I have had a rooted DX and it was running Gummy Jar and I wanted to try something new so I went to APEX 2.0 RC2. when doing this I got stuck at the Google screen, I could only get into stock recovery so I had to SBF and got into 2.2.1 then rooted again and got a bootstrap and could get into Clock Work Recovery via clicking the button in the app. I installed the Apex 2.0 RC 1 because of my issue. I got the same result I was stuck on the Google screen an couldn't get into Clock Work Recovery, I tried 4 or 5 different ways. So i went ahead and SBF again, no i am on 2.2.1 rooted again but am afraid to try and flash over a new Rom because SBFing is such a pain. Thanks

I rooted my D2G and installed clockwork recovery on it thru rom manger and was trying to install a theme from available droid 2 themes. It goes past the motorola logo and when It gets to the eye it keeps boot looping the eye. Does anybody know how I can fix this, i know it was quite stupid what i did since there isn't any roms or themes available for D2G yet? I also forgot to make an a backup. The theme i was trying was NexTheme Final Fission 2.12.
try to sbf if you are unable to do that than you might have to take it in. this has happened to me and i had to take it to verizon to get it replaced.

That theme is made for a Droid2 with Fission 2.2.1. ROM and wont work on any other ROM or phone.
Idk if the clockwork in rom manager will work correctly. I've only ever used koush's bootstrap bc the kernel is locked and regular clockwork doesn't work on the locked kernel. I have a D2 but the principle should be the same bc yours is an updated version of mine with a locked kernel as well.

Yea i just called verizon and played dumb. Since i got the phone on yesterday and i didn't even activated it. I told them i got my phone and i can't get it to boot to activate it. jeessuussjason: when u took your in did they say anything about being rooted anything? Like how can they check? i installed clockwork recovery on my but seems like the clockwork recovery got erased now too, it doesn't boot into to it, just regular stock recovery.
Learned lesson back up!back up! everything!
nope i played dumb too and said i tried to update it and got a boot loop you're within the 30 days so they should replace it no questions asked they will try to plug it into their computers but it obviously won't do anything
So I decided to give Tranquility a test and see how it compares to my currently running ApeX. I followed the usual procedures, data wipe/factory reset.....twice.
then installed TranQ and the TranQ App update.
The phone then boots up and freezes on the animation screen. So i reset it, then it won't boot at all past the Logo screen. Randomly it decides to boot up fine, but then 30 seconds of android and it reboots and freezes up.
So for some reason it won't let me boot into clockwork recovery, so i decide to just do the system only SBF it and be done.
So I've SBF'd it twice now, the first time it did a random restart and froze, and also kept the tranq boot animation. I did the 2nd sbf and it's got rid of the animation screen and back to droid, however the tranq boot logo is there.
I haven't proceeded to reactivate the phone yet, and just leaving it alone it hasn't restarted itself. I'm planning on rerooting and reinstalling clockwork recovery and see if i can get one of my old backups going.
But, any theories to what would have jacked it up so bad? and why the stock moto logo wasn't put back when SBF'ing?
update:
rerooted just fine using Z4, installed clockwork recovery just fine too.
Right now I'm doing a data wipe and reinstalling ApeX 1.3.1 from scratch from clockwork recovery. Then I'm gonna restore one of my backups.
Hopefully all goes well
update:
recovered to my backup just fine. Still didn't get rid of the tranq boot logo, thankfully i had a zip stored away of the stock logo so I installed that.
All is now well in the world.
Lesson from this......if it's working fine, leave yo sht alone!
Logo is stored in different place then a system sbf will update. That's not tranQ 's fault. I still use gummyJar though. Too much blur in TranQ for me
I had the exact same problem when I went from fission to tran q. I literally had to do the. 320 sbf then the. 340 sbf to get tran q to install right. Didn't like it and put fission back on
yea i had to do the same thing comming from fission, and because of it i am just staying on tranquility until Obsidian is more stable, then GOODBYE BLUR :-D
The trick to installing TranQ is to install it over stock. If you try to install it over another custom ROM you will have nothing but problems.

I feel your pain, but you shouldn't be discouraged (as long as you Nandroid, Nandroid, Nandroid!).
I also spent a week fiddling with TranQ before giving up due to random reboots. But I went ahead and installed GummyJar. It was worth it!
When you're ready to climb back onto the horse, you should try GummyJar. If you prefer a no-bur ROM, it's probably the best in terms of speed and stability.
well i had tried Gummy before, but it was a little buggy for me. Phone would restart after calls, hardware buttons wouldn't always work and a few other little things.
I actually just switched to Fission and it's pretty brilliant thus far. No problems at all, and the fission manager helps a lot

IT IS TranQ's fault. It is the only ROM that does this. Before you get rid of Tranq, you have to go in to the tools and set your boot logo back to stock. I have flashed many different ROMs and it is the ONLY ONE that makes sure to "leave its mark," LITERALLY.
had same problem when I went from fission. I had to sbf .32 then sbf .34 then did the tran q and it worked just fine after that. I didn't like it to much so I went back to fission. To get rid of the tran q I just did the same sbf method I did and went back to fission.

You're right on w/this..Its too bad I found out the hard way..
So, I was trying to get GB on my device. I first installed the leaked rooted GB rom installed, which worked perfectly. So, then I wanted to run the Deodexed version of GB. So, I install koush bootstrap and that went fine. So I went into recovery to install the Deodexed version and that seem to work fine except it book loops. For some reason I can't get into bootstrap recovery(koush) but can get into the default recovery(when holding x on the keyboard and the power button), but from there I can only format, but won't let me load another rom or SBF. Any ideas on what to do? Thanks
I tried SBFing again and 3rd time was a charm. Now running ZombieStomped rom and pretty happy with the increased data/internet speeds.
what is the data speed hack that your running?
No hack(unless it is part of the rom), just moved to GB rom based on the latest leaks.
Ok sweet wasn't sure

used update.zip to upgrade to non rooted GB
sbf'd to .340 to reroot and updated to GB rooted.
Donated to Liberty - got Libert v0.5 GB.
Rebooted phone after setting permissions, 6hrs after putting Liberty on, infinite boot loop.
tried to sbf to .340 - it still shows liberty the rotating hawk? boot logo after the default moto logo... still boot looping.
Suggestions?
and I can't get into the Dx android recovery either........
You did an sbf and you still have the boot animation? That should not happen. Was it the full sbf?
Yes, same one I used when going from Liberty 2.0 back to stock then to unrooted GB a month ago.
finally got into android recovery - wiped everything and sbf'd again. Works.
So i was on liberty rom 2.0.1 and wanted to upgrade to the latest version in the nightlys. So i SBF back to version 2.3.320.MB810 and when i go to settings -> about phone -> systems update, it says i am already up to date. Can i get to gingerbread from this version or do i need to sbf to 2.3.340 to get to gingerbread.
I think you have to be on. 340, but I wouldn't encourage you to take the OTA to GB, download a prerooted .596 GB (team black hat...) then go from there.

So i sbf to .340 and tried to install the tbh .596 GB update, with the part1 and part 2 files. When i boot into recovery and try to apply the zip it give a error code of 7 during validation of the current system. According to the instructions the only thing i am not doing exactly is i am using the droid x boot straper not the droid 2. would that cause this. dont see the need to spend 3 bucks on something i already have
Try turning off USB Debugging prior to booting into recovery. I think I read somewhere that Droid X bootstrapper works fine as long as you do that first.
Ok so i hope someone can help me out on this i finally got to a TBH rooted GB install.
My next step is to get back on liberty because i just cant stand motoblur, gingerblut is a bit better than what came with froyo but it still sucks. the battery life is terrible and i cant stand all the bloat ware and crappy widgets.
I am not sure what issue i am having 3g data worked fine in liberty GB0.4 but if i ever moved past that it would stop working. So i spent a day and sbf to .340 then installed the TBH rooted stock GB. I then downloaded the libertyGB0.8 did a data wipe and installed it. No 3g data. I really love liberty have donated to them buying the pro toolbox and such. I really want to get back to liberty but i guess if i have to find a different rom i will . Anyone have any idea as to why if i go past liberty 0.4 i loose 3g?
Ok so this issue has expanded past just liberty. I tried to flash apex 2.0 rc1 with the same issue no 3g data. Phone calls and all of that work but no 3g data. i would really like some help with this dont want to get stuck on moto ginger. Will more than likely just go buy a different phone if i cant get this to work
You just need to flash the updated kernal. I had the same problem, and fixed it. let me see if I can find the thread with the info. All u need to do is download the zip file, put on sd card and flash. and itll work just fine. Ill look it up and post back. The 591_kernel_update.zip is what you need
