Just wanted to let folks know who may be interested in trying out the new CyanogenMod 7.2 rc1 Shadow for our Droid X that you may experience a problem like I did when you try and flash this build.
I had already taken the .621 OTA update (which made me lose root) and then flashed the Milestone X .604 sbf file (which leaves our baseband radio alone for data) using sbf_flash in linux, then using the zerg root tool to regain root on this phone, then used the Droid 2 Bootstrap to get to clockwork recovery.
When I flashed this build I get the dreaded bootloader error screen after the reboot. I've tried this CM7.2rc1 twice now and each time after I reboot it shows me the bootloader screen with an error code and doesn't go any further.
It didn't give me any problems when I flashed an unofficial CM9 beta though. It's running fine on this phone.

I don't remember the version if you're asking for the version of cwm recovery the droid 2 bootstrapper installed on my phone before I flashed the CM9 beta.
However, there are a lot of folks reporting the same issue over on RootzWiki about not unnecessarily this CM7.2r1 but with flashing any non-2nd-init roms after going from .621 to .604.

Someone just posted this to the Rootz thread a bit ago:

Full process (assuming you know exact details to do each step)
1: SBF 621 with RSD Lite to make sure you have 15p Radio
2: SBF 604 in Linux to install 604 Rootable system.
3: Root with Zergrush V4
4: Use Droid 2 Bootstrap to bootstrap recovery
5: Install ROM Manager
6: Install latest CWM (Droid X version NOT DROID X 2ND INIT) using Rom Manager
7: Copy your ROM zip or previous nandroid backup to SD card.
8: Reboot into recovery from Rom Manager
9: Clear User data/Factory reset
10: For good measure, wipe cache as well.
11a: Install zip from SD card, install your rom
11b: Restore previous 602/605 GB nandroid backup.
12: Reboot and eat bacon with your awesome phone

Looks like you need the latest DX CWM.
So the official Droid X nightlies are finally on the Gingerbread kernel?

Not working for me. I've done every step in that list over the past day and no luck, I'm still getting the error when I try to flash cm7. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.0, the one that ROM Manager updated it to for me and still nothing.

This may still be based on the Froyo kernel. I haven't heard otherwise.

Having two different issues with my phone.
SBF'd with .596. Rooted with Z4, using Droid2 bootstrap.
For one: I can't reboot into bootstrap through the app. I have to use the old fashion way.
For two: Any time I try to install any update zip files, I get an exception error. Doesn't matter what type of update it is.
Specifically, I've been trying to flash a wugfresh wireless tether update so I can use it on the stock .596, but no dice.
What could be wrong, and what could I do to remedy?
Your problem may be that Z4root can't root Gingerbread.

These are the steps I followed essentially.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/
SBF to Froyo. Root with Z4. Install D2 bootstrap. Flash two-part blur zip files. Done.
I used Z4 to root froyo, and install GB over it. Not to root GB
I'm used to Samsung Rooting/Flashingm but i'm new to MOTO.
i read the beginners guide, and i'm still unclear as to the exact procedure to flashing a ROM.
I'm trying to Root and Flash MSGinger 2.1 to a TMO Defy with a Red Lens. It's currently unrooted/stock, running 2.2.1.
I'm just unsure about if/when i need to use RSDlite to flash an SBF.
if someone could just give me a numbered sequence as to the exact steps, i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

So just to make sure....
From stock 2.2.1
1. flash the fixed sbf....reboot
2. Root using superoneclick
3. Reboot and install 2ndinit
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Install with cwm using advanced restore method
That right?
Thanks again!

Red lense...? Green lense...? How did you flash it? What kernel...? Do you have access to the bootmenu... If not, do you have access to stock recovery...? Come on, dude... Be more specific, don't make us guess.

sorry
it's green lense, i flash it over custom recovery. I really don't know which kernel there is, i didn´t flash any new kernel, so i guess there is stock kernel. I can't get to the bootmenu, but i have acces to stock recovery.
EDIT: I realized, that there was flashed MIUI rom downloaded from official site (before trying update to ICS). I don't know which kernel this rom uses, so maybe there was gingerbread kernel. Before root and everithing, official Motorola's rom was froyo.
EDIT2:
I think that problem is here:
Nandroid Backup
This is just a .zip file flasheable with a Custom Recovery, this will Delete/Copy all the files in the /System and other partitions (depending on the Nandroid) without formatting or remaking the partition thus not modifying the system layout, eFuse or stuff; this is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed.

(quoted from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982)
question is how and which SBF should i install
As far as I saw, this is a Froyo based build, so you should be fine with the Froyo kernel you have from your stock ROM...
Go to custom recovery and wipe data/cache. If you are still unable to boot afterwards, you might need to flash a fixed or a full sbf.
Hahaha never flash someone else's phone, especially parents!! Because when this happens you are SCREWED
Above info is indeed correct, I have bricked mine to a similar state by using a badly coded app, I just flashed a full froyo 2.2.2 sbf as my custom recovery was broken, reinstalled recovery with the 2ndinit app and restored my backup, never had a problem since
Sent from the real world by hacking into the matrix
could you recomend me wich fixed SBF should i flash? and am i right, that i should use RSD lite to do it?
i know, these are really stupid question, but i am not 100% sure what to do and i can make things right ...
the best will be, if you write step by step what exactly is needed
thank you very much

First time flashing a rom so I know i've got something out of order in the process.
ATTEMPTED:
I attempted ROM manager and it kept saying that I needed to install Clockworkmod recovery and I never could really get it working.
ENDED UP DOING:
Phone is rooted and unlocked for non-market apps with Superoneclick.
Installed 2init to flash [JB] CM10 Jellybean 4.1.1 from the Quartz build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779324)
No problem here. Got it up and running and gapps installed.(from http://goo.im/gapps used gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip)
When I tried installing the sbf file with RSD Lite (v5.7), I hit the red Moto logo bootloop and had to do the stock recovery.
I am wondering how to avoid this bootloop when I install the SBF file (p4_kobe_umts_kobe_user_3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4_product-keys-ATT-US_ATT-signed.sbf) can't remember which site I downloaded it from. I've tried this 4 times. Any suggestions?
Btw, what is included in the SBF file? I assume it has the moto and att apps. I'm just looking for the att phonebook and the motoblur for backup.
I've looked around the forum a lot so please forgive me if I am asking about something already posted. It just wasnt clear for me.
Thanks for the help.

The SBF has factory/stock MotoBlur with the at&t bloatware included. You can't use MotoBlur with cyanogenmod that I know of. You might be able to use the at&t address book though.
You need to reboot into recovery after installing 2init. You do that by pressing volume down when the blue led light comes on at the red logo.
Then you can install cm10 and gapps.
Try sbf in linux if all else fails, skeevy420 posted a great tut on how to do it, or just look up "flash sbf linux" in google and you'll find a guide from somewhere. Sounds like you just need to start from scratch, in which case you have to flash sbf first.

hello all, I am a noob when it comes to modding my smartphone however I am somewhat tech savvy. I have a problem getting cyanogenmod 7.2.0 to install on my rooted milestone x. I have been told that a milestone x is just another droid x port. I have already rooted my phone with super one click 2.3.3.0. I have backed up my phone with Titanium Backup Premium and installed ROM Manager Premium. I followed the instructions on various webpages but I get an error when trying to install the mod. The error is:
- Install from sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ..
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now here is my specs:
Model - milestone x
system version - 4.5.604.MB809.ACG-nTelos.en.US
Android Version - 2.3.5
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-geadffa3
[email protected] #1
Build Number - 4.5.1_57_MX2-34
Now I will tell you I was trying to flash the rom in the stock recovery because I didn't realize until later that it wasn't in clockworkmod recovery. Herein lies the problem, I can't get into CWM recovery no matter what I've tried on the net searching for answers. I have downloaded droid 2 bootstrapper as well. I can't find a working link to droid x bootstrapper. Am I just stuck with my stock X or is there hope?
official cm7 has a kernel check, use a version with kernel check removed
but your log post did not show that

now i seem to be stuck at a red M logo after opening droid 2 bootstrapper, click on bootstrap recovery, click on ok at the success prompt, click on reboot recovery. only way to move past this is to pull the battery then it will reboot no problem into stock 2.3.5. if i hold power and hard home key it will go into stock recovery every time but still no CWM recovery. I have no idea why this is everyone else seems to have no problem getting into CWM.
I don't remember anything special, needed for the MX
which D2 Bootstrap, the one from market?
I would remove bootstrap app from menu>settings>applications>Manage applications>Droid 2 bootstrap tap force stop then uninstall
using a file manager/root browser with root access go to
/preinstall/recovery select recovery.zip rename recovery.zip.bak
then install the Modified Droid 2/X Bootstrapper, or Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap
