Ok so I've looked around and haven't found anything on how to get the Bionic on BoostMobile. Is there anyone out there that can give me a step by step guide on how to do it properly.?

Not sure if I can post links or not, so go to rootzwiki, then go to forums, then click on Droid bionic, then click on Droid bionic developer forum, then click on Th3oryrom and you'll find it.

That would be a negative
Don't see why you can post external links to development sites where deving is placed there used to be links to rootzwiki on my charge all the time so i don't see why not

I think the reason this thread hasn't blown up is because everyone is still trying to keep root on .902
Nevertheless, I am still in that group. Post up some screenshots!

No camera, no calendar, but 4g data! Awesomeness. Can't wait till the above get worked out so I can say buhbye to gingerbread!
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
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 am running it now on my Bionic. I am at 5.9.901 software it does work.
no camera, no calendar. but it is very fast and I like it.

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.

It isn't hard to keep root. ROTA893 is your friend
Hi I'm new to the forum and I have some questions. hopefuly I'm in the right area.
Ok #1 so I own a bionic and I've had it about 10 months now. Should I wait for the new ics then root or should I just root now?
#2 What are the pros and cons of rooting the bionic? I still own the orginal droid and its rooted and it was a bada$$ phone. I just want to know if it will be the same with the bionic.
#3 If i root can anybody point me to a good root program? I've been searching and found motofail and petes root tool. Are these any good?
Thanks to anybody that can help
You can root using motofail if on the .902 or .905 update petes method works on prior versions. If u install a ics leak you can also root with razor edges method.

Motofail is easy as hell to root the Bionic with. There is a special edition of Motofail (only root program period) that worked for my Bionic running ICS. I say if you are willing to tinker. Install ICS .232 and than root.
Thanks man. How do I get my hands on the ICS leak?? Every time I find it the link says error nothing here.

Hi, I just bought a Droid Bionic running 2.3.4 and I have been searching up how to root it. I figured out that I need the MotorolaOneClickRoot tool to do it, but every time I try to download it the link is dead. Can anyone give me a good link to download it and if possible, send me the steps to rooting it as I am still not good at this kind of stuff. Thanks in advance.

Google "House of Bionic"
Follow directions on site and you will be good.

I searched it up and I read a bunch of stuff on it. I know I sound stupid, but I'm still confused on what it is and he doesn't give steps for newbies on how to get it. He uses lots of terms that I don't know of. Also, when I read it I understood that it is not exactly what I was looking for. It's not really "rooting" the phone. Can anyone give me any clear instructions on how to "root" my Droid Bionic? I want to be able to get ICS on it. Thanks.
The house of bionic is several steps rolled into one so I will break apart for you.
1. You need to be on. 905
2. The first steps in the program will update you to. 246
3. Then it will root your phone on. 246
4. Then YOU will need to install SS 3.05
Install all the files he tells you and follow the prompts and you have rooted phone on ICS

The house won't root a 905 phone which is what the op was asking for. Search for motofail-gb. That will take care of it.

If you want ics then search for ota under settings. Its available for bionic now.

Been digging around here and I'm not seeing any threads describing a root method for a new droid 4 running jb. Before I get this phone for her, I have to be able to get all the crap of it!
It's there a jb root method thread that I'm missing somewhere??
Also, I'm a gs3 guy, so I'm a little lost with some of the development discussions. I take it the bootloader is locked and requires a separate partion to run custom rom's... Is that what safestrap is all about?
I'm not a noob with this stuff, just looking for some droid 4 "common sense" info that I'm just not getting within these threads.
Thanks guys

RAZR blade exploit works on droid 4 jb. Exactly how safe strap works.
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app
So a root method for a completly different device is what is being used? Where is razr blade exploit, Is it in the droid 4 development thread? Or is it in the razor area? I cannot find any Droid 4 rooting threads.

Gotcha covered bro, here's the razr blade exploit http://vulnfactory.org/public/razr_blade.zip
It's called razr blade, obviously for the droid razr. The good thing is that the droid razr and the droid 4 are so similar, that the root methods have always gone hand in hand (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
