Hi - I think I'm in a similar boat to other bionic users who lost root after the OTA update to Jelly Bean. Can anyone tell me if i can use
RSDLite to flash the stock ICS?
ww.droidforums.net/forum/droid-bionic-tech-support/227639-guide-use-rsdlite-install-246-ics-fxz-updated-10-24-2012-a.html
I'd like to go back, reroot, and try updating again with some of the steps listed on other threads to keep root. Alternatively, may just go with CM10.
just want to see if this will work if I have already updated to JB.
No you'll brick if you do that. The security levels are different between the two.
Just wait a few days, I read on another forum that DJRBliss has been working on a jb root exploit for the bionic.

Thanks for the info. Glad I checked. Will wait as you suggested -- hell, we Bionic users have waited this long, anyway...
Us bionic owners know a thing or two about waiting.. fortunately I kept root through the ota.
"Brush up on your Ubuntu samba skills and wait a few days. And perhaps get your PayPal account ready for a donation while you're at it. Root is coming soon but it won't be a one click. It'll involve effort. We set up a root bounty on droidrzr. I highly recommend that those who care about root pledge a few bucks or donate directly to djrbliss." - SamuriHL from another thread here.

Not sure if I can post links or not, so go to rootzwiki, then go to forums, then click on Droid bionic, then click on Droid bionic developer forum, then click on Th3oryrom and you'll find it.

I think the reason this thread hasn't blown up is because everyone is still trying to keep root on .902
Nevertheless, I am still in that group. Post up some screenshots!

Every one says 3g/4g is not working correctly, only 1x or 3g if your not in a 4g area.
Edit: I see there seems to be a work around, by turning on the LTE ram dump.
Is it a port of this?

You need to go to 902 from 893 not 901. I think you can flash stock 893 in rsd, use voodoo from the market to save root, then take the OTA update and restore root with voodoo, but I'm not 100% sure voodoo works on the bionic (it does on my transformer prime)

Xda has lost its luster. When I started rooting phones, everyone was linking to xda because this was the main source. Now I'm seeing that rootzwiki is the main source. Not sure why that is, maybe someone else can give an explanation

I think its because theres a lot of new users who don't read before they ask questions or start threads. I have seen rom threads where a question that was answered 10 times in the last 5 pages continues to be asked. The search function is horrible on here but if you can't read the last few pages of a thread, or 2-3 pages of thread titles before asking a question or starting a thread then you are just cluttering up the forum. I have seen a few devs leave simply because of all the people that wouldn't read a few pages, or even the OP before asking stupid questions which have already been answered. Also the moderation in some sub forums is horrible, that's another big reason I've seen a lot of devs leave.
Thank you for the explanation. Makes sense.

It isn't hard to keep root. ROTA893 is your friend
I was trying to connect my D4 with the leaked ICS ROM though adb
but after typing adb shell, it keep telling my device was offline
if i can connect the device, is it possible to push the busybox, su, etc to /system/xbin and enabling the root privilege?
Can't help you with actually rooting the build (sorry), but I have seen other threads that seem to indicate that if you reinstall your drivers the problem should resolve itself...
Where is the leaked rom?

no luck anyone? i really want root back.....I love everything about this update i just want my root back please!!!!!
I can point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467598 I think if we knew the correct hex values to change in the .bat we might be able to get root.
It seems the problem i face now is i cannot push the files to the phone as permission denied.....or device offline....i actually could even push su to /data/local
which render other commands useless.....
Per p3droid twitter:

pimpsalot69: He was referring to getting it installed, not getting root. Unfortunately, if you lost root during the upgrade process (like I did) there isn't currently a way to restore it. You'll have to wait for a new method to be released.

I thought the GSM patch is automatically enabled on the ICS ROM? All you have to do is put in your foreign SIM card and you should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to work - I put in the foreign SIM and can make and receive calls without an issue. But no 3G data available (and I have set all the data roaming, etc. on in settings). If I had root access, then I could try to flash that rom to see if it worked. I'm in South Africa on the Vodacom network (3G).
Hi I'm new to the forum and I have some questions. hopefuly I'm in the right area.
Ok #1 so I own a bionic and I've had it about 10 months now. Should I wait for the new ics then root or should I just root now?
#2 What are the pros and cons of rooting the bionic? I still own the orginal droid and its rooted and it was a bada$$ phone. I just want to know if it will be the same with the bionic.
#3 If i root can anybody point me to a good root program? I've been searching and found motofail and petes root tool. Are these any good?
Thanks to anybody that can help
You can root using motofail if on the .902 or .905 update petes method works on prior versions. If u install a ics leak you can also root with razor edges method.

Motofail is easy as hell to root the Bionic with. There is a special edition of Motofail (only root program period) that worked for my Bionic running ICS. I say if you are willing to tinker. Install ICS .232 and than root.
Thanks man. How do I get my hands on the ICS leak?? Every time I find it the link says error nothing here.

What kind of forum is this? What do you mean you can't see my phone through the interwebs...
This is what you needed to have done prior to the push to .246
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810373
You could use root checker from the play store for free to verify that you are not rooted but it should have cleared your root once you FXZ'ed back to .905
there really is not a lot of detail to it, i have unfrozen everything and used voodoo to unroot and it fails
are you on .902? .905? ICS leak?
Do you have bootstrap or safestrap installed? If so, that will prevent you from being able to update.

Are you getting any kind of error? Of so what is it? Where is it happening?

Voodoo does more than just plan old root. I recommend going back to 905 via RSD. I actually rooted my 905 fxz restore (using motofail by drjbliss) before installing the OTA, and it installed fine.
Something Voodoo or some other root app did is causing the OTA pre-install checks to fail. Backup with TiB and fxz back is the fastest way to get your 246 fix.
help?
So I go to system updates and it tells me I am up to date. (I FXZed to .905 and am unrooted) Has the update not been pushed out to everyone yet? and if not were can I find it?
I went to the unsafe partition running. 905 and found no updates. I presume they are sending it out in stages.

It's not been push to the general public yet. If you're not part of the soak you'll have to find it elsewhere. Scroll back a few posts. There is a link to the file in here somewhere. You may also find it posted in another thread. I'm sure XDA's Bionic users are all over it

Dang, I must have misunderstood the article I read about it releasing today, The link in this thread is how to FXZ back to 905, Do you have any idea where I could find the soak update? I have been searching for awhile, also will it will hold root though the manual update?
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/4026-samurihls-house-of-bionic/
I believe Sam has it up on his site . The .246 should be the same as what is being pushed, but don't take my word for it. He will probably post here.
Forget the soak. Motorola just announced ICS on their Facebook page and its rolling out this weekend.

Yep, they usually roll out the public OTA within a few days of the private soak test. Or you can search for the 246 leak. It's the same zip.

I used samurai's hob and it worked great. Same as the official ota. No need to wait.
So if I download zip from HoB I wont have to flash back to something later on to get the fabled JB update?

If you stay on .246 you are on the update path.
Hi, I just bought a Droid Bionic running 2.3.4 and I have been searching up how to root it. I figured out that I need the MotorolaOneClickRoot tool to do it, but every time I try to download it the link is dead. Can anyone give me a good link to download it and if possible, send me the steps to rooting it as I am still not good at this kind of stuff. Thanks in advance.

I searched it up and I read a bunch of stuff on it. I know I sound stupid, but I'm still confused on what it is and he doesn't give steps for newbies on how to get it. He uses lots of terms that I don't know of. Also, when I read it I understood that it is not exactly what I was looking for. It's not really "rooting" the phone. Can anyone give me any clear instructions on how to "root" my Droid Bionic? I want to be able to get ICS on it. Thanks.
The house of bionic is several steps rolled into one so I will break apart for you.
1. You need to be on. 905
2. The first steps in the program will update you to. 246
3. Then it will root your phone on. 246
4. Then YOU will need to install SS 3.05
Install all the files he tells you and follow the prompts and you have rooted phone on ICS

The house won't root a 905 phone which is what the op was asking for. Search for motofail-gb. That will take care of it.
