hello all
sorry if this is in the wrong section.
today i decided i didnt like my old rom and tried to install fission using the fission rom manager. in the install screen, i forgot to check the wipe box by mistake.
now my phone WILL NOT go any farther than the white moto logo at the very beginning of the boot animation. Is there anyway I can fix this? i am not that experienced at this stuff, so a good explanation is needed. please help!
i just figured out how to get to (stock) recovery from boot, but even after wiping and retryin a few times, it still wont work....
i have also not upgraded or updated really anything since i got my phone months ago, except root, and deodex, and flyx rom
-matt
You won't lose root, and when you sign back into google all your apps will come back. Did you make a recent backup? If so you can use it from recovery

You can even wipe and reinstall if you still wanna try fission since you're in recovery.

google has all of my tons of apps? sik. but from recovery there is no option to restore/backup nandroid, like bootstrap
the options are reboot, apply sdcard update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
Oh you're in stock recovery... Just wipe and reboot.

well thanks for helping, but even after i wiped 3 or 4 times trying, it still desnt work. any ideas?
idk if fission requires 2.3.32 or somethin, but i dont think i hav updated anything since i got my phone a long time ago, just thought id add that
Try pulling the battery, should reboot to clockwork recovery when you put battery back in, then you can restore a backup or flash a rom from sd card.

Most roms require .320/.340. You definitely wanna upgrade if you plan on flashing in the future.

well neither of those solve my problem, i am debating on whether on not to take it to verizon, but idk if they will even help me.
if you can get to clockwork recovery you can download a rom by computer and transfer to your sd card, or put your card in another phone to download it. Then flash that rom. Be sure to mount the system before flashing

Hi matt.. soon after getting my X, I got stuck in your situation while flashing a rom. I took it to verizon and after trying to troubleshoot it for a few minutes, they decided to just overnight me another one. I told them that I woke up and the phone was stuck at the M. I didn't mention anything about being rooted or trying to flash a rom.
The phone was also within the one year warranty though. You might want to try this route if all else fails.
Good luck!!

If everything else fails you can sbf. I'll pm you a link for the 2.2315 full sbf, just download rsd lite 4.8 and google how to do a sbf if your not familiar. Then you can do the official ota and be up to date
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
thnx everyone. ive never sbf'ed before, but ill give it a shot. i wish i could get to clockwork, it would make everything so much easier.
i triedflashing a new sbf, but rsdlite gives me the error- could not find initial values in the ini file or somthin... any ideas? its my fisrt time putting on a new sbf.

What version of rsd are you using? you can just sbf .320 full then .340 system only and it will be updated no need to sbf an old file.
i am using the newest rsd i could find. 4.9 right? and it seems as if i need pst_flash.ini according to the sbf installation instructions i found here
edit: hey thnx everyone for the help. i took it to verizon and the techs said it was a "complete software crash". yay i bricked my phone:/... the good news is that verizon is overnighting me a new one.
when i get it i am going to root it. i also want it to be the latest sbf or whatever its called so i can get either fission or gummyjar on there. now i need 2 more questions answered.
1. which option in about is the one that tells me what sbf im on?
2. i kinda need a really good tut on how to flash a new sbf and get it to .340 because i clearly failed miserably at it last time, so anyone have a link or willing to write it up?
It should have.340 on it or be ready to update. You can check by going to settings, about phone, build number. It should say 2.2.340
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
oh build number. thnx bro, so many confusing numbers, why cant there just be simple names? lol
Full SBF isn't out yet for 2.3.340 you will need the SBF for 2.3.320 and then the patches to get to 2.3.340. Keep it handy just in case!
yah i have the .15 sbf right now for safe keeping but i cant find the .32 or the .34 patch, but it isnt urgent since i heard that the new phone that is coming will be preloaded with the newest everything.
can i just use z4root to root my new phone? or do i have to do the doroot thing in adb like i originally did on my first dx?
I also wanted to know if i could use one of the kernels i saw in the fission rom manager with a rom other than fission, such as gummyjar.

i guess im going to call verizon with a bs reason i need a new phone. I have tried to update off nan from when i first rooted downloads but wont install dont understand sbfing and zip files wont load need serious help
What exactly is your phone doing right now? Is it stuck on the boot logo or what?
Its operational, I just flashed back to first nan and reloaded fission cause nothing I did the 928 back to stock ect worked, even tried updating without signing into google, unrooted and all that just frustrated it won't work

Ok, so you are up and running then. The only thing i was going to suggest is flashing SBF to get you back to Stock Android 2.2 and starting the process over again. I had a similar problem and wiped everything clean IOT get what i wanted. SBF'ing is simpler then you think, all you need is 2 files (rsdlite_4.8 and VRZ MB810_2.3.15 sbf). There's lots of articles here on it and I used them when I thought I bricked my phone. I started all over and was able to receive my 2.2.1 update.....finally!!
have you done the ota update? if so use 2.3.32.sbf you can get it by google and search droid x 2.3.32 sbf and its the first result. and dl rdlite 4.8. very easy to flash. several guides on here as stated.
I got it my drivers are up to date but won't find my phone.. And I'm leary all I got to do is that file and update?

Well worth it. Otherwise, it will be on this and other websites by the end of the day. P3droid rocks. I've been messing around with it, and everything seems super smooth.
jideay, I got it from their website. Did you do method 2 (part 1 and 2)? If so I'm confused if I have to hit both downloads at the same time or do part one, then part 2. Do we need bootstrap or bootstrap2. I have both. Want this on my phone but a little confused.

This is what I did.... Download part 1 and part 2 then use droid2 bootstrap then install part 1 AND part 2 before you exit bootstrap and it should work fine
Did you have to do a "wipe" of any kind in recovery before installing? Also did you do a nandroid backup first before even downloading 596?

nope no wipe or nandroid.... all I did was install the who files, very easy install :-D
Okay, so I go into tbh app, find 2 part download, hit download 1 first or do I have tohit both at the same time.; It says "these need to be loaded at same time". Not sure what they mean by that. Then droid2 bootstrap, hit bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery and then install zip from sd. Is that correct. Will tbh app download automatically to zip od sd? Reason i ask is I tried a coustom rom about 2 months ago, thought I did evewrything correctly, but coulsn't find darkslide rom on sd. Wound up having to sbf. Prefer not to go through that again.

2 things.
1. Someone told you what he did and it worked. Do that.
2. Why didn't you download the rom you couldn't find onto your pc and move to SD in recovery to where you could find it?
I'm in the process of downloading these files (1 THEN 2 because you can't download two at the same time) and we'll see how this goes.
Thejron, I was waiting for clarification on the tbh apparently, which you just provided. Thank you. I did load roms from computer, as I did the tbh 596 root. Why I couldn't find it on bootstrap recovery I have no idea. My screw up. It was there in astro. Sorry about offtraking on post.

That is exactly what I was looking for, I also did method 2. Everything seems to be running great.
In case anyone was wondering I'm using an unactivated droid X (rooted, stock .340), with wifi. I used my computer to download the files and copied them to my sdcard. I did a factory wipe, cache wipe and delvik (I think thats how you spell it.)wipe from clockwork using the droid2 bootstrap(not the droidx bootstrap). Installed the two .zip files in order and rebooted it came up fine.
Thanks - had it running now a couple of hours, may be psychosomatic, but it seems faster than .595.
yeah, i like it - transition was easy, i did had to re install a few things but over all very easy coming from .595 using the tbh app. very nice.
what was the Easter egg p3 mentioned something about a dx2 lwp? i downloaded and flashed patch but still dont see the wallpaper... anyone else see it? and yes I flashed the rooted version from tbh

Rapidly tap the android version in settings > about phone. That is an Easter egg from google :3
Go into settings, about phone, and multiple tap on android version.
Install worked great on wifi only x. No issues with Netflix or anything else. Does anyone know if I have to sbf my other x that's froyo with clockwork mod backup done?

I think i bricked my Droid X. i was running Rubix Focused and tryed to flash GingerAle 3.0 and now it just sits at the moto "M" logo. i can get into the recovery by pulling the battery but even after a wipe and a recovery it still just sits. did i brick it, and if so how can i fix it? please help, reletivly new to flashing roms.
P.S. I'll love you forever if i can fix it =)
now i think i really did it. I tried running a recovery image from a few days ago and now i cant get back into the recovery menu...
Sounds Like SBF Time
Sounds like SBF is going to be your friend here, if you don't know how, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2
and look for "SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?"
OK, so i SBFed the phone, got all the way through it, got to the phone is rebooting and it just sits at the Moto "M" again. did i SBF wrong or what?
EDIT: I can get into the stock recovery... sort of. i can get to the ! with the droid next to it but nothing happens when i push the search button.
hmm, I know GB doesnt use the search button to pass that, try using vol UP+DOWN at the same time. perhaps the stock recovery isn't modified from SBF?
Woot that worked. got into recovery. wiped data and tryed a reboot, got stuck at logo again. should i try flashing back to the Rubix focused i had before?
Edit: it now boots into <3e> recovery and i get the e: signature verification failed instillation aborted when i try to install Rubix or Gingerale.
You can't install a custom roms from stock recovery

Hey guys so i mistakenly updated to 2.3.3 the other day and really didn't like it so I rooted my phone, and was about to flash Miui when I changed my mind and tried to Deodex my phone, because i had already rooted the phone I tried to do the manual deodex shown in the "noobs guide post" i did everything according the the instructions but it didn't work. So I grabbed the SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.SBF file and loaded it in RSD lite to flash back and un-root my phone.. well half way into the process the phone rebooted to the Red M logo.. and everything I've done since has been to no avail.. i tried to download other SBF files that were supposed to be the "full" sbf but for some reason RSD lite wont even let me flash them... If i boot holdig the menu button the phone will bring up the recovery menu and from there i can still select the 4 different options but even after doing the factory data reset and formatting the catch nothing seems to change.. I have been looking for several hours now to get this working and I'm getting really frustrated. So i just want to apologist if this situation has already been dealt with but if you guys could help me out to get my phone working again i would be incredibly great full.

I think I read something about the but havn't been able to find where to get the linux iso, am i correct in saying you can temporarily boot linux from the disk to do this? BTW Thank for the sugestion, my wife was about to make me sleep in the dog house for messing my phone up lol so when i get off work i'll try to find the Linux iso, maybe i can even find a thred that has a walk through to fix it.
In the event that I do get everything working again, is it easier to flash roms from gingerbread or from Froyo? or if you want a gingerbread rom i'm assuming you have to flash it from gingerbread correct?
Yes your correct about the roms from my understanding, and haha I know the feeling, yeah just burn the iso onto a disc (its not very big) on boot from disc on your computer, follow the instructions, and it will sbf you to froyo, probably be doing this for me tomorrow since in have some problems with tethering, good luck man, let me know how it goes
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
sweet I'll be happy to have my phone back.. lol i miss it, i feel lost without it to be honest. I never knew how attachedi was to my phone. but anyway I'll forsure let you know how it goes i'm praying that this will fix my phone, I have never really come accross a true definition of how to tell if your phone is "bricked" or not. it seems like everyone says their phone is bricked just because they cant get it to boot up but i always thought that the term "bricked" refered to the phone being so screwed up that you can no longer fix or salvage it.. does anyone know the actual definition?
I was recomended to look at this web page it was incredabley helpfull!! i'm running throught the process right now so i'll report my results when done but i'm pretty optimistic about this.

Awesome man, i used that method, might be doing again after work today to change roms
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
yeah i was so happy that it worked although i was still worried at first because the phone still boots to the Red M logo but after a sec it goes the the droid eye and then load GB anyway now i just need to really understand how to deodex and flash a rom right way, but at least now i know how to fix the phone if i screw something up. One more question, would you guys say that my phone was considered bricked? if so than is it safe to say that there is nothing you can do to it that you can't fix using the Linux boot SBF method?
btw the actual page i used with all the downloads of Linux is right here in case anyone else needs it.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
It doesn't sound like it was bricked, and so for I haven't seen anything to bad where you can just use the Linux way, unless you mess up the hardware lol
well thats somewhat good to know lol thanks for all the advice
Anytime buddy, always glad to help

The reason why the first sbf didn't work is because you used a SYSTEM only Sbf and it was for froyo 2.3.340 instead of the FULL sbf which reverts everything back to froyo instead of just the system.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
hmm so how is the system only sbf any different than doing a factory reset while running 2.3.340? i mean does doing the system only sbf undo rooting your phone?
I had encounter ICS, which was great, but isn't ready to be a daily rom, so I use koush's app to reboot into recovery.
then I got stuck at the boot animation, so I decided to open up the stock recovery, and wiped data/factory reset like an idiot. So now all i have is stuck at the M logo, or stock recovery.
Am I going to have to use an official update.zip to flash, then root my phone again?
You are going to have to sbf.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
okay, so I sbf'd back to stock froyo (only GB sbf I can find around the net is a megaupload link, which is obviously not very helpful nowadays) and let it do an OTA update to GB.
I then root, just like i have before, using the motorola one click root program on my computer.
I get root, install koush's bootstrap, and reboot into recovery. I then try to install libertyv3 2.0, which seems to go well...
until i reboot. once i reboot my phone, I'm stuck back at the bootloader, and can't do anything except SBF all over again.
seriously, what's going on? maybe this liberty .zip is broken or something? (i had to find a mirror, because A team gummy's site seems to be down, and B the only other official mirror is megaupload)
I'm going to try another rom, probably encounter ICS because i already have it on my SD card.
this time, I actually read the instructions and tried to install Liberty with clockwork recovery instead of koush.
still. effing. happening.
I reboot after flashing the zip and I can't get past the bootloader screen.
Code:
Bootloader
D2.37
Err:A5,69,35,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I'm seriously at wit's end here. I just got this phone but a couple days ago after I lost my original. it's an insurance replacement. I rooted with the moto one click root, and used koush to install encounter ICS. after not knowing about encounter's wonky way of activation the custom bootloader, I mistakenly wiped the phone with the stock bootloader. I SBf'd back to stock froyo, then OTA updated to gingerbread.
That is my entire history with this phone. what the hell could possibly be wrong with it?
Do you wipe data/cache/dalvic once before you flash and twice after? Liberty is dead use ICS.

I did certainly wipe before flashing, but have never not once heard of wiping twice after flashing. wouldn't that undo the flash? what's the point of that? And like I said, I would use encounter ICS, but it's nowhere near stable enough for daily use.
When you wipe after its just to make sure everything is stock. As long as you don't wipe /system the rom will still be there. Actually if you can live without a camera EncounterICS is an amazing daily driver. Also never use bootstrap unless you're on stock gb.

I can live without a camera, but google music barely works, which is something I can't live without. I'm thinking about going back to Apex until encounter gets really good (had apex for months up until i lost my original phone)
Google music is working fine for me. Good idea apex is great.
