Hey guys. So I was flashing the new fission rom on my droid 2 today and after the backup was created and everything else was set, when the phone was rebooting, it just got stuck on the motorola boot logo. I have tried pulling the battery out and everything and all I get is the same boot logo. Is there anyway I can get into recovery mode?
any ideas on how to get the phone to boot propertly? :/
Are you holding X while powering on? This will get you into stock recovery. If you can get to that, try wiping data and cache and rebooting. If not, you might have to SBF:

ALWAYS be sure to wipe data and cache when flashing a new ROM.
Hope this helps and you get your phone working.
If you get to the boot animation, pull the battery in the middle of it and when you reboot it will go into clockwork. If not, you will have to use an sbf

Also try holding the X button down on keyboard and hold down power also till motorola logo pops up.
Then hit the search key below X.
Wipe data and cache.
Good to go. Happens to me all the time when reflashing after a SBF.
alright. i'll give the sbf a try. and i did try holding down X. I got to that menu, wiped cache and data and i'm still stuck at that logo.
i got everyting to work but the final step. when i am about to flash the sbf on rsd lite, i locate it and everything, but the program won't let me click start in order to begin flashing. any ideas?
Did you click on your device in the list at the bottom?

Also be sure you are using rsdlite 4.8 or 4.9

by click do you mean highlight? yeah i did. the start button is still faded out. i am also running rsd lite 4.9 :/
If you are on windows 7, you have to run rsd as admin. or your device won't show up.

Did you make sure and wipe? I've had the same issue after not wiping. Try wipe and reinstall and see if it works

Do you have your phone in recovery when you are trying to SBF? If so that may be your problem. You need to have it on the bootloader. You get to it by pressing up when you turn the phone on. It should go straight in, you shouldn't even see the moto symbol.
got the problem fixed! thank you all for your help. it was the windows 7 admin problem. Just did it off my media center xp desktop, worked like a charm. and yes i was in bootloader mode.
thank you again!
Congradulations! Glad to hear ya got it fixed.
Awesome! Glad your up and running.

I have a droid pro and I used z4root to root the phone today. I also installed Droid2 Recovery bootstrap because others had said that it works for them. I then downloaded a ROM and it boots up, but when it gets into the boot in just loops and loops and loops. What buttons do I push to get into the nand or whatever its called?
You need to boot into recovery mode (power+r+m) and then press the @ button and then use the speakers to navigate to factory wipe and press enter to execute it. Then you need to wipe the cache and then flash the .sbf if you wanna get it booting again

Thanks. I went and dropped it off at verizon this morning before reading the message. If they cannot return it to stock then I will do that. I wish I had read that first though...
Verizon fixed it. It came back still rooted, but it would boot. I thought that was strange. Oh well. Back to normal now. I unrooted it lol.
Droid2 stuck in boot Motorola sign took it to a verizon store to load the rsd.img to reset it and they say they can't because im rooted...I thought with the rsd it was possible?

Did they know you were rooted or did you tell them? Red lite is a program you run on your own from a computer

RSD not "red"

No I did not tell them about root...I tried rsd lite but I read they have not released the .img, for the OVA update released not to long ago

Find the 2.3.20 full sbf file and hook the phone up and flash it. As long as you get a bootloader screen or the like you can recover regardless of what's messed up, including the recovery.
If you could post more detail about what your phone is displaying when you turn it on, that would go a long way to helping you out further

TBH did not release the sbf for the unofficial OTA to GB, if you broke it you have to flash back to Froyo and start over using the 2.3.20, especially if you installed the version with the bad recovery (released on accident). Slide your keyboard out and power it on while holding the UP arrow, it should load up the bootloader screen and then you can connect to RSD lite and flash away. Make sure after you flash you fire up the stock recovery and do a factory reset (hold x till the android guy and triangle appear, then press the search button on the keyboard), sometimes the phone will bootloop otherwise after a flash.
I was still running froyo, never upgraded in any way to GB. Downloaded RSD lite 4.9, and updated my drivers. The sbf file i used was 2.3.20, the RSD could never find my phone. I tried to run as Administrator but can't figure out how to do it, I've tried every way. Running Vista on Desktop, and 7 on laptop. Still no luck.
the phone will not charge at all, I have to use a separate battery charger. If I press the power button the Moto Sign comes on and stays froze at this screen, until battery is pulled. I can get into the phones stock recovery, (power+x), I have wiped and reset, but just to get the Moto sign froze again. Several attempts on that one. Once battery is charged enough, I can connect with USB (power+up), to RSD lite. But RSD will not find phone. That's when I read that they haven't released the sbf file I need for the last OVA update, before the GB OVA update.
Thanks

First go here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...rld-present-droid-2-2-3-20-triple-threat.html
down load the drivers for Moto connect (more like the reason RSDLite wont see your phone)
make sure you have either RSDlite 4.8 or 4.9
download the 2.3.2 sbf file
Switch your device to PC mode
Turn on debugging mode (settings>applications>development>debugging mode)
Launch RSDLite (make sure device appears in window)
Select SBF
Start
Device will switch to bootloader and begin the flashing process and will reboot when it is complete.
Ill try tonight but I can't turn on pc mode the phone wont turn on ill try with usb on
Thanks

Hello, I have rooted my Droid 2. I installed the VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf. Now my phone goes randomly goes black. I have to pull the battery out to bring it back up. My sd drive unmounts itself sometimes. How can I fix this issue?

Why did you sbf?
Try pressing shift, alt, & delete to shut off, instead of battery pull
Could try fix permisions in cwr or wipe cache
Edit: you have the droid 2 global right?

Use the 2.4.29 SBF image.
2.4.330 does not completely reflash the phone, and people reported various issues remaining after flashing the 2.4.330 image.
I sbf the phone so I can downgrade to use the team fission rom. Do you have a link to the 2.4.29 SBF image

try links in my sig
I loaded this spf DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL SBF from terrigans sig. It installed up till it asked me to restart manually. I took the barttery out of my phone. I restarted in recovery,wipe the cache and data. I rooted the phone again using droid3 123 root. It ran fine for alittle bit. Now it wont turn back on when I put the phone in sleep mode. I have to take the battery out again like before. Is this phone broke?
So my phone had CyanogenMod 7.1 for awhile but it was acting pretty squirrely so I decided to flash back to stock. I SBF'ed to 4.5.608, which I found on RootzWiki, using RSDLite (I can't find a copy of the old SBF file, sadly). Seemed to work fine... except now I'm stuck in a boot loop and I need to wipe cache/clear data. I boot up and hold down the Up key and I get the triangle with the exclamation point... except then my search key does nothing. It just sits there.
So... am I pretty much screwed now?
When you get to the triangle press both of the volume buttons.

Try downloading DROID RAZR HD tool kit and flashing back to stock when you go into the boot mode you may be able to restore it.

i do have the toolkit and i tried that but i doesnt see the phone. i guess it needs to be on.. but i know i can push it somehow. any other ideas.... my phone doesnt go on at all so it has to be something that pushes it or turn it on via computer.
Do you happen to have a factory cable for tbh that has worked for me in the past. Sorry for your bad luck maybe someone smarter than me will be a long soon

Hey bud, you might want to try forcing a reboot. I had the same issue you had but for a different reason and forcing the reboot helped me. Hold down the power and volume down buttons for 10 seconds. Hopefully that helps.
