[Q] Rom Manager/CWM Recovery?

Is Rom Manager/CWM working on the Bionic? Does it need anything special like the Droid X?

It needs someone to develop cwm for the phone. Im sure rom manager will install, you just cant do anything with it

what about the bootstrap recovery from the X2?

Other than clearing data/cache/dalvik, there's not much you can use CWM or Rom Manager for right now...since I haven't seen any ROM's released for the Bionic yet.

Not so. If it was working, I could make a nandroid and then remove bloat etc and always return to stock.

How do you remove bloat on a rooted bionic?

well the safest way right now is to freeze them with tibackup...
that is what I have done to most of the vzw apps on my bionic.

I am currently working on it for the Bionic. I did a decent amount of work with hijack and the bootstrap for the droid 2 awhile back.

We're waiting for Koush to get his Droid 3. Once he gets it and ports CWM, he'll have a working version for the Bionic as well.

You can only change the kernel and baseband on these phones with a OTA update from Motorola. Our bootloader is locked.
You can return the phone to stock software with one of the FXR apps that are available. But the baseband and kernel will remain unchanged. I used this one successfully last weekend: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5484-r3l3as3droot-and-43v3r-root-for-the-bionic-v21/

Will the method mentioned on the RootWiki site also remove the bootstrap/CWM if installed?

Yes it will

So basically I can load bootstrap and cwm from koush and something like liberty and then go back to the way it was when unboxed with no sign of any changes? The reason I ask is I am still in my 14 day return window.

After installing CWM make a virgin backup before making ANY changes.

How compatible are the DROID 3 and the Bionic? I just flashed the Ics 4.0.3 Rom built for the DROID 3 and it booted up perfectly. (No Boot loops) The camera that comes with it does not work (I would just get the .893 blur cam) but data does. I went back to Eclipse 2.1 and was still on 5.9.901 which is cool. But I want to know will this help out at all with a complete Ics Rom for the DROID BIONIC? I will attempt to flash other D3 ROMS just to see if everything goes all right.

Rename this thread. The title is deceptive at best.

When you say "data" works, are you saying that the 1x data is working or the 3g/4g data is working?

I suggest giving kejar or one of the other big developers a message and ask them what they think of this. It sounds as if this could be the fastest way for us to get ics but what do I know.

Doesn't work. Tried flasging it through bootstrapper. (Can't open, "bad" installation aborted )

Hashcode's CM9 rom is for his Safestrap, it wont work in bootstrap

Its pretty stable. Minor glitches. Once screen turned upside down. Not sure about 4g. Honestly have paid my bill(hard out here). You Do Not need Safestrap. Booted in CWM. Wiped data etc. If someone can test out 4g that would be awesome.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I see no reason why 4G could work if you flashed a D3 ROM because the D3 kernel source and framework would have zero provisions whatsoever for the 4G radio portion of the Bionic.
The rest of the hardware is surprisingly similar, however. Which is why D3 ROMs boot on the Bionic in the first place.

works same only 1x and stable could not get 3g or 4g

Why is that though? I never been able to flash another rom for something like the Razr or DROIDX? What really makes the Droid 3 and the Bionic similar?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

Oh yeah FYI the only reason I didn't stay on this is because Internal SD Card does not mount. But I didnt connected my phone to my laptop while I was on it. Not sure what that would do but I would hope that something would happen

I have I just wanted to know the similarities between the BIONIC and the DROID 3 and if the D3 was closer to a complete ICS Rom. Which if it was would probably help out us BIONIC users

Until they figure out Data/Camera on either builds, they are pretty much the same.

It appears that Hashcode now has a BIONIC in hand is going to be helping debug the data issues that have plagued DHacker! Definately getting exciting for the BIONIC!
Check out the Dev forums for Hashcode updates!
Much appreciated and send Dhacker and Hashcode some lovin for this latest turn of events!

Every one says 3g/4g is not working correctly, only 1x or 3g if your not in a 4g area.
Edit: I see there seems to be a work around, by turning on the LTE ram dump.

Is it a port of this?

You need to go to 902 from 893 not 901. I think you can flash stock 893 in rsd, use voodoo from the market to save root, then take the OTA update and restore root with voodoo, but I'm not 100% sure voodoo works on the bionic (it does on my transformer prime)

Xda has lost its luster. When I started rooting phones, everyone was linking to xda because this was the main source. Now I'm seeing that rootzwiki is the main source. Not sure why that is, maybe someone else can give an explanation

I think its because theres a lot of new users who don't read before they ask questions or start threads. I have seen rom threads where a question that was answered 10 times in the last 5 pages continues to be asked. The search function is horrible on here but if you can't read the last few pages of a thread, or 2-3 pages of thread titles before asking a question or starting a thread then you are just cluttering up the forum. I have seen a few devs leave simply because of all the people that wouldn't read a few pages, or even the OP before asking stupid questions which have already been answered. Also the moderation in some sub forums is horrible, that's another big reason I've seen a lot of devs leave.

Thank you for the explanation. Makes sense.

Question, I am currently on Eclispsed V2.0, with a 5.7.893 update patch level, if I want to update to the latest 902 do I need to flash back to stock, then 901, 902?

You should be able to flash .902 in stock recovery with no problems since your on .893. But I should tell you I'm not sure that version of Eclipse is compatible with the .902 update. You might have to get back to stock because of that rom. Another idea. If your at a computer or you dont care whats on your Internal SDcard THIS THREAD will get you to .902 with no problems. It does wipe INTERNAL SDcard so if want that stuff save it somewhere on your PC or put it on your External Sdcard.

Thank you for your reply, I am copying everything from internal SD, then I will give that a try. Ideally I wanted to get to 902 so I can either use Escliped 2.1 or ICS AKOP or similar rom for my Bionic since that's looking really promising.
