is there a way to get bootstrap on your phone off the sd card?i was running cm7 and it just stopped and now all i get is the factory boot screen
is there a key combo to boot into boot strap?
or the d3 factory rom flash out there?
i have all the full programs ECT..
but this is my 5th phone and i doubt Verizon will give me another one 
and all i get is the start screen loop, and X-power for boot.
any one help please. i am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but i am out of tricks.
thanks Rick Alpastormace@gmail:disqus .com

Which means you’ll no longer have root. Without root you can’t run the bootstrap to access your nandroid backup. Just a word of advice if you want to keep root NEVER accept an OTA until it has been looked at by devs. In most cases there is a rooted version available of the OTA within a very short time. Then you can flash that in clockwork and have the latest firmware with root.

This is the first step in creating the ability to run Custom ROMs on the Droid 3.  And I agree somewhat with your point in that the average user may find this somewhat boring.  But, as a developer, I like having an easy way back to my previous state.  I actually use my real phone for development so having a working restore is key.

The main issue is to determine how the Droid 3 community of developers wants to proceed and load their custom init files for their ROMs.  Once that’s been determined, I’ll configure the Bootstrap to support as many of them as feasibly possible.

For starters, the next version of the Bootstrap will support default update.zip extraction method that Cyanogenmod uses.
