I screwed my droid x - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Ok I have a Droid X that I had rooted using Z4root app. Then I installed Apex rom on it via Rom Manager and Droid X BootStrap. I was going to give the phone to someone so I erased the memory card and did a factory reset on the phone. Now when it rebooted it I only get the Triangle "!" and green Droid, when I click the search I get the basic android reboot, apply sdcard:update, wipe data, wipe cache options. NO MORE CLOCKWORK MOD! So what I need to know is how can I get clockwork back on the phone so that I can recover the phone from my nandroid back that I have on another sdcard.
The phone is currently hosed until I can get clorkwork or something back on to it. I wont even boot pass the Motorola icon that shows on power up.
HELP ME SOMEONE PLEASE.

You need to flash to the sbf file found by searching google. use the program rsdlite

[Q] D2G wont boot into recovery, even after SBF, help!

ok so heres what happened:
I have a d2g and flashed fission 2.4.3. everything was fine, but i was having an issue where the phone went into recovery if i plugged it to a wall charger and unplugged it fast. so i decided to flash sbf and return it to stock to begin the root/flash process all over again.
after successfully flashing sbf im stuck at the droid/red eye boot animation, i read that i was supposed to then go into recovery and clear/wipe data/cache, only problem is my phone wont go into recovery mode, it only shows the picture of the little android and an exclamation point inside a triangle, can anyone help me?
when you get into the screen with the little android guy, the exclamation point and the triangle, push the button on the keyboard with the magnifying glass, then you can wipe your cache/data
when you get to the android guy and the triangle hit the magnifying glass key on your physical keyboard...then factory reset
thank you guys sooo much! I just wiped data and cache and it fully booted! now i just need to call *228 to activate.
How would I boot into stock recovery on D2G? Power+Vol- Power+Vol+ ? Neither do anything...
(EDIT)
"Power+X" Will boot into stock recovery
Recovery Disappeared
After SBF; my D2G won't let me to recovery ~ stuck at the M LOGO
I tried everything including X+Power but it's as if Recovery is fried , it's lost..
Is it possible that the Keyboard is burned? Is there any other way ; any other key or button combination to boot into recovery? Maybe ADB Shell SU from off power?
So far only Software Upgrade mode works; VolumeUp+VolumeDown+Power
Please help..
P.S. Why do they call RSD Lite? Is there a non-lite full version which may let me boot into recovery using the computer and USB cable?
Thank you in advance//

Your phone went into CWM if you plugged charger and unplugged it fast? Try delete system/bin/hijack and system/bin/ logwrapper,then rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper?

[Q] **HELP** Infuse stuck at SAMSUNG logo

I'm a noob and I tried to install 3e recovery using the instructions and video supplied in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105413
Everything seemed to work fine until I went into ROM manager and tried to backup current ROM (stock, rooted). I selected backup ROM and now my phone is sitting with the SAMSUNG logo and it hasn't moved from that in almost an hour. I'm not sure what to do to get the phone to boot up normally. I have done a battery pull but that didn't work. When I plug the phone into my computer, XP does recognize that is plugged in because it shows the internal and external sd cards in the My Computer window. I can't open either on by double clicking on the icon for each drive. I'm getting pretty desperate because I can't seem to figure out how to get the phone to boot normally. Any help and/or suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks!!!
Odin flash to stock in dev section
try a hard reset. you shouldnt pull batteries unless it is the last resort, linux needs to unmount the file system.
a hard reset(different from a factory reset) is accomplished by holding the vol up +vol dn + power at the same time untill the phone reboots. if you wait till the samsung screen pops up again and immediately release you may also enter 3e recovery mode.
try to just boot the phone into the ui first. if it is still ok, go into rom manager and "flash cwm recovery" choose captivate or i9000. reboot into 3e recovery(blue text), (select reboot recovery not backup) reinstall packages twice! you should now be at a green text cwm recovery. once you get it setup the backup link in rom manager should work.
if the phone fails to boot up after a hard reset, you can attemp to clear user data in 3e recovery. you can get to 3e with phone off(you may pull battery now if you need to) hold vol up+ vol dn + pwr and hold untill you see the "samsung" screen. then you can clear data/factory reset
if that doesn't help you can still use odin/heimdall to restore the phone with one of the roms that may already have modded 3e recovery and other nice features.
Thanks for all your help! I managed to get it back working using Odin. Now I'm on the Infused ROM and loving life. I'm going to save this post just in case I get into trouble again down the road.

This is an old useless method... just Odin flash the community kernel v8... done..

I have had that same boot screen problem too, buy a jig and u can put it into download mode that way then when you use odin3 to restore stock, u can get the stock rom with the recovery in it for u and u just need to download the update.zip on rom manager and then go into recovery and run the update zip twice. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
You should get a jig (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...dkw=jig&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313) its a life saver in my opinion. because u can restore ur phone if u ever mess up.
I too am stuck at the Samsung logo. I've used Odin to revert to stock but I think the Stock I reverted to was AT&T rather than Rogers? I can't seem to find the Rogers stock. I've tried to get it into recovery mode, taking out the battery booting with power up and down, releasing power when the Samsung logo came up - no good, the logo stays. I'm at a loss? Any advice? Is the a full raft of pit / pda etc files for Odin that I can make the Rogers Infuse as it was day one?
Thanks for any help
I'm in the same boat... maybe it's because the rogers infuse comes as android 2.3? I hope a solution comes out soon!
Same here, Rogers Infuse. Stuck at Samsung logo. Tried infuse odin recovery, and community. Still no go. I tried flashing all the different stock/unbrick roms but nothing.
However, if I install Infused kernel/recovery, i can access the recovery and do a wipe/lagfix.
I was trying to flash to Infused and when I got to the step where the phone rebooted to CWM recovery it hang on the Samsung logo. After about 3 hours of trying various button resets the phone booted normally (ie not to CWM). They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results, well I went back through the same steps to flash to infused and again it froze on the Samsung logo, only I have no idea what I did last time to get it to boot normal, not to CWM. Since it did it before, there must be a combination...anybody know what it might be. I've read and tried everything on the forums. Thought I'd post here prior to using Odin. I am able to get to downloading screen by doing the button/USB cable combo.
I'm headed out of town and won't check this right away, but thanks for any posts with ideas.

Rogers Infuse users need to use the UXKG3 unbrick, not the UCKD5 or E3 unbricks.
The UXKG3 variant tends to fall to the second or third pages of the dev forum since it's far less commonly used.
Holy Crap - im hooped without my phone for work...!
reposting in new thread
Hi guys,
Here is the solution for this issue.
Just flash with this package that will totally reset your Infuse 4G to UCKJ4, do it with linux that worked for me.
Thanks to AdamOutler

The few last posts have mirrors. You are gonna need the odin pack to flash back to stock and then work your way up.
You need to flash ICS before flashing JB.
Infuse 4G wont boot - no root, CWM, Passcode locked
Hi guys
I dont know where to start from. This Infuse 4G was dropped by the owner and we happened to come across it.
Checked the SIM card but that was already deactivated and there were no contacts on it.
Then we wanted to check the phonebook and find someone to contact, but the phone was passcode locked.
Then i went and flashed Odin_Community_Kernel_v8.zip since it was on GB, but it doesnt seem to be booting. I was planning on adb-ing into it when it was in recovery (CWM) so that i could delete the passcode and find a way to get in touch with the owner.
Now am stuck at the Samsung logo...:crying:

[Q] Boot into recovery after brick

Look at EDIT #2!
Dear xda-developer,
My Dad got a brandnew Motorola Droid 2 and I should flash him a new Gingerbread Rom(CM7). But I briked his phone( )... so...
How can i get access to the Recovery Clockwork Mod after brik?
I tried to flash the CM7 to the Droid 2 but i forget to wipe it and to clear cache. After i installed the Custom Rom I reboot the phone, but after the Motorola Picture happen nothing. I tried different methods to get access to the Recovery Mod, but it doesen't work (holding the power Button and the X-Button, holding the power button and the volume down button or the arrow up button (but with this i get access to the bootloader))
Can I flash the Recovery with RSD-Lite? Maybe with step-by-step instruction? Pleeaaasee
Thanks a lot,
Johnny
EDIT: I try to flash another Custom Rom via RSD Lite... hope it works
EDIT #2: Battery Energy is low... and I can't recharge it (youtube.com/watch?v=3uVRZzRMkfg) ... don't know why(<-- NEED HELP!)
1. You can only flash SBF via RSDLite. You cannot flash custom ROMs like that.
2. You need to get some other battery, or charge your battery by some other means.
3. You cannot boot into ClockworkMod in this state.
Okay, now I can charge the battery with another Phone... but how can I access to Clockwork Mod?
Is a sbf-file to unroot a phone and make a recovery?
You cannot access ClockworkMod when the phone is bricked.
Flash an SBF, then root and install Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
Ok, i tried this one:
mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-2-discussion/5323-tbh-mydroidworld-present-droid-2-2-3-20-triple-threat.html
but RSD always says that the flashing process failed...
img339.imageshack.us/img339/5782/unbenanntouf.jpg
Can you kindly inform us why are you using a Droid 2 SBF to flash a Droid 2 Global phone?
Ok, I found a sbf for milestone 2... but I realised that there is no Cyanogen Mod for Milestone 2... ony for the Droid 2. Is that right? So can I use this( download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=cdma_droid2) nightly builds wich are made for the Droid 2 on Milestone 2?
Thanks a lot!
AFAIR, the D2 port doesn't know about GSM.
Same problem on my Droid 2
I was attempting to flash a ROM on my Droid 2 via ROM Manager and forgot to wipe the cache & data...now when my Droid 2 reboots, I get a constant loop of the reboot screen with the Cyanogenmod 7 logo. I've tried going to recovery mode, via holding down the X on the keypad, then turning it on. It allowed me to clear my user data & wipe my cache, but when rebooting the system it still continues to reboot in a loop with Cyanogenmod 7, not taking me to the setup screen. I feel like I'm missing a few steps. Can someone help me with what I am doing wrong?
SBF, research (google is your textbook), and once you've researched enough research some more and then try again. Any time you feel like you've hit a brick wall SBF. Never use D2 or Milestone 2 roms with D2G. Same for the inverse. And use only a D2G SBF.

[Q] Can't Start Stock recovery mode

Hi
Just Today i noticed that i can't start my Stock recovery mode, I am currently on 8.6.5.21 stock Firmware,
The only thing i did was rooting the Device using NachoRoot and i did not Have any problems while rooting, everything went very smoothly, i rooted the tablet and then installed the superuser app, after that i did batch Backup using Titanium Backup and finally installed rootkeeper
A while ago i tried to boot to recovery mode then i got the picture of the Android with the exclamation mark ( ! ) inside of it.
I would like to know wither this is normal after rooting or not because before i never really tried to boot to stock recovery mode.
if not is there anyway i can retrieve the Stock recovery mode?
I mean as far as i know almost everything you'd want to do you'll have to do it using whatever recovery mode you have.
If there is anything you can help me with, it'd be much appreciated.
Thank you​
come on guys 35 views and not a single answer
at least someone tells me wither it is normal or not
Seems normal to me unless you have something on the Microsd that you want to flash.
Sent from my Sparkified TF101 using Tapatalk
so what you are saying is, i have to have a micro sd card inserted with something to flash in order to boot to recovery mode?
I mean what if i want to wipe the data in the device or restore factory settings?
I don't really think it is normal, can anyone please confirm it?
He is right, that is normal.
That is your stock recovery. The stock recovery doesn't do anything except scan for an update file. If it detect one it flash it, if not you get that Android with exclamation symbol. while holding Vol down plus power button and wait till you see the prompt, if you push Vol up within 5 sec it take you to recovery but if you wait a little longer you'll get a prompt to either wipe data our cold boot device

What I would do is go into cmw ( hold power button +volume down ) mount your phone to PC / laptop, re-download the .zip to flash, factory reset then wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache then flash the ROM again .
If I helped you, push the thanks button for goodness sakes!
the thing is, i cant. it stays inn that screen in the "LG" screen it wont even go into recovery
Never use rom manager to install a rom, it doesn't work on our phone.
You need to install clockwork mod (also known as CWM, I can't stand people calling it CMW because that doesn't make any sense) by using NVFlash. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 I recommend installing 5.0.2.0
From clockwork mod you can install and ROMs you want.
