My friends Droid x is rooted and he set up a pass lock on it but he has since forgotten it. Without having a custom Rom I believe it's possible to sign in your gmail account in order to unlock the screen however there isn't an option to do so. Is there a way to bypass this or is the only other option to boot into recovery and start all over? Any help would be appreciated.

Restore a backup? Or adb into the phone and reflash the current custom ROM.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Agreed with droid user...there is a app that you can use from adb to install it and it will bypass the lockscreen once you reboot it

I'm sorry but what's adb? How would you do that? Link to a tutorial?

If you keep trying random pins, it'll eventually give you the option to sign in with your Google account if you get it wrong enough times

If you are on GB the stock recovery button pattern is different. I had the same problem on my dx. You should Google it and try that. I don't remember the button pattern. Pm me if you need more help.

Flashing a new is sbf is very easy I just done mine yesterday ( bricked mine trying to change rom too.) Now I'm back up and running without an issue. Pm me for the link to the sbf if you still need it

your ol' lady's gonna be pissed.....
Ok..sbfd...was really easy compared to using nvflash on tegra2. The longest part of the whole thing was dling the sbf file over a ****ty mi-fi connection.
Z4 root, liberty toolbox nightly, bam - running liberty gb.
Not so bad... hopefully wont bar my gf from allowing me to **** around with her phone in the future.

Ok peeps. Here is the deal. I switched over from an evo to Verizon Droid x waiting on the galaxy s2. So kind of new, kind of not.
Here is my issue. I sbf'ed to froyo so I can gain root. Then back to a 596(?) Gingerbread and it worked great. Now... it took an ota and installed it. Not sure how, but it did. I kept the root (su permissions) but now it will not boot into clockwork recovery. I've used the ROM manager and dx boot logger program (sorry can't remember the exact name) and all it does is reboot, get the Motorola logo then blank screen. It sits for a while then I get impatient and pull the battery.
Any help would please be helpful.

Are you sure you're still rooted?
Have you had an app ask for superuser permissions?
If you have a terminal emulator, open it and type su to see if you get the #.
If you don't, you are no longer rooted.
Yes, I have had apps ask for permission. Like titanium, wireless tether, etc.

Hi everyone I have a rooted evo and I've rooted and unrooted a couple times and I am very compfortable with flashing roms because I do it all the time. My boss has a milestone x and she wants me to root it for her. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of roms that are stable and work well on milestone x also hotspot working! Also is there an amonra recovery I can put on. If anyone has the files I will need to root that would be great. On my Evo I just unrevoke then flash amonra and a Rom and its in business. Is there a big change on how to root this? Thanks a lot Droidxers I really appreciate it!

I rooted mine using SuperOneClick root and it worked easily!
As for a working ROM I have read that it is a long process to make Droid X ROM's work with our APN's and it is possible to get stuck with Verizon's network so I haven't even tried it.
What I have done that has made the experience much different is install some apps and script's that 180'ed the stock ROM and make it feel like a completely different device.
Well this is what I did, I searched gingerbreak on 4shared . Com website, downloaded, open it, then press root. The root is successful when it turns off, if it doesn't work redownload another apk..
For the CMW recovory..I searched droid x bootstrapper, again on 4 shared..pressed bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery.
Far as custom roms go its not many that work on Milestone X, Liberty 2.0.1 does with no tweakin..
Miui and Cm7 works with a script kernel tweak seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=vxZ7cBt2K-Q you just have to delete the Verizon kernel script with notepad and save the changes..the exact tutorial is under "show more" under the video..that should work

I have a droid x flashed to metropcs. If i change the rom will it remove the flash on my phone?

Help please!!!!

I do believe so. I was looking into flashing one of my X's to Cricket and it seems that a custom startup script needs to be setup to make it reflash on every boot as it is lost on power off.
I would hold off until someone more savvy to this responds.
But if I were to guess, you would lose it.

No it will not unless you sbf or use an AIO. I am on cricket network and I flash custom roms all day. The only thing I have to do is setup internet and Mms. If your not familiar with setting anything up after a flash I wouldn't flash a new rom until you find out more about it. I believe metro doesn't use proxy so all you would have to do is flash a rom and use endokis mms fix found in the Eris forums. Sorry I can't help u out any further tho. Good luck....

You have to SBF.
Google for instructions on how to do so, it's really easy and returns your phone to stock.

Thanks I will def try that...
Update: sbf work flawless... now my question is... if I want to flash miui.us do I use boostrap X or 2?

Use Droid 2 Bootstrapper.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Are you on froyo stock or gingerbread stock? Because if you are using a newer version of MIUI and on the froyo kernel then youll get stuck on the bootlogo. One good way to tell if youre on froyo or gingerbread is by the boot logo, red moto=gingerbread; white moto=froyo
if ur on froyo u use dx bootloader, if ur on gb u use d2 bootstrap

I find that Droid 2 Bootstrapper works just as well on Froyo.

I finally was able to revert back to sbf. 340.. now I wanna goto miui as that was I wad running on my shift..
