DX2 on 2.3.5, can only be rooted with
Magic MD5 Root
edit: magic md5, should install, the DX2 bootstrap/custom recovery, called BSR/ system recovery app
in app drawer, there will be an app called System Recovery, open it and select first option install
when superuser pops up, select allow, then select 2nd option Recovery mode, phone will shut down, may take a little bit
DX2 is different, even from other motorola phones, to get to recovery, it has to connected to wall charger, because its uses a charging mode hijack
DroidX2 Recovery, works and looks like CWM recovery
every time phone is off and connected to wall charger, it will boot to DroidX2 recovery, when system recovery is in recovery mode
to change to regular charge mode, select third option charge mode in System Recovery app

Hi Guys am quite new at this however i've been doing some research on how to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on my Eris but i have not found any instructions or guide and so i was wondering if anyone here could help? by the way i am running the android 2.1 version released by Verizon an HTC and hopefully this won't be a problem.
Google is your friend, also the Eris root app might make things easier.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
first question is are you rooted?
i think the phone's rooted now!
well i used the eris root app and when it asked me to i used the KaosFroyo V30 zip and it seemed to install ok, then i boot up the device and after an initial boot screen i get a screen saying android in blue and like a white light inside i don't know if that makes any sense but that's where the phone stays. i guess i am rooted now but then phone won't fully boot up

The first boot can take 10+ mins. Wait it out.
well the phone boots pass the skatebording androids and then it shows "ANDROID" with a while light scrolling through the letters and is been like that for about an hour now.

ok so this is what i did i downloaded eris root app i ran the app rebooted the phone as instructed by the app turned it off again then held down volume down and pressed power. then i chose recovery and from there instead of using the default zip file i used the "kaos v30" zip file everything installed well then i just rebooted the device. since then the phone doesn't boot completely it just says android and it just stays there.

turn off, turn back on holding the end button and the vol UP, use the trackball scroll to backup/restore click the trackball, click nand backup, let it run hit vol down, scroll to wipe, wipe data and wipe dalvik, hit volume down hit flash zip click on the kaos v30 zip assuming that its on your sd card and let it run and then reboot shouldnt take much longer than 10 min to boot up
Thanks everyone for the help specially Funnyface19 your last suggestion solved my problem my phone is working great!

good luck and remember to always do a nand backup before flashing anything...saves more lives than seatbelts
The thing that you did different was wiping caches before flashing. That's why it works now.
BTW, NAND backups are important, but the one you made this time was worthless.
A NAND backup makes a copy of your system. Unfortunately your system wasn't functional when you created it.
Use this as a lesson. Always do a NAND before you change anything. That way you can restore to a working system.

Hi guys I was messing around on the HTC DROID ERIS and I may have damage my phone. I change the wrong NV items. 435,436,1192,1194 and now phone keeps turning on and off. it only gets to the skate boarding green dudes. I try adding a custom rom but i dont think i am rooted. I try doing the system wipe but as soon as it reboots to enter that mode it reboots and reboots again same system. I can only update with the PB00IMG.zip but does not changes anything. I can only keep it stable on the hboot usb which I dont know what else to do with that. anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue...
Hi, I am pretty new to this stuff, so bear with me here.
I recently rooted and installed eclipse v 0.5. Everything went well except I did not get my contacts and figured I did something wrong in the original ROM. I decided to go back to my original rom...but decided to wipe data because I thought that was the right thing to do. Now I have no idea how to restore the nandroid backup because I don't know how to get to clockwork recovery.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

weird, I had root and bootstrap still installed after wiping data/cache and dalvik cache.
That Might Have Been Read Wrong, By Flashing Recovery I Meant Pressing The Install Button. To Me That's Flashing The Recovery.
Have you tried just plugging in the phone to the wall charger. Yes wall. And wait to see if it goes to recovery mode.
If it doesn't work all I think you can do is sbf and start again.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
ok:
what do you do if said event happens where your recovery doesn't load through after the rom installs with the wipe/cache wipe
your phone boots, however your usb conditions are stuck on usb mode rather than charge mode.
the initial setup starts but is stuck in a loop of force closes that never end.
i have successfully used Roms in the past, no big deal. when **** hits the fan i use sbf; but i'm stuck in limbo where both recovery and sbf are seeming to be out of my options - unless i can change usb mode to charge mode by some strange form of buttons pressed.

Unplug your phone. Hold volume up and power on until you see the m logo and rsd protocol starting.

i get this error before the above error (before i actually "start" it)

EDIT: the problem was in the RSD version i was using, i got everything working now. thanks!
I'm currently rooted and running Eclipse rom on my X2. However when trying to reboot into recovery to install a new custom rom, the phone just reboots completely. I have tried Rom Manager and bootstrap, and both just reboot the phone when choosing Reboot into recovery. I've used Rom manager before with no problems. Its on the latest version and has superuser permissions. How can I fix it?

never ever use rom manager for the x2 its not fully supported yet.
get into bootstrap click install recovery then plug your phone into the wall and then press recovery in the bootstrap...keep your phone plugged in always when using bootstrap or it will not boot into recovery hence the reason why it completely reboots
if done correctly itll boot into bootstrap recovery adn youll be able to flash

Try going to the bootstrap app and hit install and give it superuser permission if it asks. Now plug your phone charger into the wall and connect it to your phone. Hit the recovery button and it should boot into recovery. I think some scripts hijack the recovery script, and reinstalling recovery fixes it.

You answered your own question with this statement! Only use the recovery that is meant for the X2. (its actually an atrix port)
Awesome. I had downloaded the port from the Atrix for the X2 but thought it was weird when it said Droid 2 when I loaded it up. Guess I originally got a bad link. Thanks for the help.
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.

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

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.

Major newbie here, so i've gotten up to step 4. but I'm stuck at that.
Q: How do I install Eclipse?
1. sbf to 234
2. Root using MotorolaOneclick
3. Install Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and protect root but temp unroot
4. Apply 235 update in stock recovery
5. Restore root in Voodoo rootkeeper and delete backup (make sure root is restored before deleting!)
6. Install bootstrap
7. Reboot into bootstrap recovery
8. Wipe data
9. Flash eclipse
10. Profit from its beauty
How do I apply the 235 update in stock recovery, and how do I get that? And also, how do you do number 8 and 9, sorry if this is too much to ask. I'm new to this and don't want to go without directions, but sadly to a newbie, this aren't very helpful.
You can look into he droid x2 android development forum forum here or just dl 2.3.5 as if you were updating from your provider, by going to: settings/about phone/system updates.
8 and 9 are options in bootstrap recovery after you perform step 7
Sent from my Xoom using xda app-developers app
Yea take the update they way mombof told you, then open Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and restore root. It is IMPORTANT that after you restore the root you delete the SU Backup in the program or Eclipse install will fail.
Then download Boostrap Recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083
Once it is installed Enter BSR following the directions in the link above and you will see "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" Select it
Then still in BSR you will see "Install zip from sd card" Select it then select "Sd Card" and find The eclipse Zip you should have downloaded and placed on your external sd card. And that's it.

Alright so, I followed the directions up to where you get into the Bootstrap recovery, once I go into recovery mode from the app, it shows the "Dual Core Technology" screen and nothing else.
Did you press install recovery from within the app before pressing recovery mode? And are you plugged in to a wall charger? You must be plugged in. Just pull your battery and put it back to reboot your phone. If you did press install recovery first then once you pull your battery and put it back in just leave your phone off and plug it into a wall charger and it will boot in to recovery.

That's exactly what I did. If it matters, when I first pressed install recovery and Recovery mode, it never went to the battery screen in the first place, it went to the dual core screen.
And also, I'm on 2.3.4 if that matters anything.
Um ok a couple things. ***Do not install eclipse because it is for 2.3.5. You should have backed up root in Voodoo, Temp unrooted, gone to Settings-->About Phone-->System Update and taken the 2.3.5 update. Opened Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, restored root, deleted SU backup and then installed bootstrap recovery.
When you download the zipped BSR on your computer you should have unzipped it, placed it on your external sd card, Used file manager on your phone to find it, press it, package install. Then open "System Recovery" app and pressed install recovery. Plug your phone into the stock wall charger that came with your phone and then pressed "recovery mode" leaving it plugged in.
It doesnt matter that BSR is installed now, take the 2.3.5 update following the steps above and then once you are rooted again and SU backup is deleted press install recovery again, and press recovery mode. It wont boot to a battery screen, it will shut off and restart into the recovery menu, but you will see the red dualcore screen first for a few seconds. Leave it plugged in and wait a minute.

First of all, thanks a ton for helping me.
So I backed up my root, and temp un-rooted my phone and went into my system update but it was grayed out. I tried the *#*#checkin#*#*, where you call that and it should force the update to 2.3.5, but it still didn't put me into 2.3.5. I factory restored my phone, SBF'd to 2.3.5 as directed by the root guide you gave to me a couple posts back, rooted my phone, downloaded BSR onto my phone, gave it superuser permission. I then plugged my phone into the wall outlet, installed recovery, and then went into recovery mode and it's showed me the dual core screen for about 5 minutes or so, still being plugged into the wall outlet.
I then pulled the battery from the back, and unplugged the phone. I put the battery back in, and plugged the phone back in and it went straight to the dual core screen.
Has this ever happened to people before me? Or am I just doing something terribly wrong and I don't even know it.
Something is not right. However if you rooted your phone using Magic root method bsr should have already been installed on your phone. You're not using the CM7 patched BSR for any reason are you? Do me a favor and try something. In system recovery app click charge mode, turn off your phone and plug it in, tell me if you see the battery icon again.
Are you 100% sure you are rooted and busybox is installed before trying to install BSR? Download rootchecker or android terminal emulator to make sure root worked.
Try uninstalling the bootstrap you added then reinstalling it. Or do a data wipe in stock recovery and reinstall it after.
when using magic md5 root, be careful not to click continue, until phone has completed reboot
or you will skip steps
If you're still having trouble, I strongly recommend Pete"s Motorola Root Tools. It has a one click root option as well as an un-root option, and its very easy to use. I've used it at least 6 times after sbf-ing without problem.
you can't root 2.3.5 with pete's
edit: motorola one click is pete's

Whoops, my bad. Assumed he was going back to 2.3.4.
unnecessary, as 2.3.5 is rootable now
and if you are flashing eclipse, you need to be on 2.3.5
E:signature verification failed during Eclipse install

Read your great advice to the previous posts. I am having trouble installing the Eclipse ROM as well. Recently replaced a Droid X with a Droid X2 running stock GB 2.3.5. Rooted phone and tried to install Eclipse, but the installation failed twice with error of: "e:signature verification failed".
I have been searching forums for the past two days trying to find the problem, but have not had any luck.
I have ROM Manager and ROM Toolbox installed, if that info helps.
Thanks for your help!:good:

Thanks for the reply.
I rooted using a self extracting batch file off of the Droid X forum, and I don't think OTA Rootkeeper was any part of that, (Don't see it in my app folder)
Not sure if there is a super user backup, could not find it anywhere..
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Could try re downloading eclipse

Dude, you are my hero! Sometimes the the easiest solutions are best. Downloaded a new copy of the eclipse zip file, (noticed that the file size was different from the old one. Hmmm!), Performed another nandroid and titanium back up, reinstalled eclipse...tada! No error!
Thanks!
That's why you should compare md5 checksums on every download
Md5 checker is in my list
