Sorry if this is the wrong subtopic to post this in... I wasn't completely sure.
Here is the scenario:
Droid X
Rooted
Froyo 2.2
No Clockwork
Can't get to a point where I can get RSD to recognize my device.
Tried factory reset
Tried to "update.zip" it.
It will boot up to the "M" screen then just do nothing.
What is the likelihood of un-bricking this?
Solution. [I cannot add a link to an external link] found it over on droid forums
well if factory resets and the update.zip doesnt work, sounds like your only option is to rsd back to 2.1 stock.
same thing happened to me! I was ****ting bricks till I figured it out. Overall pretty simple, just reflashed the phone with the .sbf file.

I just want to remove the clockworkmod recovery to regular or stock recovery? I found the info for EVO 4g and it said not to use for anything else. Could someone, please tell me how to remove clockworkmod recovery and change it back to stock?
First- this applies if you are on 2.2 ota- not 2.1 or leaked 2.2
The easiest way now might be simply starting from scratch. The 2.2 ota sbf was released last night so you can use it to restore your phone to factory state. You will need the SBF and the latest version of RSDLite. Google...
VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01
and something should come up. It is a large file. 430mb or so. (unzipped)
Also google rsdlite 4.8 it is not a very large file. I have never done the sbf before- but there is a guide on the droid x rootzwiki...
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html
WARNING!!! make sure you are using the FULL SBF for 2.2! there is a sytem sbf for 2.2 that you don't want and there is the 2.1 sbf that you definitely don't want.
There may be just a simple uninstall- but I don't know how. I am a newb. Maybe a veteran will chime in with some help?
Thank uou.
I was able to do that lastnight. before I got home from work, I downloaded SBF file with myDX. It took me an hour. By 8:00 pm my phone was rooted again without clockwork mod.

Cool. Since I have never done it before- did you just follow the rootzwiki guide? And was it pretty straight forward? And- how long once you actually started RSDLite did the process take (assuming you used RSDL)?
thanks.
It wasn't painful. I used rsd lite 4.8. I searched for info on 4.8 but everything is on 4.7, even on rootzwiki . On 4.7 you are suppose to move an .ini file to another place. I saw a similar file but without the .ini extension. I thought maybe this is one of the improvement of 4.8 over 4.7. You also have to do the bootloader thing. The whole process took about less than 10 minutes. I was surprised that nothing on the phone was erased other than titanium backup. Wallpaper and Launchpro's settings were still intact.
I downloaded rom manager and bootstrap on my droid x. I downloaded flyx rom and then after it was suppose to apply it after it booted, it became stuck on the logo, going from the "droid to red eye" over and over until I pull the battery. So every time I turn it on it does the same thing. I then tried to wipe my phone by putting it into recovery mode. It says can't open/cache/recovery/command. I tried to figure out the rsdlite solution but I couldn't figure out or find a good explanation on how to use it. My bootloader is 30.04. If there is an answer to this in this forum any where please point me to it.
flyx is an ancient rom for older version of android.
if doing a factory reset doesnt help, i suggest sbf. instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2
Ok thanks, I thought I knew what I was doing but i'm pretty positive i failed ...I'll try this out then.
you're welcome. if you need any help with sbf or anything, dont hesitate to ask.
A month go I installed the leaked Gingerbread. everything has been fine until I decided to get back to Froyo for the OTA. Rooted this morning through Gingerbreak. Still OK. Made a back up through Bootstrapper. Booted into recovery and installed .zip from sd card. Used Maderstock zip. it made it through almost the entire process then when it got to update Radio it aborted. I cleared all the cache and data and all...still nothing. Hit reboot and now it is stuck in bootloop at the droid logo. The font with the circles under the "r" Can not hold home and power to get into recovery. can not turn on phone at all. only get charge screen when plugged in (and yes I was 90-100% charged when attempting this) and red moto logo goes black when attempting recovery boot.
I assume I need to SBF through RSD Lite. Problem is- It wont recognize my device. (yes I have downloaded the Moto drivers.)
At this point I am totally stumped. Noob here, but with LOTS of research and reading over the last weeks.
Help?
check out how to sbf using a linux virtual machine. You can just boot it up within windows. As far as I know, you will not need the drivers for this to work.
Try this. Hopefully it helps.

After weeks of reading forums and posts, I have successfully SBFd my phone back to stock Froyo. I wish I could remember everyones names from every post I read, and thank them personally, but a BIG THANK YOU to the Android community and to anyone that has offered their time and service to helping out. THANK YOU ALL! My experience as little as it might be might now be valuable to others as well.

Many thanks to all those that have spent countless hours helping users like myself find solutions to Droid X problems. At one point in this process I basically bricked (maybe soft briked is the term) my phone. I could do nothing but get a bootload screen. No moto logo, no droid eye, NOTHING.
Long story short, and to help anyone that needs it, here is my solution.
Download FULL SBF file from file share somewhere (VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf)
Download RSD Lite 4.8
Download Moto Drivers
Power Off Droid X- Make sure it is fully charged when attempting any SBF Flashing.
Power on into Bootload mode. I held Power and Volume rocker simultaneously until a quick flash then Bootload appeared. (version 30.4)
Open RSD Lite as an administrator. (hold shift and right click. use "run as") In my case Windows 7 -64bit
Plug phone into computer via USB
Locate device in RSD. Click the little box that has "..." in it and select the SBF file you previously downloaded.
Start.
Let it work its entire process and Voila you will have stock Froyo back on your phone in no time.
I then went in under settings and received the OTA for Gingerbread. My phone works like a champ now.
The steps are clear as day in my head, and I will be able to troubleshoot many of you through the steps. The further from today it gets it might get foggier, so ask away if you are having problems.
It seems like everything had to be VERY specific to work just right.
Good luck and happy Bricking! :/
It happened to more people than you think. I DLed RSD 4.9, 4.8 didnt work for some reason. That was like a month ago, I'm on froyo now, rooted with Liberty. Now I have to SBF again to get the official GB...lol!
My story the same just different thread, (soft bricked) lol my phone, all i got was the bootloader, on win7 64bit as well, only thing different was ive my win7 tuned up to my preferences so i didnt have to ask or run as anything. The steps used in this thread were identical however and many many hours of reading done as well. Just putting this info up here to let you know that you can get your dead bootloading phone back so even though it feels like you have a bowl of something nasty in your stomach as you stare at your DX with nothing but a bootload screen on it and seemingly no other options, read thoroughly, pay attention, be specific and youll have your DX running like a champ in no time. THANK YOU Devs/Community
Hey all,
Bit of a sticky situation. Tried to flash 2.3.3 from the link below on my Droid 2, and unfortunately, it didn't go well. I installed ClockworkMod Recovery, rooted the phone, made a Nandroid backup and proceeded to flash a 2.3.3 ROM. The installation aborted and I thought hell to it, I'll just reboot into Froyo.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...id-2-gingerbread-2-3-3-release-prerooted.html
Then the trouble began.
My Droid now boots into absolutely nothingness. It has the "M" splash come up for all of a second or two and then nothing. The screen is live, but it's completely blank. Trying recovery mode (Power+X) heeds the same result. I can get into the bootloader with Power+UP, but I'm not sure what I can do? It complains the battery is too low which really stings, because I'm not sure if the Droid 2 charges its battery when off... :/ I hope it does.
Please, can anyone help here? I hope to hell my Droid 2 isn't bricked - I got this handset second hand and cannot afford another.. Clockwork Recovery has a backup somewhere, it's just a matter of recovering it. I hope?
It sounds like you bricked your phone.
Follow the instructions below on the droid-life website and you should be back up and running. I added the updated Motorola drivers and RSDLite 5.5. The SBF file on the droid life website will put you back at 2.2 so you phone will boot

RSDLite 5.5 - http://www.4shared.com/file/no12cF9K/RSDLite55.html
Download the Motorola 5.2.0 Driver with Motohelper and install from the link below

Thank you for replying
I just tried what you suggested and unfortuately, I get the error "Phone is not compatible with multi-interface super-file." Having read about I cannot find a definite solution - any ideas? :/
Update!!
As events conspired against me all night I found a download for a UK British .sbf file. RSDLite took the file and flashed my phone no problem - all is fixed (I hope!!)
fatalfuryy you sir are a gent for providing those links - I thank you wholeheartedly.
Night before last my Droid X was upgraded via OTA from Froyo 2.2.1 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 , at which I lost my Root. So I started searching YouTube for videos on taking my phone back to Froyo. And I found just what I was looking for. Return your Droid back to Froyo. So I followed the instructions to the letter, I downloaded - RDS Lite 4.9 - Motorola Helper_2.1.40_5.5.0 - VRZ_M810_2.3.34_IFF_01 . According to RSD Lite the flash was successful. Droid X reboots, and this is what I was left with.
Bootloader
30.04
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank

I have tried SBFing twice and RSD Lite sees the phone, goes thru the flash, reboots the phone but I get the same responce on the phone as stated above. Although in my computer, the Droid is not detected.
In your opinions, have I done an unrecoverable bricking to my Droid?
Go ahead, I can take it.
TIA
I used 4.5.621 SBF file, and was able to bring my phone back to the way it was before I got in a bind (Droid X SBF Files - Motorola SBF Files). It is alive with all of my Apps, so I'm not sure just what happened to it. But to whoever is responsible for the web site, I think P3 Thanks
Great job on getting back to .621.
Unfortunately, being on .621 makes it impossible to flash back to Froyo.
However, you can root and install custom roms.

yeah I know, but at this point I'm just happy to have my phone back in good working order. I had just bricked my Droid X2 @ 2 weeks ago, so now I don't have to face my wife with another $200.00 paper weight.
I have the same issue. Someone pointed me to this forum so I'll just include my text.
So I just got my first droid yesterday, it's a droidx from motorola. I initially factory reset it and cache cleared and it was working like a charm. Anyways, today I got the idea after reading over cyanogenmod following these instructions. Since I didn't have much on it I didn't backup. I remember vaguely updating the system previous to this, I think I was at 2.34. Anyways, I get done with flashing it- as far as I know it was successful- rdslite said it was complete. I try to do another factory reset, can't get into it. Just the bootloader comes up saying : Bootloader30.04 Err:A5,70,70,00,1F and a few things about to plug usb in and that it needs service...
I see something on cyanogen's page that I overlooked before:
WARNING: The 2.3.4 OTA release, the bootloader was patched to version 30.04. If an attempt is made to downgrade to an earlier version through the SBF method below, the bootloader will throw an error and the phone will not boot.
FLICK.
I tried the 1kds cd and it says it installed properly, I turn it on only to see same bootloader issue. I tried another rom and same thing. The last one I used was apparantly a 2.34 one and now my phone says code corrupt on the bootloader screen.
I need to find a way to charge the battery. I feel bad because it was a present to me from my girlfriends sister, and I don't want to see her and tell her I broke it already
But, can you guys help me with this? I don't really know where to go from here.
Sbf
Sbf is the only way. And from what I understand if you did the. 621, you won't be able to do previous releases.
I could be wrong.
When it comes yo moto flashing, donkey skip reading anything lol
