I traded my Galaxy Nexus for a Bionic

'Ello lads!.. So yes, I've traded my Galaxy Nexus for a Bionic(+ cash) with some fine chap. Sure the Nexus has a bit of a screen advantage but performance wise I honestly don't notice a dfference. The big thing is I'm glad the reception issues I was having with the Nexus are gone.
Anyway, that's alo for now. Cheerio!

Welcome! Update to .901 so this phone doesn't piss you. Can be a real slag without that update.
Cheers!

I am a bionic owner and love my phone, with that said you need to have your head examined I've been trying to get a nexus for weeks, lol. Just don't wanna pay $600 for it. If I could trade my bionic plus $200 or so I would be all over it!!!!!

So far I've done that Zerg manual root on the phone. Can I simply just download a ROM w/ .901 integrated or do I still have to do some sort of .901 update first?

well, the battery life was pretty bad on the thing and was pissed that the 'extended battery' was only 250mAh more then the stock. on top of that, unless the phone was charging in 'ac mode', it would lose charge if you were trying to use it while in 'usb mode' charging. also i had severe reception issues with it(kept going back & forth from 3g to 4g & occasionally lost signal all together). and finally, i wanted the extra cash for something.
either way though i qualify for another upgrade this march anyway... pretty sure though that i'm just going to hold off until the quad's are out.

If you look in one of the .901 threads you can find a link to.download the update. Flash it in bootstrap. After that you can change to any of the .901 compatible ROMs. I don't think the ROMs update the radio.

I would stay away from the nexus from what I have been reading. Getting some bad reviews.
I have a Tbolt and the Bionic and I like the Bionic better. The only thing the Bionic does not do is be on the phone and surf at the same time on 3G, but I never do that...
Now that I rooted the Bionic I like it even better, but just staying on the stock rom and stock radio I have no issues. Great phone...

Yeah, in reality there is nothing wrong with my Bionic and once we get ICS I'll be content. Kudos to Moto for setting the trend, announcing the Bionic would get ICS before other manufacturers made statements about their devices.

yeah the how to's in the dev section aren't exactly user friendly. basically though, i was not able to get CWM to work on it's own. you have to download that "Safestrap" .apk and install it. after doing so, it will install recovery itself. once that's done, you reboot your phone and press the MENU key once prompted, then you'll go into recovery.

Thanks I will get that a shot today.
Update... Working now. Thanks again

I may write out a few how to's with all the fixes.
I agree, out of all the phones/tabs I've rooted/ROM'd the how to's in the Bionic Dev section are a bit...lacking.
All the info is there, but it takes you 5 hours to figure it out b/c the steps, dummy guides, fixes are spread out all over the place between here and a few other forums.
Safestrap is really nice though.

Yeah, your right. I don't know exactly what safestrap is (assuming its similar to bootstrap which I use) and when I tried to research it I got confused and just decided to stick with bionic bootstrap since I can't find a reason why its needed even though everyone talks about it.

I wouldn't use rom manager, just do everything in one of the two recoveries. Here's a breakdown of the recoveries for the Bionic
Bionic Safestrap
-Allows two system partitions
-One system is non-safe system where your main stock system resides. You can make and restore backups in this partition but you cannot install custom roms.
-The other system is safe system. This is the partion that lets you install roms and what not.
-You can toggle between the two systems from within safestrap recovery. It will automatically backup the current system before switching over.
-Safestrap has a nice feature that prevents bricks. On restart if Safestrap is installed there is a boot menu that pops up. You can hit the menu button to get into recovery from there. This comes in handy if you are having a bootloop. Just pull battery, restart phone and hit menu key when safestrap animation appears.
-One downside is that webtop doesn't work in safe system and the rom may run a tad bit slower in safe system partition
Bionic Bootstrap
-This is the riskier one
-This is more like regular clockwork recovery. You boot intro recovery from the bootstrap app.
-You can make backups, install roms etc in bootstrap recovery
-If you enter a bootloop while using bootstrap recovery, your phone is pretty much bricked. Because of the encrypted bootloader there is not a way to get back into recovery if using bootstrap. You will have to use sbf/fxz from a pc computer to unbrick your phone.
*You can use bootstrap to install a custom rom as your main system, and then install safestrap after if you want. But fully know what your are doing before you do this. If you don't use webtop, I recommend safestrap recovery for everything. Here is something I wrote over at Droidforums
-I have been testing roms out in safestrap to make sure they install and load up correctly
-I then toggle back to my main system in safestrap
-I then uninstall safestrap and install bootstrap.
-Then I boot into bootstrap recovery through that app
-Make a backup in bootstrap (always have a backup of your stock unmodified system)
-Wipe data and cach
-Install the Rom that I first tested in safestrap
-After Rom loads up and your are done flashing you can install safestrap again if you want. This way you will have a rom as your safe system and you can have another rom as your non-safe system. Webtop will work with roms on your main system.

It's not possible to talk and surf at the same time on Verizon's 3g network. I don't believe that is a feature most people need or would even use, but it sounds good on the commercials.

The Nexus isn't worth it. I've tested it out and wasn't too impressed. One big thing I didn't like about it was that it only had 3 buttons compared to the normal 4 (home, back, search, menu). That might not be as big of deal with newer users who aren't as used to certain things, but I've been with Android for almost 3 years so the typical 4 buttons is a must as its something I became used to.
As far or the specs, its nothing to get excited about when they have much better coming out this spring and summer.
As far as ice cream sandwich, the bionic is getting it and will have Google's help with getting it set up for our phones.

How to nan droid back up?

I got rom manager and im trying to do a nan droid back up and when i select back up current rom my phone just restarts? Anyone got any ideas?

don't think no our phone supports from manager technically its supposed to take you to cwm and you navqgate to backup/restore so I think you have to do that in safe strap or what ever its called

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App

rooted no bootstrap

You have to install either Bootstrap or Safestrap to make nandroid backups with this phone.

which is better safestrap or bootstrap is there a difference?

Bootstrap is simpler but has less features. Personally it's the one I use, as it seems to do the job fine when running stock as I do. If you plan to install a lot of different ROMs, such as the ICS alpha, then you might be better off using Safestrap. It basically creates two system images, one stock and the other a custom ROM. The idea is that if you go into a bootloop with one system, you can switch to the other one instead of being stuck. There are some drawbacks -- I have heard it uses some RAM and slightly degrades performance. Also, Webtop works on one system but not the other.

I have always used bootstrap and never had any issues.

I have never used safestrap I am sure it works great. But since I am new to bionic if you bootloop can't you pull battery boot up in android recovery and wipe data and cache? Works everytime on droidx2.

If you want to play with other roms while having a main rom that you use daily, go with safe strap. If your going to stick to one rom, either one will work. You can flash and backup with each one.

[How To] Two Roms on One Device

People have been asking in the dev forum alot about how to have two roms on the same device. So i thought I would make a how to.
You do this at your own risk.
Things Needed:
external SD
Get CWM for droid3
SafeStrap for droid3
stable rom to use as nonsafe [put on external SD]
rom to use as safe [put on external SD]
TiBu
1. (make sure you are in nonsafe, if you don't know what this means then dont worry). Do a backup of everything you will want to keep with TiBu.
2. Put the backup on external SD or on dropbox.
3. Uninstall any existing recoveries.
4. Reboot device.
5. Install cwm.
6. Reboot into CWM Recovery and install stable rom.
7. Reboot device.
8. Uninstall CWM and Then install safestrap.
9. Reboot into safestrap recovery.
10. Use volume rockers to go to safe boot menu.
11. Toggle safesystem.
12. select install a zip
13. choose safe rom
14. DONE "]
The nonsafe system will now contain your stable rom. and the safe system will contain your 'experimental' or second rom. I recommend not putting any new or buggy roms as your nonsafe. And this is already considered a dangerous thing to do. And give a huge thanks to hashcode for providing us with safestrap and koush for cwm :]
I currently use MavRom as a nonsafe. Its extremely stable and has not caused any issues at all.

Also if you want to transfer the safe to the nonsafe, use tibu to entirely back up the rom, system and user apps, you can then restore it after flashing it to nonsafe. Make a new backup folder to put it in so you don't mix it up with other backups from different roms

I can't seem to get this to work with Cm7 as Safe rom and Cm9 as my experimental. I got Steel Droid to boot up and stock but I'm starting to think any rom that isn't blur based (which is really only cyanogen) isn't able to be dual booted. I just get a black screen after the splash screen I've been trying for a week now. If anybody is willing to give it a shot just to see if its me then please let me know of your findings but Mavrom Liberty SD all of those I can boot its cm7.1 or Cm9 that won't...

Damnit man I would rather not have to run cm7 as my stable rom seeing how I have no front facing camera support but the other features that the blur based roms lack just make it impossible to use as a daily driver. I need control over which buttons are in the notification widget and a few of the other features cm provides and none of the blurless roms give me that unfortunately... I'm determined to get this to work if its the last thing I do lol

I can't get cm7 to boot up past the safestrap splash screen.... I start out with bootstrap boot cm7 up and then remove bootstrap and install safestrap thus making cm7 my non safe or main rom but upon rebooting the phone I just get the black screen after the splash screen... I can get into safestrap and switch to safe mode and run whatever rom I last had there or flash any nandroids I had in non safe mode but whatever rom I had on prior to installing safestrap (cm7 or cm9) they won't actually reboot. I thought cm9 would work which would really be a hastle keeping that as my non safe rom and cm7 as my main one on the safe side thus leaving me to redo the entire process everytime a new cm9 is released but cm9 wouldn't boot up past the initializing apps screen that first pops up... It counts up to all the apps I have then just stays stuck on starting applications or whatever it says, cm7 doesn't even boot up beyond the splash screen...
Edit: And I know that I'm doing it right because I have got Steel Droid to dual boot before I just can't understand y blurfree roms can't boot in non safe mode

Ok im gonna give this another shot tonight..... haven't had the time or patience especially since I think its gonna fail again but ill update with my progress.... gonna try cm7 as the non safe and aokp as the safe one...
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

Ok, time to feel like a total noob.
So, my idea was to use safestrap to install aokp on the safe partition and leave my stock (+root) rom on the unsafe one.
I had bootstrap installed, just to back up my stuff and whatnot, so, I uninstalled it, installed safestrap, put all the stuff needed for AOKP ( rom, gsm patch and gapps ) and rebooted the phone. I enabled the safe system, and flashed rom, patch and gapps. then I rebooted, and I got into a loop where I would see the motorola logo ( the still one, which says "dual core technology" or something like that), then I got the safestrap splashscreen and if I pressed search, or left the phone idle so it would boot on it's own, it would get me to the motorola logo again, and repeat the loop.
I had to go back to the unsafe system and luckily it's all still there, but, since that point I tried every combination that I could think off, with wipes and I've flashed even just the rom, between wipes, and still, nothing.
I'm thinking that safestrap is not being able to write on the partition, or something like that, but I don't know how to solve it.
Any Ideas?
EDIT: I checked with a root explorer on /preinstall ( which I understand is the /system folder for the safe system ) and all the data seems to be there, but it's just not booting. Which makes me even more confused

I'm an idiot please help

So in my infinite wisdom I deleted com.android.providers.media using titanium backup. I thought I had backed the file up but apparently I didn't. Either that or it didn't actually back the file up. Either way elements of my phone are now totally burned as you would imagine. No gallery, no music in my music player, and no ringtones. So my question is even if I do a factory reset will that help? Yes this was the stock ROM yes I tried installing a stock image on top of the ROM but the installation froze and I had to reboot and restore my nan droid. No I didn't have a nandroid of before I started dicking around. And finally yes I am a complete idiot. Any help would be much appreciated.

Odexed\deodexed....ICS\JB...Stock\Custom....Bell\ATT\Other...not much to go on...either way, go to the Batakang FTP and download which rom you need and you'll always have a backup copy of all the files needed (the bottom two). If your not AT&T, then you can get deodexed versions on my Goo.im page or odexed versions directly from the fastboot.

Sweet thanks man. So would u say that I should safely be able to install over the stock ROM? Or should I wipe then install? Also since these are stock I can install them to ROM slot stock right?

Hey, so I've been doing a lot of research on safe strap and apparently you cannot overwrite the stock ROM slot which would be why I couldn't flash anything to it. So what I did was create a new slot (slot 1) with the stock image. I installed safestrap to that new ROM. My question now would be, If I create a nandroid of that ROM and restore it to the stock slot will that work? Or will it bork due to not having safestrap recovery installed to the system partition anymore and there for stop it from booting along with killing safestrap? Hoping some one can chime in on this one as I'm quite anxious to get back to normal phone use. at least for now all my sounds are back but having a 1 gig system partition is a major bummer.

That's where I'm at. On my stock rom, /system/etc/safestrap was added, logwrapper was modified to execute 2nd-init. AFAIK, that's all that was added. I'm so used to the Defy bootstrap method that I'm having a hard time getting used to SS - Defy BS was clearly laid out on what was executed and when that was done -- I've even looked at the SS source and its scripts and still can figure out what's the first script called by the 2nd-init loader....makes me feel super noob .

Well supposedly hash code said that after every restore and flash to the safe slot (stock) safe strap will reinstall itself on /system so if that's the case restoring any backup to that safe slot should be OK. But if that were the case no one would be able to brick. And I've seen people brick with and lose safestrap, and have to use RSD. Which is the road I don't want to have to go down. Really wish I had a definite answer because it seems like it should work but I don't want to do it unless some one who knows more about this than me confirms it.

[Q] Rom Replacement Procedure

My wife's droid 3 has been acting up. I have done multiple factory resets and nothing has worked. Eventually the phone will start just freezing in the middle of an app and the phone has to go thru a battery pull. Currently installed is Steel Droid 4.8. Safestrap 1.08 is currently installed with the safe system enabled. I would like to replace the rom with minimoto. My wife doesnt need alot of bells and whistles. Just the basics and that everything works. IE wifi camera etc. What steps do I need to take and in what order so I can do this safely. Thanks in advance.

No response.....

Please help. Thanks.

First install new safestrap 3.05 when you do this go to boot menu, create a rom slot and install new rom from your sdcard

So I don't have to disable the safe system first?

Yes, you do. Disable safe system and restart the phone to stock. Start the safestrap app and uninstall recovery. Install the new safestrap. Start it and tap install recovery. Restart the phone to make sure it works.
That said, I can't think of any reason why Minimoto wouldn't work on the older version of safestrap. Minimoto doesn't use the kexec kernel extensions in safestrap 3.x (that I know of.)
So, rather than going through the trouble of uninstalling the old version of safestrap, installing the new one, creating a rom slot for it, etc., maybe just install Minimoto with the older safestrap? Just do a wipe data/factory reset in safestrap and flash Minimoto. You should be good to go.
