Who is waiting for the OTA ICS??

[SamuriHL]

Worse case you have to reset up your phone again in 905. As I mentioned before. But the 905 FXZ will get you back to a working phone one way or another.

OMG that is so complicated. This is a nightmare.

What about your instructions for this? Isn't this easier? http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/214902-downgrade-902-no-app-data-loss.html#post2173723

NEVER post a phone number on a forum! And no, I don't do that kind of support. Follow this:

Specifically step 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. (Don't worry about cdt.bin....that won't be an issue). I don't know if that will delete data or not. I don't believe it will. But it'll get you directly back to 905. Again, though, if this isn't working, I'd be very weary of taking the official ICS build cause you're likely to run into the same issue and you WON'T be able to go back from that. Ever.

Only if you want to do a complete and total restore to 905 with factory default. I don't have an option to restore to 905 without wiping ALL data...that includes the internal memory.

 

[brunla]

I don't care at this point. I just need my phone back.
In the DOwngrade to 902 instructions it says "install Moto drivers". Is that in the house of bionic full zip file?

Also if I just return my phone to Verizon in this state will they give me a new one?

No they won't give you a new one for this. sigh. And no, it's not included in the house of bionic zip. It's got a link there in the post. Stop panicing, relax, get my FULL zip file, and I will post a new update to install on top of it that will return you to 905 with no data loss. I'm working on it right now. Read the ENTIRE first post of that thread though. ALL of it.

I was going to erase my phone number, so please edit it out of your posts. thanks

Don't worry. There's a lot of newbie members that when they set up their profile and see "Enter Current Phone Here" they enter their current phone........NUMBER.

The phone is in APfastboot mode
Says:

Leave the phone in AP Fastboot. Open SDL.exe in the rsd directory, then click the ... and go to the rsd_scripts directory, and pick the HouseOfBionic(KEEPDATA).xml script. Click start.

 

[SamuriHL]

And if that doesn't work I posted a new PATCH here:

But you should be able to run it manually.

 

[brunla]

OK it says in process on my desktop screen, but nothing happening on phone. I assume that is correct.

[SamuriHL]

Yes. Leave it alone until the phone reboots. If this doesn't work, you'll have to use the FULL FXZ which will wipe the phone. I'm guessing you have corrupt data on your phone somewhere. That's not really great at all and probably why the update didn't work so well. And the OTA update probably won't fix it.

 

[brunla]

Looks like it did a full reset. Brought me to the google sign in screen, which it will now not let me get past.
Oh well. At least it is 905 and I can return the phone now.
Something must be corrupted. It sucked before this as well.
Not so much of a snap!
Thanks for your help

Lol @ people waiting for the ics update when they can just easily install the 232, which isnt going to be much different from the ota update.

And “early Q3"... now september? lmao... have fun waiting!

That's exactly what I'm screamin'! Quit whining about 905 and flash a leak already!
