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.

Everything worked and now im back on stock. I even used z4root to unroot my phone and. Now I turn my phone off at night and then back on this morning and my phone was in recovery mode. Had to select the first option boot up phone and everything is good now. But why is it in recovery mode and how do I fix that because its not soposed to be in recovery mode. I even unistalled bootstrapper. Please help.

Uninstalling bootstrap still keeps the hijacked logwrapper file. Try foogling how to completely remove it. I dont remember the exact steps off the top of my head.

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.

Hello, I moved to TB from Fascinate.
I just rooted my TB and tried to change fonts (systems/fonts, DroidSans DroidSansFallback DroidSans-Bold files)
after I changed everything, I turned off the phone and am trying to turn it back on.
After the sound comes on, it froze showing clouds on the screen.
What should I do? Is there any Odin stock files something like that?
I see the posts on development forum with ADB things but the thing is I can turn my phone back on.
Please help!!!
Give it time to turn on. The clouds freeze. It's part of the boot animation. If that doesn't work hold the sound button down and power on and go into recovery and wipe data or flash a different rom thru cwm

I held the sound button down and power on and it straight went to bootloader instead recovery! after that I could turn on my phone but Rom manager doesn't work property. should I go back to stock and reroot it?

first hold down power and vol down, then once you get into the bootloader, hit vol down till your highlighting recovery, hit power, now your in the recovery. Download a new rom and flash that.
Im havinbg the same problem. i was rooted with S-off and had clockwork installed and i tried to flash a new rom on and after i did that i tried to boot and it stuck on the cloud for 45 mins. afte that i tried again and again to no avail. Finally i went back into clockwork and did a factory wipe, bt it STILL sit on the clouds. Am i screwed?
Try a different rom and do a data & dvlik wipe before you flash...
About to try a different rom now. I also tried to chage my kernel with clockwork. Could that do anything different?
OKay so i got it to load with DAS BAMF. Lightning rom didnt work sadly =( im hoping this reboots good lol
So I have a major problem. And I'm probably a moron. This is the first time I've ever gone to flash to a custom rom on this phone.EDIT: I have flashed custom roms multiple times on past phones but never on android. I unlocked (EDIT: ROOTED) it several months ago using ACE kit and worked perfectly. I finally decided I was ready to go to a custom Rom. I downloaded Rom Manager by clockwork mod and paid for the premium version. My phone isn't connecting to my laptop and isn't able to synce. I think it may be my USB cord, but that's what caused me to flash through Rom Manager. I downloaded the ClearDroid Mod, Backed up my phone using Titanium Backup, then went back into Rom Manager and clicked begin flash to new rom or whatever it said. It went through everything and said it was a success. PHone restarts into white HTC screen. Then changes to Black HTC screen with quietly brilliant underneath. It sits there for a few minutes then quietly brilliant "rewrites" itself underneath. I have no clue what to do and obviously am way over my head. I hope I can get help.
Thank you in advance.
This is just a boot loop. One of the reason why I don't use rom manager. Any who. Pull the battery. Put it back in and boot phone up with volume down and power pressed simultaneously. You should see a white screen. This is the boat loader. Scroll down to recovery. In recovery wipe data/cache/dalvik. Then select install from SD. And choose your rom
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Did as you said. Didn't work. Still the same problem. I wiped everything, which was 2 options, wipe cache, and wipe user data. I think selected install from SD, navigated into the clockword folder in my card until I found the Cleardroid Rom. It installed again (succefully according to the screen) and I went and selected reboot. And back to same problem. I probably should have backed up my current rom shouldn't I?
Live and learn. The first boot does take the longest, give it a few minutes. But if it doesn't boot then it could have been. Bad download. What you can do is download the from again or a differentrom on your PC. Then in clockwork mount the SD card and transfer it over or you can use an adapter which ever is easier
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA
Thanks! I was actually in the process of installing another ROM when you responded. I remember reading other threads and put a few pieces together. Seems as though it worked. Thanks for your help though.
One last question. Can I just install ROMs through that method everytime? As in start in bootloader, enter recovery, and install that way?
Yup, that's how I do it. I prefer to manually wipe and install roms. Many roms come with an advance power menu so its even easier as they have an option to boot straight into recovery.

Ive been using the thread to Odin back to stock as im getting a replacement phone in a few days. Followed everything correctly, but Ive been getting a boot loop between the green android guy and the white Samsung startup logos. Redid the process in odin and now im getting "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" when I go to download mode. i know I have a saved Nandroid backup on my SDcard, I just cant get to it. I also have mini Kies installed on my computer if there is a way to fix it thru that. I cant figure out how to get into recovery mode either. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated! Im just trying to get my phone working until my replacement is here.
I did Odin again, but now im stuck in a boot loop between the greenm android guy and the white samsung startup screens.

That's because you had to factory reset and erase all data before flashing to stock. I had the same issue when flashing from dk4 to stock to lf4

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
So how do I get my phone working again? Its stuck in a bootloop after following the directions for Odin back to stock thread

This issue only occured when you uncheck Auto reboot in Odin. Try Odin again with Auto reboot checked
If you getting an boot loop, do exactly what I've done in Odin thread
If you get a boot loop All you do is boot in stock recovery and wipe data

Can't go to stock recovery in this case. This issue only occoured when Odin to stock ROM after using/flashing custom ROM that you forgot to format system or clean data. I've run into this problem before
It looks like after all this, Titanium Backup's backup was erased. I do have a Nandroid saved on my SDcard. Is there a way to pull everything from that? When I go to CWM and try to do a Nandroid, it says there isnt anything there. But When I connect to my computer, I can see the saved backup. I have been able to pull a few backed up apps off the Nandroid backup, but only certain ones or it says batch restore failed. Im wonder how it can see the Nandroids, but CWM cant? They're saved on my SDcard.
Is there another way Titanium Backup saves backups that I could possibly get to them? Im really trying to figure this out before my replacement phone gets here in a few days. I did backup everything, Im just having a difficult time restoring after the numerous problems Ive had thanks to Tmobile's "troubleshooting"
What are you currently running? If you are back to stock titanium won't function correctly as you have to be rooted. But since you mentioned cwm I wasn't sure.

Im just on stock but I am rooted. I just dont know where all my backups went after the bootloop and issues with reverting to stock after Tmobilr screwed up my phone trying to figure out why I kept getting "Call Ended" when trying to dial out.
Where is your nandroid backup currently located?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using Tapatalk 2
On my external SDcard/clockwork mod/backup/ whatever the date was.
Seems normal. Not sure why it wouldn't be visible. Sorry I can't be more help.

In recovery they are visible, but when I go to flash one it says no files found..
I was also stuck in a boot loop after attempting to get my phone back to stock since I got a replacement phone. Followed all of the instructions, but realized although I did a factory reset, I forgot to wipe data. So I simply got CWM through Odin....got into recovery wiped data....rebooted and voila! I'm back to stock no root. It took all of 1 minute to do. Maybe that will work for you too

Thank you for your quick response.I am able to get to recovery mode.and wipe data and factory reset.I got cm10 1117 nightly on my SD card and I install that and my phone is back.then I install jelly bean Google app.I will never try to go back to stock ROM again. this ROM is cm10 1117 nightly is better than stable cm10 for me.I thank all the devs who worked together to bring this your effort is much appreciated.
This is how I get to recovery mode on my Samsung galaxy s blaze.
1.press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.
2.as soon as the Samsung logo light up I release power + vol down button but not releasing releasing vol up button but rather press it harder..and there it comes....may be someone might be having the difficulty I had before
Give it a try...
