Milestone X - C-Spire - ClockworkMod & rooted 2.3.5?

Which implementation for "Flash ClockworkModRecovery" should I use with rooted GB 2.3.5, Milestone X, C-Spire (Cellular South)?
Droid X or Droid 2?
Thanks.

pretty sure that it is droid 2 droid x

Nothing (none of the options w/ uninstall and wiping of the Clockwork Folder) worked, then I got "DROID X Bootstrapper" from a MegaDownload or something similar
and
made my first backup. Great!
Now to tackle Custom ROMS and pitfalls. I still need to efficiently get to SBF my phone back to FROYO for security.

Definitely DROID X Bootstrapper from market......worth the money impo..

on gingerbread with the x... droid 2 bootstrap actually works better... so when ya buy one to support the dev... get droid 2 bootstrap... so you can keep usb debugging enabled...

Good to know Nemo.... Wait a minute, hell, I'm using debugging right now with the first 1.....???? What's up with that?

check the link in my signature below. there is a link to Doomlord's zergrush root.

I tried the zergrush root but my phone would not down load. It kept saying that the down load was unsuccessful or that it failed. My phone was rooted before but when I did the update it messed up. Help. Im new to all this and still trying to learn.

That isn't an application you use on your phone...
And .zips won't download with the stock browser, is your problem.
Download it to your PC and run it with your phone plugged in.

Bricked Droid 2

I was rooted and flashed the MIUI rom. Was not working and I turned off my Droid 2. It went directly to
Bootloader
D2.37
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Now I'm stuck in bootloader and that's as far as I can get my phone. I've flashed the droid 2 sbf .621 and had no luck. How can I get it back up and running? I've looked up everything!
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED

I'm not sure I understand...
I tried ezSBF but that is how I rooted my phone in the first place.
I'm stuck in bootloader with the errors I showed above. I can only turn it off and on to bootloader.

read how to use rsd lite
http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome
use 2.3.4 .sbf at 1kds.tk
moto drivers and rsd lite, in my list
phone will not charge in that state, if battery gets too low, you can't do anything
edit: the ezSBF has 2 options
recovery/sbf and rooting
if you don't have those 2, you don't have
2.3.4 ezSBF, you have 2.3.4 root only

Alright, Thank you. That worked! :good:
Would there happen to be one of those for droid r2d2?
That's what my phone actually is, it was just rooted as droid 2.
It says my battery is invalid and I need an original Motorola battery, but I'm using the original.

did you use stripped usb wires, to charge or bypass battery,
if so you likely damaged battery and/or phone
if you didn't, battery may not be connected correct
turn off phone, pull battery, putt back, check connections, for corrosion or other matter
or battery may be bad, get a new one

if you want r2d2 theme, you will have to use
rsd lite, MOTOROLA DEVICE(drivers) MANAGER and r2d2 .sbf 1FF-p2a_droid2_r2d2_cdma_droid2_r2d2-user-2.3.4-4.5.1_57_DR4-52-120118-release-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf

Yeah, I have a warranty, so once I put droid r2d2 back on it, I'm going to get a new one.
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

Do you know of a D2G ezsbf and root for .629 that isn't from Rapidshare? Rapidshare is down and I cannot download it from there...
Thank you.

629 is for d2g, do you have one of those too? will not work on r2d2

The OMG I DID IT Droid X .621 Seemingly Impossible Unbrick/SBF - With Solution!

Ok, I know I'm not known around here, but I just had to share my experience with you folks as a huge THANK YOU not just to XDA, but every damn Android Moto user out there.
I was given a DROID X that failed during the 621 update about a year from today. I followed every tutorial, every nuance, every little GD EFFING possible thing I could find and think of. There is A TON of talk about what I was trying to accomplish. Some guys just gave up and took the phone back to Verizon. I didn't have that option! I also had to do the stripped USB cable mod because the battery was dead AND fried.
What I discovered was that NEITHER 64bit OS I tried would flash the phone correctly.
Ubuntu 64bit? No go, even though the sbf_flash script reported no problems.
Windows 7 64bit? No go. RSD Lite kept giving me the "Error sending RAM download for bootloader. Device API Error 0xBLAHBLAHEXADECIMAL (they were different HEX errors every time).
Motorola cable? Probably helped in the end, but wasn't the magic solution.
I couldn't find a 1KDS .621 bootable Linux Live flasher (does one even exist?), so I just went with the manual method using 1FF-p3a_shadow_cdma_shadow-user-2.3.4-4.5.1_57_DX8-51-120111-test-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf on native Ubuntu as well as in a virtual machine. NO DICE.
FINALLY, after what must have been over two dozen attempts, with the DX booting straight into the 30.04 bootloader (with no errors, mind you), I decide to break out my ancient Dell Inspiron from 2003, still running XP. Installed RSD Lite 4.8 and the Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.2.0_32bit driver. Used the exact same methods as before on the other systems and IT WORKED!
Additionally, I did have the SBF in the root of C:\, whether that helped or not I dunno.
Fire away with any questions and I will answer to the best of my ability.
Again, thank you thank you thank you to everyone out there who unknowingly helped me along the way. Keep up the superb unpaid work!

glad you got it working

Came here to post this.

Actually, sd_shadow, that's what I ended up using for rooting AFTER I got 621 flashed using my OP method.
I can't remember how many times I've researched something to death, only to do that thing, then discover afterward that there's a new and improved way of doing it. Google just isn't that smart, but then again, that's not saying much for me either lol.
I had to reflash 621 after an unsuccessful attempt at just rooting using the ezSBF root-only ISO. I believe it was because I forgot to clear my cache beforehand. The root process hung at 18.8% while flashing CG66. I was able to repeat the process described in my OP then wipe data/cache, then root using the ezSBF method.
I must say that ezSBF is pretty dang slick! It was the 2nd most easy rooting process after Jailbreaking an iDevice, which I barely consider "tech bonerworthy". lol
@Superdefcon5: WTF? Go figure!
EDIT: Supplement to my OP. I forgot to mention that I used 3 different PCs running Win7 64bit or Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. Two desktops (Win7 and Ubuntu) and one laptop (Win7). I also tried Windows XP in a VM (Win7 64bit host) using RSD Lite.

I have also used rsd lite many times with win 7 64bit, and I worked fine
but not all pc all equal, and I'm not saying better, just different hardware and software
that's why 1kds created ezSBF

[Q] DROID X- Cannot get custom recovery- missing something

As the title implies I'm missing something.
I've read a lot of threads. My end goal is to get cyanogenmod onto my wife's droid X. I'm not stuck on cyanogenmod, so if there's a better (lightweight preferably) ROM, I'm open to that.. At the moment,it doesnt matter because I cant get into the custom recovery right now to install anything. As you know, the built in recovery wont authenticate anything, thus no ROM can currently be installed.
As far as the getting the custom recovery installed, currently I've tried everything I see in directions for the clockwork mod custom recovery instructions and everything else I can think of, and still nothing.
Someone will want to know if I've gotten root access. Yes (at least to the best of my knowledge). I followed this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHVCOkFMYAE
Similar to in the video, where the user toggles through the screen that ensures root access, my phone did that as well.
Three programs are given super user privledges, currently: Superuser, Rom Manager, and Droid X Boostrapper. The log indicates that they are in fact being given root access.
I also tried following this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19GGAeKEBrs
to get clockworkmod custom recovery installed. Have no idea why this didnt work.
As you can tell, I've used bootstrapper and Rom Manager. I cant boot into a custom recovery, even through using the boostrapper program. So, it looks like I'm missing something, but hoping someone can help me solve the mystery.
Thanks!

[Q] Motorola Droid X2 Rooting Problem

I am trying to root this phone for a friend. I have tried Motorola One Click and Pete's Motorola Root Tools and both didn't work. I also tried the GingerBreak app and it didnt work either. Any help would be appreciated. Here are the phone's specs (and I am putting it all because I dont know what is and what isn't pertinent info):
System Version: 45.621.10.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Model number: DROIDX
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: BP_C_01.09.15P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g3e80c7a [email protected] #1
Build number 4.5.1_57_DX9-10
ERI version: 5
PRL version: 53342
And I am sorry in advance if I am just stupid with any of this. I do have experience rooting because I have rooted the original Droid.

awesome, this worked within a few seconds
now i am trying to update it to ice cream sandwich, i have searched Google and attempted a few different ones, and every time it goes to Verify update package, it fails and says failed to verify whole-file signature and signature verification failed, then installation aborted.
http://www.android.gs/update-motorola-droid-x2-cm9/
those are the steps and files i am taking, except the step to get it into bootloader is actually needing to be getting into recovery, bootloader is wanting me to connect by USB and the steps dont actually give an instruction on what to do through USB to flash anything
so i get into Android system recovery
i wipe data/factory reset
i then wipe cache partition
then apply update from sdcard, then choose the one downloaded from above site, and i get the above error message, this is actually farthest ive got than the other ones ive tried, for example, i tried the Bootstrap Recovery and it never did anything, it rebooted to the Motorola logo and nothing ever happened
please assist, i am desperate

I have a Droid X on 2.3.3/4.5.602 that I am rooting. I was going to upgrade first to 2.3.4/4.5.621 but I read your warning "*****Do not use the 4.5.621 SBF file unless you took the OTA update, you won't be able to use any other SBF after updating or flashing to .621*****"
1. Is this warning still current? ie. I will not be able to downgrade to 2.3.3. tomorrow.
2. Should I care? ie 2.3.4/4.5.621 is a good upgrade, easily rooted, so I have no need to look back or all newer stable ROMs are based on 621.
3. If you don't recommend SBF to 621, is there a way to get the OTA is nolonger on Verizon?
4. Should I at least upgrade to 2.3.3/605
I have failed to root using Framaroot 1.9.1 on 2.3.3/602. Is Framaroot not for this version?

OTA update can be done manually, but they are incremental, you will have to install 605 ota then 621 ota, but once on 621 you still can not downgrade
