I am thinking about running the MIUI room that just recently came out on ROM manager, but I don't want to flash it if I cannot get back to stock and not receive the GB update when it comes.
Is there a reliable way to get back to stock yet? I have tried making a backup of my current state but every time that I do my X2 restarts...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes you can get back to 100% stock.. There is a flashable SBF that does it.

I don't think MIUI is available for the X2. Check the X2 development forums. The SBF thread in particular. The answer yo your questions are there.

I think the naming conventions of Droid's has caused a lot of confusion. Many things have been released for the Droid X and the Droid 2 at the same time, leading people to post about updates to the Droid X/2, which in fact is not the Droid X2.
I know MIUI is available, it is on ROM manager on my X2. And I found out about the imminent GB update on the X2 general forum.
So unless there are a lot more people than me "confused" by the names of Motorolas Phones, than I think it is probably true that GB will be here as a 2.3.4 build soon enough. I think that is why not much development has been done on this phone, why develop on Froyo when GB comes out so soon?

I haven't heard of any X2 owner using ROM Manager. A far as I can tell, to date, there are only derivatives of that chinese ROM floating around. I would research more before you flash whatever you see in ROM Manager. Unless you are skilled enough to un-brick your phone.
But hey... Let me know how that works out for you.

I will see what the DEV part of the forum says, but I will probably try to flash it tonight.
I will let you know how it goes.
Rom manager its probably seeing your phone as the atrix. You don't want to download a rom for the atrix, it will not work and you will be forced to sbf back to stock. There is currently only one rom fire the x2 and at least 3 others in the works.

Miui is most definitely not out for the x2.... but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try since you can easily unbrick

Yeah, it didn't work. Reflashed to stock. At least I tried I guess. I cannot wait until GB comes out on this thing. I wanna play with some roms and customize this thing.

Yeah I downloaded it from ROM manager and tried flashing it. It got about 2/3 of the way through the install and rebooted.
Had to go back to stock. A slightly annoying process, but i figured I may as well try and let the community know the results.

Hello, I've rooted my ota Gingerbread x2 with "Petes motorola rooting tools" but would l ike to overclock. The stock droid x2 kernal does not seem to allow overclocking. IS there a kernal available for this?
Steve
Because of the locked bootloader there are no 3rd party kernels available.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
As BrianKLV said, the bootloader is locked. Until that is unlocked we won't get any over-clocking done. The best thing you can do right now is run the SuperCharger scripts as far as helping performance.
How do we still get these kinds of questions? It's silly...

It's actually not that silly. I was wondering the same thing because I had the Droid X and was able to overclock it and it had a locked bootloader. So one would think, that if it can be done with the Droid X then overclocking should be able to be done with the Droid X 2.
From what I've read, overclocking can be done with 2nd-init, But it took the DX almost a year to get there, so the DX2 might be a little faster but it's still too soon to expect any results.
It's all got to do with the most important resource any of these phones have : independent development by creative people.

Ha! Whoops, I should have check my spelling. I really made myself look like a dumb ass.
I meant I had a Droid X and it did not need unlocked bootloader or 2nd init to overclock. I use to use jrummys overclocking app long before 2nd init even came out for the X.
So that being the case its possible that our X2s may be able to still be overclocked. It may just take some waiting. Hopefully its sooner than later.

The X had a Dev phone version that was unlocked. Because of this the community had access to many files that otherwise would be unaccessible. With these they were able to create kernel modules that allowed overclocking even with a locked boot loader.
Unfortunately there are no X2 Dev phones in the wild. No Dev phone = no files, no files = no way to create a overclocking module, hence no way to currently overclock the X2.
Our only hope is a unlocked bootloader or a module based off the atrix kernel, unfortunately the people who are in the know don't really seem interested in trying. To busy with 4G phones lol.

Not true.
Not to be rude, but when I didn't have experience I read. It would have taken about 30 seconds of searching on google to find out that the X2 cannot be overclocked and why, probably less time than it took to create this thread.
Laziness, pure and simple.
When I have an issue I read. I was just putting out what I knew. Which wasn't the correct answer and Someone with more knowledge corrected me. Which taught me something new that I was unaware of and I appreciated.
So I hope you were talking about the person that created the original post, not me.
Speaking for the original poster. If you don't have anything constructive to add to the tread, you should avoid being an ass and shut your mouth. We have all been there in the beginning when experimenting and trying to find info. There is alot of info and reading to due, so it is also easy to miss something or not understand correctly.
So your post is a pointless waste of time and added absolutely nothing constructive.
I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.
So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.
Thx in advance.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.
Oh, btw, wrong forum.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Xodus is correct.
We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).

Ya well even though we aren't unlocked...it would seem that some sort of autorun sequence for the two commands in the dx2 bootstrap could be programmed to run one after the other in the background at the push of a button on that menu. But it couldn't really be that simple -_-

Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....

Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.

ya XOdus...with nitro and masta being basically the only two devs for the dx2 I figured I'd just throw this out there and hopefully someone reads it. If i were savoy with making roms I'd be all over it, but hopefully just my train of thought may help someone with their endeavors in making their rom worth while. Nitro put our bootstrapper in his "eclipse parts" so I would imagine he might be interested in advancing farther.
We have it on the bionic. We're locked plus have to use a bootstrap. Ask around in that forum....

Overview:
This is basically a ROM I made when I was bored.
It is based off of Pepperm1nt's [ROM][GB 2.3.4]GingerBread Phone 7 v0.4
I replaced some of the apps with MIUI apps such as
MIUI launcher
MIUI Music
MIUI Browser
I am not sure this ROM will work or flash so flash at your own risk
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. Use at your own discretion
How to install
Must be on 2.3.4 NOT 2.3.5
Install bootstrap
Reboot into bootstrap recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash this ROM

I appreciate all development for this phone but have to admit this is a first for me to see The OP even states not sure if this will work lol.

I dont mind doing a sbf. Did plenty when I was getting to eclipse 2.02 when I had root keeper on my phone I do not mean to bash anyone it is just weird the OP says he is not sure if it will work. Also the title I thought was a little misleading thought this was a MIUI rom.
Seems odd to complain about someone cooking up a new option for a phone with so little support. Regardless of the nature of that option, or what you experienced on another phones dev thread.
Thanks Jay, though I wont be using your work its nice to see people working with the x2. And incorporating miui apps / miui lookalike apps is a neat idea for miui fans who can't flash it due to a pesky locked bootloader.
And, I know none of you fine folks intended to come off as ungrateful or complainy (its my word don't steal it ). Its easy for things to be misinterpreted, between thinking about what you want to post, posting, and someone else reading your post with none of the vocal expression you had in mind.

If it is still available, nitroglycerine33 needs one. Maybe he will update Eclipse if he has one.
if it's still available?
I'm a Computer Engineer who has mainly done desktop and server development and did some mobile development on Windows CE / PocketPC back in 2000, I've had PDAs and cell phones for years but bought my first 'smartphone' around 2006 that ran Windows Mobile 5. In January 2012, I got my first Android phone which was an X2. I choose an Android device over a Windows or Apple device because it was the cheapest way to get into mobile development (free development tools, no annual fees, etc.). Since I had to stop working in 2008 due to bulging disk, I've been wanting to start developing on the mobile platform some of the ideas that have come to my mind. So, I say all that to let you know that although I am not currently an experienced developer on the mobile platform, it's been my intention to since I stopped working. And although I already have an X2, I'd rather not use my 'everyday' phone as my development phone. So, if the offer still is valid, I'd be grateful for taking advantage of your gracious offer.
Mine's still working stronger than ever, but it would be nice/faster to have a device that I could test my CM10.1 ROM on without losing all my data on my phone.
If someone like DZK, or the dev of Eclipse doesn't take it, and you're willing to, I can put it to use for my 4.2.2 ROM instead of having to wipe mine all the time.
