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
[sent from my blurless DX2]
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..

Ok I'm worried because I read some forums today saying that clockworkmod recovery will give more chances to brick your phone so I want to know which recovery is best to use

you can use amon_ra with rom manager ..... it gives you the option of installing amon_ra
ROM manager has always said "Needs Clockwork mod" for me...
I used clockwork recovery image with the rom manager for a little while, mainly just because it was easier then flashing an image manually.
after a couple times of nandroid backups not working, and the talks of how it bricks the eris, I sucked it up and installed Amon_Ra's. never had a problem with it.
I get the same. Maybe the option shows up with the paid version'

and you could flash roms using armons recovery via the interface in rom manager? i think thats what they were getting at. not just flashing the recovery.
Hi everyone.
I'm pretty new to android, but I'm quite good at following instructions. Basically I've tried doing a nandroid backup with ROM Manager and everytime it reboots to make a backup it goes to a black screen with a phone in the middle of the screen with a red warning sign next to it. I've always tried booting into recovery and I get the same result. I first found this out while trying to follow the instructions for replacing the status and battery icons. Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm using ROM Manager v3.0.0.1 on a stock HTC MySense ROM from TMO running Android v2.2.1.
Thanks in advance for anyone that knows what I'm apparently doing wrong.
when you opened ROM Manager did you select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"? if not try that, it's the only time mine has what your's is doing. I got a little excited to flash Iced-Glacier when I first got the phone and accidentally skipped that step and had same issue
Yeah I first clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it currently says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2. I just redid the flash and tried to boot into recovery mode and I'm still getting that error picture upon reboot.
Is there a setting on the phone somewhere that would cause this?
I am not positive 100% but I think I know what you mean; and I had it once due to very low battery charge. See if it is the problem or not.

The phone with the triangle is the stock recovery image. Others have had to try flash the ClockworkMod Recovery several times. You may need to as well.
this is what i did, not sure if your doing the same thing or not. i clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, MY4G came up and i clicked that and then clicked on backup current rom.
Alright so I've tried it with a full battery and I had the same result. I also tried reflashing several times with the current version and rebooting. I even tried to load some of the older versions of clockwork through ROM Manager and everytime I tried it spits out an error. I don't understand how I could be having such a hard time with something everyone seems to be able to do effortlessly.

R u sure u r rooted with S-off? If u r then u may have to flash recovery from ADB. Some people have not been able to get recovery to stick through ROM manager. There is a thread in the development section that explains how to do this.

Really? I have not heard that...I'll have to check up on that. It seems that this problem would be more common, but I guess not as I have had little luck in finding information on my own about this problem.
Just in case anyone is following this thread with the same problem as me, this is the post that the previous poster was referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905&highlight=recovery
UPDATE:
Ok I figured out what was wrong. Apparently although I had root access on my phone and able to run things like Titanium Pro and Adfree and others with root privileges it wasn't good enough.
I followed the instructions here on how to permaroot your phone by pushing gfree to it. Once I did that I attempted to manually flash clockworkmod, which I ended up running into other issues. On a lark I tried installing clockworkmod through ROM Manager after permarooting and it finally installed it properly!
I love doing stuff like this, thanks to everyone for their input as it guided me to finally solving this. I'm off to do a nandroid backup now.

I have NEVER been able to flash Recovery with ROM manager. It says it does it but corrupts if everytime! Note: There has been some recent updates to ROM Manager and I haven't tried lately.

IIRC the security protocol doesn't have to be off to flash clockwork ROM you do have to be rooted, VISONary.apk of course. I've turned my S=on just to make sure and it [clockworkROM] works pretty flawlessly.
Hey hey, it's great to see infraled out here! I am rooted/S=Off via the first VISIONary thread that was posted...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
I installed Clockwork, flashed Clockwork Recovery and was expecting to have to do it twice, as outlined in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021
It only took one shot for me and it worked perfectly. The very first try, I powered off, powered on w/ vol down, went into Recovery and wham, there was Clockwork in its green glory. I figured I was just lucky and that once I rebooted, it would be lost and I'd have to flash again. Not so. Did a backup right away, worked flawlessly.

Cyanogen Gets my vote... But i've always loved T/DB's ROMS.
Recently rooted My new MyTouch 4G, downloaded the paid version of rom manager. I didn't understand why there are none of the current roms like the iced glacier, roms made by evil and several others listed as possible roms for flashing. The only roms are the cyanogenmod nightly builds. The cyanogenmod 6.1.2 RC2 isn't listed either. Do I need to do anything to get those listed or is that just the way it is???
Thank you,
Vinny
Birgertime has done a great job getting EDT ROMs available via Rom Manager (I may have bugged him a couple of times). I was a bit shocked when I was reading the thread and saw people were having issues when they updated using Rom Manager. I think the consensus was that Rom Manager was not properly wiping.
This is what I did:
I was on Trigger 2.9.3 *I try every ROM and I just felt like being old school.
I opened Rom Manager and downloaded the latest Trigger 3.2,
I used the KB1 Modem, KB5 kernel, I selected a few of the apps I wanted (bloater, titanium, maybe a couple others)
I told Rom Manger to wipe and do a backup by clicking the two boxes.
Once the download was completed I proceeded.
It went into CWR and it did a backup... immediately it did a wipe (it showed the steps in CWR like normal)... and then it flashed the ROM and it rebooted perfectly. I have had NO issues with the ROM. It's perfect in my opinion.
What I want to know, for those who had issues... what was different?
Did you get rebooted into the red voodoo recovery (I was at the normal CWR)? I don't understand how it can work perfectly for me, and not others. I would like to know exactly what went wrong so we can go to @koush and try and get both Rom Manager and Clockwork Recovery working better for us.
Between this, Fix Permissions, Partitions F'ing people, stats not working (for the dev's) I think our phone needs this amazing app to be better, and I know koush can do it.
** If there are other things wrong with Rom Manager/CWR, please post... it would be nice to have a list of things to work on.
I can put up a test version on rom manager. The current Trigger 3.2 up there will wipe regardless of what you tell ROM manager.
PS: who rated it 1 star?

Ah, ok. I dont see why downloading it with RomManager would make a difference, unless its not completely downloading. The safest is like birgertime says in the Trigger thread, download on PC and check Hash.

Rom Manager is the most convenient way to do this. it also checks the MD5 before it flashes the ROM. Trust me when I say I know the process...
I just want to know from those who had issues with using Rom Manager to download/wipe/flash, what went wrong?
I flashed it using Rom manager.
I chose KB5 modem and KB5 Kernel.
along with things like Bloater and swype.
it rebooted into red recovery and seemed to go fine from there.
when it first booted up it seemed ok at first, I let it sit for a while like usual.
and then rom manager force closed.
from there it was just force close after force close.
So I rebooted back into recovery and wiped data and dalvik.
then I rebooted.
and everything works just fine, with the exception of it never installed any of the extras I chose (swype,Bloater, etc...)
but I had those in titanium backup just in case anyways so it wasn't a big deal.
Its been running beautifully ever since.
Pretty much same thing happened to me, it went to red recovery and seemed to flash just fine. then when it rebooted i kept getting force closes everywhere. rebooted to clear cahce, dalvik, and fix permissions and has been fine ever since. it didnt wipe my apps which i found a bit odd
Alright, so as I expected... it sounds like it was
THE RED VOODOO RECOVERY AS THE PROBLEM.
Anyone able to prove that wrong?
I mean, it makes sense, it's not the recovery Rom Manager expects to see.
So, how do we fix it? This would not be koush now, I do not think.
Where did the red voodoo recovery initiate? I remember it just showed up one day. was it supercurio?
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

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...

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.

you flash SBFs with rsd lite
or use ezSBF
if on stock 2.3.4, install bsr/system recovery not cm7 bsr
once rom is installed use cm7 bsr
