[Q] help stuck at rubix boot screen

ok, typically i've had no problems installing custom roms. i put rubix on here last night and really don't like it that much. well, my sd card crashed somehow also so i lost all my backups. so, i went into rom manager and was going to reinstall zapx. it went through all the functions and now i'm stuck on the rubix boot screen. it just keeps reloading... i was rooted with 2.2, so what do i need to do now? please help asap. i really need my phone today!!!!
edit:
ok so from looking around i've found that i need to flash the sbf file using rsd lite 4.8. ok so i dl'd rsd no problem. i dl the sbf file and click to open and it doesn't work. i tried to "use rsd" to open and still nothing... am i missing something on my pc to run this sbf file?
edit #2:
so i got the sbf file to run in rsd... install went good and fast. phone boots up to "welcome to droidx touch the android to begin", i touch it and nothing happens... just flashes. emergency dial won't work, change language does work... thats it... please help!!!
LAST EDIT:

I personally like it when I get to take both sides of the conversation. I usually agree with myself (usually).
Glad you figured it out.

yeah that was fun. i'm learning sooo much about these things. it actually makes me happy when i figure it all out on my own without having to wait on answers... after all the messing with roms and everything, now that i have the 2.2 ota sbf installed, i re-rooted and its running great. not sure i'll even put a different rom on anymore. no need really. i'm overclocked and i hit a 1665 quadrant score. rubix was great except the camera app. even with the 8mp fix on the cam and 720p fix on camcorder i just hate the way it doesn't use the widescreen effect like on the stock camera... thats my 2 cents about my situation today!

Help can't SBF my Droid 2 - Linux/Windows

Did you check your PC's Firewall, my dear?
Sent from my marginally bricked D2.

I've tried another round of trying to fix my phone w/ Firewall disabled. I've used 8 different computers to see if it was mines that was acting up. I've tried to flash the SBF through WinXP SP2/SP3, 2000, Vista 32bit/64bit, Windows 7 32bit/64bit and Ubuntu.
I don't understand why this is happening to me :\ I'm using my old Blackberry in the meantime until I could figure out how to flash this correctly. I don't know what i'm doing wrong?
Anyone got any advices?

Sorry I didn't get back to you through PM I've been a little busy. Have you tried flashing the D2 2.37 Bootloader? (I believe that's what it is, you need the newest, but the old one won't hurt anything.) Maybe something's mucked on yours. But I'm not sure. What's the history of the device maybe that will lead to a solution?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

My Droid 2 is currently using Bootloader D2.37. I've refreshed and reloaded the Bootloader.. I've also tried to downgrade it in attempt to see if it'd do anything, but it seems to not allow me to - says Failed. I followed a thread somewhere on this site.
These are the problems i'm encountering which is leading to me wanting to restore my phone.
About a week ago, my phone suddenly Force Closed on everything I attempted to open. At the moment, I was sending a text. I then rebooted my device, and oddly enough, all my "new" text I sent were gone. It only restored the last time my phone was in a usable state. Seems to not save anything I do on my phone prior to the reboot. I'm not sure what the heck the deal is. My phone still works, but every few hours I must reboot my phone.
I've already tried multiple times to Wipe Data/Cache, Uninstall Apps (once I reboot, they all come back), and deleting Bootstrap through ADB/Terminal and reinstalling. I can't even get into Bootstrap.. I just can't seem to do anything with my device. Everytime I remove or delete something, the next reboot will bring them back.
Has anyone ever heard of this weird issue? I've tried searching to see if this has happened to anyone elses Droid 2, but it seems i'm the first to encounter this

Are you sure you're correctly rooted and you have never flashed clockwork or ROM manager without installing and running bootstrap?
If you are 100% sure then I think you have a deeper issue than some messed up hardware or something like that. I can't think of anyway that would happen unless you had some program make a backup and reinstall it every boot or so and that would be weird.
What ROM's have you used? Do you have any kind of back up software that could be interfering with your setup? Do you have a backup you can restore to?
Sorry I can't help you more. This is a really strange issue.

1. Yup I am correctly rooted. I have the Superuser app, and even did a check to assure my root was intact by downloading Titanium Backup to verify my device was rooted.
2. I've installed ROMs before. When I rooted (Nov '10) I used Z4Root, and Bootstrap Recovery then installed Fission 2.2.1/2
3. Aside from downloading Titanium Backup to verify my Root. Nope, I do not use any type of backup.
4. Yes, I have a fresh backup I could restore to if I was able to get into CW Recovery.
I am thinking I should give up. I've been trying to get this fixed for about 8 days now. I'm going to be picking up a Droid 2 Global today from a Craigslist’s seller.

Have you tried turning the D2 off completely then plugging it into your wall charger while off. Then while it's plugged in and off turn it on. You might have to press power twice to get past the charging screen but if everything is fine you should hopefully be in clockwork if it's still on your phone and then you can try and restore the backup.
Have you tried a different usb cable?
Also it should still be under waranty at least from moto but you might see if VZW can help you (if that's where you got it)

Is this the Linux method you tried? It's super convenient and really easy if you know a little bit about how to work it.

Sounds like a good suggestion.

[Q]Just plain lost

Ok so as my previous post stated I just got my droid x and rooted it. I am in the process of installing a rom but have failed at this point.
For starters I have the droid x bootstrap installed and "running". Buy "running" I mean I can get to the clockwork recovery but only buy the bootstrap button or battery pull for 1min then boot. Booting while holding the home button stops at the exclamation android guy. I cant get past it no matter how hard I push the search button . So thats one of my problems but not a big one.
When I went to install liberty 1.5 I did a data factory reset and catch wipe then installed the rom. It got stuck on the liberty logo. So I tried again this time following the guide on these forms on how to install a rom correctly. Same thing. I tried three more times following three different guides and still was stuck at the liberty logo. So I gave up and followed the install guide on these forms again, but just restored from my backup. I am good and running again but I still have the liberty logo, which from what I read is normal.
When I got home from work I started digging into why it didn't work and found several things that may cause it. Now this is where I get lost. I have read the sometimes it just fails and you need to try again. But I also read the doing a SBF will also fix this. So I dug into what a SBF is and how to do it since this seams to be the #1 fix for everything. WHAT, UHH, MMMMM, K. So I read you will need to flash 2 files to SBF successfully. I have no problems with the RSD lite as it is only one file and you cant screw that up. But then I comes to choosing the right SBF file for your phone I get lost. All the versions listed are WAY below what I have. I am currently on 4.5.588. So I jumped over to androidforms to see if theirs anything their. They list x.x.596 as the most recent OTA but when I go to check for updates it says there are none.
SO, my questions are:
Is the reason I cant flash the liberty rom because I am running 4.5.588?
What do I flash if I need to SBF?
What am I missing about this OTA update? Is it being rolled out now or is my rom the most recent OTA?
Is their anything else I need to know that might help me in the future? Like I said I am new to this area of the forms and have not clew whats being released, changed, rooted, or what ever else.
I came from a rooted eris so Im not root dumb. But their is a big difference between the eris and the X.
ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME THANKS!!!!!!!!

The new 2.3.3 OTA is stable and very nice looking on my DX, OTA not rootable yet but give it time.
Biggest life saver about the DX is the the part of the phone that ppl mess up and turn their phones to bricks is extremely safe on the X, not bulletproof but all the info in these forums I believe can bring them back regardless of what happens. I was very overwhelmed at first with my X but very comfortable now that ive successfully managed the sbf.

Yeah that's one of the things I really noticed. If you brick your phone it seams its not the end. So im still a little confused with your explanation on SBFing. You say that 2.3.3 is the latest OTA but its not rootable. So am I looking at the wrong number when I say my version is 4.5.588.

Reading the noobs guide to droid x allowed me to figure out that I have the 30.04 bootloader and I will need to flash the 2.3.34 file. But I would still like to know why my version is so much higher then 2.3.34.

By far, this is the easiest way to sbf back to stock froyo

your looking at the version of the software build, complete jargon here but say your on android 2.2.1 version blah blah blah, what i was referring to was although you may have a higher version of 2.2.1 than what you are reading, a lower version of a higher android software such as 2.3.3 is better than a higher version of 2.2.1 same page?

[Q] Totally Screwed...

Hi all, yes, I'm a noob..
Trying to help a friend that screwed up his phone.. DX, had Froyo 2.2.1. and 2.3.340, was rooted with z4root, Koush Bootstrap, and Liberty 1.5. Did a wiped cache, factory reset, removed Bootstrap, and unrooted. Now the phone just boot loops with the Liberty logo (apparently forgot to change it back first) and Droid eye. I can go into the stock system recovery, wipe cache and wipe data/factory set, which I have done several times however it still boot loops and my pc still does not see the device, nor does RSDlite v4.8 with motohelper 2.0.49 driver 5.0.0, followed the sbf guide by maderschramm but still no luck seeing my handset. When I put an update.zip file on the sdcard and try to apply it I get E:signature verification failed Installation aborted. My eyes are strained from reading so many forums and trying to figure this out on my own to no avail, would appreciate any feedback.

Use the linux sbf tool here, its always worked for me

[Q] How To Needed - update from 2.2.1

I've been running Liberty on my Droid X for some time now and love it compared to the stock Blur interface. But it's gotten to the point where I'd like to update from Froyo to one of the more modern versions and see if that can liven up the phone again. So my question is this - from what I've read before I can update Liberty (or any other ROM for that matter) from a Froyo based version I need to restore the phone to a semi-stock state, update via an official OTA release, re-root and go from there. Is that true? If so, any convenient guide on how to do so? I did a bit of searching and couldn't find much and while I'm pretty technically inclined my skills do not extend into the phone region and back when I originally modified the phone there were many handy guides and videos to walk me through it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nate

If your bootloader version is 30.04, SBF to 4.5.602. From there you can flash any Gingerbread or ICS rom of your choice.
If your bootloader version is 30.03, SBF to 2.3.15 and take the OTA update.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Let the stupid questions begin...
Ok, I confirmed that I'm running 30.04 and I found a site that maintains the correct 4.5.602 file so I downloaded that. Is there anything that I need to back up before installing? Also, I read that a special program is required to install the SBF files so any assistance there would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!

Ok, so I managed to track down RSD-Lite and got it to recognize the device and start loading the sbf file however the phone couldn't get past the "manually power up the phone" phase (or something like that). It just kept showing the boot animation over and over again regardless of what I did - it would cycle between the red eye and the DROID text. I tried pushing and holding the power button, no good and none of the other buttons did anything either. Nothing worked. So I'm rerunning it again and we'll see if the second time is a charm...

Well crap, I got through the SBF install process and got the pass message from RSD but now my phone is stuck at the animation and won't go any further. I've left it running for the better part of 10 minutes and it just hangs. I'm now performing a manual factory data wipe to see if that will help.
EDIT: It appears that the factory data wipe got me through the locked animation. Still having minor issues getting through the programing and setup phase but I think it'll work eventually.
Thanks again for the help.

Minor question/problem for you, sir.
Wouldn't the OTA take you all the way to .621?
Wonderful...yet another thing we need to worry about that damn update <_<
OP:
Glad you got it worked out.

Well, it's sort of worked out.
Everything is up and running but ROM Toolbox isn't able to load any ROMs. It gets granted Superuser permission so I'm pretty sure that I've got the X rooted correctly but when it tries to boot into Clockwork it appears to get an error (icon with an exclamation point) and reboots into the regular Blur interface. I'm going to have a go at loading something like Liberty Gingerbread or 3.0 via zip file but it makes me nervous that the Toolbox Pro App can't get this done.

After determining that the Toolbox App was not booting into Clockwork I downloaded and installed the Droid X Bootstrapper App and got that running. It was able to correctly boot into recovery from which allowed me to install the Liberty 3 ROM. I'm now going back through the process of setting the phone up with the new ROM so we'll see how that goes. It appears to be working, but only time will tell if it's stable. One thing is for sure, a few hours on Blur'd Gingerbread and I was ready for something else again.

I was actually wondering whether it would or not, but I can't think of another way to update the bootloader.

Ok, so here's an issue that I'd appreciate some guidance on. After installing Liberty 3.0 it appears as if the phone can't fully charge. It was plugged in for 10hrs last night and yet this morning the battery only reads 61%. I don't know if it would be best to boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats not knowing if it's fully charged or not.
Thoughts?
