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.

Yes you must be on the Jellybean leak, rooted, with Safestrap 3.0 installed.

Well I rebooted without wiping data or cache and now my phone won't boot.
Cannot enter SS3 either..
So this is a must, not a suggestion.

For you it was a must, in my other experience it's a suggestion. Always wipe if unsure. I will note this in the OP, however.

Will definitely try it over the weekend .

Did everything like the op said and ended up in a boot loop.So i had to go to ap fastboot and use the utility 1.0 to go back to stock and start over.Not sure what went wrong.Will try again and see what happens.

Hey matt. Nice ROM... it looks really cool. Thanks.
For ppl with unlocked BL are the steps the same. Mine is a bell model and cant update to the leaked jellybean. Also do i need safestrap?

edit** tried twice now and still no dice boot loopin on tablet mode

tried tablet version and went into bootloop.....and what happened to the safe strap recovery because this sucks having to rsd, update, root all over again. can i just root, install recovery then restore MY ORIGINAL backup and i assume thats without data. this was a simple op nothing should have went wrong...maybe leave save strap in???

Well you can go to leaked Jellybean for AT&T if you are boot loader unlocked... You flash system and boot.IMG from ATT 77.12.22 then boot to stock recovery and install the jellybean leak after the normal root procedure ( root, ota root keeper, etc) see the threads for those Also might need to wipe data when flashing att files or boot loop.

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.

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.

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!

3) Chainfire's SuperSU (Donate to this guy, he does a **** ton for the android community! ) -- http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/
The process is SIMPLE.
Follow epinter's fastboot directions for installing cwm on your XT925 or the instructions for CWM/TWRP for the xt926 (Haven't tested, only have a 925) and from there, install the SuperSU package from your SD Card. Reboot, test, done.
As of time of writing, the current and 100% functional version of SuperSU is v0.99, I can not guarantee earlier version will work, however I assume that later ones will.

Xt926 cannot be unlocked unless you have the developer edition. Also there is a CWM and TWRP recovery for us (xt926 developer) so I would fast boot flash that instead of the one for XT925. Otherwise, awesome thread.

Right. There is no root for jellybean on the non dev. The utility returns you to ICS then you root and protect root through the OTA.

So, just to clarify what these steps actually do (I like to understand the reasons why things have to be done to make them work);
1) Bootloader unlocked: This allows you to install the Clockwork Mod
2a & b) Install Clockwork Mod: This installs an appropriate Clockwork Mod image file that epinter has created for this model phone. We then use the AP Fastboot option when rebooting (by holding down that horrific combo of volume and power buttons) to fire this up.
3) Because we're now using a slightly modified...ermm...image?...whatever, it lets us run the SuperSU package directly from our SD card, allowing it to get its' initial root access and we then use the SuperSU app to grant superuser rights as we fire up each app as per a normal root.
Sound right, or have I totally misunderstood things? I'd love to go ahead and do this (I'm in Australia with a XT925, so although I've not yet unlocked it, I can), but I use my phone for work, so I can't really screw it up. I did have root on ICS and loved it, but unfortunately, I didn't know you had to protect root before accepting the JB OTA update, so I lost it then (but still have things like Superuser installed).

Ok I got that. XT926 here. But all the directions I'm reading say that you need root to install CWM, because you need to rename a system file. So if I'm trying to get root through these steps, which requires root to install CWM...??? What am I missing...
I tried installing TWRP, but I get the same screen as CWM when trying to get into recovery (open android with ! symbol)

With twrp you don't need to rename anything. I have it installed. Fastboot flash it, press volume down + power for 10 seconds to simulate a battery pull, then quickly before it reboot press the Volume up + volume down + power combo to pull up the menu, then enter recovery. The trick is to not let it reboot after flashing twrp the first time. Once in twrp make a backup and it will overwrite the stock recovery. (This is all for the dev edition XT926.)

Alright, thanks! I got it now with TWRP. Looks like I kept missing that crucial "prevent bootup" step.
I am curious though, how this would work for someone (with the dev edition) who wants to keep CWM since it does not auto-rename the stock recovery? If I'm not mistaken the process would go like this:
1) fastboot flash CWM
2) reboot into CWM before phone boots up
3) use CWM to flash SU package, obtaining root
4) boot up phone, which causes CWM to be overwritten
5) now with working root, rename stock recovery using file explorer app
6) repeat step 1, and boot up phone keeping CWM since the stock is renamed

Wow that was simple.....many thanks man

I can use the german simcard, and wifi etc.

Works like a charm!

Ok I updated to JB, but lost root - so I've tried to flash back to ICS and now get this ****:

Any solution? I gather that others are stuck like this too.

My mistake - that is what I'm really trying to do - FXZ to ICS.

I don't think it's possible to fxz and downgrade the Android version. I got a similar error when I tried to fxz and accidentally chose the old 5.9.905 zip file.

It's been discussed at length that you can't flash back to ICS because of securities. Likely brick risk.

Well this sucks - there is no way around this problem? I guess perhaps a JB FXZ might do it when it becomes avail.

If it makes you feel better I blew it too. Didn't even think twice as I was doing it. I'm better than that too. I'll be patiently waiting for the FXZ...

Back up and running. Thanks for the heads up on the FXZ. I expected at least a week.

what if i flash ICS without cdt.bin? Mabye it help back to ICS?

You will brick. The security doesn't allow any of the secure partitions to be downgraded. Not just cdt.

no... it won't boot,
but, it will let the bionic boot into recovery mode (manually), then you can install the OTA update
tada...

How did you solve this?
What firmware should i use? i dont what is FXZ
can you please help
i am using razr xt912 and fails on flash 1/24 cdt.bin
what should i do?

You are in a bionic thread instead of xt912 one. If you look through the threads for your device, you should be able to find what you need. Good luck!
