Hey guys, I need some advice with my Droid X. I used the Font Installer app from the market to change my fonts. Unfortunately, I've had to unroot my phone to send it back for warranty replacement using Petes Tool, but noticed my fonts are all still the same after unrooting. So, I went into stock recovery to clear/wipe data and it still will not change my fonts back to as they were when I first purchased the phone.
I'm thinking I have to re-root my phone, install Font Installer app back and then change them back to "stock" but I'm not sure if the app can do that.....or I could totally be a mile off, still learning how to root and toy with the X.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Ya... You will... Because changing the fonts is a system file... But the best way to get it ready to send back is an sbf... You can sbf to 602... that will clean everything up and have it set back to stock
We have nothing to feat but running out of beer
Thanks, Got it!

In ROM Manager (not FRM, Clockwork) under Fab's releases there is a zip to go back to stock fonts. I've always used that. Never tried it when using Fission, though. Thankfully, I haven't ran into a theme that changes the fonts with Fission. I also prefer stock fonts.
Ok didn't work what would I have to do to completely wipe the phone back to stock clear off all my personal stuff back to like out the box
you could try slapping another theme on top of it, like the stock one or the gingerbread one, can;t make any guarantees but thats how i got the stock icons back after a little mishap
Ok i need help unrooting my DX. I rooted it with Z4Root and i tried to unroot, it said it did but Super still installed. I have the fission rom manager theme installed but no app icon which I have nothing on my SD Card cause my friend who works at verizon wiped it after i told him not to. so i cant boot into recovery thru bootstrap. Im stuck can some one please help me
Rerooting might help. Are you trying to go back to stock?

You're going to want to use SBF. Search for it on these forums. Bascially it will take you back to stock with no root and format memory. It may seem a bit complicated to some, but it is really easy.
I agree with cstrife. SBF'ing is not very hard to do and it will get you back to 100% stock. I've done it several times myself. Just make sure you get the correct system version
I had the Liberty 1.5 ROM on my Droid Rooted with Rom Manager Clock Work recovery and everything was fine until..
I found a file on the web called Monster_D2_2.3.2_4.5.153 I used Clock Work recovery and installed it.
Now my phone says I have Android Version 2.3.3 Build Number STAB
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-gd72dc5da20523
It's running fine but I have lost ClockWork Recovery. I can not root the phone after trying several different methods. I can not install anything on it with its stock recovery without getting a signiture failure in the stock recovery and worst of all I can not uninstall it or overwrite it with anything I have loaded on the SD card.
I would be happy to remove this build and re-install Liberty.
I would be even more happy If I could just get this rooted and have my clockwork recovery back.
can anyone help me by pointing me to a thread or link that can help?
Thanks SO much

The problem is that there isn't a known process for rooting Gingerbread (except for installing a pre-rooted ROM)
SBF back to stock, and then you should be able to root, install clockworkmod, and then reinstall Liberty.

If you made a backup of liberty before you installed 2.3.3, after you root and put clockwork on, you should be able to just restore it.
It's always good to do as much research as you can before trying anything like that.
I installed VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf
Then I was able to root the phone and use my root applications. The device is very slow and too sketchy to complete anyone task so it was a failure.
Now with your advice I should get back on the right track. Thank You very much for the response. I thought for a moment I might have to drop my phone on the pavement and go to phoneclaim dot com. But you cant learn anything taking the easy way out. lol I'll post the outcome.

Yup, as long as you can get the phone into bootloader mode, the phone isn't bricked.
Hope everything works out!

I've had that performance problem after SBF'ing as well. I think I cleared data and rebooted a couple times to address the issue...
Complete Recovery!
Thank You SO much!
I began having a black screen.after a few weeks on gingerbread so I decided to sbf back to froyo but it failed now my phone gives the MOTO logo and goes directly to a black screen. I can't get it into flash mode even with holding the arrow up key. I'm out of ideas here so I'm really hoping to find a way to get this working again without being worried that its truly bricked. Any help would be greatly appreciative.
Have you been able to boot into anything else, such as the stock recovery?
Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience so far. I can't post on the MIUI page because I don't have enough posts, so I'll share here for anyone interested.
For anyone wanting to try MIUI for the DX, here's my experience, some tips, and suggestions.
-Beware, installing or trying to install ANY ROM may brick your phone. although it's very rare and unlikely to be unable to find a solution to problems, it can and has happened. so take caution and read instructions and so-forth carefully.
Some history of my DX. I soft-bricked my phone back in the early months of the DX trying to deodex it to install themes. It was stuck on M logo for 2 days before i learned enough from scratch to find out what an SBF was, where to find it, and how to flash my phone back to stock. Ever since then these nice folk on XDA-developers forums and other droid forums have helped me successfully mod my phone many times, through Q&A, detailed instructions, and a little luck.
I've rooted my phone using the command method, Z4Root, and several other processes. Some were hard to figure out, some soft-bricked my phone, most were easy as pie. I'm on a Z4Root atm.
The first successful ROM I installed was GUMMY-JAR. I liked it, it was good to me. nothing like the comprehensive ROMs out now though.
Then I jumped to Liberty 1.5, Liberty x.x etc... Liberty was awesome, but was still basically Froyo with advanced options. I loved it.
Now, just today, I've installed MIUI. And let me tell you, its amazing!
For anyone running Froyo Liberty ROMs, I believe that you can install MIUI right over the top. I didn't think it was going to work, as I hadn't seen anyone mention if it did or not over the top of Liberty 1.5.
If you want to install MIUI, go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181486
You MUST be rooted, and be running FROYO, NOT GB! You must also have the Droid X bootstrapper.
I won't give instructions, as I'm not qualified to do so. But I can tell you what I did from Liberty 1.5. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! 1) I downloaded the MIUI ROM from the above XDA post to my SD card on my phone. 2) I clicked 'bootstrap recovery' on the DX bootstrapper app, then 'reboot recovery.' My phone booted into clockwork recovery mode. 3) wiped data/factory reset. 4) cleared cache. 5) install from SD Card. 6) install MIUI.zip i downloaded from the link i posted above. let it run it's course. rebooted. DONE.
It's really that easy if you are running the DX stock Froyo kernal.
Keep in mind with MIUI, it does NOT auto-sync your Google account. you need to go into the options>>accounts/sync and add your Google account. You can then re-install apps from your backup or just re-download them. Make sure you've synced your contacts with your Google account so they will be there when you add your Google account.
Some thoughts on MIUI...
There is NO STOCK APP DRAWER. I recommend ADW launcher or Launcher PRO. The MIUI launcher inst bad, but it's like iOS in that there's no app drawer. It's just a bunch of screens with all your app icons like an iPhone.
You can download theme's and customize themes through settings>>personal>>theme manager. MIUI allows you to change fonts, boot animation, boot audio, lock-screen style, status bar, icons, launcher, wallpapers, text style, dialer style etc. There's tons of pre-made packages, but you can also change them all individually and create one you like best. You can do all of this directly from the settings menu including looking up new themes, downloading them, and applying them.
MIUI is running on 2.3.4 GB. So it wont say 2.2 anymore after you install. (I believe the kernal is still Froyo though? Please correct me if I am wrong)
I really hope this helps some of you newbies. I am thankful for all of you that have made posts like this that I have found useful in the past.
Note- some people are having issues installing MIUI. They are getting bootlooped on the M logo for some reason. I have no idea why this is, it worked perfectly for me first try. Just remember to follow the instructions on the ROM page, and that you are running the correct version of Android. You shouldn't get a boot-loop if you do so.
Hope this helps!
i have a question.... and this question is what will decide if i keep this or go back to liberty gingerbread....
how the hell do i flash anything.. i can't even install clockwork mod without getting bootloops.... and i'd love to flash certain apps onto this.... but if this can not be done i will have to go back.... the only thing going into recovery does is use the retarded original recovery... and that is a big deal.. if i ruin my phone on the go and need to pullup a backup i can not do this with this rom and i will end up phoneless until i can get to a computer to sbf

What exactly are you asking? "Flashing" is the process of basically overwriting your current Android OS with an Android OS SBF. If you are trying to install MIUI, you cannot do it with Gingerbread installed on your phone. "You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!" (MIUI)
If you want to install MIUI, i think the best bet would be SBF flashing to stock DX 2.2 .340 FROYO, re-rooting, then using the DX boot-strapper to boot into recovery. Then installing the MIUI .zip from SDcard in the recovery menu. Everything should work fine after that. Rmember you CANNOT go into recovery using DX boot-strapper once this ROM is installed. you CAN go into recovery with this ROM using ROM-manager. This is what I have experienced so far, and what others have said also.
no.. i already have the rom installed... i just want to be able to go into recovery without needing to be booted up.
i'm trying to install some zips through clockwork such as the old blur camera and a few other things... i will install rom manager and see how it goes from there... i love the UI of this rom but as far as being comfortable and stable.. liberty gingerbread has my vote as of now
i've cleared my cache and data several times and i get force closes alot. and this is a clean install coming straight after an SBF.
with liberty gingerbread i had the ability to set it so every phone reboot, even if a battery pull, would boot directly into clockwork mod.. making it easy for me in case i installed a zip that would get me into bootloop
Hmm, sorry mate, I dunno what to tell ya. Try looking aroudn forums or startign a new thread. someone more knowledgable than you or me will help you out.
thanks for everything though!! this really is a beautiful rom and i'd love to stick with it... i'll bite the bullet for the meantime and post around to get some help... i'd love to post in the developer section but i don't have enough posts yet.. haha

You need to install Rom Manager, and select flash Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you select Droid X (2nd Init). Then you can reboot into recovery with Rom Manager :-D

but the problem is that i would like to be able to go into recovery without having to do it through an app... i'd like to make it so every reboot (including battery pull) makes it boot into recovery. thats how i had liberty gingerbread doing it... if not.. i can live with it.. i'll just be a little more careful on what i'm installing
Just wanted to chime in about MIUI rom, I just flashed it yesterday and am ABSOLUTELY loving it thus far. I had no trouble at all installing the rom what-so-ever. I used ROM Manager to do the whole thing: downloaded newest ver. of MIUI, backup current ROM, wipe data and dalvik. Let it run its course and it rebooted and was up and running in no time flat!
Hay Guess im new to this so bare with me. I rooted my phone and it worked with everything i did. I bought rom tool manger installed a custom boot animation it worked fine till today i did a font install and now its stuck on the custom animation is there a way to fix that can i install a custom rom or do i have to wipe everything out and start from scratch and thanks.

Do you have CWM or TWRP recovery installed? Did you make a nandroid back up recently? If you did you can restore it.

Are you sure you are in the right forum section? This is a tablet forum not a phone forum.
Do you have the nexus phone?
I did the same thing, except with a status bar battery icon. I went into ROM Toolbox, first installed custom boot logo (worked), but then after I installed custom battery icon, Android kept giving me a "Status bar is unresponsive" kind of pop up, and would continue each time I clicked "force close".
Long story short, I had to use Nexus7 Toolkit to flash the stock image again, as I did not have a Nandroid backup at the time. I do now.
I did email the developer about it, and I was told I needed a deodexed ROM in order to customize. I'm hesitant to install a custom ROM, as I love having pure Android for the first time (I've been using CyanogenMod on my phone and my old HP Touchpad to keep me up to the latest). In time, I may give in, to have more customizations available.
Hay i got nexus root tool kit v1.5.2 and im stuck in what to do with it now. Would appreciate if someone could show me what to do i just want to restore it and i'll just root it again later on.
Ok i got it back to normal i want to thank all of you guys for taking the time to helping me out.
