I can confirm that I just followed these steps and then received the OTA ICS update and successfully installed it.

When downloading the image chrome did something weird and didn't finish the download even though it received all the data - I simply renamed the file to end in .zip, checked that the archive was ok and proceeded without any trouble.

Many thanks OP. Exactly what I was looking for.

PS: also the Motorola drivers you linked to aren't the newest anymore. If you install them and wait a few minutes it will offer to auto-update itself to 2.2.28.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Stoptheglaciers:
Tried it on other system with the original download and it worked fine, so now sure what's going on there.

Weird.

Thanks for the help!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] digitalr0gue:
Glad you got it going!

Once again, thank you. XDA should be every Android fans first stop. They always dumb it down enough for "the rest of us" to understand.

I'm not able to select "Decompress And Start Flashing" mentioned in step 9. Only option I can use is "Decompress" Can anyone help me?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bluevine:
You probably forgot to click on your device in slot 1 before doing that step. You can also do the decompress step first, then click on your device, then click start.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rex4235:
I can confirm that this process will work for reverting to 905 STOCK and allow for the ICS OTA update.

I had previously installed safestrap and it's ghost files (hijack, logwrapper/ logwrapper.bin) have been removed and I just completed the OTA update
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brownmichaelw:
Thank you

was on .223 and now that ICS is OTA, I needed something to get back.

SO THANK YOU for an easy, concise and well documented post. It is much appreciated.

Don't restore apps/data with Titanium BU?

I am rooted on .905 (still) and going to use your instructions to FXZ back to stock. I did an App and Data backup with Titanium in order to restore my apps and data before OTA'ing to ICS.

Why do you recommend not to use an app back up application for this purpose?

Thank you for your time and effort on supplying the rest of us the tools to fix our phones.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr. HQ:
Chrome seems to be the issue

I downloaded the 905 file using Chrome and it "completes" at about 377MB. (not correct) I used IE & the full 680MB came down.

Damn Chrome... IE Rules! :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] LannieB:
To Crobs - Thank you thank you thank you! I think I love you just a little ... If you're a chick, I love you in that non-gay way (not that there's anything wrong with that) ~ if you're a dude - maybe more than just a little ;o) ... I followed your instructions to the letter - and now, it runs like a spotted dog ... Was even able to stop a "how the heck did that start?!" OTA in progress thankyouverymuch! And for all of this - I am eternally grateful! - May your socks never fall down into your shoes and may your keyboard never fail you ... </geeklove>
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr. HQ:
Thank you

Currently downloading the 246 update OTA. Thank you so much for these instructions. Worked flawlessly!

I'm still sitting on 902, rooted, and have been putting off dealing with upgrading, because EVERY time I do it I ending up sitting in front of the PC cursing all weekend until I can work it out....and 6 months later it happens again, all all the stuff I learned before is obsolete:( I also depend on the thing for work) Prolly gonna give this a whirl this weekend, thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] gmm6797:
why is everything obsolete now? the phone hasnt changed?

all i want to do is (at least) unroot and put all back to normal OTA
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr. HQ:
Try 905

I installed 905, (unrooted) then performed OTA (still unrooted) to ICS 2.4.6 THEN rooted.

It works. DL & use the 905. I had trouble with 902 as well
[Motorola Droid Bionic] gmm6797:
which 905 did you use? I have 2 different versions and neither applied, I either had file signature issues or the RDS would never see the phone. thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr. HQ:
Do a search for...

VRZ_XT875_5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC.xml.zip

(gotta be around here somewhere) I can't remember where I got it from but I'm sure Google is your friend. It's 696,339 KB in size. I had a weird issue with Chrome when downloading. Only downloaded part of it so I used IE & everything was great after that. XDA needs an FTP for us late starters in this hobby :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] T_Dog:
I'm on ICS can i use this to go back to .902 stock? Using a previous .902 blur When i decommpress the file comes up saying please check input file. Either the XML format is wrong or image files associated with it is missing. When I try and download your BLur server is down.

Need help getting from ics to stock and then updating to the 246 official ics update

I am a complete noob the only reason i even have my bionic rooted is cuz i met this dude in the military and he did it for me. Now we both moved on and i am totally cluesless on how to do this...well not totally.

The files i have downloaded:

Well i downloaded everything off of obsidians page. And i also backed up every file from my internal and my sd onto a computer.

My questions are...

1. After i get back to 5.9 following this step by step instruction how do i update to 6.7.

2. Now do i just regularly download the official ics (im also wondering if this is what you guys are reffering to the 246 ics).

3. Then how do i install safestrap and flash new roms

4. What are the best roms out there for me to check out. Ive been running rag3 for several months now and i also heard that eclipse ics and icaris hd are 2 good ones. Do you guys recommend these and what else is pretty good.

5. Thank you in advance for your help.

ICS 6.7.246 stock back to GB 5.9.905

My BIONIC is as

SYSTEM Version 6.7.246.XT848

ANDROID Version 4.0.4

I want to get back to GB System version 5.9.905

I have done a from boot menu factory reset, but my phone seems slow and I often get FC windows, if I click Wait it will soon enough continue.

I see links that say if you are on the leaked ICS you can't go back. I am not on a leaked version, but on the OTA stock 6.7.246.

is this possible?

Just got GB/5.9.905 from eBay - keep it that way?

What are pros/cons of staying at this level? I am somewhat interested in upgrading to ICS, then rooting and adding GSM enablement for my T-Mobile pay/go SIM (using currently in Dell Streak 5). What are my options? Can I even upgrade to ICS, and not be forced to JB? I am new to all this MotoDroid stuff with references to Safestrap/FZX/radiocomm/etc (although I did some seam edits on a V325i back in the day - long ago, far away...).

The last few years I've been hacking mostly on WinMo 6.x VzW phones (Imagio, XV6900, XV6800) and Android 2.x tablets and that Streak. I have an Archos 80 with ICS and tried an LG Intution with ICS for a week recently, but returned it when I could not get it to tether with the June Fabrics app (day I returned it I found a bunch of info on MotoDroid tethering that might have worked... oh well, the LG was a bit of an awkward form factor anyway). I am not too impressed with all the gee-whiz ICS changes from Froyo/GB, but if I can whip them into shape, might take another shot at it. Main constraint for me is not to give up my unlimited data on VzW, and still be able to tether on it.

I have an idea of what can be done, but not the tools and terms specific to the Moto Droids. Any pointers to getting started tutorials would be appreciated. Linux-based tools would be especially appealing - I hate having to fire up WinXP or 7 to get anything done since I do it so rarely for personal use, and have to wait on catching up on all the patches before I dare go poking around the wild 'Net with it ;)

TIA,

No LTE support in radio?

Strange new twist on this situation: The phone would not charge through the USB port unless I "held" it a certain way, so I concluded it had a bad connection on the mobo, and went back to eBay for another with a cracked screen, and all else good. That works fine after a mobo transplant, BUT it does not seem to have a driver for the LTE part of the radio!.

I could not get anything but 3G after I got it all working (the original had gotten 4G/LTE fairly often around house, and when I went out with it), and reactivated the SIM. Reading another site's posting on that issue suggested I should get another SIM, so I did that today at nearby VzW store, but no help. Then I looked closely at the "About phone" section for each mobo (put original mobo together with cracked screen, and use a charged extra battery), and see the 2nd mobo "Baseband version" shows "CDMA_N_04.07.02R", while the original mobo shows "CDMA_N_04.07.02R LTEDC_U_07.1F.00".

It seems that would explain why I cannot get 4G/LTE now with the replacement phone, mobo, right? All the other version info on the "About phone" screen seems to match: Android, Webtop, Kernel, versions, and Build number.

Will this 5.9.905 FXZ process restore that 4G radio capability? Could I somehow just flash the 20MB radio.img file from the inclusive 2.1 GB (after expansion) XML file? Should I give up, and get the ICS update (not ready for JB issues, and loss of Flash just yet...)?

TIA.

R
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rokkywoof:
To answer my own question: NO - this flashing back to stock GB did not install the LTE radio driver/firmware - still getting only the CDMA version CDMA_N_04.07.02r, and no LTE version for "Baseband version" in "About phone". Could this be due to defective hardware, so the flashing process will not install the LTE driver/firmware if it does not detect the radio?

TIA,

R

Are you currently on .905? This is two updates ago, I'll check but I don't think I have the .905 fxz saved anywhere.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rboehner:
I'm also trying to restore my phone to stock but can't find the .905 file anywhere. Does anyone else have it where they could post or PM me?

If .905 isn't the stock version to do this back to, can someoen point me to the current one? I'm a relative novice to this area and it's been over a year since I last played around with root/flashing to ICS. My wifi hasn't worked since then, but I'm trying to get it set up to tether for the family on an upcoming road trip. My plan is to flash it back to stock, then update via OTA or flash a custom rom.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chrisp6825:
Unless the bionic is currently on an ICS leak version under .235 or any version of ICS/GB below, you cannot go back to Gingerbread Firmware (.905). Trying to do so will soft-brick your device.

If you're trying to update to the newest OTA, you might want to look into the House of Moto and update to the Jelly Bean OTA (9.8.2O-72_VZW-22). Going through the process of finding your current version, finding the matching FXZ, flashing, Downloading the newest OTA, and flashing is a bit of an unnecessary route. Using the House of Moto will allow you to just apply the newest OTA over your current setup, along with cleaning the system partition up.

If you are certain you are running an ICS leak version under .235, you can get a .905 FXZ to flash back to Gingerbread, and apply the ICS leak OTA to get back to where you are currently. I'm assuming this is not what you're after, since the only* reason to do this would be to just clean your device up ("super FDR"). Other than this reason, it's quite pointless.

The word "Stock" around here usually just implies any official/unmodded firmware that was intentionally released for the device, whether it be a Gingerbread, Ice cream sandwich, or Jelly Bean update. If you're aiming for a GB version, first make sure you're running an ICS version under .235, grab the .905 FXZ, and apply (with RSD lite or House of Moto).

For option 1, you don't need to make sure you're on a particular version. Just apply the FXZ and then optionally root, then ROM.

This might help you a bit : [FAQ] Jan 2014 Bionic handbook

If you are fully rooted and have an unlocked boot loader, I would suggest trying to boot into recovery from the app, ie ROM manager for cwm, not sure what else. I know on certain ROMs, you can boot into recovery from the power off/ reboot menu.
