I had recently found an update zip on Motorola's servers that updates .206 > .209, thing is I was on .181
My understanding of how the servers work are that all these updates are dumped on them and then devices can pick through them with the system version number.
So, by changing the system version number on your phone, and then accessing the servers you could pull whatever updates are available for that system version. Still following me?
After the update has been downloaded it can be accessed through the cache folder on root of your system.
With these updates is there a chance we could unlock the bootloader? It's possible. Especially since cheesecake and ics aren't the best of friends.
So right to it.

What you need:
Rooted Motorola phone
Rom toolbox (optional)
Cheesecake app
File explorer with root access

What to do:
Set-up your servers on cheesecake (first option)
Reboot (These steps have been done already if you have used cheesecake before)
Go into Rom Toolbox from the market
On the second screen you can edit the build.prop
Scroll down a 1/3 of the way and you'll see ro.build.version.full
This is the device's system version, changing this makes the magic happen
The numbers that you want to change are the # marks
Blur_Version.#.##.###.XT912.Verizon.en.US
As of now your options are
6.11.748
6.12.181
6.14.75
6.14.79
6.14.84
6.14.85
6.16.203
6.16.204
6.16.206
6.16.208
After altering the version number you'll want to save it and reboot
Now give it a minute after you reboot so it can realize what is going on, don't know why but sometimes I couldn't check for updates if I jumped right on cheesecake after it rebooted, know it is going to be hard to wait a minute but.. just do it.
Open cheese cake and click your heart away!

Rinse, lather, and repeat!

If you find something you can post your finds here and I'm sure someone that is stuck can check it out and see what the good word is.
In case you don't know, after the file is completed you can access it with es file manager or root explorer under /cache folder on the root of your system, zip and crc file.


Now if you are interested in searching for bionic files there are builds 5.9.902 and 5.9.905 currently in use. You will also have to change the XT912 to XT875 in the ro.build.version.full
Example: Blur_Version.5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US
I'm sure this method could be used with any motorola versions (atrix droid 3 4 and so on), possibly on a non-motorola phones even?
Have fun with this and be careful not to brick! And don't blame me if you do!
