running liberty gb v .1.after install I lost clockwork recovery and no matter what I do I cannot get it installed. I upgraded to gb for netflix but I can't even get that to work. I cannot sbf because I'm on the nTelos network and there are currently no sbf files out. Can't anyone help?

Liberty GB (all versions) come with Clockwork Mod, you might have either had a bad install or a bad downloaded file. I wasn't aware that the SBF files were network-specific, are you positive you can't use the regular Verizon ones on the web? Also, you've installed the donate Liberty Toolbox, right?
Have you gone into the normal bootloader (hold home button down while turning on) and wiped data + cache at least 3 times after installing Liberty GB to see if you can then get Clockwork Mod working? What happens if you try to reboot bootstrap from within Liberty Toolbox? Another thing to try is, install the Droid 2 Bootloader from the market, it's like $2 to buy. The Droid X one does NOT work with GB for the Droid X, you have to use the Droid 2 one.
The droid x one does work as long as USB debugging is unchecked
I have liberty toolbox donate and droid x bootstrapper , I've tried getting into stock and cw recovery. Both just lead to a blank screen that stays until you battery pull. It doesn't matter if I try to go into recovery through liberty toolbox or holding down any combination of buttons. Always the same result. I do have usb debugging disabled. And as far as all my research has led me to believe, sbf files are carrier specific. So using a vzw file would set my phone up as a verizon droid x rather than ntelos. If there is a way to change that after sbfing please let me know, as I haven't been able to come across any info on that yet.

Since you have the donate toolbox, have you tried upgrading to .5 Liberty (make sure to use the one WITH the .595 kernel)?

Hi,
I am new at this but from reading how to install custom roms, it seems easy enough. I downloaded fission rom manager and bootstrap from the market for $2 and went along with installing fisson through the rom manager. When it reboots, it goes from the Motorola M to the Circling droid red eye. It doesn't install fission at all. I also tried to do it manually with no success as well.
am i doing something wrong? do i need to do a full factory reset before doing this?
thanks

Download Clockwork Recovery and Install it. Then click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and make sure you select Motorola Droid X. After that try using Fission again.
didnt work. im trying to install fission black edition 2.5.7 droid x if that helps.

Use Droid 2 Bootstrapper and not the Droid X version.

This helped!!!!! Finally after 30 minutes of searching the forum. Thanks!
My USB port died on my phone (no communication, not even able to charge battery).
I need to be able to restore to the stock firmware but have been unable to find an update.zip file for the Droid 2 that would allow me to do that from the SD card.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this?
TIA
Search "Droid 2 maderstock", that might do it.
Are you wanting froyo or ginger?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App
I need froyo. I don't believe there is an official Droid 2 stock firmware for Gingerbread. I currently have the rooted Gingerbread on my phone -- I am guessing the techs at the VZW store will notice this when I take the phone in for replacement.

All I have found so far with maderstock (maderstcok?) is Droid X related posts. AFAIK, I can't use Droid X firmware on m Droid 2.
In addition, that appears to be an SBF fileset which does me no good.
Tbh released a zip of the froyo sbf, its in their app. I haven't used it but just seen some info on it.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA Premium App
Tbh released their zip online too. I believe its called droid2 triple threat or something like that. Try a Google search. If you can find it, flash it with clockwork and then use z4root to unroot

I'm having this issue too, I'm wondering if there was a solution. The Droid 2 I have, the computer is not detecting the phone at all.. not even to charge. tried 3 cables. My wall charger is the only thing that gives it a charge. I want to get it back to stock settings if i could. How could i do that without a USB cable/connection? I have CWM installed, dont think that will help. Is there a stock .zip i could flash from my SD card? I have a card reader.
I don't know if this will work or not but you could try downloading the sbf and zip it into a file called update.zip.
Worst case scenario is it gives you an error while trying to flash it and you're back to where you started. IMO it's worth a try.
It's possible that could make you bootloop as well....SBFing is the only option I know of.
Hello, This is my first time trying to Root my phone. I got my phone Rooted then tried to get Liberty 2.0 from the Liberty Toolbox app. (I paid the 5$ for it) I followed the steps EXCEPT for I didn't click the Reset Data and Cache. Now my phone is stuck in the bootloop with the Liberty name and eagle spinning. How do I get my phone out of the bootloop? Ive seen several places to try and take out the battery and hold the power button and HOME button, but nothing ever works. Are there any other methods? I used Liberty Toolbox to make a FULL Backup and It did another backup before installing the Liberty 2.0 ROM......But I need help getting out of the bootloop!
Boot into stock recovery then wipe data and cache ( hold down power and x)

Droid x2 has same prob
Did the same thing with my droid x2 how do i get out of boot screen
So i ended getting stuck in a reboot loop while trying to use droid x recovery bootstrap. Ultimately, i used rsd lite and sbf 2.3.320. So the question is what next? i tried to get the ota gingerbread update from verizon by updating through my phone, but it says that it is up to date. Do i need to re root my phone and flash a current version of gingerbread.
I did make a full titanium backup before is crashed my phone. I am still a little root shy after my first experience.
Try rebooting a few times and checking again. You could always just do a Gingerbread SBF if need be, though.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App
Thanks. i will try that. If i end up using a gingerbread sbf, do i need to be rooted? Otherwise, just follow the same sbf directions i used before?
SBFing does not require root, if that is what you're asking.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App
I ended up sbf back to 602 and got an OTA update to 605. Then rooted with 1 click root. Reloaded app from titanium back up.
Feeling a little more comfortable with the whole rooting thing. I think i ended up in a boot loop because i used droid x bootstrap which is not compatible with gingerbread.
So now i want to make sure i understand what i am doing. droid 2 bootstrap will prevent my stock rom from loading and instead will allow me to replace the rom manually. Once i reboot, it will boot into the new rom. i downloaded rom manager which will essentially automate to process of using a new rom.
One question though. Can i use rom manager to back up the stock 605 rom and go back to that if i want?
Hope this noob is starting to learn
You definitely should be able to.

From personal experience I have had problems with ROM manager on gingerbread...i would download Droid 2 bootstrap from the market and press (bootstrap recovery) then (OK) followed by (reboot recovery)
That should get you right into Clockwork mod Recovery without problems....then use the volume down button and go to (backup and restore) then just press your camera button to select backup...
Once finished just hit the back button and reboot and you should have a perfectly good Nandroid backup of your current system

Thanks for your help. I got the the phone running on liquid rom. Pretty cool. I guess the 2nd init roms only work on older, rooted versions for the dx? I will do a manual rom flash also, just to understand what i am doing with the rom manager.

2nd init can work on either Froyo kernel based (older) or Gingerbread kernel (newer) roms.
Check the rom's thread to find out what kernel it uses and for installation instructions.

Okay, so after it uploaded CG66 it said waiting for device and my phone is in bootloader. I dont know what to do now, can you please help me my phone wont even boot up.
on some phones the reboot command does not work
disconnect usb cable, pull battery, wait 10 secs, replace battery, reboot phone, wait for it to completely reboot, reconnect usb cable, wait for program to continue, if it does not continue, restart program
if phone will not boot normally, verify you are using correct file and options
(not d2 4.5.621), may have to use sbf option
if it boots ok, first time, without usb connected, but reboots to bootloader 2nd time, repeat first steps

My phone is lagging again just from normal use after about 5 minutes. Any suggestions? When i start using my phone it starts to lag, but then it will stop and start again. My phone overall seems slower than before rooting. Thanks

Used magic md5 root. Booted image from USB Flash Drive stick. Worked 1st time. Very appreciative for the hard work put into this.
I just purchased a new Droid X several days ago and did not think it would be this difficult to find a way to root the phone. I really like this phone and even more now that it's rooted. Bye-bye bloatware!
