[Resolved] dx moto logo boot error

hello all
sorry if this is in the wrong section.
today i decided i didnt like my old rom and tried to install fission using the fission rom manager. in the install screen, i forgot to check the wipe box by mistake.
now my phone WILL NOT go any farther than the white moto logo at the very beginning of the boot animation. Is there anyway I can fix this? i am not that experienced at this stuff, so a good explanation is needed. please help!
i just figured out how to get to (stock) recovery from boot, but even after wiping and retryin a few times, it still wont work....
i have also not upgraded or updated really anything since i got my phone months ago, except root, and deodex, and flyx rom

You won't lose root, and when you sign back into google all your apps will come back. Did you make a recent backup? If so you can use it from recovery

You can even wipe and reinstall if you still wanna try fission since you're in recovery.

google has all of my tons of apps? sik. but from recovery there is no option to restore/backup nandroid, like bootstrap
the options are reboot, apply sdcard update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition

Oh you're in stock recovery... Just wipe and reboot.

well thanks for helping, but even after i wiped 3 or 4 times trying, it still desnt work. any ideas?
idk if fission requires 2.3.32 or somethin, but i dont think i hav updated anything since i got my phone a long time ago, just thought id add that

Try pulling the battery, should reboot to clockwork recovery when you put battery back in, then you can restore a backup or flash a rom from sd card.

Most roms require .320/.340. You definitely wanna upgrade if you plan on flashing in the future.

well neither of those solve my problem, i am debating on whether on not to take it to verizon, but idk if they will even help me.

if you can get to clockwork recovery you can download a rom by computer and transfer to your sd card, or put your card in another phone to download it. Then flash that rom. Be sure to mount the system before flashing

Hi matt.. soon after getting my X, I got stuck in your situation while flashing a rom. I took it to verizon and after trying to troubleshoot it for a few minutes, they decided to just overnight me another one. I told them that I woke up and the phone was stuck at the M. I didn't mention anything about being rooted or trying to flash a rom.
The phone was also within the one year warranty though. You might want to try this route if all else fails.
Good luck!!

If everything else fails you can sbf. I'll pm you a link for the 2.2315 full sbf, just download rsd lite 4.8 and google how to do a sbf if your not familiar. Then you can do the official ota and be up to date
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

thnx everyone. ive never sbf'ed before, but ill give it a shot. i wish i could get to clockwork, it would make everything so much easier.

i triedflashing a new sbf, but rsdlite gives me the error- could not find initial values in the ini file or somthin... any ideas? its my fisrt time putting on a new sbf.

What version of rsd are you using? you can just sbf .320 full then .340 system only and it will be updated no need to sbf an old file.

i am using the newest rsd i could find. 4.9 right? and it seems as if i need pst_flash.ini according to the sbf installation instructions i found here
edit: hey thnx everyone for the help. i took it to verizon and the techs said it was a "complete software crash". yay i bricked my phone:/... the good news is that verizon is overnighting me a new one.
when i get it i am going to root it. i also want it to be the latest sbf or whatever its called so i can get either fission or gummyjar on there. now i need 2 more questions answered.
1. which option in about is the one that tells me what sbf im on?
2. i kinda need a really good tut on how to flash a new sbf and get it to .340 because i clearly failed miserably at it last time, so anyone have a link or willing to write it up?

It should have.340 on it or be ready to update. You can check by going to settings, about phone, build number. It should say 2.2.340
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

oh build number. thnx bro, so many confusing numbers, why cant there just be simple names? lol

Full SBF isn't out yet for 2.3.340 you will need the SBF for 2.3.320 and then the patches to get to 2.3.340. Keep it handy just in case!

yah i have the .15 sbf right now for safe keeping but i cant find the .32 or the .34 patch, but it isnt urgent since i heard that the new phone that is coming will be preloaded with the newest everything.
can i just use z4root to root my new phone? or do i have to do the doroot thing in adb like i originally did on my first dx?
I also wanted to know if i could use one of the kernels i saw in the fission rom manager with a rom other than fission, such as gummyjar.

Liberty GB v0.1 help

running liberty gb v .1.after install I lost clockwork recovery and no matter what I do I cannot get it installed. I upgraded to gb for netflix but I can't even get that to work. I cannot sbf because I'm on the nTelos network and there are currently no sbf files out. Can't anyone help?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Liberty GB (all versions) come with Clockwork Mod, you might have either had a bad install or a bad downloaded file. I wasn't aware that the SBF files were network-specific, are you positive you can't use the regular Verizon ones on the web? Also, you've installed the donate Liberty Toolbox, right?
Have you gone into the normal bootloader (hold home button down while turning on) and wiped data + cache at least 3 times after installing Liberty GB to see if you can then get Clockwork Mod working? What happens if you try to reboot bootstrap from within Liberty Toolbox? Another thing to try is, install the Droid 2 Bootloader from the market, it's like $2 to buy. The Droid X one does NOT work with GB for the Droid X, you have to use the Droid 2 one.

The droid x one does work as long as USB debugging is unchecked

I have liberty toolbox donate and droid x bootstrapper , I've tried getting into stock and cw recovery. Both just lead to a blank screen that stays until you battery pull. It doesn't matter if I try to go into recovery through liberty toolbox or holding down any combination of buttons. Always the same result. I do have usb debugging disabled. And as far as all my research has led me to believe, sbf files are carrier specific. So using a vzw file would set my phone up as a verizon droid x rather than ntelos. If there is a way to change that after sbfing please let me know, as I haven't been able to come across any info on that yet.

Since you have the donate toolbox, have you tried upgrading to .5 Liberty (make sure to use the one WITH the .595 kernel)?

Well worth it. Otherwise, it will be on this and other websites by the end of the day. P3droid rocks. I've been messing around with it, and everything seems super smooth.

jideay, I got it from their website. Did you do method 2 (part 1 and 2)? If so I'm confused if I have to hit both downloads at the same time or do part one, then part 2. Do we need bootstrap or bootstrap2. I have both. Want this on my phone but a little confused.

This is what I did.... Download part 1 and part 2 then use droid2 bootstrap then install part 1 AND part 2 before you exit bootstrap and it should work fine

Did you have to do a "wipe" of any kind in recovery before installing? Also did you do a nandroid backup first before even downloading 596?

nope no wipe or nandroid.... all I did was install the who files, very easy install :-D

Okay, so I go into tbh app, find 2 part download, hit download 1 first or do I have tohit both at the same time.; It says "these need to be loaded at same time". Not sure what they mean by that. Then droid2 bootstrap, hit bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery and then install zip from sd. Is that correct. Will tbh app download automatically to zip od sd? Reason i ask is I tried a coustom rom about 2 months ago, thought I did evewrything correctly, but coulsn't find darkslide rom on sd. Wound up having to sbf. Prefer not to go through that again.

2 things.
1. Someone told you what he did and it worked. Do that.
2. Why didn't you download the rom you couldn't find onto your pc and move to SD in recovery to where you could find it?
I'm in the process of downloading these files (1 THEN 2 because you can't download two at the same time) and we'll see how this goes.

Thejron, I was waiting for clarification on the tbh apparently, which you just provided. Thank you. I did load roms from computer, as I did the tbh 596 root. Why I couldn't find it on bootstrap recovery I have no idea. My screw up. It was there in astro. Sorry about offtraking on post.

That is exactly what I was looking for, I also did method 2. Everything seems to be running great.
In case anyone was wondering I'm using an unactivated droid X (rooted, stock .340), with wifi. I used my computer to download the files and copied them to my sdcard. I did a factory wipe, cache wipe and delvik (I think thats how you spell it.)wipe from clockwork using the droid2 bootstrap(not the droidx bootstrap). Installed the two .zip files in order and rebooted it came up fine.

Thanks - had it running now a couple of hours, may be psychosomatic, but it seems faster than .595.

yeah, i like it - transition was easy, i did had to re install a few things but over all very easy coming from .595 using the tbh app. very nice.

Rapidly tap the android version in settings > about phone. That is an Easter egg from google :3

Go into settings, about phone, and multiple tap on android version.

Install worked great on wifi only x. No issues with Netflix or anything else. Does anyone know if I have to sbf my other x that's froyo with clockwork mod backup done?

Droid X shuts off randomly

So my friend has the Droid X and said he would sell it to me for $30. I am interested in buying it but he said it randomly shuts off when you try to play songs or get on the internet like FB and email. Does anyone know of these problems and would rooting/deodexing fix it?

An SBF will clear your users right up.
Their are plenty of guides to SBFing, just search around =D
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I would SBF w/ newest .605 SBF, then use D3 1 click root method to root. you should be golden!

I had the same issues once SBF was compete..... Worked great....
I was also advised the SD card could be bad or have corrupt file on it. So I backed up all my info to my computer reformatted the card on my X transferred my info back, choosing what I restored back to the card such as media I thought might be corrupt. I truly believe the sbf solved the issue. So if sbf don't work for you that could be an option as well.
Just a thought.....

[Q] Bootloop on stock RAZR M - Recover Photos?

My friend (not a techy person) has a completely stock RAZR M which is bootlooping after a failed update. Phone itself has already been replaced but the old one has some important photos on it. I don't have the phone on me right now (will be trying to fix it tomorrow) but all my research tonight is telling me that data is probably unrecoverable. Figured I'd ask directly to be sure.
I will try booting to the stock recovery and clearing cache. My understanding is that ADB won't be able to pull files because my friend wouldn't have enabled USB debugging before this happened. A factory reset would wipe user files so that's no use.
Any tricks I can pull here? Possible to flash a custom recovery while bootlooping? Would that allow ADB access? I'd appreciate any help, so I don't have to deliver bad news

Look into house of moto... I believe (I've never used it) it has an option to flash without wiping internal SD (like I said I believe)... So you'll have to either flash the version s/he was on or a version higher... Then pull the files via USB or SD card...

That looks promising, thanks. I'll read up on it.

House of Moto using Keep Data or Universal should do the trick. Make sure to use the same firmware version the phone is on, such as do not downgrade. You can upgrade it though, so if unsure of version just get the newest version.
