Might have been a bad download. Try and get it again.
You have any other info such as what ROM and/or theme you're trying to flash when you get this? What version of eclipse? You're using the Tenfar bsr? Is it everything you try to flash? May be a bad d/l add L2 said, more info, more help.

I am on eclipse 8.1 and it doesn't matter what I try to flash even stuff I have flashed in the past(I had an old copy of alien on my sd card which I have flashed before.) Even reflashing eclipse won't work. Is it looking like I get to learn how to sbf?
Edit: and what is the tenfar bsr?
Tapped on my Eclipse DROID x2
Try uninstalling bsr, reboot, and install the app and recovery.
Edit: Tenfar bsr is the typical system recovery app we all use. Just wanted to be clear.

Ahh it stands for recovery will do. Well I can't install it, it came preinstalled and fails with the stock uninstaller there has to be another way though.

How strange is that its working again I wonder what happened.

After you reinstalled? Who knows man. Glad u got it fixed. You should add "[solved] syntax error when flashin" to the title so others can use it as a reference should they have flashing issues.
Edit: just seen your update to your previous post. Yea, it's a system app. Forgot. You remove those with either tibu or a file explorer w/ root access, i.e. Root Explorer. They're located in /system/app I believe.

Did u have usb debugging turned off?
I always thought it had to be on in order for bsr to work correctly
Glad its up and going for ya again. Would be nice if we knew what fixed it in case others run into the problem
I didn't do anything just started working

I tried to google search this but found nothing. My phone is ROM'ed atm but their hasent been a update for it in a few months. So i want to put a more updated ROM and also because every 12 hours my phone ask me to upgrade to gingerbread. Now the question is in order to add a new ROM can i just install it over the old ROM or do i need to uninstall it. If i need to uninstall it how do i do so? just wipe the phone? Also sorry if this is in the wrong spot cant ask this question in the developer part.
Sbf to 2.3.3 if you want to get anothr rom. Dont ota for an update
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
So your saying just install gingerbread, root the phone again and then rom it? So its safe to just install gingerbread without wiping the phone? I have no idea what sbf or ota means so im kinda lost.

Oh sweet thanks ill try this out when i get out of class tonight.
ok so i installed rsd lite and got my phone to stock gingerbread. I rooted with 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4 and that was ok. I installed bootstrap and when i click install recovery it says Install Failure /data/data/com.tenfar,a4.recovery/files/surunner.sh (Permission denied). What does this mean? I know im rooted since titanium backup is working and superuser is asking permission for stuff.

I do not think that you are rooted then. Do you have adb installed? If not, I would just rerun the exploit again.

You don't use RSD, its not a SBF, you download it to your phone, rename it to "update.zip", go into recovery and select "Apply SDCARD:update.zip" or "Apply SDINTERNAL:update.zip" depending on where you saved it. Then you select reboot, and your done!

It wont right now. I think Nitro tweeted earlier facebook sync is working on the new 2.3.4 build.
I think u may be able to just use the facebook app from the market to do that also...not sure...I didn't want my facebook contact in my contact so I haven't tried.
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.

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?

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.

I rooted Droid X2 and am trying to install CM7 but cant get my droid to go into CWM it just goes into the system recovery. I've tried rom manager (v5.0.0.9) I've also tried using Droid X Bootstrapper
.Not sure if i have to delete the systems "recovery-from-boot.p" file. I cant find it either way its not under the /system file
Android version 2.3.4
Don't use rom manager or anything for the x. You have to install our specific one. Here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083
Also once you have installed cm7 make sure to installed the patched bsr or you will run in to issues.

You need to use this MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk while you are still in blur and once you install CM7 use MOTODX2_Bootstrap-CM7-signed.apk

Yea I dont think we can use Rom Manager until the X2 has some some sort of workaround to unlock the bootloader. You'll always just flash stuff through the bootsrtap recovery apps, just make sure you follow the directions as to which one you are to use for the specifc rom.

This. I've actually found that the original bootstrap recovery works more reliably on CM9 than the CM7 version. Maybe it's just me.

Um you're asking for trouble, its only a matter of time. DZK even says used the patch BSR, its required.
Strange I've had the same experience. I'm on pa Rom and can't for the life of me get the cm7 bootstrap to work at all. I have had to use the original recovery also. I have had some strange issues that no-one else is reporting so I'm wondering if has to do with that. Anyone know what problems using the original would cause? I was thinking if it booted into recovery.....it was recovery.......but maybe I'm wrong.
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.

Thank you for the reply jsgraphicart.
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.

The error is:

Are you running CM on your X2? Why is there so little available for the X2?

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
