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!

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.

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?

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.

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,
I successfully rooted my phone using Youtube tutorial without wiping data (revolutionary.io).
After that, I downloaded ROM Manager and tried to flash CM7 for Thunderbolt. RC1.7. While rebooting at that time, the Cyanogen mod screen appears and nothing happens. I am unable to proceed further and the phone is not booting. The phone is displaying that screen for more than 12 hours now. I tried removing the battery, reboot and nothing worked.
Did it get bricked? Can anyone help me resolving this?
Thanks,
Kala
Did you make a backup before flashing cm7?
Do you know how to boot into your bootloader?

No! Unfortunately, I didn't take backup.
I am ready forums and help to understand other options but for now, I don't know how to boot into bootloader.
Did you ever run in to this kind of problem?
Sounds like you didn't clear data and cache when it asked before install. You are going to have to clear them and probably have to reinstall from clockwork recovery.

Yeah go into bootloader(power off then hold volume down button and power together) choose option for recovery. Wipe data/cache and reflash your rom. Lemme know if it works for ya.

I am able to come to that screen and see different options there (ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.1)! There are 2 options to choose here to wipe:
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache partition
Do I need to choose any of them or choose to install zip from sd card?
Thank you very much!
Choose both of those and then install zip from sdcard. Since you downloaded within rom manager it will be buried somewhere in the clockworkmod directory.

It worked...I am able to boot with the new ROM. As I didn't back up, I lost all my data though! Will my contacts be anywhere and is there a way that I can get them back?
Thank you all once again!

It's interesting! I don't see android market place here in this ROM...am I not seeing it right?
Thanks,

If your contacts were synced with your google account they should just auto-populate. You always want to wipe data/cache 3x before you flash a rom.
For legal reasons they don't include the market with their rom. It must be flashed separately.

Same happened to me.. When I go bootloader(power off then hold volume down button and power together) it will not let me go down to recovery. it automatically does fast boot. I've been stuck on the CM7 boot screen for 3 hours. Anyother options?

Also if you wiped data your bootstrap will be gone.
not sure what zrecovery is?
i have the bootstrap recovery installed and have been using that for months without a hitch, just after i flashed the beats audio zip this morning (in bootstrap), i can't get it to even boot. im stuck at the M logo. and if i pull the battery and plug in, it won't even start up to bootstrap. I just want to flash my nandroid backup
i didn't wipe data, just flashed the zip. chose reboot in Bootstrap like normal and bam, stuck at M logo.....any way to force back into bootstrap? I was literally just in bootstrap 1 hr ago so i know its there....just not loading
Not that I aware of besides doing a sbf rooting again and installing bootstrap and then you can restore your nano back up.
Be sure to pull the battery for 30 sec put back and then plug in to get cwr to boot. Or Then try to access stock recov pwr on & rocker down to wipe data.
Thanks for the help!
As far as I know, the only way to get into bootstrap is through the bootstrap app itself. Which you need to be able to get into your phone to do. I do think you can get into it by rebooting while plugged in but maybe this doesnt work if you did something to mess up the startup. As was mentioned already, your only choice most likely is to SBF, root and install bootstrap again and then restore your backup.
I beg to differ. As long as charge mode was never put back to normal which is also a mistake.

Install BSR and NANDroid back...you did make NANDroid backups I assume, if not I suggest starting to. Good luck

As long as you do not wipe data BSR should be installed. If you pull battery and put it back in before you even try to boot plug it in to wall charger. This will take you straight to BSR before you ever try to boot. Then you can get back to your nano back up.
"I also tried getting into the stock android recovery but then it just gets stuck at the android guy next to the triangle with the ! in the middle."
@ the triangle Push the middle of the rocker to get to stock recovery. (both up and down at same time)

Stock recovery wont allow you to flash stuff to the phone or backup your ROM or stuff like that. Thats why we have a special one to do those things.
Stock is good for flashing an ota (no need to rename just make it start w/ a number so it will be first in a mess of zips at the root of your external sd)
And wiping data.

I was wondering the same thing.
First of all, THANK you for making progress on freeing our phones!
I have read every thread I can find on this, but I cannot find an answer to my specific problem.
I will try to make this brief.
Now onto my problem.
I am on Gingerbread 2.3.4
I tried yesterday to go to CM7
I followed the directions posted here.
I get to step 12 on the " HowTo: Perform a bootstrap (or nandroid) backup and recovery of your Motorola Droid X2" where I am tapping recovery mode and the phone reboots - but when plugged into a wall charger, I get stuck at the dreaded dual core screen.
Since this happened, I have went into my ASR and selected wipe cache, wipe partition and also did the factory data reset while the phone was booted up.
Even in this state, which should be reset to factory if I understand this correctly - when I plug into a wall outlet, it still will not boot past the dual core screen.
Any ideas?
One question I have is, how do I wipe davilik cache?
Please help!!
Reinstall dx2bsr.apk Run it. Install recovery. Set recovery mode. Flash cm7 Then wipe all 3. Then while still in cwr flash ReRecoverydx2.cm7..... see my sigy link.

to wipe dalvik cache you go into advanced and then scroll down to dalvik cache and then if you want wipe battery stats. That should work out of it all. If anything, sbf back to 2.3.4, root, and then retry with the OG bootstrap and see where that takes you
No matter what I do, various combinations of putting the stock bootstrap back in, it will not reboot while plugged in. It freezes on the dual core screen.
I have done a full wipe, it still will not boot while on AC.
Ideas?
You are trying to boot What Rom???
If you have already flashed cm7 you MUST allow it to boot ( do a stock recovery wipe if needed-stuck @ m) then install cm7bsr.apk.

are you running the bootstrap while plugged in? try untethering it, running BSR then plugging it in when your phone turns off.

You can boot to blur 234.
reinstall our old bsr and get it working.

I would suggest SBFing back to stock 2.3.4 blur and then follow the steps in the OP for cm7. Seems your very setup is very screwed up at this point. Sometimes it is just easier and faster to do a quick SBF and start over. Just my two cents
Well through some combination of things, it looks like I am magically in CM7.

HELP!!!!
I'm a semi-amateur at rooting, and I'm worried I bricked my wife's Droid Razr MAXX. Here's what happened:
A year ago, I rooted her Razr and installed safestrap, which came with its TWRP interface. It had been running slow, so yesterday I said I'd put her on a new ROM. I installed CM 10.1.3 and everything seemed to go smoothly. After I'd finished the install of the ROM, using safestrap and TWRP, I reinstalled all her apps and everything.
Then I reinstalled SuperSU, VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper, and Safestrap v2.11. I ran safestrap and noticed it said it didn't have custom recovery installed, even though I knew it did. I don't know why, but I hit the button to install custom recovery.
Well, her phone was being screwy so she reset it at work. It then began to bootloop, and she turned it off (power + vol up + vol down). I turned it on, the safestrap splash screen showed, and I hit "menu" to boot into recovery.
Instead of TWRP, I am getting the green and black stock recovery screen. Uh oh, right? So I don't know what to do now. I wiped cache and dalvik to see if it'd reboot, but still, it bootloops.
Do I hit "Disable Safestrap (if stuck in recovery)"? I'm afraid to do anything at this point, out of fear of bricking her device. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Download RSD Lite 5.7 and download the 4.1.2 firmware here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php make sure you have a good charge on the phone, (it won't charge in fastboot) then open the firmware in RSDlite extract, put your phone in fastboot mode (Vol+ Vol- power select fastboot) plug the phone into your computer using your micro USB that came with the phone. Wait for files to extract then flash. Hope this helps. Any further questions you can send me an IM at [email protected]

Did you try to install SS from within CM? SS is intended to be installed and managed on stock. Did you install CM on a new slot in recovery?
Also, the latest SS version is 3.60.
For future reference, your actions should've been these:
1. Uninstall custom recovery using whatever SS you have installed on stock.
2. Uninstall SS and install newest SS version.
3. Install custom recovery using the newly installed SS.
4. Reboot into TWRP, create NEW slot and flash ROM.
Right now, I'd recommend what nickmoogo said above - start fresh, and do everything in order this time around, good luck!

That's exactly what I did. I have no idea why I did it either. Since I was on v2.11, clearly it's been a while since I touched her phone. So there's no way other than starting over from stock firmware, huh? If I could just get back to the TWRP interface I'd be much more comfortable, but I know SS's version of TWRP is unique. If starting fresh is the safest bet, that's what I'll do. Thanks guys!

Someone more knowledgeable than myself could maybe advise more in this case. Start fresh is what *I* would've done.
Flashing stock is not that hard of a procedure, and after installing some roms and finding the one that works the best for you, you won't be seeing much of stock anyways, I know I don't.

Download RSD Lite 5.7 and download the 4.1.2 firmware here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php make sure you have a good charge on the phone, (it won't charge in fastboot) then open the firmware in RSDlite extract, put your phone in fastboot mode (Vol+ Vol- power select fastboot) plug the phone into your computer using your micro USB that came with the phone. Wait for files to extract then flash. Hope this helps. Any further questions you can send me an IM at [email protected]

This will bring you back to stock but you can easily re root.

Links in the index, but you need to use correct version
Bootloader version must match, or at least it cannot be downgraded.
