Boot menu

[pappy53]

Just bought a used Bionic. VZW sent me a new sim card. When I boot it up, the images shown is what pops up. I have never seen this before on any phone. If I hit "search" to continue, it goes to welcome screen. Then when I touch Android to begin, it says to insert sim card, which is already inserted. If I hit "menu" to go to recovery, and in recovery I select "wipe data/factory reset", It does it's thing, and I'm right back to square one. Any suggestions?

That is the safe strap boot loader you are in possession of a rooted bionic. I would either learn about root or if you want flash back to stock using rsd

How do I do that?
Step by step, hopefully?

Do which?

If you're not interested in using safestrap, I believe you can disable it from the advanced menu. Use the volume buttons to go up and down, then the power button to select an option.

I did the RSD thing. It was still on version 5.5.886. After RSD. it installed 5.5.893 and 5.5.902. All is good now.
