I just checked in Rom Manager and there it was "Motorola Droid Bionic" WOOOOHOOOO
Already made a back-up and no issues! Thanks to all the devs who helped to make this happen.
Acts like it installs but when I hit reboot to recovery it just does normal boot.

I didn't have that problem. Uninstall bootstrap recovery, maybe?

Koush said to make certain CVPCS' bootstrap is installed first.
That would be why then thanks

This may be true, BUT when I bootstrap into recovery via ROM manager, I boot into the newest 5.0.2.4 version of CWM. If I bootstrap via the Bionic Bootstrap app, I boot into 4.0.1.5

I tried to make a ackup using ROM Manager and it tries to use "sdcard", not the real "sdcard-ext" (the actual location of the SDHC Card. Does anyone have any suggestions. I can make a backup fine when I reboot into Bootstrap, but not when I do it through ROM Manager. Bootstrap uses sdcard-ext, while ROM Manager is using sdcard

That's interesting. I didn't have boot strap installed and i was fine.

Koush said on twitter that he just released his official Bootstrap for the Bionic in the Android Market, might not show up as yet .
I know he released officially, that's why you don't need the bootstrap apk. I believe Koush said you needed the apk but that was before he released the official for Rom manager. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You can't get into recovery without Bootstrap not even with Rom Manager Bootstrap is the recovery. Koush made that clear when he released support for the Bionic in Rom Manger "you must have Bootstrap installed". Remember the Bootloader is Locked.

That's real weird. I don't have the bootstrap apk. Only Rom manager and Koush's cwm recovery. I can boot into recovery and back up without any issues.

I just froze bootstrap in titanium and used rom manager to install cwm. It installed fine. Then I used rom manager to reboot into recovery and that worked also. I didn't make a backup but it did get me into recovery.

You have to open Bootstrap at least once before you can use Rom Manager to boot into recovery. The new boostrapp has fixes for Clockwork 5.0.2.1.
I bought the Bionic on the 8th but haven't rooted it. Just so people reading this thread (and myself) know. Koush's bootstrap is 2.99 on android market. But if you have a premium version of rom manager do you still have to download the bootstrap from the market?

you may find that backup won't restore ...happened to me...just a heads up...I'm afraid to use Koush’s recovery now for fear it won't work.

Yup. I attempted a backup and restore as well. When restoring, the message was that the various images didn't exist (data image, system image, etc...).
I used Rom Manager to flash recovery and reboot, no success.
I used BionicBootstrap.apk to "Bootstrap Recovery"
and then Rom Manager to Flash latest Recovery
and then Bionic Bootstrap to Reboot to Recovery
and that worked great to achieve the latest version recovery!
Today, Koush added support for the Droid 3 to ClockworkMod.
This includes releasing a Droid 3 Bootstrap which I believe he'll have some download links for or be placing on the market.
BEWARE: If you plan on using the new bootstrap from Koush, PLEASE use the "Remove Recovery" button and uninstall my Bootstrap APK before installing his.
Don't use 2 Bootstrap APKs together. Universe Explode. Or, maybe it could be unpredictable if you decide to remove mine later.
Thank you for listening to this public service announcement.
i see it in the market
Whats the difference with this one and yours Hashcode? Are you still updating yours?
-smc
Its the newest version. It works with rom manager. Probably flashes all partitions, but not sure.

So you don't need to install bootstrap before installing this?
So quick question, if we were to flash something and it ended up boot looping, like flashing a theme, how do we get back into cwm if we can't get back into android to access the app? Need to be able to restore in case something like this happens.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
No. You have to uninstall the previously released bootstrap/recovery. After which you install this new one.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Yep uninstall Hashcodes version from his app, then install the "Droid 3 bootstrap" on the market or from here http://t.co/IM110WZ3 then use clockwork mod to install the recovery for Droid 3 in the flashable list.

Yeah i'm also curious how your supposed to get back into recovery in case of a boot loop?
Are either you or Koush going to be continuing work on your alternate-system-partition scheme for making 2nd-init not an accident waiting to happen?

This. It is nice having official support, but the idea of keeping a 99% pure system and almost no risk of fubaring 2nd-init is extremely attractive.
Hmm not sure how to access the recovery from device power down using this, going to bptools just initiates a normal start up.
-smc
I too hope we see the 2nd init partition I Don't plan on installing the official at this point.
I used Hashcode's app to uninstall his recovery.. rebooted... downloaded Koush's Rom Manager from the market.. installed... started the app and flashed clockworkmod recovery... gave su permissions.... clicked Reboot into Recovery and it just reboots normally... no CWM... am i missing a step? is there a keyboard combo that will boot into CWM... vol-down+power only takes you to fastboot..
Thanks to all for continuing to develop this phone!

yeah, you need to bootstrapper app, and i believe you need to click bootstrap recovery everytime you need to reboot into cwm.
you can get the app here http://t.co/IM110WZ3 (thank somemadcaaant)

Thanks! worked perfectly! I couldn't see the forest for the trees
I seem to be having some issues getting this to work.
I uninstalled the Hashcode recovery, then removed his app. After that I downloaded the Droid3 recovery from the market and installed that. Going into Rom Manager, after a reboot, I was it did not list any Clockwork as being installed. I clicked on the list and Droid 3 was now one of the options so I applied that and went to test by having Rom manager reboot into recovery.
It sat there for a good 5 minutes on the red Motorola logo. Pulled the battery to reboot and it booted fine but I cannot figure out how to access the recovery.

Using the bootstrap app make sure you click bootstrap recovery then reboot recovery using the app. See if that helps.

That did it. Now it shows up in ROM manager and I can boot into the recovery from both apps.
Thanks
Could someone please tell me what the trick is to getting into Clockwork on my Bionic? I rooted it, installed CWM (Premium) from the market, and then from within CWM I flashed the custom recovery by picking the Bionic model from the menu.
Now when I try to reboot into recovery to do a Nandroid, etc. The phone just reboots instead. Do I need to install the bootstrapper or something else over the top or in place of CWM?
Thanks, please advise.

I've seen this before. Try flashing cwm again and boot into recovery. If that doesn't work get the bionic bootstrapper and flash that. If that gets you into recovery. Good. But I would flash cwm via rom manager again.

The problem is you're not using the bootstrapper. It's required.

That clarification did the trick. It wasn't immediately clear to me the bootstrapper was required. Thank you guys.
Im having a bit of trouble flashing WXC recovery. WXC was my original recovery but in order for me to use ROM Manager i needed to flash CM Recovery so i did. After i flashed it i learned that i actually cannot even get to recovery due to that fact that it just stays on the HTC logo. How can i fix this?

I have installed "Droid 3 bootstrap" and then Rom manager and through it the cwm
when trying to enter recovery the device is just restarting and thats it
please advice
cwm will be installed with bootstrap, don't need rom manager, and don't recommend using either.
