- Start date
awesome
get right on checking it out Chevy...awesome man. O kChevy I went directly to your site,followed instructions to a tee and re-downloaded the 4.5.
Smooth as silk and worked like a charm!! Still having bluetooth recognition errors with PICCO for some reason? On the bright side as I posted prior I have found a work a around that does work well.(the free version of hands-free works as well but the robo-voice is nerve grating)
Google market : Hands-Free voice Dialer:CD+ 4.99 I think?
Google Market : SVOX CLASSIC & (VOICE OF YOUR CHOICE) 1.75 per voice I think?
After downloaded the Hands-Free voice Dialer:CD+ I downloaded the SVOX CLASSIC & (VOICE OF CHOICE, Grace) then had to go into phones speech recognition settings in setting tab. Change over all recognitions from PICCO to SVOX. Then all set..
Thanx Chevy man.. great OS hope its ok I added the work arounds on here? Nothing is anything I have any credit for, Just things I found trail and error when my blue tooth wouldnt work correctly. I also noticed my yahoo video stopped working corectly but I switched over to skype video.

Huge Problem...
First of all let me introduce myself to the fourm... Name is Colton (probably evident per the username) and I have been stalking this thread for quite some time now. I have owned the Droid 1,2 and now the Droid 3. (will never get the droid 4 because of the non-removable battery, I thought apple was the only one who screwed their customers???) Anyway, I had installed the SD 4.5 on a D3 before and had it stable, absolutely loved it! Cannot be without it, but now I am...
I am not sure what I may have done wrong here but I will list some possibilities, I am not a full noob when it comes to this although this is my first phone to custom beyond rooting and overclocking. I had SD4.5 Running on a D3, Flashed back with RSD Lite so I could warranty replace it due to headphone jack issues, got the replacement, tried flashing, PROBLEMS! Got it back with RSD Lite but kept boot-looping even after flashing back to the OTA listed on post#1.
Now, after replacing that phone (blaming the looping issue on them) I have another D3.
I had to battery pull after 15 min wait (said to be normal, first phone was the same way)
Booted up to the familiar SD, received multiple FC issues????
Now the phone, even after flashing back to 5.6.890 SBF and going back to the nandroid backup I made after rooting only the phone will randomly reboot, sometimes boot-looping... Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot stand not having Steel Droid installed and it get embarrassing going to show a picture to a friend then the phone randomly reboots.
Thank you!
Colton

Code:
- I have Rom Manager AND Droid3Bootstrapper installed (possible problem?)
- Flashed using 5.6.890 SBF
- I rooted with Petes Tool (thanks to him for the ease of use!)
- Installed D3 Bootstrapper and copied zips to internal sd
- Rebooted recovery and did 'Factory Data Reset' + all the wipe options on the first menu
- installed SD 4500 zip
- rebootedI had to battery pull after 15 min wait (said to be normal, first phone was the same way)

Welcome to the forum! When u get boot loop after sbf, boot into factory recovery by first pulling the battery, while phone is off hold down the z key and the power button till u see the little android guy. Press both volume buttons and the recovery should pop up. Choose factory data reset then reboot phone. Let it fully boot then settle for about 15 minutes. Root the phone then download and install safestrap from the OP on page one. Run safestrap, allow superuser then install recovery and reboot phone. After the motorola logo the safestrap will show up, press the menu soft key on front of phone and it will boot into CWM recovery scroll down to safe system choose it by pressing the search key choose toggle safe mode then choose yes it will back up your system and enable safe mode. choose go back then do the factory data reset, clear cache, and delvik cache then flash as u normally would. After successful flash reboot phone and let it fully boot and settle for about 15 minutes then u should be ok. Hope this helps and remember; getting mad or upset just makes it harder to do something.
