I have unfortunately found my self in a boot loop and can not at all find a way to boot in recovery. Not the stock android one but the green one by Koush i think? Is there a way i dont know about or am i screwed and have to SBF?
Pull your battery. Plug into a wall charger (without battery) and power up. Not sure if this still works, but try it nonetheless.

Try mistawolfes idea first...if that didnt work ,you may need to boot into stock recovery, wipe data, and reboot...if its successful, you will need to re install bootstrap and flash a backup if you have one. If it doesn't work, then you will have to wipe data and sbf.
Been there myself...hope it helps.

Rebooted my X2 this morning and now stuck in a force close loop saying the application Launcher (com.koushikdutta.launcher2) has stopped. Ive seen the thread where this was happening on the gtab and sounds identical to my problem. But how to fix this on my X2? please help.
Grab a launcher from a rom and boot into recovery and install it by sticking in an update.zip template

thanks for replying so quick. Im new at this so please excuse the "noobness" but how to get a luancher from a rom and boot into recovery when i cant get out of the force close loop? Also, Ive seen methods talking about using rsdlite and flashing sbf. Think that may help? Thanks again.
Do you happen to have another launcher on the phone by chance? If you do, then maybe wipe data/cache and reboot. To get into recovery just plug your charger in while the phone is off and it'll boot into recovery..If you've selected recovery mode last.

what do you mean by select recovery last?
I had the same problem with adw once. I googled uninstalling packages with adb.you already know the package name so it should be cake.

A simple test: Power off & plug the phone into the charger. If it boots into recovery you can wipe cache & dalvik then reboot. It may take care of it.
If you plug it in while off & it boots to the big green battery, you'll probably have to sbf.
Can you get into the stock android recovery? If so, a data wipe through that may work as well.

Plug phone up while fully off and do NOTHING. If it goes to Green Battery, Battery Pull and turn back onholding volume down. When you see FASTBOOT at top of screen, Press volume down until you see Recovery. Press Volume up. When you get to stock recovery. Wipe Cache. Reboot phone. ON the popup select your blur launcher if it shows up.
To fix issue. Go to system/app or data/app and fix your permissions to rw-r-r to that launcher. This will fix your issue.
thanks for your guys help. I am able to get into the phone
Ok, I downloaded an app that said Droid X2 bootloader on my stock blur, and it booted into recovery where I backed up blur, and installed Liberty 3.0.
And now, I cant get back into recovery. I tried the bootloader app, and I tried Rom Manager. It wouldn't boot to clockworkmod, and Rom Toolbox wont restore my backup.
Can someone PLEASE help me?
I hate Liberty. I didn't think it would suck when I installed it, mainly because past versions I had on my original Droid X were a lot better.
Thanks guys!
ROM toolbox only works on dx2 for certain things, and ROM manager plain does not work as you now know. I would suggest doing a factory reset of your phone and sbfing. By "bootloader app" do you mean bootstrap? Im assuming so. Once you sbf and reroot the phone, reinstall that app and make sure to have your phone plugged into a wall charger before entering recovery or it wont work. Try a different rom, I use eclipse out of preference, but the other roms available are all fantastic and are worth giving a shot.

Just do a battery pull then plug into a wall outlet while its still turned off. It should boot into recovery.

That worked!! Thank you so so so much!!
Just delete ROM Toolbox and ROM Manager. They are pretty much useless for our phone. Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps. But when you restore, dont restore your system settings. It may mess up your ROM. Just use it to backup and restore your apps and app data.
I've been trying to get CM7 on my X2 unsuccessfully for about two hours, here's the process I took.
I saved all my stuff, and erased everything on the phone using the Android Recovery. I went back to 2.3.4 using RSDlite, then Root using Pete's Tool and installed OTA Protect. I then installed Bootstrap, installed recovery, went to recovery mode, installed CM7, and then GAPPs. Now, I wipe data, clear the cache, clear the davlik cache, and reboot. Now, this is where I just get stuck at the M Dual Core Technology Screen.
I searched the forum for answers, but I couldn't really my problem. It seems CM7 just isn't booting for me. I have tried this 2-3 times already, please help me out!
Why did you install ota protect? And make sure you are properly rooted and that the sbf worked... check your about phone screen to make sure... all I know is to sbf again and start from the beginning.
Edit: also did you install the patched bsr.apk for cm7?

I've had to sbf more thwn once to get my X2 to get up and running. I would say to try and sbf again and instal the patched CM7 BSR. If u have any other questions, u can always pm me and ill do my best to help u outout
STEEL BLUE CM9X2
SBF 2.3.4
Root phone
Install regular BSR
Flash CM and Gapps
Wipe data (not cache DATA)
Boot CM
Load BSR for CM7
You CAN NOT boot CM with regular BSR loaded , hence the wipe Data before booting.

K, so i was looking for some different boots and and was going thru a few and rebooting.. no problem. Found one i liked thru rom toolbox, it was a different aokp boot. Im running aokp 6 so decided i liked it. CLicked on install from rom tooolbox and went to reboot to see if it took and wala.. i have a boot loop. Removed the battery umpteen times, cleared the cache partition from recovery but it wont let me into the phone. All i get is the big m then the boot anim and the recycle, over and over. is there any other way to get back in. Gonna go back to stock boot once i get in but getting there is the problem...
i formatted /wiped data.... still boot loopin. so do i have to sbf again?
Pull the battery, then put the battery back in and plug it into a charger. That should get you to bsr and from there reflash your rom.

You gotta SBF. Never use ROM Toolbox on the X2.
Yea I sbf'd last night. Back in working order. I only had stock recovery and nothing worked. Thank god I had a backup. Yea and I did not reinstall from TV. Live and learn. Thanks guys
It was bootlooping because of memory running out and it would crash. For ics roms its best to leave boot animations as they are to insure that what you experienced doesn't happen.

Hello all,
I recently rooted my Motorola Droid RAZR & made a backup of the stock rom with root that I'd had. I played around with a few roms and now I want to flash back to the backup that I originially made.
I've now restored the device to the original ROM. When I reboot the system, it gives me the SafeStrap option & I hit the Search Button to continue to boot the ROM. At this point, the screen stays black & nothing happens.
What should I do? RSDLite?
Thanks everyone,
Austin
I need help too
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
i think the better way is to flash stock with rsdlite, clear data\cache in stock recovery, then boot normally, install safestrap again and restore your backed up rom
yeah same problem......I really don't think you can restore back to stock

Yeah I eventually had to just RSDLite the thing, it wasn't too painful.
Were can I get the files u used to restore can u share them here
