass Storage" Setting when the USB options come up.
Copy the downloaded .zip file to your external SD card. Don't worry about unzipping it or anything.
Once it's down, turn your phone off, then turn the phone back on while holding both the up and down arrows. This will boot your phone into what's called "Stock Recovery". To navigate Stock, you click down to move through the options, then up to select a choice.
Click down once (iirc) until your highlight Recovery, then click up to select
This will place you in Recovery mode, if there is nothing on your phone but an icon of android and an exclamation point, hold both of the volume buttons again.
From here, you will use the volume buttons to navigate, and the power button to select items.
Go to, Install update from external storage.
Highlight the .zip file you put there earlier
Wait 5-10 minutes.
Enjoy your ice creamy goodness 2-3 weeks before everyone else. Once you start it up it will "optimize the apps" for a bit, this is natural ICS behavior.
Now that you've flashed your own rom in custom mode, you can start looking at rooting and flashing custom roms. Personally I'd hold out until the developers have time to parse out ICS and update their roms. I believe even the current unofficial "ICS" roms are based on Gingerbread kernels that has been heavily modified.

Here you go folks. I put it up on my server which is much faster.
http://playeraffinity.com/files/Blur_Version.5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
I was going to put it on a download page and all that jazz, but I know you all want to get right to downloading it so all i ask is if you have any free time, check out the site my server is for, Player Affinity. There's a lot of interesting articles on there and you might find something worth sharing.
Once ICS is official on the bionic, I'll get cracking at an Affinity ROM for it.

[FXZ] 6.7.246 - Final ICS

Allright, ICS FXZ for Bionic can be found here:

Secure version has been increased, so no way back to GB and if you have botched your phone with ICS leak on it, then you can use the file to revive the phone. You flash it on your own risk.

I need to revert my Dad's Bionic to stock - it's running the latest stock GB update - but with a custom recovery so the updates will not install.
Can I use this to bring it to ICS from GB? or will this have an adverse effect?

the links are dead in the sticky above

so is this the official OTA ICS fxz? if so then i can just use THIS to get back onto the OTA update path can't i?

Since I haven't used my Bionic in a while, and I'm not up to all the lingo. I've currently got the stock rooted rom on my phone now. I'm guessing this is the update that was just pushed out.
Will I need to re-root my phone after?
I'm pretty sure if I let it do the OTA, I have to re-root (I also haven't run stock roms on any of my phones in a while), is that the case with the download?

When something goes wrong as usual since I love tinkering with my phone, I simply flash GB again. With this update, what to do? Can this be rooted? Does this works with bootstrap/safestrap?

Going from .2233 ICS leak to .246 OTA.
This is gonna sound like a noob question here, but since I'm currently on the .2233 ICS leak, I can use this file 6.7.2-223_DBN_M4-23
Blur_Version.6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US to install the version of ICS being sent out by Verizon using RSD, right? Other than being rooted, it's still stock.

RSD to .902 from .2233
Another possible noobish question... since the .905 download link in the Depriciated List One Stop Shop post isn't working, would there be any risk in using RSD to go back to .902 from .2233? I'm not going to try it tonight, with me having to get up early in the morning, but if anyone could provide a link to the .905 download so I could save myself a step, mainly going back to .902, doing the OTA to .905, then doing the OTA to ICS, it'd be appreciated.

hold on just a minute. I just used this from 232 to jump up to 246 on my stock side. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is an FXZ or in other words a fastboot file that will flash everything back to stock 246 or at least thats the way I understood it. Just like the 905 FXZ that came before it. Botch your phone up FXZ back to stock.

When you applied the ICE OTA, were you rooted? Also, was it this file you used?

thanks for this. adb is broke on my Bionic, and I've been waiting for an FXZ to try to fix it. It worked back in April, but when I tried it with the .905 for some reason it didn't fix it, maybe this one will.
