Last night I tried skinning my status bar to black using this method. It was late, I was tired, and did not see that you need to be de-odexed to apply this theme. Needless to say, I'm now screwed. It won't boot past the DROID screen. So... what do I do? I tried booting without the SD card but haven't tried anything else. Do/could I just do the power+home key and clear the cache? Is there any easy fix to this where I can salvage anything from the phone? I'm guessing I need to use the SBF, but I've never done that before so I'm looking for that guide. I'm running the official 2.2 OTA and I had rooted it. Could anybody please point me in the right direction?
I did the same thing the other day. Here is how I fixed it.
-Download RSD Lite (credit to MyDroidWorld)
-Install the RSDLite 4.8 program by double clicking on the program.
-Download SBF into a folder.
-Open RSD Lite and find the UNZIPPED SBF
-Put your Motorola Droid X into bootloader. (turn phone off and hold volume down
and the camera button while pressing the power button)
-Click start and sit back.
PS. You need to run RSDLITE as Administrator.
Note: after the flash will need to boot into recovery (hold volume down and the home button) and wipe data and cache.

I ran into an issues after I did this, it would try to activate though US Cellular. That isnt uncommon. just be sure to restore to thought the phone after you SBF and the go to your keyboard and hit *22807 then ## that should force it verzion. If you have any questions let me know
Thanks for your help. Yeah you probably would've had to update the PRL file as that's just a generic 2.2 OS install. Quick question - would it be a problem if I already wiped the cache and data/factory reset it? I just tried that and it didn't help any. Mostly just a black screen now with the occasional flash to the DROID logo. Am I still good to use the SBF?
Also... did you ever get this resolved? I Googled *22807 because I'd never heard of it before and this is what came up. Does flashing to this SBF always mess up your MEID?
I would assume that you would be ok SBFing it. My friend works for Verizion and that is what she gave me to do.
My phone will not turn on. I was doing a factory reset, but it seemed to freeze, so I did a battery pull. Now my phone is either stuck on the samsung logo, or an empty batter symbol with a white circle. Please help.
Only thing I can think of is to try to get into download mode (remove the battery, plug the phone into a computer, and press the volume down button). If you can get to download mode, you should be able to flash a stock rom via Odin (instructions for this can be found in multiple threads on this forum.

Yes, do that.
download odin and the stock 2.1 build. then place your phone in download mode. flash the rom the way the instructions tell you too. then walk into your local uscell and complain til they give you a new mesmerize. that should solve all your probs
Got mine to reboot
i got my samsung mesmerize to turn on by pressing in the startup button on the right AND the volume control button on the left (up, don't know if that matters) at the same time for a few seconds (at least 5) and eventually the SAMSUNG logo appeared and it is now working fine.
I hope this helps anyone who has the same issue!
lately EVERY time i reboot my phone (running ics build 2, 3 and 4, stock kernel) it gets stuck on samsung logo.. somehow my phone will only boot into the frigging cm7 recovery which as im sure youre all aware is rather useless to fix any problems im having in ics and leaves me unable to flash, backup, or restore anything. it's quite frustrating and i have no idea how to fix it but by going back to bml, re-partitioning, then odin ei20 modem, cm7 fixed recovery, then flash back to ics but doin this every reboot it getting very tedious..
ive read about recovery loops, but the fix doesnt work for me as i cant mount the ICS /system partition in cm7 recovery...and ive been all over trying a zillion things to get it to work and havent pulled dmesg or logcat but if someone thinks it would be useful ..i wish i knew why EVERYTHING is great, then BANG, reboot and it's FML city.
I'm a little stuck as to what to do now. Flashed clear droid 1.2.3 (gb) over clear droid 1.1.51 (froyo) after doing a factory reset and clearing the dalvik cache from clockwork recovery and flashing the recommended radio for gb. The stock mms app was force closing, for which ClearD recommended flashing the radio again... but the phone refuses to go into HBOOT when I hold the power button + the volume down button on startup. It just buzzes a few times and the screen stays black until I release the buttons and then it just boots normally except it gets stuck in airplane mode or refuses to recognize the SIM card until it's rebooted without holding down the volume button.
I did a backup with clockwork and a nandroid I think? If those are the same thing then I did two nandroids I'm thinking I should do another factory + dalvik wipe and flash the backup, but I'd like to get this thing on gingerbread. Any advice as to what I did wrong the first time would be greatly appreciated before I start over.

The good thing about Android (And ClearDroid) is that there are several ways to go about doing things.
Instead of trying the volume down + power trick, try installing the modpack (can be done by installing the zip through Rom Manager like it is a ROM) and then after install, just hold the power button, press "Reboot", then "Reboot into Bootloader" I believe.
If you still wish to try the power down option, make sure that USB Debugging is turned on and that fastboot is turned off in your settings. If still no success, post here and we will keep on troubleshooting. It might be good for others to see the steps we take to get this figured out.
:O thank you for trying to help me, master ClearD! I flashed the modpack like you said, and the sms errors went away However, I still can't get into HBOOT, and there isn't an option to do so in the modded shutdown menu Also, I don't have the option to turn off quick boot?? It's supposed to be in settings>applications>developement, right? And the phone lost the new radio! It went back to 12.56... instead of 12.62... and you said to flash that in HBOOT, so I didn't try doing it from recovery (which I can get into). I tried holding the volume button while the phone rebooted (instead of shutting it down then turning it back on) but that trick didn't work either.
It's a really sweet ROM, just so nobody gets the wrong impression from all my whining thank you for it, ClearD!
To get to the bootloader from the shutdown menu, hit "Restart" then select "Bootloader" from the next menu lol.
Try the latest release, 1.3.0, which has the advanced shutdown menu cooked back in, and the radio is not included in the Rom, it must be flashed separately or else it will stay as it was. Try that and let me know what happens.

Lol I'm such a tard... found bootloader... can I just put in the disclaimer that this isn't my phone? I'm trying to help a friend, I swear...
I redownloaded the radio and the checksum is 9ad454c7ac2a9bd69d9f0a5200f089b6, which is the checksum for 26.10.04.03_M (froyo radio). I'm confused, I totally downloaded 12.62.60.27P... do u um... have the right file hosted on techsupporteverything.com... when I went into HBOOT it got mad and said I needed an update so I guess that's why I got the OTA radio. Which is fine, really the sms thing was what I wanted to fix and that's all good now but I think you may have the wrong file up.

Lol flash it and see, it should be correct though, I think...
The way the radio flashes is through hboot update, it will always ask you to update if there is any file on your microsd card named PD98IMG.zip that is valid to flash lol. I will double check though.

My phone is dying prematurely, with my camera crapped out and my usb port not fully functional. My phone can charge but it can't be recognized by a computer anymore.
I'm sending it in for a replacement, but I realized now that I can't flash back to Froyo easily. I'm stuck in CM7, and factory reset brings me back to a fresh CM7. I don't want Motorola to use the fact that I used CM7 as an excuse to charge me $300.
Can someone help me please?
you can try restore froyo nandroid backup via custom recovery...
I'll have to remenber tha latest SBF that you flashed on your devide, have a friend with a Defy, flash it on that Defy, give him your SD card to put a full nandroid backup on it ...
basically you need to restore a nandroid backup of froyo of your region since you cannot flash the full sbf. There are already nandroid backups available in xda.
If you have wifi use a simple app called Ftpdroid to copy it to your memory card and restore.
If you do not have wifi then try coping the file using a card reader and restore.

My computer does not recognize my phone when it's in Bootloader mode.
I installed the Nordic Rom to use CM7. So I need a nandroid backup. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Whenever I try to connect my phone to USB...
It says there's an error with the device. Windows 7 reports an unknown device, and error 47. That's why I believe there is something wrong with my usb port.
Progress:
I can't load into CM7 anymore, nor the stock rom. I can access the CM7 boot menu however, and go into Clockwork.
I tried a Motorola factory reset, and I tried changing the boot sequence (stock, 2nd-init, 2nd-boot) but no luck.
I'm a little stuck here guys
Have you installed USB drivers? Check all in beginners guide.

You talk about your Defy not being recognized as USB disk?
Did you disable USB Debugging? So the USB Mass Storage option can be enabled after.
The data function in my usb port isn't working, my phone cannot be recognized at all. Even with three different cables and drivers installed.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to repair the port?
Could it have water damage? If it could, let the cap open and let it rest for a couple if days. Open it up and check for visible signs of damage/corrosion. Would not do this if you are trying to claim warranty.
To restore, go to the sbf threat, there are links to the individual threats of each. Normally, you can find there the nand. Place it in the right folder and restore it with cwm. Remove the battery and go to stock recovery. Wipe cache and data. Try to remember what sbf you were on, but don't think it matters much... Don't guaranty it will work. You could try to find someone who wants to try it as they can always flash a sbf if it doesn't work.

i can help u with a nand of any sbf u want...just send me a pm or post here and in 1 hour i will upload it
just be sure u say the correct one, coz any boot cm7 version changes ur kernel, and the nand wont work
LE: after u restore the nand, just use the moto recovery, wipe data/cache so ur phone is back to stock, no root no custom recovery and u can take it to warranty
LLE: i guess i need to make a nand of the tmobile us version also so u can return it to the shop
Hmmm
Hmm but I flashed a nordic sbf. :/
I don't mind restoring nordic though, as long as there's no sign of cyanogen mod. I can replace the bootlogo and animation there.
I have used Cyan 7 for months with none of the problems you are describing. I also dont use any base and wonder why people are so pushy on using a base.
I go into recovery, Wipe all, Then install cyan then gapps.
It sounds to me you did or didnt do something during install.
Download the newest cyan 7 rom
Get into the stable recovery and wipe everything, even dalvik under advanced
Flash cyan
Flash gapps
reboot.
I promise it will work
Base doesn't matter, it gets replaced by stable releases. I think he tries to restore it to claim warrant.

I think you may have overreacted and made things worse. Sometimes my data function stops working in CM7 - it fixes itself after a warm reboot or two.
Hi guys, please help me!
My sister's phone ( i9003 as mine ) doesn't boot anymore...
It had froyo and today it stop to work...
i have tried to flash xxkpe and the xxkpq but it no boots!
Do you know any solution?
Have you tried anything such as flashing another phone's ROM? Can you access Download Mode?
It had froyo stock rom...it's my sister's phone and doesn't boot today...i don't kmow why...i tried to flash another stock but nothing, should i need to change kernel?
How have you tried to flash? If you can boot in download mode (Vol Down + Home Button (the central one) + Power button) you'll be able to flash the phone with Odin.
you say "suddenly stopped", and it won't boot, and she has the same phone as you? try swapping batteries first
if nothing is working at all and it won't go to download or recovery and it's 100% stock and still under warranty, the service center will be the best solution if swapping batteries doesn't make it work (dead battery?)
it swich on but stops in boot animation of samsung...is the phone in warranty if i have put another stock rom like xxkpq or not?
The recvery shows while i'm trying to flash another stock...
"your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format anc reboot actions."
and later "E:format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkOp3"
"data wipe failed"
those are the red one in the recovery
that's the one I hear happens all the time to those with certain hardware errors. just go tell 'em you were flashing through kies when it broke
if the homescrren doesn't apear the kies don't work...or not?
that would be my guess. I don't use kies, just installed it on my computer since it seems necessary in order to get the usb drivers.
kies wont work until the phone has completely booted

if you can go to recovery then you can do dalvik and cache wipe.... then try to go download mode and flash using odin start with KPE or KPH (i used KPH) before going to anything newer
