CM7 bootstrap not working - Motorola Droid X2

After I install recovery from the CM7 bootstrap apk and hit run recovery it just powers off my phone. I can boot it back up without any problems just no recovery. It says "connect to nothing" in the instructions so I'm not connected to power, this happened to anyone else? A nice ROM like this without recovery doesn't do much good. Also I'm new to dx2 so it may be a simple solution, I'm hoping so anyway.

Um have u plugged in? Its bootstrap recovery so it only works if u plug it in to your wallcharger. USB will not work either... also u dnt have to launch the app. It will kick off anytime u plug up while powered off. Must be off.

Oh the CM7 bootstrap says plug into nothing so that's what I did, I'll try plugged up. How do you run bootstrap without the app, I thought that was the only way? My old phone was hold both volume buttons and power on but I didn't think that worked on dx2.

While power off plug it to the wall. Easy as pie. Lemmie know if it works.

Oh okay nice. Got it going though, reflashed CM7 and downloaded the apk again and it's booting from the app like the normal bootstrap does. Have to try the other method when I get home.

[Q] Fakee phone charge script/app/widget for CWR???

Is it possible to make an a widget or app or setting to fake the x2 into thinking it is charging to boot into CWR without being plugged in, then it might reset to normal after reboot from CWR?
Making themes as I do.. not having to switch plugs every 30 seconds would be nice. Just keep it in the USB and rock on.
That would be awesome!

Moved to proper forum.
Yeah if you could have it in the comp that would be great too!
I doubt it because of the fact that the hijack occurs before the os is even started. Could be possible, though. Would be very useful.

Cant boot into recovery

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...
I had the same issue after liberty install i just went into sys recovery app and clicked install recovery.....works fine

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.

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.

bricked vibrant

i bricked my vibrant and cant get into download mode
i was doing odin and usb came out
i pluged usb in ans held the volume buttons and put in battery no luck can someone help me
Take out the sim and sd card. Remove battery for 10-15sec. Put only the battery back in. Hold down vol up+down while plugging in usb. Should go to download mode.
As long as it shows com in Odin you can flash, even though download mode might not show correctly.

Get 'er into download mode again..
Remove your battery to make sure your phone is off, first of all.
- Hold down VOL+/VOL-, but don't touch POWER
- Plug in your USB (keep holding down VOL+/VOL-)
- While still holding VOL+/VOL-, slide in your battery.
Boom.

Bricked i777 - should I send to MTV for JTAG?

Hi everybody.
I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.
I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.
So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.
Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...

I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.
I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.

Nothing works. Not even the charging screen shows up when you plug it in. No button combo is working.
Phone is not detected by ADB

Yeah I got it from XDA, it was supposed to be something to enable PicasaSync.
I already sent it to MTV so I think we can close this thread.
Thanks all.

Of course not. Flashed it with CWM recovery (or whatever recovery CM 10.1 comes with) as stated in OP.
