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.

Wow Matt! I haven't seen you around in quite a long time, good to see you!!! Can't wait for you to develop CWM for the Bionic!!!
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.

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?

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!
Can't wait for working DATA!

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.

Make sure boostrap is uninstalled before trying safestrap that may be causing the issue? Like a failsafe built into the app so you wont accidentally try flashing to different recoveries?

I do not have boot strap installed. When i go to the boot loader and choose recovery it takes me to stock recovery. So i dont have bootstrap installed

That's not how Bootstrap or Safestrap works. The bootloader will always invoke stock recovery no matter if safestrap or bootstrap are installed. The locked bootloader of the Bionic prevents Stock Recovery from being replaced.
Do other root apps work on your phone? Maybe try grabbing SetDNS, or the free version of Screenshot ER?

Since we have SBF files now, and I apologize if this is the wrong area to post, but will we be able to get an official Clockworkmod Recovery so that we can install clean ROMs without needing to use Safestrap and running dual systems?
I am willing to test any developments on my D4 given that we can now flash the SBF should it brick.
Also on a somewhat side tangent, has anyone figured out a way to mod the system to allow apps2sd naturally like on the D2/D3 instead of the "media area vs app storage area"?
Thanks in advance everyone.
I am waiting for a response for this thread as well.the safestrap method has created issues I really don't want to deal with on a regular basis. I thought maybe once the sbf were out there we would have clockwork method out there fairly quick. I appreciate all the hard work hash & others put in to problem solving etc..J am so looking forward to a clockwork option..

What issues? You could always use bootstrap, as others have said.
Personally, I really like using safestrap. Stock ROM when I need the phone to work, whatever rom I like otherwise (Though AOKP is getting pretty close to perfect now. Going to check up on CM9 soonish...)
