I can't speak authoritatively, however I cab say getting experience I have been running .902 eclipse for many months without any issues at all!

Sent from BIONIC rooted with eclipse ROM
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wetzel402:
All of the ICS builds I have been playing with work with .9xx antenna. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Ditto. Axi0m's 3-20 ICS rom is the best. No data issues (you never have to toggle network stuff)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wetzel402:
I may have to check out that ROM. The AOKP ROM I am running right now has a data hiccup at boot about 1 out of 3 times but is as simple to fix as toggling data off and then on. It also offers great customization.

Once I free up some time I might start working with init 2 win it on porting boot manager so we can get true multi boot support.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] emuhack:
This is Truly amazing List...

Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Just as a tidbit I did see on the AOKP site mention of Bionic. I don't know if that means it will be merged but it only appeared for a short while and now the reference is missing. Curious and curiouser.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wetzel402:
Hi,

I added all of your information to the Bionic Wiki :D

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
And I don't even get a link?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tomsgt:
Terror 1 should add safe strap 2.0 for ics leak to the op. :) great thread thanks

[Motorola Droid Bionic] anudist:
Hello all,

My brother apparently decided that he knew what he was doing with his Bionic, rooted it, and installed a new ROM through ROM Manager, seemingly without going through the proper methods outlined in the threads linked here. When looking in About Phone, he has 5.5.886. The phone will not reboot into Recovery, because I have no doubt that he didn't install one, and the phone doesn't appear to be updated to the current radio version. He installed the Liberty ROM, if that helps.

So I'm looking for some help here, do I need to just download one of the FXZ files, flash through the methods using RSDLite? Or is there another step involved before doing that? Is there a stock rom I can download, and flash through ROM Manager, so I can start the process over correctly?

Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wetzel402:
You should be able to download and install bootstrap which will give you a recovery to work with.

Having 5.5.886 would be an old radio so it will not play well with newer versions of Liberty. Depends which version he installed.

You could also use RSDLite and flash back to stock just remember to back up everything before proceeding.

Please start a new help thread and link to it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Now that I have hosting I will probably start accepting donations, I would prefer not to but it will have to happen at some point. Just in the last 24 hours the files that I am hosting have been downloaded over 100 times from XDA which will mean at some point my hosting provider will get all butt hurt.

Stay tuned for more info as it arrives.

Just RSDLite back to 902 or 905 and everything will be "Rock N' Roll" with radios and recovery, if going to 902 be sure to update to 905 by going into settings and checking for update. Once you have done that you can root, install a bootstrapped recovery then install Liberty 3. At that point you should have a working device.

Status 6 error

I can't seem to get any of the leaked ICS ROMs to work on my Bionic -- any suggestions/ideas as to why that might be? Installs of other ROMs work fine. I did not change the files' names or do anything else to them, btw.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Totally worth the dual core if you can stand it. My wife loves hers and is the only reason why I have been updating this. You can thank Mrs. Terror_1.

You need to be on a bone stock system. You have to FXZ back to 905 and then go from there.

Also, there is a 238 leak on cheesecake but I don't have a link to it yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BillyTheBull:
Hmm ... does that mean I'll lose the dual-boot option and/or safe-strap? I was really trying to see if I could get it to work from within the "safe system" first, and only go with ICS once I know everything runs ok. (I'm running Eclipse 3.0 as my regular ROM on the "regular" boot.) I have been able to install the Gummy ICS into my safe system, but the problem there is that the webtop stuff is not working, and some of the camera functions are flaky.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SlimMan:
.238 seen different places where this is leaked but haven't been able to find a link... anyone know of one?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SlimMan:
Might want to update the OP and remove the gummy as it is not longer being supported and it doesn't work the the current .232.

That was posted int the Gummy OP @ RootzWiki on 7/13/12
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wetzel402:
The .905 RSDlite build is corrupt or something. It fails to unzip.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BillyTheBull:
Agreed. It says something like "Get decompress file size error"

The .902 build decompresses just fine -- I've flashed it before -- but now I can't use it, either, for some strange reason. The error I get (after decompressing) says "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing."

Help??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
I'll look into the file errors tonight and see if I re-upload tomorrow morning.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BillyTheBull:
Ok, so I figured out the problem with the XML file error, and it was on my end. (Sorry! :o) I was able to correct it by installing the latest version of the Microsoft XML Parser. (I'm trying to post a link, but the forum won't let me ... if you need it, just google it, ok?!) :victory:

I think there is a a problem with your 905 build, though. I found it somewhere else (don't remember where) with a file size of 680MB, and that one works fine. Getting ready to flash, then on to an ICS leak ... wish me luck!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tomsgt:
Thank you thank you thank you. I couldnt figure this out for the life of me. Now i can finally FX my bionic with out this big head ache. I always had to use the the path saver now i can use RSD lite again. :D:D:D:D:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lance2ecnal:

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BillyTheBull:
At least half of the download links for ROMs in the OP are dead at this time....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Yes, you would be right about that. It seems like droidhive went missing and other things have moved about quite a bit since my last update.

Currently the community is excessively fragmented throughout different sites and getting information has become harder then it needs to be, updates will cease at this time.

Someone with more energy than myself has started a thread at rootzwiki that can be used in this threads absence.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] lucidlust:
...delete...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tucstwo:
With all due respect to the OP for once creating such a nice list of links. But I believe the word you're looking for is "Deprecated" not "Depreciated". "Deprecated" is a word often used when discussing computer science. And it basically means, "To mark as obsolete; to warn against its use in the future so that it may be phased out."

"Depreciated" is normally a monetary term meaning, "To lessen the price or value of. To write off an expenditure for (a tangible asset) by prorating over a certain period, usually the estimated useful life of the asset."

Not trying to be a ****, just sayin'. It looks kinda silly. Cheers

I need to find a GB rom without the blue tooth bug that is in the newer CM7 rom's. What is the best alternative right now? I prefer an AOSP rom, but I guess I can deal with a sense rom. I'm a huge fan of CM but I really need this problem solved.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
One option is to use an older cm nightly. 152 is confirmed to work. Have you tried kuskdeck's ROM or omgb/omfgb?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffkro:
I actually just went with the stock + rom. I think I will just use this one until its confirmed that CM has fixed the blue tooth bugs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffkro:
Ok the stock + rom goes through batteries in about half the time of cm7 or bugless. I really need an aosp rom without this bug. Is their one yet that doesn't require additional steps to fix.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
In a nut shell, it's kernel based. The newest stock cm-kernel, (and incredikernel, once I pointed tiny in the right direction), has it fixed, so grab the latest nightly or flash the latest incredikernel. This has been fixed for 2-3 days officially, and I had an unofficial patched kernel out about 11 days ago.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omarpr:
Hi guys:

I have this phone from about 10 months ago. I have always it rooted and with CyanogenMod, actually with CM7.

Today I was using my browser, and then it closed, the phone begin giving me a lot of errors, any application worked and I decided to reset it, because sometimes that work.

For my surprise, when I reseted it, It was bootlooping, It start booting (cyanogen logo doing circles), then freezes and then reset.

I know how to work with this problems and I reseted it on recovery and when I entered to the recovery everything seems to be fine, but I only see the menu, when I try to install zip from sd card, go to mount & stored, go to clear cache, or enable USB the screen just get empty but its ON.

Im very frustrated, I don't know how to proceed in this situation, I have looked in the Troubleshooting thread but have not found anything that worked for me with boot looping.

I hope someone can help me, sorry for my english, it's not my main language.

[Galaxy S II General] ayosopov:
Hi,When I use my phone for finding my location without using data connectivity - without relying on A-GPS so my phone finds my location after a lot of time or sometimes google maps can't find my location.

How can I solve this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
After day or so it won't get fix at all. Samsung just did something wrong I'm afraid. Looks like the GPS in SG2 NEEDS data to work. I found the hard way on my trip to Japan. I know no solution.
[Galaxy S II General] ayosopov:
So I cant change my gps settings?
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
GPS in the S2 is weird. Some days it locks in seconds other times it takes forever. I never use A-GPS.

Today I couldn't get it to lock but last night it was instant. So I restored a CWM backup from last night, rebooted and it locked instantly.

I played around with MIUI for a couple of days and found lock time much better than stock or custom rom.

Also, changing server with fasterfix makes no difference when its having problems locking.

I just don't get it.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
GPS Aids in Market. It will take a bit of time on first lock but from then it will be fast.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
How do you 'never use AGPS' ? Btw. my problem is not time of the lock. But the fact, that without network, I don't get fix AT ALL. With network AGPS reset helps (many apps can do that). But without network GPS works only for some time (AGPS data still valid). After that you just won't get fix. It even looks like wifi connection won't help, it has to be mobile network.
[Galaxy S II General] ayosopov:
It's because of crappy gps reciever or it can be improved by another rom?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
It seems the problem is that GPS is in mode, where it simply relies on AGPS. In older ROMs there was app called LBSTestMode where you could change the mode to stand alone, or just AGPS based. This application is not in newer ROMs, so it cannot be switched. It clearly is just a software thing. Except it looks that there is no solution which does not involve flashing roms and/or rooting.
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Yeah I never use it. I don't tick 'use wireless networks' at all. To me that's fake GPS.

Since my last post, GPS has been perfect. Am able to lock up to 11 satellites sitting on the couch. On average it takes about 10 seconds to lock. Tested it at least 20 times today.

But who knows what will happen tomorrow!!!

Man, if you can only get a lock using wireless networks then I think your GPS might be stuffed.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
That does not mean you don't use AGPS. AGPS is method, where data about GPS satellites are not downloaded from those satellites via GPS receiver, but rather from server via. mobile network. So I'm afraid you do use AGPS, unless you disable mobile networking (and wait about day for current data to become obsolete).
[Galaxy S II General] 3waygeek:
One thing I've noticed is that when I run Z-DeviceTest and bring up the GPS status display, it shows that none of the satellites have almanac data, and very rarely have ephemeris data. If that's accurate, that would suggest that if you've turned off AGPS and mobile networking, you could have some trouble.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Nice find. First app I know which shows this. Now I can test if that almanac is downloading via GPS satellites or not.
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Ok. So does that would mean it's impossible to get a GPS lock without data enabled? Or just harder to?

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned AGPS, but instead wireless networks which show your position even though GPS is not locked.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
It seems it may vary with ROM, and it is possible to switch it, at least older ROMs contain service menu module (LbsTestMode) to switch it. But my SG2 seems to be unable to get a fix without network. It simply does not even try do download Almanac or Ephemerides data from the satellites.

Also for AGPS, mobile network must be used, not WiFi. As I understand it, those AGPS server names are virtual, and network provider redirects them based on location .. which is not possible via WiFi.

I wonder WHY there is such option at all. Do mobile network providers want us to be unable to get a fix without them ?
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
Hey Dr, I think you have diagnosed my problem :)

Every so often I turn off data and use only wifi. One day my GPS locks in seconds then the next it takes forever.

So I have now tested it a couple of times over the last couple of days, when I can't get a lock I turn off wifi and turn on data. All of a sudden GPS locks again. Interesting!!

Hopefully that is it. Will test again the next time it won't lock.
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Ha ! Breakthrough. I could get a fix without network ! But ..

I used newer version of 'GPS Status' app. It shows state of unconnected satellites with gray/blue/yellow based on how much data it has - none/almanac/ephemerides. So you can see if there is some progress or not.

So I disabled network (both wifi and mobile), disabled location from mobile network, left just GPS on .. run GPS status and used 'Reset AGPS'.

The connection has few 'phases':

1) you get signals from satellites .. you see it in power meter .. all are gray .. and their dots on the 'sky' view are all in the N. Sure, GPS does not know where the satellites are, and does not know where you are .. so it can't know where on the 'sky' they should show.

2) Some signals/dots turn blue. That means you have almanac data. Rough position of all satellites, which is transmitted by all satellites. That already means your GPS receiver was used to download some data from the satellites. Based on this, GPS can tell very roughly where you are, and will paint dots on the skyview.

3) Some signals/dots turn yellow. That means you successfully downloaded ephemerides data from that satellite, and it can be used in fix. Have enough of them, and you are done.

4) Some signals/dots turn green - you have fix. The error will get better over time as more satellites are used.

I took me over 5 minutes .. but thanks to this tool I could see I'm indeed receiving some data and there is some progress. Also it only worked outside, under open skies. I tried that in a car, in a bus, in a train .. after 10 minutes I did not get over phase 1. With AGPS I get fix in all such situations in few seconds.

It just looks like the data decoding module for almanac/ephemerides is not the same as for the time (which is used in fix itself). While time channel is quite sensitive and fine, data channel seems to have troubles with even slightest disturbances.

Still I'm happy I made it work in the end !

Btw. the fact that AGPS does not work over WiFi still holds.
[Galaxy S II General] rafeba:
try fasterfix from market
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
I rarely have the data connection on (just to save battery) and WiFi is only on where I know I have a known connection - thus it is off when outside.

I put on the GPS then immediately run Sygic satnav program. I will have a fix normally within 30 seconds and a worst case of about a minute (that I can remember).

I have just tried switching off and on my phone, putting on the GPS (from the Pull down menu) and run Sygic. From switching on the GPS, I had a lock in about a minute.

KI3 Stock ROM
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Sid:
Could you try that with AGPS manually reset ? I recommend 'GPS Status' tool to do it, it's in 'tools' menu.
[Galaxy S II General] pw120:
GPS lock time seems much improved in KJ4 firmware for me (i'm on orange 2.3.5)

all three DOP values in GPS Status now show figures (instead of infinity for two of them), and i'm getting reported accuracies of around 5 metres, instead of 14 - 20 metres on the older firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
I downloaded the app you suggested. I switched off the Data WiFi connection, disabled the GPS and reset the AGPS. I switched off the phone.

I went out of work 10 minutes later (well I was finished for the day). I waited till I was outside with a reasonable amount of view of the sky (I didn't want the buildings to affect the test). I switched on the phone and run the downloaded program. It opened tot he option of switching on the GPS or Data Connection. I switched on only the GPS. 33 seconds later it started to pick up satellites. By 46 seconds it had a location. There was a fix on 6 out of 12 satellites when it made the location.

I have a Europe Stock ROM KF3 with an KI3 Kernel update.

GPS Fix/Lock Time

For what it's worth, I have discovered that if I put my Galaxy SII in Flight Mode, it is much much quicker to get a GPS fix and what's more if I then turn Flight Mode Off it will continue to maintain the lock onto the satellites used.

I don't know why.
