Bunker Buster DTR Info​

1. What does this do?

This modifies the services.jar file located in system/framework, that allows you to have an un-throttled data access. You don't have to worry about modifying anything yourself.

2. Will this make my Data faster?

In some cases, YES. This has NO effect on actual phone signal. This only takes the throttle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on.

3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?

Sort-of. This will cause Force Closes when you try to select Mobile Network in Settings. Thats the only thing you should notice. I'm working on a work around for this. For now you can still kill Data with a widget or any other sort-of alternative way you want to. This should not physically harm your phone though.

4. Will this work on any ROM?

Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY HTC Droid Incredible ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, ask your dev. In any case you may send me your services.jar and I will look at it for you.

5. Do I have to be rooted?

Yes. In order to be able to flash this, you are going to need to have root with CWM3.X Recovery. This uses edify scripting.

6. Does this effect data cap?

No, this mod only effects throttling. You may still be charged data cap overage even if your using this mod.

7. My personal favorite: Does it work or is it placebo?

I have used this several times. For me it does seem to work. I do not have internet at my house and so I have to tether with my phone. I use about 4-12GB of Data a month. Netflix, Xbox Live, Roming, music and everything else. While using this my Data moves as normal. Without this mod my Data usually only crawls. So if you ask me Yes it does work.

IMPORTANT ADVICE ON USING A DTR​

Through my own personal use of DTR's, I have found that the best time to flash a DTR is right after you do a fresh install of your Rom.

Here is what I normally do:

1. Place my Rom on my SD Card along with my DTR.

2. Reboot into CWM Recovery.

3. Wipe everything that is supposed to be wiped.

4. Flash my Rom.

5. REBOOT THE PHONE.

6. QUICKLY set up my phone.

This part is important!!!

7. Go into Settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile Networks.

8. I usually set my data to always connected and data roaming on. You can do whatever you need to right here. But keep in mind once you flash the DTR you will not be able to access this menu! Thats why its important to do it now!

9. Reboot into CWM Recovery.

10. Flash the DTR and reboot the phone.

Rule of thumb is to do all of this as quickly as possible. The reason why is because as soon as you boot your phone, your phone will start syncing. Its syncing your contacts and other stuff as well. Some of that other stuff also includes where you are on your usage of your data plan. If it detects that you are over limit it will then activate the throttle process. A little more on this. This DTR does not actually REMOVE the throttle per say. It simply removes the files that the phone system uses to BUILD the throttle. Without the needed throttle files the phone won't be able to set up the throttle which in turn means you will be running at full network data speed. Now do you see why this is important to do this quickly?

So basically lets say, if you've been running a Rom for a few days and then you decide to flash a DTR...expecially if you've noticed your data slowing down, it's already to late. You might as well do a FULL wipe and follow my instructions above. Its the only way to regain your full Data speed again.

Hopefully this sheds a little light on how the phone side throttle works as well as the DTR.

NOTE: As much as I hate to say it, a DTR can never be able to stop a network side throttle. A DTR is only good for stopping the phone side throttle!
