Got this DX from a friend, thinking it might just be a SBF flash away from being fixed.
Won't boot past 'M' and couldn't even access stock recovery. I don't know what he did to it.
Anyway, I RSD'd it and it does it thing. RSD says phone rebooted and everything passed, but the phone is back at the bootloader. I pull the battery, put it back in and the bootloader is still there.
I do another RSD flash. This time it actually tries to reboot, but hangs at the 'M' again. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and it never changes and RSD says reboot manually. I do another battery pull and reboot it. Still stuck. Tried it with a different SBF for the X, same results. Battery is dead now, gonna charge it with my roommate's X in the morning.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this and knows a solution, if there even is one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: I'm using RSDLite 5.5
I recommend trying an older version of RSD Lite. Try 4.8 or 4.9.

Will give it a shot when I can charge the battery, thanks!
4.8 always worked for me. You should look into 1kds linux disc as well. Once you burn it you'll never use rsd again.

Press both camera buttons after attempting to access stock recovery by holding power and home. sbf using rsd lite 4.7 grab the full
flash sbf 3.3.340 /not system only file! Should be about 486,000mb. (Might need winrar to extract file before flashing with
rsd.)
Instruction: (1)Sbf 3.3.340 full flash
(2) When rsd says manually power up the phone. Disconnect from computer, and pull battery.(3) Boot holding home and power button. Click both volume keys down to access stock recovery.(4) Wipe data factory reset.
This worked for me! Good luck.

So I tried using an older version of RSD (4.8) and got the same results, although I'm now stuck at the older white 'M' as opposed to the newer red one.
I used VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf and still cannot access the stock recovery. I'm starting to think the phone is fubar. Anymore ideas?
Gonna try the linux way in a few.
Since you have the white motorola its on 340, so thats a good sign. Did you try to burn 1kds? Google stuck at white moforola. I'm pretty sure your phone isn't fubared

I just tried 1kds with the same result. Stuck at white 'M' with no access to stock recovery. I read somewhere that this could be a RAM hardware failure, but I really hope it's not.

I'm nearly positive an SBF is the only remedy. The issues everyone seem to be having with SBFing is very odd.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
use linux ... its easy
I's guessing your sbf file is not right in the head somehow. I would try redownloading the sbf and make very sure it is for the version of bootloader you are on. ALSO might try an sbf from linux. I have had lots of problems with RSD Lite in Windows that seem to solve themselves in linux, plus with linux there are no drivers to install. I will private message you with some good instructions with a type of ALL in ONE process. let me know if u have any problems..

My friend kind of went a little crazy and got too ambitious with his newly found root powers, and deleted some important stuff, so I need to know where I can get a stock droid 2 rom so he can just start over from scratch. And no, he didn't make a backup before he started messing with it, unfortunately. Any help in directing me to a stock rom would be much appreciated =)
Didn't wanna start a new thread. This was the original question for this thread, just so the two replies make sense:
"So I just bought my droid 2, rooted it using the one click method, didn't have any complications, but then I tried installing clockwork recovery, and while it said it installed successfully, but when I try rebooting into recovery, it just reboots normally.
I tried booting straight into recovery using the power button and x, but all it does is display the android with an exclaimation point next to it, and I have to pull the battery to get it to reboot.
WTF is going on?! I've looked through the forums and googled it, but I can't figure out what the problem is, anyone know?"

You need droid 2 bootstrap, otherwise you can't get into clockwork, google droid 2 bootstrap to find it

My setup -froyo, rooted and themed (no rom). 07 bootloader.
Tried to go to. 588 by three step process..... FAILED (error 7)
Tried to go to. 596 tbh 2 step method..... FAILED
Tried to sbf....... FAILED ( used 2 diff versions of rsd and downloaded full sbf 2 diff times)
Tried to take the OTA...... FAILED
The only good in all of this is the fact that I could restore my backup with nandroid, and I really don't mind froyo. It's been pretty good to me. For the love of God what have I done in a prior life to deserve this

What OS are you trying to sbf on? I had to rename the sbf and place it on the root of my C drive to get it to work
XP, it runs fine, sees my device, runs the sbf and fails at the end.

I would have to agree. I have done it twice now without any issues on my Ubuntu box. If you don't want to actually install Ubuntu you can run it off a thumbdrive or even a cd.
No idea what that is but I will do some googleing and give it a try. Thanks.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Why would Ubuntu make the sbf work? Also what is the process for doing the sbf with the operating system? Seems crazy but if it works, what the hell, I'll try it.

Because it's linux. And designed more for this kind of thing than windows.
It is incredibly simple because you enter one command in the terminal. And it just works. Pm me if you (or anyone here) want a link, the admin doesn't like me posting the site I use
This may be silly, but I'm interested in upgrading from the Froyo Kernel to the Gingerbread Kernel on my rooted droid x. I really wanna play around with roms that are based off of the gingerbread one. What's the easiest way of doing this without having to sbf?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm not sure that you can without SBFing. You may be able to use a Gingerbread AIO.

Why are you afraid to SBF? its easier than flashing a rom
Doing an SBF scares me bc if I do ONE wrong step it can brick they phone. Flashing a rom might do something glitchy to your phone, but it won't comepletely brick it. Not to mention if you can boot into Clockwork mod you're always safe. Anyway, I HAVE done Froyo SBF's a couple of times when I've done stupid things to my phone in the past, but I always wait to use that as a last resort.

If your SBF messes up.. Just SBF again.
The Droid X cannot be bricked. Anything that goes wrong with your Droid X can be fixed with a simple SBF. It's easy and only takes fifteen minutes.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The SBF process really isn't any where near as complex as many make it seem.
The "OMG RISKY" warnings are likely for their own protection and so that they don't get chewed out JUST IN CASE you brick your device.
-Reliable Cord.
-If using a laptop, make sure it's charged.
-Make sure your phone is charged.
And you'll be fine.

Rom Toolbox by Jrummy has an AIO updater file that will work.
So i got this phone in a soft brick maybe... My knowledge regarding the droid 2 is essentially small. The phone will not boot up,it got stuck on the motorola logo, i was told that the phone was rooted and flashed with some sort of gingerbread, so i booted into recovery and did a factory reset...still after the reset the phone is still stuck in the motorola logo. Is there any one click restore or any link that might help me get it working again? Thanks in advance
You're going to have to sbf your phone back to froyo.

try ezSBF
also read about SBF in droid wiki and FAQs, links in my sig
edit: try this one
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/161849-tool-ezsbf.html
that link may not work, thought it had been updated
you need SBF, RSD Lite, and Motorola drivers
in think latest SBF is 2.3.20
you might find downloads here

So today I decided to fire up my old continuum and it wouldn't boot. Naturally I went into cwm and tried to restore my old backup. Looks like it didn't want to after it said it was complete I rebooted system and the phone sits on the Samsung splash screen and vibrates.
I pulled the battery and then went back into cwm and wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache. Tried to boot again and it did the same thing.
So I just want to get the phone back up and running. I don't plan on activating it. I just need it to boot to run some apps daily.
I was thinking of ways to do this and I think if I flash the stock 2.2 rom in recovery it might work. Or should I Odin back?
I don't really remember how to use Odin since it's been so long. Nor do I have any of the files on my pc.
Any suggestions on what I should do to get it back up?
Thanks.

Honestly I would just go back in and use Odin. I have deleted most of my old files. but they should all still be on the forum. Some of the links may be broken. I can always check for you and repost files if links are broken and I have still have them. (I can't remember if I wiped that hard drive or not, the laptop was misbehaving and I think I did a clean install). I will try and check tonight. You might want to try reinstalling the base file in CWM depending on which version you are running, I have had some backups go corrupt if I changed the wrong thing...

WOW...Surprised to see some activity on this forum!! It's been a long time! I still mess with the old Continuum once in a while just to try stuff out. I have the EG04 files still if you need them. Still have some of TB101's mods too.
Nah I'm just running 2.1 I found some files and got it back. I'm not using it as a phone just a money making machine. Thanks though. I moved on to the droid dna like 8 months ago.
