New ICS Leak for Bionic

Youtube works, just any site that plays flash videos doesn't.
We can't control what happens after the radio flash in recovery can we? It automatically reboots at that point. If you're fast enough you can catch it manually and hold the volume buttons but you need to be sitting there watching it. Grr. That's the part that I'm trying to automate. Do we need to flash the radio for these updates? That's a better question.....will the update fail if the radio is newer than the one in the update...

No, updates don't assert the radio. All you need is the boot, system, preinstall and the webtop.
SWEET. Then I think this can work. There's a little manual work involved but take a pass at this script and see what you think please.
EDIT: Ok, here's the final script I came up with.
Here's my warning. It works for me. But, if you use this, it is 100% AT YOUR OWN RISK. I can't take responsibility for what this does to your phone!!!
Installation:
You must have the official 902 FXZ to start.
902 FXZ dir = VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml
Take the script below, and create a batch file in your 902 FXZ dir from its contents.
This will require moto-fastboot to execute. Either add it to the 902 FXZ dir or add it to your path so it can be found.
Optional - unzip razrs_edge_windows into the 902 FXZ dir if you want to apply root.
Usage:
Ensure you have the 905 update and the latest ICS update on your sdcard-ext before attempting this!
Execute your batch file. Enjoy

I have updated my previous post with the final script I came up with. Good luck if you attempt to use it. It'll basically revert to 902 and keep your data and walk you through booting into recovery and manually applying 905 and finally the latest ICS update. This will allow us to keep applying leaks as they come and eventually we'll get to the official OTA update. No data loss and it seems to work well for me. Thanks to Timmy10shoes for his help (as always!).

The whole creating a file batch thingy is beyond me... hahaha I think a guide of the first part would be helpful to us layman who rely HEAVILY on you guys for help. may teach us something so we could pay it forward and understand exactly what we are doing! Thanks.

Well, the creating a batch file is the simplest part of this process. Copy the lines up above and paste it into a new text file in something like notepad++. Save it as "RUNME.bat" in the 902 FXZ dir. As long as moto-fastboot is in your path or in the 902 FXZ dir, it'll run fine. This process isn't necessarily for the faint of heart. If something does go wrong, you may need to use the full 902 FXZ with RSD Lite to restore your phone. And that will reset it to factory defaults. So, I'd advise anyone trying to use this method to BACK THAT STUFF UP FIRST. Please.
Hey SamuriHL why do you have so many more moto-fastboot commands than timmys manual 902 FXZ? what are they doing and why didnt timmy seem to find them necessary?
Timmys:
cd desktop/902 (enter)
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img (enter)
moto-fastboot flash system system.img (enter)
moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img (enter)
moto-fastboot flash webtop grfs.img (enter)
moto-fastboot erase cache (enter)
moto-fastboot reboot (enter)

They are not necessary, but it doesn't hurt either. He took the time to include all the images except the radio because after the flashing of the radio it will automatically finish the flash in recovery and reboot the system. All the extra images are small and flash quickly.
right on.. thanks guys.. so i flashed everything last night with just timmys commands and everything went great and im now running 229 and all my apps, launcher, and homescreen were just as i had left them, which was awesome! they only problem was that when 229 fired up, like 5 or 6 of my 'always on' apps (i.e. tasker, one of my weather widgets, a calender widget, etc.) were force closing at boot and kept force closing every few seconds. however, i was able to fix them by reinstalling and re-applying the market link patch, oddly enough. but the one i am stuck on is the native system email app. no matter what i do it keeps force closing. battery pull, re-wipe cache in recovery, disabled the email app cleared data and re-enabled, i had deleted the original account i had setup so now it just force closes everytime i go to input the outgoing server step in setup. so... any other ideas other than re-fxz-ing and re-flashing?
