[GUIDE] Enabling old-school CRT off animation in Gingerbread

For this you need to be running the ROOTED Gingerbread leak on a Droid X.
IF YOU HAVE MADE MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR FRAMEWORK-RES.APK, DO NOT USE THIS FILE. You'll have to make your own.
All thanks go to the guys in this thread for directions. This is just the finished framework-res.apk
Flashable zip:

Anyone have any idea why my Clockwork Bootstrap is not working?
I'm on the leaked rooted GB, trying to bootstrap recovery to install CRT animation.
I know my root works because I've used root explorer just fine.
I load up Koush's Bootstrap Recovery, Bootstrap, get the Success message (first time I ran it I approved Superuser permissions), I then Reboot Recovery.
Upon reboot, I get the red Motorola logo followed by nothing but a blank screen. It requires a battery pull at this point, upon which it then just boots normal afterward.
I've rinsed and repeated several times and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Koush's Bootstrap as well....same issue.

I believe you have to use the droid 2 bootstrap to be able to get into recovery

Ahh...so I have to purchase the Droid 2 Bootstrap now too...

Yup would have to use D2 bootstrap, its too bad that since already had dx bootstrap purchased .
Why doesnt the dx bootstrap work ?

You can get it for free from the Gingerbread prerelease thread on My Droid World

Free? Is this sanctioned by Koush, or did someone just illegally post a pirated apk up without the author's permission? I'm all about free stuff, but I'm not looking to rip anyone off.

Koush gave away both apks free on his website, but the links are broken now.

[Q] Which Recovery to use?

Hey all, this is my first time rooting a moto phone, I'm used to HTC and working w/CWMod and most recently Team Win Recovery.
Anyway, I just want to make sure that I'm going to do it right when it comes to putting a recovery s/ware on the phone - if I understand correctly I need the Bootstrap App (2.99 in market) for the Droid 2 ?
Now, if I have that do I need CWMod as well, or is the bootstrap it's own recovery app? that's where I'm a bit confused. I installed CWMod, but haven't done anything w/it yet.
I like doing everything via recovery and NOT via an app on the phone, so what I'd like to is a nice recovery app, where I can reboot into recovery, run nandroid backups and flash ROMs (if he lets me lol).
Help appreciated.

6) open bootstrap and select reboot recovery the second item...

Everything makes sense to me except #5. Maybe it will make more sense once I install the app?
I didn't use SuperOneClick, I used Psouza's Motorola Root Tools v 1.7 - worked awesome, I guess it is a 'superoneclick' type of s/ware, just not sure if it's THE s/ware you speak of - either way, same result
Will install the BootStrap later tonight after work and go from there. Are you running a custom ROM on your Pro? I've been so spoiled w/the HTC development, trying to find something for the Pro is like a needle in a haystack, lol
Thank you

is there a cwm for different devices or has the cwm to be modificated for every device? And exist somewhere a Forum or Website to watch the cwm progression with download options?

5) ok my english is not so good... you must open bootstrap, after root and then you must click on "bootstrap recovery"
then open clockworkmod and install droid's 2 recovery.
open again bootstrap and click "reboot recovery"
your phone will reboot on recovery...
I have installed cyanogenmod 7 that you can find on droidforums, or apex. but now I have the regular gb rooted only, because I have some issues with gsm data...

Boostrap recovery is old. You need to flash the sbf and install 2ndinit recovery instead. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559109

[Q] Can't get into clockworkmod recovery to install custom roms

hello all, I am a noob when it comes to modding my smartphone however I am somewhat tech savvy. I have a problem getting cyanogenmod 7.2.0 to install on my rooted milestone x. I have been told that a milestone x is just another droid x port. I have already rooted my phone with super one click 2.3.3.0. I have backed up my phone with Titanium Backup Premium and installed ROM Manager Premium. I followed the instructions on various webpages but I get an error when trying to install the mod. The error is:
- Install from sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ..
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now here is my specs:
Model - milestone x
system version - 4.5.604.MB809.ACG-nTelos.en.US
Android Version - 2.3.5
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-geadffa3
[email protected] #1
Build Number - 4.5.1_57_MX2-34
Now I will tell you I was trying to flash the rom in the stock recovery because I didn't realize until later that it wasn't in clockworkmod recovery. Herein lies the problem, I can't get into CWM recovery no matter what I've tried on the net searching for answers. I have downloaded droid 2 bootstrapper as well. I can't find a working link to droid x bootstrapper. Am I just stuck with my stock X or is there hope?

official cm7 has a kernel check, use a version with kernel check removed
but your log post did not show that
dx bootstrap only worked with 2.2 froyo
there is a modified dx bootstrap you should use

now i seem to be stuck at a red M logo after opening droid 2 bootstrapper, click on bootstrap recovery, click on ok at the success prompt, click on reboot recovery. only way to move past this is to pull the battery then it will reboot no problem into stock 2.3.5. if i hold power and hard home key it will go into stock recovery every time but still no CWM recovery. I have no idea why this is everyone else seems to have no problem getting into CWM.

I don't remember anything special, needed for the MX
which D2 Bootstrap, the one from market?
I would remove bootstrap app from menu>settings>applications>Manage applications>Droid 2 bootstrap tap force stop then uninstall
using a file manager/root browser with root access go to
/preinstall/recovery select recovery.zip rename recovery.zip.bak
then install the Modified Droid 2/X Bootstrapper, or Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap

Dead Droid when flashing ROM

Hello, I have a rooted ZF5 T00J currently on 5.0 (3.24.40.78) and always get the dead droid when I try to flash a ROM. I updated to L from KK because I was also unable to access recovery (it always gave me the dead droid).
Is there any way to make my phone completely stock again, or any workaround from this, for me to flash a custom ROM?
Thanks

Reboot bootloader, go to recovery, if you are in stock rom, rebooting to recovery from bootloader will get you dead droid. Now in the dead droid recovery press volume up button and power button at the same time then you will have access to stock recovery
