A friend noticed that he was able to get into clockwork without specifically choosing to. As we both have a DroidX i decided to try the same thing.
What i noticed was that If the phone was powered off, then plugged in, then powered on after the "charging" indicator came up it would boot the phone into clockwork.
Anyone else seeing this? anyone with a phone thats in a bricked state (that has clockwork installed) able to try this?
We are currently running 2.3.340 with RubiX Focused 1.9.5 themed and clockwork 2.5.0.7
Yes that is how mine works. It happens after my phone dies completely and I have to start charging from a fully dead battery.
It is also after the charging indicator is on first.
Just go to bootstrap and tap "bootstrap recovery" but dont reboot. No more CM at bootup
Phone was rooted with .596 (2.3) and working perfectly for weeks. Gave to my daughter who lets the battery run out completely yesterday.
Now:
Trying to go into recovery = android dude with triangle exclamation point
Trying to boot normally = motorola sign, droid sign, animation starts, phone vibrates once like normal, notification lights once like normal, animation slows down, screen goes black, phone completely unresponsive, have to pull battery to retry
Trying to plug it into computer = screen turns on showing "no service", is in airplane mode, can't use touchscreen to unlock, screen goes black, can't get it to come back on....Can access the SD card
Any ideas how to fix this?
Looks like you need to sbf
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
yup sbf...
Sent from my DROIDX using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
got into bootloader was 30.04 so I used the 2.3.34 system only .sbf file. everything said it worked ok, got to where RSDlite said to manually power up phone. Stuck at Red motorola Circle. Tried to go into recovery, get to the android and ! again. Try to hit search key so I can do a wipe as is suggested in these circumstances and nothing happens...just sits there...Multiple attempts at both still stock on Motorola or android/!
ideas now?? thanks for the help btw
EDIT: Got it, Did SBF with full version instead of the system only and that made recovery work, did the wipe/reset and all is working again
thanks all
Nice, was about to say a full sbf is what you need
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
Hi everyone, I have a BIG problem..
I have a Milestone X (cdma Alltel)
I installed the latest android for it, 2.3.5. And well, Wanted to downgrade. Knew it wasn't possible, But I wanted to try. Anyway
I finally got ClockworkMod 5 i think is the verison, (I use Rom Manager and since Milestone X isn't in the list to Flash CWM with, I chose Droid X (2nd Int.) )and got CWM to boot on it.. But the SD card never would mount and it wouldn't mount the /cache, /system, basically everything wasn't working/mounting and so I wasn't able to do anything. I try Partitioning the SD card with CWM and it said it did (put into computer, nothing changed on the sd card..) But that didn't do anything. So I Clicked the "Shut Down" button that CWM offered and it shut down. Well... Now it won't boot at all back up, Nor will it show a light when I plug it into the wall to charge. When I plug it into the computer, and says Installing Driver for "OMAP 3630" and then about 3 secs it says "Device unplugged" with the X beside it saying that it didn't installed the driver.. So It won't do anything right now.. No Logo Boot, No Bootloader, No Recovery.. Zip.. So what Can I do?! I need to fix this cause it's my mothers phone, And... She isn't happy.
Thanks for the help you can offer!
UPDATE: Here is a picture I found on the internet that Looked just like mine, It was the Blue CWM and I wasn't just Verison 5.0.0.0,, There were like 1s or 2s in it. So I think this is the same verison I had that is in the pic.

I have to do a Link, Cause the Photo is too big to post..
Defy sick please render aid!
Had CM7 but wanted to try CM9, easy enough clear, format, flash poof -
Installed cm9 nightly and gaps, everything worked just fine and fluffy. I have done this a few times before, but...
Installed the Motoizer App- still all good
Then I decided to install the Motoizer optimizer pack it said it was going to reboot, and it did. But now it does not make it past the cm9 boot animation screen, the animation just runs and runs… (not very exciting or useful, but it is cool looking)
Pulled battery after waiting a long time, power+down yields the little droid and the triangle with the exclamation point. If I press the middle of the vol up/down (both) then get the recovery utility. Not a lot of options here, I can install a update.zip, factory reset (clears/formate) or wipe cache partition.
Oh and PS, yes I have googled, searched and waived a dead chicken over my sick Defy…so any suggestions?
Thanks,
Just a guy with a sick Defy…
u don't come into bootmenu? only stock recovery?
ur can do a lot of things.
flash the found stock recovery that flash every update, original or not.
or u flash a modified sbf with integrated CM9 or CM10.
all that found in xda
Jelly powered.Defy
Yeah, I saw many posts, they all lead down the sbf road, I was hoping I could fix it with out sbf-ing it, but that is what I ended (I am in a bit of a time crunch right now) up doing, dang, Oh well, no biggie. The phone lives, not sure what happened with motomeiser though, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Well now I have a copy of RSD Lite, which I did not want to ever have to own... If CM9 pans out I will likely stop there and go static since I have too much other stuff to get done.
Thanks anyway.
Enjoy - Darknetone
if u use this -» http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787541 recovery that only rewrite the stock recovery, and if ur re-signed ur CM9 zip u can flash it over and nothing from ur data is gone if I'm right.

Can you help me please?
I successfully installed framaroot. Then I installed 2ndInit. Green led: I reboot. No blue led. After a couple of reboots, pressing vol- brings me to the little droid and exclamation mark screen. I can't do nothin but remove the battery.
What can I do? I was going to flash twrp and then slimkat. Android is 2.1.
EDIT: In case I follow the RSD suggestion: does this replace the twrp step? Can I install slimkat afterwards?
vipervault - you shouldn't need to flash an sbf if your phone boot up fine, only if it's in a boot loop (red moto logo)
It just sounds like sndinit didn't install properly.
Verify you properly rooted your device: f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=super&fdid=com.abcdjdj.rootverifier
If that checks positive, install an updated su binary: f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=super&fdid=com.koushikdutta.superuser
Then try installing sndinit again, make sure you have the latest version, 2.3.

Thanks @danish1984. 2.3 is the latest version of what? I wrote I have android 2.1; your f-droid link points to com.koushikdutta.superuser 1.0.3.0.
For everybody who doesn't see the blue led: 2ndInit installation did not work. Install it manually as per this thread.
Some notes I've just made a few moments ago.
I was on Quarx CM9 ICS 4.0.4, and so decided to re-live how I installed 2ndInit as I had a few problems.
(and wanted to make log of what I did a day or two ago, only bought 2nd hand Defy a few weeks back, £8.00 UK).
Below I flash original full SBF file, to get back to Eclair v2.1-update1. (Had only previously flashed Fixed SBF's, ie minus CG 31 and 39)
I got my Motorola Defy MB525 (Green Lens), retail UK, Eclair v2.1-update1 stock,
JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P026_A007_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
from:- https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Defy (MB525)/Stock/
MD5: b42848509d1fb19d746185b79b8e1816 (Did Google search on the MD5 and check matches with droid-developers.org MD5).
(Google HashCheck or HashMyFiles).
With fully Charged defy,
Power down defy, and with Volume+ held, press power key (shows "BootLoader 9.10, Battery OK etc").
Run RSD Lite, v5.6.
Select The .gz file in RSD Lite Filename box, will ask "It may take a while to uncompress, Continue ?",
Select "Uncompress Only" (it will be done, you could have used Winzip or Winrar to extract yourself instead, and chose the extracted sbf).
Connect Defy to USB, it should show "Connected" status in RSD Lite.
Click on the "Connected" line of text to reveal a little more info.
Click "Start", defy will show "SW Update in Progress".
Eventually (after several minutes) RSD will show "Phone[0000]: Phone is being rebooted".
Unfortunately, after some time it looked to RSD as if phone was not rebooting, and suggested Reboot manually.
This I tried multiple times but was in boot loop with MotoBlur animation and eventually black screen and repeating.
I pulled battery, reinsterted battery and attempted manual boot again, no joy, boot looping.
I pulled battery, holding volume down, and power on, and triangle with Exclamation mark (!).
I tapped repeatedly on bottom RHS corner of display and got the "Android System Recovery (2e)"
(some people say to hold down both volume up and down simultaneously, but my works best with bottom RHS corner taps).
Ignore the "E:Can't Open /cache/recovery/command" in yellow on bottom of display.
Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", tap OK on bottom left hand side of display (power button does nothing for me within
the system recovery).
After Factory wipe, select "Wipe Cache partition", and tap OK again.
Select "Reboot system now", and OK again.
We were back in business with a properley booting Eclair 2.1-update1 (was a bit tense for a while)
(Perhaps I should have done factory reset, cache wipe before RSD lite flashing).
In new flashed Eclair,
Settings/Sound & Display, select "Screen Timeout"=10 minutes.
Settings/Applications, tick "Unknown Sources".
Settings/Applications/Development, tick "USB Debugging".
File Manager app, I selected Framearoot v1.5.2 (others were tried but caused problems).
Choose "Install SuperUser" (NOT "Install SuperSu").
Hit "Gimli" exploit text, should show "Success", Reboot just for the hell of it.
File Manager, Install, SndInitDefy v1.4, and click "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button. (tried others, only this version worked for me)
SuperUser will pop up twice asking to Allow 2ndInit root premissions, grant the request each time.
Light will turn Green. (And read instructions).
Settings/Applications/Development, UN-TICK "USB Debugging", ie turn it OFF.
Reboot, it will auto jump into Custom recovery when Blue light comes on (dont press anything to get there).
With "Boot" selected, press Power key.
With "Set Default" selected, press Power key.
Move cursor up to "2nd boot" selected,, press Power key.
"Go Back", selected,, press Power key.
"Reboot system", selected,, press Power key.
Let it Reboot without pressing Volume-down when blue light comes on, and then reboot again a second time, for good measure
One last time, roboot, but this time when Blue light comes on press Volumn-down botton, and there you are custom recovery.
You will see "Android Bootmenu (v0.6.1)".
I originally had problems trying to "Install zip from SDCard", as it could not find the sdcard, I eventually figured out
that maybe because I had deleted sdcard stuff from previous android installation and that it did not like it.
So, I copied my stuff from sdcard to hard drive, and within settings/storage, formatted sdcard, after that I had no
problems at all. (just a lot of files to copy back to newly formatted sdcard).
Everything hunky dory.
EDIT:
ALL software mentioned above was present on XDA at time of writing, lots of defy links are broken here.
I apologize in advance for my English. I have a problem with my Motorola Milestone 2. After installing CM7 something went wrong. When I start the phone, it shows up for a few seconds the red motorola logo and disappears (there is a black screen). I can not go into recovery. I can't charge battery. Can anyone help me?

If you see the red moto logo, you are on the new gb kernel.
To install cm7 Froyo Kernel based, you need to do a downgrade method. Read this:
