I had an older gingerbread leak, and decided to upgrade to a newer gingerbread leak. Well that is not where the problem came from. I stupidly decided to install the crt animation zip file. Turns out after reading comments it leaves you stuck at the M logo.
Any suggestions on SBFing back to froyo so I can get my gingerbread back on. I have RSDlite, but in the gingerbread bootloader it won't recognize my Droid X.
I was running the .595 Gingerbread leak and I was able to SBF back to Froyo with no issues whatsoever. Are you certain all of the drivers are properly installed on the PC?
Yeah they installed. I have SBF'd using RSDlite before, but what exactly do I need to do to do it from gingerbread. I can get to clockwork, and from there to the gingerbread bootloader, but once there my Droid X is not recognized.
Forget about Clockwork, just turn your phone completely off. Then press the volume down and camera keys while you press the power button. Release all keys after about 2-3 seconds. This should get you right into the bootloader and RSD should see your phone.

Ah yes, its comming back to me now. It has been recognized and is currently SBFing I believe. If I run into any more trouble I'll let you know.
Thanks

No problem glad I could help
Just finished. Phone simply boots to bootloader screen like I went to to initiate the SBF.
OK if SBF has completely finished pull the battery to power off. Then press "Home" and power until you see the Motorola logo. Release power and continue to hold "Home" until an exclamation appears. Then release "Home" and press "Search" From the recovery menu you will need to clear cache a couple of times and then reboot and all should be well. Anytime you SBF from GBread to Froyo you will need to do this or you will get boot loops. Let me know if this works for you.
Thats odd. The logo is still red. I am now downloading froyo from http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...id-x-gingerbread-2-3-3-release-prerooted.html
Thats how I did it when I SBF'd a while back. For some reason I downloaded a different version from another thread. I will SBF that and see what happens.

Yeah try that Official 2.3.340 SBF and then boot into recovery after SBF'ing and clear the cache out. The SBF you previously used may have been corrupt somehow.
Okay it is currently SBFing. Once it finishes I'll boot into recovery wipe data/cached. Then I'll boot up and see how it goes.
I never thought I'd be so happy to see the Froyo "M" xD. Just booted up. Gotta root, then do the gingerbread stuff again. How can I get to .595 again? I do have the TBH app by the way. I just want to make sure I do everything right. Rooting with Z4root right now.
Well its activating right now.
Hmm said it didnt activate. Trying again.
Activated. Now going to root.

Ok once it's rooted hop into the Market and grab Droid 2 Bootstrap (Not X)
Then go to http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/7047-droidx-gingerbread-2-3-3-4-5-588-install-patch-root.html and pick up the 3 files for the .588 leak and flash those in order. Once booted into .588 then go to http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/136891-official-thread-gingerbread-leak-root-get-now.html and grab the .595 version that you want and flash that through the Droid 2 Bootstrap as well. You cannot flash .595 directly from Froyo or it will fail when flashing.
I thought by enabling USB debugging Droid X bootstrapper would work I believe. If I am not mistaken I used the Droid X bootstrapper to get from froyo to gingerbread in the first place, and from there I went to .595 back previously.

I can't be certain. I haven't tried the Droid X bootstrapper but if it gets you into Clockwork then you should be ok.
I thought I had z4root on my sd card still. Gotta go download it agian.
Stupid computer keeps telling me its a virus and deleting it.
My dad amped up all the security things on here lmao. Just got it downloaded. Root time.
This is taking a while, though I do remember it taking a while when I first did it.

Yup I think so. You've been a wonderful help, especially since its late here. I'm pretty tired, so remembering all these things you told me was not about to happen haha.
You are a life saver.
And to think all of this could have been avoided if I read the stinking comments below the crt animation thing. THis is such a waste of time haha, but then again, I gotta do it. We all make stupid mistakes sometimes.
Wow taking forever to root.
Edit: Rebooting my phone since it was taking too long. I heard that was a problem with z4root anyway. Time to try it agian.
Okay root is working. Time to move on to the next steps.

I remember having issues with Z4root as well. The first time I think it force closed on me (or stopped responding and gave me the option to force close) and kept doing that until I rebooted and tried it again.
Wow phone reboots soooo fast. I guess this SBF business wasnt so bad. Really cleans things up I guess.

In order to install the latest update to my phone, I had to SBF using RSDlite 4.9. The first time it would just boot to the boot loader when finished and would not boot. I did it again and let it sit overnight, and it had booted by this morning.
So I did the update.
I then installed the black glass deodex/theme pack and the phone just hung at the motorola icon. I then SBF'd again-- several times-- and it just sticks at the boot load when finished. So at this point the phone is unuseable. The battery is too dead to try again and it won't charge.
Is this because I did the upgrade?
Frustrated. I thought the SBF was the magic cure-all.

Sounds to me like you may have a hardware issue with the phone. If you can restore it one more time, I would look into a warranty exchange.

If you do not go in and delete the cache and data, then it will only boot loop until you do...Hold down the home key and power button for about 10 seconds. Then an android with a triangle around will pop up. Then pres the search button on the phone, now scroll down with vol buttons to delete cache, then do data, then reboot. This is all over the xda, instead of just telling you to search , I wanted to be nice...hope it helps you.
If you had 2.3.340 installed and then SBF'd 2.3.15, you'll be stuck at the bootloader forever.(I did this a few days ago) Just go to Verizon and convince them to replace the phone.
If you can get to the /\/\ motorola logo, go into recovery and wipe data and cache.
I actually got it back online with a 2.3.320 SBF that I found, so I'm up and running. Now I'm not finding the 2.3.34 update so I guess I don't get that .
At least I have a working phone!

I tried that one initially (before the 320) but "start" was greyed out when I selected that .sbf. No idea why.
FYI the file name was SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf

If you weren't already on .320, you cannot flash that SBF since it does not have a compatible bootloader with it. Now that you are on the leak, I would try it again. If you get an error, try adding an "x" to the filename, right before the .sbf extension.
The x at the end of the filename (before the extension) worked. Thanks a ton man! You get a "helpful" vote too!

If anyone has the battery issue, just know that the phone wont charge at the Moto M but if you boot recovery and hit search, leave it plugged on that screen with the "wipe data/factory reset" then it will charge right up
I bought a DX earlier this week. It was updated to system 2.3.340 before i left the store. I also have a D2 and experience flashing ROMs and SBFing. What is puzzling me here is that no matter what ROM I install i get random reboots. This happens no matter what apps, activities, etc... i am doing, even when just idle, i will look down and phone is rebooting. I haven't tried SBFing the DX yet because i can't find a clear answer on how i need to do it. I know that a full .340 SBF does not exist yet. I have a full .32 SBF file and a system only .340 file. I am assuming that i would flash the .32 full, then the .340, or could i just flash the .32 and then let the phone update the factory way to .340? I am getting this reboot problem with Rubix 1.9.5, Fission 2.4.3, and GummyJar 2.5. Any advice, input, or help would be greatly appreciated. THanks in asvance.

try here http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html#comment220 scroll down towards the end (idk if you use windows or linux but the linux method of sbf'ing is alot easier ive used both) except in their directions it says an older sbf file just insert the one you have, then go here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html to download these zip files for kernel updater, 340 system update your baseband and bootloader should already be the correct ones, (i recently bought my X too) then once you finally root your newly sbf'd X and installed droid x bootstrap etc and get into clockwork mod recovery you can flash those 2 zips (recommend flashing only one at a time, reboot, and do the next) and then you should be updated to full .340

Thanks for the quick replies. Gonna try your suggestion tonight or tomorrow. Now i get random lock ups followed by a boot after about five minutes. The only upside right now is that its 4 days old so if i can get some resemblance of factory back on it then i can just exchange it Thanks again will report back with results.
And also by "insert the file you have", i assume you mean the file i have that is VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_01.sbf is the file i need to use in RSD Lite, then update the other files with clockwork recovery?
Thanks again.

correct tho the one i used had was labeled VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf

LOL i am a dumbass, left the FF part out for somereason, thats the exact file name i have. Thanks again.\
Edit- Just tried this, i don't know whats wrong but it has the start button in RSD Lite greyed out when i select the file, its the exact one listed above. Gonna try same file from different locations
Ok, so now i am starting to worry. Tried 3 different .320 full sbf's. All the same result. Failed process close to the begging. Then on the phone it says
Critical Error
FEBE
0047
Please Helppppp. I don't need a really expensive paperweight, all i need to do is get it so that GummyJar doesn't show on boot and i can take it back, its brand new.
Try removing the battery. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power) then do a factory reset/restore.

Well... the SBF and updating where successful. But even after the SBF, SD Card Formating(Long format in windows, then 3 times on phone to be sure), clean install and download of all Fission stuff i normally use, still get random reboots. Gonna SBF again and try Rubix and see how that goes. If it still has problems too, i may SBF again and go to the store and return phone for a new one.

Is there anyway to reboot recovery on the GingerAle ROM? Just installed it on a friends DX and she isnt a fan so I wanted to revert her back to liberty. Any thoughts on how I can do this would help Bootstrapper isnt letting me reboot to recovery and when i try to manually reboot recovery pushing the search button does nothing once im on the android with ! screen. any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Are you trying DX or D2 Bootstrapper? Most Ginger builds require D2.
Using the DX bootstrap. I wanted to ask for any other thoughts before trying the D2 one. Will give it a shot today and report back
So d2 bootstrap allowed me to get back into recovery but after flashing liberty 1.5 it hangs on the liberty bootscreen. Anyone able to give me any help on this problem? Doing this for a friend and realizing why I will NEVER buy a locked down phone.
You can't go from a GB rom to a Froyo rom, you'll need to SBF back to 2.3.340, then go to LB 1.5. However, if you didn't, you can try wiping data/cache again, but I'm fairly certain a SBF is required to go back from GB.
I just did this. Cause I was trying to go back to Liberty to recover some of my data via Titanium. Was coming from gingerale too
SBF Back to absolute stock.
Itll probably bootloop. Pull battery and hold home and turn on. Then do a data reset and cache wipe.
After that reboot into stock droid x rom. Then download bootstrap
Then you can bootstrap back to liberty.
If you have questions hit me up. My phone literally just finished doing this. I thought i was screwed cause it was boot looping. But i'm good now.

The problem is that you flashed a froyo rom after coming from a gb rom and you probably didn't sbf. If you want to go gb to froyo, you MUST sbf back to stock froyo first. If you're not sure how to do this, there are tons of "how to" threads on here.

Thanks a lot guys. I figures an sbf would be required. I flashed gingerale 2.0 and she seems happy with it. Gonna investigate this sbf more. Coming from HTC and Samsung phones Motorola is a whole new world lol.
The SBF process is easy dude. At first glance it seems really complicated but there's really nothing to it. There's even youtube videos if you feel a little uneasy.
Ok so as my previous post stated I just got my droid x and rooted it. I am in the process of installing a rom but have failed at this point.
For starters I have the droid x bootstrap installed and "running". Buy "running" I mean I can get to the clockwork recovery but only buy the bootstrap button or battery pull for 1min then boot. Booting while holding the home button stops at the exclamation android guy. I cant get past it no matter how hard I push the search button . So thats one of my problems but not a big one.
When I went to install liberty 1.5 I did a data factory reset and catch wipe then installed the rom. It got stuck on the liberty logo. So I tried again this time following the guide on these forms on how to install a rom correctly. Same thing. I tried three more times following three different guides and still was stuck at the liberty logo. So I gave up and followed the install guide on these forms again, but just restored from my backup. I am good and running again but I still have the liberty logo, which from what I read is normal.
When I got home from work I started digging into why it didn't work and found several things that may cause it. Now this is where I get lost. I have read the sometimes it just fails and you need to try again. But I also read the doing a SBF will also fix this. So I dug into what a SBF is and how to do it since this seams to be the #1 fix for everything. WHAT, UHH, MMMMM, K. So I read you will need to flash 2 files to SBF successfully. I have no problems with the RSD lite as it is only one file and you cant screw that up. But then I comes to choosing the right SBF file for your phone I get lost. All the versions listed are WAY below what I have. I am currently on 4.5.588. So I jumped over to androidforms to see if theirs anything their. They list x.x.596 as the most recent OTA but when I go to check for updates it says there are none.
SO, my questions are:
Is the reason I cant flash the liberty rom because I am running 4.5.588?
What do I flash if I need to SBF?
What am I missing about this OTA update? Is it being rolled out now or is my rom the most recent OTA?
Is their anything else I need to know that might help me in the future? Like I said I am new to this area of the forms and have not clew whats being released, changed, rooted, or what ever else.
I came from a rooted eris so Im not root dumb. But their is a big difference between the eris and the X.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME THANKS!!!!!!!!

The new 2.3.3 OTA is stable and very nice looking on my DX, OTA not rootable yet but give it time.
Biggest life saver about the DX is the the part of the phone that ppl mess up and turn their phones to bricks is extremely safe on the X, not bulletproof but all the info in these forums I believe can bring them back regardless of what happens. I was very overwhelmed at first with my X but very comfortable now that ive successfully managed the sbf.
Yeah that's one of the things I really noticed. If you brick your phone it seams its not the end. So im still a little confused with your explanation on SBFing. You say that 2.3.3 is the latest OTA but its not rootable. So am I looking at the wrong number when I say my version is 4.5.588.

Was able to flash the liberty gingerbread rom tonight! I am kind of wondering if the version of ota/bootloader I have is the reason liberty 1.5 wouldn't work for me.

Reading the noobs guide to droid x allowed me to figure out that I have the 30.04 bootloader and I will need to flash the 2.3.34 file. But I would still like to know why my version is so much higher then 2.3.34.

your looking at the version of the software build, complete jargon here but say your on android 2.2.1 version blah blah blah, what i was referring to was although you may have a higher version of 2.2.1 than what you are reading, a lower version of a higher android software such as 2.3.3 is better than a higher version of 2.2.1 same page?
I've been running Liberty on my Droid X for some time now and love it compared to the stock Blur interface. But it's gotten to the point where I'd like to update from Froyo to one of the more modern versions and see if that can liven up the phone again. So my question is this - from what I've read before I can update Liberty (or any other ROM for that matter) from a Froyo based version I need to restore the phone to a semi-stock state, update via an official OTA release, re-root and go from there. Is that true? If so, any convenient guide on how to do so? I did a bit of searching and couldn't find much and while I'm pretty technically inclined my skills do not extend into the phone region and back when I originally modified the phone there were many handy guides and videos to walk me through it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your bootloader version is 30.04, SBF to 4.5.602. From there you can flash any Gingerbread or ICS rom of your choice.
If your bootloader version is 30.03, SBF to 2.3.15 and take the OTA update.

Let the stupid questions begin...
Ok, I confirmed that I'm running 30.04 and I found a site that maintains the correct 4.5.602 file so I downloaded that. Is there anything that I need to back up before installing? Also, I read that a special program is required to install the SBF files so any assistance there would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!
Ok, so I managed to track down RSD-Lite and got it to recognize the device and start loading the sbf file however the phone couldn't get past the "manually power up the phone" phase (or something like that). It just kept showing the boot animation over and over again regardless of what I did - it would cycle between the red eye and the DROID text. I tried pushing and holding the power button, no good and none of the other buttons did anything either. Nothing worked. So I'm rerunning it again and we'll see if the second time is a charm...
Well crap, I got through the SBF install process and got the pass message from RSD but now my phone is stuck at the animation and won't go any further. I've left it running for the better part of 10 minutes and it just hangs. I'm now performing a manual factory data wipe to see if that will help.
EDIT: It appears that the factory data wipe got me through the locked animation. Still having minor issues getting through the programing and setup phase but I think it'll work eventually.
Thanks again for the help.

Minor question/problem for you, sir.
Wouldn't the OTA take you all the way to .621?
Wonderful...yet another thing we need to worry about that damn update <_<
OP:
Glad you got it worked out.
Well, it's sort of worked out.
Everything is up and running but ROM Toolbox isn't able to load any ROMs. It gets granted Superuser permission so I'm pretty sure that I've got the X rooted correctly but when it tries to boot into Clockwork it appears to get an error (icon with an exclamation point) and reboots into the regular Blur interface. I'm going to have a go at loading something like Liberty Gingerbread or 3.0 via zip file but it makes me nervous that the Toolbox Pro App can't get this done.
After determining that the Toolbox App was not booting into Clockwork I downloaded and installed the Droid X Bootstrapper App and got that running. It was able to correctly boot into recovery from which allowed me to install the Liberty 3 ROM. I'm now going back through the process of setting the phone up with the new ROM so we'll see how that goes. It appears to be working, but only time will tell if it's stable. One thing is for sure, a few hours on Blur'd Gingerbread and I was ready for something else again.

I was actually wondering whether it would or not, but I can't think of another way to update the bootloader.

Ok, so here's an issue that I'd appreciate some guidance on. After installing Liberty 3.0 it appears as if the phone can't fully charge. It was plugged in for 10hrs last night and yet this morning the battery only reads 61%. I don't know if it would be best to boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats not knowing if it's fully charged or not.
Thoughts?
