Yes, but I had to be on WiFi to get it show up.
I got it! I'm doing a nandroid right now! The next few months are going to be very exciting!
Yep, worked fine for me (on wifi)
Success!! Only over WiFi.. impatiently waiting for a cooked up ROM without all the Bloat-ware. When can we gain access to at least 70% of the internal 4GB? Anyone??
worked great for me. back up complete. now to mess with stuff

Everytime i tell it too boot into recovery it just shows the little android guy with a triangle and exclamation and then reboots. I've installed bootstrap and run clockwork recovery. What am i doing wrong? last time i did this and was able to manually go into recovery but when i flashed a rom i just got stuck at motorola bootscreen and had to use sbf. Please enlighten me someone.
Ok.. i tried skipping clockwork and just booted into recovery through bootstrap.. Works. I try and flash a rom and the orange bar comes up and says it's installing. The bar never fully goes across but it says the installation is complete. When i try and reboot to try the rom i get stuck at the boot screen. Any ideas what is going on?

are you using 2.2? what ROM? you need to run the bootstrap once for it to work, and it will say clockworkmod installed is version 2.5.0.7 in ROMManager thats the bootstrapped version of clockwork mod.
then download the ROM, and don't touch anything after you hit the ok button on the screen that asks to backup current ROM and wipe user data. just let it work.
The system info says 2.1update1. I did as you described. I just used bootstrap to boot to recovery and tried flashing a rom and it does the same thing. Just sits at the motorola bootscreen. I'm gunna try my nandroid recovery to go back to the rooted stock rom.. I really don't know what to do from here though because neither way is working for me.
Also, my clockworkMod Recovery is v2.5.0.6 not .7. Maybe this is the issue? when i used rom recovery it said i had the most recent version. I'm Nandroiding right now which seems to be working.

you should update to version 2.2
check http://rootzwiki.com/ it has the files you'll need
ok. Thanks. Maybe this is the problem? I'm trying to flash a 2.2 rom and currently have 2.1 on my phone? So i've already done sbf back to 2.1 once last night. I'm assuming this procedure is pretty much the same. I'm guessing i will have to reroot my phone. Can i use the same method as 2.1 or is there another method for the droid x with 2.2? Thanks for the help!

just check the website i posted, it has guides for everything you need
well.. Now i have 2.2 on my phone but no root. adb can't find my phone.. WTF
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Was finally able to get it all working. Now I have a working 2.2 custom Rom and can proceed with flashing this thing to cricket. Kinda sucks because I'm doing all this for a friend and using this phone I've kinda come to the conclusion that its a better made phone than my evo. Colors look better on the lcd, camera takes better pictures and the aluminum case is certainly nice too. Only drawback I see is the dev. Much more development for the evo, but then again it is an older phone.

I like my DX and it does have a few advantages over the EVO (e.g. battery life and build quality). However, I would gladly trade it for an EVO, since that device has 4G access, a front camera, cyanogenmod support, more accessible bootloader, etc.
Hi everyone, I decided to finally root and flash to axura today. I saw the one click vibrant root link today and did that one successfully. I did some searching and ended up with Austiclees instructional video.
My phone is currently rooted and after downloading Axura 2.0.6. I loaded it onto my internal sd. I downloaded the newest clockwork and when i click install from sd card it seems to be working. However, the screen just goes to android system recovery and I'm stuck having to choose between reboot now or reinstall packages. I'm very frustrated right now and was wondering how to get Axura to actually install..
BTW I did not root from one click lag fix.. I hope thats not the problem.. Any help would be appreciated PLEASE!!!
I just flashed onyx on my vibrant like a day ago.
When you have the rom on your phone you go to rom manager install clockwork i cant remember if you need to restart... after that you click reboot into recovery ...
wait for the prompt to come up and choose to reinstall packages the phone will reboot and open another prompt (you may have to repeat this step if you didn't get into clockwork recovery just click reinstall again.)
Once you are at clockwork recovery you choose install from sdcard and navigate to your rom.

The way you rooted is not an issue.
Click reinstall packages that should take you into cw recovery. Sometimes you have to click twice. Once in Cw recovery scroll down to install zip from sd card, then click choose zip from sd card. After that click on your chosen rom, let it do it's thing and when it brings you back to Cw screen click reboot now. Then enjoy your new Rom.
thanks guys... i figured it out... for anyone with the same problem, I just clicked reinstall packages twice; which put me into clockwork recovery. And for anyone deciding if they want to root and flash or not, let me just say axura's rom on the vibrant is undescribably wonderful. I love not having to reboot when I go to gallery, wifi problems are non existant, as for gps, I haven't tried yet but will be most likely flawless.
thanks ironlood and icandy...
sigh, why didnt i do this before -_-
No prob .. I was actually thinking about flashing Axura in a week or so ... just watcheda video that showed absolutely no lag

For me and my setup, Axura has been the best, and I tried most. I don't think you even need Voodoo lag fix kernel, I just could not resist. Stick with plain Aura 2.2 for now. It's smooth like butter.
And welcome to flashing!

Yeah I have read a few guides on Odin but the program itself is still hard for me to understand.
There needs to be a wiki or something that has a entire glossery for the program's terms.

hello all. so i have a rooted mytouch 4g that im loving but having issues with. i permarooted it with Visionary and everything works great but when i try to boot my phone in recovery, it goes to a black screen with an exclamation point and i have to pull the battery. I also tried it through Rom Manager to do a backup and it gets the same screen. any ideas would be of great help. thanks in advance!
Seems to be stock recovery, with rom manager flash clock work recovery
Some times rom manager doesn't like to flash recovery on our phone. Theres an option after you enable advanced features to delete recovery before flaashing. Use that. May help. If not, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905
^^ That should help.
thanks im gonna try that and see where it gets me! i did do my research before doing this and re read everything but i guess im still not quite too learned yet ha.
tried after enabling advanced mode and it didnt help so when i get home and have a computer available ill try the adb way and see if that helps. seems pointless to have a rooted phone if i cant flash a rom onto it haha. hopefully i can fix this!

Sounds like CW didn't install right. Many users have found that flashing CW twice or even 3 times seems to clear the issue up.
Try that.
so i got s-off and then tried installing CW 2 or 3 times like you said and hey it worked great! did and nandroid backup and all so im back in business! thanks so so so much for the help

Glad I was able to help. Seems CW needs to be flashed more than once in order to 'take' and install correctly on some devices. Anyway, glad you're up and runnin.
Hey MT4G guru's i need your assistance.
1st off im an Evo user..rooted and all so im not to shabby at doing this. 2nd I rooted her phone using visionary.
So on to the problem. I tried to flash her a theme. I nandrioded (backup) first as usual. The theme which ended up being a full ROM--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929101
It flashed successfully but when i rebooted it gets stuck at the white MT4G screen and stays there forever.
**I can still get into the bootloader & recovery.**
Tried to restore...NO LUCK. It restores, I reboot then the Same white screen.
Tried to factory reset, dalvik & cache wipe..... NO LUCK
Tried Update.zip Nothing!!!
Even tried pd15img in the bootloader. NOTHING!! It doesnt even recognize it!!
Guys i even looked into odin which i found out it isnt needed on phones with recovery.
Hate to sound like a noob but Help!!!!
...A fixed phone will result in 30,000 "thanks" button presses.....cause shes pissed to say the least....
Edit: Ok i believe i found the problem. I had clockwork 2.5.1.2 instead of 3 on her phone. Ok so now that i found the problem how do i fix it??
go to this link http://goo.gl/K0xTy and follow the instructions. you are flashing a cm7 rom and for this phone requires a different recovery. Then flash your rom
Flash cm6 first it will boot with 2.5
twiztid
If you made a nandroid backup, which you always should do before flashing a new rom, you can restore it using clockwork 2.5.1.2. If you don't have a backup you can do two things. You can use fastboot to flash clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5 to the phone then reboot into recovery and successfully flash CM7. If you don't know how to use fastboot then you can use the existing recovery to flash a froyo based rom on the phone. Either iced glacier or CM6 will flash ok. Perform a full wipe before you flash. Once you have a froyo rom working you can follow TrueBlue_Drew's thread about getting clockwork 3 on the phone without issue. I'm on my phone so I can't provide the link but it is in the mt4g development section. It is in a sticky called Resource Bible. In the OP, scroll until you see the header Recoveries and choose the link called Easiest way to install clockwork 3.0.0.5 by TrueBlue_Drew. Follow his instructions and you'll be able to switch between clockwork versions with no hassle. Of course, once you have clockwork 3 working you can flash CM7.
EDIT: Drew replied before I finished writing so follow his link once you are able to boot successfully.

Did you accidentally overlay your update.zip on your SD Card? I did that earlier today and was having the same issues.
Once I put the correct Froyo'd update.zip back on my SD, everything worked great
Can you point me into the right direction sir!
Hope this helps

you will be able to see the dowload files for the EB01.
Download all three, you already flashed it so skip the first 2 steps.
if you already have EB01 running and u cant boot into CWM then download this and flash it through Odin:

its a rar file so extract it and then flash the CWMFroyo.TAR with Odin while in DOWNLOAD mode.
...sorry if it can be confusing. Im trying to be at most clear as i can.
i did this and it worked on mine and i had the same problem.
