I've heard rooting isn't a problem but you can't fxz back to.905 so if this build turns out to be a dead end you may have a hard time getting back on the upgrade path and the official ICS when it comes out. I think I would wait a month or two for the final ROM or at least till someone figures out how to get back to .905

*Edit* I have now ran across a couple of posts saying it is possible to get back to .902 via the pathsaver method over at New ICS Leak for Bionic - Page 15


Also, I read that when installing the ICS leak you lose all the data on your internal memory, but I didn't.

Nope - because 1) I never installed 2231, and 2) it would require me to now FXZ to .902 --> apply .905 update --> install the 2231 update *after* finding it for download somewhere. And it's already after midnight here and I have to be up in 5 hours for work :p

2233 is the most recent leak, *AND* it has a lot more of that original bloat that came with the BIONIC as stock .886, so I'm sticking with it, until something newer comes down the pipeline.

I don't think john will be sleeping tonight lol. This ICS leak is too awesome. :)

Everything is really smooth. No glitches found yet except for the webtop issue but that's easily fixed. Tomorrow I'll be testing smart actions and the data connection since I've been home on wifi.

I'm so happy right now. :D

So for those of us who aren't comfortabe installing this incremental leaks, what in your educated opinions is about the time we can expect this to be finally released OTA? Not looking for a firm date, just your best educated guess.

Thank you :)

My best guess, earliest would be in two weeks. They just released the Razr and Maxx ICS updates today so two weeks would coincide with Moto's promise of an early 3rd quarter release for the Bionic and D4.

The latest Bionic ICS leak is pretty darn close to a perfect official release so a 7/6/2012 release date would not be out of the question. The latest date would be probably end of July.

for those interested on keeping previously installed apps/data and getting verification errors during ICS update install...

wipe cache
fastboot boot, system, webtop, preinstall, recovery (all 902)
reboot and get 905 ota (ick 4g service)
reboot recovery and flash ICS

want root on ics?
use razrs edge

Should be good to go, I was. On ICS 2233 and loving 4g on it!

Never 2 far from gone.
