I used to have CM7 RC1 beta on my Droid X. Today I tried to flash AOKP from this topic:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/aokp/45623-rom-aokp-unofficial.html
and I can't get past the Moto logo. The exact steps I too were:
Boot into CWM recovery with Droid 2 Bootstrapper
Download rom zip from below and the latest official Gapps from goo.im/gapps
Boot into Clockwork Recovery
Wipe Data/Factory Reset (format system as well if on a rom with bootmenu)
Flash the rom zip then flash Gapps in the same recovery session
Reboot and enjoy AOKP
Where you messed up was using Bootstrapper to get to recovery. You are now "bricked" but it can be fixed. Bootstrapper is needed after initially rooting to hijack the recovery so that CWM can be installed. After that it is not needed on 2nd init ROMs. To access CWM you use the Power Menu and then choose Reboot>Recovery.
Now on to fixing your phone. Do you know how to perform a SBF? That's what its going to take to get it back.

Yes I can SBF. So I SBF, reinstall clockworkmod via the Bootstrapper, then install AOKP right?
Yep. SBF, root, install D2 Bootstrapper, install ROM Manager.
Open and run Bootstrap, open ROM Manager and update to latest CWM. Then in ROM Manager reboot recovery and flash away.

hi
i have a green lens defy.
i have already little experience on flashing cyanogen mod 7 and mod 9 and mod 10.
previously i have rooted stock, installed 2ndint and flashed cm7 over the stock like this..
bootmenu>recovery>custom recovery> factory reset>install zip>wipe cache>wipe dalvik cache>reboot.
i did not take the "backup all"(what u call it as NANDROID backup, isn't it?) of stock rom....ooops.
i did the same procedure to install cm9 and cm10..but this time i took backup of cm7 during cm9 installation and cm9 during cm10 intallation.
i did this all in custom recovery only.
In the bootmenu there were other options called stock recovery and stable recovery along with custom recovery.
and within custom recovery there was motorola recovery in advanced option.. But non of them brought the stock rom back on my device.
always shows exclamation in triangle and a androbot.
So i have finally tried the RSDlite and flashed my stock sbf.
AND NOW i am again on my way to install cm10 for defy. and this time with no mistakes....Please help me to do this.
0.why are the options stock recovery and motorola recovery not working....?what are they actually..when to enter/click that recoveries??
1.How do i take backup of stock so that i can go back at anytime?
2.is backing up stock rom also done through custom recovery and backup all? if that so then why are stock recovery and stable recovery and motorola recovery options present there?
3.did i install correctly first time?
Thanks for all your answers,

Yes, you are very confused! :silly: You know, when you install a custom rom it totally replaces your stock rom. The stock recovery is not there to recover your stock rom/restore it (where would it restore it from?? I'll have to disappoint you, but your phone is not magic!). The stock recovery can only wipe user data and install updates by Motorola onto an already existing system! You will never be able to restore your system to its original state if you don't have a backup or some idea what retail version you were on. But you'll definitely find a similar sbf over at droid developers or Walter's sbf thread.
When you see the exclamation mark with the cute green guy, you have to press vol+ and vol- together to reveal the stock recovery.
Motorola recovery = stock recovery = the recovery made by Motorola. You can acces it buy pressing vol- while powering up, through bootmenu>recovery>stock/motorola recovery or bootmenu>recovery>custom/stable recovery>advanced>motorola recovery
Please help me! I am stuck at the "cyanogen Mod 7" boot on the droid pro.
Here is what I did:
1: I rooted and installed cm7 from vanilla_lvl
2: I installed droid 2 bootstrap
3: I clicked recovery.
Now it won't move!
Update: I fixed it by sbfing back to 4.6.8 in flash bootloader, then updated to 4.7.3 using stock recovery, then I cleared everything using stock recovery.
Just finished installing CM9 on my friend's Droid X and apparently bricked it during an attempt to install CWM Touch (from apk file). For some reason, it booted to the original CWM and when I tried to reboot it just stuck at the Motorola logo. I booted it in recovery mode and wiped data/cache as suggested on other forums but it still hangs at the logo. The only possible option I can see at this point is to "apply update from sdcard" but it gives signature verification errors for every ROM I throw at it.
Managed to revive it by flashing the .621 SBF and installed CM9, this time leaving CWM alone. Probably won't ever need to go into recovery mode ever again unless development picks up for the Droid X, but if anyone knows of a compatible CWM Touch and how to install without semi-bricking the phone, please let me know.
So far, I haven't seen one. Tomsgt from rootjunky.com has some videos out there to help you.

While starting to upgrade from CM10 to CM10.2/10.3 on MB526, I flashed TWRP zip file downloaded from Team-win website.
steps:
1) downloaded recovery and copied to SDcard.
2) reboot into custom recovery (CWM)
3) Flash zip of TWRP recovery
Since than, I am getting black screen after clicking on custom recovery from Bootmenu.
Device is working fine,
but with no custom recovery, my hands are tied...
can't restore backup, can't flash rom or do anything..
tried installing zip from stock recovery.. Installation aborted appears
Is there any solution to get recovery working without starting from scratch (flashing SPF and 2ndinit, and so on.... )

I think stock recovery can't help you now, you should start from scratch...
It isn't so hard, just takes time...
From CM10 to CM10.2, you don't need to change recovery, just install it. From CM10.2 to CM11 you should install update-recovery.zip, reboot, install CM11 + GApps.
Hope it helps... :highfive:

Hi,
I installed this SBF using RSDLite: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_ND_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTNORD_P011_A013_Service1FF.sbf.gz, (GB Nordic SBF).
Then installed Framaroot 1.4.1, rooted the phone using Gimli exploit, said root successful.
Then installed 2ndInit 2.4, said install successful.
Rebooted two times, went to custom recovery, everything seemed ok. Wiped data/cache/system using AromaWiper.
Then installed the latest fixed CM7 (cm-7-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed.zip).
Upon reboot, the phone is stuck in bootloop. I'm still able to enter the custom recovery, so I guess 2ndinit worked, but installing the aforementioned CM7 results in bootloop.
I tried scanning through the All-in-One guide here, but couldn't really pinpoint what exactly is my problem. Could someone help, what would be the steps to take to get my phone running CM7? I'm able to flash SBF and at least seemingly flash zips via custom recovery, but I suspect there is something wrong in there since the flashed zips don't seem to work.
EDIT: If anyone can help? Is it that 2ndinit was installed badly? Reinstall from SBF, re-root, pay more attention to 2ndinit install?
In the All-in-One guide I find some problems with 2ndInit and talk about GoAPK SystemRecovery? Would that help?
