[Q] Bootstrap Issues

I just got the Droid 2 Global and so far I've rooted it with z4root and I go to back it up with Droid 2 Bootstrapper and all go's well with the bootstrap recovery. I click it and it says "Success". But I go and click on Reboot Recovery and it doesn't do anything. Doesn't reboot at all and doesn't even seem like its trying to load anything. I can just sit there and press reboot recovery again and again and nothing happens.
Does anybody have an idea about what's going on or how I can fix it?

I believe you still have to flash clockwork recovery. Bootstrapper just bypasses the locked boot loader? I think... download clock work recovery and flash. Cheers.

It should reboot into recovery. No need to flash anything else. I would make sure you have root for sure or see if you can get a different version of bootstrap.

I screwed my droid x

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] **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.

hi dani, i got the same case. but mine cannot boot into CMW. my PC does not detect. any idea??

did you get this fix, I am having the same issue.

So u should use gtgs ultimate unbrick then follow this.
1: Root using super one click
2: Download 3e recovery save it to your SD card
3: Use root explorer to move the 3e recovery file to systim bin overwrite recovery file
4: Reboot phone
5: Download Rom manager and click flash clock work mod pic i9000 not the (mtd)
6: Once its done select reboot in recovery
7: In recovery click RE-INSTALL it should load then click re-install again and u should get green cwm then reboot and flash away

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.

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:

Stuck at m logo

I have a big problem. My milestone xt720 has been stuck to m logo only. I tried different sbf's using rsdlite, I can only go to bootloader mode 80.89 but still the same. Before this happend I am using xt720mod.sbf with shenqi rom and I load movies and watch suddenly my phone rebooted and always stuck at shenqi bootanimation. I even try going to openrecovery but it stops at the mobile logo with indicator at the boron and I tried also booting to stock recovery and wipe and restore everything but it stills stop at boot animation. So I decided to reflash the sbf. Now I came up stuck at m logo.

What sbf did you flash

Often when switching between sbfs that change the phones partitioning, the first boot doesn't work and I have to do a factory reset in stock recovery.
However, if have xt720mod.sbf don't forget you can reenter OpenRecovery via apply update.zip in stock recovery! (unless you deleted the files on your sdcard, but in that case just take out the sdcard and fix it on a PC)
I'm not sure which sbf you flashed. If you reflashed xt720mod.sbf remember it always gets stuck at (M) after a fresh flash--the ROM in xt720mod.sbf doesn't work --so every time you flash xt7210mod.sbf you must then go to stock recovery and apply update.zip to get into openrecovery and then install a working ROM.

I tried cincinati bell 2.1, korean 39r / 50r, central europe, singapore starhub which is the original. But after rsdlite finished the flashing process and rebooted the phone, it just stops at M or starhub logo. Nothing happens. I can't even go to stock recovery. Only i can switch to boatloader.

It sounds like you're doing all the right stuff to me.
I wonder if your camera and gallery buttons may be not working? Have you tried flashing the same sbf a few times in a row? That's what I'd try first. That might cause something like a factory reset. Also make sure your battery is fully charged. On the other hand, being able to switch between starhub and motorola logos demonstrates that RSD is actually doing something. I guess I'd maybe suspect weak button contact in either the camera or gallery key and I'd maybe try repeatedly to get into stock recovery by pulling the battery while holding the camera and gallery keys different ways...

I think the phone stops responding when stuck at M logo. This is what my phone experience..
-when the phone is off. When i plug it to charger i got no response from the phone that it is charging even i plugged it for 1hr. Totally no indicator. Btw i use universal charger to charge the battery.
-we know that if we flash the original phone sbf it should boot normally, which is the starhub sbf is my original. In my case after rsdlite flashing it reboots the phone and it just stay on the starhub logo until my battery drains out. The screen should flicker once indicating that the phone is booting and should load the bootanimation just like before. But it just stops at the logo.
I tried what you have said but still it stops in there. I tried flashing sbf's many times with full battery charge.
If only i can go to fastboot mode and try to scan if there are bad blocks on the nand.

[Q] Confused regarding the terms: CWM recovery, A2 bootstrap, Bootmenu manager

I have an US ATT Atrix2 with ICS (via OTA). CPU @ 1GHZ. I have rooted it. My next 2 goals are: 1.Try the Overclock mod 2. Later try NUMA Rom or perhaps the Paranoid Rom.
Next I have been searching & reading all over about CWM recovery etc. I have used these threads:

But I am pretty lost/confused regarding the terms: CWM recovery, A2 bootstrap, Bootmenu manager.
So I'll try to summarize my questions
1. Bootmenu manager: Is this the stock menu that shows up when holding down both vol button and powering on? What is the purpose/use of this?
-I see options: Normal power up, recovery, AP fastboot, BP tools. Can someone explain these or is there a thread?
-Is the AP Fast-boot mode used in conjunction with RSDLite to restore stock ROMs (stock ICS)?
-Can FXZ (.zip's) that custom roms come in be flashed from SD cards with this Bootmenu manager?
2. CWM recovery? Atrix2 bootstrap? I suppose both these go together and is essentially a "3rd party" recovery program? that allows us:
-to take/restore full backups and flashing of FXZ's?
-this is not same as the "ap fasboot" and using RSDLite?"
-AND this can be removed/uninstalled?"
I was looking at MOD OC/UC/init.d thread:
It says: "reboot into recovery you are using (you must be rooted with bootstrap, not sure if will work with bootmenu....)". What exactly do I need here?

Cwm is the same for all phones, Google for clockwork mod recovery.
We have three implementations of cwm for our phone. They are the following.
1) bootmenu manager - it is as I said an implementation of cwm, but adds in a few features like dual booting 2 ROMS, and gets you the ability to get to it on every boot.
2) bootstrap - a no frills version of cwm, and you can not get into it on every boot without a hack. Most things in here are known to work 100% with bootstrap.
Now there are some things that need to be modified to work with boot menu, and others will just work, trying will usually not hurt you as you can fxz if you bootloop.
3) Cwm is also built into the cm based roms, cm10, cm10.1, PA, etc. This version allows you to get to it on every boot by hitting the volume down button when the blue led lights up.
Hope this cleared it up a little bit.
If something says it works with bootstrap only, then that is what you need, but again it might, just might work with boot menu, and prolly just has not been tested.

1. So with an all stock ICS, the factory menu that I get by holding both vol buttons and power is of no use to us? (and it's not any implemention of CWM). How is this factory menu referred to around here?. (Till I read your explanation above, I figured that call Bootmenu manager).
2. Before I try any roms, I want to take a complete back up the rooted ICS I have (so I can 100% restore and not loose anything incl my apps). What do I need to install for this? CWM Bootmenu manager or CWM bootstrap?
3. If I install the CWM bootmenu manager, you mention it gives the option on every boot. Will this be a nuisance need human intervention for normal power on?

1. It is used to get into fastboot mode to flash an fxz. It is called stock recovery.
2. Either one will work.
3. It's set to time out and boot automatically after a few seconds. Human intervention is only needed if you want to use the recovery mode. Its not a, nuisance, it's a very handy tool for getting out of boot loops.

Appreciate your time and Jim's!. A2 Bootstrap are settling in after I watched this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcWpL_OJx8c
It explains A2 bootstrap and additionally "CWM_on_boot" mod (by JY Danny). I see one has to successfully boot into the phone to be able to launch A2 bootstrap which may not be possible in case of a screw up. Hence the advantage of doing the CWM on boot mod. (And using CWM boot strap, there is no need for RSDLite?). Is my understanding correct?
Now "Stock Recovery" and it's AP Fast-boot mode: is to be used in conjunction with RSDLite to flash stock ROMs (stock ICS)? (esp in case of a screw up). But the same can this also be done via CWM's "install from zip from sd card"?

Well see you hit upon the one major issue with this device. It is that since we have a locked bootloader, we can't flash anything to the recovery partition on the phone, so that means that if you screw up your rom/image CWM is really useless to you, since it actually sits on the system partition with the ROM itself. Now bootmenu manager does place a set of files on the pre-install partition and is a little safer in that respect, but the core of it is still on the system partition, so if you bootloop bad enough, you will not be able to get into bootmenu or bootstrap even with the on every boot hack by J. Y. Daddy.
If the above happens and you can not get into CWM at all, then it is time to use RSD lite and flash the fxz. The FXZ is really your "backup" or your way out of a screw up.
You can backup all day long with CWM, but if you can't get to CWM to restore it, what good is the backup. You can just as easily fxz, and go the play store and install all of your apps again, and sync your contacts online with google, and you are back up and running in a little more time than a CWM restore anyhow.
The ONLY reason for CWM for this phone is to be able to flash ROMs, it really does not serve much more of a purpose. Now I will say that the CWM that is built into the CM based ROMS does not have as much of an issue in a bootloop as the other 2 CWM versions, so installing a CM based ROM may be your best bet, but most of them do have the "stock" camera app working, so you will need to use a 3rd party app to make that work, also the camera flash has issues too, but that be fixed as well.
Again all these things point out your choices and the faults of the CWM implementations we have here, so it really is your choice as to what is best for you and your useage. You can also try them all out, one at a time, and see which one is best for you.

I got it. So the ultimatesavior, is having the trio: Stock ICS fxz, RSD lite & the stock recovery's AP FAST boot (which i suppose in part of the factory bootloader).
Can you confirm/correct the steps below for this?
1. Hold pwr button and vol up&down.
2. Select AP Fastboot. Connect USB cable to computer.
3. Open up RSDLite 6.0, select the FZX and start it? (I read about keeping the FZX zip file in like C:\ and not a long path and also drag & drop the FXZ instead of browse)
4. and bam! all stock working atrix2 :victory:

Jim is much more knowledgeable than I am, but you've outlined it exactly the way I always do it.:thumbup: The only thing I would add to that is to make sure you have a good charge on your battery. I read somewhere that it should be 80%, but I always get a full charge to 100% just to be sure. If the battery dies or gets too low it will cause BIG problems. I found that out the hard way.

.....and make sure you have the most recent Motorola drivers installed, and use the USB cable that came with your phone. Also it is recommended to use the rear USB connector on PC.
