Ok peeps. Here is the deal. I switched over from an evo to Verizon Droid x waiting on the galaxy s2. So kind of new, kind of not.
Here is my issue. I sbf'ed to froyo so I can gain root. Then back to a 596(?) Gingerbread and it worked great. Now... it took an ota and installed it. Not sure how, but it did. I kept the root (su permissions) but now it will not boot into clockwork recovery. I've used the ROM manager and dx boot logger program (sorry can't remember the exact name) and all it does is reboot, get the Motorola logo then blank screen. It sits for a while then I get impatient and pull the battery.
Any help would please be helpful.

Are you sure you're still rooted?
Have you had an app ask for superuser permissions?
If you have a terminal emulator, open it and type su to see if you get the #.
If you don't, you are no longer rooted.
Yes, I have had apps ask for permission. Like titanium, wireless tether, etc.

I was just on liberty rom and now im back on stock rom and I've noticed that when I turn my phone on I have liberty instead of the Motorola. I still have the red eye and and everything. So how can I fix this. I have root explorer and terminal emulator if I can use one of those that would be great.

Are you sure it is not just the background image that may have been restored by Google's backup service. Check the system info to see what rom you are running.

I read my post and I think its not what im trying to say. I don't have Motorola when I boot up my phone it now says liberty. Then from there it goes into the droid x boot screen with the red eye. So the moto has been replaced with liberty.

I forget exactly where it is...but its probably somewhere like /data/local/logo.something... Like I said, don't remember the exact location, but its just the location that is overwritten when you switched back to stock.
Search the mkt for an app like boot logo changer. You can customize your own as well.
I knew this would happen eventually...
I flashed an update to go from liberty 2.0.1 to liberty gingerbread nightly... all was well until the reboot when it goes straight to bootloader. I can't get into stock recovery... do i have to Sbf?

If you cant acces CWD and are stuck at the boot logo then yes. Did you try to do a battery pull?
U will have to sbf

If you are on GB the stock recovery button pattern is different. I had the same problem on my dx. You should Google it and try that. I don't remember the button pattern. Pm me if you need more help.

Flashing a new is sbf is very easy I just done mine yesterday ( bricked mine trying to change rom too.) Now I'm back up and running without an issue. Pm me for the link to the sbf if you still need it

Ok..sbfd...was really easy compared to using nvflash on tegra2. The longest part of the whole thing was dling the sbf file over a ****ty mi-fi connection.
Z4 root, liberty toolbox nightly, bam - running liberty gb.
Not so bad... hopefully wont bar my gf from allowing me to **** around with her phone in the future.

Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.
It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!

It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far

Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.
Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.
That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted

I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.

Gingerbreak doesn't even list Droid 2 being a supported device.
Hi everyone I have a rooted evo and I've rooted and unrooted a couple times and I am very compfortable with flashing roms because I do it all the time. My boss has a milestone x and she wants me to root it for her. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of roms that are stable and work well on milestone x also hotspot working! Also is there an amonra recovery I can put on. If anyone has the files I will need to root that would be great. On my Evo I just unrevoke then flash amonra and a Rom and its in business. Is there a big change on how to root this? Thanks a lot Droidxers I really appreciate it!

I rooted mine using SuperOneClick root and it worked easily!
As for a working ROM I have read that it is a long process to make Droid X ROM's work with our APN's and it is possible to get stuck with Verizon's network so I haven't even tried it.
What I have done that has made the experience much different is install some apps and script's that 180'ed the stock ROM and make it feel like a completely different device.
Well this is what I did, I searched gingerbreak on 4shared . Com website, downloaded, open it, then press root. The root is successful when it turns off, if it doesn't work redownload another apk..
For the CMW recovory..I searched droid x bootstrapper, again on 4 shared..pressed bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery.
Far as custom roms go its not many that work on Milestone X, Liberty 2.0.1 does with no tweakin..
Miui and Cm7 works with a script kernel tweak seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=vxZ7cBt2K-Q you just have to delete the Verizon kernel script with notepad and save the changes..the exact tutorial is under "show more" under the video..that should work

Hi, I have a xt912 Droid RAZR Maxx using 4.0.4 ICS and I used the root method that was provided here. I then went root app crazy and also installed the superuser.apk file with the Elite. I went and got clockwork mod touch installed after that, and when I did, the phone would say something like "system is upgrading" and after a while the custom front screen wouldn't work anymore and I lost root access. I since then did a FDR and everything except superuser left. I tried recovering the backup using recovery in fast boot, but it isn't showing as a choice from CWM. I used root checker and it says my phone is not rooted yet I can't uninstall the app only disable it. How do I take it off so I may re-root this phone later? I also used a backup from Titanium pro+root and it won't let me recover from that. Any help would be appreciated.

Not RAZR Maxx forum... This is for the RAZR M.
That said, if you did an RSD (assuming that's what you meant by FDR?), you're gonna need to do whatever you did in the first place to get root... No idea how, since I don't own a RAZR Maxx. You'd have better luck asking in the Maxx forum...

I can't find the maxx forum. I thought that this was the closest thing to it.

Of doesn't even matter. Just go to the app and click cleanup for permanent unroot. It will delete it. You aren't rooted but yes the app remains in an unfunctional state. Uninstall it like I said then do a factory reset(probably not needed but do it anyway. Keep it clean!)
And this is correct for ANY phone.
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
There is no option for cleanup. All it has is disable and clear data. It won't let me uninstall it. Its like it became bloatware when I did a FDR
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Cleanup would actually be in app, not in Android's app settings... Chances are tho, if you really have no root, cleanup will fail

I guess I will have to reinstall the elite version again. Will let you know how it goes

Well I can tell you from experience that just cuz you have root apk does mot give you root. The thing is, whatever you did is something I have done before. I don't remember all but I do remember I regained root after doing it and both aps asked for superuser permissions.
Everything did work but I had both. Sorry bud, I can't remember what I did but I can tell you it was an easy fix.
