I am trying to do a hard reset on my Droid X as something gets it stuck on the Eye during bootup and it just stays on the screen.
I did the hold power and home to get the exclamation point with the Android figure, but when I hit the search hard key, nothing happens, and my understanding is that it is suppose to bring up a menu that allows me to choose to factory wipe it.
Anyone seen this before? I am on the non-rooted leaked Gingerbread rom.

When you get to the exclamation point again, push the volume up and down key at the same time. That will bring up the menu. then do a wipe data/factory reset (3 or 4 times is recommended)
Did you get it??
Got it! Thanks, that was exactly right, wonder why the web was filled with so many instruction to hit the search button...
Cool! It should have been posted with whatever directions you followed to flash the GB leak.

I downloaded squidly's new rom and then i downloaded a kangerade theme, now know they obviously don't mix. My phone will turn on and act normal and then restart and keep going through a boot loop. Is there anything I can do? Please let me know right away, I'm kind of new to droid 2 since i just switched from a D1 please help.
You will most likely have to SBF. did you do a nandroid before installing the theme?
I do, but I don't know how to sbf, I have nanadroid, but to be honest i probably messed my phone up even more because I did a factory reset (X and power button, search bar.) I get into the android set up screen and Kangerade is STILL on... It does the continuous loop again...

Try these steps first.
Code:
1. Pull your Battery.
2. Replace battery and power on while holding down the X key.
3. Wait for the android triangle to load.
4. Press the Search key (the magnifying glass)
5. Use down arrow and navigate to wipe cache partition and press OK.
6. Use down arrow and navigate to wipe data and press OK.
7. Reboot phone.
If this does not get you out of the bootloop you will need to SBF. Please see this thread:

im trying to get my Motorola bravo out of the motorola boot screen. i rooted my phone with superonclick. that wasn't the problem, what was the problem was that. i wanted to install a new font on the system. i changed the file name because i read this stupid artical about doing that. and now i am stuck on the Motorola screen. i have already wipe/factory reset and called at&t and they say i can return the phone and get another. but if there is anyone out there that could help with this. then i would be a verryyy happy person! cause i wanna do this and get back to my live
Out of curiosity...What method did you use to wipe data/factory reset?
I found myself in this situation a couple of times and factory reset + wipe data worked.
Just so we are on the same page, what I did is have phone completely off, press volume down and hold, then press power button till Motorola comes out, then release both buttons.
Android robot with yellow triangle comes out. Press the lower right hand part of the screen and you should see a few options on the top. Use up and down to select factory reset and wipe data, press the bottom portion of the screen to confirm, touch the OK a few times if you feel the bar isn't moving.
Then you should be prompted that your phone has been reset and you are OK to reboot.

I'm having the same problem, but nothing happens when i press the lower right hand part of the screen.
I rooted it with superoneclick. the problem arose when I tried to flash a bravoX rom. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Try using the volume rocker. If you press them both at the same time the menu should come up.

i did this but no robot came up. still stuck at motorola symbol. all i did was root and install bootstrap recovery. i need help since this is my only phone.
Hi, My friend has a droid x, and I tried to install the galaxy S theme on it for him, and it installed fine, but when I turned on the phone it would boot loop, (running stock Froyo) so I told him to wipe data/Cache, and now the phone won't get pass the galaxy s logo, what do I do?
Im also new at this so just making a suggestion. Hold the power button and home button down at the same time. A triangle with exclamation will appear. Press the search menu button. Use the volume buttons to scroll up or down. Could try wipe/factory reset if you have everything backed up or easy to reload.Once scrolled down to that option hit the camera button to perform the operation. I guess u pulled the battery first to see if that would reset? Again Im new at this and have done it myself but try at your own risk if there are no other replys.
Try that. If that doesn't work you may need to sbf your phone.

Hello All,
I've been looking on the site for hours and can't figure this out. Hopefully someone can help me.
Sorry if this is a similar post to someone else but after reading lots of post none helped me out.
I just got a Motorola Atrix 4g unlocked and tried to update the OS from the offical site using their software and when it was almost finished the Atrix rebooted and not is stuck in a boot loop where it gets to the pulsing M logo then restarts.
I'm not sure what to do and not too familar with rooting or anything i just tried to use the offical site software so i wouldn't have issues and bang i got F up. hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday. I asked someone on the motorola support forums and he helped me like this: first you need to do an external hard reset. Here are the instructions but there is a small variation once you get to the triangle/android screen, because in gingerbread you are supposed to do this: "Instead of tapping the lower right corner of the screen push both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time for the recovery menu.
Then, instead of tapping "OK", use the power button to confirm."
To perform an External Manual Reset of your handset to restore to factory settings, read instructions below and then perform.
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen
Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up
Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and tap OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap Yes and OK
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap OK.
Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.
I hope this will help. It saved my phone yesterday. On the other hand, welcome to the world of gingerbread bugs and glitches...
oh and never use official updates in the phones settingz it will.f stuff up k
