ICS Update Rolling Out for Motorola Droid Bionic

[SithLord0498]

A huge THANK YOU to user "Brom" for hosting the soak update package!! My 4G on Gingerbread has been horribly unstable for the past several days, and I was worried about the connection holding long enough for the eventual OTA push. I just finished installing his ZIP file using Recovery's "Update from SD" option, and I am now running a silky smooth ICS operating system! dancedroiddancedroiddancedroid

Do I lose Root with the OTA?

I used this file on my wife's non-modified bionic. Works just like an OTA. I just booted into recovery and installed.

I used HOB for mine.

Please tell me you guys that have received it bug-free? I am hoping for that, as we are still waiting on the Razr bug-fix firmware update, no word from any sources yet, may consider root to JB via Cyanogenmod if there isn't anything announced in the next 10-14 days...

If you have the ICS OTA on Bionic, can you report if Foxfi works?

246 is 100 times better than the bug filled update the RAZR people got

I wasn't part of the soak test, but did a "check for update" Friday morning and it popped up.

Pretty amazing, but today an old problem came back. For the last month or so JuiceDefender Ultimate won't boot on start. Looking at the app it says that it can't find ASOP and can't boot normally on Android 2.3+. Then it tries to force an install of ASOP Helper. Then it may start or not. Friday and Saturday it worked like it was supposed to. Ah well.

I used it today at the airport for over a 1/2 hr and it worked great to tether my ipad!

Well ICS makes juicdefender moot at this point as smart actions and swipe yo kill apps make the os run more efficiently. You can set smart apps up to turn off 4g when it's not available and use wifi for the majority of the time. Juice defender at that point is redundant I would feel.

I was not part of the soak test and I have not received the update. My phone is bone stock and never been rooted. Are they still rolling out the update or have I missed the boat?

 

[azdrifter]

For some reason I never get the updates even after I FXZ back to stock and leave the phone totally stock,... I leave it for a couple of weeks and nothing so I come on here and find the update and manually install it,..Done good thing we have such a generous community:biggrinancingNexus

How do I update manually?

Ok, so I am not very knowledable when it comes to doing anything technical with my Bionic. I downloaded the file that Brom listed and have it on my phone. I have pulled up the Recovery screen, but I can't seem to get the phone to update. Do I need to have the files extracted onto my SD card or the zip file? And, which file is the one I use to do the update?

Do not extract anything. Just move it from your download folder to your ext sd. Then go in to stock recovery, select update zip, then scroll down to the file and install.

Don't Like it

I don't notice any improvement.
I used to be able to move my emails from my inbox to any of my subfolders on IMAP, but now I can't. It won't let me move to subfolders.
It uses a lot more battery.
No support for Adobe flash, so I can't watch a lot of videos.

My phone is much more responsive after applying the update. The Verizon OTA push didn't work for me though since I had previously 4ever rooted my phone. Had to follow the instructions at this thread to get it updated. Now the only question I have is where to put my music files so that Google Play and/or Motorola Music will find them??
