I have a droid x that I went into settings on and did the factory reset. When it rebooted, a screen came up that asked for the phone number so it could be activated. Since there is no phone number, because its not active yet and I didn't know how else to get it past this screen, this is how I left it. Until today, when I took it somewhere to have it flashed to cricket. The guy did whatever it was to get outta that screen. Then he showed me that it would go to the lockscreen. When unlocked, the status bar is at the top, but the rest of the screen is black. None of the buttons do anything either. He said that it looked like it had no OS on it. I need a link to dl a stock rom from onto the memory card, using my m860. Then I need to know the button combination that will get me into the bootloader menu on the DX, THEN, seeing as I'm pretty new to the world of Android, I may need the steps that will successfully fix my DX. Thanks for reading. I greatly appreciate any help that you could offer.

I'm having the exact same problem with the DX. Im in for some answers on how to fix this problem.
Google search how to sbf for your system version
I actually figured out a way to fix this on my own. If I held down the home button, I got the option to use voice services, which I used to access "my files" where I installed titanium backup from the sd card. Then used TB to restore all apps and settings. Then viola! Now my problem is I downloaded the gummyjar 2.5 custom rom to my sd card using CW rom manager, but whenever I try to install, instead of rebooting into recovery mode, it just reboots and does nothing special. How can I get this phone to boot into recovery?

Yes, he is obviously rooted lol.
You gotta use koush's droid x bootstrapper app to get into cwm recovery. First hit bootstrap recovery. Then after it says "success" hit reboot recovery.

I already had it on mine. I backed everything up before i did anything. You can get it on your card via another phone or computer, but I don't know if it'll help bc you don't have anything backed up.

NOW, my dx is really acting crazy! I did a factory reset so I could set up my gmail account. Everything was working fine for a while, then the phone just randomly reboots. When it started back up, it had all the settings that were on there before I did the reset on it. Very frustrating. Thinking about just selling it and buying something better, I just don't know which phone I should think about buying!

I use an iphone 4. I was just trying to fix this droid x. Thanks for the help, I need a linux computer though. Er.
I recently found the phone numbers in contacts being displayed like 123-456-789. Previously it was being displayed without "-". I tried to change the locale & regional settings but it didn't work ! Why is it so ? Now After I factory resetted the phone & selected locale & English (US), though this problem got sorted out. I am facing two new problems. My Android market does not update itself !!!!!!!!! & the progress of the ongoing downloads does not show/appears blank. I am very worried. plzz tell me what to do !! i am using stock 2.1 V20c (India) ROM in my rooted gt540. Previously I never had any issues with my phone. Plzz help it's urgent. I have tried to master reset my phn 5 times hoping the problem wud get solved but it didn't.
New problem- new downloads take a lot of time to start after they have been queued for download
well... I`am not sure if this will help....but i had some issues with market not updating itsef and displaying wrong letters in system...so i formated my system, boot, data and cache partition through clockworkmod recovery and then restored from backup, after that everything worked fine...now, I assume you don`t have a backup, or clockworkmod recovery....or do you??
No.. I dnt hav a backup. Recently when I rooted my phone I deleted everything in the system cache folder and also removed some built in apps like SNS,layar,task killer, vid editor and wapedia thinking this wud free up internal memory. I think that is where the prob originated. Now tell me wat to do...

I would reinstall the operating system (and i suggest you to do that)....first install rom manager from market.. if you can..then while still conected to internet install clockworkmod recovery (you`ll see an optyion in rom manager) when you do that..try to boot into recovery by presing power button (first shutdown your phone.....) and home button, when it turns on(holding) if you get something new...a menu, that`s recovery... now go and make a backup of you existing system....that way even if you make some bad choices you can always get your system back.........from this point you can put any ROM you like.... just download wanted ROM put it on the root(outside of any folder) of your sdcard ond go into recovery and choose instal from .zip.........I don`t have the time to search the stock 2.1 ROM v20c for you to install...you could try google
EDIT: here you can find all ROM-s, even a backup of 2.1
@ssik -- thanku so much 4 d detailed info..buddy.. as far as the complete list of original stock ROM's link goes... I already hav the link.. so u didn't hav to search it 4 me...anyways since u hav already done..thanx a lot..i owe u a lot 4 dat. so dont get disgusted..since I am new to this modding thing I feel frightened to hav my phn bricked while flashing...so I was asking 4 any othr alternative.

I think there is but it is untested and only just my theory.
Also, it doesn't matter what fastboot rom you flash, they all work the same, regardless of country etc

Edit:
I tried CM7 again but this time, a little combination of two instructions.
Before, I couldn't fix the market problem, like anything I tried (clear cache, data in the manage applications settings) didn't work. And the uninstall updates wasn't visible. So today I tried again but with some different instructions, and this time it worked! So glad I can use CM7 on my phone, so awesome.
Are you using a stock ROM or a custom ROM?

I've been having this problem lately (on both Bandroid's ROM and rdannar's "diet" stock ROM) with the new marketplace.
Even on updates some apps will go through the whole process, and even act like they're downloading, then will still show up as needing an update.
This didn't help you, but you're not alone?
Rebooting (sometimes) helps.
Do you have the new market yet? I notices when my phone switched to the new one it took a few hours for it to get back to normal. Also, it mat not show its correct status in the market app and if you leave and go back it may say it is finnished.

This is crazy, I don't know why it's doing this, I can't even do gapps because the market won't install the apps.

I have this same problem. I can't successfully install any app via the android Market. I tried clearing Market cache and data with no improvement. If I choose install an app, it looks like it downloads in the status bar, but doesn't actually list it as "Successfully Installed" as it normally would.
If I look in the Market's My Downloads it lists the app but says "Free" next to it instead of "Installed" or "Update". If I then try to install it I get "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force Close.
I also rolled back the updates on my Android Market with no improvement in functionality.
I think the issue started when I went to Android 2.2.
I'm not clear on how to solve this problem.
Same problem! !!!!!!! Any solution??
unmount SD Card
A temporary fix would be unmounting the sd card and then installing the app. It happens on some roms..hope it fixes...works in my case.
Not sure exactly what happened. I was using the tablet and all of a sudden the bottom three buttons disappeared as well as the top bar. The system kept getting force closes. I rebooted and it just sat in the reboot mode. I tried to recover from the system but that is not working. I cant seem to get the system to mount via usb now. I am in clockwork mod v5.8.0.2 and do not see an option. If I could mount it I could put an img file back on and get it to work. Any help would be great.

You could try to flash back the stock software to see if that helps? Look here for some help.
Are you running a custom ROM or anything else? ALSO, once you do manage to get everything fixed, I would upgrade your CWM to the most current version 6.0.1.0 by flashing this in the older (5.8.0.2) version.
Sounds like it might be permission related, you could try a 'fix permissions' in recovery

Did you download the nakasi file from the google site? You shouldn't have an issue with that. And you can update CWM using ADB, just check over in the Android Development section.

Help, I downgraded from 2.3 to 2.2 for various reasons,but now when I try to upgrade again I just get the pink screen ,if I try using the option from settings/storage,it says key data couldn't be backed up , the installation will stop. Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up completely so I can't even continue to use it in 2.2 can anyone advise ?

Try to put the 2.3 dload folder to a sd card, then remove the battery, plug in a USB cable to the computer and the phone, volume up+down+power (if I remember right lol). See if it will update that way.
no, that's the usual way I've been flashing it, I can get to the image folder ,but it won't boot into recovery either

Odd. Maybe try to flash the ICS pink screen unlocker? I had weird issues at some point too, then I flashed that and the problems went away. Afterwards flash ICS.
Just tried that,still no luck,it doesn't even get to the unpacking screen,it just stays pink. beginning to think its beyond repair

Hi there!
I think when you upgrade from software menu there is an option for data back-up.
Uncheck this option and the error should go away.
Also what do you mean with this: "Also if I boot into the system it runs fine for about a minute then locks up" ?
What do you mean it locks up? Touchscreen is not responsive for example?
My suggestions:
1) Do a factory reset and then check if you can upgrade
2) Try re-installing your recovery(use cwm 5.0.27 by geno for best compatibility) or even replace the whole image folder with the froyo one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146856
Your phone is not beyond repair that's for sure. Since it boots fine.

I haven't noticed an option for data backup,will check again later on. And yes when it locks up touch screen becomes unresponsive and none of the buttons respond either. Also when I try to enter recovery ,both custom and stock, it displays the kernel logo then vibrates with a black screen for a second then back to kernel logo and continues to boot.

Ok guys,I copied over the stock image folder and now it works ok, however I still can't upgrade from froyo. At least I can use it again though so thanks for your help, its much appreciated. Incidentally, there wasn't an option to back up data when upgrading, but that error has now gone, except it now just reboots instead, so I will just keep trying.
