Okay so I have noticed that there are still some people out there having issues with either going back from Update .901 or have dropped into a (Boot Failure) mode and cannot find a solution. I have decided to post up what works for me. Mind you I have personally and purposely bricked my Bionic multiple times to ensure that this works. However:
I am in no way responsible for any permanent damage you do to your phone. If you have an issue I will do the best I can to assist as I’m sure the rest of the members will. But you take full responsibility for anything you decide to attempt.
While some of you have been able to use the one click method provided by , some of you can’t follow through with the fix due to the (Boot Failure) or (CDT Failure). I have changed some of the files in the One Click method provided by. These files worked for me multiple times but I cannot gauruntee they will do the same for you. But if you are brave enough giver er hell.
Step One: Download these files. You will need all three if you want to go through to .901. Each update is labeled as such to limit the confusion. Once downloaded move all folders to your desktop and unzip the CDT file ONLY!!!

Step Two: Plug your Bionic in via USB. Once plugged in you can either boot into Fastboot mode by holding the POWER + VOLUME DOWN. If you are in (CDT Failure) you won’t be able to reach fast boot but that’s okay. In fact “Fastboot” mode isn’t necessary as long as you are in one of these error screens.
Step Three: Open the folder labeled “CDT_BOOT_FIX” and double click “EVERYTHING”. The system will begin running the install of the files contained. ALL FILES SHOULD SUCCEED. Not one of these files should fail and in the event one does please post so we may figure it out together.
Edit: You will need to also download this and place it into the unzipped CDT folder:

Sorry I must have forgotten to add it originally when composing the file.
Step Four: Once the files have finished running, reboot your Bionic. You should now have a running system. YOU ARE NOT FINISHED YET, so please pay attention. Failure to do so will only cause you to go through this again.
Step Five: Move the Update files (893 if you only want to go that far or 893 and 901 to go all the way) to your SD card. Make sure both files are on the root of the SD card. Now shut down your phone.
Step Five: Boot into recovery and choose “Update Zip on SD Card”. Choose the 893 file and click okay. Your phone will now install the 893 update. Reboot. STILL NOT DONE. As noted below if you plan to go to the .901 update then you can skip step six and just flash both the 893 and 901 one right after the other. If only going to 893 then proceed to step six.
Step Six: Your phone will now boot into “CDT Failure”. Make sure your Bionic is plugged into the USB port. Hover your mouse over the “CDT_BOOT_FIX” folder, hold SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK your mouse. A pop-up box comes up. Click “Open Command Prompt Here”. Once the Command Prompt comes up type:
moto-fastboot flash cdt.bin cdt.bin
/\ You can copy and paste this if you would like.
Your phone will now flash the CDT file. It should succeed. Once this is complete you are full OTA 893. You now have the choice of booting into recovery and loading the 901 file should you choose to do so.
That should be it. Thank you to all who have contributed. The scripting for the Everything command came from P3DROID. If you object to me using it please let me know. I appreciate it but the files can be run manually so no biggy. Thanks
If you have any problems feel free to ask
