hey everyone, my sister wanted me to root/install a new rom on her droid 2 which i did however i made the mistake by loading clockwork mod, and tried installing the rom and theme through CWM and now the phone just stays stuck at the Motorola droid 2 screen, i tried booting back to recovery and wiped everything but nothing works (it keeps booting into CWM when i enter recovery mode also) please help!
Try SBFing the latest fireware 2.3.20
Its really easy
If it still doesn't work instead of doing in on the windows tutorial
do SBF for linux
I think my phone bricked too. It wont get off the m screen
Use koush's bootstrap to install things on the D2 us and your sister will thank you.

Hey guys sorry to ask this but a friend of mine seems to have soft bricked his phone, he used bootstrap to get into recovery and tried to flash a rom, not sure what happened but now its stuck at the motorola boot logo and will not initialize the rom, we tried to get into recovery and was only able to get into the stock recovery, cant seem to get into CWM as much as we tried also did a data and cache wipe and still nothing, my main questions is how can i use rsdlite to flash it back to stock? i have already downloaded the full system sbf file as well as rsdlite and the motorola drivers that were listed in a thread i found earlier, can i just put the phone into download mode? any help would be greatly appreciated also im a fascinate user so the rsdlite and sbf stuff is a bit new to me
using a samsung fascinate running CM7 2.3.4
never mind I figured it out...
So I've been running MIUI 1.8.whatever for a few weeks and finally realized there hadn't been an update in a while. After discovering MIUI move into the 1.9.Xs I downloaded 1.9.16 and proceeded to update via CWM. While updating it told me 1.9.16 runs off the Gingerbread kernel. At that point I got worried since I had been running the Froyo kernel since I rooted my DX.
After the update I told it to reboot and now it gets stuck at the white M logo. I can boot into regular recovery but I CANNOT get my phone to boot into CWM recovery so I can run the backup!
I've tried every button combination with no luck. i've booted into regular recovery and selected reboot having read that it will boot back into CWM recovery. Needless to say that didn't work either. And lastly I tried running RSDLite to SBF the phone to .602 but since the phone can't fully boot up RSDLite doesn't see the phone.
That is where I am at and I seek the help and guidance of you much smarter folks to help me get my phone at minimum to CWM recovery.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Boot the phone into bootloader mode, then SBF.

I got it into bootloader mode now, but my computer isn't finding the OMAP drivers and the installation keeps failing. How can I get these drivers onto my computer? RSD isn't seeing the phone even in bootloader so these drivers seem to be the key.
You can find the drivers in this thread:

I got RSDLite to see the phone. Now when I try to flash it, it makes it all the way to checking the checksums (which all pass) then tries to switch the phone to BP passthrough. It keeps failing to switch the phone to BP passthrough and now my phone will only boot to the Bootloader screen and says Code Corrupt. It'll let me run the flash again but RSDLite keeps failing at that BP passthrough switch.
Thats where i'm at now.
Try a different SBF file. I had problems like this when i tried to SBF once, but once I found the SBF file that works for me, its always worked since. (I've had to SBF like 6 times now haha)
will find an older sbf file and try that. Wil let you know.
Alright we've made progress! I was able to finally get the phone SBF'd to .602. Then I rocked the Pete's Droid Rooting program and all seemed to have gone smoothly... Except I cannot boot into CWM recovery at all! I've ensured ROM Manager has the correct flash for CWM installed, but when I click Reboot into CWM Recovery, it'll reboot normally. So I turned the phone off and held the Home + Power button to boot into regular recovery. I get the ! logo with the green android, but when I hit hte Search button nothing happens.
So now I'm rooted, but can't get to CWM Recovery to install ROMS.
What do you guys think?
Yeah, Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager doesn't work for me usually either...in fact, I had to go into the Bootstrapper app, install the recovery again, and then hit Reboot Recovery. This is on Apex though, but can't hurt to try it.
Yea I finally got it figured out. Its been so long since I originally rooted my phone I forgot all about D2Bootstrapper. And I didn't read the how-to guide for updating to MIUI 1.9.16 so that was all on me.
Hey everyone.
I've been rooted for a bit, and decided to finally try my hand at some custom roms. I experimented with a bunch on an old OH Droid I had lying around and felt like I wanted to use Cyanogen on my actual phone (the Dx.)
I've been rooted on .602, have had titanium backup and clockworkmod for a bit, so I went and got Dx Bootstrap today as well. Did all my backups and preperations, loaded up bootstrap, said it did is successfully, and when I tried to enter recovery, I would get hung at a black screen upon powering on.
With a battery pull, I have no problem rebooting as normal, but can't enter recovery via bootstrap, CWM or just the general holding down home button while powering on (then, it gets stuck on the ! screen.)
Anyone have any ideas whats stopping me from entering recovery?
When u r on gingerbread ur suppose to use Droid 2 bootstrapper and recommend download rom manager and flashing the latest recoveryrecovery

Hello folks,
I am really angry at the moment.
I wanted to do a backup of my system. I have CM7 1.5 installed, and had the Clockworkmod as boot manager too. Installed "Droid 2 bootstrap", accepted the SU-Rights request after installation and my Defy made a restart. I exspected to get into the screen of the CMW again and I could do a Backup....
BUT: It does nothing. I only see the Bootlogo (red circle with white M), I can boot into Motorola Bootloader or in an oldschool Android Bootmanager.
Do you have any suggestion? Otherwise I will wipe my system again to Froyo, and throw it to Ebay. I am done with all this updating problems I have to face with, I really start to hate Motorola so much. A friend of mine uses a Nexus S and there not one of the problems I always get confronted with ever occured. Support is also something completly different looking at the update politics. But this is not the point, just tell me please if there is anything I can do to get it started again?
Thanks Chris
PS: RSD Lite gets connection with the Motorla Bootloader, could I try to replace something via RSD light? Or just wiping and installing Froyo again?
EDIT: OK, forget it. Installed FROYO again. As always with the crap from Motorola, it is nothing new to me any more.
Hi all,
My girlfriend's Droid X started having some major bugs yesterday night and I couldn't even open any apps without immediate force closes. It kept saying memory was full even though I managed to uninstall a few apps and delete things directly from the SD card. It was running CM7.
I decided to flash a new rom - liberty rom 3 - by using the ROM toolbox app. After downloading the app I clicked install and nothing happened so I booted into CWM recovery and did a factory reset and then installed the liberty rom zip directly from CWM. The phone then failed to boot and I found myself on a bootloader screen with white text on a black background with "bootloader 30.04" at the top.
I tried to get into CWM to recover to a previous CWM backup image I had on the SD card but couldn't get into CWM. I was able to access the android recovery at this point but didn't know what to do with it. I then used RSDlite to SBF a .602 version onto the phone which seemed to work but the last step involves pulling battery and booting into android recovery and then doing a format data/factory reset. I can't get into android recovery for some reason. I tried home button + power but nothing. I then used a bootable linux drive to SBF the phone which succeeded but still no ability to get into android recovery or boot into any OS.
When I boot the phone it just comes directly to the bootloader screen version 30.04 with "err:A5,70,70,00,1F followed by MEM_MAP Blank, Service Req'd, Battery OK, OK to program, Connect USB data Cable" on the screen.
Please help me to get this phone working again. I feel awful about screwing up my gf's phone and this is an important weekend for her to have it.
Thanks
try ezSBF for dx
it's in my list

MEM_MAP BLANK means you were on 621. You can't flash an earlier version. You'll have to SBF 621 with RSD Lite or use the Linux CD using Milestone 604.
