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.

That worked!! Thank you so so so much!!
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 have unfortunately found my self in a boot loop and can not at all find a way to boot in recovery. Not the stock android one but the green one by Koush i think? Is there a way i dont know about or am i screwed and have to SBF?
Pull your battery. Plug into a wall charger (without battery) and power up. Not sure if this still works, but try it nonetheless.

Try mistawolfes idea first...if that didnt work ,you may need to boot into stock recovery, wipe data, and reboot...if its successful, you will need to re install bootstrap and flash a backup if you have one. If it doesn't work, then you will have to wipe data and sbf.
Been there myself...hope it helps.

I'm currently running Eclipse v1.0. I thought I was running v1.1 but sysinfo shows 1.0 even though I ran the 1.1 patch.
So I was going to go ahead and run the 1.1 patch for the HDMI mirroring.
So I go to my app tray hit system recovery, install recovery, allow SU, click OK once installed, plug into the wall charger, give it a sec, hit recovery mode, wait for my phone to reboot into recovery.....
well it all appears to be working until it goes to reboot, it just doesn't come back on. Just sits there with the power off, I've waited 3 mins for it, but nothing no moto screen no nothing.
I've tried this about 5x now.
I wanted to reinstall recovery, but it must of been cooked in the ROM cause I cannot uninstall it......
I did read through some of the pages on the Eclipse rom but didn't notice anyone with this problem, must be me.
Any ideas?
** EDIT ** hmmmm
Well, I just found out something new.
While my phone was powered completely off from trying to boot into recovery while I was typing this, I went to turn it on, pushed the power button then decided I would put my BH6X back in to fully charge (BH5x in now) so I pulled the battery on the M screen and it continued to boot, with no battery, now im in the system recovery......
So apparently no battery is needed, and for some reason I can install recovery, but cannot reboot into it. But since its installed and I have AC power I can pull battery and force boot it?
weird.....
Please change the title of this thread.

So you get into recovery by pulling the battery then? I've never read anyone with this issue. With the phone powered off, and you plug in the charger, does it boot to recovery?

Yeah, I can get into recovery by plugging in my phone to wall charger while its off.
I've always just plugged it into a wall charger, went to my system recovery app, clicked install recovery, then clicked recovery mode, waited for it to boot into recovery..... is that not right?....
** EDIT ** Running recovery V2.5.1.8
That's what the instructions in recovery say. Only thing i can think of is to uninstall system recovery and reinstall it. Doubt it will work but worth a shot. This can be done with a file explorer w/ root access, i.e. root explorer or es file explorer. They're located in /system/app
Edit: you can also remove Any system app with titanium backup as well as the file explorers.

I must be using an ancient version if that is the current version. I'm using 1.0.0.3 and it works just fine.
Have any luck?
I haven't looked at recovery for a few days now (love liberty) but the version of cwm you posted about is the only recovery we can use. You have the right tool.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
How do you fine out what version of system recovery is Installed..
Hi every 1 I did not search and don't know if any1 has posted this but on my Droidx2 I found that u do not need the use the bootstrap app to get into cwm recovery if ur phone is off and u plugg it into AC power and when the Motorola screen comes on unplug wait for a few seconds and plug AC power back in and it will boot into cwm recovery.
hope this helps if no1 new this lol
Yes pwr off & plug in = cwr as long as recovery mode is set. Rebooting no.

u don't need to unplug when u see the moto logo
if recovery mode is set all u need to do is
power off and plug in as said above
it does this because our recovery hijacks charge only mode, its the only way we can boot into BSR at this time

Note: To clarify potential confusion... The BSR (Boot Strap Recovery) is NOT the same as CWM or CWMR (ClockWorkMod or ClockWorkModRecovery). PLEASE use the correct terms to avoid confusing people. Thank you! (Sorry, pet peeve. )
Ciao!
Okay, call me stupid here, but I thought CWM didn't work with the X2? I saw another post that explained how to do it, but it confused the living hell out of me!
What are the advantages of using CWM over BSR or am I reading something wrong here?
Thanks!
To me it (ours 2.5.1.8) is a hacked version never written to be installed by an apk. They all come from cwm. Once you are in cwr you can flash a different "cwr".zip.
Whether it successfully restores your bu ONLY Tenfar has hacked one that works for the (locked BL versions of the phones) Atrix, Photon and the Dx2 and they are all the same "cwr".zip!
Ibolski are you referring to my "wish" post?
It's CWM ported to our phones. Nothing more, nothing less. It's the same thing except we have to connect our phones to a wall charger. Otherwise, once you're in there, it's the same. Looks the same, the whole works. I have CWM on a couple devices here and there isn't any difference. Perhaps some of the options don't work for the X2 but, it's still the same thing. Can you tell I'm trying to tell you that it's the same?
Thanks for the responses. I'll stick with BSR then. It just seems people were so gung-ho about CWMR and I can't see why as there isn't a clear advantage to it over BSR.
I just had an idea. How about, instead of replacing charge mode, replace stock recovery and add an option in CWM to go into the stock recovery if needed. I can't do any of it but if a developer wants the challenge.

There is no point in using a recovery from another phone that has less options then bsr. U may be able to flash stuff like bsr but if it wont restore system there is no point in even posting it other then creating confusion when people cant nandroid back after something goes wrong. Save yourself a lot of issues people use bsr and deal with pluging it in. Its functional where the alternatives are not.

If my memory serves me correctly... which it rarely does lol... because of the locked bootloader the install fails. Stock recovery is in the bootloader and we cannot modify the bootloader so we can't install recovery. Or does install but the bootloader overrides it and brings us to stock. Something like that.. vodka is making it all foggy lol I'm pretty sure that's close though
Actually i think somewhere in the system... preinstall I think. But our locked bootloader is why it does not work and cannot work. That I remember for sure

Where RM puts the recovery IDNK but it's not preinstall.
BTW
Tenfar was one smart cookie getting cwr working w/ one apk on 3 different phones.

my post about a the the newer atrix recovery WAS in response to a MX2 Q about RECOVERY SAVING AS TARBALLS and they could not get a working recovery anyway.
Now some Mx2's can use ReRecovery manually as a work around.
Edit
I have flashed lots of foreign recoveries - no problem as I never install them. They run in the same environment created by our bsr.
But using Rom Manager to install any recovery, other than the still non-functioning dx2, will require an sbf.
nope.

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.

Hello xda Forums,
I was messing around with themes in ADW.Launcher on my Droid X2 Running CM7 and the theme was corrupt and crashed my phone. My phone boots up fine, but the minute i unlock my phone i get a error saying "ADW.launcher has stopped unexpectedly. I can't access setting to fix this. I can only access my drop down with GPS, BATTERY, VIBERATION icons, and connect my phone to USB. I also can't access clock work mod to wipe/devik cache, and factory reset. When i plug my phone into a charger from the wall my phone wont boot up clock workMod. I can't access clockwork mod any other way. I can access Android Recovery and Wipe cache or Factory reset, but i was goign to ask what is the best way to fix this problem? I don't want to factory reset just yet in case that will mess the phone up more..
Please help! I am running out of ideas. I was thinking of install another launcher manually Via usb, so i can at least get into my phone.
you might be able install a different launcher, from pc with play store

Hey man,
I installed bootstrap recovery and opened it up and it said it install correctly. I rebooted my phone and it was stuck at the CM7 loading screen. I can't get into Clockwork mod recovery, so i booted into Android recovery and wipe the cache. Now i am stuck on the red Motorola screen with a non-bootable phone. I am not sure what to do right now?
I only have two options in Android recovery
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe cache
- load from update which i do have Cm7 backup, but i am not sure that will load correctly?
What should i do at this point. I am just trying to load my phone back up normally in my CM7 rom.

Thanks i did that and it seems to be working fine! .. I was using the CM7 rom can you recommend an another good stable rom like CM7 that has no missing features compared to the stock rom. I picked cm7 because i didn't loose to many features from the stock rom. CM9 and CM10 looks like i can't use some features if i flash these roms. I am looking for a good stable rom that I wont loose to many features from my phone. I was looking at eclipse, but never tried it.
cm7 and eclipse are the only really stable roms for the dx2
if you want eclipse 2.3, phone base needs to be updated to stock 2.3.5, or you can try eclipse 1.3 on 2.3.4 base
