Need help! I tried running through the steps to install pre-rooted gingerbread on my dx2 and everything was going well till the reboot, now the phone won't get past the motorola M "dual core" screen. I can get back to stock recovery, I've tried wiping the phone but no dice, so I've sbf-ed back to froyo through RSD lite and then the phone starts up fine. Tried installing pre-rooted GB three times and it always ends the same :-( Probably just being a moe.ron but I have no idea what else to try. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to try and help!
-desperately wanting rooted gingerbread
Sbf to gingerbread and find the thread on one click gingerbread root method.

Gotta root froyo, then use the bootstrap to install that file. Now that we have the sbf for gingerbread and the one click root...you don't have to go to froyo and take all those unnecessary steps, just flash the gingerbread sbf. Just make sure you wipe data before the sbf...it usually eliminates a bootloop.

Might have been a bad download. Try and get it again.
You have any other info such as what ROM and/or theme you're trying to flash when you get this? What version of eclipse? You're using the Tenfar bsr? Is it everything you try to flash? May be a bad d/l add L2 said, more info, more help.

I am on eclipse 8.1 and it doesn't matter what I try to flash even stuff I have flashed in the past(I had an old copy of alien on my sd card which I have flashed before.) Even reflashing eclipse won't work. Is it looking like I get to learn how to sbf?
Edit: and what is the tenfar bsr?

Try uninstalling bsr, reboot, and install the app and recovery.
Edit: Tenfar bsr is the typical system recovery app we all use. Just wanted to be clear.

Ahh it stands for recovery will do. Well I can't install it, it came preinstalled and fails with the stock uninstaller there has to be another way though.

How strange is that its working again I wonder what happened.

After you reinstalled? Who knows man. Glad u got it fixed. You should add "[solved] syntax error when flashin" to the title so others can use it as a reference should they have flashing issues.
Edit: just seen your update to your previous post. Yea, it's a system app. Forgot. You remove those with either tibu or a file explorer w/ root access, i.e. Root Explorer. They're located in /system/app I believe.

Did u have usb debugging turned off?
I always thought it had to be on in order for bsr to work correctly
Glad its up and going for ya again. Would be nice if we knew what fixed it in case others run into the problem
I didn't do anything just started working

It's that time again folks... leaked updates! (Yay~!)
This time I got a special treat. I did not want to leave my comfortable place with safestrap installed and booted on Arctic Rom on 211 to fastboot the 6.12.181 files, re-upgrade to 211 stock, upgrade to 214 just to see a small difference in the kernel. Therefore. I pulled and patched the biggest part of this leak update which is the boot.img (New ICS 4.0.4 kernel, hopefully fixing issues with battery life people have on 211 now!).
So two things today:
Update zip to install in MotoRecovery from stock 6.16.211
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15093625/Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip
MD5: 715AD085D246105EB9101F872CE4B604
File Size: 6.7 MB
Utility to flash the new kernel, and the ability to flash 211 kernel back + root if you want to.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15093625/DroidRazrRootLeak214.zip
MD5: CBA714069ABCAFF145610D8EDD33D81B
File Size: 15.5 MB
To root using the little utility, choose the option to flash the 6.14.85 boot.img, boot normally (have USB Debugging Enabled from Settings>Developer Options and the USB Mode set to MTP or Camera with latest moto drivers installeddrivers installed).
Then choose the root option in the utility, then go back to AP Fastboot and choose the option for 214 or 211, your choice. I suggest 214 since its newer
This will NOT get you stuck on an ICS leak and can be downgraded to 211 if you choose (or even 6.14.84 if you really wanted too.).
Is this going to be sent ota eventually?

Nope. The description in Cheesecake said testing software.
Quick question Matt: if I just flash the 214 boot.img will I see a change in the build # or just the kernel info? Flashed fine & now my kernel build date is 6/29. I believe that's later than 211.
Edit:nvm, brain fart.........

Cool! Can't wait to get this done this morning. I haven't had a problem with battery life, but have quirky data (may be because I'm on BW).
EDIT: backed up using Safestrap and did not flash correctly on BW using Moto Recovery (bunch of crap and then an error 7 (failed in /blah/blah/tmp). Disabling Safe-System to switch to stock 211, and updating from there. will edit again.
If I am already rooted, do I need to unroot first? I used Matt's 1.7 utility and instructions to install his ICS OTA zip and 4.0.4 root.
Edit: Never mind, I got it.

if you don't mind me asking..
how'd you get cheesecake working in ICS? or did you use Cheesecake on GB to search the servers for an update for 211 by faking your build number?
I just updated from stock .211. No noticeable differences or issues. Hopefully the battery life is improved.

If you have safestrap of course Motorola Recovery upgrades won't work.
Is there a difference in battery life? 211 sucks the juice man.

Switch the network mode to CDMA/LTE only. That fixed my batter issues with .211
Coming from rooted ota. Used voodoo root keeper, unrooted, booted into stock recovery, cleared cache twice, installed from sd card, cleared cache again, rebooted, enabled root. Its good to go and its not running any worse.
Thanks.

Is there any benefit to doing both #1 and #2 or do they accomplish the same thing? I have Safestrap installed so wondering if it's worth it to uninstall that and then ago ahead and do #1 in Motorecovery. Also since MR won't work with Safestrap installed, will it work once I remove SS or do I need to go back to stock first or something?
Thanks a bunch...Matt you are a champ.

There is no benefit to doing 1 and 2 its only redundant. Just do #2 you have to be completely stock for #1

Thx..
I just tried to flash the zip and it failed. It failed on current system check and gave me an error in some musicFX.apk. Any ideas? I'm rooted but stock rom. I tried temp unrooting via voodoo and got same error.

I was referring to the battery issues. For some reason leaving the phone in global mode under network settings drains the battery faster. When I switched to CDMA/LTE only, battery got much better.

I'm thinking that default being on Global explains a LOT of the crappy battery life people where reporting, I know on my stock .211 rooted usingg LTE onoff to switch to 3G only has almost completely got me back to where I was at on GB, I was CDMA only of GB because we don't have LTE here yet.
I can't get it to flash, gives me an error "Failed Flashing Process 1/11 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin_si..." I had it rooted, uninstalled everything with the root, unrooted, wouldn't let me update to ICS, so I was just going to flash to stock and do it, and now this. I'm starting to panic a little, as I can't even get it to boot. I thought I had the right files, but now I'm not so sure. I have an XT912, it's a Vzw Razr, not the Maxx. I just want to go to stock GB, so I can go up to ICS. I had 2.3.6 update installed. I really need this phone for tomorrow, so any and all help is very much appreciated.
I'm using RSD Lite to flash this buy the way
My fastboot file is called "SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-73_SPU-11-M1-2_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTCEE_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml"
Go to droidrzr.com under RAZR cdma and development section. Look for Matt's 1.7 utility and download and run the flash to stock. Make sure Motorola drivers are installed before flashing.
They are in the file when you unzip it.

Okay, thank you. Right now, I'm downloading the VRZ_XT912_6.51-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.XML.zip files, to flash with the RSD lite utility. Will this do the same thing, or should I go with Matt's 1.7 utility instead?
Actually, this looks like the tool I used to root. Can I use his new 1.81 utility and just use the ICS Fastboot files, to go straight to ICS?
I have yet to get rsd-lite to fully flash to my phone. Matt's utility does work.
Not sure what gb version you are on, look to the earlier builds of the RAZR utility to install earlier builds.

Yeah, I think I accidentally grabbed the EU version of the files, instead of the US version. Anyhow, I'm just flashing the ICS official files, as that was my goal anyhow. I figure if it doesn't work at this point, it's not like I'm really losing anything by trying. It's good to know that I'm not the only one that the RSD flasher has given issues though.
I installed the official ICS, and now it won't do anything. No screen, holding power does nothing, can't boot to safestrap, nothing. It booted once, had an android guy with some blue shape spinning, a progress bar filled up, and then it restarted. Went to the DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY screen, then goes to black. Then nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I could cry. I figured out that if I hold the vol down and power, it'll restart, but just does the same thing. What am I doing wrong?? I don't understand it at all.
Have you used Matt's utility yet?

I tried his 1.81 utility, no go. Someone on another site said they'd seen a similar case, and I need to use the 1.6 version, and then follow the update path from there. I'm downloading that right now.
My battery isn't dead yet, but I have no way of charging it (Going into BP Tools from the fastboot menu does me nothing), so it's just a matter of time. I really wish I could just go to bed, but I need this phone for my morning commute, as I'm really not familiar with the area.
You need gingerbread utility then ota if you want from there.

Yeah, after running the 1.6 utility it booted, and I'm now doing the OTA's to get to ICS. Thanks for all of the help, and I must also say that the folks over at droidrzr.com were incredibly helpful as well.

Hello,
It sounds like i'm having the same problem with my phone like you. But i'm not having a Verzion phone. Should this work also?
Hi everyone,
I've been having some serious issues and I am stumped on what to do so I'm turning to you smart guys here at XDA...
I'm using a Droid X2 flashed to Cricket, running CM7.2. I read through the CM10 Jelly Bean thread and really wanted to give it a try because of all the neat features it has in it. I did a Nandroid backup, installed the zip and gapps, wiped data/cache and booted into CM10. Everything went good, got CM10 configured, but had a non-relevant issue with CM10 and figured it was probably just a bad install. I tried to restore my Nandroid and it froze up halfway through and sat at "Restoring .android_secure" for OVER an hour. So I made the dumb mistake of pulling the battery which resulted in a bootlooping soft-brick. I then did an SBF back to 2.3.5 which naturally wiped my flash to Cricket. So I rooted and re-flashed to get my network working again which went perfectly fine. Then I restored my Nandroid and went back to CM7.2....and now my Wi-FI says "Error" and will not even attempt to connect. I figured the Nandroid probably got botched so I restored it again and had the same issue. I tried to reflash CM7.2 and also tried to reflash CM10 and get the "assert failed: run_program (tmp/kernel_check) ==0 (status 7)" error on both. I have tried repeatedly redownloading both zip files and attempted reflash with the same error. Obviously rebooting the phone and trying Wi-Fi fixer do absolutely nothing. I would either like to stay on CM7.2 OR give CM10 another try but cannot flash either zip with the CM7 patched BSR. If I can have the Wi-Fi fixed on CM7.2 then great, if I can be on CM10 with working Wi-Fi even better, but I would like to be able to get this fixed WITHOUT having to do another SBF...flashing it to Cricket is a PITA and I can only do the flash on 2.3.5 since that is the only version that gives the "PC Mode" option for USB connection. Factory Reset is not an issue with me, I just want things working properly. Any and all help is as usual GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Err, you couldn't have been on 2.3.5 and CM7 before. That and CM10 are 2.3.4 ROMs. If you sbf'd to 2.3.5 then your only options are stock ROM or eclipse 2.3
Sounds like you need to sbf back to 2.3.4

You are correct, they are ROMS that need to be flashed from 2.3.4, but I didn't flash, I restored a Nandroid backup. I started on 2.3.4, flashed CM7, used that for a while, then flashed CM10 over CM7, then did SBF to 2.3.5 and then restored a Nandroid back to my CM7. As I stated above, I can only get my phone onto Cricket from 2.3.5 as that is the only version of android that has the "PC Mode" option when connecting to computer with USB, that is the ONLY connection mode that can be used to network flashing. If I SBF back to 2.3.4 I might be able to flash a new ROM but then I won't be able to do the network flash myself, I will have to take it to cricket which I would prefer not to have to do.

You can not restore a nandroid from one kernel to another without having problems even with wiping. You can try to flash the Mx2 versions they don't ask for the kernel check but you might still have problems on 2.3.5.

Yeah I started to think that that could have been the issue, that it was still running the 2.3.5 kernel. Well I saw no other option so I decided to SBF back to 2.3.4, and it somehow now has the PC Mode option, so I can do the Cricket flash on that now. Weird that it didnt have that option the last time I did the SBF. Guess it should work now, will post a final update once I get the Cricket flash and CM10 reflashed.
Stick with 2.3.4 for Cm7, definitely if that is what your Nandroid is from. 2.3.5 is so limited as to what is developed for it.

Yeah, I've been using it for 2 solid days now and other than a little battery drain and the very occasional random reboot I would say it's running really good. I'm just sick of Gingerbread and after trying CM10 I decided I won't be going that route until a couple more alphas are released.
