Haven't heard such great news in a while! (And I don't even need it, I've got a replacement coming.) No need to worry about being able to return to stock after flashing other ROMs, etc anymore. Truly Awesome!

Greygifford, if you set up a donation of some sort for yourself, I think I could pass a few bucks your way for your troubles.

Now how do plan to root it since you're up to gingerbread now?

 

[chasehammer]

you can root using the Droid 3 One-Click method.
http://rootandroid.net/how-to-root-motorola-droid-3-in-one-click/

Simple:
Put phone with Debugging ON
download the One-Click files
plug phone up to usb, put in PC Mode
run MotorolaOneClick.exe
it detects your phone and runs it without you doing a thing
i can verify it works as i just did it

I got it running on my phone as well. Thanks Greygifford.

I just wished they updated the SW stuff. The lockscreen unlockers are still the Froyo grey. Looks a little out of place to me

SWEET! Glad I could help out. No need for donations, I needed the file anyway. I've got to keep my phone as is until 6:00 tonight, then I am pulling out RSD and hooking my R2 up. Chasehammer, thanks for being the beta tester and pointing me to the guy that had the file.

I am flashing mine now. THANKS for stepping up. I was on the fence about it. I am glad the posts with the name were still out there kicking around. Who'd have guessed it was out there and nobody knew. So many people had to flash to Droid2 because there was no SBF for the R2D2 known. Really glad to hear it's working for people too!

Bought the file this morning. Current link provided by drkcobra is ADrive | 50GB Free Online Storage, Online Backup, Cloud Storage
Get it while you can. I haven't tested it yet so use at your own risk.

chasehammer, any chance you could post a copy of the original Blockbuster.apk somewhere? I accidentally deleted it from my phone.

 

[greygifford]

New multiupload link for the SBF. The other link came from drkcobra and he could remove it at any time.

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!http://www.multiupload.com/8XGQBDG3GV

Enjoy the freedom this can bring. Now you can root and flash roms all day and still be able to restore your droid.

 

[phillipliving]

the download comes as a .rar can you just flash that over like that or is that the wrong file?

 

[chasehammer]

peterdoctor: try the apk from here, Droid X Default Applications - ChadHaney.com



phillipliving:you have to use winrar to unpack the .rar there is a .sbf file compressed into the .rar

Yeah the SBF is 400+ megs where the RAR is only 270+. Saves bandwidth and helps protect the file from corruption.
