Full recovery plus bptools entry into recovery. So no more stuck in bootloops!
uninstall the other recovery app, then install this one, then run the bootstrap then you're good to go!
Another new recovery coming withing a week or so.
Just posted this, a mod can delete my thread though because this has more info.

Yes sir, your quite right. It IS coming soon. I already have a packaged and deodexed version ready to go, once CWM supports ROM flashing. Of course, with no unlocked bootloader, there isnt much I can do about overclocking, but the rest of the tweaks should be very welcome!

In a few short days this will support ROM flashing. Just be patient.
i first diiscovered this rom on this thread
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/218745-jelly-bean-rom-starting-roll-out.html
Here is the download link for the rom
and here is the link for the gapps
I did not build this but i have tested it. the data does work sometimes if you play with the settings but no camera. its still a very early release created by dhacker29 and hashcode and i just wanted to share it here too.
Hmmm I think I'll stick with CM for now. Too many bugs not to notice. Maybe if the Bionic wasn't my main device.....
Looks cool, defignitly not a daily driver though.

It will only run with an ICS leak in the unsafe partition?
I've been using it for about 24 hours now. Very stable, fast, smooth, and promising. Only issues I've had are the known issues of camera and data.

Actually right now the CM10 is preferred to use safestrap instead of bootstrap since it's in alpha stage. I tried it with safestrap 2.0 while running .232 on safeside. Very smooth and responsive with WiFi only for data.
You might want to brush up on your bootstrap skills since the ICS leak roms will only be able to load up with it to completely run. The ICS leak roms will require a much larger partition to run on and safestrap doesn't provide it.
Hi, new to the bionic but have been flashing my x and x2 for a while. I'm on the .232 leak with safestrap 2.0 installed. I got as far as >safestrap menu>enable safe system but then a warning screen appeared saying something along the lines of "are you sure, this cannot be undone", which scared me. Obviously i would like to return to my unsafe side.
also, i have read this link http://www.droidforu...ions.html������ which says i must go to mounts and storage and format /system. however i havent seen that step anywhere else i've looked. I assumed once i got to the safe system i should just flash the cm10 zip and gapps then wipe the big three. this is preventing me from flashing cm9 as well.
in regards to the rom itself, any update on data, im in a pretty well covered 4g area. also, i use my phone as a hotspot around my apartment and was wondering if anyone could confirm the cm10 hotspot works.
thanks in advance if you can answer any or all of these questions

Yes. Be on an ICS leak, and if you use Safestrap you install it on the safe side.

Vague reply is vague and potentially FUD. If you could explain your comment about the safestrap partition size, it would likely be appreciated.
The way I understand it is that Bootstrap is required for custom ROMs based on blurry ICS. If you're flashing an AOSP/CM based custom ROM, then Safestrap is sufficient. The reason being that Safestrap stores /system inside the /preinstall partition since it's mounted on boot and the internal or external sdcards, I'm thinking, are not.
/preinstall is not large enough after the ICS leak has been flashed to store a full blur based custom ROM and the original /system
Why moto decided to mess with the partition tables is beyond me. I can only guess that they needed more room on /system because ICS is bulkier than Gingerbread and they robbed Peter to pay Paul by taking the left over space from /preinstall. Novel solution, but it causes problems with safestrap.
This remap of the partition tables would also explain why an ICS version of Safestrap and Bootstrap had to be made.
safestrapped over .232 no data and i have the screen rotation bug. still awesome though
anyone have a working link to this and maybe screen shots?
[Q] Only JB ROM ?
Hello...is this the only JB ROM available for Bionic? As always, thank you to the Devs!
Seems to be. everyone is waiting for the first FXZ Leak of JB to really get it reliable. ( dont hold your breath from what i hear).. as i understand it.
If you check out rombot.org formally droidhive sparkyman has released tormented. It's based on cm10 he is updating it frequently and he is very supportive in the thred . A lot of people are getting solid data 3g more than 4g. Its very fast and quite stable. Here's a link.

I just found this, Perhaps it will solve your problem:
fohdeesha said:
Ah interesting, I would think i9000 bootloaders on an i897 would CAUSE issues!
I put together a little package for anyone with an i897 captivate still having shutdown issues and is still frustrated. Give this a try, I have a feeling they will disappear.
Use this Odin one click to wipe/reset your phone to the latest official rom, uckk4. This one click INCLUDES the latest bootloaders ever released for our phone, both primary and secondary. These are the bootloaders that have made mine and others shutdown issue disappear. This is completely safe to one-click no matter what is on your phone right now, just use a reliable USB cable like with any other flash. No matter what state your phone is in, if you can get into download mode, this will wipe your phone to 2.3.5 with 2.3.5 bootloaders
http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip
After you've done that, use this odin package to install CWM recovery for the stock 2.3.5 installation you now have
http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip
Now you can get into CWM and flash whatever rom you want! ICS, jellybean, whatever. And you now have the latest 2.3.5 bootloaders and your shutdown issue should be gone. I've done this several times to several captivates now with zero issues. I hope this helps someone!

Yeah I remember now. I9000 ROMs aren't being ported anymore, are they? I know flashing a I9000 ROM is quite the bad idea on our phone (even tho some people reported it worked fine) but it makes me wonder if using a I9000 ROM on I9000 bootloaders would be fine for those with SoD issue on JB where only flashing the I9000 BLs don't solve their problem.. (PS.: Don't attempt this if you don't know what you're doing lol). I'm thinking the home button won't work and screen might not be oriented correctly tho.

Update to Build 4.08.605.19 Published on February 1st, 2013 Written by: Kellex DroidLife.com
The original DROID Incredible by HTC, a device released almost three years ago, is set to receive its next OTA update. The update is minor to build 4.08.605.19, and simply includes a fix to reduce reboots, but man, how random is that?
We didn’t think anything could top the randomness of the Thunderbolt Ice Cream Sandwich update that popped up yesterday through Big Red’s support site, however, it’s safe to say that this just topped it.
The update is 4.2MB in size.

Well considering the extreme annoyance caused by the 2am reboot thing that was introduced with the last OTA, this update was long overdue. Hey, an update to ICS would be truly awesome but it would be a bit bigger than 4.2Mb I dare say (and would involve a whole lot more time and money to develop, something that would be very majorly hugely unlikely for a three year old device like this).

Cm 10.1 doesn't even fit well on the inc without some tweaking. There's no way a sense ICS will fit on 250mb when AOSP is smaller than sense. Do you remember how the sense build that I worked on with puremotive needed symlinks to fit and that's the lighter version of sense?

The phone is no longer registered on Verizon's network, so I'm guessing that means I would not get access to an OTA update if I placed the 4.08.605.15 RUU on this phone - correct?

Yes the update is now active. I saved it if anyone wants to root it and or check it out. I have not installed it.
I have the stock ROM.. I got prompted to update an hour ago.. it went through fine. I was hoping it would fix the proximity sensor bug which drains the battery (dialer process in battery view). Haven't checked whether it was fixed yet, but I doubt it.
FYI, I'm using the phone through Page Plus.. which relies on Verizon's network. I never expected to see an update for this phone..

Was your phone rooted and s-off prior to the OTA and if so, did you lose root? Have you tried to root again?

As someone who has owned the Bionic since launch, and just jumped to CM 10.1 a few days ago, I'll chime in here. It's a much better phone since CM 10.1. That said, be prepared for issues initially. I had a lot of problems and was ready to give up - until I did a factory reset on the CM 10.1 ROM. If you decide to make the switch, you can root, install SafeStrap, and flash CM 10.1 and Gapps with confidence, as long as don't mind doing a factory reset and rebuilding everything. Since the phone is new to you, that shouldn't be much of a deterrent.
I personally would recommend making the plunge.
Thanks a lot... is there any thing not working... i heard the camera is fixed...

Yep, camera works fine. Check out the last page or two of the post related to the ROM you intend to flash to see what kind of issues people are working. From the Official CM 10.1 ROM:
WHAT'S NOT WORKING (NOTE: I expect to be able to fix all of these issues, it's just taking some time):
Gallery / Media FC see top of the post for FIX.
HDMI
Dock/Dock Settings
Some random reboots being looked at.

What did you mean when you said you had to reset on the CM ROM? Does the ROM still stay on the phone after the reset? Also, what did you have to do to rebuild everything?
I have another post asking for advice on rooting and ROMs. If you could help me out too, that would be great. I am interested in CM.

After installing the CM 10.1 20130326 NIGHTLY for the first time on a newly rooted Bionic, the phone was extremely unstable. A factory reset made all that go away. I elected to download all my apps again for a fresh start. Right now, it's working well.

All the early bugs have been fixed with the exception of the speaker phone. I stepped away for Icarus and now I am back
