Was running the ICS leak...everything was fine.
Decided to try ICS cm9 and got it up and running but did not like it do to some bugs I was experiencing I wont go into detail here.
SOOOO I booted into stock recovery and flashed the ICS leak after wiping data/cache. I got an abort error status 7. At this point I just figure I woyl FXZ back to .902, OTA to .905 and re-install ICS...
As I sit right now I am stuck at the dual core logo for about 15 mintues after an attempt to FXZ back to .902. The FXZ process completed with 0 errors and the phone went into reboot but just sits on the dual core logo...I have attempted process twice. not sure what to do.
Fixed it
So after continually trying the one click path-saver script (as if it would magically work all of a sudden) I used RSD lite with the same file from the path-saver method and it worked.
Where can I find the path saver script?
All of the links that I had for the script and the f x z files have been removed. I was just lucky enough to have downloaded the f x z file before most of the links had been taken down. and you need to use rsd lite if you are stuck at dual core screen

My bionic is boot looping the ice cream sandwich boot animation. I had everything running fine and when i did a nandroiod backup all of a sudden it started boot looping. I have followed the directions for the rsd lite fix and also the r3l3as3d root one click fix. Both when ran said that they installed okay and should be fine but when i start it up it is still boot looping. Can someone please help. even after running them I still don't have the stock boot animation I still have the ice cream sandwich and I am still boot looping. I followed all of these direction http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...70-r3l3as3droot-43v3r-root-bionic-v2-1-a.html and on the screen it said that they installed okay and should work. and like I said I followed all the direction on this site as well http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4603-fxz-fastboot-recovery/ and it says it worked but after rebooting I find out it did not. can someone please help. I can boot into fast boot (obviously) and the stock recovery but nothing I have tried so far seems to fix this issue and now I am lost and stuck boot looping an ice cream sandwich style boot animation ( which has been working fine for weeks until i just did this last nandroid backup and for some reason after that nothing but boot loops.
Try this fix:

It worked for my Bionic when I got stuck in a bootloop. You might try clearing your dalvik cache before you do anything else though.
I have the same issue!!!
If you're looking to wipe down your phone and start from scratch you should really be seeking out the full 700MB FXZ file to use with RSD Lite. That'll bust through any mods you may have put in that have wrecked your phone.
I already did.

I had similar issues that seemed to be caused from restoring a nandroid after doing the 5.7 update, however my results were the complete opposite of yours, if you have insurance like most i'd go pay the hundred bucks and act distraught that it's now at the bottom of a lake or river after a canoe capsize.
Also try option 4 vs 1 or vice versa on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
Lucky!
I'd rather be stuck in a never ending ICS boot loop than have fully functional GB any day!
Just curious, did you try to perform a factory reset immediately after the fxz? If not, I would do another fxz and when the phone reboots, pull the battery, enter stock recovery and perform a factory reset. Good luck, hope you get it going.
HELP!!
Hey Everyone. I had UNL3ASH3D v1.4 on my bionic, got bored and saw the Shifter base rom and wanted to flash Shift3r ICS blurry v2.3.1....installed shifter base.zip...booted fine...backed up, factory restored, wiped cache, installed Shift3r ICS blurry from sd. Now im in a boot loop =(.
I Held Power and up/down got into the recovery, but it wont access my sd card, and wont boot up a clockwork backup from a while ago. Please help....!
fxz it with rsd lite, u just soft bricked it.
Also i'm almost positive that those themes specifically say for 2.0+ as noted by this warning in in the post "THIS IS THE TH3ORY CR3AM IC3 CR3AM SANDWICH ADD-ON FOR [R3]BLURR3D V2.0PBX", so fxz, forever root, optional on 5.7 upgrade and flash [R3]BLURR3D V2.0PBX base rom re-apply theme
In the end I just had to send it back to Motorola for a new one. I just never mentioned it was rooted so it was still covered under warranty since I technically unrooted it before i sent it back even though it wont stop boot looping. SO I got my new Bionic the other day and I am happy and re-rooted again, and the best part is I didn't have to pay for the insurance replacement phone.
to be or not to be. a question, or a way of living?
I will have to admit that I, at one time, would proceed with the same recourse. But I've been around the block a time or two now, and have come to realize how my actions, large AND small, greatly affect others.
If I do something to VOID my warranty, I own up to it.
Just sayin'
I need some help please. I seem to be in a pickle, though I’m not bricked. (At least, not yet.) So I rooted my phone last night, using [GUIDE][NOOB]Step-By-Step Instructions for New Stock Bionic Owners. Everything went great, and I got root. I followed the guide to get the .901 update, which went fine. Tried the ROM suggested, and liked it. Thought I would try Eclipse v2.1. I installed it, but I like Visual Voicemail, so I decided to use my Nandroid that I did right after root and revert back. Here is where problems started.
After the restore, it wouldn’t boot. Passed the Moto Dual Core logo and hung up. Allowed 10 minutes and after nothing, I flashed back to the backup I made after installing Eclipse. It booted fine. So I decided to go back to stock rom, debloat it how I like it and just run the debloated stock. Here is where problems started. I can’t find a flashable copy of the stock. Just a couple of guides on using RSD Lite. This is for Bricked Bionic’s, but I decided to try it, since one of the guides said it works to get back to OTA.
Downloaded the RSD Lite and the full system file to flash. I put my phone into the mode to flash (Power + Volume Down), unpacked the file with RSD Lite and tried to flash. Got an error.
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 1/15 flash cdt.bin"cdt.bin"-> Phone returned FAIL.; phone connected.
Now, when I reboot my phone, it goes back to the Fasboot Flash Mode screen saing (Failed). I can boot into recover (Volume Up + Volume Down + Power) and do a Normal Boot, and it boots fine.
I tried a Factory Reset, and it just reset’s on Eclipse v2.1.
I want to simply get back to stock. Rooted or unrooted, I don’t care. I’ll reroot if I need to.
I also tried to download the STOCK Deodexed files. The links are dead. Figured if I went back to one of those stock images, I could unroot and see if everything was ok.
Suggestions?
Hmm..I think your mistake was in safeboot when you tried to go back to original back up you were suppose to toggle safe system so that it would be disabled. From there you would've been able to restore your original system and boot up just fine. It was mentioned in the guide through some posts.

So I need to turn Safe Mode off in SafeStrap and flash? I had thought about that, but I was worried about totally bricking the phone. I'm pulling SafeBoot now, and will try the flash.
EDIT...
SafeMode is off, and rebooted. I'm back to .875 Stock Rooted. So far, so good.
I can either flash from here (haven't tried yet) or stay here. When I boot, I'm still booting into Fastbook with (Flash Failure). Any way to get that off, other than flashing back to stock and locked through RSD Lite?
Your mistake was trying to restore from the un safe system. You can toggle safe system and you'll be ok. Or, reinstall a ROM to your safe system.
To clarify: don't flash a ROM with safe system disabled. toggle back to safe mode, and then pickup my directions from the format /system step. You can try another ROM no problem then.
I bet you can find the visual voicemail APK and add it whichever ROM. Copy paste into system/app directory.
Thanks. I'm used to flashing with the Thunderbolt and the XOOM. Not used to safestrap, just normal CWM.
Any idea how to stop the phone from booting into Fastboot? Having to do it the long way still. I'd be happy staying this way, if I can get that resolved.
Actually the problem was you tried to restore to a backup of a pre .901 system which has different radios which flashing doesn't like.
As for the flash failure, get the fxz files and put them in a folder with adb and fastboot. Then run this command in a prompt:
fastboot flash device_tree.bin
When you get a flash failure you just need to flash something to fix it; flashing device_tree.bin won't affect anything.
Its one solid file with a weird extension. Is there a way to unpack it? I am out right now and don't know the extension by heart.
Its a zip, just extract it

Now, I'm scratching my head. (Again) I've worked with ADB with my Xoom, so I'm not a noob at that part. ADB doesn't see my phone. My computer does, and the phone know's it's plugged in. However when I try to flash the file, it can't find the device. I checked "adb devices" and it's not on the list.
So I decided to go ahead and flash completely back to stock with RSD Lite. Still get's the same error message. (I did check the MD5 SUM on the file. It's correct.) Safe Mode is off in Safestrap. Here is what the Fastboot screen looks like on my phone.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.61
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Since I've not seen the Fastboot screen on this phone until this started, I don't know if the (S) has meaning. Like, it thinks the phone's still in SafeMode?
I noticed one of the options in safestrap is to disable safestrap. Thought about trying that, but.... Unsure.
I heres how the story starts: I renamed all of my backups to what they are instead of the dates. so when i went to restore back to stock .902 from eclipse 2.2 to apply the .904 update, i couldnt. so i was advised that i needed to FXZ back. well, i tried. this is what it tells me "failed flashing process Failed flashing process. flash devtree "device_tree.bin" -> Size data retured by phones does not match what was expected.; phone connected" well, after that i hit the start button again in RSDlite and it did this "flash mbm "allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm,bin"" and it did that for close to two hours...then my computer just shut off...so i booted back up and tried again...nothing. still did the same mess. so i realized maybe my RSD is old, so i scoured the webz looking for the newest, and i finally found it. installed, rebooted, and tried again. same message. i've tried about two diffrent downloads, same mess. i would try more but ALL of them are not working. i had someone send me the one i have, and the other from eclipse rom.com...
when i turn on the phone it goes to the fastboot screen and says flashing failed. i figured a way around it by holding down the volume buttons and turning it on it will give me the option to boot normally. but every boot it takes me to the fastboot page..its so annoying..
Any help?
edit; RSD version is 5.6 and the moto drivers are 5.5 i think..
Sounds like you ended up with a corrupted FXZ package. Try this one:

TANKS MAN!
this did the trick!
now, to redo my backups
imma do a .902 stock, and a .904 stock
then flash back to .902 and flash eclipse. then back up eclipse
then wait for the new eclipse on .904 and when its out all ill have to do is flash .904, then new eclipse
All, please help !!!!
I bought a droid bionic on ebay (seller didn't mention that the software is corrupted) now tired to install ICS using RSD 5.7, it installed correctly, but the phone boots up and gets stuck on the "Droid" screen. Nothing happens from there. I can go to AP boot and/or recovery but can't do anything about it. Please help !!!! Searched the web for two days but no solution. I loaded the following file with RSD, downloaded from different site and tried atleast 5 times.

READ all the OP until you understand it. Any question you can have is probably addressed in the threads. HOB scripts automate most of the things you can screw up.
Good Luck
What happens when you try to use the stock recovery?

The FXZ file, for some reason, won't wipe the /data partition. Your best bet is to boot into Stock Recovery, wipe data, power down. Then boot up into flash mode for RSD Lite. Reflash and then everything should be okay.
The device was probably on Gingerbread and the ICS flash caused the OS to freak out when it saw a /data folder full of Gingerbread things without any sort of preparation laid down.
I could have sworn the FXZ always wipes data...Well, the unmodified FXZ. And it erases internal storage, too....

I apologize first that I am completely confused after reading posts for hours trying to fix my problem. Second, I know enough to get myself into trouble & I've succeeded. I'd been running Icarus 183 on my previous Bionic for months, so after shutting the truck lid on it, I set out to install the same on my replacement. Not realizing that JB had been released is where my ^$&#& happened. Here's the order of what I did which has lead me to a phone that boots to AP mode when you turn it on, or to the menu when holding both volume keys and powering on. If I go thru the power keys and select normal boot, I get the red dot and the screen will stay backlit.... nothing else.
1] New replacement phone: I used the Virtual Machine program to root.... This worked perfectly.
2] Goomanager had reinstalled from my google account, but I don't think I had ever used it.
3] I had installed Icarus thru the safe strap (3.05, I think) on my old phone. I went ahead and installed this again (no problems so far)
4] I started to install Icarus thru safestrap again, but I didn't like partitioning, so I figured I would download and install a rom using GooMgr
5] I believe I chose a rom named "Carbon" from those roms GooMgr stated was compatible... When I ran GooMgr nothing appeared to happen, so I rebooted the phone thinking I would just go ahead and install Icarus using safestrap.
6] When I pressed the button to boot into safestrap, the Carbon rom I had started to load began to run.. (apparently GooMgr could not reboot due to having safestrap installed??)
7] Naturally, the installed failed, giving me the dead android symbol... I removed the battery to reboot, but only AP mode comes up.
8] I am still at this point, having tried RSD Lite 5.7, updated Motorola drivers, and have now tried as who knows how many fxz files to restore it..
9] RSD Lite continues to fail at step 5 , where the phone reports "FAIL"
All I want is the stock JB back, so I can be up an running again.
WOW! Sorry for the problems. I wish I can help but I'm not too familiar with returning your phone back to stock. I do have one piece of advice. Go to YouTube and look up Tomsgt123. His website is rootjunky.com. Really great guy. He responds very quickly. Good luck.

If fxz fails why not try recovery mode flash using sd card?
Just follow the directions for 'manual JB' flash.
http://www.android.gs/update-motorola-droid-bionic-official-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/
[/COLOR]Use a more recent version of RSD Lite for the latest JB FXZ files. 6.1.5 is the current RSD Lite release version.
https://db.tt/Tya2balw
You don't need to install the MTK patch included with this release.
UPDATE.. Since I need this phone for my business, I couldn't take the extra time this week to sort it out... Ended up going into a Verizon store & told them what I did (honestly)... They were surprised I was telling the truth & made arrangements for a warranty exchange.. Got the new phone today and up & running on stock rom... I'll be more careful and thanks for the advice above.. I'll make sure I am using the correct software next time.
Thanks for the responses.
