So awhile back I flashed TranQ 3.5. SInce then, I flashed other roms and used the system only SBF many times. My problem/question is, when my phone boots up, it still says Tranquility as the first splash screen. How the hell do I get rid of this? lol
You could use the Tranq toolbox to change the boot logo.

Or buy their logo tool.
VERY quick and easy. You can then design your own with their guide.
worth the $.99 or so.
What you can do is first sbf your phone using the full sbf file (2.3.32). Skip all the sign-in requests after reboot. Then sbf your phone using the system only sbf file (2.3.34). Once the phone reboots, then you can go ahead and sign-in to your google account and set up your phone. Hope this helps.

Boot into recovery and load one of your backups. If you don't have backups, then you just learned why you need them. Of course, there are people who have uploaded nandroid backups to this site and others, find one of them, move it to your sdcard, boot into recovery, and install it.
If all this fails, then just .sbf. It doesn't take forever, and you can make a nice clean stock 2.2 backup after you root and then upgrade.
What OS are you running? Have you tried to SBF your phone back to factory?
Im guessing its 2.2 only

Yeah i got it back by doing spf. And then reloaded a backup, but i could never get into clockwork, what do u do yo get into clockwork because the only recovery i was able to get into was the recovery that comes with the phone, just would like to know.

The same thing happened to me trying to update using the update.zip. Installs everything normally but when it comes to booting it simply stops at the motorola logo, then if you reboot it several times taking the battery out it boots into the system.
Doesn't sound like your rooted? Have to be rooted to use Clockwork.
If you are rooted might try reinstalling the Bootstrap Recovery.
Would definitely suggest doing an SBF on the phone. The guides here are a little unorganized, so I wrote up a nice one below. Includes everything including the SBF file needed for flashing.
http://destdroid.com/showthread.php?18-How-to-Flash-2.1-(SBF)
Need help! My phone was rooted using the Easy Root process, all was peachy until I decided to try the latest leak of 2.2. Didn't work, got stuck at the M logo and could only get the bootloader screen up. I thought it was bricked but after searching high and low through the blogosphere got to this post. Now I've done the sbf as suggested, but when I try to do the Easy Root again, nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root again so I can access the backup from my sd card and get my phone back to where I had it b/f. HELP!
I was adding a new custom ROM to my Droid 2 because I wasn't happy with the Epic ROM so I went with the VZW 2.4.5 Clean ROM, I wanted to add the kangerade blue theme to it but accidently installed the wrong version of it over my ROM and now my phone is in a constant boot loop. sometimes it stays at the droid eye for a while and then load into the lock screen but will go right back into the boot sequence.
When it does boot into the lock screen there is not enough time for me to get into the bootstrapper app to boot into recovery mode.
are there any other ways to get into recovery mode? I've searched high and low on this forum and others as well.
I want my droid back =[
Have you tried to pull the battery and then put it back in. Everytime I do that, I end up at recovery thing.
yup, i've pull the battery many times. i've got it into the android recovery screen but when I to the data/cache format it just brings me to the green android starting screen and goes back into the boot loop, what's weird is that the theme is still applied to the phone

Hmmm. Kind of a roundabout process, but did you make a backup. I'd just restore it to a backup and then go from there.
i can't get into the clockwork recovery, just the stock android recovery. are there any backdoors that i could use with adb?
Try taking the battery out during the boot animation a few times, if that doesn't get you to clockwork recovery you've probably lost your recovery. I've noticed that I sometimes (or always?) Lose clockwork when installing a Rom. If that is the case you may have to sbf unless you can get adb to work from the lockscreen.

how would I go about doing an sbf? could you point me in the right direction?
On this forum three posts down is a guide. Follow the guide exactly, except you will have to put your phone in bootloader mode since it will not turn on and stay on. Do do this, hold the up button on the dpad when you turn it on.
It works, i just did it yesterday. First time ive ever had to flash SBF, and i did ALOT of roms and modding on my D1. The bootstrap is nice but not as nice as a full bootloader.

cool. i think i found the guide. it says backup my sd card to my computer..this doesn't delete everything on the sd card does it?
(not a huge concern since having a working phone is better than losing all my stuff on my memory card)
okay. I tried doing what the tutorial said and I got an error on my bootloader that says
"Critical Error: DEA1"
EDIT:
Well it looks like it was just a simple "I need to update my rsd lite program"
I was using the 4.5 and I read that 4.9 was out so I gave updating RSDLITE a shot and boom, the phone is reflashing as we speak
My sd card is intact... untouched from what I can tell. I had no apps2sd though (with 8 gigs on board why would I?)

Where is the RSD Lite 4.9? All I come across is 4.7.

Google "RSDLite 4.9" it should be in one of the first results..I found mine in a forum
http://droid2files.com/tools/RSD Lite 4.9.zip
This is RSD Lite 4.9.
So, I rooted my phone via Z4Root, bought and downloaded Bootrstrap (awesome) then i installed the Tranquility 3.6 rom.. hopefully P3Droid looks here.
When i went to market to download Bootstrap again, because I wasnt feeling the rom too much.. It would download, then as it was installing, the phone restart, making it so the app was in an endless loop of "installing"
I rebooted the phone, and nothing.. so i used RSD LITE to do the SBF thing.. and it didnt fix it.. Tranquility F'd my shiz up. What do i do?
do a factory reset from the phone settings/privacy/data factory reset. I had the same problem. Apps would download then it would soft reboot during install. Evertime.
your gonna lose the tranq toolbox app after the reset. FYI.
whatd you do to fix the soft reset issue?
The factory reset should fix that. Well, it fixed for me at least.
Well, i cant bring up clockworkmod recovery, what would i have to do?
Loading the SBF does not automatically erase the current ROM. SBF to the latest OTA, and then do a factory reset using Motorola's recovery. After booting back up you will be able to start the whole rooting process over.

Well i rooted again, and loaded tranquility 3.6 again, but i STILL cant access Clockworkmod Recovery from TranqBox or w/e its called (phone isnt near me to look at it, sorry dudes!)
When i go there to 'reboot to clockwork' it just sticks at the Moto logo (i changed it from the tranq one) and doesnt move.. do i just reinstall bootstrap ?

You definitely need to have the Droid X Bootstrap installed. You will not be able to boot into Clockwork without it.
So I decided to give Tranquility a test and see how it compares to my currently running ApeX. I followed the usual procedures, data wipe/factory reset.....twice.
then installed TranQ and the TranQ App update.
The phone then boots up and freezes on the animation screen. So i reset it, then it won't boot at all past the Logo screen. Randomly it decides to boot up fine, but then 30 seconds of android and it reboots and freezes up.
So for some reason it won't let me boot into clockwork recovery, so i decide to just do the system only SBF it and be done.
So I've SBF'd it twice now, the first time it did a random restart and froze, and also kept the tranq boot animation. I did the 2nd sbf and it's got rid of the animation screen and back to droid, however the tranq boot logo is there.
I haven't proceeded to reactivate the phone yet, and just leaving it alone it hasn't restarted itself. I'm planning on rerooting and reinstalling clockwork recovery and see if i can get one of my old backups going.
But, any theories to what would have jacked it up so bad? and why the stock moto logo wasn't put back when SBF'ing?
update:
rerooted just fine using Z4, installed clockwork recovery just fine too.
Right now I'm doing a data wipe and reinstalling ApeX 1.3.1 from scratch from clockwork recovery. Then I'm gonna restore one of my backups.
Hopefully all goes well
update:
recovered to my backup just fine. Still didn't get rid of the tranq boot logo, thankfully i had a zip stored away of the stock logo so I installed that.
All is now well in the world.
Lesson from this......if it's working fine, leave yo sht alone!
Logo is stored in different place then a system sbf will update. That's not tranQ 's fault. I still use gummyJar though. Too much blur in TranQ for me
I had the exact same problem when I went from fission to tran q. I literally had to do the. 320 sbf then the. 340 sbf to get tran q to install right. Didn't like it and put fission back on
yea i had to do the same thing comming from fission, and because of it i am just staying on tranquility until Obsidian is more stable, then GOODBYE BLUR :-D
The trick to installing TranQ is to install it over stock. If you try to install it over another custom ROM you will have nothing but problems.

I feel your pain, but you shouldn't be discouraged (as long as you Nandroid, Nandroid, Nandroid!).
I also spent a week fiddling with TranQ before giving up due to random reboots. But I went ahead and installed GummyJar. It was worth it!
When you're ready to climb back onto the horse, you should try GummyJar. If you prefer a no-bur ROM, it's probably the best in terms of speed and stability.
well i had tried Gummy before, but it was a little buggy for me. Phone would restart after calls, hardware buttons wouldn't always work and a few other little things.
I actually just switched to Fission and it's pretty brilliant thus far. No problems at all, and the fission manager helps a lot

IT IS TranQ's fault. It is the only ROM that does this. Before you get rid of Tranq, you have to go in to the tools and set your boot logo back to stock. I have flashed many different ROMs and it is the ONLY ONE that makes sure to "leave its mark," LITERALLY.
had same problem when I went from fission. I had to sbf .32 then sbf .34 then did the tran q and it worked just fine after that. I didn't like it to much so I went back to fission. To get rid of the tran q I just did the same sbf method I did and went back to fission.

You're right on w/this..Its too bad I found out the hard way..
I just noticed that some ROMs that have their own booting screen such as Tranquility and Liberty stay there even after i've flashed a new ROM.
How can I return to Motorola logo? I don't want to change it. I just want to have stock booting screen that has M logo on it. Thanks before
I can't speak for other ROMs but I know that Liberty 1.0 ROM has an option in the Liberty Toolbox to change what you want as a bootsceen/logo. Liberty 1.0 has the stock Motorolla M logo or the logo of your choice followed by a custom boot animation or the option to pick one.
Now, are you talking about the M Logo persay or the M Logo followed by the Droid boot animation and which do you want to change?

Just do a nandroid backup of your current ROM, install Liberty, change back to the Motorola (M) and restore your previous ROM.

I was talking about the M logo followed by the Droid animation. Too bad I already changed my ROM to the previous one but the LIBERTY stayed on my Droid. I guess I'm just too lazy to go back to it, change it from there, and go back to recent ROM

Boot logo changer and root tools will change boot logos, boot animations, fonts, etc on just about any rom.

Have you tried downloading Liberty Toolbox and changing the boot animations there? It does work with other roms in my experience.
Here is the stock M boot screen. Just flash in clockwork. http://db.tt/b2FlnAq
