This is Great News!!! We have a root before the phone is released.. Just hoping that they can unlock it soon also.

Rooted: Able to be the root user of the system and access low level files.

Locked bootloader: Checks to see if what you are trying to flash is signed by Motorola.

Unlocked does not check so we can flash unsigned ROMs.

Being rooted is a step toward good things, but you need to be unlocked or have away around the bootloader to do things like CM7.

now that Bionic is rooted what is its chance of getting unlocked anytime soon??

from what ive seen(which is very little), it seems to be full of bloat ware.
like it has only 700 free memory. (i think SGSII has 900 free memory)

Nice work, I can remove bloatware day one!

As if I had any doubt. And, as if I need yet ONE MORE REASON to obtain the beast on release day! mwahahahaha

Yup - I've managed to get mine ot last almost fully intact so I'm stoked about the new phone. Next will (probably) be the Prime for me, but I need a new phone now, and later on I will just want a new phone.

Nothing to be ashamed about. I moved from the Samsung Alias (original, black) to the DROID, so....

This jump will not really be as huge as my previous jump - that was from show off Alias dump phone to the Moto DROID...

in terms of specs, well, that will always be a catastrophic jump lol - the hardware specs on these phones change faster than the wind can change direction!

Sigh. Hi, my name is Pru and I owned a pink Razr before my OG Droid. And don't even get me started with my phones before THAT. In my defense, in those days we had no choice, no Android. Yay Android!

 

[Mahalo]

Just called my local store, made an appointment to pick up my Bionic at 9AM on Thursday. I told Dean (Salesman at VZW) it is gonna be a hard sale... I still love my HTC Incredible but he said I Won't be disappointed.

 

[trophynuts]

guys i hate to rain on your parade but i would NOT root this device until you have a safe recovery method in case you brick it. ...ie a clokwork recovery for this phone is needed so you can do backup and restores. Also an SBF file to pull you out of Brick doom would be good too.

 

[MtnbikerChk]

I already miss my superuser apps cachemate, adblock, tibu.....

 

[William T Riker]

The one click exploit worked fine for me. It did three steps and it was rooted, adfree, titanium and setcpu working fine that I tested.

 

[a4udi98]

are you having any problems with the market? did you flash a ROM? on my DROID X w/OTA gingerbread that I rooted this way and then flashed with Apex the market kept giving me an error when trying to download a paid app.

 

[William T Riker]

No problems with the market here. As others have said don't even bother trying to flash a rom since there's no recovery yet

 

[a4udi98]

true. good point. Just rooted on osx. I rooted my old droid x, but that was a few days ago and im still fairly new to it all.

Any luck with overclocking?

 

[William T Riker]

No kernels so no oc, but you can use setcpu for profiles like screen off etc.

[William T Riker]

Yup, that's it. Just extract, make sure the drivers are installed and USB debugging is turned on, and set to charge only when you plug it in. Run it and you're rooted very simple prob took 3 minutes.

I saw you said you were having random lockups

any chance root (or root apps) causing it?

 

[William T Riker]

Pretty sure my issue was launcherpro or card related. For some reason it doesn't set to default like on my original droid. Haven't had any problems recently or need to reboot since it seems stable.
