Do you have a dx2 droidx2 or a mx2 milestone x2?
Because if you have a dx2 and you installed cm10 for the mx2 instead of the 1for the dx2 then that would be the problem.
So it's either sd_shadows ez sbf or sbf in rsd your choice but ez=ez
don't be scared it's only a phone

yes, i missed the MX2 part, hopefully you made a nandroid
and the 1FF-daytona-user-2.3.5-45.0.25-111011-release-keys-signed-ntelos-US.sbf
works with your data
if your not sure
post your model (MB867 or MB870) and service provider, maybe someone can walk you through flashing

Is bootstrap recovery the same as clockwork recovery? Are they one and the same?
Also I'm on kernal 2.3.4 do I have to do anything special if I want to load a 2.3.5 rom?
Sorry I'm new to playing around with motorola phones.
I thought they were the same when I first started hacking my phone. But it turns out they are not the same.
As for updating your phone to 2.3.5, if you are on stock 2.3.4, all you need to do is root your phone, install bootstrap recovery and flash the 2.3.5 ROM using bootstrap recovery.
There is a nice guide someone put together in the dev. Section.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Basically, yes - those recoveries a almost the same. They are both used in the same way, which is to backup/restore, wipe data and flash a ROM. So there's no real difference.
As for the 2.3.4 kernel. SOME people can get away with flashing a 2.3.5 based ROM on their 2.3.4, others can't. Either way, I'd recommend just updating to 2.3.5 to safe. Plus (to me), 2.3.5 seems smoother and faster.
To Update to 2.3.5, just download the update.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/0ZT7FTOW0R
This is just the update file, so all you need to do is flash that, but I won't get into much about that.
If you need a guide on updating it, then you can look at this one right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391824
That's the one I used.
Ok so I'm currently on Molten 2.2 wich is a 2.3.4 romand was looking at liberty rom wich is 2.3.5 rom. So all I would need to do is just clear the needed data and flash it like any other rom?
The reason for asking about if it was clockwork was because in one of the roms the instructions says to use clockwork and I never saw a like to clockwork in the dev section
Yes I looked in the stickies first and these were just the questions that popped up that I didn't see the answer to it. I may have just over looked it but I figured I would ask before I borked my phone lol
looks like while I was writing a responce some one answered lol thank you all for your help
U don't need to root to install 2.3.5
It is signed by moto so we can flash in stock recovery
(actually that's how you SHOULD FLASH 2.3.5)
And our BSR is a hacked/ported cwm
To update to 2.3.5 you WILL need to be STOCK (you CAN be rooted but it will take away root when u flash it....just root again with zergrush...)

Just so you know, Liberty is a 2.3.4 rom. Have a look at the OP in that thread. If you're on Molten, just wipe data and cache and you should be set.
Hi, I just rooted my Droid X2 this morning on 2.3.4 and want to install Eclipse 2.0.2 and realized that have to be on 2.3.5. I saw this thread and was wondering if it was possible for me to just boot into bootstrap and flash 2.3.5 and install Eclipse 2.0.2 without having to SPF back to complete stock unrooted 2.3.4? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I also read somewhere that ROM manager does not work correctly with the DX2? If that is the case, what is the best alternative to this?

You must follow that thread to a T if you want to be on eclipse 2.02 or else it will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 same thread in post #3. Follow it and enjoy. If you try your own thing it will not work. A lot of hard work and a couple of days to figure out this method and it is the only way I got on 2.02 and loving it

There really is no alternative to rom manager for what it does. You HAVE to use bootstrap recovery
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
If your running the STOCK 2.3.4, then you do NOT need to SBF to a fresh version. This is whether your rooted or not. You'll only need to SBF to stock 2.3.4 if you installed a custom ROM on, like Molten, Liberty, etc.
Personally, I would recommend SBF'ing - but that's just because I like a fresh, clean start with these things. Eitherway, it'll work perfectly fine.
As for getting to 2.3.5, it's recommend that you use the "Android Recovery" that comes with it to flash the update. Once your on 2.3.5 you'll need to reroot and install BSR to get the custom ROM on.

Yes it can be done
BUT
For people who are just trying to follow the directions for the ROM install, they will end up having issues, because no where in the ROM install instructions, for any ROM we have, does it mention deleting SU backup made by root keeper. So if they try to just flash a ROM after rooting w/ root keeper, they will get an "installation aborted error line 294" & if they aren't able to restore a backup before rebooting then it's just going to be sbf time anyways lol.
If you know what you are doing tho and have read into it and found what you need to do of using root keeper to gain root, then yes, go for it, but the "average" user here is going to have no idea why they keep getting installation aborted, when they could just use zergrush and be all good to go
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
As it is, if I have to go to 2.3.5, I hold off rooting until AFTER I've updated to 2.3.5. No need to root if I'm sbfing to 2.3.4 and updating to 2.3.5. The root is only needed when I'm ready to install BSR and flash a custom ROM.
This is what I do:
SBF to 2.3.4
Apply 2.3.5 update
Root
Install BSR
Flash 2.3.5 custom ROM
Done
To me, Rootkeeper just seems to cause more hassles and it's just easier to root after I'm done updating to 2.3.5. No need to root at the 2.3.4 level.
Of course, if you are already rooted at 2.3.4 and want to update to 2.3.5, I can see that, but Rootkeeper has been proven to cause issues and it just creates more work to avoid those issues.

good luck
I was trying to restore my phone back to my stock rooted rom. I was able ot get into safestrap and go thru the data wipe, cache wipe, format system then wiped delvik cache as I was told by a freind. (hope this is right) Well after all that i found that the backup a had created months ago isn't there any more. So I selected to rreboot system. Got safestrap splash screen then nothing. Phone won't boot past the safestrap screen. So I figured I could just find and load a stock rooted rom. I have a few questions though...
The link posed above had 3 files for the razr mmxx. Are these files for use with RSD lite? Where can i find the files to load onto my sd card and then restore from? Can i just load my SD card with the zip and install?
Also, I'm starting to get interested in custom roms.. do I need to go thru and do all those wipes and formatting before I can restore a new rom?
Thanks in advance for the help and sorry in advance for the noobness.
love my razr

Just flashed hacksungs ics and wifi will not connect at all. Tried it on both build 2 and build 5, coming straight from an sbf. I read somewhere that wiping cache and fixing permissions solves this but it didn't. Fascinate is my old phone so I apologize if there is a simple solution to this, Motorola is a whole other demon..
Here's my process: sbf + install recovery (cwm4), root with oneclick, wipe data/cache, flash ROM and gapps.

Forgot to mention it's not a hardware thing, wifi is just fine when I go back to stock.

Something about your process doesn't seem quite right but I'm, not entirely sure what you are doing due to not being familiar with what an SBF is.
In any case I can tell you a few things:
Youshouldn't have to manually root. ICS ROMS come pre-rooted. Maybe something there is causing a conflict.
THS builds 2 and 5 are OLD. They may or may not still be recommended as an intermediate flash but I know THS is on at least B10 now. Personally I'd ercommend AOKP B38 but that's a person decision.
Also, make sure you are Odin-ing the correct MTD firendly CWM. It should be available in the THS threads.
Finally, THS doesn't really come round these parts no more. That ROM is based on rootzwiki and you may find betetr assistance and more THS users there.
Lastly, and most importantly, follow THIS GUIDE. It is tried and true and has worked for a ton of people learning on this phone.
My bad sbf must be a moto term - set back factory (Odin.) The root occurs before I flash the ROM while I'm still on froyo. Where can I find newer builds? Rootz only had up to 5 unless it was an old post or something. THS seems to be a pretty simple install which is why I'm not sure what's causing this, especially the same problem with multiple builds.

I just rooted my DX2, i intended to use rom manager to flash/backup my roms but that was not working. So i downloaded bootstrap (the little green arrow icon) and used that to make a backup of my stock system and then used titanium backup to backup all my apps.
What i wanted to know is when i finally install a new rom and do a data wipe how do i recover everything if it starts me with a clean phone? do i just reinstall titanium and bootstrap and will SU still be installed?
Also can you point me to a good guide on installing CM9 to my DX2?
Thank you,

A couple of things. What system version are you on? 2.3.4 or 2.3.5? Also Rom Manager doesnt work for us (as you know now.) Are you using the BSR from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083 ?
When you install a ROM yes you reinstall the BSR (but if you are going on CM7-9-10 then you need the CM7 patched BSR once on the ROM.) and then Redownload Titanium Backup. All your backups are stored on your external card so a wipe doesnt get rid of them. Once titanium is loaded back up it will find them.
A rom comes rooted so SU and everything is part of the package. Install instructions for ROMS are on the original page of the ROMS. Just note that if you are on 2.3.5 the only ROM that will work for you is Eclipse. All the other ROMs are 2.3.4 based.

Eclipse is a very stable and clean ROM. I used it for a long time. CM7 is also stable and a.lot.more customizable but you will need to SBF to 2.3.4 to get on it. Both eclipse and CM7 are gingerbread roms. Cm9, MIUI, AOKP Paranoid Android are ICS and CM10 is jellybean.
