I installed 6.7.2233 and would like to update... - Motorola Droid Bionic

Hi, I installed 6.7.2233 ics on my Droid Bionic and I see there are some newer versions out (this build cant stream audio over Bluetooth apparently...). Right now what is the best ROM (or newest leaked release .232?) and how do I update my phone to it?
Thanks!!

is there any way to do this without using a pc? I am running windows 8 and there is no support for bionic drivers.

not to my knowledge, unfortunately. have you seen this? http://www.eightforums.com/hardware-drivers/3102-motorola-usb-drivers-wont-install-win-8-a.html

Dont even risk it. Either find a computer running 7 or dont touch it at all.

Anyone know a work around/fix for the Bluetooth issue? I connected it to the speakers (via bt) and it seems like its a go but when i play any audio there is nothing coming out of the speakers. (the phone is also silent which it should be)

AFAIK, Never, because it will not fit on an unrooted G1. it needs to have the DangerSPL because it frees up 10MB for the system partition to use.

Goolge said that G1's weren't going above 1.6, only newer android devices are getting 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, so either root or enjoy your plain donut
Moved to the Q&A thread.
just root if you wanna get 2.1 or 2.2, as was stated beforehand, you'll never get an ota update again for your phone. soz bud..

OTA updates are weak.
Root the phone either yourself or pay someone that has experience doing so in the past.
It is just essential in taking advantage of your HTC Dream/G1 fully.
Rom Devs contributing their amazing work here on xda work wonders and should be recognized as such.
Once I got mine rooted I was more than ecstatic with the results and continue to be til this day.

Flash for Droid with Froyo

I flashed the Froyo update and it seems to work well but I cannot find the Adobe Flash 10.1 beta in the market.
Anyone know how I can load this application?
You can find a "Download Latest Flash Player" link on this page: http://onix-android.com/2010/06/onix-2-0-beta0/
What I've found with flash is it doesn't work with some apps. There's a fix for it whick actually uses nexus 1 flash app and it work beautiful on my phone. I couldn't use hulu before I installed it or some other things I had to uninstall the previous version I had and then install the nexus one which is a fixed version of flash 10.1 and work well. For hulu after fixing flash there is another version of app that is not on the market that has a couple scripts built in to make it work. Hope this helps

Which file is this one? I did some searching on the Nexus thread for flash and found a few different download links, so not sure which one specifically you were referring to as the "fix" version.
I still have the file its called "flash-fix-nexus.apk". If I can find it again ill post a link or even better I would upload it if possible. I don't have a computer so ill look into it.

Thanks! With that file name I was able to locate the post with the download link here: [Fix] Hulu working + Flash.apk June 17th
No problem, glad it worked. Its been running great since I used it and can watch some episodes with hulu now but the device heats up extremely quick and battery don't last long so becareful if you use. Mine got to 134 degrees and it wouldn't charge till it cooled down but it takes a lot of processing for flash to work.

Well had flash and hulu working with bb v0.4 but I had just switched to sapphire v0.8.4 and flash doesn't work again. Stumped! Or is it because sapphire is from different or newer build. Anyone have a suggestion without flashing back to bugless beast. Been using nexus flash fix and hulu fix but doesn't work with sapphire rom.

I tried the fix download and it didn't install

So I heard there was an OTA update recently?

Has it been rooted? If I unroot will it install, then can be rerooted?

The new 5.7.893 OTA was just found today on stage 1 via cheesecake. Its only a 4 Meg update from those running 5.6.893. If you are using the p3droid forever root, it doesnt break it.
I'm running it and haven't noticed any issues except webtop seems broken.

From what I understand, only those who have installed one of the "leaked" version found via Cheesecake are seeing this OTA.
If you have a stock/release level Bionic, you wont see this...
on my x10i
i dont think ota works
on the motorola forums they stated that the ota is in testing and will be out in 30 to 60 days.

Rooted and did OTA update

Hey guys I got a question , I have a friend that rooted his droid 3, but when the update came out for it he went along and did it. Now the phone says its rooted but the computer won't read it. How do you fix this ?

He meant system version, not android version.
Anyway, assuming you're on 5.6.890, you can just reroot using 1clickroot
5.6.890.xt862 , so even though it says its rooted , just root it again ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
It could be a root issue but I would first ceck device manager on windows, try latest drivers, if that does now work go into recovery and turn on usb connection (I think its under advanced).

The main problem he's having is that the computer won't detect his phone.... I installed the drivers from Motorola and it didn't work....

Did you/he try the recovery thing? If all else fails then he could have to re flash the sys.

The 5.6.890 system update for some reason broke any no-name brand micro-USB cables from working with the Droid 3. Use the supplied one or buy one from Verizon or Motorola.

Same problem as the OP, tried all of the above. If I input the ADB DEVICES command, it output :

Can't get it to show as online or whatever the other state may be.
you could boot into the recovery options and flash the sbf using RSD.
I also have cheap blackberry MicroUSB cables bought on ebay that work just fine.
It seems simple but have you tried toggling usb debugging. I had the same issue until someone suggested that to me and worked like a charm. Toggle while unplugged then plug it.in

Also, for stock based VXLR is the latest updated rom and has very good battery life. For what it's worth mine is on Liquid ICS because I don't use it very often anymore.

The first thing to do is make sure your recovery is up to date. You can do that with the Rom manager app. It probably is the latest version but, it is better to check first. Then you have to decide if you want to go back to stock and take all the updates. The last update was a month or two ago and had a few security things. It's still GB. If you do then you'll be on a version ending in .621. After that you'll have to find compatible roms. The Liquid linked above is the most up to date version compatible with .621.
Good luck.

Thanks! I too just came across my DX which I had since launch, since it was with my car dock, Im gonna try to see what I can use it for as a companion to my pc...like maybe a desk mounted fan controller or temp monitor would be cool since I love to overclock (computers). Although its likely wishful thinking aside from some bluetooth tools from msi afterburner and such, its amazing the phone got up to ICS.
Might try it out later this week, last rom I had was one of the liberty 2.2.1 builds which were one of my fav at the time. Having gone from the DX, to rezound, and now note2. The DX was probably one of the best rom developed phones out there in its time aside from the nexus.

I was originally going to sell my DX but within a few days i decided to keep mine. New(different) toy for me to play with for a min. I've had the D4 since 2 weeks after it launch date so im super spoiled with Safestrap. Before i got my D4 I was up to date with roms and builds but sadly its still 2.3.

Framaroot, yes, is an apk. install the apk, and choose the gimli option. it will tell you that root was sucessful, and to reboot your phone. after you reboot, install bootstrap from either dx, d2, or d3 (d3 is most up to date, no known updated recovery available?)
You are correct about the 605/621 sbf info. once you flash 621, you can't go back. there are ROMs for both versions. I don't have experience with 605, but yes, you can upgrade to ICS from 621. From what I've read, no one has successfully gotten a JB ROM (CM10, 10.1, or 10.2) to work. There are at least 2 ppl who are going to attempt a KK build. wether or not it boots and is functional, only time will tell.
