MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS AT LEAST 50% BEFORE TRYING THIS.



This will wipe everything but your external sd-card.

If you are on GB or a ICS leak 6.7.232 or less you can flash any file in this thread. If you are on ICS 6.7.246 or any leak from 6.7.235 to 6.7.247 you can only flash 6.7.246, the modified 6.7.246, 98.72.22, or the modified 98.72.22. If you are on JB 98.72.22 you can only flash 98.72.22 or the modified 98.72.22 files

Use the back USB ports on a desktop. On a laptop it does not matter. Use usb 2.0 ports as there are issues with usb 3.0 and rsdlite.


Everything you download will be to your computer desktop.
1. Download one of the FXZ files. Use the md5 sum checker to make sure the sums match and the file is not corrupt.
2. Download Motorola drivers to your desktop or use Moto helper device manager.
3. When it is done downloading click on it and install
4. download RSDLite 5.7 to your desktop.
5. When it is done downloading click on it and install
6. start RSDLite 5.7

15. let the program run until your phone reboots. rsdlite screen will say 22/22 complete.
16. when the green android is up you are done.
17. click on the green man and log in with your google account.

Some time RSDLite does not say complete but the android will show up on your phone. It is complete don't worry about the warnings.

Good Luck

Make sure your laptop battery is charged or you have a backup power supply for your desktop. Just to be safe.


If RSDLite is giving you issues there is a manual way to flash the files using fastboot.


download this file and unzip.

unzip your 5.9.905, 6.7.246 or 98.72.22 fxz file (the one you downloaded from above) to the same location as moto-fastboot

Put your phone into fastboot mode by press and hold the volume down and power button at the same time on the phone. The fastboot menu will appear. plug your phone into your computer.

navigate in windows to the location you have everything unzipped to. click on the file symbol in the top left corner and when the bar becomes highlighted type cmd and enter if you have win 7. A comand prompt will come up. If not go to start and type cmd and hit enter. when the prompt comes up type cd c:\location of file with moto-fastboot and fxz file unziped

type and hit enter after each step

moto-fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
moto-fastboot flash mbmloader mbmloader.bin
moto-fastboot flash mbm mbm.bin
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
moto-fastboot flash cdt.bin cdt.bin
moto-fastboot erase cache
moto-fastboot erase userdata
moto-fastboot flash lbl lbl
moto-fastboot flash ebr ebr
moto-fastboot flash mbr mbr
moto-fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
moto-fastboot flash system system.img
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
moto-fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
moto-fastboot flash webtop grfs.img
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
moto-fastboot reboot

you should be on 5.9.905, 6.7.246 or 98.72.22
all your data except on your sd-ext will be erased. If you want to keep your data skip the step for erase userdata.

Added 6.7.246 fxz and modified 6.7.246 fxz

What is the difference between the modified files and how do I determine which one to use. I have read through all of these guides and COMPLETELY understand the process. All of my questions have been answered from reading. If it is a dumb question, I apologize in advance. Thank You all for your time with this forum. It is awesome!

It depends on what you are on. If you are on any GB or an ICS leak 6.7.232 or before you can use either modified. If you are on an ICS leak 6.7.235 or higher you need to use the 6.7.246 modified or just 6.7.246

[Quadroller]

Ok, Thank You Dfib. Here is where I'm @. I got my bionic about a month ago. it was refurbished in Aug and came with .905 already on it. I got noob crazy before finding as good of guides as to what is here and went into it blind. I rooted and flashed a modded rom and before haveing a really good understanding as to how it all works, I deleted some key sys apk's that were required for my contacts to function properly. I know better now. I fixed the contact issues and unrooted using motofail and did a factory reset. After that I tried flashing the official leak through stock recovery and it did not take. So that's where I'm at. Ive got to start from the beginning.

Just to give you a clean start I would flash the 6.7.246 fxz. If you have any pictures or anything important on your internal sd-card save it to your computer before flashing because it will wipe everything but your sc-card-ext.

Is it normal for all the device properties to show as N/A when you click on your phone in RSD lite? Your picture didn't show that. thanks.

[dfib]

thats fine.

Is 98.72.22 the latest version out for the bionic? Wanting upgrade my mom's phone and want the latest version. I have a Razr M and don't know much about the bionic.

[nprevette420]

Safe to use RSDLite 6.1.4 to flash? Or Does it have to be. 5.7? By the way,  Motorola USB drivers has updated from 5.7.0 to 6.0.0

[soocold]

IIRC 6.1.5 is out now. put i can personally vouch that 5.7 works with the newest fxz file. worst case scenario is the flash fails and you use the older version of RSDLite

[giant25]

I ended up performing a manual flash using the fastboot commands at the end of the OP.  All of them worked fine (phone is up and running) except for moto-fastboot flash webtop grfs.img, presumably because webtop is missing from the full JB FXZ link I used in the OP.  Does anyone know where I can find the webtop image, and can I fastboot flash it manually on my working phone, or do I have to start all over?  Thanks.

Great guide thx
