You're going to want to go back to stock using the pathsaver method before doing the update.
Plenty of topics on this.
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433783 and it worked great.

Thanks in advance!

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

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.

Need help going back to stock

I have a bionic that i system updated to 5.9.902 a couple days after i got it. Then i made the mistake of coming here and messing up my phone because i have no idea what I'm doing
I installed safestrap and did the whole noob step by step guide. Installed eclipse and a couple other roms. For some reason i wiped my internal and external storage. I have no backups of anything.
I've tried releasedroot, petes, rds lite with the 902 xml. I got stuck all the time with what seemed to be a driver issue.
I just want to return this thing to stock and stop messing with it
As of now when I press power i go straight to ap fast boot flash failure screen. I press power to power off and hold vol up and down to boot into recovery but just pick the normal boot option. Phone then boots into what seems to be my stock 902. I dont know if im rooted anymore.
If i could rid my phone of this flash failure and safestrap, i would be stupid happy
Anyone out there willing to help a total noob? If any more info is needed I'd be happy to provide

What error did you receive using rsdlite?
When you go into your phone settings..can you verify your on 902?

I'm at work now but it was some sort of usb failure. It got stuck on 1/22 mbm something.
Yes as of right now im on 902.
Is there a tutorial on how to completely remove usb drivers? Even though rsdlite says I'm connected, I don't see my phone drivers in device manager. That's where I think I'm going wrong but not really sure.

Droid stuck on Dual Core screen after factory SBF flash.

Heyya , I'm having a problem after flashing the factory SBH to my droid. I was having problems with the custom ROM I was on , so I wanted to flash it back to stock so I could actually use it. I downloaded the 1 click method SBF and It went through it fine and it rebooted , but now its stuck on the dual core screen. I even tried re flashing it but no luck. Any suggestions ?

After you flashed the SBF did you boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset?

Nevermind. I just did that but now its STILL at the dual core screen...:/ Any suggestions now?

Which device and firmware were you running?

Did you use the files for .906? This one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911
Then use this one instead (.890): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255198
If you used the second one (.890): Now try again using the .906 version.

You're running a different system than the factory SBF most likely, so get the 5.7.90x files for the SBF.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app

if your stuck at the dual core that means that means that you were on. 890 and used the. 906
the simplest fix is to download the. 906 update found on my thread push it to your external sdcard boot your phone into stock recovery pwr+x and install the update or you could download the. 890 sbf also found on my thread and re sbf

I figured that , downloaded another sbf and now it woks fine. Thanks for the help though!
