Hello,
I'm having a problem doing a factory reset in recovery. Is that mostly a function of a low battery? Thanks-ALways appreciate your advice.
Steve
What is your problem? Is it giving you an error when wiping? Is this sstock recovery or CWM? Are you rooted?

This is a stock recovery, and it says that it is clearing the caches and doing the factory rest, but the phone does not reboot into factory Froyo. In fact it will not reboot at all and stays at the Droid eye. Yes I'm rooted.

What root method did you use? Were you on froyo and just gingerbreaked? Looks like you may have to sbf.
Yep. You're going to have to SBF. You most likely did something else other than rooting, probably unintentionally. It should never get stuck at the Droid eye if all you've done is root.
Factory reset/ or sbf

The phone had the OTA to Gingerbread then used pete's one touch to root and I've frozen a number of bloat. I have what I need to sbf (RSD lite and all) but the stock froyo 2.2.2 did not download well and I well as a message says it isnt compete and i will download it again.
The phone was corrupted trying to add a new theme. I've also ordered a new battery, since I cannot recharge the one in the phone.

You can sbf to gingerbread too if the froyo one has issues. That would be my next shot. It would be nice to have a CWM recovery that works after a wipe.

Should I open the Gingerbread zip before useing RSD lite, or allow RSD to unzip and open it?
I had CWM recovery, but upon an Initial attempt to factory reset, I must have lost it. It usually opened by itself when connected to wall charger, but it does not now.
But how much does a fresh battery play in this?
Under no circumstances should you use CWM, as it does not support our phones. You do NOT open a zip file to flash it over lol. Think of it like an iso, it needs to be in THAT format to be installed.

Sorry, stupid browser. Anyway, if your phone dies in the middle of a flash...helloooo brick! I didn't use P3s method, I just used the OneClick method...worked just fine for me, then installed SystemRecovery.
Okay im curious. If I have put my system recovery into the system apps folder wont it still be there after a eset? It just wont work right because usb debug needs to be on right? And also have to install recovery. But a wipe wont rid my phone of a system app correct?

Hi,
Well, I followed all of your advice, used RSD Lite and sbf'd my self back to normal. I'm now downloading the gingerbread ota and am quite relieved. Thank you very much. Incidently, I did kep the phone plugged in while at work and when I got home, did all of this, and found the battery full. So, contrary to sosme thought, the battery will stil charge even though thephone was nearly bricked.
Happy to hear that !!!

Glad to hear it worked. But u may also be getting bad battery stat reports causing it to read full. I know I have flashed a rom with around 40%and when I reboot after the flash all of a sudden I have nearly.full battery. I know it didn't charge that much in the ten minutes I took to flash lol. So I charge up (using either jhudes bump or bat calibration app) and get it back to normal.just a thought
I am also thinking of going back to froyo and doing OTA since I've heard it does wonders for battery life. Plus now we have root for it...hmm...just need a computer ;( time to call around I guess

Hi all. My Droid x2 is stuck on the boot screen with the Motorola logo and won't go past that. I attempted to flash Speedy v6, and this caused this. I also tried fastbooting by going into Android Recovery and wiping cache/format data, and it still does not work. Please help me with this situation. Thanks
Try sbf if you can't get back into bootstrap recovery.

If you made a nandroid backup before you broke it, turn phone off and plug it in, hope it boots into bootstrap recovery, then restore backup. If no backup or doesn't boot into bootstrap, you will have to sbf

Ihad the same problem but turned phone back on with power and down volume button on at same time until you get into the point where you can get into your android recovery. Remember to hit both volume buttons at same time when you get to the android and triangle. Wipe data factory reset and re boot and it worked for me. If not then you will have to sbf again. I was ready to sbf but this worked instead and saved some time.

Really now?
That would be nice.
Sorry must be a noob mistake. I thought while I was in there to clear data/factory thought I also seen a spot to load zip from SD. Guess I was wrong you all know more than I do I have only been at it now for a couple of months
Pretty sure there is an option to apply update zip but my backups aren't named update and they aren't zips so that poses a problem __
I see I never tried I just figure that yo ucould get to it like you do with recovery app. I did get bootloop when flashing to 2.3.4 and thought I was going to have to sbf again. However starting up in backup recovery and clearing data and factory reset again fixed the issue. Eclipse went smooth and is looking good! Just concerned on my battery life as I need a strong battery for work.
Yes u will have to clear data/cache from stock almost every time u sbf. I know I have.
i sbf back to 2.3.3 and reflashed the script and worked perfectly. thanks for all your help!

You could try the new version...or factory reset/wipe and then try re-flashing, might want to back up apps in Ti.
I had a similar issue when I sbfed. I got to to boot by first booting in "BP HW Diag & Boot AP" mode(Which did take a few minutes). After that every time I restarted the phone came on fine normally.

True.. Right now im trying the bootstrap method, to install a theme that resembles CM, I use smart keyboard pro to make the text keyboard look stock and player pro gives me stock music player .
This has happened a couple times when trying to flash 198_7 sbf from CM7. I either get into a bootloop or it won't boot at all. RSD status was rebooting device.
I pulled and reinserted the battery, went into Android recovery. At the triangle warning pressed the vol up + vol down at the same time to go into factory recovery. That's where I do a reboot. It states clean reboot, or something like that.
I may be off on a couple of my terms because I'm doing this from memory, but I've done this twice now.
So I just flashed eclipse last night and it's working perfectly fine. One problem I'm having, though, is that whenever I try to go to recovery mode (I open up the bootstrap, install recovery, and then click recovery mode), it just goes to the charge screen. I AM plugged into a wall outlet whenever I try this.
I am rooted, I do have superuser permissions on the recovery. Any ideas? Thanks

more info please
what eclipse version?

how did u obtain root?
are u using the bootstrapper located In settings>eclipse parts
and make sure u press install recovery before pressing recovery mode.
edit...okay I see u r on 1.3
make sure u r using the bootstrapper from eclipse parts.
if that fails to work try forgetting superuser permission and then regrant them.

I don't see why it wouldn't work if u are following direction and not.missing any step
not sure but I think usb debugging might need to be on. in development under application settings.
I tried forgetting su permissions but it didn't work, went to the charge screen just like every other time. I've been installing the recovery.
Hmm does it have anything to do with the bootstrap "thinking" the entire time? The circle that shows the system is working never went away, if you know what I mean. Does that make sense?
USB Debugging is checked. I just checked to enable installation of non-market apps just in case and tried again, but it went to the charge screen again...

r u following this exactly?

3. press install recovery
4. wait for "install success"
5. plug phone into charger and charger into WALL OUTLET.(where the battery level is should change to the lightning bolt symbol)
6. press reboot recovery.
7. BSR should come up
if not u r either missing a step or something is wonky.
try data wipe maybe.

It won't uninstall for some reason. Each time I tried it said it failed.
Also, I tried waiting until I installed the recovery to plug my phone in but it also did not work. I just wiped data, I'm gonna see what that does.
Data wipe worked! Finally.
Thanks everyone.
Alright so here's what I actually think happened:
I backup all my apps+data with MyBackup Root.
When I went to restore all the apps, I included the bootstrap in those restorations.
So I think the bootstrap getting restored messed up the existing bootstrap.

and if data wipe fails....sbf
if sbf fails(and u have fully charged battery)....call assurion ...
those are the simple.steps to live by on X2
sbf and/or data wipe will fix almost ANY issues

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.

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

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

Looks like Im a bit late
All,
I have flashed 1 other Photon to the 2.3.5 Electrify SBF and followed this thread and had no problems.. ([How-To] Unlock ATT/T-Mobile on 2.3.5 OTA - xda-developers)
This one is a little different.
Problems:
1. Wifi Does not work(Error)
2. It does not detect any CDMA signals (I don't have an account anyways)
My steps:
1. Flash full 2.3.5 Electrify SBF
2. Pull battery and let phone reboot into 2.3.5 US Cellular Electrify Rom .(takers 5 mins)
3. Turn on USB debugging mode to gain root and install recovery..
This is where it craps out! Says it "cannot change mode" and when I reboot the phone to try again nothing happens when USB is plugged in.
1. RSD works.
2. Fastboot works
3. The phone/driver shows up in device manager correctly.
Can anyone suggest a way to get this bad boy on KDDI radio and PEETr_s' rom? I just wanna use GSM.
Thanks,.
NOTW:
I can access my SD card....
Can I install a Superuser APK from the SD card, to gain root? Which version should I use?
(I tried an older version and it did not gain root so I still can't load DroidX2 recovery.

Wireless is working now and I am able to get to the market...
Update:
Did this:

I was able to get Root access Verified by Root Checker form store.
Tried to install X2 recovery.APK Says it installed then when I reboot-recovery it just reboots into US-Cellular rom. (NO BootStarp Recovery!)
I am pulling my hair out! Help!

TWRP recovery installs and gives failed to boot 2. (I can flash stock recovery back via Fastboot)
This this just will NOT reboot into Droid X2 recovery. (yes I have multiple charge cables etc..)
Can I leverage fastboot here at all?
wow. nothing hunh?
Guess this place is a ghost-town now.
just to be sure, you rooted the thing after the electrify load, Right?

never mind, saw you did root it. so did recovery install or not, and i mean not just the apk, rather you installed it and set recovery mode in the ui, right?

That is the thing... The MotoRevoeryX2.apk asks for Root. IT gets root access... Says Installing recovery... Then I plug in AC adapter and tray and reboot and it just goes to the stock recovery....
Thoughts?

Hmmm... odd. Personally I'd probably start over and reflash from the beginning, then get root access, then load the recovery bootstrap and try again.
With that said, I'm using MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk with MD5 has as:
88c4943564a1437d69d9fc2198e58636 MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk
If yours is not that one, I can post it for download. At least I know this one works on my Photon 4G.
Yea I started over a few times...
Question;
If I RSD the USCC 2.3.5 .SBF should i still retain settings? aka WIFI networks etc? It is almost like it didn't take the first SBF correctly...
This is the 4th Photon I have done. Only 1 i have had prb with.
Can you post that recovery for me?

Well, depends on the SBF, I guess, but seems plenty possible if it does not reformat the data partition. If it really kept everything, I'd to a factory reset just to be sure no garbage was left behind.
Anyway -- you can download the bootstrap recovery I saved off here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pirh10pspz9m7re/MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk

I am still puzzled on this one...
I am gonna go with a recommendation to
NOT FLASH THE US CELLULAR 2.3.5 SBF on Sprint 2.3.5 phones....
I just got another one and did not flash the US Cellular 2.3.5 SBF and all is well.. (unlocked GSM radios etc..)
FYI

Tried to install X2 recovery.APK Says it installed then when I reboot-recovery it just reboots into US-Cellular rom. (NO BootStarp Recovery!)
