I was trying to install DKZ's CM10 rom onto my Droid X2, but something went wrong. As it stands, I can get into the stock Android Recovery screen, but I can't get into the BSR, or boot properly (it hangs at the MOTO screen). I also can't seem to get RSD Lite to SBF my phone.
I have a MicroSD reader, so if there's any way to get a signed zip that the stock Android Recovery screen will install, that might unbrick it. Is this possible? Is there any other way to unbrick it?
phone needs to be in starting rsd lite support
to flash .sbf with rsd lite or ezSBF
have you tried wiping cache and or data in android recovery?

I've tried to use the RSD protocol (I can start RSD on the phone side, and I have RSD Lite on my laptop), but RSD Lite just says there are errors for every SBF I've tried.

Yep. I've done that once (I was upgrading from CM7 to CM10).
did you try ezSBF (Linux solution to your Windows/RSD lite problems)
what rsd lite errors?
did you compare .sbf checksums
these are .sbfs that you have used before?
moto drivers are installed?
factory usb data cable
different usb port
different pc

ezSBF (or, more precisely, sbf_flash) succeeded in flashing my Droid X2 to 2.3.4. It's booting now.
I'll try installing CM10 from scratch now. Correctly.
is phone running cm10 now?

You did something wrong during the SBF process (of course). You have to make sure that your phone was in RSD mode (which it now is in) and use RSD Lite (on windows) or SBF_flash (linux and mac) to flash the SBF onto the phone.
Also, MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS DULLY CHARGED. I got an error the first time I SBF'd cuz I didn't do that. Had to get a new battery and then flash.
Hope this helped.

Also there is a 2.3.3 and a 2.2.2 sbf file, try them both

So I have a bit of a problem. I will explain the timeline of events. Any assistance anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Roughly a week ago I rooted my stock 2.3.4 X2 using the one click method. Click Here for Example.
No issues with that.
Yesterday I decided I wanted to install the CM7 rom This method.
I began flashing the 2.3.4 SBF using my Windows 7 64-bit machine with RSD 5.4.4. It completed flashing groups through the G65. It then attempted to switch to bypass mode. I received this error "Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode(0x70BE)" and it failed.
I have since updated the QHSUSB Driver and tried again. Still no luck.
Tried multiple computers and it still kept failing.
I have also tried booting into Ubuntu and was supposedly able to load the SBF using SBF_FLASH successfully. I say supposedly because the terminal acts as though there were no issues and it completes, but the phone still doesn't work.
When I boot up the X2 now, I get the error "Modem did not power up (1) Starting RSD protocol support".
I have the ability to get to the recovery menu and such so I am hoping there is some avenue I can take to get back to a functioning phone. Please let me know if you can help!
Thanks!
So are you saying you tried flashing cm7 with rsd? if so that's where you went wrong. You have to use the BSR. have you tried to sbf the stock 2.3.4?

No, I was trying to flash the stock 2.3.4 SBF with RSD before rooting and flashing CM7 with BSR. The error occurred while trying to flash to stock.
I am also able to boot into the android OS by using the Boot Android (No BP) option on the boot menu. Everything in the actual OS seems fine, just no signal.
Attempt to use fastboot
Hello all,
For the life of me, I cannot get Cyanogenmod 10 Alpha 3 to install on the Droid X2 that my friend gave me. I have been able to root it and CWM is installed (though only accessible via the System Recovery app and when plugged into the wall).
When I go to install from sdcard, I get the following:
-- Installing: SDCARD:cm-10-20130113-UNOFFICIAL-daytona.zip
Finding update package...
Opening updated package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-10-20130113-UNOFFICIAL-daytona.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I had wiped cache and factory reset before attempting. I've tried redownloading it. I've tried copying it to the "internal sdcard", which gives me a kernel error if i try to install from there.
Any ideas? I didn't have anywhere near this kind of trouble getting CM10 on my HTC Aria.
Thank you in advance.

Lets put it the easy way, are you on android version 2.3.5 or 2.3.4. You need to be on 2.3.4 to install or it will abort like that. If your on 2.3.5 then sbf back to 2.3.4 and then install.

I'm on 2.3.5; it came that way from my friend and when I bricked it last night, I sbf'd it back to 2.3.5 because I was unaware that you could roll back (my experience lies in iPhone jailbreaking, and we can't roll back 99% of the time).
So the course of action is to then:
1. SBF to 2.3.4 [REF] Roms, Root, SBF, RSD, Bootstrap, Mods
2. root via This root tool on the Unlockr? This was the root I've used thus far.
3. flash CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169677
4. Copy my rom zips to the SD card (do I need the WiFI patch? It's labeled MX2, I have a DX2)
5. Use the System Recovery app to get into CWM and flash my CM10, right?

Since I've already used RSD Lite to get the phone working again on (2.3.5), would there be any issue just to use RSD Lite again for 2.3.4?
The Linux boot USB drive sounds like a viable option though. Using that though, wouldn't I run option 1 then 2?

Q&A for DROID RAZR Utility XT912 Jellybean UPDATED

Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
cool how to install/use it?
i want to reflash to stock because my 4g stopped working with carbon custom rom on moto rola droid razr x912
Yes... This worked for me.
After searching and trying for days, this has worked and I now have root access. Thank you.
Things that I set which may help others are:
I did a full factory reset and wiped all data and cache.
Connected via USB in "camera" mode rather than "Mass Storage"
Entered "Smart Actions" via Settings/Managed Apps.
System version was 98.72.165.XT912.Verizon.en.US
Android version:4.1.2
A common problem encountered when trying to root is when Smart Actions has already been initialised, either on a previously used system or of an unsuccessful attempt has already been made. In this case, simply go to applications and clear data for Smart Actions, then start over...

Hello, I am a noob to this and this would be my first post. I have an XT912 that was bone stock (been updated to Jellybean via network updates)and stuck in a bootloop. I have downloaded the droid razr utility (batman by Matt) to my Widows 7 computer, and tried the wipe all data option 1 and without wiping data option 2 and they both get stuck in the "writing system..." and that is as far as it goes. I've waited for hours, no change and eventually my battery has died. Yesterday I performed surgery on a cable and made a programmers cable so it will communicate and stay powered up as long as it is plugged in, I just can't seem get past the hang up when it goes to "writing system..." what could I be doing wrong here?

Re-bricked after using original Droid Razr Utility XT912
Please forgive me as this is my first post. After using the original Droid Razr Utility XT912, I was able to re-flash to JB 4.1.2 and updated to the latest OTA. However, I could not get the utility to Root my phone (kept saying outdated/expired adb or something to that effect), so I was able to get root via Kingo Root. I then noticed that there was an updated version of Safestrap (3.75) vs. what I had been using prior (3.73), but when i downloaded and installed the apk, the phone reboots to the safestrap splashscreen (which appears oversized for the phone compared to my former working version 3.73) for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes black. I tried wiping everything from within the android recovery and re-running your updated utility to no avail. Please don't tell me I've finally killed off my old reliable. Many thanks in advance

Once again, sorry for what appears to be off topic, but as I stated earlier, it wasn't until I tried to install safestrap 3.75 that I had the problem. I followed the install instructions for ss, but since there was no older version onboard following a) re-flashing clean stock ROM while wiping data, I didn't need to uninstall previous version. And, yes all I get when rebooting is a non-responsive safestrap flashscreen for approx. 10 secs, then a black screen.

you don't have to flash firmware to remove safestrap, if stock rom slot is still stock
boot to stock rom, open safestrap app, select uninstall recovery, press home button
Menu>Manage Apps> select safestrap uninstall
delete twrp and safestrap folders from internal and external sd cards
done
