hi everyone, i rooted my droid 2 a couple of months ago. the phone has been freezing up so i am going to take it into verizon but i need to get rid of any evidence that the phone was rooted. i was planning on doing an sbf recovery to "unroot" the phone and go back to stock. i downloaded rsd lite 4.9 and downloaded the 2.3.20 sbf file. how should i go about doing this, do i need to use ubuntu if so how? i have two computers to do this from one with windows xp os and vista os.
Maybe an SBF will fix your problems outright, so you don't have to take it to Verizon.
It's easier to do an SBF in Ubuntu but it's not a necessity.
Make sure that you have the required Motorola drivers installed. After that you need only run RSD Lite, plug your phone in, choose the SBF file, and watch it go.
I would recommend looking up a guide to SBFing for good measure, they're easy to find, and very helpful.

+1 xD I now wish that I would have gotten an Incredible instead of a DROIDX.

Hello, I have my apk file from my old
VZW fascinate I tried to install it on my atrix 2 but it fails. Any ideas why? Does it need a different file? On blockbuster it says the Atrix is supported.

If it says the Atrix is supported that doesn't mean the Atrix 2 is supported. They process video differently. Try looking for a different phone that has the TI chipset and try that. I will say that 2 1/2 stars in the market is dismal and I wouldn't hope too hard for it to work.
Same as the title.

Are you looking for one? If so, Google 'pete's root tools'. It's about as one click as you can get with the d2.
I was able to root the D2G running a freshly-SBF'd .608 Gingerbread with SuperOneClick. Just google SuperOneClick.
on windows i think superoneclick is about as easy as it gets, as long as you follow the directions about when to enable/disable usb debugging if it gets stuck.
on linux i used the droid3 root tools
Ubuntu?

thanks a lot, this worked
For what it's worth, the newest SuperOneClick will work on D2G's running .608.
Hey, I'm just wondering if there have been any new developments on this. My Droid 2 Global's system version is 4.5.629.A956.Verizon.enUS
magic md5 root (my instructions) works
xda thread
or you can try
Root Droid 2 on Gingerbread 2.3.4 [WINDOWS]
I can't get it to work, but Tomsgt has a how to video
Super one click root
it's for D2 but if it works on d2 it should work on D2G
Tucstwo made a one click flash. Read below.

Like mentioned in the OP. I made a 1 click for the HD that removes all the necessary files that would over write you custom recovery AND then flashes either CWM or TWRP for you. Just need windows and a phone. No fastboot, no nothing. Just plug in and click.
Here if you want it

TWRP will work on any XT926 with an unlocked bootloader.
Download the latest version of TWRP from here: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/vanquish/
I believe someone has created a tool that will install this for you in a "one-click" fashion. I would recommend that to anyone not really familiar with fastboot or has lesser confidence in using this method.
Here are instructions: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/twrp-and-clocworkmod-cwm-recovery-for-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt926/ (Ignore the TWRP download links from that article because they may be old.)

Would these work with the XT925 as well (unlocked bootloader obviously) ?

+1, would like to know it too
Thank you
No, these are only intended for XT926 Developer edition. Check the other development area. You guys have a recovery.
Edit: if you want to be 100% sure message @dhacker29 on twitter.

Greetings,
I've just moved up to the XT926 from the Droid X2 and I have a basic question concerning use of these recoveries. I flashed a lot of ROMs on the X2 but I knew I always had the battery pull "safety net" available in case of soft brick or boot loops...and I had to make use of it several times.
This is my first "no battery removal" device and since the battery pull is not really an option on the XT926 (well, not without a lot of extra work), I was wondering if its always possible to get the phone booted into one of these recoveries from say a boot loop, or if some other "disaster recovery" method is needed for such events. I'm looking forward to flashing some ROMs on this awesome phone (once they get a bit more stable), but I'd like to know what I might be in for before I start.
If this is a more complicated topic than should be addressed here, I'd be happy to go look at a different forum/posting if someone could point me to it! Thanks in advance for any help!
Ok just to start the recoveries in this thread are for the developer edition only. The safestrap recovery for all the other versions is in the other development section.
To your questions there should be a reset combination for resetting the battery (like pulling it.) Also you should almost always be able to fastboot flash back to stock if something goes wrong.

Thanks for the reply and yes, I have the Dev Edition (I was going to buy @ full retail anyway to preserve my unlimited data on VZW; figured the DE might provide more possibilities down the road for updates once the developer community started working with it).
Good to hear that there are HW methods available to recover. I'll do more google research before I embark on any major changes. Thanks again!
I'm in the same boat as Kevlar. I'm buying at full retail to save my unlimited data. Debating between RAZR HD Dev Edition or the RAZR HD MAXX. My GNEX battery just sucks and so do the radios.
So if I get the Dev edition I can use the CWM or TWRP but they won't work on the MAXX. Only safe strap works?

That's correct since they don't make a Dev Maxx.

I had the same debate and people on Rootz assured me that the non-MAXX has a great battery too. So I just ordered the Dev Edition.
You wont be sorry at all. Its a great phone.

I've been using the dev HD for two weeks now and the battery is right on par with my old RAZR maxx.
Can someone please answer my noob question.
I've been reading up on flashing ROMs for the RAZR HD but all directions are for the regular RAZR HDs not the Developer Edition so they all talk about Safestrap.
Does the SD card need partitioned if using TWRP or CWM when flashing ROMs onto Developer edition.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I installed TWRP but I think I like CWM better. Is it possible to switch? Just delete all TWRP files and then install CWM?
I tried flashing two ROMs.. CM10 & Vitreous but got errors on both using TWRP. Want to try CWM.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Quick question.
The directions make it clear that renaming recovery.sh is a fairly important step in the process. However, when I went to browse the /system/ect folder I could not find the recovery.sh file. I could find install-recovery.sh however. Is this the same file?
Thank you.
Edit: Got it all worked out and it seems to work flawlessly so far. Thank you for all of the hard work.
If you use TWRP it should rename the file for you like the directions say. If you are in system/etc then yea it should be the same file.

I was just wondering if I can go back to the stock MotoBlur ROM and still have full root access for my GSM XT925 ( mostly because I can't connect to Koodo cell)
Yup.

Tap your heals together three times while repeatedly saying "there's no ROM like stock!"
Or you could use one of the many tool kits available in conjunction with voodoo root keeper.
