What's your current bootloader version?
The easiest way to put in a new bootloader is just to grab the .902 FXZ. It will make sure that you're on a new one.

I know but but it can be updated right? I have "awakened" the gsm in the phone and I am using an AT&T prepaid when I can't get a signal with Verizon. I read in the forum that to do this while on an ICS rom you need to update the bootloader to A.72 to get it to work. That is why I'm asking.

I'm sorry but I guess I never heard of updating the bootloader.
Are you talking about baseband or kernel? If not, I guess I can't help.
Latest bootloader would be with the .902 update.

Me neither. All you really can do with the bionic is install the latest update. Not really sure if it changes the boot loader. I was under the impression that it updated the radios and glitches in the os. Never heard of it changing the boot loader.

Weird, you should have to have anything to do with the official bootloader, you should be using ClockworkMod. Still I could be wrong.

It's most likely impossible, but for a Bell user to be able to flash an ATT SBF and actually have it work would be amazing. As I'm 99% sure if we ever see gingerbread come from Bell this month (or summer for that matter) it most likely will not have an unlocked bootloader. I'm willing to do whatever necessary in order to help.
I'm no expert, but so far what I know of the difference involves the fact that we were able to install ATT themes/psuedoRoms by booting into recovery and using "Wipe DATA/Factory Reset". (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070076). Why this is so I'm not sure.
Thanks for any consideration of the topic.
Ok. I'm no dev and I don't have bell. However, I was thinking... Could you use recovery to flash a flashable .zip file of the 1.83 update and then unlock that way? Not sure if that would work at all but it just crossed my mind.

OP - Requests do not belong in the development section. For future reference. It does suck that Bell is lagging so far behind AT&T though...
If your referring to that fact that they were able to get the Chinese version to load onto an ATT phone and then unlock the bootloader and not the Bell then yes unfortunate...But Bell isn't lagging behind ATT...Correct me if im wrong but i don't remember hearing any official announcements about when ATT was going to be getting the official gingerbread update.
On topic, i too wonder if there is a way to merge the two as it seems very fragmented right now.
From what i understand it's a matter of the Bell Atrix having a different "framework" than ATT.
Hopefully some Dev's care enough to maybe make a go at it? =)
my 2 cents
cheers
Guys the UK official gb release is coming out the same day as the ATT one. We can just flash the uk one, unlock, and then flash any atrix roms can we not?

I agree, Motorola said they would only unlock bootloaders where "carriers permit".
However, what would be the result of flashing an ATT sbf, as I don't know if anyonr has tried it but I have heard that RSDLite doesn't allow a Bell phone to flash an ATT sbf. If the hardware in the two phones is identical then at least in theory they should be able to flash either sbf. Or am I wrong?

Another thing is that we only have 8Gb of internal storage, thus leaving little room for ROM slots on the internal sdcard using SS3 recovery.
I just finished an internal/external memory swap script in the DEV section, so this should help free up some space for ROMs.

Hi everyone,
I have an XT860 from Bell Canada. I would like to mod it. Can someone tell me if it's a Droid 3 or Droid 2?
Also, what are the latest versions of Android available for these devices? The one installed now is 2.3.6 and I would very much like to jump to a Jelly Bean.
I appreciate some input before I waste too much trying to mod this.
Thanks
Droid 3. You're in the right section. Each ROM has an 860 patch but the problem is that the development on JellyBean has kind of stalled since the camera isn't working.

MrObvious, thanks a lot for the feedback.
1- What is an "860" patch?

3- Where can I find instructions and latest ROMs for my device? ***I don't want to mess up the radio frequencies as it's a Canadian phone***
Thanks again.
Basically it just patches a few files and the build.prop so that it works with the 860 as all our ROMs are built for the 862 which is the Verizon CDMA version. Just flash a ROM and look for a patch. Minimoto is a good one because it has stability and Endroid made a patch that works.

The phone is unlocked and rooted but I don't think I have the framework to install ROMs so I probably need to read the official modding thread.

1)these are just cosmetic, you can have it show the h+ through build.prop edits
2)try adding the line ro.ril.hep=0 to the build.prop, it should help, and try just toggling airplane mode to reset the connection, easier than rebooting
