need help on downgrading to stock - Motorola Droid Bionic

i can't downgrade to stock rom on my bionic.
i used the VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml in RSD but i keep getting the "failed flashing process 6/22".
the only one that works is VRZ_XT875_6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.
im trying to get back to stock .904 so i can use this phone on straightalk
if anyone can help me that would be great

anyone help?
does anyone have any ideas?

Yup- ICS includes an upgraded security in the cdt.bin - one you're on ICS, you cannot go backward (IOW, .246 is where your phone is now stuck at).

So does this mean I can't use this phone for straight talk? :/

Depends - there might be instructions out there on how to convert an ICS BIONIC to straight talk. if not, then probably no.
I'd try AndroidForums next if you don't find the answer here.

I don't know what build would have the 2.33 but try a CM rom and extract it from there.

I think the official gapps that was back in June had it. Find it at http://goo-inside.me/gapps

Back to gb

Hi, I am on an ICS rom and it's too problematic. I want to get back to a GB rom. Any recommendations for a fully functional one?
I like Eclipse 2.2.
Been running it foe a while without issue.

Eclipse is pretty much the only fully functional ROM available and its pretty awesome.

The developer has tweeted that an update to Eclipse based on the .904 leak is in the works and ready for testing
for now I would run the .902 eclipse
Eclipse most def.

I've been using Liberty for a while. I tried some of the Gummy releases as they are more or less the same thing but ICS, but the stability wasn't there yet. I just restored my Safestrap backup of Liberty I took before installing Gummy, though.
I went from AOKP to stock .902 GB.... Now im updating to .904 and trying gummy cherry
I'm running the .904 build if eclipse and its really awesome so far. only problem is the volume buttons don't work but that is remedied by a using an volume control program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.VolumeControl. but other than that its the best GB ROM there is in my opinion.
Edit... someone posted a fix for the volume buttons in page 6 of the eclipse forum. eclipserom.com/vforum/showthread.php?1612-ROM-Eclipse-Bionic-Build-01-4-26-12 i'm sure nitro will update the ROM soon with the fix.

I actually switched to stock and kept root, for me, this has worked out the best because I use the wifi tether regularly

Flashing ICS with Safestrap?

Okay, so I'm pretty much a noob and I'm not as comfortable modding my bionic as I am my kindle fire. I thought that I couldn't flash an ICS ROM to my bionic in Safestrap unless I am running one of the leaks or wait for ota ICS on my "unsafe" partition. But I recently read a thread that made it sound like I could flash an ICS ROM to my "safe" partition as long as I'm running .905 on my unsafe partition. Is this true or will I brick my bionic if I attempt. Currently running stock GB .905 on unsafe partition and eclipse 3.0 on safe partition. Could someone that understands these things please let me know and explain? Is it a kernel thing? I'm itching for some ICS but would rather not touch my "unsafe partition if I don't have to. Thanks

You can easily flash the leaks (.232, etc.) that are semi-official ICS releases without being rooted or anything else. To do safestrapping, just look through the dev section or google it. It's pretty easy. I safestrapped a rom on my bionic yesterday, no issues...
Thanks for the reply. Still not quite ready to flash one of the leaks to my stock partition yet. Probably going to wait for the elusive ota update unless I get impatient. Thanks again.

I flashed my Droid Bionic with Android 4.0.4 and so far it is running well. No change in battery life and my phone is not rooted.

ICS
I am currently running Eclipse 2.2m system 902. Do I have to flash back to stock rom to get the 905. Also so do I have to do that before going to one of the ICS leaks.

FBZ to 902 then upgrade OTA to 905. Flash the ICS 232 leak and root.

I hope you knew there is a 3.0 version of Eclipse

FXZ back to ICS from JB

Can I still use RSD Lite and the FXZ file for ICS if I'm currently on JB. I'm currently running the stock JB OTA and I'm having so many problems that I want to go back to ICS and just except the JB OTA again just to see if it fixes my issues. I don't think there is a FXZ file for JB yet?? If I'm wrong were can I get the file??

You will brick your phone if you do that, as far as I know

You will definitely brick your phone if you do that. As painful as it may sound, if you do an FDR you'll like your phone a lot more than you do now.
