So i recently made the mistake of formatting everything on my Droid X. The System, Data, & Boot were all formatted using Bootstrap. I have a full Droid X backup, but i still can't get it to boot past the Motorola Logo. Whenever i have my Droid X on and plug it into the computer it is not recognized at all. Is there anyway i can bring my Droid X back? I also have a Droid X "sbf" file and RSDLITE.
I have also tried putting the Droid X into the default recovery mode, which is really all i can do with it. But it still does not get recognized by my computer.
Can someone please help me resolve this problem, so i can get it to boot and be recognized by my computer when it is plugged in via USB?
Thanks in advance.
You need the USB drivers. Then put the phone in bootloader mode and RSD lite should see it.

I have all USB drivers installed, but how do i put the droid x into bootloader mode? I've put it in recovery mode but don't know how to put it into bootloader mode.
Power button + camera button + volume down button.

A while ago I ran into a problem where my Droid X wouldn't boot and by the time I was ready to do the SBF my battery was dead.
If you can, borrow someone else's Droid X to charge your battery, or just use their battery. Or perhaps you can go to a Verizon store and they can put a charge on your battery for you.
But if that isn't an option for you don't worry. You'll need to sacrifice a USB cable. Take an old USB cable and cut the small end off, you'll need to strip the black and red wire. Take the battery out of your phone. Use electrical tape to tape the red wire to the positive terminal of the battery and black to negative. Plug the USB cable into your wall charger. I let mine sit like that for about an hour or a bit more and then I had enough charge in the battery to run the SBF.
Good luck!
Ok, thanks.
Yeah i saw them doing that with the battery on youtube, but wasn't sure if there was another way or not. But i guess ill just do that, because my phone has been off & not working for like 5 days. I need to get it back up & running asap. Im dying. I have plenty of usb & wall chargers i can use.

or something like that
Can you give more information. What were you doing before the problem started? What ROM are you running?

from the time it was new stock phone if it is plugged in to the chager or usb while turned off if you try to turn it on it dont power on it brings up some bootloader screen that say usb batt ok
you have to unplug the phone to power it on
???? anyone have this problem?
It doesn't really seem like that big of a deal if it only goes to the bootloader if it's off when you plug it in and turn it on. In fact I think that has something to do with how we can get into koush's bootstrapped clockwork if you do that very same procedure. It's a lifesaver if you aren't able to get past the M logo.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
you are right its not that big of a deal
but when i try to reboot into recovery i have to make sure it is unplugged or it will go to bootloader........and also if battery goes dead to where phone turns off i can not just plug it in and power on because it goes to bootloader instead of starting
i was just wondering if all D2s do this if there is a simple work around ?
I have never had that problem on my D2 so it could just be yours if you want to try you can sbf back to factory state and see if that fixes your problem. I haven't heard of anybody else's D2 having that glitch so it's either something you did (which I doubt bc you said it did it out of the box) or something moto/verizon did.

well i have never sbfed so maybe its time to learn
update
i SBFed and it still does the bootloader thing on start up if pluged in to usb
it does not do it if pluged into wall charger
i'm trying to flash my droid x using rsd and the 2.3.15 file. it was stuck on the M screen after trying to restore a backup. the battery level was also low so now for some reason it won't charge with a power cord. hooked up with the usb on my laptop, the green light is on acting like its charging at least but its been plugged in for an hour and when i get into the recovery menu to do the flash it says the battery is still to low to program. i'm confused. any advice asap!?!?!
If you had 2.3.32 or higher before the RSD, you may have hosed your phone. To my understanding, there's no rolling back. Good luck!
i have never got the rsd to even start working so it shouldn't be hosed. just not sure what is wrong. i've fixed this thing a million times from small issues. this is mind boggling though. have it plugged into the wall now, no green light just stock on the loader screen. if i unplug it and turn it on into the bootloader menu it still says low battery...

Two ideas come to mind.
* Go to VZW and have them charge your battery or ask a friend.
* there is a cut a usb cable method that could get a bit messy.
Once the battery is up then attack the "M" issue such as a battery pull and button hold. A SBF may be in store no big deal.
Once you up and running again start looking at the newer update SBF such as .320 or .340
fixed. thread can be deleted.
I ran into this last night. I ended up pulling the battery out and wiring up an old usb cable to the pins on the droid x. The outside pin on the charging port side is (+) (red from usb cable) and the outside pin towards the sd card is (-) (black from usb cable). This tricked the bootloader into thinking it was connected to a fully charged battery. At this point I installed the drivers 4.6.0 and RSDLite 4.8 onto a windows xp computer. I connected the droid to power, held down vol -, camera, and power to get it booted to the bootloader. Once in the bootloader it said battery fully charged connect data cable. I connected the data cable, let windows load the drivers and then RSDlite flashed back to VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf which fixed the phone.
Hi im running alien 4 and im unlocked, my ATRIX wont charge through the pc usb or through the stock moto wall charger.. I tried using a different micro usb cable to no avail but if I turn the phone off and plug it in, the green led turns on and the phone starts.. I even have 2 batteries and neither work
EDIT* I just tried using my dads phone wall charger and that didn't work either
Your usb port might be borked, or worse the power supply inside phone is jacked. If you don't find a solution soon then I would think about warrantying the.phone.
I voided my warranty.
Can adb, fastboot or rsd recognize your phone?

Try turning the phone off and then as you plug it in hit the power button and let the phone boot. Will it charge then? I had this problem and ended up having to flash the full Pudding SBF to resolve the issue.

Hey, come on. Fix or get rid of that signature. I've seen tons of people get confused from your posts because you don't have a separating line or anything. And sometimes it (weirdly) goes along with posts and messes everyone up. It's just been bugging the piss out of me...
Hello,
Ive been an iphone user for the longest time and wanted an introduction to the android world so I picked up a droid x with clean esn for a really decent price.
The original problem was that it was stuck at the boot loader screen with an error code, I was able to get to a clean boot loader screen with cam+vol down and power, where I attempted to flash back a stock image. The boot loader showed 30.04.
The flash failed, and my screen was stuck at "SW Update in Progress" or similar, after which the unit completely powered down and has not come back up since.
I have tried new batteries, charging stock battery, all the tricks for trying to turn it on, removing battery and putting back in etc. and I cannot get any sign of life from the device besides a green charge light when plugging in via USB to computer (no light when plugged into wall charger). A couple times I could get the usb connection/disconnection sound from windows, but now I cant even seem to get that.
About to sell it on ebay for parts but wanted to check with the pros first to see if there is any other options I can try.
Thanks.
Try getting another, fully charged, Droid X battery, and using it to attempt the SBF process.
Then try to SBF the device.
Edit: Which SBF file did you try to flash the phone with?

Well, I bought a new battery on ebay with a charger, charged that over 24 hours, charged the OEM one for 24 hours.. not a response.
New battery read 4volts on multimeter, OEM read around 2.5.
I think I flashed it with VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf
Attached is the log from the flash if it helps
ended up selling it for $50 so someone thought they could either use it for parts or fix it, which is just as well I only paid $25 for it.
Thanks guys.
I know that you might heard of what I'm going to say tons of times but I searched the whole internet and still got no solution
I tried to update my motorola defy+ and then something went wrong, now, I'm stuck in a situation that I can't enter the
bootload or the recovery mode. all I see is a black screen(like the phone is off) and a white led above the screen(only when it's with the USB)
in added, no software on the PC do not recognize the phone when it's connected.
there's any way to solve this?

Switch off the phone, then press vol up and then the power button. See if the bootloader comes. I'm sure you ain't doing it correctly:laugh:

Does pressing both volume keys and holding them while you press the power button bring you to noman's land too?

I have the identical problem. I left the phone plugged into USB on the computer for 15 hours. No change. A wall charger does not turn the charging light (white light) on.
I have tried 3 or 4 different chargers and nothing helps.
If your system partition is corrupted it well never charge.
You must charge your battery with the MacGyver method or with another defy. Then you will be able to flash a sbf with RSD lite.

I'm facing the same issue after trying to install Quarx CM10 2nd Boot Build 09.07.2013. The Phone ran fine for some time and then died down. On Charging- battery would show ? when it was off so Tried the data wipe and reinstalling the ROM to the same consequence. Then wiped the system and after that disconnected the charger from AC outlet- after that- on ac charge- stuck at M Logo, and USB charging gives white LED. Able to enter bootloader with both VOL keys and power keys pressed- get message -
"motorola defy bootloader 09.10 battery low cannot program"
I'm not sure would be able to use MacGyver method, howver I can get an inexpensive universal charger to charge the battery- will it work?
Battery charger should work, and your problem should be fixed by a sbf flash

There's no harm in trying to charge the phone though, even though it might (will most likely) not work.

OP had asked whether an universal battery charger could fix the problem. Low battery error would've been obviously fixed by charging the battery via an universal charger, which I recommended, or by MacGyver method, which he had said he may not be able to do. That's why I recommended it. Since he tried to charge it the regular way by simply connecting it to a wall outlet, it didn't work.

I can confirm that instead of the McGyver method, using a new battery restores the device to being able to be reflashed. Yes, you are starting all over, but instead of a brick, your Defy is back in service.
Thanks to everyone who made the suggestions. I'm sure the McGyver method works for some, but a new battery and a $5.00 charger from eBay restored my phone.
