Well i installed clockwork i think that's what's it called. My brain fried this afternoon. Anyways. Im having problems after install. Everytime i reboot my phone it automatically reboots to clockwork. So i have to end up hitting reboot again. So is there a fix to this or? I have bootstrap installed does that affect it when it reboots? I've search the forums and.no luck. Thx

Try reinstalling Bootstrap app.
IMO I like that it does that..if something happens with your phone ide, much rather have it booting up into a recovery that I can nandroid from... then having it go to a bad android install

Clockwork recovery and bootstrap. Should i have both or just bootstrap?
Both
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm pretty sure that Clockwork Recovery only shows up if you booted your phone and the Android OS never loaded. As in, if you get stuck on the M logo or get a boot loop, or if you just pull your battery before you load up Android, then Clockwork will show up next time your phone boots since the file created when booting initially will still be there. Yet, if you boot up into Android, the file is deleted and a reboot at that point will simply reboot the phone normally.
I remember reading that the file is created on boot, then deleted once you get to Android. If you never boot up into Android for any reason, then the file isn't deleted. As a result, a reboot with the file still there will cause Clockwork to come up.
I was having the same issue as OP. It got annoying when I was trying out some new boot animations and such. I'm glad it's working alright, but I didn't need to constantly see it for no reason lol. I think the problem was that I was rebooting too early. I just tried this whole process just now and Clockwork came up even though I booted into Android. I tried it all again but waited a while this time. I gave Android time to load up all of my widgets, etc., then I rebooted. Clockwork didn't come up the second time, so I think that was the issue. Whatever process that deletes the file probably wasn't given a chance to do so the first go around.

Ok so here's what happended I used boot animation to change my boot screen. Since then everytime I reboot my phone it goes to the clockworkmod recovery screen and i'll have to select reboot system now to get the phone to boot right. Tried a restore if the phone and still does it. Also tried to repair permissions through rom manager. Any ideas of what to do?
Thanks!

This is one of the problems of having to bootstrap the recovery. If it really bothers you that much you could try SBFing.

Is this stock or a custom rom?
Have you tried getting your boot screen back to its original form?
I finally got my "Alltel Bee" rooted last nite using super one click. Before I roll out any custom roms etc, I'd like to make sure I get a backup, and my phone is hanging on the alltel logo whenever I try to boot into recovery (whether I boot in from Rom manager or from Hboot.) I always end up pulling the battery and rebooting the phone.
I do have an idea as to how I got to this point, and I have only myself to blame, but in my frustration of trying to root this thing I did try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743289 and recovery has hung like this ever since.
I've got root now, and have installed Rom manager, used that to flash clockwork recovery, yet I still have the issue. After a few google searches, I've seen some suggest that fixing file permissions can fix this, and I've done that as well with no change.
Where do I turn next?
So after some more searching and reading and such, I've discovered that even though I have root access, booting into HBOOT shows S-ON still. Could this be the issue in my inability to get a recovery written? Anyone know how to deal with it?
How do you know it is a hang in recovery? If you see the triangle and nothing happens, just click the power button once and usually you will land in the recovery mod menu.
I don't get the triangle at all. I get the initial Alltel logo and that's it. I've waited several minutes before pulling the battery before, but I don't get to the triangle or the menu.
Super one click will only do a temp root. There are no hard roots for the bee that i am aware of. DO NOT TRY UNREVOKED AS IT IS FOR THE BUZZ AND COULD YOUR BEE OR A FROYO BUZZ

Doh! Thanks, I guess I'll wait patiently. (My network switches from Alltel to AT&T inside of 2 months, at which time I'll be provided an Aria.)
Still, it would be nice to customize this thing a bit before it turns into an mp3 player

willing to help
just starting out. complete noob
But if i can help in any way let me know. in the same boat as the original poster. our section of Alltel is being acquired by at&t and switching to the aria. but would love to help any way i can
Would love to get my "bee" rooted to play with it some more to get familiar with it all
Just got through doing a romdump. Which files do you want?
I am also having this issue... has anyone successully extracted a recovery image for the bee?
I've rooted my Droid X with Z4 and made a nandroid backup.
I then installed ApeX 1.30 and everything works great.
The issue is - when I take my phone off it's charger each morning and turn the phone on it boots into Clockwork Recovery - every single day and I must manually press the camera button to select "reboot now" - then all is well.
It ONLY does this when it's on the wall charger - not during regular reboots or on/off cycles.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Droid X Bootstrap Recovery - tried battery pulls - tried combos of the above. Tried just launching Bootstrap recovery - then turned the phone off and did a battery pull. Same old thing - every time the phone comes off the charger and its turned on - it goes straight to Clockwork Recovery and I have to manually select reboot - then all is well.
It's not a show stopping issue - but it's just annoying enough that I'd like to get it fixed.
Any tips/suggestions/hints would help. I've searched and can't seem to find an answer that works. Thanks in advance!
My only advise, learn to love it. Seriously. It happens to me as well but, its a small price to pay to have recovery. If you're ever in a bootloop it will be great!!!

It's not a bug, it's a feature. (seriously)
It is a valuable feature. When you turn off your X and put it on the charger the phone boots to the charging screen not the OS. The recovery looks at this like an unsuccessful OS boot and on the next boot it activates the recovery.

He is totally right, I wish my DX did that.
Here's a fix for this minor annoyance, open bootstrap app, click bootstrap recovery, then ok on the pop up and voila, no more booting into clockwork.
And if you get stuck in a bootloop there's no guarantee it will boot into clockwork whether you have it to or not. Always run through troubleshoot options...battery pull, stock recovery, update zip, and finally SBF.
That's actually a very good thing. Don't get mad at it
Mine is doing the same thing even when its not on a charger. Every day I m in recovery mode. Im trying to fix it on a defferent thread not having much luck. Using root explorer to fix the issue but no luck. Im only rooted and do not have bootstrapper installed. My thread is a few above this one. Now I know that's its not a big issue but I still don't want it.

I had helped another guy who posted in here (spacecase) and I got his problem resolved. As everyone else in here has said...the fact that it always boots into recovery is great! If you TRULY want to get rid of it... Follow my instructions in the thread I have a link to above.
Good luck
My DroidX always enters bootstrap recovery mode everytime i turn it on or reboot. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I ever had the same issue and then flashing the SBF cleared the problem. But that's the time when I haven't injected the RUIM. Since I'm not on Verizon, i'm afraid that if I do that again my injected number will lost. Is there any solution for it?

Dude, are you kidding me? I don't want grace. I want the bootstrap recovery to appear only when i need it to appear.
So is this what happens when I flash the ROM that already has bootstrap recovery feature inside? Coz i'm using Liberty 1.5 right now. So you're telling all people using Liberty experience this?

I think there's no any checkboxes in the toolbox. I'll try looking for it in the Liberty setting
From the home screen hit menu, settings, Liberty settings. Then unchecked the one that says to go into recovery everytime.
With the nature of the bootstrap it is better that it is booting to it. And you will think the same when something goes wrong and you can't load a recovery. Remember there is no way to boot into recovery by holding a key like other phones.
Got it, dude, and it still goes into recovery even though I have unchecked the option.
I wonder if the ROM got bugs because i got some FC in the Liberty setting even after I reflash the ROM and got the fresh Liberty toolbox from the Market. Damn this thing just start p#@*%g me off.
Easy fix. Someone helped me when mine was doing it. Get or go into an app called root explore. Open it up and go all the way to the bottom and click on system then bin then at the top of the screen click where it shows RW it then should show RO then scroll down and find "hijack" long press and delete then scroll down and find "bootloger" delete that then the next one is bootloger.bin long press it and rename it to just bootloger just get rid of .bin and your done. Just remember to use bootstrap to get back into recovery when you need to.

Why are you even rebooting your phone enough for this to bug you? I reboot my once probobly once every three days just for fun, i dont experience any slowdowns or anything its just me deciding why not.. You make it sound like you reboot your phone voluntarily every hour or something for no reason
Secondly yes, bootstrap on reboot is a blessing not a curse... What happens if you start liberty up and you get a CONSTANT force close that does not go away and keeps coming up no matter how many times you click close?? Your phone will be INOP and you wont be able to do ANYTHING or even get to the manual bootstrap menu.. therefore having to SBF.. WAY better to have an available bootstrap whenever you need it automatically
I've done this about three times and never had a problem I got this information from someone that I trust and knows more about this stuff then I will ever know. Its not hurting anything. I can still get back into recovery through bootstrapper every time with no problems. I wouldn't post this if it would mess up anyones phone. After you do this you need to use bootstrapper to get back into recovery but you can
Someone helped me with a problem and im just trying to pass on what I've learned. Just to make sure it doesn't hurt anything I just did it to my phone and used bootstraper to flash apex on my phone with no issue.

So what happens when you screw something up and get bootloops? Difficult to access bootstrapper when you can't get past the boot animation or even boot logo.
The point of it starting first is in the event of said bootloops you can get into clockwork and restore. From what I understand if you turn off your phone you wait about 30 or so seconds and when you turn on your phone it will skip clockwork, it only pops up when you do a battery pull or if you shut down and power back on right away.
Why are you turning your phone on so much for it to be a pain? I reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days and it doesn't bother me one bit. If you're complaining against measures that are there for your benefit then I don't know what to say... Deal with it.
It works for me. I've had boot loops and have always been able to get in recovery. So is he just supposed live with it. I do turn my phone off ever night I like to give my phone some time off and by doing that I've never had to replace a battery. We all do things differently. He can do what I've showed him or not its up to him.

Easy, boys. I appreciate the replies. The reason is I just dont like having to meet bootstrap option everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it. I never have bootloop even until now with this DX, even if I do, it's me who have to deal with it. So you see? The why-question is all about me. No offense but lets just stick to the how-question.
@spacecasespiff
So how do you go to bootstrap if you have bootloop?
I've had two bootloops the first was when my phone was doing what yours is doing do I did a batt pull and the recovery screen came up so all was good. The second tine was with liberty and that one a batt pull did nothing so I went to the forums and found out about holding the power button and the home button down and it put you on a different screen sorry I can't remember what was on that screen. You then use the search button to navigate the screen. I can't remember what I had to choose but I think it brought me back to the recovery screen. Its been awhile since that happend so I could be wrong. Just search the forums for it. Obviouse if you have a bootloop you can't get into bootstrapper. But if you can use what I learned about the power and home button you can get things back.

Booting up the phone while holding the home and power button boots you into moto's stock recovery. Did u wind up doing a wipe data/factory reset perhaps?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Oh i see. I bet you just got to the DroidX original recovery then wipe it.
Well that's not so bad if you have bootloop eh?
So i guess have two choices here, using some ROM that doesn't have built in bootstrap recovery inside or applying the tutorial above to avoid the problem i have.
Problem solved then. Thanks everybody
Hey guys I need some help here. I just rooted my droid x and installed the koush recovery as stated in the noobs guide to the droid x. i was able to boot into recovery and clear my data and cache and I installed Gingerale 3.0.
Well I cant get wifi tethering to work so I need to install a WUG's patch. Problem is, I cant seem to boot into koush's recovery anymore. I installed it again on the new rom and tapped bootstrap recovery and it said success. Then I tapped reboot recovery and my phone rebooted. The M came up then all I get is black screen with the backlight on. I have waited 15 minutes and same thing. I have to pull the battery and reboot. I can not for the life of me figure out why I cannot boot into clockwork.
I could use some help. Thanks.

Try downloading ROM Manager from the Market. Once you open it up click Flash Recovery and select Droid X. Now try to boot into recovery from ROM Manager.
Thanks for the reply. I have done as you said and still no dice. The phone reboots, the M comes up then screen goes black with the backlight on and thats it. Any other ideas?
