So I got a replacement phone that came with GB and I'm trying to flash a froyo SBF so that I can do a nandroid restore. After flashing, I'm stuck at the red M screen. Before I've had to wipe data and clear cache and that seemed to fix things and the phone would boot. To get into recovery before, you would boot up holding down pwr+menu to get the yellow triangle w/ the ? screen, then press search. Pressing search doesn't do anything now. Any ideas?

Press the volume buttons and it will get you into recovery...if your backup is from froyo you will have to do a full sbf back down to froyo

He's right about the SBF. However if you see the android, you are already in recovery. Pressing both volume buttons only shows the menu.

I tried to sbf, it got done and rsd said phone has to be powered up manually. So i tried to turn it on and all it does is boot loop. My computer wont pick it up. Since its not rooted can i boot into recovery? What do i do?
Got it into bootloader and sbf'd again. Still boot loopin. What do I do? Someone please help me!!!
Wipe data and cache from the stock recovery.
1. Pull your battery.
2. Turn on your phone while holding the 'up' arrow on the keyboard
3. Hold until you are in stock recovery.
4. Press the magnifying glass on the keyboard to see the menu
5. Select data wipe and then cache wipe (using the volume buttons. or arrow keys and the camera or 'ok' button to select)
6. Then reboot system and you should be good to go.
Also how did you sbf?

You have to borrow somebody's charged battery. Or find a way to get yours charged because the phone won't charge without some software running.
Once you get a working battery try the steps I gave you to get into stock recovery if you would like/need more help with any of the steps just let me know.
(the D1's battery will work if you have a friend with a D1. I don't know about the DX though.)

Did you try to SBF while running a ROM? I think its best be rooted stock at least to SBF. I had problems SBFing if I wasn't stock.
ok, i got a battery. but when i try to use the up arrow and power button to get into recovery it just goes into bootloader. i sbf'd from fission 2.2.1. so yea, i was runnin a rom. ive never had so much trouble messin with a phone before. i know its not bricked but i am getting frustrated...
BOOM!!! Got it baby!! OK, so its x and power to boot into stock recovery. Worked like a charm! And on the bright side, i scored a D1 for 100. I needed a battery, buddy had a nearly perfect droid...hooked it up

Hello, I recently just flashed gingerbread on my droid 2, it was the droid 2 verison i know that much. But after flashing it I did a advanced restore of my data to restore my apps. But now I guess im in a boot loop becuase it doesnt go past that and, when I try to do a hard reset my phone stays at the yellow exclamtion mark and I don't get the menu to wipe/restore, And I do press the volume up and the camera key and that doesnt work to acess the menu either
Please help. And i'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section

To get to the stock recovery to wipe data and cache, hold the power button and x on your keyboard. When the triangle comes up, press the magnifine glass to get to the recovery menu.
If that doesn't work, you might have to sbf

tried what you said, Still not letting me access the menu, I guess i'll have to sbf when I get home

P3Droid said earlier that the first gingerbread release had a dev recovery, which wouldn't work on our phones, hence why you couldn't get in it. He has recently released another gingerbread with the regular recovery.
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?

Just bought a droid x off someone. Called verizon and the IMEI/ESN/WHATEVER is clean. So after she finished showing me that everything on the phone works and I bought it. So my wife played with it a bit on the way home and somehow locked it up. Now it wants the original owner to log in with her google account before letting me use the phone. After a week of trying to get ahold of this girl with no response, I have a problem. What can I do to reset the phone? Home + power brings me to the triangle/droid/! screen. I assume that means recovery isn't installed. Can someone explain if I need to use SBF/How to use SBF/What to flash?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Is there a DX IRC you guys use?
You do need to SBF. Google for instructions; there's tons of videos and guides to help you.

Okay, so I have the 30.04 Bootloader. I tried flashing the 2.3.340 FULL SBF, and RSD Lite showed the flash passed. It didn't and nothing has changed. Comments, Spock?
Also tried the 2.3.34 SYSTEM ONLY SBF. Didn't do anything. It shows the flash as completing correctly, but I boot it up and nothing has changed.

Ehh, try SBFing again, and wipe data from recovery.
To enter recovery press home and power (to get the the screen with the Android and the exclamation mark), then press both volume buttons.

So Home+Power, release both when I see the Android/Exclamation mark, then hold both volume buttons?
Because for some reason I can't get past the Android/Exclamation mark. I don't think it has recovery installed.
EDIT: The search button did it for me.

When I try to turn it on, nothing happens.
I have tried reflashing the sbf and every thing.
I have also tried turning it on while holding 'X' still nothing happens.
Nothing Works.
Any help is appreciated.
You may trial hold @ when turning on, and after shows the "!" you hold the volume butons with câmera, then you clean dalvik cache.
It's works with me.

You have to hold X when turning on your phone until exclamation mark is showing on your screen, then press volume up + volume down and clean data and cache partition. After it turn your phone normally.
Sorry for my english.
