Droid X Stuck on M

I had an older gingerbread leak, and decided to upgrade to a newer gingerbread leak. Well that is not where the problem came from. I stupidly decided to install the crt animation zip file. Turns out after reading comments it leaves you stuck at the M logo.
Any suggestions on SBFing back to froyo so I can get my gingerbread back on. I have RSDlite, but in the gingerbread bootloader it won't recognize my Droid X.

I was running the .595 Gingerbread leak and I was able to SBF back to Froyo with no issues whatsoever. Are you certain all of the drivers are properly installed on the PC?

Yeah they installed. I have SBF'd using RSDlite before, but what exactly do I need to do to do it from gingerbread. I can get to clockwork, and from there to the gingerbread bootloader, but once there my Droid X is not recognized.

Forget about Clockwork, just turn your phone completely off. Then press the volume down and camera keys while you press the power button. Release all keys after about 2-3 seconds. This should get you right into the bootloader and RSD should see your phone.

Ah yes, its comming back to me now. It has been recognized and is currently SBFing I believe. If I run into any more trouble I'll let you know.
Thanks

No problem glad I could help

Just finished. Phone simply boots to bootloader screen like I went to to initiate the SBF.

OK if SBF has completely finished pull the battery to power off. Then press "Home" and power until you see the Motorola logo. Release power and continue to hold "Home" until an exclamation appears. Then release "Home" and press "Search" From the recovery menu you will need to clear cache a couple of times and then reboot and all should be well. Anytime you SBF from GBread to Froyo you will need to do this or you will get boot loops. Let me know if this works for you.

Thats odd. The logo is still red. I am now downloading froyo from http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...id-x-gingerbread-2-3-3-release-prerooted.html
Thats how I did it when I SBF'd a while back. For some reason I downloaded a different version from another thread. I will SBF that and see what happens.

Yeah try that Official 2.3.340 SBF and then boot into recovery after SBF'ing and clear the cache out. The SBF you previously used may have been corrupt somehow.

Okay it is currently SBFing. Once it finishes I'll boot into recovery wipe data/cached. Then I'll boot up and see how it goes.

I never thought I'd be so happy to see the Froyo "M" xD. Just booted up. Gotta root, then do the gingerbread stuff again. How can I get to .595 again? I do have the TBH app by the way. I just want to make sure I do everything right. Rooting with Z4root right now.
Well its activating right now.
Hmm said it didnt activate. Trying again.
Activated. Now going to root.

Ok once it's rooted hop into the Market and grab Droid 2 Bootstrap (Not X)
Then go to http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/7047-droidx-gingerbread-2-3-3-4-5-588-install-patch-root.html and pick up the 3 files for the .588 leak and flash those in order. Once booted into .588 then go to http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/136891-official-thread-gingerbread-leak-root-get-now.html and grab the .595 version that you want and flash that through the Droid 2 Bootstrap as well. You cannot flash .595 directly from Froyo or it will fail when flashing.

I thought by enabling USB debugging Droid X bootstrapper would work I believe. If I am not mistaken I used the Droid X bootstrapper to get from froyo to gingerbread in the first place, and from there I went to .595 back previously.

I can't be certain. I haven't tried the Droid X bootstrapper but if it gets you into Clockwork then you should be ok.

I thought I had z4root on my sd card still. Gotta go download it agian.
Stupid computer keeps telling me its a virus and deleting it.
My dad amped up all the security things on here lmao. Just got it downloaded. Root time.
This is taking a while, though I do remember it taking a while when I first did it.

Sweet sounds like you got it.

Yup I think so. You've been a wonderful help, especially since its late here. I'm pretty tired, so remembering all these things you told me was not about to happen haha.
You are a life saver.
And to think all of this could have been avoided if I read the stinking comments below the crt animation thing. THis is such a waste of time haha, but then again, I gotta do it. We all make stupid mistakes sometimes.
Wow taking forever to root.
Edit: Rebooting my phone since it was taking too long. I heard that was a problem with z4root anyway. Time to try it agian.
Okay root is working. Time to move on to the next steps.

I remember having issues with Z4root as well. The first time I think it force closed on me (or stopped responding and gave me the option to force close) and kept doing that until I rebooted and tried it again.

Wow phone reboots soooo fast. I guess this SBF business wasnt so bad. Really cleans things up I guess.

[Q] GingerAle to liberty

Is there anyway to reboot recovery on the GingerAle ROM? Just installed it on a friends DX and she isnt a fan so I wanted to revert her back to liberty. Any thoughts on how I can do this would help Bootstrapper isnt letting me reboot to recovery and when i try to manually reboot recovery pushing the search button does nothing once im on the android with ! screen. any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Are you trying DX or D2 Bootstrapper? Most Ginger builds require D2.

Using the DX bootstrap. I wanted to ask for any other thoughts before trying the D2 one. Will give it a shot today and report back

So d2 bootstrap allowed me to get back into recovery but after flashing liberty 1.5 it hangs on the liberty bootscreen. Anyone able to give me any help on this problem? Doing this for a friend and realizing why I will NEVER buy a locked down phone.

You can't go from a GB rom to a Froyo rom, you'll need to SBF back to 2.3.340, then go to LB 1.5. However, if you didn't, you can try wiping data/cache again, but I'm fairly certain a SBF is required to go back from GB.

I just did this. Cause I was trying to go back to Liberty to recover some of my data via Titanium. Was coming from gingerale too
SBF Back to absolute stock.
Itll probably bootloop. Pull battery and hold home and turn on. Then do a data reset and cache wipe.
After that reboot into stock droid x rom. Then download bootstrap
Then you can bootstrap back to liberty.
If you have questions hit me up. My phone literally just finished doing this. I thought i was screwed cause it was boot looping. But i'm good now.

The problem is that you flashed a froyo rom after coming from a gb rom and you probably didn't sbf. If you want to go gb to froyo, you MUST sbf back to stock froyo first. If you're not sure how to do this, there are tons of "how to" threads on here.

Thanks a lot guys. I figures an sbf would be required. I flashed gingerale 2.0 and she seems happy with it. Gonna investigate this sbf more. Coming from HTC and Samsung phones Motorola is a whole new world lol.

The SBF process is easy dude. At first glance it seems really complicated but there's really nothing to it. There's even youtube videos if you feel a little uneasy.

[Q]Just plain lost

Ok so as my previous post stated I just got my droid x and rooted it. I am in the process of installing a rom but have failed at this point.
For starters I have the droid x bootstrap installed and "running". Buy "running" I mean I can get to the clockwork recovery but only buy the bootstrap button or battery pull for 1min then boot. Booting while holding the home button stops at the exclamation android guy. I cant get past it no matter how hard I push the search button . So thats one of my problems but not a big one.
When I went to install liberty 1.5 I did a data factory reset and catch wipe then installed the rom. It got stuck on the liberty logo. So I tried again this time following the guide on these forms on how to install a rom correctly. Same thing. I tried three more times following three different guides and still was stuck at the liberty logo. So I gave up and followed the install guide on these forms again, but just restored from my backup. I am good and running again but I still have the liberty logo, which from what I read is normal.
When I got home from work I started digging into why it didn't work and found several things that may cause it. Now this is where I get lost. I have read the sometimes it just fails and you need to try again. But I also read the doing a SBF will also fix this. So I dug into what a SBF is and how to do it since this seams to be the #1 fix for everything. WHAT, UHH, MMMMM, K. So I read you will need to flash 2 files to SBF successfully. I have no problems with the RSD lite as it is only one file and you cant screw that up. But then I comes to choosing the right SBF file for your phone I get lost. All the versions listed are WAY below what I have. I am currently on 4.5.588. So I jumped over to androidforms to see if theirs anything their. They list x.x.596 as the most recent OTA but when I go to check for updates it says there are none.
SO, my questions are:
Is the reason I cant flash the liberty rom because I am running 4.5.588?
What do I flash if I need to SBF?
What am I missing about this OTA update? Is it being rolled out now or is my rom the most recent OTA?
Is their anything else I need to know that might help me in the future? Like I said I am new to this area of the forms and have not clew whats being released, changed, rooted, or what ever else.
I came from a rooted eris so Im not root dumb. But their is a big difference between the eris and the X.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME THANKS!!!!!!!!

The new 2.3.3 OTA is stable and very nice looking on my DX, OTA not rootable yet but give it time.
Biggest life saver about the DX is the the part of the phone that ppl mess up and turn their phones to bricks is extremely safe on the X, not bulletproof but all the info in these forums I believe can bring them back regardless of what happens. I was very overwhelmed at first with my X but very comfortable now that ive successfully managed the sbf.

Yeah that's one of the things I really noticed. If you brick your phone it seams its not the end. So im still a little confused with your explanation on SBFing. You say that 2.3.3 is the latest OTA but its not rootable. So am I looking at the wrong number when I say my version is 4.5.588.

Reading the noobs guide to droid x allowed me to figure out that I have the 30.04 bootloader and I will need to flash the 2.3.34 file. But I would still like to know why my version is so much higher then 2.3.34.

By far, this is the easiest way to sbf back to stock froyo

Was able to flash the liberty gingerbread rom tonight! I am kind of wondering if the version of ota/bootloader I have is the reason liberty 1.5 wouldn't work for me.

your looking at the version of the software build, complete jargon here but say your on android 2.2.1 version blah blah blah, what i was referring to was although you may have a higher version of 2.2.1 than what you are reading, a lower version of a higher android software such as 2.3.3 is better than a higher version of 2.2.1 same page?

[Q] Can't flash back to Broodcomb

I had Drew Garen's Broodcomb v3 running for awhile, but I wanted to return to stock to see if I had gotten the Gingy OTA yet. SBF'd back to .340 just fine. Found I hadn't gotten the update yet, so I went about going back to Broodcomb....except it won't work. I root with z4, bootstrap, then install the .595 from the Drew Garen site so I can then flash Broodcomb....but it never gets past the boot logo. I so the usual, format data/system, battery pulls, reflash.....and nothing has worked so far. Anyone have any ideas?

Just throwing this out there, but did you try using the stock recovery function to wipe user data and cache? Power off the phone, then hold down power and home until the andriod guy pops up with an exclamation point and then hitting search.
If that fails too then you might just want to SBF the phone back to the out of the box .340 build and try it again. I know on mine I've been having some strange things popping up with flashing ever since I started playing with the OTA release, but this doesn't look like the case for you somehow. Hmm...

I just gave up trying...went to try another of Drew's. Turns out, the .595 leak on his site was the problem. I got the 2 part zip file from Team Black Hat, and that did the job. Only now, I have another issue that came up when I didn't like another of Drew's roms....not I have a corrupt bootloader....YAAAAAAY!!! Time for more research

Newer OS?

I flashed the Deodexed .596 onto my phone back when it came out. Is there anything newer to flash too? I have constant problems with .596 it is terrible, it lags like crazy, will literally stop responding to my inputs for 30 seconds randomly reboot it just never ends.
I do use Launcher Pro and have nothing but problems sometime I will go to my app drawer and it will be empty etc. I have had to put some of my shortcuts on my main screen since sometimes I cant get them from app drawer. Half the time when it boots it crashes LP and Force Closes it.
Any help would be great.

The latest OTA version is .605.
I would recommend SBFing to .596 (just to be safe) then taking the OTA. This will make sure that everything is right where it's supposed to be.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

The newest sbf is actually 602... You can do that... And no real need to ota to 605... In my opinion anyways... because the only real difference is a keyboard fix for the stock keyboard
Post script: 602 is way better then 596... I wasn't able to stand that build... Or even the roms that were based off of it
We have nothing to feat but running out of beer

Is there a Rom I can flash to get to .602?

If you have either premium versions of Rom Manager or Rom Toolbox from the android market...
There are .zips to take you from any kernel up to .602.
You'll have to do that or SBF to 602 (my recommendation) before flashing any 602/605 based rom.
