I have really messed up. I cannot get into my phone at all. button reset starts after being plugged in for a few minutes then green light comes on when plugged in followed by, "Failed to Boot 1". Motorola of course shows but phone goes no further. We have tried everything we can think of including, all Verizon sbf's & intelos sbf's. Not sure what to do. My phone is a Motorola Droid X2 MB867.

Reinstall ddrivers, use latest rsd lite or sbf flash, reflash with Verizon android 2.3.4. Failed to boot 1 is a bootloader failure if I remember right. Keep trying till it boots.

I think I may be missing something; if I cannot get the phone to come on at all except for a couple of minutes when it states Failed to Boot 1, then how do I go about proceeding?

make sure its completely off then start the phone holding up on the volume rocker. that should bring it into rsd mode. if it wont stay on that usually means the battery is low and it needs to be charged before flashing. however it will not charge the battery in the state its in now.

If I had known you had the milestone x2 I would never have recommend red lite. It erases your carrier files which removes your ability to have a 3g data connection the only way to fix it is to go to your carrier and have them rewrite their files to it. However you need a fully functional stock ROM for that to work.

My phone started the day by not booting after a reboot. It stops at rethink possible and the screen will stay on forever and do nothing. If I swipe the fingerprint I get a double vibe like it didn't accept the scan. The only thing I have done to the phone is rooting it.
I did notice one thing this morning. I took it out of the laptop dock and the icon for the dock stayed there even after I then put it in the car dock. I then rebooted it because it had frozen and never came back up. Help!
At me too, my atrix was freeze on loading screen "rethink possible". That I wanted to make all before, to reboot it.
I tried to pull out a battery but unsuccessfully, always freeze on boot screen.
Please help me, i really don't know what i need to do.
And i can't call to motorola support because I live in Russia.

Your advice is sound. Many such bootloops can also be eliminated with a "fastboot -w"
Not really sure what specific changes in /data (some .db setting somewhere prolly) can cause it to barf on boot but it happens a lot, especially when switching builds (froyo->GB, etc)
Droid X2, preinstalled with 2.3.3 The phone belongs to a dear friend, and I've screwed it up apparently. I finally got it rooted via Visionary this morning, remarkably easy once I took the time to actually read. Quick and painless flash of Eclipse 0.5, and then onto apps, mods and 'pretties'. Well the last thing I tried to do before turning it back over to its owner, I tried to change the font. Apparently this is where I went wrong. It's been a soft brick ever since. It will load the "M Dual Core" screen, and that is absolutely it. I can navigate into recovery but whatever Nandroid I had created isn't showing up there. Please tell me there's something I can do, I've tried SBFand whatever, but I'm sure I'm not doing it right. I'd be willing to sling a few bucks your way if you were able to help get remedied. Thanks in advance. We can do text chat, or voice. I'll be home from work around 9pm Central Time. Thanks so much.
If you created a nandroid, you might not be able to find it because Eclipse 5 swaps the sd cards. Try again and you may find it in the opposite directory.
If you ate trying to this thru stock recovery (holding buttons when booting) then you won't be able to restore from there. At this point our only option is BSR, the thing you used to flash eclipse. To get there, power the phone off and then plug it into a wall charger. If it loads, you can do a wipe or restore from there.
You might also be able to wipe data from stock recovery.

What worries me is that I have noticed that when I flash eclipse after a data wipe it seems as though I have to go use system recovery app and press install recovery first again before I can get BSR to show up again with off phone plugged in. Hope this isn't what happen to OP or else sbf is only option.
And if u r sbf make sure on ur phone u r using power and vol up to get where u need to be to sbf. And plug phone into computer AFTER opening rsdlite.

I think that visionary root app is what may have him in a bind at the moment... He definitely needs to post where he got it and what he read to lead him to believe it would work... His only option, IMHO, is to sbf and go from there....

LOL! What you want me to post the whole tutorial for the guy here??? But can you really blame me??? I have become a full believer in SBF'ing for any issue I run into tho...
If "system recovery" is installed and "recovery mode" has been set(if only once) then a "battery pull" and a "plugging in" of the charger will trigger BSR. But not if "charge mode" was last cmd exec.
Batt pull may screw up dates when restoring, so it is best to set recov. mode each time needed.

Yeah, no sleep for 3 days, that's why I said that. I meant to say, the Pete Souza Method. But yeah I got it all fixed with DAG425's SBF Tutorial. It was probably the easiest to wrap my mind around, well thought out tutorial.
In a side note, regretfully I seem to have fallen for the X2....sorry HTC. lol

Just for others info, I believe you need a full cwm with unlocked bootloader in order to be able to flash kernels.
Yes you do. The bootstrap will only work with the P-Rom's like Laser, once you unlock bootloader you do need the custom CWM. Which is what I ended up having to install. Works good though. :]
What is the best way to flash mr5? Is there a guide? Thanks In advance

Follow those steps......Then when RSD asks to manually power up the phone do a battery pull and when powering back up HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN KEY till it boots into recovery. Then scroll down with the volume down key to "boot Android (no BP)" hit the volume up key. Let it do its thing. You should be up and working again.
These are the steps I used last night to solve the EXACT SAME problem you have....My device is now working again I just have to reactivate it when I take the loaner phone back later.

Most of it is cuz us noobs want to try stupid **** to see what we can get away with. That is why I did what I did yesterday, I was about 95% sure it would cause a problem but I chose to do it anyway.
So I have a new problem after restoring my device. Now I can't install any new apps from the market.every time I get the message "can't install ____ due to insufficient space on phone" of am at work now but I an gonna try to figure this out tonight.
Every time i plugin my phone It rellano me that battery is too low to flash. How do i charge It? It turns on every time to the fail to boot message

1) What does pull battery do?
2) Can you get into fastboot and scroll (vol down) to Android recovery? Sort of last resort but you could wipe and start over from there...
no i cant get into fast boot when i pull the battery it boots up and says failed to boot 2

Always pay attention. Tisk Tisk
You may have to take it to sprint and play the idiot card saying it rebooted on its on and been stuck so you can get a refurb.
There was a trick to do it by taking the red and black cables out of the connector and charging the battery.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
i cant really do that because my 3dvo messed up though not my fault to get the photon
also can u give me instructions on pulling wires out to charge the battery?
Cut old usb cord, pull your battery out attach the red to positive and black to negative. Charge using factory charger for 30 mins. Btw the battery on the photon makes it easy to do this.

Hey, I opened eclipse parts to open bootstrap recovery and once I pressed recovery mode it acted like it was going to reboot into it normally but it just hung on the red M screen and I had to do a battery pull to get my phone running again. What caused this this time? About a week ago I had to sbf to 2.3.4 and reroot 2.3.5 then I just restored a eclipse 2.2.1 backup. Since then I flashed eclipse 2.3 over it and everything has been fine. This is the first time I've tried entering recovery though, is something screwed up?
Edit: yup every time I enter recovery it freezes at the M. An no, clicking install recovery does not help even though it says install successful.

Hmm, not sure then. You are using the CM7 and not the standard BSR? If so then I'm all out of ideas. lol...all two of them.
Hmm, looks like all of this got covered in the Eclipse thread anyways. Well, I guess you are out of luck and need to SBF. It sucks, but if you have a recent nandroid then it's not the worst thing ever.
Yea when the Dev tells you to wipe... i guess you gotta wipe. Lol thanks for your input.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll get it sorted.
I had a simular issue with my droid x2 #5 (went threw 6 of them and said i had enough) but what i did was kept clicking install on the bootstrap it seemed to work i did it like 4 times. It also doesnt like to play nice with power strips sometimes. I also deleted the recovery using rootexplorer but i dont recommend that cause things can get all screwed up
Still having trouble?
This happened to me before a while ago.
I let it sit at the red M for what felt like forever and ur finally loaded BSR.
Yea, I've been told to do a wipe and start again but I just dont wanna do that so im hoping it will start working outta the blue lol. I'll try the new suggestions, thanks guys.

Yea i can definitely understand that
Just be patient with it
Make sure you have good amount of battery AND make sure you are defintly plugged into the wall outlet.
Also, make sure your charger isn't malfunctioning(plug in while phone is turned on, go to settings>Battery, make sure it says "Charging(AC)" and not "Charging(USB)" , I had the OEM charger that came with my x2 basically die on me and that's what happened before it croaked, it wouldn't recognize as being plugged.into a wall charger, and if the device doesn't see AC current coming in, it won't boot into BSR)
Another thing you can try to do is press charge mode within BSR app in Eclipse settings. Then reboot the device(reboot twice for good measure ) go back into settings,.eclipse settings,.bootstrap, and press install recovery(after it says.completed press it again a couple times just to be certain lol , let it tell you competed each time before you press it again) THEN plug phone into wall without leaving app, then press reboot recovery(or recovery mode,.sry.been a while i can't remember exactly what it says lol) and then walk away, go do the dishes or something or take a shower.
Hopefully that will get you in. Good luck!
You can also try doing a cache wipe from stock Android recovery. Never know, that might help, and you won't lose any data but doing that
