Hi
I successfully sbf back to stock froyo and just gingerbreak 1.2 and motodx_bootstrap_signed. and then proceeded to add sdcard from zip in bootstrap mode and got upgraded to gb pre rooted with p3droids zip file. heres where i messed up I went to the themes section in xda droidx2 forums and tried to add fukenblack theme it didnt work so i tried to add the stock framework on the post still just boot loop . now when i try to sbf back to froyo i get an rsdlite "error validating files" and ive redownloaded the just in case . any help would be appreciated otherwise i got to wait till the upgrades offered here and say it happened from that
love these communities

First of all, that theme hasn't been ported to GB yet. I made the same mistake, however I was at work and my work computer doesn't allow me to download the tools I needed to SBF etc... I didn't try to revert back to the default with that one download he included, I just started from scratch SBFing back to Froyo and doing it all over again.
If you get that error use 7zip to unpack the sbf file

yeah i cant do the sbf to froyo thats when i get error validating files. i just tried to do the update.zip again and p3droids or verizons both give me an error 7 something about dialer.apk. the loop i get is the droid noise and word looping continuously. hope they release the update here soon so i can call and say it screwed up my phone
thanks for the reply though if anyone else has any ideas id love to try them

You can't do the update until after you successfully sbf, once you get that working start all over

I posted the other day that with my OTA Gingerbread update kept crashing my android when I plugged it into the dock so from advice on the board I flashed JUST the webtop.img from the stock rom image. I am now getting Failed to boot 4 STarting RSD mode...and just stuck at this screen. Anyone know how I can get back to my OTA WORKING phone...unbricked help!?

+1 Same thing here only I used Tenfar's Recovery to flash the webtop V1 because the URL code in the thread was broke and I didn't realize I was using V1 when V2 download link was right there. I feel dumb now. I'm going to try and fix it and flash V2 if I can get back into recovery and put the V2 on the phone somehow. Sigh. I suppose if the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...was formated better this would not of happen.
Use rsd flash stock room 4.5.91.
I resolved my failed to boot by flashing the 4.5.91 sbf and actually nothing was wiped. All my apps and all my settings and preferences were saved.

Need help! I tried running through the steps to install pre-rooted gingerbread on my dx2 and everything was going well till the reboot, now the phone won't get past the motorola M "dual core" screen. I can get back to stock recovery, I've tried wiping the phone but no dice, so I've sbf-ed back to froyo through RSD lite and then the phone starts up fine. Tried installing pre-rooted GB three times and it always ends the same :-( Probably just being a moe.ron but I have no idea what else to try. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to try and help!
-desperately wanting rooted gingerbread
Sbf to gingerbread and find the thread on one click gingerbread root method.

Gotta root froyo, then use the bootstrap to install that file. Now that we have the sbf for gingerbread and the one click root...you don't have to go to froyo and take all those unnecessary steps, just flash the gingerbread sbf. Just make sure you wipe data before the sbf...it usually eliminates a bootloop.

R u just searching for the SBF file so u that you can update?
...if thats the case (?), check the Development section, there is a Reference post that has all the appropriate files
reason
i want the update.zip to sit on my internal storage incase i screw up my fone too hard and need a quick way back
Well, if you screw up your phone that bad you probably won't be able to get into recovery, so you'd have to sbf from your computer. There is no update.zip, its an sbf file.

Use search.
There is no .zip for the legit 2.3.4, you HAVE to perform the sbf.
thank you for the comfirmation, i thought my google fu was strong. i guess that somethings that has to be leaked?
I could ul mine when I get home. How do I do it? Which web hoster? I have never posted a large file.
I think you can get P3droids zip, right? Or is that 2.3.3?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
even if we do have a 2.3.4 zip, doesnt the sbf still have to be done to update the kernel? other wise your just installing a 2.3.4 rom on top of 2.3.3 kernel. I could also be wrong about that.
When you UD-ota you are on 233. All the new stuff is in the update.zip that can be flashed from stock recovery.

I believe this is correct
I remember seeing in stock recovery an option for install update.zip
Idont know if this will work the same way as an sbf would, if u happen to mess something up and.need to get back. Could be worth a shot but it might also be dangerous so proceed with caution. Has anyone ever tried to do that instead of sbfing before?
Now im just curious, why is the the update 6 times smaller than the sbf. just a question, thank you for the zip, might be usefull, i was switching roms earlier and got stuck in boot up, but could acsess stock recovery, alas by then it was too late for me t find and put the zip internal. got a back up plan now!!!
I am probably wrong but I would think that its because the update.zip doesn't have the system partition and files like the sbf does. This is why I don't think it will work the same way.
FYI next time you are in a bootloop try just pulling battery and put it back in. Then plug ur phone into the wall. This brings u to the bootstrap and u can restore a nandroid or try a data wipe from there or cache/dalvik wipe. Then again I believe if a wipe was done prior to that it would have wiped recovery app settings being installed. But u may get lucky and still be able to get into it.
I have restored nandroid many times when stuck in bootloop by doing this.
Im stuck in ap fastboot failure after attempting to flash back to 173 AND .181 it doesnt matter which i try and flash it just gets me stuck. The RSD files i find all have something wrong with them. Either xml format is wrong or image files are missing. Does anyone know how i can fix this or point me towards a file that will work with rsd? this is the second time the utility has done nothing for me but get me stuck in a boot failure.
edit: i have one file that works but it fails at step 4 saying unknown fastboot command. (oem); phone connected
edit 2: i may have found a fix for the xml file on droidrazr.com
edit 3: The fix didnt work im still stuck in boot failure...
edit 4: alright i finally got it working haha, decided to do a fresh download of the .173 system off of rootzwiki then did the oem fix from droidrazr.com and its all good to go
mods can delete this thread but from what ive seen i dont think there are any?
Lol. Glad you worked through it and got her fixed!

okay i have an mx2 2.3.6 rooted and rerecovery installed flashed miui 4 everything was fine until i played around with motomizer and adjusted the lcd density now the miuihome has stopped and will not let me get to my apps i can use sms somewhat and get to the browser using the statistics opt in message i have tried to recover but it doesnt boot into it even though i flashed rerecovery i have done a fatctory data reset in android recovery nothing helps i even tried to sbf back to 2.3.5 and the flash fails any ideas how to fix it. this is my 2nd one already warranted it out once.
okay i have tried everything i know with no luck. i can use the phone to receive calls and texts just cannot send either. can use the voice search to get to the browser. still cannot load the screens just get miuihome has stopped message. i somehow lost the recovery and cannot get back into it to do anything. i used the android recovery to wipe data and cache with no luck. ive tried to use adb and fastboot to flash things with no luck. im really at my wits end. no sbf files will work
flash fails either it wont enumerate or product id fails im using rsd lite. i love this phone and miui but this sucks and i know its my fault for tweaking stuff but there doesnt seem to be an answer. any help is greatly appreciated.
if there is no solution oh well.....:crying:

If you can boot into RSD try sbf for 2.3.4 or even back to 2.3.3. I had issues before with 2.3.4 not performing a clean sbf. It would say it was completed but it would not wipe the phone. But when I would sbf 2.3.3 it would work fine. Worth a shot.

DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
try this power down your phone then hold the power and volume down buttons until fast boot shows up on the top of the screen then push the volume down button down 7 times to android recovery then reflash miui 4 then factory restore and all that

This should work. Reflash the from and it should cancel out you dpi settings.

I thought you could only install signed packages in the stock recovery. Is this different with the MX2?
nothing works
cant flash anything from stock recovery other than signed packages. is there anyway to flash a recovery from adb or fastboot. i can get to both of them along with rsd but cannot sbf as i have found out i have an mx2 stock with 2.3.6 and cannot sbf down to anything else. im reeally stuck here.

You cant flash anything using the stock recovery. You need a custom recovery. I dont know what the milestone x2 uses, but if its the same as the Droid X2, its the bootstrap recovery.
i cant get to my apps to run the recovery app. i really dont know what to do at this point, but i can use the phone to receive calls and text just cant make any because i error saying phone or messaging has stopped. can i flash the bootstrap in fastboot or adb i have tried but not real proficient with either.
okay done some reading im using rsd lite 5.4.4 and have been trying to flash the zips, just read the i must extract it first. is this so....

Someone else chime in if its different for the Milestone X2.
ionicone, bootstrap is not a flashable zip. it is an .apk file (app). Put it on your sd card and install it like a normal app. Then open it and follow the directions. I don't know how different the Milestone X2 is from the Droid X2 but thats how what we use and thats how we do it.
I may be misunderstanding but if nothing else works, SBF and start over.
---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
And SBF should work as long as you can get into the normal recovery mode. I dont know why else SBF files wouldnt work for you.
i may not be very clear on my problem, but i cant install anything on the phone because of the error message it wont go away just says miuihome has stopped. everything i try to sbf through rsd lite fails but im in the process of extracting and trying that one has already failed trying another now.

What exactly did you change to make this happen in the first place?
If it was just the LCD density, try pushing the original build.prop file into the system folder. Since, I believe thats where the DPI is controlled. Or if you can get into with root explorer or something, change it back manually.
it was the lcd density property. can i rip this from the backup i have stored on my pc and push it through adb.
as far as sbfing this is what my phone says
SVF:106:2:3
sec_exception: b655, eddc, eb
thanks for replying btw

You should be able to. Just make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--
You can get it from your backup or pull it from the ROM you flashed
Why don't you just factory restore and cache then reboot from the menu and it should be fixed

tried that it does nothing, and now after trying to flash stuff through fastboot i may have bricked it. going to cspire today to see if i can warranty this one out.
update
cspire will let me warranty this one out, i will not root again until things are more stable as in an unlocked bootloader. thanks to everyone that tried to help.
They won't unlock the bootloader for a long time so don't get your hopes up and wasn't this your own fault?

maybe this helps " If your rooted go into root explorer and open System > Build.prop in text editor. Find the line labeled ro.sf.lcd_density= and change it to 240." from: Doahh droidx forums
It's the first response to the thread.
Good luck!
