My Gmail is taking 10-20 mins to sync. I have tried 3 reboots and nothing.
The sync icon is in the status bar, but not spinning. Any ideas?

Do a factory reset
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
When I get to the ! icon and the Android guy, the search key doesn't pull up the context menu.
Awesome. I did the factory reset through the phone... I still can't get into bootloader mode, and I have noo internet connection. No 3G or 1x.

To get into bootloader mode hold both volume buttons and power...To get into stock recovery hold power +home key and when you see the android guy press the volume keys.

LOL, yeah took me a minute to figure out the new key combos when I did a wipe after flashing to GB a week or two ago.
Using root explorer rename the file BlurContactsSync.apk to BlurContactsSync.apk.bak
This will remove the sync icon. No need to wipe. It's a redundant file that does what Google sync does natively.

I did the hard reset. The phone is crashing nonstop. Freezes for sometimes 4+ minutes and then reboots.
I am using Launcher Pro. I'm going to try to ditch it and see if that helps.
Thanks for the info on the new button config. to get into that mode to instal GB I used the search key.
I installed the rooted version of 2.3.3 on mine, I had a similar problem. All I done was factory reset, wipe cache, and wiped dalvik cache. That fixed it. This was all done by using droid 2 bootstrap program, not stock recovery.

Is it better to use the Droid2 bootstrap program or the Droid X bootstrap program on the DroidX?

Use the Droid 2 bootstrapper because it gives a newer version of clockworkmod recovery
At this point, install instructions almost always dictate which bootstrapper to use X vs. 2, but currently we are using Droid2 on GB because its a newer version. There are people saying once GB is flashed you can use Dx, but.... why not just use D2... heres the thread.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/g...rapper-gingerbread-4-5-588-clarification.html
I believe the persistent sync icon was avoidable by wiping data before flashing GB as stated in the pre-release thread, but if the contacts thing fixes it...

You would need to use Root Explorer to change it. Make sure you mount the folder as R/W.
The easy way is to:
1. Go into "Settings"
2. Go into "Applications"
3. Select "Manage Applications"
4. Select "All"
5. Find the following and clear the data and cache.
"Contacts Sync". "Google Contacts Sync", "Google Calendar Sync",
This did it for me.

Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to fix my X and how to flash
Try booting into moto recovery (hold down the menu button along with the power button, when the picture of the green android guy comes up, push the search button)
Do another wipe data/factory reset and reboot. If that doesnt work then you will need to sbf

Unless this guy ^^^^ works for Verizon or Moto and is holding out on the rest of the Android community... anyone can get access to the files to unbrick your phone. Check out mydroidworld for the 2.3.32 full sbf and the 2.3.34 system only sbf. If you need more help with sbf files, post back, and myself, or one of many other people are likely to help you out.

If I'm reading this correctly ??
After reloading the Market programs, if you want to stick with the full "Maderstcok SBF".
You must do a full reboot BEFORE Rooting, Rom's, breathing, Or anything else.
IMHO kick the Rom manager to the side of the road , Again IMHO.
Then do what you wish.
When I use Maderstcok's SBF I bypass the market downloads so that I can then
get to the new Rom i,m really trying to get to.
Maderstcok SBf, full reboot, Root, Rom

I have a droid x that I went into settings on and did the factory reset. When it rebooted, a screen came up that asked for the phone number so it could be activated. Since there is no phone number, because its not active yet and I didn't know how else to get it past this screen, this is how I left it. Until today, when I took it somewhere to have it flashed to cricket. The guy did whatever it was to get outta that screen. Then he showed me that it would go to the lockscreen. When unlocked, the status bar is at the top, but the rest of the screen is black. None of the buttons do anything either. He said that it looked like it had no OS on it. I need a link to dl a stock rom from onto the memory card, using my m860. Then I need to know the button combination that will get me into the bootloader menu on the DX, THEN, seeing as I'm pretty new to the world of Android, I may need the steps that will successfully fix my DX. Thanks for reading. I greatly appreciate any help that you could offer.

I'm having the exact same problem with the DX. Im in for some answers on how to fix this problem.
Google search how to sbf for your system version
I actually figured out a way to fix this on my own. If I held down the home button, I got the option to use voice services, which I used to access "my files" where I installed titanium backup from the sd card. Then used TB to restore all apps and settings. Then viola! Now my problem is I downloaded the gummyjar 2.5 custom rom to my sd card using CW rom manager, but whenever I try to install, instead of rebooting into recovery mode, it just reboots and does nothing special. How can I get this phone to boot into recovery?

You gotta use koush's droid x bootstrapper app to get into cwm recovery. First hit bootstrap recovery. Then after it says "success" hit reboot recovery.

Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo
Hi folks,
I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..
Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.
This of course does not work and installation aborts.
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Chris

When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.
I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function. Anyone have some ideas.
I can't get this bootstrap program to work on my Droid 2...it will not give me all the options when I reboot into recovery in order to load a custom rom...I am rooted...Pls help..

Not for those of us unlucky ones (maybe I'm the only one) that the custom recovery will NOT work for. No matter what I try, it wont mount data/recovery, so no backup can be made or flashing a custom rom. Plus I have a new problem. Had to rsd the sbf back and now I can't even gain root on the phone.

I've got the froyo on it. When trying to root, I've used the method that worked for me originally, superoneclick. It just keeps not responding on my windows 7 machine but didn't use to. As for the recovery, I did exactly as laidaxins post but it would give me that above error on the phone. I have tried getting help from laidaxin and winsuk to no avail. I even tried getting ahold of romracer to build a proper recovery since I can donate my flipside for the cause, but haven't gotten a response from him at all.
Use z4root go to 4shared.com and search for it there. Then download and install it. Make sure usb debugging is on and unknown sources is checked. Then run z4root and let it sit. Let me know if that works for you.

That didn't work either like it did in the past on my win 7 machine. The program stops responding on killing daemon server.
Superoneclick doesn't always work. That's why I recommend using other options. Also there is a one click root for the Droid x Droid 2 etc on droidforums I have used it on many different Motorola's with a lot of success.
