Easy way to unbrick (XT862) - 5 minutes - Motorola Droid 3

Okay guys, I've learned from my mistakes of screwing with system files, but I'm here to help you unbrick your Droid 3 (XT862) The following is a list to unbrick, the process should take about 5 minutes (not including the download or boot time)
1. Go to this website ( File location )
2. Download the ~450mb file.
3. If you have a spare battery, or the current battery, make sure it's charged above 50% (quick unbrick wont run if it's below 50%)
4. When the download is complete, extract the RAR file, and when the phone is off, press m+power and scroll down to AP Fastboot.
5. Plug the phone into the computer, make sure you get the USB connected message on the phone.
6. Run the "Click Here - Flash Verizon" file, make sure you get "OKAY" for each message that pops up on the CMD prompt.
7. Let your phone restore and boot.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me or reply to this post.

Nice! It would be better to link to the actual file - there's many files on that page

Ouch. Well at least this method should permanantly work, and you only need to download it once.. Just be like me, keep a spare battery almost fully charged for those "emergency" situations..

I tried the port of Quake 2 with my ps3 controller, didnt work. But I used to be a ipod touch fan. I got an android phone, and *accidentally* broke my ipod touch.

[app] Does PoliceAlert work?

Thanks, let me know result if you remember.
I've tried police alert, it only tells you where police/stop lights etc. Have been seen. Not a really good program
not even, mine says this cop has been in same spot for over 3 weeks now :O but idk how this would work
I have something similar on the GPS in my car. With that service you get a visual and audio warning when you approach an intersection or reported cop hangout. With all that its borderline a waste of money, I doubt the G1 will be half as good, but even still, you never know until you try, especially if its free.
i used it when i went driving and it worked fine i founld about 3 cops

The point isn't to point out where a cop *is* per se. It is to show you where they like to hang out. Not really good for a drive around town (where you know their hideouts) but GREAT for road trips

You know how you can tell you are lying...
"found about 3 cops" - are you incapable of counting that high? Did it find 2, or 4, or was it 3?

Flash Player

Are there any downloads for flashplayer for the G1?
There is no flash yet. Flash 10.1 is rumored to be releasing early next year.
Not at this time.
They have been making flash for the g1 for over a year. I've honestly lost hope. If I need flash that bad, I would give up bluetooth and get a hero rom.
The thing that's killing me is there is so much red tape for something that is free on PC, MAC and PSP. Get over it and allow a download directly from the website. Argh!

root already is available, amazing.
I will buy this phone if the bootloader is unlocked and when there is a good ROM to flash, hopefully this won't be longer than about a month because I really want this phone.

I'm waiting too, but I suspect that by the time this bootloader gets unlocked (if it ever happens), the Nexus Prime will be out, and will be awesome.

Just got mine this afternoon. Rooted & debloated, it's awesome. I never use stock tons, but in this case, it's not bad....
i got mine a few hours ago. i can't put it down. love browsing the web using firefox 4 in webtop. just need to grab a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. currently using the webtop adapter right now. the on screen keyboard is a tad slow, but won't be an issue with a real blue tooth keyboard. cant wait for devs to get ahold of this monster!
Car Dock Mode
I've been around smartphones a long time and have owned most of all types on the market. The Thunderbolt is a sweet phone with some of the new custom ROMs installed. Being the technology junky that I am I had to try out the Bionic. Nice. Smooth Smooth Smooth. I had to work at making the Thunderbolt what it should have been from HTC and Verizon, but the Bionic comes that way out of the box.
I travel a great deal, the Bionic is spot on in the car dock. I use Car Dock Ultra with Audible books, Google Nav, Google Places, etc etc. This phone does it all, no hesitation, no faults - it just works.
I rooted so I could use tether occasionally on the road but for now that is a no go. Still got my Bolt so I can still get it done.
Nice phone.

My phone is already bricked, testing this file.
Now lets see all those people that were talking trash about the Atrix come back with their legs between their tails. Saying Inspire this and Inspire that... Sure...! Sure...!
Downloading this using my Atrix as a wifi hotspot at work = TORTURE. 15hrs left, according to Chrome. Hahaha.
I'm going to be refreshing the begeezus out of this thread today.
If anyone has this that can remirror. Its painfully slow.

While I agree, I'm stuck at work, so I just VNC'd into my home comp and set up the file to download. Home comp says it will take 2 hours to download, so by the time I get home I can check it out and play around with it. **** just got real. Let the true hacking begin.

[GUIDE] How to Get Free Wifi Tether on Droid Bionic!

So, here's a way you can get FREE wifi tethering/mobile hotspot on your Droid Bionic so you don't have to pay Verizon twice for the same internet you are already paying for. I don't know why Verizon would block this feature especially when you consider that there's a 2GB cap on your mobile internet usage anyways.
<MOD EDIT>
We don't have a 2GB cap. I've been over 2GB's a month for almost a year without any issues.
we don't?

<MOD EDIT>
I am grandfathered in, Verizon throttles you once you reach 5gigs while on 3G, but they haven't been able to throttle 4G still, enjoy it while it lasts, I am at >3 gigs so far this month, and that is with no tethering!
im trying to do this but i have windows 7. for some reason the usb is not recognized by my comp... also do u have the latest readiocomm for me it says that mine is 2 month old
