How to get to ICS from stock rooted phone - Motorola Droid Bionic

I am currently trying to upgrade to CM10 / JB but kind of stuck. I have deleted SafeStrap v1.07 and unistalled it. I want to upgrade to SafeStrap2.11 so that CM 10/ JB can run. But from what I understand I need to be on ICS. Firstly how do I get on ICS? Can I do a OTA upgrade?
Someone please help me. Sorry if this is a repeat question but I been doing a lot of research to try to get this answered.
Thanks for your help!

You need to find a downloadable ICS leak .232... anything over that, u cant go back...

Something is seriously b0rked in your system, so I'd advise you to go
back to rooted stock like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25285584&postcount=3
You'll have full root after that, and your CWMR will be fully functional.
For now my phone is useable, everything works but not cwmr.... Should i still need to get a new stock rom?
From what i read in the topic you link to me...
Does it del away my kernel and etc....?

Now if you want to install CM9 on your phone , you must be rooted.If your rom has root , restart into CWM and follow this instructions :
- Go into ClockworkMod
- Do the follow wipes: /data /cache and /dalvik
- Install zip from sd card and choose the cm-9-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-p970.zip

I'm on my phone atm, so I can't give links, but they're on this forum.
1. Get rooted.
2. Get ROM Manager from the Play store and flash CWM.
2. Download the ICS ROM and Google Apps ICS, they're on the blog of FOP.
3. Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps.
4. Reboot in CWM with ROM Manager.
5. Click backup/restore and backup your current ROM.
6. Go back and click Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Click wipe data partition.
8.Go to advanced > wipe dalvik cache.
9. Go back and click Install zip from Sdcard, find your ROM and install it.
10. Go to advanced > wipe dalvik cache again.
11. Go to install zip from sdcard and find your gapps and install them.
12. Reboot, first boot takes some time. If your stuck at the bootlogo, click g-key some times, you will go to CWM. Here you can restore your ROM you used before.
13. Go to the play store and get titanium backup and restore your apps.
Press thanks if i helped
EDIT: If you want to try JB, you do the same but you get JB gapps.

Its is good to be and accept NOOB but its really bad to act like. He has cleared already in his above post " there's no official ICS rom for optimus black.We have unofficial CM9".
I dont see any reason to ask again and again. And you question is vague. Can you please give us a video about your OB e.g Is it rooted, which rom are you using, which version you have and etc?

He's not a noob guys, he's just a newbie... I don't like the term Noob, just sound harsh to me xP
Anyway to install any unoffical CM9,ICS or ICS based roms you must (of course) be rooted and have clockworkmod recovery.
Always backup before installing any rom!!
Here is a list of some ICS roms:
Unofficial CM9 by nunogil
Unofficial CM9 by FreeOptimusProject
Ultrasound Rom HD Beats Edition by blacktecktonik
MIUIv4 Ultrasound by blacktecktonik
Unoffcial AOKP by koila33
PanaroidAndroid by koila33
Motorola Blur by DiederikC
I may have missed one or two sorry about that lol
Apparently the most functional ones may be Ultrasound Rom HD or both Unofficial CM9, both having camera glitch and no HW acceleration due to no official kernel from LG.
Hey I would recommend you to wait a little because apparently official ICS from LG will roll out on September 25.... I don't know if it's true. But till then, wait for the end of September before flashing any unofficial ICS roms.
EDIT: Since you are unrooted, follow THIS THREAD or more specifically THIS ONE
EDIT: there's a CM10
But it's in an early stage CyanogenMod10 Jelly Bean by chenleicpp
The rom has same bugs as ICS + audio not working and some other bugs

Zeus Rom is the most popular rom right now!!
It's extremely stable, with new tweaks/features like Quickpanel, OverCloking, Voltage changer, and many many more!
That's what I'm using while waiting for official ICS

Erm this one you could have searched it yourself lol..
The Blog containing links
The Original thread containing discussions, tutorials, etc
Latest version is v7 but maybe it's not as stable as v6.39
First of all seriously READ my noob how to. Then you ll learn, how to root your device, install custom ROMs,... Also links to many ROMs are in there. Then go to the dev section of this forum and have a look at all the ROMs. Choose whatever you want, backup your device, install the ROM, test it, choose if you wanna keep it or not and continue with another ROM, if you dont like it.
Please dont ask for more noob how to's, if you are not willing to read. Not meaning to flame you, but if you dont understand of what you are doing, chances are rather high, that you will screw up your device. And I think that is nothing that you wanna do.
So read my noob how to, follow links if necessary and follow the tutorials given. Any questions left? Search here on the forum. Still questions left? Ask google. Still questions? Come back and ask. But please dont ask for things, that are there already. I made that noob how to for a purpose. It was meant for noobs like you and me (since we all start as noobs somewhen).
So go and read now please. And you wont get it all in one day, so take your time, ok?
Nice one

[Q] Where I can find the most stable CM version for my smartphone

I own Samsung Galaxy Mini device with Android 2.3.6 version, already rooted, but I'd like to upgrade it to ICS by a stable CyanogenMod release. I could not find the right, most stable download for my Samsung Galaxy Mini device, can you redirect me to the right one and specify any bugs that I may experience and whether there's something that doesn't work (Camera, Wifi, or ...) with links to any fixes I can install to jump those issues there.

go there and you can choose one of them. i prefer the cm7 because it didn't have any noticeable bug, it fast, and it battery friendly.

So what are the issues in Cm9 and Cm10 releases. How I can get back to Stock rom, is that by an Nandroid backup or so and how do I make it then use it to revert back ?
Sorry if I'm asking too much questions but I just want to respond to all the general questions in a single thread that will become an online resource for the newbies who may have the same doubts about it .

Do you have CWM recoveries?

Yes, the Droids have.

I have a Milestone, so i've never used a Droid, but i'm sure you will find a plenty of tutorial about how to install custom recovery and flash roms.
Only flash roms from the Droid forum.

Yes you can flash CM 7 without a problem check out this guide that will tell you how to root your Droid 1 if you haven't already and how to install the latest 7.2 Stable version of Cyanogenmod and google apps (Here is the latest gingerbread ones). For now I would stay away from any ICS ROM's for the Droid 1 while it's nice to see ICS running on our phone they aren't really meant as daily drivers, and don't have everything working correctly.

Official ICS help

Hi guys, my friend has an OB and wants to upgrade to ICS, i've looked on the web and i've seen flashing with KDZ and others, can u link me or tell me how to flash the official firmware. Also if possible, can u give feedback on how smooth it works. Thnx. I personally own a samsung phone so im more familiar with ODIN. Are there any chances of bricking the OB if done the correct procedure? Thnx again.
