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.
so i just downloaded MIUI rom, on my D2g, and now, it boots up to only the globe, which circles, and circles, and does....nothing. i am a novice, so take er easy on me. what did i do wrong? i used cm recovery, and installed it that way

You can try wiping all the cache/data from the recovery menu

I agree w/jbroderick.. also an issue i've found recently is if it starts to loop, battery pull and pull the sd card.. for some reason that seems to help...hope you got it working..

power off the phone. slide open the keyboard, press and hold X key, press and hold power, keep holding X key. You will go in stock recovery. Now press the magnifying glass key - a menu will appear. Perform data and cache clean, reboot the phone (from the menu).
If you are on GSM - it may help to take sim card out. Doesn't hurt to do at first boot anyways.
If nothing works - SBF back to stock and start over as suggested by abalsor
edit: to navigate around in stock recovery use arrows on the keyboard, ok to confirm and backspace to go back

thank you for your help!!!!!! however...
what does SBF mean, and how do i do it? i was able to get to stock recovery, however, the suggestions you made didnt work
It looks like a long process but its really not that bad... Here is the link w/the file you need and RSDLite v4.9....
a few things to remember....
1.)make sure the battery is fully charged
2.)this will bring you back to barebone stock...
3.)follow the prompts and you should be fine...
also the 2nd post from the link above has step by step instructions on how to do it.... takes about 10 or so mins.... I would have posted an XDA link just couldnt find it right now...
*edit - Here is the link on XDA SBF to stock D2G
Tried Owain's new ROM with a dirty flash, (silly me ) and when I rebooted, I got the boot image, but it doesn't go past that. After this I was like " Oh I can just go back to CMW and do a clean flash". After the white LG logo the Blue one came up, like normal, but then it just turns into a black screen. I cant go on my phone OR go to CMW to clean flash the ROM. Any help?
So are you not able to get into CWM by booting up with the power and down volume buttons pressed? If not, are you able to get into the S/W update screen? (Battery out, volume button held down, insert USB)
If you can't get to boot into CWM at all but can get into the S/W update screen, you can use NVFlasher to reflash CWM. Or, at worst case, install stock.

Flashing stock just didn't work, still stuck at boot image. Im going to try flashing CMW over stock.
______EDIT_____
WHOOOOOOP!!! IT WORKED!
Ok, now I have CMW. but I still can't boot into my phone. Should I flash different ROM, because I think it is because of Owain's boot image that I am stuck.
Wipe completely then factory reset and then go to mounts and storage and wipe system and then flash a rom. If that's too hard then stick to stock, and read some more. That way you wont have to sit around pulling your hair out and stressing or sitting with a nice paper weight. Good luck.

That was the next thing, how large is the file maybe it got interrupted and failed, I'd say redownload at this point.

Can you still get into recovery? If you can, fixing it will be like eating pie

im pretty sure that ive never been able to get into recovery, even when i had factory restored my phone. when i do the recovery start method (hold volume down and power) it tends to just cycle through the LG symbol to a box with an arrow pointing out to a little android man. which then loops around to the LG symbol again. any time i do this, it just eventually normal starts my phone, which puts the eagles blood symbol, then the phone shuts down.
When the little android appears, you must press menu button (on the left), one time only. If you wait or you press many times, the phone will reboot normally and will skip the recovery mode.

yeah when i click the menu button, (and i am assuming that the one you are referring to is the menu button on the actual phone) it doesnt even register that i click it, and continues to try and boot normally
is there a way for me to just unroot/ or revert back to the old way my phone was?
FIXED
UPDATE :
Thanks for all your help guys i finally figured out what went wrong.
1: firstly i used the incorrect method of flashing the recovery on my phone (i did it through clockwerk, and if you did this your screwed pretty much)
2: i did not have the gapps on my sd card when i ran the ice cream sandwich install.
i used this method to force flash the recovery on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
then i repeated the correct process on the ICS website, (this time with the gapps on my sd card)
The ICS rom is now running full force and i love every bit of it (though i feel like a caveman with a stick) and i am having fun re-discovering my phone
much love and thanks
