[Project] Unlock Droid Bionic Bootloader [Update: 9/29 CWM!]

Hey Bionic owners,
Update #4: Looks like a Motorola update should be arriving soon... fire up those server-checking engines and keep checking over the next few weeks! http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/30/official-droid-bionic-bug-list-fix-coming-in-november/
Update #3: Thanks to "phydo" we have a better set of instructions. Also, it seems someone's found a file on motorola-staging1.blurdev.com. Updated instructions and CWM flash below.
Update #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17962554&postcount=143
Update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17507776&postcount=34
We ARE still looking for more files and more sources to help with the project. Please come forward if you can help!
There's a chance we can unlock the bootloader on this device with a simple method that led to the unlocked bootloader on the international Motorola Atrix and Sprint Motorola Photon 4G. Not sure if anyone's started the effort here. So, if you'd like to help the unlock process, follow the "Project Cheesecake" instructions below, or contribute in another way.
Ways to uncover unlockable bootloader:
Motorola, Verizon XML file sets for Motorola Droid Bionic
Project Cheesecake - finding update versions on Motorola servers
1. XML File sets
If you or someone you know can provide xml fastboot files that are tailored by Motorola for the Droid Bionic, you can help! Post them on XDA or another source to help the effort. If you wish to remain anonymous or keep the files unreleased, shoot me an email ([email protected]). Your file can be checked for an unlocked bootloader without compromising anonymity or file release.
FYI: XML sets may look like this: "fastboot-p2D_targa_cdma_targa-user-X.X.X-X.X.X_XX_DBN-55-110814-release-keys-Verizon-US.tar.gz"
2. Cheesecake
This project involves scanning Motorola's update servers for potentially helpful build files. You'll need to carefully follow the directions below to obtain files and then send those files to be checked out further. You can send me a PM or email ([email protected]).Alternatively, post the files on XDA or another source and I will check them.
Instructions:
List of servers:
Code:
master-lab.blurdev.com
master-demo.blurdev.com
master-dev.blurdev.com
master-qa1.blurdev.com
master-qa2.blurdev.com

master-bqa1.blurdev.com
master-bqa2.blurdev.com
testcloud01-sdc1.blurdev.com
Root the device
Install the Bionic Clockwork Mod Boostrap Recovery
If you want, boot into recovery mode and create a backup. You will need to wipe all of your applications/cache later in the process.
Boot into recovery mode and choose "Wipe Data" then "Wipe Cache" to wipe your Bionic device.
Return your device to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262540 -- Flash the FXZ file in RSD Lite.
Root your Droid Bionic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254516
Install the attached "bionic-servers.zip" file in recovery
Reboot your device.
Enter the Phone/Dialer application and type this number:
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
You can now see the diagnostic menu. Click the bottom option for "Motorola Services" and you should be able to see that the master cloud has changed to: "master-lab.blurdev.com"
Now go to Menu >> Settings >> About phone >> System updates
Check for an update!
If it doesn't work, continue with Step 13. If it works, continue with Step 20.
Edit the file "defaults.xml" located in /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.services.blur/defaults.xml
Change the server to a new one from the list at the beginning of the thread.
Boot back into recovery mode
Wipe Data and Wipe Cache
Reboot
Check for an update Menu >> Settings >> About phone >> System update
If it says "Update Available," let the update download. Do not install the update, because it could potentially brick your device. If no update is available, revert to step #13.
Pull the update.zip file from /cache [Root Explorer or ADB] and upload/post the file for developer interest.
Root explorer: Navigate to the root folder. Then click on "cache" and look for a .zip file. Long press it and "copy" the file to your SD card. Mount your device as a USB host and transfer the file to your computer.

Is it a retail or developmental SBF? Both ether way would be nice.

Retail. I cannot guarantee it will have an unlocked bootloader. I should also clarify I do not have it in my possession yet. Retail SBF's are pushed by Moto generally within the first week of release. I will keep you all posted.

i wish you guys luck in this. these companies need to start shipping with s-off.

Look for an xml.zip file of fastboot images because that is how the D3 firmware has appeared, not in SBF format for use with RSD Lite.
I believe this is how we may see many future firmware files, perhaps even exclusively.

The thing to remember about the photon thou is the method used to unlock the bootloader broke 4g. Hopefully that issue has been addressed and corrected but i honestly dont follow the photon

Good luck with this.
I can honestly say this will make or break my decision about me (as well as many others) purchasing the bionic.

+1. Wonder if Motorola shareholders understand locked bootloader=no sale?

wish there was someway i could help with this. bought a bionic yesterday, goodluck fellas, might see if i can get a few bucks to add to the bounty(college seems to be expensive).

well..........they do loose alot of business just because they are locked down.......thats the only reason i'm waiting for the prime. Bought a droid x2 when they first came and i didn't know what i was getting myself into = mistake. Don't get me wrong, there hardware is top notch and the call quality is top notch, but that's not justifiable for being so locked down.

They really don't. If they did, they would have made the switch by now. Rooting/development community users don't make up more than 5-10% of the users of the phones.

But considering it's been quite awhile since Moto Mobility has turned a profit, even if the bootloader complainers don't represent a lot of people, it can still bring them even closer to getting into the black.
Is Moto that profitable that it can afford to leave money on the table?

[Tool] OneClickRoot - ONLINE

DISCLAIMER
Rooting devices involves dangerous procedures that might leave your phone in an unusable state if not followed to the letter. I am not responsable for you bricking your device. DO THIS AT YOUR RISK AND RESPONSABILITY
THIS IS FOR STOCK DEVICES ONLY
INTRODUCTION
Hi,this tool is intended to make the rooting process a little easier than already is however, is a work in progress and I am new to this, so I expect feedback, comments and advices as I am no dev. Thanks for the support
THE TOOL
This is a tool for rooting the International Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) only. It runs all the methods known at the moment. I have not developed anything but gather all the procesess in just one script file.
Take into consideration that this is not one click only, as the root for ICS and GB 2.3.6 need interaction with the user and in the latter case needs the use of Odin to downgrade.
Rooting Methods
Gingerbread
Version 2.3.5 is direct rootable with DooMLoRD'S easy rooting Kit (included in the script)
Version 2.3.6 is downgraded to a prerooted 2.3.5 rom (which is downloaded and pushed to the device). From there, you can flash Mobile Odin and update to any Android version you are willing.
IceCream Sandwich and JellyBean
You can choose among three choices External sdcard is required for this!!.:
1. Flashing signed zip version of Philz kernel (safe kernel + advanced recovery)
2. Flashing SuperSU in stock recovery without changing the kernel.
3. Flashing SU and busybox in stock recovery.
You can choose to root using Exynos Abuse app from Chainfire also (Not included in the script). For this method go to these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
The tool guides you through the whole process and prompts the instructions in the cmd session. The files needed to gain root access will be downloaded automatically by the script and md5sum checked. However, you need to follow instructions in order to suceed.
INSTRUCTIONS
This is a windows script only...to succeed, follow these steps:
Samsung drivers have to be installed. Install Kies in your PC to get the lastest drivers. Make sure that the phone is unplugged when you install the drivers.
Download the GalaxyNote-OneClickRoot.zip file and unzip it somewhere you can find it.
Open the OneClickRoot.cmd file as administrator (use right click over the file and run as administrator)
Enable USB debugging in the phone.
Plug the phone to the PC and just follow the instructions.
ENJOY!!
Note: The hack tools used in this script do not belong or were developed by me. I thank all the dev's and contributors that made this script possible. Thanks to:
Philz3759 for his amazing work with the kernels.
Dr. Ketan for the feedback and support.
Chainfire for his constant contributions to the GN community.
XDA for being such a great community.
All the guys in the aahkSupport IRC channel for letting be part of this community, the patience and the teaching (attn1, shad0wf0x, Anthony1s, burgd, Paxtoncamaro91, hyuh, and so many others)

I have already modified the code. If the issue is what I am thinking, then it should be working now...report back..regards

download is ok now

So it's basically one tool for all directly rootable GB kernels ? No more checking the kernel and downloading proper package ? Not that it was such a difficult thing, but improvements like that are amazing Next time i need to root, im gonna definitely use this stuff.

Actually, it supports all Android versions. Direct rootable are done directly with Doomlord's tool, but all the other versions needs the user to follow instructions. Take into consideration that GB 2.3.6 needs to be downgraded first. But the downgrade firmware and the correct cf kernel are all downloaded by the script, even Odin is included...you just need to press start and follow commands, the rest in done in here.
For ICS, the files needed are downloaded and sent to your sdcard / external_sd. The phone booted in stock recovery and from there on, you have to flash the files....not 100% but don't have to look for the files and the correct thread. All the instructions are in the screen...
Hope you can test it. Thanks for the support....:good:

Is your device N7000 or N7000B? that is weird, I have tested many times with my HTC and my Note and works great.
Just a favor, would you send me the following info:
Plug your phone with usb debugging on
Open a cmd in the PC
Type: adb shell getvar all
Paste the outcome as code in here or send me a pastebin link
Just to check your model id...thanks for the feedback...

Simple Root for Unlocked Bootloaders (SGP311/312)

It was clear that rooting some Sony devices was not as easy as it should be. This is for unlocked bootloader users, who want to quickly root a stock ROM by flashing a rooted boot.img. It is for the POLLUX_WINDY (ie. the SGP311/312) devices ONLY.
Do not install this on the Pollux (tablet Z with LTE), or it will no longer boot - use flashtool to fix it
There may have been some in the past, but these tend to be full of other "tweaks", like hideous amateur boot logos, and stupid changes like setting ro.secure=0. That's a bad idea, it can break things, and frankly, I know from experience of myself and others that there is a need for a FAST way to root your unlocked device after flashing a new ROM, rather than messing around with downgrading and OTAs.
This will NOT work on locked bootloader, but this is not intended for them. This doesn't include 9001 different recoveries either, like some "kernels" do. This is the stock kernel, with root added, and nothing stupid added.
There is one security improvement made - ro.adb.secure has been set to 1. This is an important security feature, please don't complain about it. If you don't use ADB, you'll never see it, and it won't change anything. If you use adb, it will offer you greater security on 4.2+ stock Sony ROMs, which don't have this feature enabled. You will be prompted to accept the computer connection on the phone, just like in "AOSP" Android 4.2 and above.
The downloads are available above, in the "Downloads" tab. If you have a particular version you wish to request, simply post the kernel.sin. I have made this for only the SGP311/312 (Pollux_Windy) Tablet Z phone images right now, but will consider expanding it for other devices if there is demand and people who can test.
Enjoy simple root, without the nonsense. None of the "don't mirror my files" crap. None of the "please give me donations", none of the "omg credit me as the best person ever". Feel free to share, use, re-use, mirror, enjoy. And I think you'll find that these files are rather helpful for the unlocked bootloader root community I've been thinking about making them for months, but it seems that nobody has ever bothered to.

But, since I feel generous, if you upload me the kernel.sin file from your LTE model, I will make a rooted boot.img for it. You can attach them to a post here if you like - just the kernel.sin. Please name them per the stock ROM version, so I can label it correctly.

You just did a ro.secure in the ramdisk
Am I right?

Nope. Setting ro.secure=0 is NOT the right way to root.
The ramdisk is modified, it will detect if you have root already, and if not, it will install SuperSU and the corresponding su binary on root. I also set ro.adb.secure=1, to add extra security for the device (now you need to approve ADB connections to unrecognised computers).
If you use ro.secure=0, this will break many apps with "root detection", as well as being a horrendously ugly hack, which introduces all sorts of vulnerabilities. ro.secure should always be set to 1
I strongly advise you don't use root methods that set ro.secure=0, as well as any kernels that do it. It's much safer to not have a rooted ADB shell lying available to anything that connects to your device... Including... you know... an app running on your device that initiated an adb connection to 127.0.0.1
So yes, this gives you root without adding stupid extra security holes like many kernels and "root methods" do

Instead of going through all the trouble of unlocking the boot loader and flashing an image, use the Vroot tool instead; it works fast and and does not require unlocking the boot loader. Search this forum for information about the Vroot tool.

[ROOT][SGP351/321/311/312][4.3] Update to 10.4.B.0.569/577 [UB/LB][XZDualRecovery]

Rooted 4.3 as per this details
Please read the instructions clearly and flash, i will not responsible for any Brick/failures on your Tablet.
Stop by and thanks to @[NUT] without him we don't have the root now.
Copy Paste from his Forum and modified for SGP351
Requirements:
Flashtool by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.6 RELEASE or newer.
Current FW version: 10.3.1.A.0.307,
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL root, no reboots when remounting /system RW!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.62 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
Tailored FTF to minimize the chance of accidental system wiping!
No need to clear caches!
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
for SGP321\SGP311\SGP312 click Here
SGP351: How to update to 10.4.B.0.569::
For SGP351: Download the files here (SGP351 latest 4.3.zip and SGP351_10.4.B.0.569_US Stripped.ftf), save it somewhere you remember; (mirror)
Put 'SGP351 latest 4.3.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'SGP351_10.4.B.0.569_US Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in CWM or TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard0';
Flash 'SGP351 latest 4.3.zip' in Philz, after flashing the ROM,
do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'SGP351_10.4.B.0.569_US Stripped.ftf';
Reboot to system without clearing (dalvik-/)cache.
The first boot will be considerably slower and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android optimizing the apps on your phone.
I have done this myself, using this method and I have not found any problem yet, again! :fingers-crossed:
Enjoy! :laugh:

Just a thought... Considering the XZ phone and the Tab Z LTE have the same firmware number, 10.4.B.0.569 can you flash a fw from the z phone to the tablet? or am i being stupid? i.e. this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850

Thank you for your work! That's exactly what i need! :good:
Edit: installed the SGP321 version and I can confirm everything is working fine, including root and recovery!

@`SBR` you can modify the guide, you won't be needing the supersu_fix for this ROM, your package will work just as good, the fix has been applied to the update 2 package
I'm a bit pressed for time and can't support all devices at once with these packages, so exactly THIS is why i created the DIY thread, so people like you can do the same and help a fellow user get a proper rooted ROM with dual recovery :good:

So here is the ftf for sgp311 Nordic ,SBR could you please edit and add it to the first page guide ,
Thanks

Dropbox links are inoperative due to too much traffic generated, so i can't (better we can't) download the files required to root XTZ (SGP321).
There's a possibility to upload them to another service, like MEGA or GDrive?

I never downloaded the 321 so cant help with those files since I have the 351 but in the meanwhile until links are fixed by the op I put the ftf and latest zip on my drop box for the SGP351 for how ever long it lasts.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91732978/SGP351 latest 4.3.zip
will remove these when they have found a more permanent home from the op

Translate to English if you want.

I just went back to v4 because of no-charging problem. I somehow managed to flash v4 with charger connected.
I saw that "battd" does not start at all. Needs more work. Good for taste but cannot live long with the taste.
Excellent work though.

Great work guys, I will test it on my spare atrix....
Thanks.
