FXZ to stock JB using the method outlined here that will put you at stock 4.1.2 and then you or whoever you sell it to can use it as is or safestrap it and goto a custom rom. I personally use the official AOKP JB 4.2.2 on mine and EVERYTHING works and is very stable. If you do use the AOKP it is a kexec kernel so it will have to be installed in ROM slot 2 in order to work.

1. Would HO!NO! Mod CM7.1.3 ICS Edition be slower than a stock android 2.2.1 (rooted)?
2. How would I backup my phone if I don't like the rom and how would I reinstall it?
3. If i install that particular mode mentioned above, Does that mean I have ICS on my phone?
thx. i'm a noob.

I'm guessing you're using a Milestone. I'm not familiar with the ROMs for it or backup/recovery procedures, but the one question I can answer is #3. You would have Gingerbread, not ICS if you installed that ROM. CM7 is based on Android 2.3, CM9 on Android 4.0 (ICS). As the first post in the thread you linked says, that ROM has a 2.3.7 base with ICS theming, which is kind of like putting a Mustang body on a Ford Tempo.

oh ok thx. but would the ICS theming have any performance impact or none? and yea i have a Milestone
first of all installing a custom rom makes u get plenty of features. 2nd it wont get u the brute speed of the official froyo but it gives many more features in the expense of speed
3rd yaa u can intall ics theme for cm7 theme chooser it will give you a clone of ics .....

This guide: [How To] Root, Backup, and ROM Your CDMA (nTelos) Milestone, didn't help because I have a Telus Moto Milestone and I think it has a locked bootloader.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516 this is the way to do in on our milestone
k thx. everything is working.
BUT now i get " no service " . I first got this when i installed open Recovery. How do i fix this? I tried changing my baseband to Canada and to telus but it still dones't work. I Also tried restoring the backup i installed and it still didn't work
BTW it is a Motorola Milestone from Telus ( i think it's a A853). But it was originally unlocked to be use on Rogers. I think the original .SBF file i used was the cause of the no service.
yaa most probably.. . thus bug has been noted down by many users .. why dont u flash the original sbf back and try?
add a thanks if it was helpfull

ok i finally fixed it for good (hopefully). I found out that even tho I bought Milestone in Canada, It was a Europe version. I randomlly picked the UK .sbf and now I have service.
thx for all your help shalom06
For droid bionic: custom rom such as Eclipse and Liberty, are they based on the stock moto rom or based on CM7?
wow this is a premature and unneccary thread go to adroid development stickied rom/scripts/hacks etc.. it has a line up if they are 902 based 901 896 etc... click on the link it will probably bring you to rootz wiki and the rom will tell you if it is stock etc.. kinex is stock based eclipse has customized but has parts of blur still in it but is mainly aosp.
search button is your friend
Sorry, if you feel this as unnecessary thread. I did mention the question as newbie question. I did look/search & couldn't find the answer I was looking for. The reason I asked is that whichever custom rom I look, it REQUIRES some specific version from moto original rom such as 902, 901, 893 version to be compatible with that particular rom. That's why I though those custom rom are based on moto rom. I just want to understand why can't we just flash to custom rom like CM7 on bionic. If you can give me a clear answer it will be great.
Thanks in advance.

The reason that you can't flash CM7 over top of stock is this:
Think of CM7 as an "update", since we are on a locked bootloader.
Now, we can't change the kernel, which is the core of the Android OS.
So, with CM7 we can't have everything that CM7 has to offer.
So devs port the CM7 code so it will work with our kernel.
This means that whatever kernel version the dev uses to write CM7 must be installed before you flash CM7. Otherwise you have a ROM with a kernel that is not compatible with it (and that is not good). It would be the same as flashing a ROM meant for an HTC phone to a Motorola phone like ours. It just wouldn't work.
Thanks, Priddyma, for explaining .....
So, basically, custom roms for bionic such as Eclipse & Liberty are built based on particular moto locked kernel, right? Is it also the case with new bionic roms with ICS features, are they built around the .902 kernel with ICS features?
Another question, when we do OTA official updates, for instant update from .893 to .902, the official updates (from Motorola) are capable of flashing to different kernel? In other words, is it possible to flash kernel (If you are Motorola dev & have the unlock code)?
What I want to know is that in the future, if Motorola is nice enough & could release the unlock code so that we can flash bootloader/kernel to whatever we want.
It's already been stated by verizon that it's them locking the bootloader, and not moto.

Willis111 posted a CWM version of the stock Bell 2.3.6 (I believe it is rooted) - He posted it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465153&highlight=bell+2+3+6
I think the download link is hosted by rapidshare so hopefully your phone will be able to download straight to the sdcard... good luck!
leersp yes I've done that before but I dont want CM9, i want stock GB, or any 100% functional GB
LazioDroid, thanks so much, I wish I had the bell version, mines actually the Verizon version?
Would that link work, or is there a verizion one?
Or CAN SOMEONE BACKUP THEIR ROM USING RECOVERY (SAFESTRAP) AND UPLOAD IT
and i can restore?
Ah... an XT862... I'm not sure if the bell cwm will work for ya.
I recommend a custom rom (Liberty). Or - others have had really good things to say about MavROM4! Both arfe available here in the Droid 3 development forum

IMO, ROM Manager just causes more headaches than it solves and I recommend ditching it for the D3 at least. As for a stock ROM for VZW, there is a 906 debloated, optimized, etc. ROM floating around here. It was built from the leak, which is the same as the OTA.
Here it is...

So I've pushed the ICS leak onto my Bionic (Build number 6.7.2-223) and after having it on there for a while, i'm looking to restore the phone since it's been slowed down really bad now. My question is, what would be the best thing to do? Should i go to Factory data reset and reset it that way? I'm aware that there's a build number that works that's ahead of mine (-232?). Should I upgrade to that? If so, should I just follow these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771993 steps? Anyway, thanks for the help!
Edit: I do want to keep ICS on there. I'm not looking to restore it completely back to Stock.

I'm not sure but are you aware that ICS .246 is the current software for the bionic (not a leak but an official build)? My suggestion would be to RSDlite the thing to the stock firmeware of .246. Then install SS 3.11 and make a partition and install a nice rom. As for rooting the motofail root works just fine on the ICS stock build.

SS = Safe Strap version 3.11
As for Roms so far the fastest Jelly Bean Rom is Icarus, but it doesn't have all the frills of the newer Cyanogen mods. As for ICS Roms I like Blurry Maxx or Eclipse. Google search should find them. Also there are roms in the Bionic Development section of xda here you can browse and see what some of the features are. Good luck.

Personally I would go with Eclipse, they recently released v 1.3 that runs great (way better than stock). I tried BurryMaxx but its pretty overclocked so the battery drain is quite a bit more than eclipse. Honestly I don't think you really need the OC as long as you make sure to use task killer frequently enough. I tried AOKP and CM10 for the JB roms but neither of them were ready to be daily drivers, I had issues with phones not ringing/vibrating, screen of death, etc. (and of course the standard camera issues).

@sd_shadow has a stock nandroid backup you can use in his google docs folder located here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zKJ22e26gDD54YXYRWZE5IlL71MJa6pXDJ_EshpLDUU/edit
Big thanks to sd_shadow for his folder full of Droid 4 goodies
use the correct Stock Rom Nandroid ics or jellybean
Thanks a million. Got my phone restored in no time. Thanks again!
I have the same problem. By mistake I reflashed (deleted) stock rom with CM 10.2.1 (Android 4.3.1) in Safetrap.
What can I do now to recover the stock rom?
Can I use "Stock Nandroids" from google docs above (I cant post links, because Iam new member) ??? And if yes, which one?
Or I cant use it a must take this long procedure ? - "Restore your Motorola Droid 4 (XT894) to stock" from google docs above.
Thank you for your reply.
the jellybean nandroid should work fine

The jellybean nandroid does not work. I placed unziped folder in internal sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS and try to restore in safestrap 3.60 but the safetrap didnt see the backup (
if safestrap can not see it, it is not placed correctly

You can not downgrade stock firmware, because of the locked bootloader.
There maybe a modified stock GB rom that is compatible with Safestrap or Boot Manager Menu, but don't think so.
There are a few good modified Jellybean stock roms that work well.
Well that is interesting most other phones you can....cause I mainly love the interface and I think the performance would be far better than on JB or ICS hmmm.....well if you can downgrade the bionic back to gingerbread.....then I may go with that one cause its another viable option or are all the droid lines locked with their boot loader

none of the Motorola Droids can be downgraded, unless there is an exception with the Bionic, I don't have one.
