[Motorola Droid Bionic] mrbeav:
getting the phone up and runen

ok, i got as far as calls, wifi sms etc but no 3g yet, but i'll share with ya what i got off the forum here to at least get ya a little further

and i'm on eclipse .902

ok, if you start fresh, do a wipe, meaning clear cache, then do a full wipe, flash with rsd lite either stock .902 or eclipse .902

frankly, i love eclipse and couldn't go to stock again, just hate stock, bloat etc

now i am using a 3g sim card from verizon, i also have a 4g blank from verizon, what got me into this was i had my phone flashed by beigephone and they did a good job, just everything was stock, i don't want stock or bloatware, no root, and they used a 3g sim card to get the data going, that's where i'm at, with my situation, don't know what exactly they did to get it up and runnen, and i've tried all the tutorials etc on here, i'll get it eventually, but back to you,

i'm sayen grab a 3g sim card, i use cdma-ware workshop full version, yes, it's a hundred bucks, nothing against demo apps and i'm sure they are fine, but i'm all in on this stuff so i bought cdma but have used dfs and from what i can tell, their demo works fine to get things going also, what all the limits are i don't know, at least with cdma, full version, i know if i don't have something working, IT IS MY FAULT :)

ok, so if you can turn your phone sideways, tap the corners of the screen, you should be able to get the wifi going, grab bootstrap, get the phone rooted, one click did mine, sometimes motofail does it on certain releases sometimes it don't, and same with one click, found a file oneclick for windows that did it fine, plus grab root check from play, ok, after yer rooted and verified set yer phone to usb debug, unknown sources, boot into recovery (bp tools) hold both vol and power during all this i have my 3g sim in, now before this you plug yer phone in and copy whatever rom ya want to yer sd card, bootstrap the full version i got takes a couple reboots helps ya auto reboot and load yer rom, you probably already got this far, so after all this and yer loaded up root yer phone again, load cdma up or dfs, i'll go from cdma that's the one i know really, from bp tools ya connect via workshop and read the phone, then under other spc send six zeros, that unlocks, go back to main tab, bottom make sure cdma enter yer phone data yer min and dir etc are yer number 1234567890 cdma2 nv ruim only, load yer prl for all this read and write to nam 1 and 2 they do both in cdma just maken sure, disconnect reboot, now, the evdo settings, you can search the forum here on how to get yer data, coz i don't have it yet, and have tried darn near everything, i'll get it tho, ok when phone reboots star pound 4636 star pound choose cdma auto prl allow dns exit make sure radio is on, at this go to ##program activation enter your SID, mine is 32, have to find what yers is, there's links on here about the different settings in ##program but basically yer phone at this point should be able to make a call, check voice mail and sms etc i ain't good at explainen exactly but have done this few times and have always gotten the phone solid just no 3g yet if ya need help further skype: allen-sec or yahoo: allensecz, or message me i'll give ya my number

the bionic is the first and only phone i've done so far, and loving this stuff, just to be able to help folks get out of expensive contracts with nice phones, i mean i'm on pp and pay less than half a month as a lot of contracts, so anyway, hope this helps sincerely mrbeav
