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.

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.

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.

The short answer seems to be no. There doesn't seem to be much activity, from what I've seen in this forum and others, on modding the X2. I wish I could figure out why since the DX is big on everyone's list now, as are other lesser performing phones in Verizon's stable. But, that's the way it is right now.

@clockworkmod: If you want a D3/DX2 bootstrap, let me borrow me a phone!

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!

Because of the locked bootloader there are no 3rd party kernels available.

As BrianKLV said, the bootloader is locked. Until that is unlocked we won't get any over-clocking done. The best thing you can do right now is run the SuperCharger scripts as far as helping performance.

It's actually not that silly. I was wondering the same thing because I had the Droid X and was able to overclock it and it had a locked bootloader. So one would think, that if it can be done with the Droid X then overclocking should be able to be done with the Droid X 2.
From what I've read, overclocking can be done with 2nd-init, But it took the DX almost a year to get there, so the DX2 might be a little faster but it's still too soon to expect any results.
It's all got to do with the most important resource any of these phones have : independent development by creative people.

I meant I had a Droid X and it did not need unlocked bootloader or 2nd init to overclock. I use to use jrummys overclocking app long before 2nd init even came out for the X.
So that being the case its possible that our X2s may be able to still be overclocked. It may just take some waiting. Hopefully its sooner than later.

The X had a Dev phone version that was unlocked. Because of this the community had access to many files that otherwise would be unaccessible. With these they were able to create kernel modules that allowed overclocking even with a locked boot loader.
Unfortunately there are no X2 Dev phones in the wild. No Dev phone = no files, no files = no way to create a overclocking module, hence no way to currently overclock the X2.
Our only hope is a unlocked bootloader or a module based off the atrix kernel, unfortunately the people who are in the know don't really seem interested in trying. To busy with 4G phones lol.

Not to be rude, but when I didn't have experience I read. It would have taken about 30 seconds of searching on google to find out that the X2 cannot be overclocked and why, probably less time than it took to create this thread.
Laziness, pure and simple.
When I have an issue I read. I was just putting out what I knew. Which wasn't the correct answer and Someone with more knowledge corrected me. Which taught me something new that I was unaware of and I appreciated.
So I hope you were talking about the person that created the original post, not me.

Actually it doesn't. We kinda have to work around a few of the flaws that our recovery has to get it to work "properly." If we ever got CWR, we'd have a bit easier time flashing ROMs. Plus, it's built a lot better, and is more stable.
I have it. However, If the phone is powered down, when I plug it in it boots into recovery. Turn off the phone while plugged in, and it reboots into recovery. Other than that little irritation, it works great.
"You have it' is that system recovery? On a X2? The std one?

Maybe as you are a dev you know things I don't, but to say an official version is more stable when it doesn't exist is a stretch. The only drawback is having to plug it in.

I said IF we get one. From a dev standpoint, it's a little difficult to work with. We can't use all the update script commands we want, for example. Also, ADB is broke from the recovery side, so if we did want to do something manually before/after flashing, we can't.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
The current recovery for X2 is flawed. If I want to install a new ROM and a wipe is required, once that wipe is complete entering CWM is NOT an option. The recovery apk must be reinstalled to enter CWM. This is a problem if the ROM doesn't properly install, leaving the user high and dry. Only option is to enter stock recovery which is limited.
