Yea, there's 2 versions of SafeStrap out. I'd suggest Hashcode's until Rick patches his up. I'm rather surprised to see you're running ICS, but just now heard about SafeStrap? I didn't think that most ICS ROMs even flashed nicely with bootstrap.

Kinda, yes.
Custom ROMs, Pretty much....I'm trying to figure the nitty gritty out but basically, If I understand correctly, this will give us the ability to load custom ROMs once all is cleaned up.
Root has already been achieved a bit ago. So you can root your phone now!!
Birdman and Koush are amazing. so while I appreciate the shout for the news, all props go to them!!!!

whenever you flash a new ROM or Kernel, just in case your phone doesn't like the Kernel you flash. for example my phone doesn't like anything but a Low Voltage Kernel, whereas my friends Droid doesn't like anything but Ultra Low Voltage Kernel. Each phone is different.
Currently my phone is running CyanogenMOD 6.1RC4 with the NEXtheme with the Stock CM 6.1 Kernel. So far I absolutely love it. I am so happy that I decided to Root my phone. Now Im slowly teaching my self how to build ROMS and themes and such.

So with the kernel released, anyone want to educate us how to flash a kernel? Id like to dig into this kernel, and if I can do anything with it, id like to know how to flash it to test...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA Premium App
it should be the same as on any other phone. boot into ClockWork Recovery and select "install .zip from sd card"(or you could specify in ROM Manager that you want to do that also.
No, its not the same as any other phone...you can't install a custom kernel on the Bionic because it can only run a signed boot image...ala the locked bootloader.
The release of the kernel source, while welcome, is not anything that end users can do anything with at all and is of limited use to developers as well, due to the fact that Moto doesn't release everything and custom kernels are not possible.

Well, you're wrong.
It the phone was unlocked, that is where you'd flash the kernel - through recovery.
well, the procedure of installing a kernal is the same as a ROM(meaning you don't have to go through BootLoader)... so as far as installing, the above is how you'd do it... but wether or not(not) your phone accepts it is a different story considering the current status of the Bionic.
Hmm, wonder if any one is willing to try... If u have then knowledge to put that in a flashsble zip, il try... what's the worst that could happen.... Have soft brick and rds back to life....???

Jeez. The kernel source was barely released a day or two ago. Give the dev community a few days to sort out what they can do with it before getting all crazy about it. We already have ClockworkMod Recovery for the Bionic. Chances are, since they have the full source code, we'll have refined flashable kernels that are bootloader-compliant in the coming weeks.

I am hoping this is the case as well.
Not sure if the entire source was released or just what was contractually obligated to under the GPL.(which is likely the case since everything would give the dev's the key to the kingdom so to speak.)

Well...since we are being sticklers for the facts here...the easiest and most efficient way to load a custom kernel, if we could do so, would be fastboot.
They are typically released for most devices with unlocked bootloaders in update.zip format, but it's really device dependent and several forms are often available.

After the ICS update leak, does the bionic support GSM networks?
I highly doubt it. Typically, if a device has the capacity for using a type of cell network, it comes with that capability enabled.
Take a look at this thread, there's a hack to get it to work, but part of it must be done before installing the ics leak.

Thanks for the link to the superthread, it's a little long and I'm not sure how current the information is. Which pieces need to be done before going to ICS? Is everything compatible with gingerbread .905?
Also, I thought applying the ICS update would overwrite the radio code...

I haven't read it too thoroughly as I'm not doing it, but it was just within the last few days where someone posted something about the ICS update issue. My suggestion is to start at the end and work your way back.

Hello RAZR HD owners.
I have a request, I unfortunately took the update that has locked my bootloader. I have searched the forum for active links for compatible roms.. I am having no luck. My request, if you have them, post a link to download rom/and what you liked or didn't like about them.
That would be awesome!
Right now I'm running Nexesque on my XT926 with 9.18.79 and locked bootloader. It's a stock-based 4.1.2 of course but it's debloated, its rock solid, the battery life is good and I've flashed the add-on that removes the Navigation Bar (I use PIE Control). http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/9151-rom-droid-nexesque-for-razr-hd-5182013/
---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------
I've also run a version of wWidow HD that's based on 4.1.1. I didn't run it for long but I didn't see any real problems. I installed each of these ROMs (wWidow and Nexesque) in RAM slots on Safestrap and toggled back and forth for a couple of days. I preferred Nexesque. wWidow HD for Safestrap is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161937
