Hey guys I need some help here. I just rooted my droid x and installed the koush recovery as stated in the noobs guide to the droid x. i was able to boot into recovery and clear my data and cache and I installed Gingerale 3.0.
Well I cant get wifi tethering to work so I need to install a WUG's patch. Problem is, I cant seem to boot into koush's recovery anymore. I installed it again on the new rom and tapped bootstrap recovery and it said success. Then I tapped reboot recovery and my phone rebooted. The M came up then all I get is black screen with the backlight on. I have waited 15 minutes and same thing. I have to pull the battery and reboot. I can not for the life of me figure out why I cannot boot into clockwork.
I could use some help. Thanks.

Try downloading ROM Manager from the Market. Once you open it up click Flash Recovery and select Droid X. Now try to boot into recovery from ROM Manager.
Thanks for the reply. I have done as you said and still no dice. The phone reboots, the M comes up then screen goes black with the backlight on and thats it. Any other ideas?

I dont have a problem sbfing but I would hate to do that if its just going to happen again. A quick search on this forums brings up tons of results of people having the same issue and i have not been able to find a solution for it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried stock recovery? And you have d2 bootatrapper?

I've rooted my Droid X with Z4 and made a nandroid backup.
I then installed ApeX 1.30 and everything works great.
The issue is - when I take my phone off it's charger each morning and turn the phone on it boots into Clockwork Recovery - every single day and I must manually press the camera button to select "reboot now" - then all is well.
It ONLY does this when it's on the wall charger - not during regular reboots or on/off cycles.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Droid X Bootstrap Recovery - tried battery pulls - tried combos of the above. Tried just launching Bootstrap recovery - then turned the phone off and did a battery pull. Same old thing - every time the phone comes off the charger and its turned on - it goes straight to Clockwork Recovery and I have to manually select reboot - then all is well.
It's not a show stopping issue - but it's just annoying enough that I'd like to get it fixed.
Any tips/suggestions/hints would help. I've searched and can't seem to find an answer that works. Thanks in advance!
My only advise, learn to love it. Seriously. It happens to me as well but, its a small price to pay to have recovery. If you're ever in a bootloop it will be great!!!

It's not a bug, it's a feature. (seriously)
It is a valuable feature. When you turn off your X and put it on the charger the phone boots to the charging screen not the OS. The recovery looks at this like an unsuccessful OS boot and on the next boot it activates the recovery.

He is totally right, I wish my DX did that.
Here's a fix for this minor annoyance, open bootstrap app, click bootstrap recovery, then ok on the pop up and voila, no more booting into clockwork.
And if you get stuck in a bootloop there's no guarantee it will boot into clockwork whether you have it to or not. Always run through troubleshoot options...battery pull, stock recovery, update zip, and finally SBF.
That's actually a very good thing. Don't get mad at it
Mine is doing the same thing even when its not on a charger. Every day I m in recovery mode. Im trying to fix it on a defferent thread not having much luck. Using root explorer to fix the issue but no luck. Im only rooted and do not have bootstrapper installed. My thread is a few above this one. Now I know that's its not a big issue but I still don't want it.

Check out the following thread:

I had helped another guy who posted in here (spacecase) and I got his problem resolved. As everyone else in here has said...the fact that it always boots into recovery is great! If you TRULY want to get rid of it... Follow my instructions in the thread I have a link to above.
Good luck
ok so i was using Liberty rom on my rooted droid 2 and decided to sbf it so and now im in bootloop. ive tryed to sbf it again, but nothing. i took it to verizon because my battery died and the dude took my phone and decided he would try and flash it but now in when the phones in flash mode it says its got bootloader 2.7. and before when i flashed it it said 2.3.2. so dones any one know how to fix it and anyone heard of 2.7 or did he think i had a droid 2 global or something?
Moved to general
ok its not 2.7, its 2.37
Can you get into recovery by holding x while turning the phone on? If you can, try wiping data/cache

After you get the triangle exclamation driod press the search (magnifying glass) on the keyboard to bring up the menu then use the volume keys to scroll and the camera button on the side to select. Wipe data and cache and you should be fine.
You won't be able to get into clockwork after an sbf until you re-root and re-bootstrap.

FIXED!!! thank you!!!
I am assuming this may be something simple to most but I can't figure it out.
In the rooted version of GB I just flat out can't get into CWR.
I have tried all different button combos at startup as well as the Reboot into recovery option in Rom Manager and just can't get there.
Suggestions?
Use the droid 2 bootstrap,i was having problems with the rom manager one too, the droid 2 bootstrap works fine

I'm sorry...I just had to comment because this made me laugh. I'm assuming you meant 'pay' but just the mere thought of having to party for an app made me chuckle. I'll party for apps all day lol.

Problem solved. Thanks everyone
I found out that if you turn off debugging on the phone the DX Bootstrap will work fine.
Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo
Hi folks,
I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..
Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.
This of course does not work and installation aborts.
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Chris

When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.
I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function. Anyone have some ideas.
Hi,
I am new at this but from reading how to install custom roms, it seems easy enough. I downloaded fission rom manager and bootstrap from the market for $2 and went along with installing fisson through the rom manager. When it reboots, it goes from the Motorola M to the Circling droid red eye. It doesn't install fission at all. I also tried to do it manually with no success as well.
am i doing something wrong? do i need to do a full factory reset before doing this?
thanks

Download Clockwork Recovery and Install it. Then click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and make sure you select Motorola Droid X. After that try using Fission again.
didnt work. im trying to install fission black edition 2.5.7 droid x if that helps.

This helped!!!!! Finally after 30 minutes of searching the forum. Thanks!
I think i bricked my Droid X. i was running Rubix Focused and tryed to flash GingerAle 3.0 and now it just sits at the moto "M" logo. i can get into the recovery by pulling the battery but even after a wipe and a recovery it still just sits. did i brick it, and if so how can i fix it? please help, reletivly new to flashing roms.
P.S. I'll love you forever if i can fix it =)
now i think i really did it. I tried running a recovery image from a few days ago and now i cant get back into the recovery menu...
Sounds Like SBF Time
Sounds like SBF is going to be your friend here, if you don't know how, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2
and look for "SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?"
OK, so i SBFed the phone, got all the way through it, got to the phone is rebooting and it just sits at the Moto "M" again. did i SBF wrong or what?
EDIT: I can get into the stock recovery... sort of. i can get to the ! with the droid next to it but nothing happens when i push the search button.
hmm, I know GB doesnt use the search button to pass that, try using vol UP+DOWN at the same time. perhaps the stock recovery isn't modified from SBF?
Woot that worked. got into recovery. wiped data and tryed a reboot, got stuck at logo again. should i try flashing back to the Rubix focused i had before?
Edit: it now boots into <3e> recovery and i get the e: signature verification failed instillation aborted when i try to install Rubix or Gingerale.
You can't install a custom roms from stock recovery
