I think most people use Safestrap because Hash is amazing.

I use tweaked bootstrap for pretty much the same reasons. I don't want to lose my current backups.

Safestrap is your best bet. Flash without fear!
xt860, android 2.3.5, Monster rom

I kinda agree with slayer. Im still not afraid to flash cuz its called a nandroid! Haha ;p

You don't have to sbf... just uninstall your current bootstrap, and install safestrap.. activate safestrap and install your choice of roms... if you disable safestrap, it just puts you back to where you were before you enabled it.. most people recommend using a base stock rom for your starting point but you don't have too..

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.

Hmmm. Strange. I'm not sure what the problem is
This thread will get you to .902 tho.
It will wipe INTERNAL SDcard so copy the stuff you want to keep to a PC or just put it on your External SDcard

Ok i finally found them all!!!!
Cheers people!!!!!

My .902 update keeps failing and I was wondering if you could help me. It fails and gives me the following message:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/blur_picasa.apk". [there are a bunch of unimportant numbers and letters here])
E: Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any help is much appreciated.

Can't ROOT or Boot into Recovery

So I been trying to root my phone for about an hour now. I rooted, un-rooted then rooted again, and it seems to have work (obviously you can't tell when your phone is rooted, but oh well). I'm kind of a noob in the Droid 3 section, but then I went to the Market place and downloaded the "ROM Manager", downloaded the CM9 recovery, and had the app boot into recovery but to my surprise, it doesn't work for some reason. I don't under what else I can do, am I rooted? Do I need to manually install CM9 recovery? I just want ICS on my phone, and this is driving me crazy.

Do you have Super User app on your phone ?

Yup. I do, I have no idea where it came from though.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

Does it open? Look up the thread for boot two roms at once in the genreal section. Follow that and you will have ICS. You should wait tho, as a new build will be up tonight for ics.
Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk

Yup, it opens and shows the applications that I allow, does this mean that I'm rooted for sure? I'll definitely wait for the new ICS rom tonight, just want to make sure if I can boot into recovery. I tried using the "X" and power button but it just gives me the triangle with the "!" logo inside.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

I believe in the droid 3...you hold the Power + M for recovery. Not the X.

Root checker is an app that will tell you if you are rooted. You need to either install the droid 3 bootstrap or safestrap to get cwm recovery.

Its kind of either or.
You can hold Power + M, and use the volume keys to select recovery, or you can hold Power + X and it will go to recovery as well.

It gave ya the right screen. But that takes you to the stock recovery. To install roms you will need Clockworkmod Recovery or Safestrap Recovery.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA premium

Go with safestrap. Especially if you're new to this.

Well for me from manager doesn't work.. the recovery it installs does not start from app... never tried other way . Uninstaled RM and installed only hashcode's safestrap so you don't need to start in recovery.: it will give you the option to open the cwm menu from boot by pressing menu button when prompted and if nothing done then start normally..
:in hashcode's blog are: instructions for flashing cm9 with safestrap
Good look
