How to flash AvatarROM on Droid Bionic

  1. The phone and your laptop have to establish a connection, so use the USB cord of the first to make that possible, then move the packages to the SD card root of the smartphone.
  2. Unplug the devices, power the Droid Bionic off, enter it in Recovery Mode and operate several wiping actions; to boot the phone into the Recovery Mode:
    – press + hold, together, Volume Down + Power;
    – wait for the mode to appear.
  3. Coming back to those wiping actions:
    – choose Factory Reset/Wipe Data;
    – confirm it with “Yes“;
    – opt for Wipe Cache Partition when you’re in the phone’s Recovery Menu;
    – choose Wipe Dalvik Cache.
  4. Choose these options next: “Install zip from SD card” and afterwards “Choose zip from SD card“. Using “Power”, make sure to opt for the AvatarRom .zip archive file from before; the flashing of this file has to be confirmed, so do it and after that have patience until the smartphone is installed with this tool.
  5. Repeat the actions that helped the file from before be featured on the handset; this time around, opt for that Google Apps package.
  6. This has been everything you had to do to land those two packages on the Droid Bionic XT875. Return to the device’s Recovery Main Menu.
  7. When you’ve landed in that spot, do as follows: opt for the phone’s restarting. After your phone has booted into the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean AvatarROM build 3.1, you’re all good. To verify on the new firmware, you need to go to the “About Phone” from your handset’s “Settings”.
