@AmbitiousKitten as far as benefits.. it is ics so you will experience
overall improved performance plus more functuonality with new features, you
can alwats fxz back to stock .905 gingerbread, this may void your warranty,
technically with ics there is a root check that shows up in stock recovery
so verizon will know if youve rooted
You need to be on stock 5.9.905 for this install to work. You also need to
be unrooted. To unroot your device, search youtube for "unroot any android
device" and select the first video and follow the steps. Once you're
unrooted, follow the steps in the vid and you should be good.
Another few questions, lol. Sorry. But will you be able to "undo" the
update if you don't like it? Will this do anything to my warranty or cause
any drama with Verizon? I thought I was pretty tech savvy, but I've entered
a whole new realm of knowledge with this stuff!
its been 4 days since ics came out for bionic, i have still not had the ota
update, i had the leak before, but i fxz'd bak to stock to get the update
but fuck it aint nvr came thru so back to the leak i go, i aint one for
waiting lololololololol
well dude i hate to bother u so much but i did what u said, then it wouldnt
get past the cyanogen mod 1st boot so i tried to restore my nandroid backup
and now the phone seems bricked what can i do? if anything?
i noticed you didnt have service when you installed the leak is this
because you already didnt have service or is this something with the leak?
if it is how do you get service back once youve done the leak
Verizon is still pushing out the 5.9.905 update to bionic owners. A new
batch of people just received the update today so this is probably why they
haven't started the ics rollout yet.
@Dave McWilliams i would try to go straight to ics leak if you are totally
unrooted 905. if it doesnt work then you will need to fxz to 902 install
905 then install ics leak
i downloaded the leak and everything and it booted fine but it is stuck on
upgrading media database anything i can do to fix it or is it suppose to
take this long?
After I updated to ICS. I went to Moto site and re-updated the drivers.
Originally I thought I didn't have to update the drivers because the phone
was being recognized by my PC. After re-updating the drivers, I started
getting that annoying browser pop from VZ every time I plugged my phone
again. I also changed by USB connection from Mass Storage to MTP. I also
disabled the Virus software from ZoneAlarm; it was blocking the program. I
ran the "run.bat" file again and it worked. Hope this helps!
I have rooted Bionic on 4.0.4 and now I am unable to access safestrap. The
apk is installed, the recovery is installed , but the menu or search have
no response when touched. So after 10 seconds it boots normally. But I am
unable to access safestrap recovery. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
OKAY I was able to root my Bionic on ICS. I had to factory reset my phone,
and then it let me root it. I don't know why but that is what I had to do.
So if anyone is having the same issue I was having try a factory reset
first.
Thanks. I have updated drivers, debugging on, tried razrs edge, and
motofail. Nothing works still says waiting on device, correct cable etc.
Must be doing something wrong. Also tried on multiple pc's too.
so ive tried this and motofail since flashing the ics leak .232 and my
superuser doesnt work properly. i have it but everything (including
superuser) gets denied superuser permissions. help please?
My droid bionic had a couple of problems with Android 4.0.4. Mostly with
the touch screen being too sensative. Follow your instruction and seems to
have worked beautifully....thank you very much.
Success!!! Took me a while but after Moto drivers were installed and
computer restarted for them to take effect, I was able to root my DB!!!
First root ever and first time upgrading anything ;)
Answered my own question. In fact, I did not have the correct drivers. It
has recognized it and is now going through the process. Thank you for this
video and link to the zip :)
razrsedge stopped running after daemon started phase. Never went to the
rebooting parts. Now when I try to run again, it just keeps saying "waiting
on device. Any advise?
it does not seem to be working for me. I have updated the moto drivers but
it is still setting at deamon started successfully, thats all it does. any
ideas?
Yes I just tryed a diff USB cable having the same issue. I let it set for
20min and it just sets at *daemon started successfully* I am stumped

I am running Android 4.0.4, I am rooted, I used safestrap 3.0, I flashed
the elcipse 1.2.1 in rom slot 1 and made it active. Everything works great,
but I can no longer connect to wifi. I am on wifi at my college and my
phone is registered with my Mac address. When I try to get on it just keeps
connecting and disconnecting. Can anyone help?
hei . i got a question . last night i tried to install eclipse on my droid
3 . safestrap 3 + superuser , got em . thing is i do the exact things but
when i reboot it wont pass the gray screen . i left my home for like 2 h (
over night ) in the gray screen hoping it will pass it but nope ... any
ideas ? :(
Sorry im a complete noob but im really confuse about the description to
install. It says must be running some sort of ICS? So im on one of the
eclipse GB rom and i want to get to the new ICS rom. Step by step
instructions would be really really grateful please. Thanks in advance! Btw
i love eclipse roms!
Hahahah!!! What a boot animation xD. I finna try thiz one out. I missed
some things the first time i installed it so i got the weirdest boot
animation and it kept repeating and never booted. Maybe cuz i missed those
few things
I've been trying to do this install and when I go to flash the Rom it keeps
telling me Unable to open Zip file, flash failed.. Any ideas? Doing it on a
Rooted Razr running ICS Safestrap 3.11 and installed Eclipse 1.5. Thanks.
Does It matter if i had Bionic BootStrap Installed before? Will It brick my
Bionic if i put safestrap on there also. I took everything from the bionic
bootstrap off the phone...
@Jess Patton if you phone is registered with its mac address then that
might have changed by flashing the rom check the mac address and make sure
you are registered correctly
ive done everything im a noob also im at the installing part I put it in my
Download folder but when I click it its not one zip its a whole bunch of
files @tomsgt123
@iImnotlegitt iy sounds like after you downloaded the rom that you
extracted the files to a folder. redownload the rom and leave it as a zip
ans you will be fine.
I had major problems with this!I could not use at all. Everything would
force close. Say "unexpectedly stopped" to everything. Just sitting at home
page. And every second ut would do it.
below are the links to the files you need also go browse droidhive as their website contains alot of good information about the bionic such as regualarly updated ...

I have the ice cream sandwich update on my droid bionic and its nice, but
the thing is that it sucks the hell out of my battery life. Literally
within like 4 hours my battery life goes down to like 25% and the phone is
hot as hell and Im not even using the phone at all, like as in not surfing
the web on it or calling, its just on standby.
@Deriko Green its not an advertisement that's just go daddy they host
droidhives website unfortunately droidhives got hacked so it's been down
for a long time when they recover. I wish I could point you in the right
direction for the files but I feel Google would be best just make sure you
get the same leak build as I showed In the video
@Finnian McGillivray be careful the new ics leak you can't go back on with
this method you have ever to try the new fzx 905 that was released two days
ago. So just proceed with caution I would use the one in the video till
official comes out. Because it's really stable
I have a problem with my camera and flash. They will not initialize. I
tried secondary apps, and those dont work either. No clue why, i thought it
might have been a software issue and thats why im trying to flash to ICS,
could this be causing me problems at all?
This is bullshit, everytime i try to downlad ICS from a link that sends me
to droidhive there is nothing but some advertising shit. i even typed in
ICS in the droid hide search and it doesn't even say it can't find it. It
just reloads the same page. WTF!!!!!!!
for the bionic phone the zip file
"VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml" has to be unzipped
before using it in RSDlite... Here's an "all in one" download - has
everything you'll need ht t p://rootzwiki.co
m/topic/27718-bionic-902-all-in-one/
thanks man, just waiting on official release of ics rumor has it that it
was supposed to be tomorrow but is going to be delayed... haven't uploaded
any more videos due to managing a minecraft server but ill get around to
making some more tutorials.
I managed to keep the device running long enough to load AOKP Milestone 6
and install it on my safe system (Safestrap 2.0) AOKP runs better than the
232 leak but it still locks up and sometimes reboots. is this normal
behavior for these roms?
my unit keeps freezing shortly after I unlock the screen and then reboots.
sometimes it doesnt finish booting. I flashed 232 is there a way i can try
to re-flash 232 after downloading it from another source?
Okay, i ran into a problem when trying to FXZ back to 902. It failed
because the battery says low, but i cant get the battery to charge, i left
it plugged in, with the screen off all night.
Strange thing, i plugged it into my computer getting ready to start the
process over and it loaded, im at the Welcome screen to choose a language,
we shall see where this takes me.
Droid Bionic ECLIPSE 3.0 Rom [FULL REVIEW] Fast and Stable ICS
//DroidModderX.com Twitter @DroidModderX Be sure to Subscribe to this channel for more Android and Tech News!
Great rom and great battery life! Many thanks to u, guy! I have the problem
with data connection. when i turn on edge but there's nothing happened.
phone information in *#*#4636#*#* shows that GPRS connection is EDGE. I'm
on GSM baseband in Vietnam. Have rooted and changed radio chipset to GSM.
Could u help me?
i appreciate any attention the Bionic gets since it has become Moto's
red-headed step child. Pardon the expression for of you Gingers out there.
I will give it shot since i just got a lapdock for 50$ so I'm back to .905
stock for now.
Hey, I have a couple questions and would like if I could talk to an expert
like you about every step in doing this. That's if you don't mind, your
help would be much appreciated. Please email me at
[email protected] please!
great Rom and it's working flawlessly BUT when I try to back it up I get
this Error message: "ERROR WHILE MAKING A BACKUP IMAGE OF /SYSTEM!" Any
suggestions or a fix would be great appreciately. Thanks Shane!
Make sure that when you download Eclipse.zip, you put it in your EXTERNAL
SD CARD, not your internal memory or else when you wipe your system
files/cache, you will accidentally wipe your .zip file.
This rom is flawless 4 me been running it 4 a while and got it themed out
its awesome but not ics no data drops..... till the official ics release
and fxz ability this is what ill be running
I switched from axiom ics to eclipse 3.0 and this automatically changed the
build number from 902 to 905. Will the build number stay at 905 if I change
roms again?
I have it installed on the safe partition on safestrap. My phone gets stuck
at the eclipse boot animation and I'm not sure as to how to fix this. Any
ideas?
Got it on the first try, looks great and runs even better. Only issues I
have had are, it did take a while for data to "stick " but after toggling
LTE on and off maybe a dozen times it took and also having the problems
with the soft keys. After one reboot it stopped but since my last reboot
the problem has come back. If you have any suggestions on how to fix it
that word be awesome, but other then that this is an amazing Rom. Great
work.
Hey. Um you know how when you go into about phone. There's like a whole
list of info. Like status updates. Legal, system version.model number
(which is bionic) etc. Well all the ics I've flashed all those lists were
only like 4lines. And its weird that it said the model number was xt875
instead of DROID bionic. And the system version or build or whatever was at
the bottom nd said blah blah* ics. ??
i did i re wiped it wiped the cache and wiped devik and formatted the
system and then installed the zip from the sd card and them goes thru but
wont activate it sets up fine if i hit skip but no activation...what should
i do? i went back to liberty rom and everything activated fine. i really
want this rom.
@kaseytc I think the chrome beta requires the 2d gui acceleration which
hasn't been fixed yet. The way to tell if that works is the settings menu
in android will have a grey gradient rather than a solid black background.
Once they accomplish this the whole phone should also be much much smoother.
Maybe its just because ive only had it running for a couple hours, but i
have toggled ever combination of wi-fi, cdma, and gsm etc. I get it to show
4G (i am in a 4g area) and get it to show 3g, but it is always grey and
thus not actually working. Is there something im missing?
Thank you. One more question.... when I go to reboot it always sends me
into clockwork recovery??? from there I just reboot now but I didn't ask to
go to recovery. Is there a fix for that of am I stuck with pushing the
power button one more time the the norm. Thank you
I wrote my first comment to soon, just looked at the Devs page and someone
suggested toggling auto brightness on and off and that fixes the problem. I
have tried it and toggled it about 6 times, and it does work for me. Good
luck everyone, hope the tip helps.
Anything broken in this? I really want to do ICS, but I hear the front
camera doesn't work and HDMI out doesn't work (I use those a lot). Is it
true I just shouldn't bother then with ICS untill a firmware has been
released by moto? Thanks man!
some problems i have with mine .... when i restart the phone or power it up
it reboots clock work recovery. also when i have the phone in idle the the
bottom icons on the phone stay lit. anyone else having these issues?
Front cam ain't working for me, and rear facing only tops out at 5mp
instead of the 8mp it can really go up to. Hoping its something that's
fixed on the next update.
I installed this but now YouTube video is not running smoothly unless in HD
mode. Is there a fix for this. I have had this same issue with all the ics
roms.
Thanks for the video. Love the rom, but unable to get Chrome Beta working,
all I get is a blank screen. Anyone else having this problem, or know of a
fix?
Things will be buggy till an official build is releases... Try the new
eclipse.. It seems to be the most stable.. I have a video I'll put out
later today

risk bricking?
