This is what i did
I flashed stock rom using rsd lite
RSD LITE 5.6: http://db.tt/y23vQ3Td
Using this zip: http://db.tt/hBFdk3qv
ROOTED AND 4EVER ROOTED MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS IF YOU WANT ROOT[I always root stock instead of .893 fnr(for no reason)]
BOOT INTO STOCK RECOVERY
FIRST FLASH .893: http://db.tt/vfNEdVdf
THEN .902: http://db.tt/g0gm69Hq
REBOOT
enjoi
If your already on .893 just flash .902 in STOCK RECOVERY NOT CWM
FOR SUPER NOOBS
Flashing to stock
Extract the flashme.zip to the desktop
Open RSD Lite and click on the ... symbol
In the box, go to desktop and choose "default_flash_targa"
Put your phone in Fastboot Mode
Click Start

I did unr3l3as3droot and forever root first. Then I did the path saver. Then I flashed 896 and 901. After that, I downloaded the 902 ota but didn't install it. Moved it from /cache to the external SD card. Then I turned the phone off. To turn it back on, I hit both volume up and down as I powered it back on. That took me to a different menu that I can't currently think of the name but that is where you will flash 902 at. Remember that the 902 update has 901 in its file name when flashing. If you come across a triangle thing, hit volume up and down and the update will flash.

Easier root method...
There is an easier way then this now...
1. Install update
2. Use the Droid 4 exploit found at vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/ and yes it works for the Bionic on 5.9.902 (i just got done using it)
3. Look at your phone.... its now rooted.
And everyone who uses it should donate to djrbliss and prove that the Android community can support such a valuable asset!

I just did the OTA over wireless and did the update and I kept ROOT.
I did un-froze all the apps I had frozen with titanium backup before applying the update.
Still have root...
In my case, the update wouldn't install. I had to go all the way back before I could go forward.

If you lose root during the update, see here to get it back.
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.

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.

So is this the ics leak tho?
Sent From NS4G, E4GT, and Mopho all running CM9
So I've got my 4th Bionic en route due to pesky data connection issues and no GPS. I'm wondering if I should flash the .232 ICS build. A couple questions arise if I may:
- Is it easily rootable? Running .905 stock root presently...
- Does taking a leaked version make OTA'ing to the official build more difficult? I can just root the new one with .905 and wait if it's simpler.
Answers to the above would make my night! I love these forums as they minimize the knowledge gap between people like me and experts
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
232 is extremely easy to install. Rooting it is just as easy. Here is a simple and complete method. I am on an iPod so you gotta find the downloads on your own.
Ensure you are on 905
Download 232 and put it on your sdcard. Just on the first level (root) folder
Turn your bionic off
Press power and both volume buttons at the same time
Hold them until it powers on and just wait a moment
Sometimes I can speed up getting to the recovery by pressing both volume buttons again
Once you see blue letters in recovery. stock recovery. Select install zip. Choose Zip
Then let it install. Once it is done restart I it doesn't automatically. Can't remember.
Rooting. Use razers edge
For that, turn your phone on in ics
Enable debugging mode on your phone
Unzip the razersedge zip into a folder on your desktop
Then plug your phone into a USB port
Let your phone connect (I am assuming you have the Motorola drivers installed. If not. Do that
Open the folder on your desktop and run the program called run
Hit a button on your computer when told to and wait for it to say done
There you go
Just that easy.
Probably takes less than 20 minutes
So does installing a leaked version make it any more difficult to install the official version at its release? I'm thinking it would be a good opportunity to work bugs out of installed apps and familiarize myself with the new version.
Thanks again for the previous reply. And should I not root the .905 before flashing the ICS? Does that matter? I'm thinking it'd be lost anyways on the flash up. And root of the external SD I'm assuming?

I honestly have never tried to load a leak while rooted in 905. I am pretty sure people were looking for the method to root the leak because it didn't carry over. I can't be for sure on that. Either way, rooting is a cake walk.
As for taking an official OTA update, there have been guys on here talking about it, but if you are aiming to be rooted, get titanium back up, once you have made a full back up your can copy that to an external car or to your computer or where ever you go. Then, for sure, the very worst it possibly can be is FXZ to 902,which is a little scary the first time, but works very very well and is pretty easy too. Then ota up all the way and root and restore from time backup. Probably can get away with doing apps and data as the restore.
If you are comfortable and want a bit more of a challenge, you can go through the fxz with no data loss thing. I am too lazy for that and time backup gets my data back just fine for me.

So you are looking into ICS leaks. If you currently running. 905 rooted and completely stock, I mean all apps that came with the stock moto rom and nothing frozen or deleted, and then easy breeze. Download OTA root keeper from app store and backup root with that app. Download the ICS. 232 leak onto your external sd storage., the one that you can take out. Go in and backup everything you need to keep off of the internal storage, you will need to format it using the phone's settings. If you use safe strap make sure you uninstall it using the app. Disable root with the OTA root keeper app then power off and reboot into stock recovery and install leak. After leak has booted and you are done setting up use the OTA root keeper app to regain root and enjoy ICS goodness..
Once the ICS official is out all you would need to do is fxz back to. 905 using this method http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...wngrade-902-no-app-data-loss.html#post2173723
Then apply official update.
Allright, ICS FXZ for Bionic can be found here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_targa/list.php
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?

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.
Going from .2233 to final ICS.
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.
keep in mind before anyone updates to the official jb. i suspect the official release will be patched to not allow us to return to ics. if you keep root after the update good but if you some how break root there might no be a way to get it back as of now! so be cautious before you accept update. we should at least wait for an official jb fxz if you plan on keepng root this way if you mess something up at least you will have a working phone back without root of course. again i dont know they will patch the official release to prevent downgrade but lets find out for sure to be on the safe side. i dont think were gonna get dan to make us a jb root method right away soon.....
It could be considering its small size. Those who have updated to JB OTA should install safestrap and make a backup.

That's not the official one... A leak update for a leak update is not the official OTA. The official package (if for some reason it is 98.4.20) will be the size of at least the 2 leak update.zips together. It is not a 10 MB change from ICS to JB. It's a 10 MB change from JB leak to JB leak.

I can confirm that this OTA does block you from going back too ICS. Lucky for me, I have backups, and i kept root, so I can go back by restoring one of my backups. But I think this leak OTA is pretty good, so I'm not to upset.

I second PeteSeiler2010's confirmation. I installed this update and tried going back to ICS with both RSD Lite and the Atrix utility.Neither worked. Luckily though, I too had made a backup with SS3 and was able to revert back and get root again.

Unfortunately, I do not have any ICS backups for my phone, I must have named a JB backup as and ICS thats all I can think of...anyway, I too and hoping someone can upload an ICS backup somewhere so I too have the ability to go back to ICS if need be. Sorry for the false hope!
If any one has a backup off ICS, I would be happy to upload it my dropbox site so we all would have that to fall back on.

Just to clarify for Pete.
We don't want your information stored on your phone.
1) Restore back to ICS using the "restore function" in SS3/TWRP
2) Do a Factory Data Reset in settings.... privacy..... Factory Data Reset (this will wipe all personal info from the phone).
3) After you've done a Factory Data Reset, do a backup in SS3/TWRP.
4) Zip up the folder that has the backup you just performed, and upload it to a file server somewhere.
5) Post the link in this thread.
6) Be a Hero!

Yeah, thanks ATGAdmin for clarifying...we don't want your information, just the clean, wiped ICS backup. If anyone has one they would like to share to help bail a few of us out, it would be most excellent!
Has anyone JUST flashed the ICS system.img.ext4 and boot.img manually, wiped data, and attempted to boot?

You mean flash them through Fastboot?

I'm at work for 3 more hours, so maybe someone else can try it. If not, I will when I get home.
