I have to say this this is absolutely the best guide to get this phone rooted and customised. Got my Bionic on Monday and after a little bit of light reading on these forums I now have a rooted stock system and with Safestrap I have a system that I can mess around with.

Thank you. Thank you, you are the man. I had rooted my bionic right after getting it in September 2011, but then with the automatic updates, I lost root and was unable to get it back. This guide worked perfectly!

Nice guide... very easy to follow!
I'm curious what happens if I follow this and I'm on .896. I'm already rooted, but nothing like roms, themes or mods have been installed.
Any objection with me making a video tutorial following all these steps?

Is it good to do a factory reset before doing a root? Or any other tips or suggestions before starting?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
Pretty sure when you do this it will wipe you phone so factory reset eould be a wasteof time

No need for a factory reset.

You shouldn't reset anything before you begin. This method will create a backup of your stock system using SafeStrap. You can always return to your original setup using SafeStrap. Just reverse the toggle setting for Safe system (step 21). The wipe in step 22 is all you'll need.
I'd recommend reading a little about how SafeStrap works if you're feeling uncertain. There's a link to the Safestrap website in the "Credits" section of the OP.

I'm using [H]on3yScr3am: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10340-tpax-hon3yscr3am/ (Props to MasturMynd).
I'm not sure its technically built for 901, but its working fine for me and looks awesome. Basic steps to installing are 1)Download .zip to SD-card 2)Backup (step 20 in OP) 3)Install .zip in Safestrap (steps 23 and 24 in OP). Wipe shouldn't be necessary for this theme, it is built into the script.
Always backup before you do anything.
Other themes ("Tpax") for Kin3tix are here: http://rootzwiki.com/forum/264-th3oryrom/
When I get some time I'll break this down further and add to OP.
K cool. Not to sound like complete dumbfounded noob but does it matter which we backup to? Meaning the internal sd and external sd?

When it comes to the .901 file, the file reads Blur_Verzion.5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip
The file name makes it look like the one pre .901. Can you confirm the file is correct and just named wrong? With MegaUpload gone, I'm not sure the MediaFire link is correct. I'm looking for another source for .901, but in case I don't find it....

Motorola names their updates based on the filesystem they are REPLACING. So yes, this is correct. I did my homework before I wrote this up, promise
Thank you. I appreciate that. Seemed odd, but was thinking that exact thing. Running a backup with Bootstrap first, then will install this and move on to test out some ROM's.
Has anyone made progress with unlocking the bootloader? I just got the Bionic a few weeks ago. Sure isn't like the Xoom when it comes to customization.
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent guide. I'm now running the ROM w/ the HON3YSCR3AM mod. It's really cool. Apparently there's been some issues between the dev's who made some of this though.
I really hate that there is so little out there for the Bionic. Hoping the bootloader can be unlocked so we can see some real developments come about. I like Moto phone's, but will avoid anything with a locked bootloader in the future.
I followed the steps verbatim. I could have sworn that last night I was on 901 and now it shows me on. 893. Should I run the update again or what should I do? Eclipse is running.
I also am getting the default tether or mobile hotspot notification when I run wifi tether... Is there a fix for this?
I also usually run the application Klink by faveset and since the root it will not recognize my phone when I hook up the usb.
Any ideas.

Just explained in the several post above you but since you missed it. You are on 901 but for some reason when you flash a 901 compatible rom it'll say 893 in phone info. But if you had just did the update and boot up your phone before flashing a rom it would've verified you are actually on 901. Weird I know. I did this this morning cause I was worried too that I wasn't on 901.
Perfect thanks!

Here's an easy way to see if your rooted, go into your apps and see if you have an app called superuser. If you do, then you are rooted but if not then you are not. As for the rom I'm not sure as to what rom you have I'm not sure.

Read this guide over, it will explain how to install a custom rom, which is basically ( in very simplified terms) just a new very advanced theme that replaces the old stock one that comes with the phone. That link can tell you everything you need to know. Just be REALLY careful! the first time I tried to install a new rom my phone got messed up and i couldn't use it for three days. But anyways, have fun and welcome to the site!

Here's the link http://www.phoenix-hq.com/ to the site with the downloads from everything from the Rom to Themes for the Rom to wallpapers.

sorry for a dumb question, but I'm coming from Eris-land where custom ROMs required root.
Does Revolt require root ? or just boot with vol-down ?

VS910 4G [Revolt 1.5]
If you have trouble rooting after the downgrade to V4, download superoneclick root version 1.7 which has the rageagainsthecage exploit that you can use to root. The newer versions do not have this exploit, because it causes antivirus software flags. However the most recent version was unable to root my phone after the downgrade.
Make sure you disable ALL antivirus software, and run the superoneclick program as administrator

Good call, I completely forgot to mention the downgrade and superoneclick... I used 1.7 to root with hardly any trouble, I had to run it twice because it tends to hang halfway through the first attempt (i had the same problem before the update) but I got root the second time around with no issues.
[Don't forget to calibrate your battery, not doing this seems to be the cause of a lot of warranty replacements lately.]

You'll love it!! Revolt is awesome. Granted...I only had the phone for two hours before it was rooted/CWM/Revolt...but it only took that long to get sick of the stock interface.

So this update patch does the radio hack without using radiocomm?
I thought half the fun was knowing you might brick your phone the process lol
This may work with the modified safestrap 1.08f as it allows you to flash to the non-safe system. Just a thought.

You could verify whether the unpatch works, & if it does you could repatch. I highly doubt it will work though.
Safestrap won't perform this update properly because it doesn't have the motorola.update_nv() function in its updater handling; however, it wouldn't be very hard to incorporate. (If you extract the updater-script from this .zip file and open it up in a text editor, you'll see what I mean.)
I'm hoping to bust out another release fixing a few more bugs, I'll see if I can squeeze this in there too. I don't have an XT862 to test this on unfortunately but any guinea pigs who want to help me test it out are more than welcome to PM me.

I think he posted this as an idea, since it worked on another device, without verifying it worked on the Droid 3, then prematurely posted it to the other threads telling folks the other methods were not needed. There are at least two confirmed instances where it does not work on the Droid 3.
I am sticking with the radiocomm method.

I don't think many people are going to try and look for a new root method. Its been stated a thousand times on here how to RETAIN root. If you didn't follow those directions then you're not gonna find much sympathy.

Edit: My bad. You are using verizon g2.
Download this lollipop latest stock from here : http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Verizon/Lollipop/
Then follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 , follow KDZ method to get it done.
Once you are on lollipop, Root again, install recovery using autorec ( if you happen to find an unresponsive button , lmk) and make a nandroid backup, then flash cm on it.
Lmk if you need further assistance.

Install TWRP first . Then make a nandroid backup in case you ever need to go back the current state ( u dont wanna screw things up and do kdz all the way upto this) . Then download cm13, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache , do not wipe internal storage.
Thats it.

I get an error when flashing gapps and it says gapps install failed. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the right ones from here: http://opengapps.org/
I am selecting ARM, 5.0, and Full.

Hi,
Yes. Because cm13 is android marshmallow. You have to select arm, 6, full.

Exactly why I was nervous doing this. Thank God for Nandroid's though! Thank you again for all of your help! I am now on CM13 and everything seems to be running great.
