Using droid x. Rooted. Originally installed rom manager but would never flash cwm correctly. It wouldn't ever go into cwm. I then installed droid 2 bootstrap. It got me into recovery but when pressing the power button nothing executes. What am I doing wrong?
Try pushing the Camera button instead of the power button to make a selection.
On the droid x the power button goes back. Camera selects things
That worked. You guys are great. Thanks.

so i have a droid x i just used z4root to root and installed rom manager to put to flash clockwork recovery, but when i boot into recovery it wont work it just goes to the locked bootloader and also when i try to use adb i see the $ symbol not #, so i just wanted to know what i can do in order to put the liberty rom on my phone, thanks!
Hi and welcome. I believe you needed the Droid X bootstrapper (from market or free from Kousch's website
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html
pay for it if you can cos you will use it a LOT).
Also make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. Installing a rom isn't hard but it's easy to screw up.
awesome so i installed boostrapper and got to the clockwork recovery screen but when i try to press the home or power buttons to select wipe or install from sd card it just goes to a black screen and stays there, any ideas? thanks!
go on youtube and search xdroidrom that's the channel with the info you're looking for

most folks use the volume button for selection and the camera button to activate the selection and the power button to back track
Whenever I try and boot into clockwork recovery via bootstrapping, once past the "M" screen, the screen goes black. I've re-flashed recoveries via rom manager (yes i am a premium user) I have SBF'ed like 10 times today, in hopes and trying to get a perfect install yet something always goes wrong
Right after the SBF, when phone reboots, reboot back into recovery (home and power) and clear cache/data. See if that helps at all
I've never had much luck with ROM Manager.
Try downloading 'Droid 2 Bootstrapper' from the market.
After installing it press the 'Bootstrap Recovery' button. Press 'ok'.
Now press the 'Reboot Recovery' button and let the phone reboot.
(Be sure to get DROID2 bootstrap not DROIDX bootstrap.)

ROM manager is not able to do much for the droid x. Use other apps
I am having the same problem. A customer's daughter was using my phone and somehow opened the Rom recovery. When the phone rebooted it now loads to the boot screen says droid and restarts. I can't seem to get it into bootloader to recover the phone. Any ideas?

Try pulling the battery.
Place it back in the phone and hold the power button and home button simultaneously.
When the image of the DROID with an exclamation mark comes up press the search button. When the recovery menu comes up choose to wipe data. Navigate with the volume rockers and select with the power button.
(If you have Gingerbread installed you will press the volume rockers instead of the search button to enter Recovery Mode.)
This should fix your problem.

I've tried that but when it restarts it just goes through the same process over and over. The only way to stop it is to pull the battery.

So after you wipe data you still bootloop?

Hey guys, a little help please.
I need to access clockwork mod from powered off phone, bur I cannot remember the key combo to it.
I know power+X gives me the temporary CWM.
Anyone knows it?
Best regards
If you installed CM7/MIUI or Defy's Bootmenu, then press Volume Down when a blue LED lights up.
If you have Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery, put the turned off phone to charge, it will boot automagicaly.
Power + X boot to Motorola's Stock Android Recovery!
Power + Volume Up (or Down/Both?) + Camera = Bootloader Mode, necessary for flashing a SBF on RSD Lite.

I used sbf_flash in linux to flash the 602 sbf image from verizon (My carrier). This worked as expected, and I was able to root the phone from there. I installed Rom manager and Droid 2 bootstrap, and took a backup image.
I should point out that Rom manager would not take an image on its own, it only rebooted the phone, I had to use the menu in droid 2 bootstrap to create the backup.
I installed the miui rom, and after a while decided to switch back, but Rom Manager and Droid 2 bootstrap wouldn't work. (I've heard you're not supposed to use bootstrap from miui. It rebooted my phone and seemed to have erased my phone's data).
I tried to sbf flash my phone again to get back to stock gingerbread, but now it boots in a loop at the red ball logo. If I hold home and the volume buttons when pressing power to get to recovery mode, the triangle appears but no menu loads.
Am I stuck? Please tell me that something can be done with ADB or some other recovery tool.
EDIT:
Nevermind I was following the Froyo instructions to get into recovery mode I needed to to follow the gingerbread instructions:
Froyo Instructions:
take out battery and reinsert
hold the home key and the power button when turning on
press search to get into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
reboot
NOTE: the volume up/down are move up down; camera is select; and power is go back.
Gingerbread Instructions:
Pull the battery and reinstall
Hold home and power as you turn it on
Press both volume keys simultaneously at the droid/triangle screen
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Reboot
NOTE: the volume up/down are move up down; power is select; back key moves back
Yeah I was gonna say to wipe everything in recovery if you could then try download mode but you got it ha.
I know what to do! Disable USB debugging and it will work. rememeber to enable it back once finished.
Edit:
Oh. I thought you have problems getting to cwm.

Hi!
I rooted my Droid 2 with SuperOneClick and everything seemed fine. Then I installed the Bootstrap Recovery and reboot to the recovery and made a backup. After that I intalled the CWM9 room and rebooted, but I after the Motorola logo it won't go further. I've waited a long time and nothing. I've tried to go to the recovery but it doesn't work holding the X and power button, the /!\ doesn't appear. I can only go to the bootloader holding the UP arrow. How can I solved this, I've been looking on google and I didn't find anything.
Try holding both the volume up and down buttons while powering on

First boot can take around ten minutes. Did you wipe data and cache before flashing? Found it's also best to format and remount system as well when going to ICS roms from GB.
