Hey guys i am new to this rooting thing. I have rooted my droid x2 "yay". but i downloaded the rom manager and messed with it for a bit. I didnt download and roms from there, but it told me to flash clockworkmod recovery and i choosed in the list the Droid X (2nd-init) option? Just to Say i think i messed up doing that after reading that rom manager doesn't support the Droid X2.
Now my Question is did i mess up my phone? I dont see anything wrong with it, when i power it off, it turns back on like it should. what can i do to check to see if i messed up my droid x2? Or do i just need to not worry about anything?

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?

Haha that's exactly what my friend told me to do. Working now, finally got my first ROM to start working...took me 3 days
Thanks for the help though!

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 uped my X2 2.3.4 SBF and that seemed to go OK. Then I did the one-step rooting by Pete'sMotorolaRootTools and that was successful. Then I ran the MOTODX2_bootstrap_signed and that seemed to go OK. Then I ran Rom Manager (it did ask for root, I clicked yes) and clicked "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it downloaded OK. I rebooted the phone. I then went back in to Rom Manager and tried to do a backup of current rom, I entered the name and then it rebooted, but did not do the backup, it just came back up to the phone like a normal reboot. Then I powered off and back on and held down the down volume, I went to Android recovery, but it was not Clockwork, just the default I guess. Also "Flash Alternate Recovery" is greyed out. I have the paid version of Rom Manager. Any ideas?
Rom Manager doesn't work for our phone...use the recovery flashing app found in the development forum. Pretty sure it's in the thread about SBF'ing to Froyo and then updating to GB
ROM manager doesn't support the x2 yet AFAIK

Well that sucks. There is even a link to a Droid X2 version for clockworkmod on his site!? recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.5-daytona.zip, but that didn't work either.
Well I retried the MOTODX2_bootstrap_signed and that worked the 2nd time around for some reason. So now I'm able to boot in to a recovery menu that gives me Backup & Restore and other options, so I guess that good enough.
Just sucks that I paid for Rom Manager when I had it on my Incredible, hopefully it wont take to long until it's ready for the X2.
Omg... This has been cleared up like 10 times........ He is testing with this.. Rusts why it shows up. Yes it works but you need koush's signature... He just cant get the bootstrap to be better than the one we currently have..

Got search?
Funny, I remember telling Wayne of WJD yesterday how easy Google was to use because he wondered how within seconds of him tweeting about a new launcher, I had already found the preview video, lol.
I wonder how many times this forum has announced it, to include its very own thread lol
Hey,
I had a Samsung Galaxy 3 and now have moved to the Razr. So, I had CWM installed on the sammy.
Now what is this bootstrap? Is it the same as CWM? If not, what's the difference?
I would kindly request one of the mods to please write a guide to installing the recovery.
Also, please do separate the Droid RAZR and RAZR XT910 forum if possible.
Razr Bootstrap Recovery is a apk that u install on your rooted phone that will let u boot into CWM. Do to the fact that we have a locked bootloader. At the moment we cant overide the factory recovery or it isnt smart to. Just download the program nd install it like a normal app. Once u have it install u can open the program "razr bootstrap recovery"
So when u open it u will see two buttons one says bootstrap recovery and the other is reboot recovery.
Click bootstrap recovery first, then at that moment the app will ask for superuser permissions. Say yes when it comes up.
Then when it finishes bootstrap u should see a text box pop up and say sucessful.
Now u can hit the reboot recovery button and it will reboot your phone into CWM.
This program will only boot u into CWM that one time. So u have to go into the app nd hit each button each time u want to boot into CWM.
Sorry for bad grammer and spelling

What's the difference between the Droid razr and the razr XT910?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
As we haven't still got an unlockable bootloader, we can't flash a custom recovery to the recovery partition.
A recovery image contains:
1. Recovery's Kernel
2. Recovery /system (Android recovery)
The bootstrap recovery will reboot your phone to a CWM recovery that is working with the normal Android system's kernel, it is "bootstrapped" after the Android's early boot, differently from a normal recovery that simply has nothing to do with Android system.
In less words, the bootstrap recovery isn't a real recovery and if you **** up your Android system you won't be able to access it.
A bootloader solution is coming with the ICS update in late dec / early jan, so don't worry: we'll soon have a decent and real recovery, too.
...And I think it's better to have the forums like that: a lot of work done for the GSM version works on the CDMA one, too. For example, my WebTopMOD, my eprj_MCP governor etc...
If we would have two sections, I would never know that some of my work works even of CDMA RAZR as I would never doublepost it into the other section.

Droid razr is the american version that comes with 4g,the xt910 is the european version of the razr that just has 3g+.
i think those are the only differences but feel free to correct me if i am wrong.
I think the RAZR XT910 has an unlocked BL. As Moto had promised to unlock the BL depending on the carrier preference. But here in India, the carrier has no say...so i guess its safe to assume that its unlocked.
Also, would it just be better to wait for a real recov then? I mean, its not like we're flashing custom ROMs on our RAZRs anyways now....
if you guys check the rootzwiki forum BMc and droidtheory put together a boot into clockwork perm...it'll do wonders until we get fast boot files...I put a script for noobs on there as well to run if confused or stuck

I rooted Droid X2 and am trying to install CM7 but cant get my droid to go into CWM it just goes into the system recovery. I've tried rom manager (v5.0.0.9) I've also tried using Droid X Bootstrapper
.Not sure if i have to delete the systems "recovery-from-boot.p" file. I cant find it either way its not under the /system file
Android version 2.3.4
Don't use rom manager or anything for the x. You have to install our specific one. Here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083
Also once you have installed cm7 make sure to installed the patched bsr or you will run in to issues.

You need to use this MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk while you are still in blur and once you install CM7 use MOTODX2_Bootstrap-CM7-signed.apk

Yea I dont think we can use Rom Manager until the X2 has some some sort of workaround to unlock the bootloader. You'll always just flash stuff through the bootsrtap recovery apps, just make sure you follow the directions as to which one you are to use for the specifc rom.

This. I've actually found that the original bootstrap recovery works more reliably on CM9 than the CM7 version. Maybe it's just me.

Um you're asking for trouble, its only a matter of time. DZK even says used the patch BSR, its required.
Strange I've had the same experience. I'm on pa Rom and can't for the life of me get the cm7 bootstrap to work at all. I have had to use the original recovery also. I have had some strange issues that no-one else is reporting so I'm wondering if has to do with that. Anyone know what problems using the original would cause? I was thinking if it booted into recovery.....it was recovery.......but maybe I'm wrong.
Just picked up a Razr Maxx from Verizon and I've been a Samsung/HTC guy for a while and I'm a little nervous about rooting and flashing. My last motorola phone was a X2...I hate that whole sbf/rsd lite process...been loving my unlocked boot loaders.
Anyway, can someone just verify the way to go about this? I'm assuming most ROMs are now bases off the .211 firmware.
Take a look at my screen shot. I'm assuming I put the drivers and rsd onto the PC...then root...slap on bootstrap and flash? I saw somewhere where a different recovery was needed to flash and would cause a brick if not used. Safe strap? Also would like clarification on kexec. Is this built into the ROMs? And what's boot menu?
Thanks in advance for the help guys.
*********EDIT*********
Ok, I went ahead just just Rooted and threw Eclipse on my RAZR. Its booting now. I still have questions on how to use RSD. I'm noticing MOTO doesnt use SBF fies anymore. I also would like to know about Safestrap vs. Bootstrap and which is better to use. And how does kexec work. I know what it does...but is there a seperate zip to flash on top of a rom? or does the rom include it when you flash it? I would really appreciate it if someone cleared it up for me.

Most all of the cdma development uses safestrap.
You cannot use two recoveries at once.
Matt's 1.81 utility is the easiest way to flash back to stock or to root. It can be found at droidrzr.com under RAZR development under cdma section.
Most of the rom development is over there too.
Make sure you have complete files, factory cable, and a healthy charge when flashing.
Also read the safestrap thread over there.

Thank you so much. Always a little confusing when switching phones...especially to one with a locked bootloader. Totally cleared it all up. Thanks again.
