Help with Root - Motorola Droid Bionic

Hi all, I currently have the Bionic and want to Root it for the purpose of being able to wifi tether and be able to remove some bloat ware. I have read several methods here but can't seem to reassure myself which is the best way. I have the Xoom and have been learning the ins and outs of flashing custom roms and until I'm more confident doing so I probably won't flash a new rom on phone.
It is currently running stock with the 902 update
Thank you for any help

Do #11 Under "ROOT". Its a simple one click root.
Just make sure you have drivers up to date. Plug phone in and make sure its on charge only. You'll be fine.

Thank you it worked perfect. I am researching the different custom roms now and will install one later along with safe strap. Is there a rom that you would recommend?

It's all good man. Basically...with the encrypted bootloader, only "official" roms would allow the phone to boot. So if a custom rom was flashed, it would stay in recovery mode. With this, if everything goes right, the custom recovery will allow the flashing of roms and booting back into android. Hope that makes sense.
No risk. We're all here to help and learn.
The reason this is exciting is that it is the first step towards custom ROMs.
To explain further: Recovery is used on a stock phone to help you recover when you have screwed something up by taking you back to the same state the phone was in when you first unboxed it by loading the stock ROM. Loading a custom recovery, if 100% successful would then allow you to load custom ROMs. However, the X also has encryption that requires a signature on the ROM that is loaded before it will actually boot the phone with the custom ROM.
I think there is some stuff that I missed here but this is the general idea.
The one thing I'm not 100% certain of is if they're going need to work on the encryption still or if a custom recovery gets around that. In this case for some reason I'm getting the sense that the encryption isn't stopping birdman.
all i can say is gimmmmeeeeeeeeee
Great job, keep up the good work. Patiently waiting.

This is huge. We should see custom ROMs shortly after we see a released CR.
Unfortunately, we'll only see custom roms with stock kernels, which isn't quite ideal. I'm still enthusiastic about this though.
True, but we will get a 2.2 kernel when Froyo is released for the X and that will make things just that much better.
I say we look at the fact that we're going to get custom ROMs on a device that is supposed to be totally locked down, even though we will not have custom kernels.
I realize we're not going to be able to truly load an overclocked our undervolted kernel. But the custom ROMs are going to rock.
Please pardon my noobiness here, but how does the kernel affect the roms we can load? Mainly can I load a CM 2.2 rom?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Roms are in the future but kernels no
kernels not only help.you over clock but it effects the UI also but yea we can expect to see CM because of KOUSH

Nspbass - the kernel is what talks to all of the hardware on your phone and we would have to have an unlocked bootloader to put custom kernels on the phone. To load a custom ROM without a custom kernel means someone has to port CM 2.2 over to the X by making it work on a 2.1 kernel and we won't have a true version of Froyo.
However, when we get the 2.2ota update our rockstar devs will very likely get under the covers and give us a full 2.2 version.
One the + side they do have a dev phone that has 2.2.1 on it so we may see it sooner than we think.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Check this out - we MAY be able to load alternate kernels in the future without unlocking the bootloader: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aMPUcY71Yc
HUGE PROPS to Birdman and Alldroid!
Latest from koush:
"koush: Nandroid worked on the Droid X. Trying to figure out why I don't have adb in "recovery" now though."
Seriously, nandroid backups are priceless. Great to see that koush is working this!
Its been like 6 days since they loaded clockworkmod recovery and nothing has come out yet...there may be major issues, at this rate official group will be out sooner.
Just wish motorola would have left it stock android like they did the d1

[ ROM ][ 7-27 ] HMJ37.UEKM7 with TouchWiz for the GT-P7510

This ROM is based on the OTA that t3rabyte received, it's completely stock with root and busybox. This is meant as a flashable version of the dump he posted, so I don't plan on posting mods or fixes for it as I am also posting a custom ROM later based on this that I will do that for.
Also the kernel has been slightly modded to disable secure mode & enable init.d support.
I HIGHLY recommend you factory reset/wipe data before you flash this, even if your coming from the other TouchWiz ROM
The 2 version are:
Calkulin's_GT-P7510_HMJ37.UEKM7_ROM - Stock form
Calkulin's_GT-P7510_HMJ37.UEKM7_De-odex'd_ROM - De-odex'd for theming, mods, etc
Special thanks to t3rabyte
Nice, i add some mods to it
Very cool, thanks for the effort. Can't wait to see what you come up with! I need to root my GT, was waiting for the weekend but maybe tonight...
So installing the first one is basically like getting the update straight from the horses mouth? Sans the root and busybox of course.

The Rom is in .zip so you need CWM in order to install.
Look here or Here For instructions on how to install CWM.
Then download the .zip install it through CWM. The rom is already rooted.
For a locked tab, your only option probably is to flash the clockworkmod recovery through ODIN, instructions are in this that thread

Are you going to be fully supporting this device? Do you have a tab Calkulin?

Stoked to see you working on the tab! If you are putting half as much attention on the tab as you did the Evo, things just got real up in here!
This rom is good for 10.1 Tab WiFi (P7510XXKFC)?
Thanks
First impression: very similiar as previous TW roms, maybe slight speed bump.
WOW: the keyboard input lag in stock browser is more or less gone!

Yes sir, your quite right. It IS coming soon. I already have a packaged and deodexed version ready to go, once CWM supports ROM flashing. Of course, with no unlocked bootloader, there isnt much I can do about overclocking, but the rest of the tweaks should be very welcome!

{Kernel}My Stash, OC'able to 1.3, Theme'd Blue CWM Recovery v5.0.2.3 {/Kernel}

I had assembled this for my own use, but I figured it was time to give back to the community. Its built from bits and pieces of many different rom's and kernels. So if you recognize a piece of your work, and I forget to give worthy mention, I apologize.
I am not responsible for anything you do to your own phone.
I've been using this with MIUI LE build, version's 3.1, 4, and most recently 5. I've used it with the most recent Cyan Stable build with zero issues.
Recovery works 100% with this build of CWM. For those wondering, CWM v5.0.2.6 breaks wifi!!! Don't bother using it.

Gummy question
First of all pardon my ignorance. I have flashed several ROMS with sucess (and instructions!), however I have not seen anything on Gummy as far as instructions. Is Gummy a stand alone ROM or does it get installed on top of an exsisting ROM? If the later is true which ROM is the best to install over? I have a Bionic with a stock 904 and am rooted. Thank you!
Denny
I'm not sure what's going on with TeamGummy, but I'm having a LOT better luck with HiveDev's unofficial CM9 port. I installed the 5/31 nightly and I'm having amazing luck with it. The camera is even extremely usable!

You need to flash GAPPS after you flash the ROM. Here is a link to what I think is the latest GAPPS
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120422-signed.zip
It worked! Thanks!
Well after a couple of days trying this ROM I have to say I'm not happy with the performance. I keep having to reboot, I keep losing my radio and phone service. I have made calls where I can hear nothing but the other person can hear me. Maybe I'll try again when they get the bugs worked out.
