Boot animation problems - Motorola Droid X2

I try to flash a boot animation, but it gets stuck at "installing update". I tried different ones to makes sure its not a problem with the zip. Any suggestions?

Use root explorer place it in system/media. Make a back up of the one in there first.

Just realized that its not using the boot animation already there. I don't know where its getting the animation where it just says "android". I tried replacing the file with another one, but it still says "android". Really weird!
Oh well, it'll probably be fixed when I flash Eclipse v.8. Hopefully Nitro gets it out soon. He got his internet back up!!

clockwork mod

Saw that Koush posted this on his twitter. Not sure if anyone else caught but I though it may be interesting.
@clockworkmod: If you want a D3/DX2 bootstrap, let me borrow me a phone!
Shared via TweetCaster
Oh This Is Too Cool, I Knew It.
Good to hear. I mean its nice to have one now, but one that's specificly for our for phone & not a patchup from another phone would be great. Even better if we wouldn't have to plug it in every time you wanna flash something
The one on this forum works for me. you might not be able to pass it which file to update to while into android, but i got eclipse installed without an SD card. Tryin to find a reason to believe in the x2 instead of my bolt. worked nicely. The one click root on droid-life for moto devices works like a charm too. had to use that instead of gingerbreak like the thread specifies.
Awesome news!

I'm confused as to how this works.
I originally had the MOTODX2 Bootstrap Signed apk installed which requires you to ensure the X2 is plugged into a wall outlet to boot into a recovery menu.
I just purchased Rom Mananger and saw that there was a Clockworkmod recovery for X2, so I downloaded it, but how do I get into it? I can only get into the MOTODX2 Bootstrap recovery menu. Or, is that what the Clockwork Mod is?
I'm usually adept in doing these things (I had no problem with my LG Vortex). However, I don' t know exactly what the purpose of the Clockworkmod Recovery is versus the MOTODX2 Bootstrap recovery I have. Anything? How to do I boot my X2 into the Clockworkmod Recovery?
Thanks!

Back to my original question, what exactly is the difference between the MOTOSigned Boot loader and the Clockworkmod recovery?
And, is there a way to boot INTO the Clockworkmod recovery? I can't seem to find a way to do it on the X2.
Any help would be appreciated.

Fun with Busy Box and ROM Toolbox

Wow, I just downloaded these two apps and am finally realizing the true power of my rooted X2. 6 months after ditching Blackberry for Android, I am starting to see some happiness with this device.
So with ROM Manager, I have now changed fonts, backed up apps and compared the freeze process (I prefer Titanium Backup) to what I am using. The big elephant in the room is the NANDROID backup. Any advice before I click this option? I don't want to get stuck in bootloop with no options on how to move forward.
Also, it looks like people are using the Liberty ROM that is available through this app...anyone have any screenshots? Thanks in advance.
You should stop while you are still ahead.
Better yet, you should not be using either of these apps.

DO not load Rom Manager on your phone
Do not load Liberty on your phone
These tools were not design for the X2 (maybe in the future)
Go into the general session of the x2 (start there)

absolutely. If u want to root and flash different roms just read some of the other threads. Just stay away from just about everything for the DX.
ROM manager installs clockworkmods. But known of them support the droid x2. So if you install them you will either brick or bootloop your droid
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Good to know...as I stated at the beginning of the post, all I have done so far is backup the apps and change the fonts and I changed the frequency in which the phone checks for WI-Fi networks. I was this close to having the battery symbol changed, but decided (after the warning) to hold off. I haven't uninstalled the app yet, is the phone volatile with the app installed or should I can I just leave it be in hopes that at some point the developer tweaks the program to work with the DX2?
You can leave it installed if you want to. You should install a app called system recovery for droid x2 it installs clockworkmod that does work on this phone. Then do a back up in case you mess something up you can recover.
Search developer forums for Droid x2 system recovery instructions to find the app and info

Change the red M splash screen **SOLVED** check it out

See instructions further down in thread...
Here is a new one...
http://db.tt/ulgkIjvg
the file is in the Bin folder I believe... but I suggest you don't do it!! I think it hard bricks your phone. I THINK!!!!!! otherwise, I'm sure naven and dragonz woulda changed it in their bootups.

Ya thats what i was thinking...i looked in the bin folder, nothing but i figured if nothing was out there and i looked really hard, then don't mess with it...lol
Changing the splash screen is definitely possible. It doesn't hard brick your phone, and I changed it many times on my tbolt. It just isn't in the same spot on the dx2 it seems.

I have done this quite a few times and it's not that hard, nor will it brick your phone. If you mess up the worse that will happen is that you'll have a black screen instead of the actual logo.

So the atrix method works on X2, have you done it recently?
Hey it worked...right on but one thing was it says to delete the last two bits in file but when i do that it throws the size off instead of being 1036820 it becomes 1036818 so i left the two bits in and it stayed at the proper size, fastboot flashed and it worked. Whats the deal with deleting the last two bits?
So it worked great thanks dragonzkiller, im going to attach the file i made in-case anyone wants to change it using the directions from the link below.
The attached image is just to show you what it looks like you need the bin file to flash it which is located in logo.zip below, also i found the fastboot method provided in directions was super easy and worked no problem where the CWR zip method did not work i think because the zip template they give you is corrupt or something it acts weird if you try to edit or unzip it. Just use fastboot method super easy.

I fixed the link...you have to download the fastboot.zip from link and unzip it like in c:/fastboot then go to command prompt go to that directoy and run the commands. You also have to copy the logo.bin into the fastboot directory.
In the link posted over at the atrix page there are a bunch of other ones people made that you can download and install.
Its easy to make your own you just have to use a hex editor to tweak the finished image which seems very scary at first but its really easy you just have to be very carefull.
I use Hxd Hex Editor... http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
I will also say that in the directions it says once your done editing hex the size will be 1036820 bits it says to remove 2 bits from end of image but when i did that the size changed to 1036818 bits, 2 bits lower then what it says so i did not remove the last 2 like it says and it came to the correct size of 1036820 bits so im just saying it says to take delete 70 bits from beginning then 2 from end and i did not remove the 2 from the end because it threw off the size, do whatever you want but that's what i did if it helps.

Recovery reboot option(Request)

I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.
So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.
Thx in advance.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.
Oh, btw, wrong forum.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Xodus is correct.
We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).

Ya well even though we aren't unlocked...it would seem that some sort of autorun sequence for the two commands in the dx2 bootstrap could be programmed to run one after the other in the background at the push of a button on that menu. But it couldn't really be that simple -_-

Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....

Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.

If i were savoy with making roms I'd be all over it, but hopefully just my train of thought may help someone with their endeavors in making their rom worth while. Nitro put our bootstrapper in his "eclipse parts" so I would imagine he might be interested in advancing farther.

As far as i know, it's rom specific. Only problem is the result of your efforts is a flashable zip compatible with CWM. So you'll need to be unlocked and rooted. But you'll still be able to stay on stock rom and make these changes so it won't affect the way your phone works in any way except of course, lack of 4gees. But honestly if youre gonna go that far might as well just install custom roms. So ya know, it's a decision youll have to make.

your best method is use the UOT Kitchen http://uot.dakra.lt/ you make the mods you want for your phone and upload the files it tells you. It does the work for you then you reinstall them.
Its not simple but then its not real complicated either just make backups of whatever you do

Nah, cause you are replacing vital files. Normally you would, say, delete systemui.apk and replace it with the modified version with a file manager. Deleting systemui will crash the phone. That's why it must be changed either by throwing the modified files into the rom zip before flashing. Or by flashing the theme zip after rom installation.

If you just want to change the battery,wifi,signal,etc., icons, along with the color of the status bar and you are rooted but not necessarily unlocked, you can use jrummy's rom toolbox pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94cHJvIl0.
It's also has a lot of other features handy for rooted users.

If your talking about modifing any of the framework files (as your going to need to to change battery icons and such) then it needs to be done on a pc. Then pushed back to the phone.
didnt even see the 2nd page haha.

Ninjamorph will let you extract the framework-res and SystemUI right on your phone. Problem is putting back the SystemUI via Ninjamorph will cause a bootloop. There may be a workaround for this but I never spent any time trying to figure it out. The app used to work great on the ogEVO but that was a lot easier to theme than the Photon in my opinion.
