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.

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
I've held off rooting my Bionic & putting an ICS Rom on it in favor of waiting for the OTA ICS update, but we're coming to the end of Q3 & I'm starting to wonder when that will happen. Anyone know if ICS is in soak testing for Bionic yet?

Not yet... soon.... the forums will blow up when it happens i assure you.
Not holding my breath for it happening anytime soon. Maybe before the end of the year?
Ironically you don't need to root to try ics. You install leak from stock recovery. I stay with 232 so I can Fxz back to 902 or 905. Really has minimal risk since can still get ota if on 905

So I'm going to try to flash axiom annihilated to my brothers phone, he is currently running eclipse v 2.2 which is 2.3.4. But I'm not sure how to get safe side, he only has bootstrap. Any ideas or help? Do I have to be on a specific rom before I can flash it?

You are on gingerbread. Axiom is a ICS rom, your first step would be to go back to 905 stock. Step two is to install one of the ICS leaks after installing leak you will need to regain root access. Then download the safestrap apk 2.11 is the latest version. After installing safestrap you will have a safe and unsafe side. Once you have completed all the above steps. You will be able to flash the axiom rom.

Ok, long story short, got the i957 from rogers, figured Samsung is Samsung and this thing should have fairly active development... Not quite for i957. Opened the box powered the thing on and hit software update, stupidly assuming it was a honeycomb update, 3.1 to 3.2 or something like that. Nope was an ICS update. Problem is i957 ICS is not rooted... Need to flash original 3.2 rogers firmware to get this thing debloated...
Ive tried sammobile.com, but their firmware is the ICS release... Can anyone here help? If I cant debloat im gonna just sell the thing and get a Nexus7.

Sammobile should have both the ics and hc roms. At least they do for att. You can also root ics. I did it last night. Flash http://d-h.st/vjq through your custom recovery.

Yeah, just noticed root works with the official ICS, and there is no 3.2 on sammobile. Searched that site for way to long... 3.2 seems non-existent. Anyways as long as root works with ICS no worries.
Thanks.

Could you run this through RSD Lite and end up back on ICS?
Don't know a lot about this stuff but it was a thought...
There is currently NO way to flash back to ICS. Until there is a proven tested way I'd advise against it unless you want your phone to become an expensive paperweight.
