Getting back to stock - Motorola Droid Bionic

I have my Droid Bionic on a ICS ROM but I would like to get back to stock. I don't have any back ups and I wasn't on safestrap. I was wondering how I flash my phone back to stock. I have heard of doing it with RSD lite. If so where do I get the file to flash on my phone?
My phone is forever rooted, will it stay that way?
Thanks!

Yes, you can use RSDlite and the 902 fxz or you can moto-fastboot the system.img.
You will loose root with both options. However, you can use motofail to regain it again.
Do you have any of the files?

If ever your phone needs to have everything wiped back to complete stock, you'll want to obtain RSD Lite (newest version is 5.7) and a system FXZ file. 5.9.902 is the newest full FXZ available.

You can moto-fastboot the system.img or use rsdlite.
Next time, use safestrap.

Can I go straight from 5.5.886 to 902?

I bricked my phone and the only method that I could get to work is this fastboot method that put me on 5.5.886. Now I downloaded the Bionic_2_ics file and the first FBZ is 902. Will it work directly from 886?

[Q] Jellybean Update Fails!!

Whenever i try to do an OTA update, it downloads the new os but fails to install. It installs maybe 25% and then the android falls over with the red triangle. Keep it mind im new to the rooting scene so bare with me haha it just cuts back on and says update failed. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!:crying:
What have you done to your phone? Typically OTA updates fail because you have modified/deleted/changed something on the phone that the update is trying to patch/update. If you don't know what you changed, it's hard to change it back to stock.
Use RSDlite and the JB fastboot files to flash your phone to stock Jellybean.

download the 4.1.2 version and search for RSDLite.

still trying to figure out what exactly FXZ means and whether its a good way to basically fix your phone regardless of what you may have done to it. Will this allow me to change my borked stock rom and rom slot 1 running aosp to just nullify everything and get stock jellybean back onto my bionic? And if so, what are the instructions to do so, (ive never used RSD)
How do I flash this? Does it matter what firmware my phone is on? I know I'm not on the update path. Pretty much I rooted and loaded a Custom ROM for my bros Bionic. But now I want the new JB for his phone ...

Not sure how you guys do it.. And even though this release doesn't benefit me whatsoever (I just happened to come across this thread).. Thank you for all you and your crew (mysteriously) do.

I'm not sure anyone actually knows what "fxz" means.. Flashable XML Zip... Lol.. Maybe..
But, yes, you can use RSDLite (for Windows only) - make sure you have your moto drivers installed on your computer - extract the zip close to C:\ with no spaces in your path - point RSD to the .xml file in the extracted folder - boot in to fastboot mode (power + vol. down probably, if like my moto) - connect USB and make sure your phone is recognized - and hit go..
Or you can flash those files with moto-fastboot (some with just fastboot).. Make a .bat file or .sh script.. See mine here for an example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108 - WARNING NOTE: If you try to use my files for the A2, you MUST first cross check the partitions and file names in my .bat and the .xml from the FXZ package - and edit the .bat as necessary for your device.
Letting RSD run the xml will wipe/flash everything, usually including bootloader - back to stock ota jb - in theory... YOU WILL ALSO LOOSE ROOT! (so, hope you have a root method for JB).. Or it could possibly brick your phone if it's not the correct firmware/region, or if trying to downgrade.. See my batch file that flashes system.img only for borked systems - but, yea, this could all be pointless, or for emergency situations only - until you have a way to re-gain root.
Check out the Atrix 2 forum.. We have a lot of experience with the FXZs..

Yes it will. I did the same thing. I initially failed on Step 5. I had to extract the zip file and modify the XML removing the fb_mode_set and fb_mode_clear lines (See http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1107-fix-unknown-fastboot-command-oem-phone-connected/).
yep, it worked for me, too. too bad we lost root. I'll keep my fingers crossed for an exploit to be discovered.

My question is this, If I bricked my phone tring to go back to ICS after JB update could I use the 4.1.2 file with RSD light to fix phone to JB? or is this only to flash from ICS to JB if you had some thing wrong with ICS install and JB would not take OTA? Thanks for all the work getting these files up though!
I get "Failed flashing process. 5/24 oem fb_mode_set -> Phone returned FAIL"
Any ideas?

Firmware Team is dedicated to releasing full official FXZ packages from Motorola. This is far from just a ROM. This completely reflashes the device to a pristine factory state.
No Internal Memory
I edited the lines as directed and flashed the update with RSD Lite and the phone works like it is supposed to, but now I can't access the internal memory. I tried to format it like the phone suggested and then it wouldn't recognize any of the memory cards - I think it erased e: drive. So I reflashed it and now I don't get the message to format it, but it won't show up in Windows... my 32GB external SD card shows up, but not the internal memory.
It looks like I don't have permission to access the internal memory. Any suggestions on how to do this with no root?
Thanks.

I think in a different thread someone mentioned that after a couple different boots it may show back up?
another phone, another dilemma. I don't know exactly what happened. The events that led me here are too long to describe and I don't want to bore anybody. I'm stuck at the Encryption unsuccessful loop and I still have no idea how to get out of it. Any help to get me out of this and back to working again would be extremely appreciated.
I've been trying for months now since we first got jelly bean but I keep getting errors using rsd lite.......is there no way to force rsd lite to flash jelly bean onto my phone?.

4.1.2 flash failure after CM 10.1.3
After finally getting my Bionic 4.1.2 rooted I was anxious to install a custom rom. I chose CM 10....
It blackscreened on me. So I decided to RSD back to 4.1.2 and got the "flash failure". I'm completely stuck....unable to flash anything. I need HELP.
I flashed my bionic to get 3g with pageplus. Will this FXZ file return my radio back to the factory 4g LTE state?

Yep, the Droid Utility is a great tool for this phone.
If you're new to this, maybe a little explanation may be helpful..
the Droid Utility is a collection of scripts or tools you can run one after the other. For your purpose, rooting the Droid4, you only would use option 3 - and if you want to run a custom rom on this tool, also option 4. (Google "How to Safestrap" for more info on that)
1) and 2) are if you want to flash your phone back to stock.
So download the utility, extract it.
Make sure you have the drivers installed (if you can connect to your phone as a mass storage device you should be ok)
Click on the run.bat file, choose option 3 and follow the onscreen instructions.

??? What are you trying to get back to? droid utility can flash any firmware file you want - or use RSD lite to flash stock firmware..
But where are you and what are you trying to accomplish and why?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob. I was rooted, took the latest OTA, restored root with voodoo. Now I just want to unroot and wipe it. Current
System 98.72.189.xt894 , Android 4.1.2, no custom Rom.
So I guess if I use option #1(I think) on droid utility, that should do what I need? Or is there something else I need to do as well since I took the recent ota?

No- just choose option #1. The last OTA doesn't make a difference one way or the other...
well, my problem is that the latest update (97.82.189) would fail, so i unrooted with supersu, flashed stock with droid4 utility then installed the update without fail, now i cannot re-root the phone, ive follow all instructions of clearing smartactions cache and data before attempting, phone is in debug and ive tried on both mtp and camera usb modes several times with no luck, script seems to run through as it should but root never takes, im thinking i should have never used supersu to unroot and should have just flashed stock and tried the update, would really suck if i cannot get root back
