I'm having trouble finding a specific answer to my question so please allow me to be a noob...
I have an X2 running Android 2.3.5 / System Version 1.3.418. I rooted my phone using the automatic method and I've installed system recovery. My question is, can I wipe and flash Eclipse 2.3 directly from recovery on this phone now or do I need to drop back to 2.3.4 like the directions say? Is that out of date?
Also, do I need to get Gapps or is that packaged with Eclipse?
Thanks for the help. I've flashed my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with AOKP, but this is the first time I've dealt with Moto.
Yes you should be able to if you have recovery/bootstrap installed and superuser .if I remember right it has gapps baked in.
don't be scared it's only a phone

Bad Bone, thanks for your reply.
I just did it and everything worked great. Flashing Eclipse is like having a new phone. FYI to other newbs, the instructions in the Eclipse 2.3 thread are wrong if you have 2.3.5. Just use the latest root for that version, install the recovery program once you have root and then boot into recovery to flash the .zip.
It's working perfectly and it's totally awesome. Glad I took the plunge.
Nice

The directions were before we had magic md5 so rootkeeper on 2.3.4 before update to 2.3.5 was the only way to root. Now we can root after update.

move MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk and rom's zip(do not unzip rom) to sd card
using phones file manager, find MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk and tap on it, select installer, close file manager, go to app drawer, open 'system recovery' app,
tap the "Install Recovery" ,allow root, connect wall charger, tap the "Recovery Mode" button to reboot the phone into recovery
create a backup, wipe data, wipe cache, install zip from sd card (not install update.zip) select rom's zip (X2-Eclipse-v2.3.zip), select reboot, done....
How to video's. sbf, root, nandroid backup, and restore
ok....i'll give it a try..
Thank you very much. will be going for it soon...

So a long time ago I rooted my cousins phone and installed gingerblur. And haven't touched the phone sense. Now he wanted to go to gingerbread and I borked his phone. It's working again but am on old 1.26 firmware stock. I've been reading a lot all day and I'm just confused flabbergasted I am plain lost this is way harder then my HTC and Samsung. Well basically could someone tell me or link me to the easiest fastest way to get to gingerbread?
Use the sticky in development to download the 1.8.3 firmware. Use RSD to flash to that. Make sure it is the full and not the service. Root the phone then with gingerbreak. After that there is a sticky in Dev called pudding. Flash that using RSD. Your phone will be unlocked .Then you can flash any rom.

i made a video in case you run into this issue again
This is not for the OTA, this is for the prior cheesecaked build
####BACKUP your current system with BSR before doing anything!####
1. SBF or nand restore to stock 2.3.4 (if on completely unmodified and fully bloated stock 2.3.4 skip to step 2)
2. Apply 2.3.5 (412 build) in stock recovery after placing on external sd card root and renaming update.zip (reboot phone and hold down volume, press down arrow until you see android recovery, press up volume button, when on next screen press both volume buttons at same time. Wipe cache and flash update.zip)
3. Root using zergrush (with phone unpluged unzip and open zergrush program....make sure unknown sources in applications is checked and that debuggung is checkmarked. I also checkmark stay awake as zergrush recommends setting screen timeout for ten minutes. Connect your phone and then check it is connected as charge only. Hit spacebar and then the phone will reboot after the zerglings lol find a way in and your rooted)
***Rootkeeper has caused issues with some roms aborting install.***
4. Install & then boot into bootstrap
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. Flash 2.3.5 based custom rom from removable sd card & reboot when done.

I know you can update via cheese cake to newer versions. I know Eclipse is off of the linked 2.3.5 which is 412 and I believe pepper's is the same. Please correct me if I am wrong.
There might be unknown issues if everyone starts flashing roms desinged for one build over other updates....is that what your refering to? Am I wrong about this?

Im trying to help a friend with his droid x2. We rooted it with dooms v4 zergrush before doing anything else, hadnt seen this tutorial yet. When trying to update to 2.3.5 it aborts, last line said E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip. Do we need to unroot to do this then root again? I did this because for eclipse rom it sais it needs rooted gingerbread, but step 3 of install is to root, so it confused me, I chose to root it first.
I tried unrooting and starting over, still wont work. Its wierd that it the OP it sais to do a BSR backup before starting but then step 4 sais to install bootstrap, Ill assume BSR is BootStrapRecovery, so if you need to have it to backup before starting why would you need to install it? Im a bit confused here. I have 2 rooted, unlocked bootloader x10s with MIUI so Im not a newbie but this is frustrating.

I have never used V4 zerg...use v3 as in instructions. You dont need to unroot. Are you flashing the 412 buil update in android stock recovery? After you install the 412 update you will need to reroot....DONT USE ROOTKEEPER...If you fallow the instructionas as wrote you will have no issues that also includes using the mentioned rooting program as well.
I would suggest at this point SBF and start from step one and/or unroot 2.3.4 and start from step one using everything in the OP as instructed to the T.
If you cant get it your not following the instructions.

So I asked the other day about which rom would be best for a noob like me, in this thread to be exact: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483712 and although most said Eclipse, I had a few people saying CM7 since it is based off of 2.3.4 and I would not have to SBF to try it and so on... So that sounded good to me and I made up my mind to try out CM7 and start out the easiest way possible, heh. So I got started and was following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21342515 downloaded all the files and what not and sat on them for a day before trying anything... cause I was sure I would screw something up... and I feel like I have...
So heres what I did. I read number 1 was NANDROID BACKUP! So I go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083 which says to perform a backup I must be rooted. Now this conflicted with the original thread I had read, but I went ahead and rooted it anyways. Followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315711 and everything went fine. I rooted my phone. But I was already worried because I am not sure if I was supposed to do some kind of back up before rooting... but its a little late for that now.
So now that I am rooted I go back to the original CM7 thread and go ahead and perform the backup which goes fine. Now, at this point I assume I move on to number 5 on that list, because I shouldnt have to root again, correct?
So number 5 states: 5. Put both the Google Apps zip, the CM7 zip, and dragonzkiller's patched BSR apk on your EXTERNAL sd card. I go and get my files and put them on the External SD card (or so I thought). I then move to number 6 that says go into Bootstrap recovery, which I do fine, then move on to the next one that says Install CM7.zip but I cant find it. I see google apps and tethering but nothing about just CM7.zip. Go back to later in the post under downloads and make sure I have everything that is there. I made sure all of this is on my EXTERNAL SD card:
Patched BSR APK for ALL versions of CM7DX2
Google Apps (market, maps, YouTube, etc.) MD5 Sum: e4313eb28b65758bff0cf63bc1a404f5
Tethering Patch for CM7DX2-beta1
REFLASH THE GAPPS AFTER UPGRADING IN CASE OF FACTORY RESTORE
Cyanogenmod 7 for the Motorola Droid X2 - BETA MD5 Sum: 789f25244e475901048e0d0e5908b5a4
I try to click the Patched BSR file, but it doesnt install anything, so I go to install the google apps and tethering assuming CM7 is in there some where... reboot and get stuck in a boot loop. Yeah, I am surprised too I am learning what all these terms mean, lol.
So I didn't know what to do, so I ripped off my Otterbox case and pulled the battery and went back and found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083 and I performed a restore and got my phone to boot back up.
So this is where I am now. I really don't know where to go from here. Am I still rooted? Did I screw up by rooting first? The instructions were really confusing for a noob and I tried to make sure I knew what I was doing before I started and I still managed to screw it up. I am not really worried that I screwed up the phone... seems to be working fine as is, and if I am stuck I guess I can just leave it like this till November when I upgrade... But I would really like to get some help and see if anyone out there could hold my hand and get me thru this and let me know where I went wrong. I am up for continuing... but I need to be clear before I do anything else. I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it... Thanks so much for your time if you made it this my rambling...
Well first of all do you have Superuser in your app tray?

You did a data wipe in android recovery! If so you need to reroot
Then install our bootstrap recovery,
You already have the files on your card so find them in file manager, boot into bsr, flash cm7, while still in bsr flash gapps. Data/cache/dalvi= wipe
Reboot will take you into cm7, install the patched bsr. Apk inside some file managet program.... Enjoy
from my X2 roaming the north
I wasnt clear on if you got the CM7.zip file cleared up and got it to show up in recovery. That needs to be flashed first. The bootstrap.apk isnt installed in recovery. You install that after you get CM7 up and running. Just go to any file manager and click it. It should ask if you want to install it. The process should be, from stock android:
1. Root your phone
2. Install regular bootstrap (not CM7 bootstrap) EDIT: Actually I think this installs when you root. I dont remember, its been so long. lol. If not, find it and install it.
3. put zip files on your sd card
4. In Booststrap recovery, wipe data, clear cache and under "advanced", clear dalvik cache.
5. Flash CM7 zip FIRST, THEN google apps zip (Probably the tether patch here too, but I never did it so dont take my word on that.)
6. Reboot (CM7 SHOULD boot up)
7. Install the CM7 Bootstrap for future flashing.
You should be good after that.
Just to make things clear, the name of the CM7.zip is this:
update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip
So, when they say to install the CM7.zip file, that is the file you want to look for.
Here are the files you should have for CM7 and the order they need to be flashed in:
update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-daytona-KANG-public-beta1.zip (Again, this is the mentioned "CM7.zip" file)
gapps-cm7dx2-signed.zip (This is the Google Apps zip)
CM7DX2-beta-tether-patch-signed2.zip (This is the tether patch)
Once you are in CM7, that is when you want to install the MOTODX2_Bootstrap-CM7_signed.apk BSR.

Once you've flashed those files, clear the cache/data reset and clear the dalvik cache (located in the Advanced menu under BSR) and then reboot.

I thought you were supposed to wipe data and cache and all that before flashing. Doesnt wiping it after flashing wipe the stuff you just flashed? Or does it not really matter? I always clear data/cache BEFORE flashing anything.

You're right. Most of the time, you clear that out BEFORE you flash. I went ahead and removed that instruction so as to not confuse him.

Your restore has root. Since you used root to install the recovery, your backup includes the necessary files. Sometimes instructions can be confusing or worded oddly. Once you get the hang of it, it will be easier. First thing you should do is enter our recovery and format data, cache, and dalvic (in the advanced section), then flash your cm7 zip. After, flash gapps and tether patch. I like to put my zips in their own folder so I can find them easily.

Wiping only removes user apps. You can flash cm7 then wipe all day and you will still have cm7 that's why sbf's are necessary.

Sounds like you used the patched bsr to try and flash cm7. That should be installed after cm7 is running on your phone. Should have used the unpatched bsr first.

Yeah, I think I will be able to figure it out with all of your help. I have been busy and not had a chance to get to it yet... but I was wondering if I should start from scratch, un-root and re-root? I was not sure if that is necessary, but I am gonna try again this weekend and wasn't sure. I did want to ask, is it hard to un-root your phone?

SBFing will remove the root because it returns your phone back to stock. It's a complete wipe of ANY changes you've made to the phone.
If you want to ensure that you remove any traces of rooting, flashing, modifications, SBFing will do that.
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

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.
EDIT: By the way 2.3.5 is rootable, I don't know why anyone would do the long method anymore. Just saying. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818758

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

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

Regarding dragonzkiller's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912280 on [ROM][ALPHA][JB]CyanogenMod 10 Alpha 3 for the Droid X2. I've rooted two devices, the OG Droid and my X2 so I'm not unfamiliar with the process but some of the items I need to get CM 10 on my X2 I'm not sure where to find. In the article it's said I need the following:
-Install the BSR (patched if on an AOSP based ROM, unpatched if on BLUR)
-Reboot into the BSR
-NANDROID
Where can I find BSR and NANDROID? I have Rom Manager and Titanium Backup Pro on my X2 currently. Rom Manager never reboots into recovery for me for some reason and TB Pro does but I don't see an option to select NANDROID.
Any help would be really appreciated! I'm tried of running 2.3.5 all this time.
Dont use ROM manager for that kind of stuff. Best not to use it at all with the Droid X2 actually. The BSR IS the recovery for the X2. It can be found in the CM7 thread. And a nandroid is just a backup of your ROM that you make yourself within the recovery. Its not a file provided. Its a good idea to backup your ROM before installing stuff. That way you can restore it if things go wrong.

Thank you for the reply jsgraphicart.
Good to know on Rom Manager, never has worked right.
I'll go look in the CM7 thread for the BSR, now that you say what it is I might actually have that somewhere after reading when it initially became available.
So if TB Pro can get me into recovery what else do so I can do a nandroid backup? I don't see an option to do that?

You are probably booting into the stock recovery, which doesnt have that option. You need to install the custom recovery (BSR) to do that.

And I get the BSR from the CM 7 thread correct? Once I have that file how do I get that installed and does it wipe my phone before I get a chance to save it as is?
Thank you for your patience and help by the way!

Yes, get it from the CM7 thread. Just install it like you would install an app from your SD card. Its the same thing. Use a file browser app and navigate to the apk file then tap it. It will walk you through the rest. Once you have it installed you will have the app in your app drawer called system recovery or something like that. Open it and follow the directions to get into BSR. You have to have your phone plugged into an outlet though. Even though it says plug your phone into nothing. If your are on CM10, you need a file called hijack.zip and will have to place that in a certain location before using BSR. Check out the CM10 thread. The last few posts were talking about that. And the file was posted on the last page. I hope I'm not forgetting anything.

I'm sorry to ask more questions but I'm finally ready to update and I'm getting an error. First thing I'm wondering is this is one of those things where I have to be on 2.3.4? I'm on 2.3.5.
The error is:
assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0
E:Error in /sdcard/cm10.zip
(Status 7)
Are you running CM on your X2? Why is there so little available for the X2?

I had a feeling you'd say that. Well, know what I need to do now.
Thanks again for all the assistance on this! I should be on my way now.

Well I'm here again asking/begging for assistance. I've been trying all afternoon to get back to 2.3.4 without no luck. Each time I use the CW7 recovery to apply the older ROM it just sits on installing. I'm at a loss, I've even factory reset the thing.

Got to 2.3.4 finally but trying CM10 or the new AOKP build 6 I keep getting messages about signature verification failed. I feel like I'm so close! If I could just get past this latest error.
you flash SBFs with rsd lite
or use ezSBF
if on stock 2.3.4, install bsr/system recovery not cm7 bsr
once rom is installed use cm7 bsr
watch tomsgt's videos

I should have wrote back last night but it got late, I think I ended up at the same result as you posted. That's again, I think I finally got a handle on this.
Hey there me again. It's there an equivalent of the CM7 bsr for CM10?
use cm7 bsr

I tried that, never seems to boot into it. I get it installed and says it was successful but when I hit boot into recovery it just goes to the Motorola screen and freezes.
normally even using reg bar on stock
I connect charger after phone has shut down

Wish I could say I wasn't plugging in as well but I am. So basically it should be working for me but it's not.
