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"

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.

It says that. Ignore it. It is .904 mine said the same.
and no. you have to be on stock .902 bloated, odexed, root is okay, but you will lose it. If not on stock .902 you have to FXZ back, then go in to stock recovery (holding both volume buttons and powering up, and pressing down once and up to open it) then one the fancy logo appears press both volume buttons, the apply update. Navigate to it and select it. Then once its done you'll be .904 stock, unrooted. So run the motofail root script. Then enjoy.

I have a question. I don't own a bionic, but my brother in law has one (great phone), I rooted it with motofail, installed safestrap. He is on.902 currently. once I had him ripped, I immediately switched to the safe side. It made a backup before it switched to safe. I put eclipse 2.2 on it. Now. I am waiting for 904 to go official. When I switch back to unsafe, will I be back on stock right away? or do I have to do a restore of that backup once I am back on unsafe side?
Now, once back to stock, rooted 902, can he get an ota? I would think he could. I know in my thunderbolt, if you are stock and rooted, you can get an ota. Sorry for all the questions, just want to be sure what to do. Moto is much different than htc is in this respect. Thanks, Daniel

I applied 904 to my unsafe system just by switching over to it and following the guide. You will likely have to reflash eclipse after backing up your unsafe system again. I didn't though and switched back to safe system and checked phone info and it has the updated radios

Once the official release hits probably. First you would revert back to your "unsafe" system through the safestrap boot menu which should still be running stock 902 (or whatever version he has) Once that is loaded you reboot and it will boot your stock system.
Once your up and running in the stock system the phone will update its apps(Since the stock system has not been run since you rooted/rom'd I'm assuming). I recommend being on WiFi if possible unless he has unlimited data. After that completes you will need to Hit the button to the left of the home button (the 4 blocks with one colored in) > Settings > About Phone > System Updates.
It will look for the update and download it OTA if available. It will wipe out your root so you will need to motofail again after that and probably reinstall SafeStrap(I had to)

Forgot to mention. You may or may not have to reflash Eclipse to your safe system after the update. I personally didn't and the radios are reflecting the update but the system is still showing as 902 update since im running off of my original 902 eclipse flash.

Anybody got any info on the OTA I have been notified of soak but havent herd anything for about a week and a half? I wonder if it will even be 904 Moto will probably change the # just because they could.

Stuck waiting, just like ICS

It's pretty pathetic that they can't even get minor updates out the door. It doesn't bode well for us getting ICS before this phone outlives its usefulness. Sorry to be so cynical, but, VZW and updates has just been horrible. (And not just for the Bionic....right, anyone waiting for an official ICS build for a 4G Xoom? All 2 of you that haven't rooted it and gone to a ROM...) Uh, anyway, let's hope they get this update rolled out soon so we can resume the wait for ICS.

I don't want to seem like an A-hole. But before the phone out lives its usefulness? Almost any smart phone on the market will be useful for years. It's only the american greed wanting the newest baddest phones. How many people actually wait the full 2 years before upgrading? I know I don't. Cell phones have came a long ways, and my wifes DROID OG is still being used as a back up phone being 3 years old. So use a different argument. We will get it, just be patient

I guess you completely missed my point. What I don't want to see happen, and is very POSSIBLE, is that we get ICS after Jelly Bean is released. You're going to tell me that would make you happy? If I had waited a couple more months from when I bought the Bionic in the first place, i.e. having the patience you're telling me I need now, I could have simply bought a phone that CAME with ICS rather than having to wait months for it...

It wouldnt make me happy, nor would it upset me. I buy my phones according to the hardware and the specs that I think will fit me the best. The operating system is just an added bonus. Of course I want ICS, and then Jelly Beam, but I'm not going to complain about the speed I receive the update. Some are faster, some are slower. Just the way of life. Id rather wait.an extra 4 months for a build that isn't super glitchy, as to have it as soon as it's released and it not function properly. Just my opion

Bionic ICS Leak v 6.7.2233 (Android 4.0.4) [download link]

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.

Attention read before flashing official ota!!

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.

Hello friends!
I've got AT&T Atrix HD with JB leak installed, with uncomplete root (root is present but any app cannot access root!), and yesterday I've received software update (98.4.20.en.US).
Tell me please - can I flash back to ICS, or somehow in another way gain root access??

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.

[Q] How to flash Stock 6.7.246 back to 6.7.2233？

Just found the 6.7.246 stock make the HDMI not working. I tried a lot custom roms by safestrap, none of them worked.
Happened to find this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31460958
which suggested 6.7.2233 may support the hdmi. So wanner try it.
The download link of 6.7.2233 is not hard to find: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/213213-b
But such a mention shocked me:
"You must be on stock .905 to flash this. You must flah from STOCK RECOVERY.It is recommended that you do not use
Safestrap with this leak."
So is it serious? Do I have to go back to .905 (from the current ics 6.7.246) to 6.7.2233? If I don't remember wrong, the flashing of this ics version (6.7.246) is not reversible. Then it's a one-way-ticket, and cannot be reversed.
Anyone have similar experience or idea?
Thanks in advance!

Hdmi worked for me for many months on 246. If it doesn't work for you, maybe you got a bad install. Maybe try flashing the 246 fxz file with rsdlite and start over.

I'm digging the download of that 246 fxz right now.
Since I'm already on 246, I'm not sure if it's qualified to be flash the 246 again (I remember most of such flash asked for a 905 base, not 2xx).
Can you please give any links or confirm that I still can do it (reflash 246 from 246)?
BTW, if I can reflash the 246, does it mean I can also flash it to 2233 using the same fxz way?
Many thanks.

An fxz flash is different from installing an update. Fxz installs everything.

I followed this thread:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...CS-OTA-Activation-TXT-MMS-3G-ROOT-on-PagePlus
,and flashed the downloaded file "VRZ_XT875_6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip" (from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_targa/list.php) using RDS lite.
Is it literally the way of the "fxz flash" you mentioned?
If so, is it still possible to make a "bad install", given that everytihing's working except for the HDMI?
Or can you suggest another way (i.e. by what software) to implement the "fxz flash"?
Thank you.

I think you're right. Once up to .246 can't go back to .905 but the new jb update is out now!!
