Hi all, yes, I'm a noob..
Trying to help a friend that screwed up his phone.. DX, had Froyo 2.2.1. and 2.3.340, was rooted with z4root, Koush Bootstrap, and Liberty 1.5. Did a wiped cache, factory reset, removed Bootstrap, and unrooted. Now the phone just boot loops with the Liberty logo (apparently forgot to change it back first) and Droid eye. I can go into the stock system recovery, wipe cache and wipe data/factory set, which I have done several times however it still boot loops and my pc still does not see the device, nor does RSDlite v4.8 with motohelper 2.0.49 driver 5.0.0, followed the sbf guide by maderschramm but still no luck seeing my handset. When I put an update.zip file on the sdcard and try to apply it I get E:signature verification failed Installation aborted. My eyes are strained from reading so many forums and trying to figure this out on my own to no avail, would appreciate any feedback.
Use the linux sbf tool here, its always worked for me

hey everyone, my sister wanted me to root/install a new rom on her droid 2 which i did however i made the mistake by loading clockwork mod, and tried installing the rom and theme through CWM and now the phone just stays stuck at the Motorola droid 2 screen, i tried booting back to recovery and wiped everything but nothing works (it keeps booting into CWM when i enter recovery mode also) please help!
Try SBFing the latest fireware 2.3.20
Its really easy
If it still doesn't work instead of doing in on the windows tutorial
do SBF for linux
I think my phone bricked too. It wont get off the m screen
Use koush's bootstrap to install things on the D2 us and your sister will thank you.

so i figured everything out and as i was about to flash sbf 2.3.20 i got the dreaded batt low cannot proceed and i don't have a spare battery or battery charger FML...
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
So i just wiped my phone again. Used bootstrapper to wipe(factory reset) & deleted all the cache as well..
But i previously had liberty 1.5 ROM installed. & Whenever i turn on my phone it still says liberty after i wiped it. & i tried flashing it back to stock & it says fail.
Any way to fix this?
If you can get back into clockwork...
Use maderstock

Or SBF.

Use this...or search Sbf tutorials for the droid x there are like 203948023498 tutorials.
I guess I should start my saying, I'm a noob. So I upgraded my Droid X from 2.2 to the rooted .596. It worked fine, but I found it to be a little sluggish so I decided to go back to 2.2. So I did something I knew was probably a terrible idea, but I have a tendancy to be a little hardheaded. I booted into recovery and restored a backup I had of 2.2 and rebooted. Needless to say, it stuck at the M logo. I've tried rebooting but it just sticks at the red M every time. After it sticks, I can take out the battery and turn it back on and it loads the recovery. I hope it's fixable cuz if not, my wife is guna kill me. Lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Hahaha. Its ok. But you will learn from your mistake. You are going to have to do a sbf on your phone. It is not that difficult but it is a pain in the butt. Google search "how to sbf the DROID x to froyo".
There will be a few things you need yo download.
1) newest Motorola drivers
2) a program called RSD lite.
3) the .sbf file itself.
The full. Sbf flash guide is at droid x forums.com. the guide was created by maderschramm.

Hell Yeah!!!
Flashed the sbf a couple times to no avail. Did a little searching, only to find I was using an outdated sbf. Booted into recovery, wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache, pulled battery and put it back in, booted into bootloader, flashed new sbf, switched to system recovery and wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache, then rebooted and... Tada!! I am now the happiest mother****er on the planet! God I love technology (and the people that know how to use it). I owe you a beer, boss! *pushes Thanks button*
I am in need of some help with my Droid 2 that I rooted and flashed. Everything was going smoothly up until I flashed the rom and now i am stuck at the Motorola M and in a boot loop. I have pulled the battery and tried to re-install and still nothing. I re-installed to sbf and tried the whole process over multiple times and still nothing. I have watched many how to videos even though this is my 4th time rooting a phone i know they are all different, and i seem to be doing all the right steps and no matter what i do im stuck at the Motorla Logo. Please help!
What are you flashing it from? Froyo? GB?
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
I've tried both medthods...Froyo originally. So I tried OTA to GB and then flash it...that didnt work either. What is the last sbf for the droid 2 anyway?
You should be on OTA GB when flashing it.
Check your MD5, lots of people seem to be having problems getting it to match.
Look at my thread on the Droid 2 Global section.. do steps 9-11 only.

If you're flashing Liberty you can try using Rom Manager. Otherwise after you install GB and root, install Bootstrapper, run it's installation tab then recovery. Once in recovery wipe cache, wipe data, then select zip from sd and install.
Make sure you have the proper version of Liberty for your phone.
Hi, I am also having the same issue
I had Liberty 2.0 v2.0.1 and wiped data and installed from SD, stuck at splash screen
I pulled the battery and tried 2 more times, still same issue
Then I wiped the cached, wiped data and installed from SD and I'm still stuck at the splash screen, any help is greatly appreciated!
1) Try wiping davlik cache as well
2) Make sure you have the version of Liberty designed for your handset. It shouldn't flash anyway if it's the wrong one, but anything is possible.
Are you guys using Rom Manager or Bootstrapper by the way? Just wondering.
Also, if you're coming from a Rom already on there and you mess up you can use Clockwork to restore your last saved system image.
