I couldnt post this there, so im posting it here
I've flashed 2 other versions of this rom successfully in the past. The only difference is this time is factory reset it first. Then attempted to flash the rom. the Rom gave me an error, and thats when the bootlooping started.
I tried factory resetting, deleting cache, leaving battery out for 30 seconds.
Im stuck at the Moto screen
SO, what do i do? is there any pertinent information im leaving out?
Your going to want to flash the sbf, full instructions are in a thread in the development section, don't have access to the link at the moment I'm mobile, sorry mate.

ok.
Is there any way to make sure this doesnt happen again? This is such a process
You could also try plugging the phone into a wall when its off to see if you can get into BSR and either restore a backup or try to flash again.

It IS a bit of a process to go thorough. Part of the price to pay if you're gonna modify, I guess. If the suggestion above about trying the BSR program (Bootstrap Recovery program, also called "System Recovery" in app drawer) doesn't work for you, then SBF to stock, which should get you back live, then flash P3 rooted Gingerbread, then Eclipse. That will work. All the links with instructions and downloads have been graciously provided here by our Moderator, The Clown.
As you already know, Eclipse has loaded fairly easily in the past, and wiping data is the recommended procedure. While not absolutly necessary, it has helped others resolve problems they had after loading Eclipse in the past, so I wouldn't be afraid to do it. It's hard for anyone to say for sure why this happened to you this time. The process is a bit touchy, reqireing you to follow the instructions exactly - including, for example, plugging in the phone to a wall charger while using the System Recovery program. Perhaps you inadvertently left out some step along the way.
I dont THINK i did, but hey, i wouldnt doubt it.
Anywho, just for an update, im now pre-rooted GB, waiting for nitro to update the eclipse rom.
Problem is now, i dont have 3g. i tried *228 multiple times

Ok so I just rooted my droid eris using Universal 1 Click Eris Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228). I then proceeded to install ROM manager and downloaded KAOS Froyo V39 Rom. I followed the instructions to flash the ROM on ROM manager but it didn't work. So instead I tried to boot the ROM directly from the bootloder screen (I rebooted the phone while holding volume up and selected to update from zip). It apparently flashed it fine but when restarting the phone it won't get past the bootloader screen. It just keeps looping it. I tried to install another ROM also but it won't work. So now I can't even get on my phone. Can anyone help me? Thankyou so much in advanced.
Did you wipe before you flashed the rom?
Believe it or not I was stupid enough to not wipe it first. It fixed most of the problems but some of the apps on "well tested" ROMs still have problems. I can't get the camera to work on Kaos Froyo for some reason. Should I just try another reflash?

You just need to be more diligent in your reading. The camera has never worked on KGB (through V8 anyway; cross your fingers and maybe it will work with V9).
Please be specific. "some of the apps on well tested ROMs" means absolutely nothing at all to the people here that are able to help you. In the same vein, "it didn't work" also conveys almost no information either - all it means is "it could have failed with any of 10,000 different symptoms".
Lol I agree, but he didn't say the camera didnt work on KGB, he said it didn't work on kaos froyo v39. Read diligently my friend ;-)

After I flashed the atrix alien port to my X2 my phone no longer recognizes my battery and will not charge it. Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any fixes to address this problem? If this has been addressed somewhere else I apologize I couldnt find it. Any help is appreciated, dont want to have to sbf back to stock.

Are you on v0.2 or v0.2.2?
when it happened to me I'd made the mistake of installing the rom over froyo

using v0.2.2. I just sbf'ed to 2.3.3 and am letting the batt charge again and am going to try to wipe the battery stats and see if that works. Thanks for the help, I will post my results.
Well just finished sbf'ing and flashing v0.2.2 again making sure to wipe dalvik, battery, cache, and data factory reset. Still get the battery message that says battery not recognized wil not charge.
If there are not any other ideas by tomorrow morning when I get up I will sbf again and try to download again and re-flash v0.2.2. Maybe a file was corrupt or something, I dunno.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Are you using a Motorola battery? Sometimes generics don't play well with custom roms.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
yep stock battery.
Well i have other issues other than the battery. The phone randomly goes crazy and just starts acting like I am hitting buttons, opening programs and typing random letters. I tried re-downloading the rom and re-flashing but still the same issues with the battery. I guess I will sbf back to stock and wait for another update. who knows it may be an issue with my phone since no one else seems to have this problem.
Thanks

I've been using this ROM version since I released it and have yet to run into any problems you described. Is there any other information you can give me?

Yes this happend to me. What you did was probally flashed oved 2.2. Thats a no.no. Heres the fix. RSD flash the official verizon 2.2. then root with gingerbreak. Then install custom recovery. Enter recovery mode. Wipe all. You must do this for it to work.Flash P3's pre rooted gingerbread. After install then go into recovery, wipe again then flash alien rom. It worked for me. You cant cross flash roms, they have to go into this order. 2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4.

I appreciate your effort to help but this is not what happened. I flashed from the official Verizon 2.3.3, then used red lite to she back and tried again. I have tried this rom at least 4 times now everytime I get the same results.
Dragon, thanks for your willingness to help. Basically what happens is the rom v0.2.2 flashes with no errors. When the phone boots I immediately get a message saying that my battery is not recognized and that I need to install a moto battery. After I hit the ok button the phone acts like a pc when you mash on the keyboard all different apps open up, random keys get typed, when I hit the home button the programs just open back up like ten at a time. Its kinda hard to explain. When I get off work tomorrow I will try to reflash ATRIX alien and post a video of what is going on.

Unfortunately, there appears to be no real solution to this. I hate to say that, but no one else is having these issues, then it must simply be a problem with your phone. I wish you luck, but there's not much I can do if your phone is acting up. I wish there was more I could do to help.

Thanks for your help I don't know what the issue is, it doesn't happen on stock gingerbread just on the ATRIX rom. Thanks anyway. I will keep an eye on your dev thread and will try again when the next patch comes out.
when i was on the alien port i did not have any battery problems. did the same thing as you sbf'ed to the official verizon 2.3.3 rooted and then onto the alien rom. my friend was having some issues however and what helped him was sbf'ing to 2.2.2, then rooting, then flashing p3's pre-root gingerbread onto that. after that his phone accepted the alien rom just fine. not sure what if any difference there is between the methods but it helped him.
Yeah like I said you cAnt do that . You have to flash 2.2 first

"CWM backup, sbf, update, root, install cwm and restore backup"
why would you update to only then restore pre update?
factory reset is very misleading, it only applies to a user that never rooted or messed with their system. all it does is wipe cache/data/and dalvik. the reason why you cant update is one because you have cwm, 2 because im banking on you have missing /system/app stuff. which then fails the md5 hash check of the update.zip. i dont know what kind of issues your having or running into with sbf. but that is the only way to get back to stock.

Any ways - have you tried a different USB Port and a different Cable?
I am assuming you are on windows? - could be a bad assumption but proably not.
Did you install the latest drivers?
Have the latest RSD?
Tried another copy of the SBF file? - I had one that didn't quite work right in a droid x once, bad download.

Wow, are you serious? Hmm..I'm not sure what the problem might be. Seriously, you need to start from scratch somehow...so there are 2 ways you can wipe data/reset:
1) Through CWM Recovery
2) Through Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset
Try either way first. When you tried to reset, what happened? Can you provide some details as to the Settings>About Phone? Anything for us to go on to help?
Let me know how it works out for you!

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.

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.
After installing this ROM, I get to the screen where it says "Touch the Android to Begin". After I touch it, it says "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." What can I do to fix this problem? My phone is kinda useless right now lol. Thank you in advance!

I would pull the battery try to boot again, if that fails, I would SBF to 2.3.4 and reinstall CM10 A2.

If you're unsure how to SBF, it's entirely possible you installed CM10 on GB 2.3.5 which may be what's causing all of your problems. If you haven't found the answer yet, I suggest reading one of the tutorials in the X2 General Forum. Here's a link to Moon Shadow's guide to SBF back to 2.3.4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
After SBF, you will need re-root, reinstall CWM, and start fresh.
Edit: Just to assuage your fears about bricking your phone, I've botched quite a few installs by forgetting steps or getting ahead of myself (forcing me to restart from scratch) and my phone is still working wonderfully. You just have to make sure you're following the devs' instructions to the "T" when you are flashing. It's dang near impossible to brick this bad boy.
