Why 5.5. and not 5.6.xxx?

5.6.890 offers the same root-ablility.. just SBF back to 5.6.890.

Quick question

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...

Need help please

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..

Bricked from ics leak .238

Hello,
I Have bricked my Droid bionic while it was on the 238 ICS leak and I was hoping someone may be able to help. Unfortunately, my friend was helping me and try to flash it back to 902. As we all know and as he found out, that bricked the phone pretty badly. Is it toast now or can I save this thing?
Thanks

I once had the same thing happen to my Droid X. I tried to go back to a previous version from a leak and couldn't fix it. Not even the people at the Verizon store I took it to could fix it. They set me up with a warranty replacement because they thought it was caused by a virus or something. I was lucky. Of course now I keep my phone insured, just in case.

Try this. It may help you get back up and running.

Note: ics leaks from version .235 and higher can NEVER go back to GB (.902 or .905)

new to the bionic. root or not to root.

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.
