Okay, so I messed up my boss's phone today. I tried to do the flash player mod to watch Hulu found here: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/219288-modified-flash-hulu-droid-x.html (which I did SUCCESSFULLY on my phone). Anyway, I didn't realize that he had NOT made a backup of his Stock ROM (he just rooted his phone 2 days ago). When I did the Flashplayer mod not only did Hulu not work, but any time he opened his browser to the google hompepage it would kick him out of the browser. We tried pulling the battery, clearing cache (on the browser), force stop (on the browser), and nothing worked. I swear I did EXACTLY the same method that I did with my own and mine works fine. It's odd bc the google homepage shouldn't have anything to do with flashplayer. Btw, every other page I've seen seems to work okay with his browser. Anyway, do you guys know what might have happened?
Never really messed with the hulu hack myself... worst case scenario he will need to backup his apparently and data using titanium backup. Then I would make a nandroid backup of the current state as a place to get back to as a worst case scenario. Then sbf the phone and create a clean nandroid right away... then mess with the hulu hack in the event that it doesnt work again.

Try this
Try installing Dolphin Browser HD off of the market, and choose "on Demand" when starting the first time for flash plugin. See if it works then
lulz.......
You can't reinstall flash player from the market by uninstalling updates then reinstalling?
Everyone keeps saying to do a sfb (which I wanna do for myself) and I've asked in 2 other threads how to do that and asked exactgly what it does. No one has respinded. What is it and how do I do it?

Can you provide me with a direct link? And wouldn't a simple factory data reset work instead?

No, a factory reset only affects /data and /cache portion of the phone OS I believe. An sbf can be found here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32-full-sbf.html
This is the 2.3.32 full sbf that you will need to flash first. Next you will need the 2.3.34 system only sbf:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OXK9Q1ZG
Make sure after you do each sbf to do a battery pull, then boot into Moto recovery (hold down home button while pressing power, then when the droid comes up, press search button), then do a factory reset. This will help to ensure a clean sbf process without issues.
Good luck, and post back if you have questions.
PS make sure to use at least RSDlite 4.8 for flashing these files.

Thank you for the links. However, I'm not familiar with RSD Lite, so I don't know how to use it or how to flash these sbf files. I clicked on the first link and the instructions seemed vague and geared more towards people who already know what they are doing. I've only tried flashing 1 custom ROM (Fission) and I've flashed various states of the stock ROM several times. So, when it comes to this sbf stuff I'm very much a noob. I'm scared to death of bricking my phone or my boss's phone for that matter, so would you mind giving me step by step instructions on how to flash these two sbf's? Or at least send a link to a site with "noob" instructions? Thanks in advance.

RSD Lite was originally used for old Motorola dumbphones like the Razr and some early smartphones. I have an Evo now but I remember how to use it from back when I had a Razr. Just select the SBF file and after it sees the phone hit Flash. Make sure to get a second opinion from an actual Droid X user first since I'm not sure if there's anything extra that needs to be done.

Here is the link to download RSDlite 4.8.
http://www.multiupload.com/HL0ZAL9GK8
You will want to download this, and then install it on a windows machine. Then in order to use the SFB files (use 2.3.32 first, then 2.3.34), plug in your phone to your computer. I'm pretty sure you need the Android SDK installed, and the correct moto drivers installed as well (not sure.. i've had this set up on my computer forever...). Next, turn off your phone and press and hold "volume down + camera button + power button" and this will boot your phone into bootloader. It will say 30.03 (if you are on 2.3.15 OTA update) or 30.04 (if you are on 2.3.32 or 2.3.34 releases).
Then open up RSDlite on your computer which you installed it. With the phone plugged in, choose the "..." button in RSD lite and browse to the SBF file that you downloaded (remember 2.3.32 first) and then it should show your phone as a device listed below in RSDlite. If it recognizes your phone, you can click the start button in RSDlite. It will then start doing its thing.
My recommendation is to make a nandroid backup before doing this as a last resort if something goes wrong. The first time that you run the SBF file, it may get to like 98 or 99% and then say fail (something about passing BP baseband or something similar, and your phone will reboot). Don't worry, this has happened to me a couple times when I first started using the SBF files and scared me to death. After the phone reboots, pull out the battery and replace it back in. Then hold down the "home" button while pressing the power button. Then when the picture of the little green android dude shows up, press the search button (this is the motorola recovery screen). Then go to "factory reset/wipe data" (or something similarly titled). You can navigate the menus by using the volume up/down buttons. You will make your selections by pressing the camera button.
If you dont get the little android guy to show up, then turn the phone off and try again. After you have wiped data/factory reset, you may need to activate your phone. If it doesn't automatically prompt you to do this, from the dialer app, type *228 and then call. Then choose the option to program your phone, and you will be back in business.
After an SBF, your phone is completely wiped clean, so you will need to re-root, and install bootstrap/any other mods you need.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have more questions.
Here is a great how to guide. Great forum with lots a smart helpful people.

Can't remove clockwork mod after factory reset complete with .340 back. I have tried everything. I have read that I could remove 2 files in root exployer but am lost as to how to complete. Phone never been flashed. Just rooted with clockword Mod and rooted with Z4root. Please Help
Not too sure why you want to remove it. If you want to get rid of root and clockwork then use the SBF.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I still have a hard time understanding how people really think that doing a factory reset magically flashes the stock OS back. All it does it erase user data and apps. Use the root explorer method or sbf.
I have unrooted and have factory .340 but can't get rid of boot to clockwork mod. I have read sbf will not remove it, so I havent done it. i never flashed a rom, was just curious and wanted to learn. Just need help getting rid of clockwork mod at boot. I thought this was a place for help not downgrading people

This is the place for learning however there is a little doing on your part.
You want to learn but yet you wish to delete a primary tool to flash a Rom.
Your statements are contradictory in meaning.
Now with that said.

so I am banned from xda? I made a statment that is the way I felt and I dont know who you are but you must be a boss of somesort, don really know the chain of command, and I get a message from you I guess because I said he was degrading. In your read this first, your statmemt is to help noob's and be kind. If you will show me a kind word in his reply I will appoligize to him at once. So I guess I just need to know if you have banned me or what for just trying to get help.
After you SBF, do a factory reset using Motorola's recovery. When the phone boots back up, you will be unrooted and without Clockwork.

Thank you, could I be stupid as to ask for a link on how to do the SBF you are talking about. Sorry, I am just so comfused right now. I would really appreceiate as i have been make to look like a total idoit already. Thanks if you want to. no problem if not. Mike
There are no stupid questions.
Here is the guide I followed to SBF my phone. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html. Depending on which OTA version your phone is on, you may need to track down the 2.3.15 Full SBF, or if on a newer version, you will need to get the 2.13.32 Full SBF and the 2.13.40 System-Only SBF. 2.13.40 is the latest OTA from Verizon.
After you follow the steps outlined about, your phone will have a mish-mash of Official OTA and whatever custom ROM you may have had. Power the phone off, and then hold the Home key while powering it back on. Release Power, but keep holding Home until you see a screen with a folder icon with a "!". Release Home, press Search, and then select Factory Reset. Once it completes, reboot the phone. The first boot will take 5-7 minutes of staring at the animated Motorola splash, and you will have a complete, non-rooted, stock ROM without Clockwork.
Hope this helps.

If the SBF completes successfully, a factory reset from the Motorola recovery menu (can only be accessed using the key combo I mentioned earlier) will completely remove Clockwork. If Clockwork still boots, the restore was not done correctly.

For anyone who might want to remove the bootstrap recovery, outside of having to reload an SBF, the instructions below are what I used to remove Clockwork from my DX. (I was tired of it always booting into Clockwork when I powered my device off and on. I found this in another forum, which references a couple of other forums below.
Removing Bootstrap Recovery:
Removal from an Androidforums post:
UNINSTALL the Recovery APK (Droid X Bootstrapper) in Settings, Applications
Reboot
Run "adb shell"
Run "su"
Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
Reboot
or
1. Reroot
2. Get root explorer in the market
3. Uninstall the bootstrap app
4. Go into root explorer to system/bin
5. In top right corner tap r/w
6. Delete the file called hijack
7. Delete logwrapper
8. Rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper
9. Reboot and it should be gone.
(thanks to Droidforums member Hostility6)
The commands can be used with terminal emulator do all the commands except for the first command. (Run adb shell)
are you turning your phone on while holding volume down ...if so that is why its booting into clockwork mod...but in all fairness you were contradicting yourself.... and I am a noob as well and having issues with the clockwork 3.0 but I have given up because i cant downgrade without errors and there are no answers on these forums about its solution so i will wait it out... uninstall clockwork will also not get you stock and I cant understand why the phone is booting into clockwork recovery and not the OS.. or did I misread and misunderstand your original question...
I bought a DX earlier this week. It was updated to system 2.3.340 before i left the store. I also have a D2 and experience flashing ROMs and SBFing. What is puzzling me here is that no matter what ROM I install i get random reboots. This happens no matter what apps, activities, etc... i am doing, even when just idle, i will look down and phone is rebooting. I haven't tried SBFing the DX yet because i can't find a clear answer on how i need to do it. I know that a full .340 SBF does not exist yet. I have a full .32 SBF file and a system only .340 file. I am assuming that i would flash the .32 full, then the .340, or could i just flash the .32 and then let the phone update the factory way to .340? I am getting this reboot problem with Rubix 1.9.5, Fission 2.4.3, and GummyJar 2.5. Any advice, input, or help would be greatly appreciated. THanks in asvance.

try here http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html#comment220 scroll down towards the end (idk if you use windows or linux but the linux method of sbf'ing is alot easier ive used both) except in their directions it says an older sbf file just insert the one you have, then go here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html to download these zip files for kernel updater, 340 system update your baseband and bootloader should already be the correct ones, (i recently bought my X too) then once you finally root your newly sbf'd X and installed droid x bootstrap etc and get into clockwork mod recovery you can flash those 2 zips (recommend flashing only one at a time, reboot, and do the next) and then you should be updated to full .340

Thanks for the quick replies. Gonna try your suggestion tonight or tomorrow. Now i get random lock ups followed by a boot after about five minutes. The only upside right now is that its 4 days old so if i can get some resemblance of factory back on it then i can just exchange it Thanks again will report back with results.
And also by "insert the file you have", i assume you mean the file i have that is VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_01.sbf is the file i need to use in RSD Lite, then update the other files with clockwork recovery?
Thanks again.

LOL i am a dumbass, left the FF part out for somereason, thats the exact file name i have. Thanks again.\
Edit- Just tried this, i don't know whats wrong but it has the start button in RSD Lite greyed out when i select the file, its the exact one listed above. Gonna try same file from different locations
Ok, so now i am starting to worry. Tried 3 different .320 full sbf's. All the same result. Failed process close to the begging. Then on the phone it says
Critical Error
FEBE
0047
Please Helppppp. I don't need a really expensive paperweight, all i need to do is get it so that GummyJar doesn't show on boot and i can take it back, its brand new.
Try removing the battery. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power) then do a factory reset/restore.

Well... the SBF and updating where successful. But even after the SBF, SD Card Formating(Long format in windows, then 3 times on phone to be sure), clean install and download of all Fission stuff i normally use, still get random reboots. Gonna SBF again and try Rubix and see how that goes. If it still has problems too, i may SBF again and go to the store and return phone for a new one.

Try the .320 SBF, then .340 SBF. If that fails you will have to wait until you can get a hold of the next full SBF.
I went to a new computer and I flashed .15 SBF I belive full bc it was like 400mb with success on flash but my cute little android man pissing on craple is gone and boots immedieately into BL saying no system. So Now flashing .340 SBF and see what happens. If this don't work I am fresh out of ideas
That won't work. Flash the full .320 SBF then the system only .340 SBF and you'll be fine.

If you are on stock 2.3.15 now, then just go to Settings>About Phone>System Updates. This should do the OTA update and bring you to 2.3.340. No Need to flash the 2.3.320 full sbf and then the 2.3.340 sbf.
Your right that won't work. Its stuck in loader so no system will boot. So I need to go find the 320 sbf in order to get out of this. I'm asuming its the 30.04 bootloader preventing the 315 sbf from bringing me out and why the 340 system sbf won't rescue me. Ok ill try it thanks

Yeah, I think I remember reading if you have 30.04 bootloader, the 2.3.15 sbf will not work, but I can't remember for sure.
To check what bootloader you have, power off your phone. Now press and hold both volume keys; keep pressing the volume keys as you power the phone back up. The phone will proceed to enter bootloader mode and show you what bootloader you have.
Sorry for the pore responses and spelling. I was sneaking posts at the Verizon store while fighting with the manager to please charge my battery so I could flash my phone. Battery died on me apparently it will not accept any type of charge from the phone when stuck in boot loader.
bouchigo - Thanks you been a big help bud, Finally! Someone says how to put the X into that bootloader I couldn't figure it out so went with the clockworks .zip 340 system flash instead of the sbf. Had to google for the 320.sbf couldn't find much on here for this so it is downloading now and see what happens after that. I did find during my search that if the bootload was 30.04 the phone would not accept a 315 system so that is indeed accurate.
mlclm - Thank you
w00t phone just booted out of the dead with the 320.sbf!
Curious thing is what in my method caused the phone to do this?
Well no matter if im on 320 or 340 the phone wont activate over air programming and thus cant go anywhere past that damn droid icon, coincidence of bad timing was an outage in service on my area life is peachy now

Strange. I have had the ota programming fail and I had the option to skip. Then open dialer and do *22899 to program.

Try doing a "data/factory reset" and "wipe cache", after that reboot and see if fixes your problem.
1. Power off your phone
2. Press and hold the home key (the button with the little house on it).
3. While holding the home button down, power up the phone. Once phone starts to power up, you can let go of the power button, but keep holding the home button until you see a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle with a little android underneath the triangle.
4. Now, press the search button (the magnifying glass button).
5. Scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" (with the volume up and down buttons) and select it with the camera button.
6. Now scroll to "wipe cache partition" and do the same as you did previously.
7. Reboot and hope it solved your problem.
Yeah I did all that to try and skip the programming. I could do emergency dial and do *22898 and get to customer rep who found a outage in my area after that was fixer the phone programmed like it should and all was good.
Im about to post on Apex thread about a small issue. But all together the setup is working so much better faster cleaner then the old setup so 5 *'s.
For some reason if you hold power button and select restart the phone will boot into clockworks recovery every time. Uninstalled clockworks app and still does it. And currently have 2 SMS apps and wont let me uninstall any of them and its causing all SMS to be duplicated. Only bugs so far

I had that service problem too when I SBF'd. When I was on .15 I tried to use the
system updater on droid world (stupidly) to .340 and the patches. So after I got
stuck on the bootloader like you did, I just SBF'd to .320 and then went back
to droid world and then installed the system updater (.340) with bootstrap and
then the following patches. I had to go outside to get at least one bar of service
in order to activate the phone. After about 20 minutes or so I started getting
signal back the way it was before. I *228 again a few times to get rid of the
roaming icon. Sometimes it takes a few programs to get you to the correct towers.
Here's the droid world thread.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
Note: I of course activated the phone before using the system updater and patches.
Gain your signal back first before you get onto .340

Open droid x bootstrapper and hit the bootstrap recovery button. This should stop you booting to ce everytime you restart.

So, I flashed CM7 to my droid 2 following the instructions in the Cyanogenmod Wiki. When I rebooted my phone it got stuck on the Motorola "M" logo and won't do anything. I tried holding X and the power button to boot into recovery and it goes to the android guy with the ! in the triangle but then I can't get it to do anything after that. Hitting the search button on the keyboard does nothing. How do I fix this?
This happened to me after trying to install miui roms. My only option was to do a sbf factory restore using rsdlite. I found a video tutorial on youtube. Just do a youtube search for droid2 factory sbf restore you should find it easily. Your gonna need 3 seperate files all available from the website in the video links.

Nuts. I was afraid it was going to be something like that. I will see if I can find the video on youtube. Thanks for your help!
Stock recovery doesnt seem to work on Gingerbread, which is definitely not a good thing.
Before I got into the whole SBF restore using RSD Lite I did finally find a way to get into recovery. After holding the X and Power buttons to get to the little android guy I then discovered on another forum that you could hit both volume buttons as the same time and that finally did get me into recovery. Unfortunately, that did not do me any good. I tried wiping data and cache again and rebooting but didn't help. I then tried re-installing CM7 from there but it keeps aborting the install. I can't find my backup either although I have a feeling it would just abort like the CM7 install did. It appears to be the stock recovery as opposed to Bootstrap recovery. So, it looks like I am back to trying the SBF thing with RSD Lite. I will update this evening when I have a chance to try it.
Once you have all the files restoring with rsd lite takes literally no more than 15 minute. Its a pretty simple process. Go to this website droid2hacks.com and look for the unroot unbrick tutorial. It worked for me no problem and has links to all the correct files you will need.
Thanks so much guys for your help. I was able to SBF back to Froyo and then used this guide (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cy...rbread-rom-cm4d2-gb-now-ready-prime-time.html) to get CM7 installed. Everything seems to be working now! Droid 2 is definitely not the easiest phone to get a ROM installed on, but at least it's pretty easy to SBF and try again.
Ok here is where I am at...I can only get into stock recovery and I have formatted data and factory reset and I only get the Motorola logo, I cannot boot into Android!
I used the Boostrap loader to get into Clockwork Recovery and wiped everything to install Apex but when I installed Apex it would not boot! I couldn't do anything but get into stock recovery. After rooting we deleted some system apps which I hear you should not do since you can't get the factory reset to work!! What can I do now? I am downloading a couple files so i can try and apply an update.zip to at least get back to stock. I did take a nandroid of my phone after I rooted but I can't get into Clockwork Recovery to restore it. Thanks in advanced.
Reinstall the removed system applications or SBF.

Can you please provide directions? I saw a site that showed how to copy over the uninstalled apps but I don't know where to download them, do you have a place?
How do i copy the sbf back? At the moment the phone will not even power on for some reason.

Extract the zip file you used to install Apex and copy (push using adb) the contents of /system/app (or just /app/) from the extracted directory into your phone's /system/app/ directory.
You just have to do this for any apps you removed from the system folder.
If you would rather go the SBF route there are plenty of guides.
Also, to your note about the phone not powering on, if the battery died you will have to get a charged Droid X battery, as it will not charge in this state. Or you can splice a cable to charge the battery manually.
To check the battery state enter bootloader mode (hold both volume buttons and press power) and check whether is says 'OK To Program' or 'Battery Low'.

Also its important to tell you that if you sbf on a low battery you could brick.... But even still I would say sbf is still the easiest option... You need the correct .sbf files and a program called rsd lite enter dl mode on the phone and bam stock dx. Make sure you wipe cache
/data after sbf in stock recovery or it sometimes loops

That's not really true, you just need to charge your battery. I've done this several times and a universal charger from radio shack fixed me up nicely (25 bucks). I've lost battery in the middle of sbf several times though and the Droid X has been unbrickable for me.
I'll put this out there though... if you do run dead in the middle of sbf you have to install ubuntu or another brand of linux in a VM or on another box, and flash your SBF with SBF_Flash. Unlike RSD Lite, that works 100% of the time no matter what. I've been "bricked" and nearly **** myself until I tried it on linux and it worked without a hitch.
Also I did this cut my charger wire and put colors accordingly on Battrey directly and recharged and started over
