hey everyone, sorry if the questions may seem stupid, but im new to motorola phones.
my friend asked me to see if i could fix his droid x which is stuck on the "M" logo. ive tried SPFing but that requires a data wipe and for some reason, i just cannot get into recovery (holding home + power, releasing power while holding home). the phone remains stuck on the "M" logo. bootloader works and SPFing work but without recovery, i cannot wipe it. my question is, is there a way to wipe from bootloader? and a google search showed there was no fastboot for motorola phones so im out of luck there.
Hold Home first, and then Power. Keep them both pressed til you get to the screen with Andy the Android.

Holding Home + Volume Down and pressing power brings you into the stock recovery.
I was told Holding Power + Home get Andy Android then press Volume Up + Down...that is how I get the recovery screen...but I'm having the same issues. I'm not getting passed the M logo. I don't know how or What to SBF...what file would I use to try and get out of Logo screen? Is there a link to it?
.SBF is a file use to restore firmware on a phone with rsd lite or the all in one ezSBF
Look for the DX ezSBF link in my list
sd_shadow's list of links for Droid FAQs, SBF, Rooting, ROMs.... https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Goawxdx_UBF4Y8lqzHYWf8Ha3yUcRK4faq0UWIlXLWA/edit
If your phone was on 2.3.4/4.5.621
You can only use 4.5.621 .sbf
Other wise use 4.5.602

I have a rooted Droid X and was running Rubix 1.9.7 - yesterday i went to GB but had an issue where the buttons (home, menu, back n search) stayed lit. I tried to revert back to my backup through the D2 bootstrap recovery. It showed me the the recovery is complete and on selecting the Reboot system it was stuck at the M logo. I tried battery pulls but it did not help.
i tried going into recovery using power+home button. the screen with triangle and exclamation mark shows up but pressing the search button does nothing.
I tried the power+volume down+Camera button.. it takes me to the Bootloader 30.04 screen and I am not sure what can be done from there.
also i tried connecting the device to my computer and opening adb when the phone was each of the screens (M logo, recovery logo, Bootloader) but on doing the adb devices command it does not list my device.
when i connect to power in a switched off state the battery 100% shows up.
I am noob so i am hoping someone more qualified can give me some guidance.

You going to have to SBF in rsd lite back to 2.2.340 and re-root then you can re-install bootstrap and get your backup that way because you can't flash back to an old rom once on gingerbread because the kernel has changed
Hanone - any idea of if there is a list of steps that I can follow to get to the SBF in Rsd lite ?
Youtube has a few videos with step by step directions that makes it really simple

Do a Google search for roooolers root guide. All things root for the x.

or look at the stickied post in this general section from sysadmin, it also covers all things x.
I can't get the sbf boot screen, and hitting the search button if I boot from power and X doesn't work.

Pull the battery, plug the phone into the computer and it should automatically go into bootloader mode so you can sbf

Just bought a droid x off someone. Called verizon and the IMEI/ESN/WHATEVER is clean. So after she finished showing me that everything on the phone works and I bought it. So my wife played with it a bit on the way home and somehow locked it up. Now it wants the original owner to log in with her google account before letting me use the phone. After a week of trying to get ahold of this girl with no response, I have a problem. What can I do to reset the phone? Home + power brings me to the triangle/droid/! screen. I assume that means recovery isn't installed. Can someone explain if I need to use SBF/How to use SBF/What to flash?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Is there a DX IRC you guys use?
You do need to SBF. Google for instructions; there's tons of videos and guides to help you.

Okay, so I have the 30.04 Bootloader. I tried flashing the 2.3.340 FULL SBF, and RSD Lite showed the flash passed. It didn't and nothing has changed. Comments, Spock?
Also tried the 2.3.34 SYSTEM ONLY SBF. Didn't do anything. It shows the flash as completing correctly, but I boot it up and nothing has changed.

Ehh, try SBFing again, and wipe data from recovery.
To enter recovery press home and power (to get the the screen with the Android and the exclamation mark), then press both volume buttons.

So Home+Power, release both when I see the Android/Exclamation mark, then hold both volume buttons?
Because for some reason I can't get past the Android/Exclamation mark. I don't think it has recovery installed.
EDIT: The search button did it for me.

My brother tried to SBF stock froyo rom over Liberty. When the battery went dead he brought the phone to me. Changed batteries and SBF to the stock froyo rom he used. Phone is caught in boot loop. Holding Home and powering on only brings up motorolla splash and proceeds to boot loop. I have tried flashing every SBF for this Verizon but it seems that the recovery was deleted when he tried to original install and the battery died. The roms SBF fine but start a boot loop. I have pulled the battery holding home+power but the droid will not go into the recovery. CWM also does not boot so I assume it was deleted when he did the first SBF. Wondering if there is a way to SBF the Recovery Partition since all I can get to is the bootloader. 30.04. Any suggestions?
Depending on the SBF you flashed, you should be able to hold home and power (from a completely powered off state) and get the android with the triangle.
From there you will have to either press search (Froyo) or both volume buttons (Gingerbread).

That is the problem. Regardless of which SBF I flash Home+Power just hangs Moto Logo and eventually starts the boot loop. It's almost as if the Recovery is not longer accessible.
Continue to hold both buttons even when it is on the Motorola logo.
Also, try reSBFing with .602 in Linux. For a nice clean start.

Holding the buttons from a powered down phone it sits on M logo for about 8 seconds then starts the boot loop. This is with me Holding both Power and Home, Holding power and home and releasing power at logo. The only key on command that seems to work is the Bootloader.
Ill DL the 602 and Nix-SBF it and report back. Thanks.

Try doing the FULL .340 SBF and then when that finishes do the SYSTEM ONLY SBF. See if that does anything
Tried 604, 340 and 340 system. I SBF'd all form linux starting with 602. Rebooted holding home and power and after a few seconds it went straight into boot loop again. Same with the .304 and .304 overwritten with system files. I flashed 304 then immediately flashed the 304 system only. Still same symptoms. I ask my brother and he said the phone and all the buttons were working when he tried restoring it to factory so broken Home key is not the answer. I am fairly sure if there were another way to push a Wipe/reset to the phone it would stop looping and boot into any flavor firmware. You would think it would be easy to run a wipe/reset command from bootloader. Any more suggestions because i'm about to give up on this beast.
From what I can tell, every possible recovery option has been exhausted.

So it is Officially Bricked. Oh well.
They're almost never bricked. Did you try SBFing from the bootloader?
Boot into bootloader mode by holding down Volume Down, the Camera & the Power buttons.

Push and hold x+power until menu appears. Then push volume up and down at the same time
