So I installed safestrap and flashed a ROM based off the new ota. Now that it looks like pwnmymoto2 will provide root on phones that took the ota I was wondering if I can red back to stock. My phone is running flawlessly with the ROM, its just I used quite a bit of space to do all this.

Hello, I just came from the bolt today.. never had a motorola before so this locked boot loader is new to me..
I really want to flash a Droid theory ROM as I'm used to his work from previous phones but I can't find one based on .886... Do I have to use this cheesecake thing to download .893 in order to flash a ROM based on .893 or would it run ok on .886?
I'm pretty sure I need to update to .893 but I'm gonna hold off for the real ota..just hoping I can somehow use a ROM built off it..

I'm running Th3ory Shift3r and have not updated to .893. Just posted a screenshot in the Screenshot thread of it.
You think it's just that ROM or would all of them work?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
U don't have to update. The custom rom is built on the 893 system files. NOT the full update that also updates the kernel and radio, etc. U can safely flash the theory rom. When I decide to restore back to stock using one of the fastboot restore to stock method s u will be 100% back to stock. The custom roms do not update the kernel or radio so there is no risk at all of taking u off the ota update path. Flash away

I've flashed Theory (both Shifter and Purity), Eclipse, and Liberty. Never had to update to the leak.
Awesome thanks guys!

Alright so recently, the build of AOKP I've been using has been getting exponentially worse and worse. I decided to do something about it, so I downloaded the newest version of Safestrap and AOKP, installed the new Safestrap, and then did all that other fun stuff. I boot into recovery only to find that the menus don't show up no matter what I do. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Safestrap and also rebooting the phone multiple times. Anybody know how to fix this?

There are different versions of safestrap. One for running with stock GB and one for ICS. You should update your stock system to ICS first then use safestrap 2.0.
Forgot to add that I'm on ICS already, sorry about that.

Anyone have specific install instructions for slim kat on targa? Do I need a specific version of ss, do I need to install on slot 1? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well I got no replies, but I went ahead and updated safestrap to 3.65, and installed on slot 1. It is working well.

Well, then. That's better than I got on my Bionic. CyanFox, CM11, or SlimKat(current) would not even breathe on slot 1.
Any other slot, and I was golden.
Yep, test, play, tweak, or wreck.....blow that slot up and go at it again.

Running 3.65; was looking into updating TWRP since I went from SlimKat 3.2 to 3.6.
I'm running SlimKat just fine on Slot 1.

It works now. Did the AOSP WiFi Fix (check the CM11 topic)
I personally recommend updating to 3.72 safestrap. I was getting errors flashing JBX Kernel until I did that (correctly).
Was anyone able to download the new update? I keep getting a server error.

Its good to see people still flashing custom ROMs on their bionics. I still have my bionic and its going as strong as ever. My son uses it and he loves it.
I installed Slimkat and I can't get past the loading screen. It just keeps flashing the Slimkat logo over and over indefinitely.
Alright, I fixed the problem. I made the mistake of using the old bootstrap to install Slimkat, so I wound up with a bricked device. Even the recovery was wiped out so I thought I was screwed. I did some digging and figured it out over the course of a few hours...
I downloaded the latest firmware for the Bionic and tried installing them in the command line while the phone was in fastboot. The img files supposedly loaded successfully, but I still couldn't get into recovery to finalize the system installation. Luckily I discovered RSD 5.6. It worked except there were a few problems in the xml file within the firmware, so I had to take out both lines that had "oem" in them to get it to finish.
After that my Bionic was brought back to factory stock condition. I rooted using the Safe Root command line tool, installed Safestrap 3.73, and flashed Slimkat. It worked great!
If you're having similar issues and I didn't give enough info just let me know and I'll try to help.
Please don't crucify me if this is already covered. I looked but didn't find it.

4.2.2 using TWRP
I had lots of issues (cause I'm stupid) getting it loaded. Anyway... I want to revert back to stock 4.2.2, update to kitkat then load the exposed framework.
Can someone point me in the direction of how to accomplish that?
Thank you!
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
OK wait... Told you I was stupid.
TWRP is what gives me root? So when I created my backup before installing TWRP something went wrong and I've not been able to revert back to stock to upgrade to kitkat
How can I do that?

there's no need to take the ota because the fxz is available:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
download the vzw 4.4 file and flash with either moto fastboot or rsd lite. please don't ask how to do this, there are many tutorials available.
btw, you can flash all partitions if you want, but really need to flash only boot, system, and radio (NON-HLOS.bin).
Thanks!

My buddy got a note 3 with jb firmware. We decided to software update it. We were successful with one update. This one....see pic. Well now we are trying to upgrade it to the kk update. But we are stuck with message see the other pic attached. It's been stuck on this for a good hour. Any suggestions?

If you plan to root the phone, you want to update to a leaked version of kitkat
DK 4.1, GPE Orange, Xposed, xgel, and other great extras
Ok. Well we updated to that version u see right there. How do I go about updating to a leaked version?

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701062 and you don't need the leaked version to get root towel root works fine on official kk
