So I am pretty new to these forums, as well as the whole android hacking community. I recently got a droid x 2 and thought I would take a shot at the whole rooting thing. I used the Motorola 1 click Root process and was able to root with no problems. I then downloaded the droidx2 recovery bootstrap and created a backup. After creating the backup, I attempted to flash eclipse (v 0.5). After it installed, I rebooted from the bootstrap and now I am stuck in a bootloop. The startup animation has changed to the droid bionic(one of the features of eclipse) so I am assuming the ROM installed somewhat correctly. Just wondering if anyone can help me here.
Thanks

Did you wipe data / cache? If not, do so.

does it actually bootloop, aka do a restart after a while? or does it just sit at the bionic boot screen for a really long time?

Whenever flashing a ROM, even an updated version, usually do a wipe/data reset by default. If you get a bootloop after that, then that's something to worry about possibly.
I had the same problem when i flashed version .04. I pulled the battery after it bootlooped, and went into stock recovery and did factory/reset and it fixed it.

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

Reflash the sbf, activate the phone, reflash P3Droids update, wipe data/cache/dalvik from custom recovery, flash Eclipse v0.3/4 wichever now that he has a newer release.... I had to do this yesterday as I wiped when I didnt get a homescreen after flashing Eclipse.

You need to do more research. Gingerbreak is NOT the system recovery app. That is why system recovery is not in app drawer.

sounds like you need to install or re-install Bootstrap. This should help.

Ok rite to it I have the old cwr that came out along time ago for the x2, my question is, should I install or need to install the bsr the one signed for the x2 I know the one I have is originally for the atrix, but do I need to install this one or am I fine with the cwr I have now?.I'm thinking of flashing the new molten, I'm rooted, supercharged on 2.3.4.thanks in advanced......
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
You need both. The ReRecovery is just a flash (zip) version of the exact same cwr. You need the original to flash the new one. They work together. So while wiping data from cwr you can flash it before reboot and renew what you just wiped away. Read the 2nd post of my thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20985756&postcount=2
edit
Once rebooted you can install bootstrap again if you like. They are compatible with each other.
But you will find it will still work even though its gone. Just plug in and power off. The flashed ver runs from /preinstall and will stay untill another data wipe. Then YOU GET TO FLASH IT AGAIN!
Ok thanks I appreciate the info

We only have one BSR for the x2
Or did I miss something?
Yes we have 1 and a half.

No two both with crutches.
Or two that are not quite one?

Lol true
it is still the same bootstrap tho
Now we are able to get into it after a ROM flash or data wipe by flashing your creation.
I just can't believe it took this long for someone to create that . Good job
Now I can't wait to see if that can be baked into a ROM zip so that upon flashing a ROM, the last thing it does is install what u made so it's all just one easy step for everyone. For us forgetful types they are so used to just flashing and hitting reboot lol
Forgetting what?

To flash the BSR installer before pressing reboot.
If it was built into the ROM zip then no one would forget and we would have BSR available after every flash
Right. I ment a joke- forgetting...
But yes decompile the recovery binary and hack the RR in, no problem...
I should bE sleeping lol
I'm missing in my face jokes lol....good night
(SOLVED) hello neighbors. I am having an issue... my atrix will only boot if i install honey atrix on it. i have tried many other roms. many different times. i have wiped all data cache partitions, dalvik, battery stats, formatted system, dat, cache. And still i can get nothing to boot besides Honeyatrix rom.
it seems to load them from the zip file ok just wont boot past the unlock dual core screen. i have let it set for 10-20 min to see if it will boot and nothing.
i had recieved this under warranty and it was shipped with the new 2.3.6. 4.5.91 and i rooted and unlocked using the unlock tool v.4.
any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance,
SErooted
Try a full wipe with fastboot before flashing. Also may need to flash appropriate kernel. What ROM's have you tried?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
ive tried cherry pie, algorythm, cm7, neutrino, miui many of them, and i have never had this problem with my other atrix. just this one doesnt seem to be want todo anything but this one rom. and i have done a full wipe in moto fastboot as well. i forgot to mention it earlier.

your recovery is the problem install rom manager from market and update cwm or try romracer recovery.
Could also be the baseband radio. If that doesn't fix, looks like its time for the dreaded sbf.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I would also use the latest romracer recovery or twrp from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400641. Also be sure to use appropriate kernel for the rom you are flashing and try the stock clocked kernels first. Good luck.

hmmmm I wondering on this one if his internal might be mal-partitioned.. I had this problem and was cured using mini tool partition wizard. Start off by making sure all's formatted fat 32 primary. Once you're assured of that, format again, fastboot - w and reinstall something like neutrino. Twice for good measure. Boot it , wait 60 seconds, pull battery and reboot. Lemme know bro if that helped..

Regarding dragonzkiller's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912280 on [ROM][ALPHA][JB]CyanogenMod 10 Alpha 3 for the Droid X2. I've rooted two devices, the OG Droid and my X2 so I'm not unfamiliar with the process but some of the items I need to get CM 10 on my X2 I'm not sure where to find. In the article it's said I need the following:
-Install the BSR (patched if on an AOSP based ROM, unpatched if on BLUR)
-Reboot into the BSR
-NANDROID
Where can I find BSR and NANDROID? I have Rom Manager and Titanium Backup Pro on my X2 currently. Rom Manager never reboots into recovery for me for some reason and TB Pro does but I don't see an option to select NANDROID.
Any help would be really appreciated! I'm tried of running 2.3.5 all this time.
Dont use ROM manager for that kind of stuff. Best not to use it at all with the Droid X2 actually. The BSR IS the recovery for the X2. It can be found in the CM7 thread. And a nandroid is just a backup of your ROM that you make yourself within the recovery. Its not a file provided. Its a good idea to backup your ROM before installing stuff. That way you can restore it if things go wrong.

Good to know on Rom Manager, never has worked right.
I'll go look in the CM7 thread for the BSR, now that you say what it is I might actually have that somewhere after reading when it initially became available.
So if TB Pro can get me into recovery what else do so I can do a nandroid backup? I don't see an option to do that?

You are probably booting into the stock recovery, which doesnt have that option. You need to install the custom recovery (BSR) to do that.

Yes, get it from the CM7 thread. Just install it like you would install an app from your SD card. Its the same thing. Use a file browser app and navigate to the apk file then tap it. It will walk you through the rest. Once you have it installed you will have the app in your app drawer called system recovery or something like that. Open it and follow the directions to get into BSR. You have to have your phone plugged into an outlet though. Even though it says plug your phone into nothing. If your are on CM10, you need a file called hijack.zip and will have to place that in a certain location before using BSR. Check out the CM10 thread. The last few posts were talking about that. And the file was posted on the last page. I hope I'm not forgetting anything.

I'm sorry to ask more questions but I'm finally ready to update and I'm getting an error. First thing I'm wondering is this is one of those things where I have to be on 2.3.4? I'm on 2.3.5.
The error is:

Are you running CM on your X2? Why is there so little available for the X2?
