Cant boot into recovery - Motorola Droid X2

Hi, I am running Liberty rom and cant get into recovery using Bootstrap recovery. I have the apk installed and when I click it, it restarts the phone but just stays on the Motorola boot screen does not go into recovery. I am plugged into the wall charger with USB debugging on. I might add that I was able to get into recovery before installing Liberty Rom, although I doubt that the Rom is the issue. Any suggestions? TIA

when i was running liberty the only way i could get into system recovery was to go into recovery app and select recovery mode. the phone would re-boot into recovery. If i tried to simply power off the phone and plug it in, as i have always done to get into recovery once it is setup, it would just hang at the moto screen. not sure what caused this to start happening, hope it helps.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I used apk, and it rebooted the phone but only to the Motorola initial boot screen. If I try it the way you sugested it does the same thing just hangs at the Motorola screen wont go into recovery. Don't understand what happened.
I can boot into the Motorola recovery but, that would only allow me to restore the phone to factory.

have you tried reinstalling recovery apk all together, how long are you giving it at the moto screen?
**side note, just noticed the similarity in usernames...

Yes, tried reinstall the recovery apk and have waited 10 minutes on the the boot screen. Weird, It worked fine before. Funny with the name similarity.

You cant even get into the system recovery application in the app drawer?

I can get to the app and once I click on it it reboots the phone, then stops at the Motorola boot logo and nothing happens after that.

Still not seeing the green X2 recovery menu
Hi All:
Been following this thread but I'm still not getting the "green" X2 system recovery menu option (vs the blue Android recovery menu).
So, I redownloaded MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.rar, unzipped it again, reinstalled the program & rebooted once again just for good measure.
I also confirmed I'm rooted via the superuser app and I can get into the system recovery app thru the app drawer.
sys recovery apps comes up, I click "install recovery" and I get the "install success" message. I wait a few mins before pressing OK. Then, I press the "recovery mode" menu option and, after a few secs, the phone auto reboots. So far so good...
Then, like everyone else, I get the Motorola logo...but NOT the green X2 recovery menu options I'm expecting (like in the Youtube video I checked out). Instead, it goes straight to that greaI then pull the battery, wait a few secs (just because it feels good), re-install the battery and power up the phone.
Again, all I get is the Motorola startup logo, then it presents me with the infamous "D-R-O-I-D" voice in grey letters followe that cyborg-looking red eye, before completely booting to the home screen again.
I'm new to the Droid X2, but I have successfully rooted/flashed Ice Cream Sandwich on my EVO 4G, so I know I'm doing something stupid on my X2, despite the two phones being from totally different mfrs.
Any ideas? I can handle getting laughed at if I'm forgetting something dumb; for me, the most important thing is coming away from this w/ a little more knowledge and experience than before.
Thanks in advance for everyone's expertise, patience, & willingness to help!

Sorry about all the typos & confusion it might have generated...
Just wanted to add some more info to my previous post...
Yes, usb debugging is checked
Yes, allow unknown sources is also checked
Yes, I'm following the 4 step in the X2 recovery menu to the letter (including connecting my phone to the AC charger, even though batt is fully charged, before I press the 3rd button - Recovery Mode)
Thank you...

Have you tried to turn your phone off and then plug the a/c charger into the phone and see if the battery symbol comes up or tenfar bootstrap? If bootstrap is installed it should go straight to that. Do not hit the power button just see which mode it goes to first. If it does not go to bootstrap I would try and get a fresh download of app and try again. If still not working sbf and start fresh.

If nothing else works, try a different charger. The Moto charger should work but other brands may or may not. I've got several other chargers for other devices. One of them won't boot the phone to recovery even though I can use it to charge the battery. Output too low perhaps? I don't know. Only know it doesn't work for recovery. If that's not the problem, try another cable. I also have one of those that for some reason won't boot it to recovery. It boots and stops at the red M. It's probably not the problem but it can't hurt to give these things a try.

Like others said.
BEFORE PRESSING RECOVERY MODE BUTTON make sure you are plugged into a charger and plugged INTO WALL OUTLET....(plugging into computer WILL NOT work)
Our bootstrap hijacks charge only.mode.
So once u have hit install recovery and it says success and u press recovery mode(while plugged in,) it will shut phone down and the.hijack will install and completely and take you to BSR recovery menu.

This had me at first also. didn't think wall charger or plugged into computer made a difference but was wrong. Had to be plugged into wall charger.
