So here is my issue. I have a Droid X. Used EasyRoot to root before 2.2, once 2.2 came out i ditched easyroot, DLed 2.2 and then did the Droid2 Method of installing root. Since I finally got froyo (and figured Ginger woudlnt be out for awhile) i figured i would try my hands at adding some themes. I installed ROM Manager and Bootstrapper (both paid) and flashed clokworkmod and played around with them for a day or so, and kinda figured it wasnt really what i wanted to get into, and decided to go back to just plain root.
So i UNinstalled both root manager and Bootstrapper, and did a batt pull... Now everytime i do a batt pull the "clockwork recovery" screen comes up asking if i want to recover my device. Why is this still on the phone if i uninstalled ROM Manager? There is a folder in my files labeled "Clockwork" but im almost afraid now that if i delete it ill get a Bloop.
How do i go about getting clockwork off my phone? Also, with the Droid2 root method, if i just remove the root, will clockwork and everything else go with it? then i can just re-root?
Clockwork Recovery is seperate from ROM Manager.
ROM Manager can be used to control Clockwork Recovery, but it is NOT CR.
I don't own a DroidX, so I don't know if it's possible to get back to the stock recovery, but no matter what, you shouldn't have to worry about anything.
Clockwork should stay on your phone pretty much regardless of anything else. Even if you factory restore your phone, it'll still be there because it's your recovery partition.
Basically, think of it as that message on an HP/Dell/Others that says "Press F11 to enter recovery mode" and from there you can reinstall a factory refresh of windows.
Same thing here, except you'd restore a backup you've made previously.
You could also flash a ROM you've found online.
You could also initiate a factory reset, but if you've messed with anything in the /system directory, it might not work.
That makes sense. So I guess my next question is Ifi have to take the phone back to vzw will that flag it as voided? Even if I remove root? And will I have problems with any future OTAs?

I have searched a bit and can't find what I am looking for. I have a rooted tbolt and not new to rooting but not familiar with the d2global(my son's phone). So I rooted via the 4z method and everything went smooth. Downloaded cw bootstrap and loaded liquid gingerbread 2.5. I am very upset as I forgot to make a backup prior. Anyway I did a factory reset, cache wipe, etc.. and loaded the rom. Now there is no service and I am stuck in aiplane mode. I am hoping there is a simple fix. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Nevermind, figured it out Loaded CM7, must have been something within the liquid rom.
there is no liquid rom for the d2g, if you try installing a rom for the d2 (which i assume liquid is for) your radio wont work, which is why its always in airplane mode.
cm7, on the other hand, is made for the d2g.

i did the same thing, and now i'm stuck, i tried to do a recovery and somehow it won't let me i tried holding the power and volume down to try to do a manual recovery, cause i did a backup so i can restore, unfortunately i can't get to that recovery...if i knew liquid 2.5 was bad i shouldn't have installed that POS...any help will be good, thanks
Your baseband is FUBAR, so you need to reflash an SBF.
Instructions here.
Finding the images and RSDLite with Google should be easy enough; if not (and only in that case), PM me.
JFYI: there is no way to get to CWM if you cannot boot the OS to at least a bootloop after the point where adb shell becomes available.
Thank you
Thanks, i will def give it a try...i can get to bootloader by holding power button and both volume button...i just didn't know what to do from there...
The problem i'm having is :
phone does boot up running liquid 2.5, problem no service stuck in airplane mode
all function of the phone works just can't make calls etc without service
i do see the backup files when i open file manager, just can't get it to open up, hopefully that bootloader thing works,
if rom manager was working that would help solv e everything cause i would be able to restore, but the app is not there when loaded liquid, usually when you ask to rebbot it would give you an option to reboot or recover...oh well
thanks so much hopefully i can try to resolve it later tonight...
by the way what is CWM, what does that mean
CWM is ClockworkMod Recovery, the “custom” recovery that lets you perform backup and restore of your phone's flash memory and install various custom ROMs and modifications. See http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery for a bit more information on it.
Question where would i find the images and what rev RSDLite do i use 4.9 or 5.0, sorry, just asking...
Google the file names, should net you some results.
4.9 or 5.0, doesn't really matter. 5.0 is reported to work better than 4.9 on Windows 7 systems.
thanks, i got it to work....thanks so much...
Before you flame, I did read this and was still a bit confused.
Basically, I've been using my Verizon-ROM'd Charge (with the latest updates) for about a month now. I'm ready to ODIN over to a new ROM (probably the 8/3/11 HumbleComb ROM), but without a one-click root, I'm not sure how I can install/run/backup all my data with TB if I don't have root access.
So right now, I'm looking for any way to root my Charge, backup all the apps/data before I flash a ROM that seems (from my reading) to do a full wipe.
The other problem I'm having is in regards to my wife's Charge. We both came from Vibrants and she had quite a few important apps (with critical data) she'd like to bring over. However, she could care less about going to a rooted/aftermarket ROM. She just wants her old apps to work.
I've searched fellas... I'd really like some help on this. Please throw me a line... even if it's a link to a thread I missed.
Thanks in advance.
Wrong section but just odin this kernel, it doesnt wipe any of your data. Then you can use Titanium Backup or whatever you use to backup your apps. Dont restore system apps unless you want force closes.

Awesome! I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I appreciate the helps.
**EDIT**
That worked perfectly. Thanks! Backing up everything with TB now in preparation for flash a real ROM.
Mods, please move as necessary.
most roms nowadays will root you when flashed/odined so yeah just back everything up and load up the rom of your choice

Things were going so well, I decided to flash HumbleComb 1.5 using Odin. Now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo. I'm guessing it was because the tool originally recommended here enabled the lagfix. Funny thing is, if I reflash HC 1.5 from Odin, the first thing I get is the recovery screen. Inside the voodoo settings there, it says Voodoo is disabled and not scheduled to be enabled on the next boot (this was after the 2nd flash, though). Voodoo had to be enabled. I got a 1400+ quadrant score...
Gotta read the "fix your phone" thread now. Was too tired to fart around with it last night. At least I got everything backed up.

Wipe everything in recovery (data/cache/dalvik) and then plug into Odin and flash. That works every time for me when it sticks on the Samsung logo...
Ok, first off, I'm kind of a newbie and probably did something stupid. Sorry. Let me explain.
I need to send my G2x back to TMobile for warranty replacement. I was running CM7 with ClockworkMod Recovery. I flashed back to stock recovery, and had stock Gingerbread load. Worked great. Only one problem: Superuser was still listed as a program. I don't want to send it in to TMobile with evidence that I rooted it. The only way to delete it seems to be to root phone again.
I tried rooting again, even reinstalled CM7, but couldn't find a way to delete superuser.apk. Then I started doing stupid things. In ClockworkMod I deleted just about everything, including the /system mount. Well, now, I can't seem to reload stock Gingerbread anymore, since I think I deleted the packages.
So, this is where I stand: I have ClockworkMod installed, I can load CM7 or other roms just fine. But when I flash back to stock recovery, I'm screwed. The phone can't find the proper stock Gingerbread files. What I need to be able to do is get it back to completely stock condition, so TMobile is none the wiser.
Please tell me there is a way to fix this! Thanks!
Nevermind
Nevermind, I figured it out. I did a restore of an old backup, then was able to find unroot .zip on XDA. Sorry for previous post -- I was freaking out and thought I had permanently messed up phone! Next time I'll read more before posting.
I am novice when it comes to flashing, rooting, SBFing, etc. I spent endless hours trying to figure out how to get my rooted VZ Froyo to GB. Finally I found a great download that allowed me to boot from a CD on my computer and flash the SBF back to my phone. It worked great I didn't even have to wipe the cache. The phone updated and GB was running. I got it rooted and thought all was going well. Now the only reason I root is to run wireless tether, here is where things went awry.
I find out that it is a big hassle to get tethering to work on GB, thanks Google. So i decide to try and revert back to Froyo. I use the same CD method that worked before, but this time it gets stuck in boot loop. Now I have to wipe the cache and lose all my settings and apps. Finally I get it all back together, minus many apps, I will have to remember them as I go along and re install them. All is all a serious pain in my ass, but a good learning experience.
Now, I wanted to ask a question about Bootstrapper backups. After the SBF and wipe, I rooted again and added Bootstrapper. Then I noticed that some of my backups where still there, (presumable on the SD card). So I tried to load on but it didn't work and the phone got stuck on the Moto icon boot. At this point I thought I had bricked it, but was able to do the CD SBF thing again and just start from scratch. Would there be anyway I could restore one of my backups successfully.
Use Advanced recovery and only restore /data.
Can you tell me what application you used for installing GB? Mine won't update and I don't care that much about tethering.
There's no “application” like that. There's OTA update that can be installed either automatically or via the stock Recovery. You must have your /system FS intact, however. z4root is OK, Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery isn't. Removing CWM was discussed multiple times, google for “logwrapper.bin” or something like that.
#1 a backup from gb won't work with froyo & vice versa.
#2 tethering is NOT a problem on gb. (After rooting) Just use "open garden" free in market.
#3 I think I know which cd program you are using, it does not install the official ota but a rooted leak (I could be wrong)
There are guides on how to sbf (reset to factory out of box).
And there are guides on rooting and roming

Droid2 Global CM4D2G-GB-20111217 ***CM7 RevNumbers Kang***
Hey,
So I was a victim of not enough reading and doing to much at one.
I had a rooted stock GB ROM on my D2G and through easy enough, BootStrap, CWM via Rom Manager and flash CM 7.1. All should be good.
WRONG
I got hung up at the red M logo and try various things to revert to stock b/c there was no way I was getting into the CWM recovery console again.
After failing at every corner a random and 10,000th battery pull I ended up in CWM.
Since the one thing I did right was a nandroid backup I was restored it and the phone booted. I then shut down, dropped in SIM (rogers) and booted back up.
Now everytime I reboot it takes me to CWM. Forcing me to hit reboot system now otherwise it sits in recovery.
Any way to have it not boot into recovery? Just boot normal?
Thanks.
First, if you are on Rogers in Canada - do not bother trying CM7 - doesn't work properly on GSM. Stock firmware will be much more useful.
Second - There are two CM7's (if you are determined to try it) - one is Froyo base (the one found on CyanogenMod site) and the other one is GB base. It seems you flashed the Froyo based one on top of Gingerbread thus you ended up stuck on red M logo. To fix the problem - you have to either try flashing GB base CM7 from CWM or (better) SBF and start over. Again - if you want Froyo based CM - use the 2.4.29/2.4.33 SBF. If you want to try the Gingerbread based one (check rootzwiki for more info), flash the GB SBF that was recently made available or flash 2.4.29/330 and OTA to 4.5.608. Root, CWM and so and so. But pick your CM7 package carefully!
But if you are not on CDMA - you better don't waste your time with CM7.
Thanks for the reply. The phone boots fine now.
One question tho.
I have some how lost the Accounts and Sync Option.
If I do a factory reset (from phone settings not recovery mode)will I loose root and will I loose the Gingerbread OTA update that was done on the phone before I got it?
Or do you know how to recover something like Accounts and Sync?
I am going to be sticking with the Stock ROM
Have you disabled any system apps? This could be a reason for broken accounts.
As far as factory reset, either from phone menu or from recovery, will not remove root or any other changes you might have made in /system. It simply deletes /data partition.

Thanks I discovered that I had deleted the "Setup.apk" without backing up.
Retrieved that app from another member and all is well.
