Boot loopin after sbf

I tried to sbf, it got done and rsd said phone has to be powered up manually. So i tried to turn it on and all it does is boot loop. My computer wont pick it up. Since its not rooted can i boot into recovery? What do i do?

Got it into bootloader and sbf'd again. Still boot loopin. What do I do? Someone please help me!!!

Wipe data and cache from the stock recovery.
1. Pull your battery.
2. Turn on your phone while holding the 'up' arrow on the keyboard
3. Hold until you are in stock recovery.
4. Press the magnifying glass on the keyboard to see the menu
5. Select data wipe and then cache wipe (using the volume buttons. or arrow keys and the camera or 'ok' button to select)
6. Then reboot system and you should be good to go.
Also how did you sbf?

You have to borrow somebody's charged battery. Or find a way to get yours charged because the phone won't charge without some software running.
Once you get a working battery try the steps I gave you to get into stock recovery if you would like/need more help with any of the steps just let me know.
(the D1's battery will work if you have a friend with a D1. I don't know about the DX though.)

Did you try to SBF while running a ROM? I think its best be rooted stock at least to SBF. I had problems SBFing if I wasn't stock.

ok, i got a battery. but when i try to use the up arrow and power button to get into recovery it just goes into bootloader. i sbf'd from fission 2.2.1. so yea, i was runnin a rom. ive never had so much trouble messin with a phone before. i know its not bricked but i am getting frustrated...
BOOM!!! Got it baby!! OK, so its x and power to boot into stock recovery. Worked like a charm! And on the bright side, i scored a D1 for 100. I needed a battery, buddy had a nearly perfect droid...hooked it up

No recovery + locked out password

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.

hey even i did flashed SBF just now .....i done
wipe data/cache
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
wipe bat stats
and after this flashed froyo 2.2.2 SBF .....

Dont worry!
Go to stock recovery(press and hold power+ vol up till the phone boots to stock recovery)
Then you will see an android with triangle. Press vol up and down simultaneously till menu comes. Wipe data and cache. Reboot.
Ps- even after phone shows bootlogo dont let go of power and vol up buttons.

& stock recovery? how can i get that now..bkoz my fone is already back to froyo..(stock rom) and meh cant install SndInitDefy for recovery..

"Switch phone off, press and hold volume-down button then switch phone on. When the android with the exclamation mark appears, you have to press both volume keys (for more info, check All-in-one Defy beginners guide)" Motorola Defy Wiki
Then press wipe data and cache, and everything should work

Thats why power+vol down. To boot into stocn recovery. Stock roms have stock recovery.

>first download stock sbf from here and then download download and open up rsd lite.
>then hold power+volume up and go into bootloader, plug in your phone and install the sbf.
>then when the phone starts up, pull battery out and wait.
>after inserting battery again, hold volume down+power till an android image comes, then press volume buttons up and down.
>wipe data/factory reset!
once its done, reboot.
hope it works!

Stuck at bootloader

I was running the Vortex ROM for several months now. This morning, my volume rocker wouldn't stop increasing the ringer volume. I couldn't do anything, so I pulled out the battery.
The phone would then boot till the Android exclamation sign and wouldn't go any further. I pulled out the battery several times while at that screen and now it refuses to even go beyond the bootloader. I have drained my battery completely
Please, help

I've got a battery charger that works with any battery. Hopefully, battery won't be an issue now

Android exclamation sign

that would be android recovery, press both volume buttons, to continue, wipe cache, reboot

As mentioned in the OP, I don't see the android recovery now. All I see is the "Google" logo. This replaced the Motorola logo since I had flashed the Vortex ROM.
Powering on the phone with both volume keys pressed takes me to a screen that reads "Bootloader 30.04. Baterry OK. Ok to program. Connect USB data cable."

press and hold home, while powering on to get triangle, !, and android andy

It was on .621. As mentioned in an earlier post, I tried SBFing. It was successful except when it rebooted, it was still stuck at the M logo. Could this be a button issue?

[Q] Droid x bricked

im gur.co m/W8IHxGf
^ please remove the spaces to use it.
I believed my droid x is bricked..
I have tried to use MANY different types of SBF files and using RSD lite to originally downgrade so i could put cyanogen mod on it now no matter if the rsdlite thing passes or not (And i've tried sbfflash or whatever it is called on linux and ive tried live cds and live usbs)
any sbf file i try it always crashes or goes back to this screen!
I've been trying for atleast a day now to fix it with no results.. Please help..

use Droid_X_621-ezSBF.iso

and you have to wipe data in android recovery, if you bootloop
Android Recovery: with phone powered off,
press and hold home button, then press your power button,
hold till you see a triangle on the screen w/ android andy,
then press both volume buttons (on froyo it's search)
scroll with volume buttons, select with power button

It just stays at the Motorola logo for 5 minutes. Then it goes to the AOKP bootanimation, and it sticks there for ever. When you say the bootloader, do you say like where you flash the .sbf files? There is no Bootstrap anymore. Bootstrap doesn't show anymore.
