A couple weeks ago, I decided it was time to root my phone, since I missed running the custom ROMs on my Droid. So I unlocked it and rooted it and everything went all fine and dandy. I decided for my first ROM, I would flash Xtreme Outcast's ICS ROM (v2.0, I think). When I first flashed it, my data worked fine (however downloading apps from the market gave me some issues, but I think that was another problem..). However, before long, like later that day, the 4g and 3g stopped working. After it stopped working, I decided to try to restore my nandroid stock ROM, but when I went back to it, not only did the 4g and 3g not work, the wifi just said 'error' when I tried to turn it on. So after that, I tried to flash the GB OTA RUU, but that gave me some issues, but I've figured out where that went wrong (mainver error).
Anyway, what I'm trying to figure out is what I can do to try to fix the issue. My mobile data IS on, the battery cover IS on, and the SIM card is inserted and, to my knowledge, working just fine. Would flashing an RUU help? Am I just having bad luck with this ROM and need to flash a different one? Should I update to the new RUU? Any help would be fantastic, and I'd award you 456789876435974 awesome points!
Sounds like you may have had a bad ROM zip. I would try re-downloading the ROM and re-flashing making sure you wipe all/factory reset first. If that works and you are feeling adventurous, I highly recommend Scott's ROMs new CleanRom 4.1 which requires an RUU. Check out his web site and developer thread here for more info. I took the leap and love it.

Thanks for the response, but do you think it was just a bad flash if it affected the stock nandroid backup too? I will try flashing a new ROM soon either way, though. Is it possible to download an older version of CleanRom? I can't find a link on the first page of the thread, though I might have just overlooked it. I'm just not sure if I want to update to the new RUU right now, but if there are no other options, I might just pull the trigger on it.
Go to Scott's ROMs web site and you can download ISCE 3.7 which is still on the old firmware so no RUU needed. His roms are pretty slick and he provides great support.
Good point on the nandroid so I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully the new ROM flash helps.
Well, I flashed the ICS RUU, and now my data works! but now...I can't get my phone to root. Is there a guide for rooting on the new RUU?

It is just easiest to install and ICS new firmware ROM that is already rooted.
There is however a couple of thread in the development forum on rooting and there is an ICS root tool there
Alright, so I went into the phone store to get data for my phone, but the person told me that since i upgraded to ICS, the phone is not going to be recognized etc. that was some time ago and I don't remember what he said entirely. He suggested I go back to the stock gingerbread that my phone came with, but looking around I can't exactly seem to find it. So going through androidfirmwares.net i downloaded and flashed one that looked promising, (JPKJ2), but after rebooting my data was not appearing. I guess my question is where can i find or do to restore my phone to the stock gingerbread that it came with? It's international and unlocked.

Intall the Titanium Backup Pro, backup your phone. Then flash the stock GB, install the CWM Recovery. Thru the recovery do a restore. That's it.

Yeah, that's the thing. I can't find the stock gingerbread to download. Also, the person told me once I went back to GB the data marker should appear, which it did not :/

Here you can get offical firmware's. But, registration required. Also here.
I installed the CLEANrom tapped edition rom after wiping everything as instructed. It boots and initially I had issues with wifi working, but that seems to be working after flashing a stock kernel. Now if I try to play anything with sound or change the volume using rockers or in the phone itself it forces a reboot.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You are probably on old firmware and need to flash the patch

Still having issues
Thanks for the reply. I actually ended up flashing it back to the rom that I had. I also made sure I flashed it to the original recovery as well which is amon ra. The rom I flashed it back to was the clean rom standard 4.4.
Unfortunately, I'm having the same problem no. If I go into the dialer and hit a number it freezes and force reboots. If I hit the volume rocker, it freezes and force reboots. It just force reboots for almost everything except for texting and going into apps.
any thoughts? The 4.4 worked fine on the firmware that's on here, and I did do the wipe and reset before I installed back. Maybe I bricked it?
Definitely not bricked. You wouldn't be able to even boot if bricked. What firmware are you on?
Here is some information
CleanROM standard 4.4
htc sense version 3.6
android version 4.0.3
kernel 3.0.16
I think the hboot was 2.11 or something like that.
Yeah, I figured it's not totally bricked. It should be on ICS. The issues started when I removed my old rom and put on this tapped edition clean rom which was listed as a good rom to use in the rezounds rom options. Kinda stupid that it would create this whole mess if it actually was a working rom. Maybe it shouldn't be listed... lol

Even though your on ics, it looks like your on gb firmware. Search for the gb patch for ics and flash in recovery and problem solved
2.11 hboot is gb firmware, 2.21 or up is ics firmware

It runs just great on the correct firmware lulz
Correct Process for Updating firmware
Hello,
You stated that 2.11 in the hboot indicates gb firmware. Do you know a link to the correct thread that would give me the appropriate process for updating the FW one that will work with the CLEANrom 1.4 dev version? I got the wifi working again after flashing the "old firmware patch" and then reloading CLEANrom 4.4 everything went back to normal. However, I hate sense and I would like something without it which is what the dev version provides, but if I cannot get wifi working then it's kind of useless. When I say "if I cannot get wifi working" what I am indicating is that when I try to run the cleanrom dev version 1.4 WIFI gets stuck on "turning on" but never turns on and eventually just says "error" with no further details. I searched through forum feeds and found a few forums that hinted on steps, but many people have seemed to be confused by this issue in the past and perhaps it is related to firmware as you said.
Thanks
i would wipe everything again, reflash the rom, and then immediately the patch. that should fix everything. key thing is flash the patch before booting the rom. ive flashed the patch after rebooting before and had things go haywire. not a promise that it will work, just letting you know what ive run into
Scosler has everything listed in the op for the rom, and all files are there as well. There's a bunch of different instructions for however your phone is set up.

Hi,
Not to sound like a total idiot here, and I probably do, but you had mentioned I should update the firmware so that hboot indicates 2.21 or higher. Is there an easy process for this or a thread I can turn to so that I can be sure it's updated. I believe I already did the step you mentioned.
I wiped/reset ----> flashed the 1.4 rom ----> ran the PH98IMG.zip----> then boot ----> then no PROFIT. wifi will not work. Maybe it's firmware after all. I don't know how I ended up on gb, I had a friend walk me through this the first time and I'm pretty technical. I used the automated tool by that one guy to flash the amonra recovery and I thought that was 2.21 or higher, but maybe I'm wrong.
If s on and on 2.11 hboot Method 4:
-Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip AND GB Firmware Patch to ROOT of SD Card
-Reboot to recovery
-wipe data / Factory Reset
-Flash ROM
-Flash GB Fimrware Patch
-Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
-Reboot
-Profit!
Based on what you typed you didn't flash the firmware fix...

If i were you i would either s-off or flash one of the ics leak ruu's. that will help. there are many ways to solve your problem but those are your best bets
My issue is resolved. Thanks for all of your help and insight.

Care to share what you did? I am having exact same issue . . .
nvm - resolved: applied GB Patch right after ICS ROM flash (who would have known - I was kind of ignoring those GB patch instructions, since they did not apply to ICS).
Alright, here's the problem,when the official jb 4.1.2 update came out a few days ago I decided to re-root and try a custom rom (tried on ICS but never was successful, also never bricked). I rooted fine and updated to safestrap 3.11, found a cm 10.1 rom online, went through all the steps but never wiped the stock system so every time I tried to boot it would try to dual boot and not work. I finally realized that i was wiping the rom system and not the stock which was why it would never work. So, wiped both caches, factory reset, and system wiped as per instructed and after that I installed the cm 10.1 in rom slot 1. Rom booted great worked fairly well but was a bit buggy for the first day, installed gapps no problem. After messing with it for a day I decided to switch back to stock system because i had all my contacts on backup assistant which wasnt available on the cm rom. when i tried to restore stock, I realize that somehow my backup got erased or something because all it is is an empty folder and took no time at all to restore, also wont boot. Any suggestions?
Phone specs (idk if it matters): XT912 CDMA Droid RAZR 4.1.2 (or was anyway)
PS. sorry for the super long post, i was kinda venting

Wouldn't that just root me and not take me back to OTA JB? I used the same program to re-root after the update from ICS to JB a few days ago.
Matt's Utility also has a "flash back to stock" option.
Alright, I got my phone back on track without needing a factory cable which was the route everything was going until I found a post about a work around by outfieldslayer on droid forums, anyone else who has this problem, just search "HELP battery died during flash!". Thanks to shobon and Gus194 for pointing me in the right direction and special thanks to mattlgroff for his work on the Razr utility!
Hello everyone. I'm a noob.
I have a Droid X2 and Verizon service. It was running Gingerbread 2.3.5 and version 1.3.418, and up until yesterday I hadn't even rooted it. I followed these instructions for CM10 carefully but apparently made a slight mistake.
I made sure to root properly: Superuser worked perfectly, I had Busybox, NANDroid, and Bootstrap Recovery all working, and the phone worked just like before.
In the tutorial I linked to above, I think I know where I went wrong. I downloaded GAPPS 4.2.2 (funky wording since he said 'latest' and then '4.1.x' , so not the latest) and then CM10 A3. I then went into BSR and installed from the external SD card. GAPPS succeeded, but CM10 did not (Status 7, some kernel disapproval or something). When I booted the phone after that, MultiTouch keyboard couldn't start and so I just froze it with Titanium Backup and used Swype because it was annoying. The next thing I tried came from another xda thread (that I seem to have misplaced) saying that removing the top 2 lines of META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script would make it work. I'm pretty sure this failed similarly to before. I then tried wiping all data (since I had backed it up 3 different ways) and installing CM10. It still didn't work, and when I booted I got to my current state of purgatory.
Now when I boot, it tries to run the initial setup but that crashes (and multitouch keyboard crashes too). I've probably lost root access and currently don't have Titanium Backup or any other method to restore from backup since the programs were wiped. I've been trying to do an SBK factory reset using RSD Lite, but the phone won't go into RSD mode.
At this point I just want a working phone again and I'm not sure what to do.
TL;DR: Used the wrong GAPPS version when installing CM10 A3, decided to wipe all my data and try the install, now I'm stuck in neutral.
I guess the internet lied and gave me the wrong SBK the first time. Setup did work, and it wasn't RSD like I had thought.
I still would like to know what went wrong the first time through, and why it seemed like I wasn't able to overwrite the incorrect GAPPS version I had first installed. Once I saw my mistake I did use the correct version and nothing changed.

you state in the beginning that you are on 2.3.5. it is crazy that you were even able to flash cm10. it is made for 2.3.4 . and DZKs OP on cm10 is a bit sketchy in the wording and severly outdated.
there are a few things you need to do in order to get BSR working inside of A3 , as well as needing the GAPPS for 4.1.X and not 4.2.2 this is only cm10 , not 10.1 .
you need to SBF back to 2.3.4 (google EZsbf for droid x2) it is way easier than trying to use rsdlite for a "noob" , and then root. then follow the steps you completed to get where you are now, except use the right gapps.
THEN: (this is not in the OP for cm10 ) , perform THIS : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37698274&postcount=1573 in order to get the patched cm7 bootstrap working. DO NOT try to use the regular BSR .
i can try to help as i get back to my computer here and there, but hopefully others pitch in , as i dont have that much time. hope this helped.

I wasn't able to flash CM10. I was able to flash GAPPS 4.2.2, but then unable to flash GAPPS 4.1.x over that installation.
And is it really that outdated and sketchy? The version of CM10 I was trying to flash was made on January 11, 2013. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gingerbread 2.3.5 is almost 2 years old now, right? It's surprising that I'd have to go back to the previous version.
I may try out your suggestions later, but 8 hours of fiddling with my phone yesterday wore me out a little (a lot). Thanks!

the OP for cm10 hasnt really been updated since alpha 1 . so yeah it is outdated. alpha 2 had a non working wifi module that was never even mentioned in the OP and had to be figured out by the droid x2 community. alpha 3 had the working wifi back in, but did not have the proper Hijack.zip in place in the system files, whereas the old versions did. this was also never mentioned in the OP.
watch this video. it may help.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJdvyufvYp0
the dude who made this video also has DOZENS of how-to videos for the droid x2 on his channel. just search for it on youtube. (ex: how to sbf droid x2)
sbfing your phone to 2.3.4 , using EZSBF , shouldnt take more than 15 minutes.
2.3.5 re-introduced a lot of issues that we had with 2.3.4, so most devs base their roms around 2.3.4. in fact, there are really only two roms for 2.3.5 worth trying out, Eclipse, and gingerbread phone , 7 and they are both gingerbread. :crying:
if you read up on what needs to be done, the whole process of SBF, ROOT, and flash cm10 THEN gapps, should all take less than an hour, even for someone who is fairly inexperienced.
i wasnt trying to dog DZK's post for cm10. i was only stating that if you follow HIS instructions, it is confusing as hell.

Thanks for the link. I remember watching one of his videos yesterday for something, but apparently this was the one I needed! He does have another video on how to SBF back to 2.3.4, so I think I will just go for it right now.
Also yesterday it only took so long because I had to figure out what mess I had gotten myself into before I could figure out how to figure out what to do. This definitely looks like it shouldn't take more than an hour. :good:
I do have one quick question about backups. NANDroid is a full system backup, including the OS, right? And Titanium Backup is for apps and data? Therefore I should be able to restore all of my apps and data into Android 4.2.1 with Titanium, right? I at least know how to get back to 2.3.5 and restore my data if I can't restore it in 4.2.1, but I'd rather not have to go through this process again if I find out that Titanium can't restore everything.

a nandroid backs up the OS as well as all apps and data, but that only helps you if you are modding/messing with that specific rom. so yes, TB is the way to go for restoring apps across roms. glad to point you in the right direction! report back once youve made the jump. :fingers-crossed:
Success!
I used Tomsgt123's tutorials and they were fantastic. First I had to install the 2.3.4 SBK and then CM10 and Gapps. I'm currently running Titanium Backup and it's working flawlessly.
I did have one hiccup earlier though. I noticed that my contacts weren't backed up, and apparently I had disabled the online contact backup also. I was hoping that I could do a NANDroid restore, backup my contacts, and then go through with the CyanogenMod installation. But, the restore kept hanging and refused to finish. I tried 3 or 4 times, and on the last try I restored by section and it was the data section that caused the hang.
So, I'll have to rebuild my contacts list a little bit, but since SMS was backed up I'll at least get the people I care about . Cyanogen is pretty sleek and so far it's been noticeably faster than Gingerbread. I was constantly getting a low framerate just navigating my mainscreen before, and that's one of the reasons I was inspired to try out Jellybean or just anything newer. I can't make any claims about battery life yet since I haven't unplugged it, but other reviews said the battery can last more than twice as long which is fantastic.
I can't thank you enough, Lorenzo, for pointing me in the right direction. :highfive:

thats awesome. i loved the feeling when i first flashed a new rom on this phone. glad you got it figured out. make sure to thank Tomsgt for his videos as well . hes a cool dude and put a lot of time into it.
as for battery life, its kinda a bit rough on cm10. i wouldnt say twice as good. that would be too good to be true...lol . but if you limit your apps, it shouldnt be that much worse.
one thing, to improve performance, under settings, go to developer options, and near the bottom there is background processes. its set at standard limit by default. change it to three at most. this will make a noticeable improvement in performance, but will also need to be re-set at 3 at most if you ever reboot/power off.
glad i could help! :highfive:
