I've had a Droid Incredible (AMOLED) for sometime, Unrevoked Forever. Flashed many, many ROMs and kernels, and numerous recovery backups.
Picked up a Droid X yesterday (still have my Dinc). Rooted using Z41, and have permanent root. Paid for and downloaded Bootstrap, and had ROM Manager from my Dinc.
I've spent a good six hours reading the various "how to" threads and Googling, but I'm not finding the solution to my issue.
I can boot into Clockworkmod Recovery from within Bootstrap.
But, I cannot figure how to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery from power off state. When I hold the Home button while powering up, hitting the Search button boots my DX into the stock recovery, NOT Clockworkmod Recovery.
I guess my question is, how / is it possible to make Clockworkmod Recovery the default recovery when booting from power off?
Looking forward to getting to know the DX community on XDA.
To boot into clock work from power off...hold vol down then press power. Hold about 10 seconds. You should be good to go...

That is the method on the Dinc, which I'd tried. But, just now did it and released the power button after the Moto logo appeared and continued to hold the vol down, and there was the familiar Clockworkmod Recovery glowing green.
Old habits.
Thanks!
Cool, glad it worked. Was not sure about the exact timing though!

Well, so I flashed a ROM (ApeX 1.3 which runs well), but once again I can boot into Clockworkmod Recovery via Bootstrap, but cannot (or have not found a way) boot into Clockworkmod Recovery from power down, even using the above method that worked with the rooted stock .340.
Not a biggie unless something bad happens, of course.
Thoughts? The ROM? Me?

From Koush's website:
What if my phone won't boot? How do I get into recovery without the app?
When the hijacker runs, it will automatically create the "/data/.recovery_mode" file after it finishes. This tells the system that the next time it boots, it should boot into recovery. But, when the system starts, the Droid X Recovery Bootstrap will then delete that file when Android is fully started, to prevent you from booting into recovery. So what does this mean? If you fail to boot, simply pull your battery, and your next boot will be into recovery (unless your /system is *really* hosed, in which case you need to SBF).
I'd probably just press bootstrap recovery in the app every time you turn your phone on. So just in case you DO need it next time you boot up, it'll be there. Damn moto and their locked phone..

That doesn't do it either. Must be the custom ROM.
Somewhat OT, but you're right about the "damn Moto and their locked phone." Coming from the Dinc, I'm not accustomed to this sort of hassle. Having said that, altho I've only had the DX for a couple days (and still have my Dinc), I am liking the big screen, albeit not as nice as the AMOLED, and the really solid build of the DX--it's a good phone. Looking forward to the Thunderbolt...

Reboot your phone, when it's on the Motorola logo a blue LED will flash, when it does press the volume down button.
From there you can navigate to ClockworkMod Recovery.

Thank you so much!!!!!
YOU HAVE SAVED ME!!! Now where is that dang thanks button.
Is it possible to set up a MIUI / CM74DX-GB dual-boot with that menu?

Not through that menu, but using Boot Manager you can dual boot roms. Your base rom must be 2nd init, however.

Hello ALL.... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but none of these seem to work for me.....I rooted Droid X using D3 one click method it worked and got Droid X to root....I have not installed bootstrap or any type of booting apps but in the past I have and was still unsuccesful at getting into Clockwork recovery from power-off state......oh and I don't see any blue light...... please help
Having same issue as poster above: Can NOT get into CWM recovery. (Also have Rom Toolbox installed, and I can't get into Recovery via that app, either.)
Running Liquid 3.2, and no matter what I try, I can only get into stock recovery.
EDIT: Was able to get into CWM Recovery from ROM Manager: Select Reboot into CWM Recovery, then hold VOL DOWN button while phone reboots. Voila! (Still doesn't solve original issue, but it's progress.)
i rooted using the terminal method on mac. i cant post a link it wont let me but its on droid life. i cant figure out how to reboot into clockwork mod or stock recovery i want to flash this new liquid rom i downloaded. can someone tell me how to do this or provide a link i can use to help me? thanks.
I also have sbf'd liquid 3.2. I've had a terrible time with the radio. Wifi works, it doesn't. 3G works, it doesn't. Market works, it doesn't. So, I just sbf'd the rom again but the phone is stuck in a boot loop. I need to get into Clockwork to try "wiping", but I can't get in. Seems like it's yet another issue with liquid 3.2. Anybody have any ideas?

After SBFing you won't be able to enter ClockworkMod Recovery. Use stock recovery to format data and cache.

I'm unable to boot into Clockword mod recovery as well when I choose to do so from the ROM manager... It just reboots my phone back that's all...
I'm on stock 605 and just rooted my phone - no boot strap or bootloader apps I've installed other than the CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 I installed through ROM manager v4.8.0.6
I'm able to boot into Stock recovery (Search button and then volume keys) but not into cwm recovery....
Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong ? I even tried volume down key during power up - doesnt seem to help. I dont see any blue LED either during the moto logo...
Thanks...
EDIT/UPDATE: I installed the Droid X bootstrap apk, Install bootstrap, and Reboot into recovery and that seemed to start up CWM recovery fine I guess ROM manager was not installing the right CWM boostrap... From the ROM manager I was selecting the Droid X, (had tried Droid X 2nd init as well as Droid 2 - didnt seem to make any difference that time)....
On blur roms you always have to use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper app before flashing ClockworkMod Recovery in Rom Manager.

USB Debugging
I was having a terrible time getting into any kind of recovery, Bootstrap, Rom Manager, etc., that is until I remembered something I read sometime back. I unchecked USB Debugging and then had virtually no problem with getting into recovery mode.
So, having said all that, check to see if your USB Debugging is checked or not. That might make a difference for you.
Help. I accidently my girlfriend's mom's phone.
Unable to boot into recovery.
The phone has been running the first Pre-Rooted DX GB Leak for a while now, and still works great, but when I went to load the latest leak I had some trouble. Rom Manager wont boot into recovery (it just reboots the phone). When I try to manually get into recovery by holding the home button, I get stuck at the Android "!" screen; pushing the search button at this point does nothing.
Does anyone know where I went wrong? I've tried re-flashing Clockworkmod several times, and also DX Bootstrap. No luck.
What do?
Follow this..... http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/g...ing-gingerbread-help-please-3.html#post289033
you need droid 2 bootstrap, or turn off usb debugging.
To get menu in stock recovery in gb you hold volume up+vokume down... U need d2bootstrap to access cwm on gingerbread

I just tried to root my milestone using superoneclick, everything were a success, install Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.5, install rom manager downloaded clockworkmod recovery.
using rom manager, i went into CWR (blue 5.xxxxx)
wipe factory, wipe everything that i normally do on my HTC vision.
then install zip cm_droid2_full-112, cyanogenmod nightly. when i reboot,
I saw the M logo, then it's black screen all the way. I can't get into any recovery anymore.. anyone can help? tried recovery (power + X, power + @) cannot.
Battery also got problem charging (wall socket, no light)(laptop, there's light but cannot on my phone). now my phone is flat, I can't get to use RSD to sbf. just now RSD still detect the phone, but now "NO" cause i guess it's flat.

You make sure your phone is droid2 NOT milestone2? The ROM for each others are not working for the other.
Edit:sometime RSD not working. You may reboot both your PC and phone to fix that.
I think should try to solve the charging problem first. just try leaving it to charge using the wall socket. flash any rom with battery more than 50%. I think the best is full-charged battery.
flash a stock rom the original bootloader. then repeat the process of root and clockwork. then put a rom for milestone 2, not droid 2.
development in the session do you think the roms and miui CM7, both with ginger 2.3.7
So as my wife tells it she received a text message then the phone shutdown and went to the bootloader screen. She was running Liberty2 v3? up until now.
The phone boots to the bootloader showing:
Boot Loader
D2.37
err:A5,69,55,00,27
Ready to program
USB
The standard bootloader schpeal.
Unfortunately I can't do anything to get beyond this. I have tried SBF to 2.3.20 and 2.3.4 both come back to the same screen. Cannot access recovery by holding X or the down volume button.
On boot the phone shows the Red Moto "M" logo then fails to the boot loader.
HALP!
You don't see the M logo when you go into boot loader. Hold the up arrow on the keyboard as you power on. Boot loader will be the first screen that you come to.
Don't know what to tell ya. I can't get into recovery no matter what keys I press. I get the "M" logo then it fails into the boot loader with the above error.
I can ONLY get to the bootloader no matter what I do. No SBF files seem to work and I cannot get to recovery to try and wipe data/cache to fix the bootloop. Basically I'm stuck at the bootloader and can't do anything to get past it.

I'm pretty much in the same situation.
Wish someone with better knowledge than I can pipe in.
Been stuck like this going on 2 weeks now.
There has to be an .sbf to flash that'll work.

Yeah, today I'm in search of a DInc2 to replace it. Luckily I do have a Droid1 that uses the same battery so I can charge it and keep trying various things to get it working. Just sad that a phone that was perfectly good one second is toast in minutes. She could have at least dropped it and had it die that way...
Bricked D2
bump. D2 Bricked. Saw there was a sbf for D2 global, but those of us with bricked D2 seem to be out of luck for now. Oh well, I guess i don't need a phone for a while. . .
Did you guys take the newest Verizon Over the Air updates?
