I have a Droid X. Rooted it with Doomlord's One Click Zerg Rush. Rooted fine. Later used Rom Toolbox to change some of the status bar icons, (battery, wifi, 3g, etc) and changed the boot logo and boot animation. Now the earpiece no longer works. Can't hear anything unless I turn on speaker phone.
I used the exact same method to root my Xperia Play r800x, and same Rom Toolbox to change icons and boot animation as well but never had an issue with the play.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Restore a previous nandroid backup.
If that does nothing then SBF to .340 and take the OTA to Gingerbread and root via Pete's Motorola Root Tools.

Well it just randomly started working again. Yesterday I had restored the boot animation and logo and restored all icons, but it was still doing it. Then today it just started working again. Any possibilities that it was because of the boot logo? I ask because like I said earlier I changed the boot animation and icons on my Play with no issues.
Also, how do I unlocked the bootloader so that I can make a nandroid backup? I don't think it is unlocked.
I really think it might be a hardware related issue.
You are 100% correct when you say you're bootloader is locked. The Droid X's bootloader is not unlockable.
To install ClockworkMod Recovery you must use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper application. It can be downloaded from the Market or found "elsewhere" on the internet.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

I'll try the bootstrapper before changing things again. Thanks for the helpful info

Boot into recovery and load one of your backups. If you don't have backups, then you just learned why you need them. Of course, there are people who have uploaded nandroid backups to this site and others, find one of them, move it to your sdcard, boot into recovery, and install it.
If all this fails, then just .sbf. It doesn't take forever, and you can make a nice clean stock 2.2 backup after you root and then upgrade.
What OS are you running? Have you tried to SBF your phone back to factory?
Im guessing its 2.2 only

Yeah i got it back by doing spf. And then reloaded a backup, but i could never get into clockwork, what do u do yo get into clockwork because the only recovery i was able to get into was the recovery that comes with the phone, just would like to know.

The same thing happened to me trying to update using the update.zip. Installs everything normally but when it comes to booting it simply stops at the motorola logo, then if you reboot it several times taking the battery out it boots into the system.
Doesn't sound like your rooted? Have to be rooted to use Clockwork.
If you are rooted might try reinstalling the Bootstrap Recovery.
Would definitely suggest doing an SBF on the phone. The guides here are a little unorganized, so I wrote up a nice one below. Includes everything including the SBF file needed for flashing.

Need help! My phone was rooted using the Easy Root process, all was peachy until I decided to try the latest leak of 2.2. Didn't work, got stuck at the M logo and could only get the bootloader screen up. I thought it was bricked but after searching high and low through the blogosphere got to this post. Now I've done the sbf as suggested, but when I try to do the Easy Root again, nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root again so I can access the backup from my sd card and get my phone back to where I had it b/f. HELP!
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
I have a rooted X stuck at the M logo(I can get to the stock recovery) and I want to know if there's a way to get to Clockworkmod.
I have Koush's bootstrap and Clockworkmod installed, so all I need is something that will trigger the bootstrap.
The backstory is that I was uninstalling Blur applications from ApeX and got a little overzealous, and now it won't boot(probably waiting for an application that's never going to start).
Ive heard that if you hold the down volume button when powering on, it will send you to bootstrap.

Try plugging in a usb cable and pull the battery and put it back in, turn it on with the usb still in.

I think you're in for an SBF Flash. I had a similar problem the other day (tried to install a new rom...foolishly didn't make sure the battery was charged.) I tried all the above and then wound up doing a flash. Once I was back to stock the then gained root (another story) I quickly loaded Bootstrapper & restored my primary ROM (Darkslide 4.1) and am now a happy camper again.
I eventually gave up and SBF'd to stock, rooted, and then reinstalled ApeX. I was able to keep /data through the whole process, so I didn't lose too much. Is there any way to set up clockworkmod that it will always load in place of the default recovery system?

I've had it installed the entire time. By default it only bootstraps/loads clockworkmod if you tell it to(specifically you need to be able to write to /data/.recovery_mode) so you can't just boot into it when your phone is off.
What I want is a way to essentially replace the stock recovery app.

So does Koush and the rest of the Droid X owners...
Rubix has this feature sorta. If u install rubix drod implemented a beta fix that should boot into recovery if the battery is left out for x mins typically 3-5. From what I understand as long as the /system isn't formatted after installing rubix even if u use a different Ron this fix will still work. Might be worth installing rubix just to get this feature... and chances are if u haven't tried it before u might not want to leave rubix
Unless someone cracks the bootloader there is no easy to overwrite the stock recovery on droid x

Coming from an Unrevoked Forever Incredible, I've been searching for the same thing. Found this on another forum:
Getting Into Clockwork In a Pinch for Droid X
I saw a write up on this in another thread and I thought we needed it here too. I use this trick a lot and took it for granted that everyone knew it. Say you can't get into your phone to reboot into recovery through the Bootstrap App. Here are the Steps to get into Clockwork and Restore a Backup.
1) Make Sure your Phone is Plugged into the Charger.
2) Battery Pull.
3) With the Phone still Plugged into the Charger replace the Battery.
4) Wait until your Phone enters the Charging State. ( The Battery Icon Charging)
5) Hit your phone's power button, it should Boot into Clockwork Recovery. It works like a Charm for me everytime.
I figured that^ out on accident. If your stuck in the M you obviously have to battery pull but this will also work if you just reboot with a wall charger plugged in.
If you install the liberty rom, there is a feature that allows you to go into CWM every time you turn on the phone in the settings menu
Hello folks,
I am really angry at the moment.
I wanted to do a backup of my system. I have CM7 1.5 installed, and had the Clockworkmod as boot manager too. Installed "Droid 2 bootstrap", accepted the SU-Rights request after installation and my Defy made a restart. I exspected to get into the screen of the CMW again and I could do a Backup....
BUT: It does nothing. I only see the Bootlogo (red circle with white M), I can boot into Motorola Bootloader or in an oldschool Android Bootmanager.
Do you have any suggestion? Otherwise I will wipe my system again to Froyo, and throw it to Ebay. I am done with all this updating problems I have to face with, I really start to hate Motorola so much. A friend of mine uses a Nexus S and there not one of the problems I always get confronted with ever occured. Support is also something completly different looking at the update politics. But this is not the point, just tell me please if there is anything I can do to get it started again?
Thanks Chris
PS: RSD Lite gets connection with the Motorla Bootloader, could I try to replace something via RSD light? Or just wiping and installing Froyo again?
EDIT: OK, forget it. Installed FROYO again. As always with the crap from Motorola, it is nothing new to me any more.
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.

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?
