Hi guys!
I have Droid Pro Verizon American.
I have put CM7 V8 by VanillaLVL and then Cm7 V9 by vanillaLVL.
After putting this versions, and then installing Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap from app store, and trying to Reboot to Recovery i cannot load to the OS.
I have tried to restore to factory settings, but nothing - it just freeze with load screen with M letter - it's doesn't go further.
I have sbf'ed it back, then rooted, then put the CM7 again two times, and every time is the same bug - i cannot reboot to recovery with Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap installed over the CM7. Does anybody have the same problem? It works ok on rooted stock, but not on CM7.
Do you know how to resolve it? Maybe there is other software for clockworkmod instead of Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap for CM7?
Anyone?
Any ideas, guys? Really it's not simple bug, it would be good to know what is happening?
Maybe somebody could give some tips how to install clockworkmod manually? without application? I cannot find this info on the internet, everybody says to use rom manager or droid 2 bootstrap.
I believe you just cannot install bootstrap over cm7. So just try:
1. Root
2. Bootstrap
3. Cm7
4. Gapps
5. ????
6. Profit

I actually don't understand what you mean. I already have cm7 installed on my phone. The problem was that I used Droid 2 Bootstrap on cm7. I actually found the solution, i didn't know that vanillaLVL cm7 has custom bootloader with cwm inside, for this you just need:
sorry yor are right. i was my fault. i found it.
In order to get in to recovery: press power for 3 seconds. ->chose reboot -> chose bootloader -> reboot and wait for the LED to flash BLUE and then PRESS volume down button when its BLUE. it wil take to BOOT MENU. -> select RECOVERY -> then CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.

I'm trying to make a nandroid backup so I can mess with my droid 2 but having issues...
The phone is rooted.
Have Installed: Rom Manager and Droid 2 Bootstrapper - both 'green' in superuser permissions.
When I try to boot into recovery mode using Rom Manager (trying to make a backup) or the D2 Bootstrapper the phone just boots up as it normally would. I can get into the default recovery mode by using the 'X' and 'PWR' key combo but that's not what I need.
Have tried renaming these files as suggested here in another thread and reflashing clockworkmod but that didn't work.
EDIT: can't link so these are the two files:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Any ideas?
Meh... nvm - I figured it out.
Help!
Hey, my friend has the SAME EXACT issue. what did you do to fix it?
Everyone says to reinstall clockwork, but that doesn't fix it.

I've never used ROM manager because koush's D2 bootstrap does everything you need. But if you don't get clockwork from the application make sure you are properly rooted and you press "bootstrap recovery" and get the "success" box before you press "reboot recovery".

My friend is using Rom manager. He installed CWM via rom manager. Do you think it is safe for him to get "Koush's D2 bootstrap" and re-install CWM that way? Will that break anything?
PS: I use Amon_Ra's recovery on my nexus one. I do all my installations via ADB but he is not comfortable using ADB. I'm just trying to get him into a stable custom recovery because ever since he installed clockwork (which is not working) he says the phone is really slow.

I don't know installing koush's bootstrap will do but the D2 has to be bootstrapped because it's locked down and normal Clockwork Mod won't work because of it. If it doesn't work and his phone isn't working he can just SBF with the 2.3.2 version (he probably has the update already) he can do it in linux or windows (linux is easier) and it will put him back to stock so he can install koush's bootstrap from the market after re-rooting it.
If he want's he can back up his contacts and applications with google and data with titanium backup.
You can PM me if you have any questions about the process.
Here's my tool for flashing sbf's in linux on any computer. It's got a lot of useful info about flashing and problems at the bottom read it even if you flash in windows.
I used the windows one click root method and I have root, however my droid 2 will not boot to CW recovery from ROM Manager.
I have scanned and did not see an answer..
Thanks for all of your hard work!

You need to download bootstrap recovery to boot into recovery
The D2 has a locked bootloader (thanks efuse) which prevents us from installing a custom recover. The bootstrap recovery is the only way to get to clockwork (I don't really know how it works cause im not a dev, but it does so thats all i need! lol).
So, as stated above, just download the bootstrap recovery, install and run it, hit bootstrap recovery (will be prompted to give superuser) and wait till it says success (should just be a few seconds), then hit reboot recovery and flash away!
Note* I believe you only have to hit bootstrap recovery once, then you can just hit reboot recovery when you need to flash. (I think after you flash a new rom you will have to hit bootstrap recovery again though but i could be wrong on that)
Thanks. Bootstrap worked great. Quick question though, how do you do custom ROMs?

Download the rom you want and put it on the sd card.
1: Boot into recovery via bootstrap.
2: Do a backup.
3: Now, go to the mount option and be sure data and cache are mounted.
4: Now wipe data and cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik and battery stats.
5: Go back and make sure everything is still mounted.
6: Go back to main menu and select install from sd card.
7. Select choose zip from sd card
8. Scroll down till you see your rom and select it then select yes. and wait for it to complete.
9. Reboot the phone and enjoy your new rom. (Booting the phone for the first time after flashing a new rom can take a few minutes so be patient.)

is there still anyone working on cracking the bootloader on the droid2.. droidx and milestones?
Cracking the bootloader seems unlikely. Unless a leak happens it's highly unlikely that a brute force method with crack it (order of magnitude is in years beyond the life of the universe).
aliasxerog is working on instead hijacking the boot process with a custom init that will hot swap a new kernel. In theory this should work just fine since the bootloader can load any kernel it wants and then hands off the rest of the boot process to init. What happens from there is out of Motorola's (and eFuse's) hands.
Can someone tell me why would Clockwork not function properly? My problem is that when i click on anything the screen goes blank. This is wen i use the volume keys. A fix for this is using the keyboard. besides this. I took a rom and renamed it update bcuz i am tryin to flash droid 2 to cricket. This is one of the steps. Rename a rom to update. The only thing this the recovery do is show a line that says "replacing clockwork recovery with clock work recovery" or something like that and then jus goes back to the main menu

Are you using the Clockwork Recovery provided in koush's bootstrap? or have you run koush's bootstrap at all?
If not then that's why. On the Droid 2 and newer Moto droids the bootloader has been locked so we have to overcome this by bootstrapping or hijacking the boot process to include clockwork recovery when we need it. koush's bootstrap does
this for us and includes clockwork recovery.
In ROM Manager, when I click install clockworkmod I get 3 options: Milestone, Droid X and Droid 2. Does the Droid 2 clockworkmod work with the Milestone 2? I haven't tried because I dont want to screw up my system.

Again, rom manager doesn't work with M2.
Take Droid2 bootstrapper to reboot in recovery.
Maybe you should search on forum before asking ...

Umm...searching "ROM Manager" only brings up some custom rom discussions.
I am talking about clockworkmod recovery!
Can i use the Droid 2 option to flash M2 recovery!!! is my question.
to have clockworkmod recovery use droid2 bootstrapper.
rom manager DON'T WORK ON M2
I could use rom manager to make backups AFTER I installed droid 2 bootstrapper
what for, with droid2 bootstrapper you boot in recovery and you make your backup...
I don't understand your use of rom manager
Since there's no milestone rom on rom manager it's not much use, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't work on milestone 2.
Really, don´t work in Milestone 2.
It works
I just installed it today on My Moto A953 !
You should follow this procedure:
1. Get Root access to your phone, if you have not done already ( I used z4root.1.3.0 - currently not available on the Market, so Google it )
2. Install, "Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap" from the market
3. Bootstrap your phone, (and may be check to see if recovery is working)
4. Install "ROM Manager" from the market.
5. Flash CWM Recovery as "Droid 2"
And thats it..
But, sadly we don't have much Custom ROMs available... at least not yet!
Hi, i have a milestone 2 with android 2.2.1, can i install this app
and change my recovery? it's safe? thanks i'm very rookie in
milestone 2 stuff!! sorry for my english!
If you have rooted already, you already lost your warranty.
And if you have not rooted yet- get yourself root access before you consider installing rom manager.
I have rooted and installed cwm in my A953; if that helps!

Yes i rooted my phone! lol jeje i'm going to try to install CWM! thanks!!
Milestone 2:
install and launch 'Droid 2 bootstrap'
install the bootstrap via hit 'Bootstrap Recovery' button;
then later anytime you want to go into ClockworkMod recovery,
launch the 'Droid 2 bootstrap' and hit 'reboot recovery' or launch rom manager and hit 'reboot recovery'
It is on 605 stock.
Installed Droid Wall, Rom manager.
I tried D2/X/X(2nd-Init) recovery images and NONE of them are working.
(Currently 5.0.2.0 is flashed - so it says).
Never mind. I did not know that one needs to run an reboot to recovery application in order to reboot to recovery due to locked bootstrap.
What? I'm having same problem.

newbie here but I mess up twice like this. For .605 stock you need to unstall Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap from the market.
