[Motorola Droid X2] Disention:
Hello, I've been using my old x2 as my PDA/MP3 player. I also have put custom ROM on it because... It's fun!!

What's not fun is my locked up phone, here's what occurred... I tried to sbf my phone and received an error flashing (had all correct Motorola drivers/rsd lite. So as it failed and never even cleared out my phone I decided to use my iso boot disk instead. The disk came up, ran normal, said flashing was complete..... nightmare began....

Now I cannot boot into recovery New/old. I can't boot the phone. I can't do anything. The phone starts, I get the Motorola dual core screen (can't hold volume keys to get to rsd/fastboot/etc. The phone will get to the point of booting but will come up with screen which says...

"Failed to boot number 4"

"Starting rsd....."

Then when I go into try anything rsd (iso disk or rsd lite) the phone will either shut off right away and loop sometimes to same screen. Or it will come back when plugged into pc saying battery (which is fully charged) is to low to flash....

I'm going crazy...

Are there any other restore tactics?

I can't erase battery stats because I have no recovery... I've always followed instructions and flash roms for nearly every manufacturer of phones over the years. I am stumped....
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
First, make sure the battery is charged up. You can't RSD without at least 20% battery. Simply plug it in and let it charge, then try again after about an hour.

Also, make sure you are using the correct SBF file. It could've been a bad download, or worse you flashed one for another phone.

I've had nothing but trouble RSDLite and personally only use sbf_flash. So using the iso boot disk is recommended by me.
[Motorola Droid X2] Disention:
Yes, I agree that rsd lite will never again be the way I go. The disk had been much handier. Only problem is that I was out of disks, I was also without my CD in the office. I have done plenty of rsd reboot/reflash. Didn't expect this which is why I then went, got my CD, tried again.

Strange thing is the disk is what brought the issue I have at hand to light. So...

I really appreciate the insight for future occurrence avoidance.

How would you suggest fixing problem at hand?

The battery is full charge... It's that 2.3.5 battery glitch still coming back to light. The battery should be full. Now I end up in that strange loop, I don't even know if my battery is now charging or not...

Ugh... I really wish I could figure out exactly where I went wrong as well.

Thanks again for the response!
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
So you still only have access to RSD on the phone? Or did it accept the SBF? I'm thinking that you flashed another phone's sbf file.
[Motorola Droid X2] Disention:
Yes, if you could re-read my first post for sake of my key stroke would be great. The phone does not boot I'll try and snap a quick pic with other phone and show what happens. This is only thing which happens in a complete loop... can't get into new or old restore/bootstrap. Can't get it to load any of the basic rsd menu options. If I plug into pc it tells me battery is not charged enough. Or just shuts down with disk or boot CD. It's insane!

It's most definitely the RIGHT folder. All of my phone have their own nearly organized files. None of them flash the same way. Droid X2, HTC EVO 4G, Galaxy Nexus..... Yeah, I know the files ok but good thought!
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
Have you tried to turn the phone off, put it directly into RSD mode then run RSD program with the correct SBF file?
[Motorola Droid X2] Disention:
That's the problem, I never can "put" it in to rsd mode. I start the phone simply by plugging it in it automatically boot into that loop. Nothing I've found will load such as restore, boot loader, etc.

When it says it's going into rsd, it either turns itself off when in that phase and I start rsd. Or it will give me an error stating battery is not charged enough (it's got a full charge, already tested with multimeter)
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
If you got a spare charger around can jerry rig it. If you know what im talking about. If that don't work with the battery issue then if your under contract I'd go get a replacement. Do it by phone as they will not check your device once you send it back.
[Motorola Droid X2] Disention:
I've got plenty of spare charger...

What do you mean "Jerry rig" though?
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
Cut the end off that plugs into your phone, then use the ground and hot wire inside the power cord. Put them on the correct ends of the battery without touching the others, can tape them to it then put the battery back in the phone making sure the wires don't move or touch anything else. Then have the one with wires on your battery plugged into the wall, the usb from your phone to your computer then turn RSD on your phone, then try to SBF it. If you still get that arrow do the other option and call and get a replacement. Ive saved a many of phones doing the jerry rigging of the charge. But if it works and you can SBF then when the steps are complete undo the wires and walla.
[Motorola Droid X2] Disention:
I like it!

Let me get some stuff together and put this to the test!

I'll post my results!

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] germmeetsworld:
This is the EXACT thing that happened to me about to weeks ago when trying to SBF back to 2.3.4, a task that I've done many times.

I got the "failed to boot" etc screen that you have. Basically I kept trying to SBF (it still wasn't working) and eventually I got the "battery too low to flash" screen.

Since the battery wasn't actually charging at all because of this weird boot screen, I had to drive down to my local RadioShack where they had some device that would charge ANY battery. It was sweet, AND they let me use it for free at their store. So they popped my X2 battery in and I went to the nearest bookstore to get some work done. Came back two hours later and my battery was charged.

But that's all besides the point. Basically what I did to fix it was I kept trying to SBF and eventually it worked. I downloaded another 2.3.4 sbf file to make sure (even though I've used the same file many times) and I even downloaded a 2.3.5 sbf file and began "alternating" between the three in rsd lite, hoping that one of them would "catch". Eventually I believe my original 2.3.4 file caught and my droid was back to normal.

Sorry for your troubles! This problem sucked and it freaked me out a lot when it happened. But I think you'll be fine. Don't worry too much about it like I did!;)
[Motorola Droid X2] NeoH4x0r:
I have had problems with my DroidX2 not staying charged while being plugged-in to the a usb port on the computer ... I had to use a usb wall-wart for consistent chargeing.

So, if your battery is haveing trouble staying charged (or not) try connecting it to a usb wall-wart and let it charge for at least a couple (~2) hours.

Also, how old is the battery? (I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with you issue, but it could affect chargeing and battery-life)

The following steps can also be seen here -or- see the original sbf/rsd instructions (note: the sbf files are not available at this time)

[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
Wondering if this is working for everyone? On my ALIE firmware the feature doesnt seem to function as described, i.e., my eyes/face rotating 45 degrees does not cause the screen to rotate at all.
[Galaxy Note II General] snakkarike:
keep the phone on a flat surface and rotate ur head it should work

press thanks if this helped
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
i wish it was that simple. Just doesnt work.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
What are you trying to do?

Smart rotate is just for 90 degrees. Imho, it is for people lying down.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
Smart rotate doesn't check if your head rotated or not at random times, it only checks your heads/eyes position when the phone is rotated 90° (in other words, whenever the phone is supposed to rotate, it does an extra check before doing so)
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
Doesn't these face detection gimmicks like smart rotate and smart stay use gobs of battery power since the front camera is active e?
[Galaxy Note II General] iwin2000:
could be that your face is too ugly or disfigured for the feature to recognize it. sorry
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
LMAO hahahahaha. I shouldnt be laughing cause were not suppose to flame each other but I burst out laughing when I read this.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
It only checks every now and then.

In fact, I bet it only checks when the phone is rotated.

Regardless, the amount of power used by a quick camera check is minimal compared to the power needed to light the screen.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II General] astagg:
Can confirm on mine, that this is to stop the screen rotating when you yourself rotate with the phone, for example when lying down.

It would seem it only checks when the screen attempts to rotate (you see an eye icon in the notification bar briefly). I do believe that this actually causes a slight delay when you do want to rotate the screen as it will need to do the check first.
[Galaxy Note II General] sonhy:
i believe it needs to have a good clean shot of your face in portrait mode first, then it can detect your 2 eyes turning to landscape and thus do a rotate.

I need this feature when in bed at night (for reading mostly) but it doesnt work in the dark so its totally useless for me.

Samsung should have put in a small low power Infrared LED (which is a light source cameras can see but humans only see a dim red light) - this would have made the feature work in all situations or at least work in most situations.
[Galaxy Note II General] apprentice:
Check the phone in complete darkness .. there is a very feint red light emitted from the sensor area!
[Galaxy Note II General] programatix:
Mine would rotate normally whether I enabled or disabled the option. When I rotate the phone, the eye icon would appear on the notification bar. It takes about 1 to 3 seconds, and then it rotate no matter where I'm pointing the front camera to. It would even rotate in the dark.
[Galaxy Note II General] Olaeli:
Yeah, I've noticed that too.

Is it some kind of IR-light?
[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
This feature is a hit and a miss.. really annoying when watching an youtube video.. even before enabling this feature samsung warned about lag or slow screen rotation... probably they might be working on this feature and might release an update fix soon...

Firstly... Am no new to this thing... The reason am posting this question is that with so many ways to ROOT the SGS-2, am really hardbricked in my head :eek:

Please pardon me if this is something i shouldn't be asking here... :angel:

Alright now...

But now... Am not able to do that with my SGS-2 running the Stock Firmware XWLP7 (4.0.3) i bought lately using the same method... :crying:

So... If anybody could just be kind enough to help me root my device... I actually want the CWM installed root...!!! :confused:

Relax pal, its damn simple:

As you said, you also want CWM, so your best bet is to flash an already rooted with permanent cwm kernel,a very good contestant of this is Siyah kernel.

Just download it (www.gokhanmoral.com), flash it through odin and you will instantly gain cwm+root.

Let me know if you encounter any further issues :)

Videofile from DVD

Extract the video from the DVD. Most easy to do this with DVD Shrink.

Just open the disc with the app, select Re-author and pin out the VOB-file containing your video-piece.

Resize and crop the video

Download VirtualDub and the mpeg2-plugin (this will enable editing VOB-files and other mpeg2 files).

Open the videofile

Set selection start and end (the video piece you want).

Fastforward into the video to find out if the video is interlaced. If so, add deinterlace video filter.

Did you grab a VOB-file from a 16:9 DVD, the video-image needs to be ajusted to the right format. Add the resize videofilter, disable aspect ratio, leave width to 720 and set the height to 402. (ignore the lower part of the screenshot with the Letterbox-settings, this sould just be left to Do noting for now)

The screen of the X10M/P is 240 x 320, so you now needs to find out what part of the videoimage you want.

- If you want the full height of the video, then add a resize videofilter, select relative and set height to 320.

- If it's just the center of the existing video (cutting away what is outside 240 x 320 at the center), then add a new resize videofilter, select Letterbox/crop to size 320 x 240 (this can also be set in the same videofilter that resized to 720 x 402).

- If you do not just want the center part of the videoimage you needs to do some cropping. Add null transform videofilter, and click the Cropping button next to the filter-list.

Add offsets (what to cut away all the way around) untill the videosize is 240 x 320.

Now the video is ready to be transformed.

In Video - Compression, select uncompressed. In Audio, select No audio.

Then save as AVI.

Transform the video to PNG-sequence

I preffere to use my old-old-old ProCoder 3. Other apps can do it just as good.

Add the resized video to Source.

Add Image Sequence to Target (any one will do, as we will edit it)

Set Basename to "000"

Set width and height to 240 x 320.

Change Exporter Settings to PNG, 5 frames per second (ajust fps to the speed of your animation), and remove the check-box for space in filename.

The output will be a PNG sequence in the format 00001.png .... 000nn.png

Now follow the [TUTORIAL]How to make your own boot animations
