[Droid X General] fleggett:
This phone is about to cause me to start mainlining some serious drugs. I just do not understand what I'm doing wrong.

I have read and read and read and downloaded and downloaded and downloaded. At one point I think I had about 10 Firefox tabs open, madly switching between them trying to figure this beast out. So, I have tried to do the necessary homework before posting here.

I received a Verizon Droid X (MB810 model) and was wanting to install a 2nd-init ROM. It came with .621, which I know has been problematic in the past, but seems not to be a terribly big obstacle anymore. Here are the steps I've taken:

o I rooted the phone via the Slitaz ISO.

o Via adb, I pushed the Droid 2 (D2) reboot recovery and ROM manager (RM) APKs.

o I choose boostrap recovery in the D2 application. Superuser grants the appropriate permission.

o Within RM, I download and flash the latest CWM (5.0.2.0) based on the 2nd-init Droid X option.

o RM says that the flash is successful and Superuser rights are granted.

o From within RM, I choose the reboot into recovery option.

o The phone reboots...right back into the operating system, completely bypassing CWM. Redoing the above steps and holding down the home key just boots into the stock recovery.

Now, I can reboot into CWM from the D2 application, but I'm then confronted with the old version of CWM. I've also read where this method will screw-up the boot process to the point that installing 2nd-init ROMs won't work. I've (somewhat) verified this by trying to install the latest AOKP with the D2 version of CWM, which just endlessly loops the unicorn animation. In fact, in a thread detailing this problem on another forum, it was advised to stay far, far away from the D2 application altogether and just use RM.

I've also had to SBF back to .621 on several occasions using RSDLite 4.9.

This has been nightmarish. I spent almost the entire weekend trying to get this phone to boot into the latest CWM. Do I have to SBF the Milestone ROM in order for this to work? Is that even necessary anymore?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I'm out of ideas at this point. Thanks a bunch.

[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
did you wipe data before/after flashing SBF?

if not, that could cause issues
[Droid X General] fleggett:
Yes, I forgot to mention I did that in my OP.

I just don't understand what's going on. It's almost as if RM is lying to me about having successfully flashed the newest CWM. I say this because, when I immediately do the flash procedure after booting the phone, nothing shows up in /preinstall/recovery/ using Root Explorer (RE). It's only after I do the D2 bootstrap recovery option that /preinstall/recovery/ is populated with the CWM files. The problem is that these files represent the 2.0.5.8 version, not the 5.0.2.0 update.

To even deepen the mystery, after I did the above, I then went back into RM and reflashed to the latest CWM. I then looked at /preinstall/recovery/ again and all of the original 2.0.5.8 files were still there. There was no evidence that I could determine that RM installed anything anywhere.

I'm at a total loss.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
did you try deleting NFS Shift or Madden from the preinstall, then reflash CWM in RM?
[Droid X General] fleggett:
I just did that. RE is showing 244MB free, which I'm assuming is more than enough for RM to do its thing. I then redid the steps I outlined above and /preinstall/recovery/ still isn't populating with the 5.0.2.0 update.

This is beyond bizarre. How can RM state that it successfully flashed to the latest CWM when it doesn't appear to do anything? If RM runs into an error in the file creation process, does it report that to the user or just acts as if everything is normal?
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
i don't think you will get an error

have you tried redownloading D2 bootstrap and rom manager, from market?

have you read this? http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31737-root-droid-x-root-method-for-234-45621-does-not-require-milestone-sbf/page__st__20#entry878745
[Droid X General] blindmanpb:
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm not familiar with the Slitaz ISO.

So does that install a 2nd-init ROM? Or have you installed a 2nd-init ROM manually?

If you haven't, you shouldn't be selecting the 2nd-init recovery. Use the regular Droid X recovery, install the 2nd-init recovery only after flashing a 2nd-init ROM.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
the link was to a post that

someone was having trouble updating cwm to 5.0, and some possible fixes

as for the Slitaz ISO, is just a linux program used to run the magic md5 root method
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
found a great work around, or Tomsgt123 shows how in one of his youtube videos

If updating to 5.0.0 with Rom Manager fails

using a file manager/root browser with root access go to

/preinstall/recovery select recovery.zip rename recovery.zip.bak

then go to sd card>clockworkmod>downloads>recoveries> copy the recovery.zip that has ‘shadow.zip’ in properties

go back to /preinstall/recovery and paste recovery.zip

[Droid X General] fleggett:

[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
Slitaz ISO, is just a linux program used to run the magic md5 root method

no it does not install a rom

you only need to update cwm if you want to restore a nandroid backup of a 2nd init rom,

most 2nd init roms come with their own bootstrap, found in the reboot options

you shouldn't install bootstrap or update cwm unless the rom does not install bootstrap
[Droid X General] fleggett:
Sorry for the previous "test test test". The forum wasn't letting me post anything until I realized I'm under the ten post threshold and I was trying to quote text that had links.

Thanks, sd_shadow, for the extremely helpful pointers. Unfortunately, I no longer have the phone in my possession, but I might be getting another one to play with soon. I'll let you know if I run into the same problems after applying your potential fixes. Thanks again!
[Droid X General] fleggett:
I'm ecstatic to report that the this alternative method by Tomsgt123 worked! Here is what I wound-up doing, from start to 5.0.2.0 finish.

First the facts, all taken from settings -> About phone

System version: 4.5.621.MB810.Verizon.en.US

Model number: DROIDX

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: BP_C_01.09.15P

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g1282440 (mcbk83@il93lnxdroid08 #1)

Build number: 4.5.1_57_DX8-51

ERI version: 5

PRL version: 58012

Bootloader: 30.04

1. Obtain SliTaz GNU/Linux (3.0) root ISO in preparation to root phone. File I used is named Droid2_D2G_DX_DX2-RootCD-2012.iso.

2. Burn SliTaz ISO to bootable media.

3. Enter Windows and boot phone normally.

4. Ensure USB debugging is enabled via the settings -> Application settings -> Development -> USB debugging checkbox.

5. Connect phone to computer via USB cable.

6. Drag from top of phone and select the USB connection -> Charge Only radio button.

7. Boot computer via SliTaz.

8. Choose option 3 (Root Droid X) and follow onscreen directions to the letter, including putting phone in bootloader mode.

9. Boot phone normally and invoke Superuser. Immediately exit Superuser. (This step probably isn't necessary.)

10. Install Droid 2 Bootstrapper (D2B), ROM Manager (RM), and Root Explorer (RE) on phone (I used adb).

11. Invoke D2B and choose Bootstrap Recovery. When done, exit D2B.

12. Make sure phone is connected to internet.

13. Invoke RM and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Current Recovery should be 5.0.2.0.

14. Choose 3rd option, Motorola Droid X (2nd-init).

15. Tap Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Wait until recovery files are downloaded and flashed, then exit RM.

16. Invoke RE and navigate to /preinstall/recovery.

17. Rename recovery.zip to recovery.zip.bak.

18. Still within RE, navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries.

19. Press and hold on recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-shadow.zip and copy the file.

20. Navigate back to /preinstall/recovery and paste the above file.

21. Rename the above pasted file to recovery.zip.

22. Exit out of RE and return to RM. Tap Reboot into Recovery and hit OK at the "Are you sure...?" prompt.

23. Phone should reboot into the 5.0.2.0 version of CWM.

Thanks again, sd_shadow. Without the above "manual" method, I would never have gotten the 5.0.2.0 version of CWM onto this phone. Now, time to play!

[Droid X General] fleggett:
And guess what? All those previous steps I carefully and deliberately outlined have been rendered obsolete by one, small apk:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25017-ro...workmod-flashable-updates-by-ky/page__st__190

(Still can't post links...yet.)

This is the Droid X Bootstrapper 621 MOD (DXB621). Functionally, it is the same as the old D2B except for two huge and critical features:

1. It contains CWM 5.0.2.0 out-of-the-box.

2. It works without having to do the aforementioned file manipulation inside RE.

Because of the above, it negates the need for RM (and D2B) entirely. I immediately installed DXB621 on my freshly SBF'd and rooted Droid X (see previous stats) and it worked flawlessly.

After all this, I'm convinced there is something wrong with RM as it relates to the Droid X with .621 already installed, whether via the OTA update or via SBF.

As a big bonus, after some finagling, I was also able to install HijackedBootMenu 1.1.5 621 1.1, which is a real gift, since it allows booting into CWM (or RZR) without having to first boot the phone to use either D2B, RM, or DXB621 itself.

So, the moral of this long and windy story is to simply use DXB621 for your recovery needs, don't mess with D2B and RM, and don't look back.

[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
nice find

I had seen that thread before, too bad the modified bootstrap isn't noted in first post, but page 20 of 110

I tried it on my D2 a955, and was able to to boot to cwm 5.0

so I will add it to my list.
[Droid X General] fleggett:
Yeah, getting any bootstrap to work on a Droid is the first step (after rooting) in doing much of anything, and using the most recent CWM seems to be required for all the latest and greatest ROMs, so it really should be somewhere on page 1 of that monster thread. I only stumbled across it via dumb luck.

I've run into a bizarre issue, though. With the phone connected to a running computer via USB, it won't boot into either CWM or RZR from Hijacked BootMenu (HB). Once you hit either recovery option, it just goes to a (slightly lit) black screen and stays there. The power button doesn't work at that point, so it requires a battery pull.

A clue as to what's going on might be that Windows recognizes the device when HB runs. It's only when I disconnect the cable before booting the phone that either recoveries invoke normally. Very strange.

I currently have CMKang.b3 loaded on the phone. I was pleasantly surprised to see that both the Camera and Torch apps work just fine, as I thought both were inoperable under CM9. This specific build is 9-20130120-UNOFFICIAL-shadow.

[Droid X General] IndyRoadie:
THANK YOU! I was having a similar problem as the OP, and this FINALLY fixed it!
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
also take a look at the modified d2 bootstrap that has been upgraded to cwm 5.0

will save a few steps if you have to reinstall

edit: I have rewritten my instructions here

[HOW TO] Install/Use Droid 2 Bootstrap
[Droid X General] kb8no:
The modified Bootstrap is the trick. Straight to CWM 5.0. Took me a long time to figure out that ROM manager appears to update CWM but does not work. I found ROM manager to be of no use or value at all to me and don't install it or delete it.
[Droid X General] sonicomega:
Got 11 Open

Looking for an answer myself. Currently trying to install using Rom Manager then using button presses to get into Recovery. Will post update shortly.
[Droid X General] sd_shadow:
updating cwm using Rom Manager, is unreliable and only works sometimes

just use the modified Droid X bootstrap or the Droid 3 bootstrap, both work well.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] EricErb:
I've been trying out some roms... I did The Base, restored to stock, followed by Slick, restored to stock, finally GINSIX.

Ginsix had a few qwerks so I decided to restore. The very first time I went back to stock after The Base, I got the MD5 mismatch thing, I followed the directions on how to delete it and create a new one from the command line... No big deal. Worked Perfectly. NOW HOWEVER, I have 3 backups (one after each restore) I get the MD5 mismatch for all of them even after recreating them. tried each of them 3 times even verified that it was creating the files with TotalCommander. So I decided to flash to stock with LGNPST. I downloaded it and followed the directions on the #lg-optimus-g irc channel but All of the options on LGNPST are greyed out and inaccessible. So What Do I Do? Thanks Everybody for helping me.

SOLVED!!!

I was using CWM v6.0.1.2 I upgraded it to v6.0.2.7 Touch v14.4.7 available with instructions HERE

After Rebooting to Recovery I disabled the md5 check... extras > misc nadroid setting > Toggle md5 checksum

After that it was a restore as usual. No issues.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Neroga:
Turn off md5 check.

I was using the original non-touch but after upgrading to sk8's I figured it out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Hey folks. I'm trying to flash Cyanogenmod to my Nexus 7 running 4.2.1. I am rooted and unlocked. I downloaded the nightly 10.1 as well as the stable 10.0 along with Gapps. Flashing both with Clockworkmod recovery gets me stuck in a bootloop with both options, forcing me to restore to my backup.

This is my first time flashing a rom on this device, but I didn't wipe it or anything. Just flashed from my current setup. I'm wondering if I should restore to factory on my current first? Am I missing any steps in this process? I'd like to be able to just tap and install if possible. I had bad experiences with flashing when I had my Galaxy Captivate.

I appreciate any help with this. I have gone through several forums and threads, but none seem to be device or situation specific so I thought I would bring up this specific situation. Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
You left out the "how you flashed" part. If you were using something such as ROM Manager, it may have wiped for you. But typically, for manual flashing from the recovery you need to do a "factory reset" procedure prior to installing a new rom. (A wipe which erases everything in /data except what is /data/media)

I've used a CM10.1 nightly and sequentially flashing the gapps, no troubles. Perhaps different versions though, the devil is always in the details.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
I flashed using Clockwork Recovery, both manually and from the app itself. Neither provided a solution.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
I'd also like to point out that I'm confused about why a factory reset would help this situation. If the new install is just writing over the boot, why should it matter?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
It doesn't just write over the boot.

/data is where all your downloaded apps, settings, and databases are...

Do a factory reset in cwm and cm will boot. It's that simple
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JavaMac:
Success! TY.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] dope110:
Hello.

I bought my lg optimus l9 about a month ago and due to only 2.3gb of internal memory I can not move apps and games from phone memory to micro SD. Because of that my usage on this phone is limited.

I have tried to root it and have followed many online guides and videos but I just cant get it done.

My phone is kernel 3.0.21 and software version is P76010h-EUR-XX.

I would be so thankful to anyone who could lead me to the right direction and could help me get this phone rooted and apps moved to micro SD.

I know I can move them manually when the phone is connected with USB to PC, but isnt there a way I could move them in my phone, like my previous x10 mini had the Move to SD Card chance enabled, but in my new phone there is no such button or whatever.

I have also tried apps such as Link2SD but it doesent work, I believe that the device needs to be rooted and I cant get it done.

I have installed PC suite to my PC and followed root guides, I run the Bat file, do everything correctly, the phone restarts but there is no super user and also Root Checker app shows that my device is not rooted.

I feel so dissapointed in this phone beacause I can only keep limited apps and games on the phone due to low memory capacity.

If I could get this phone rooted and then mayby the Link2SD will help me get my apps and games moved to SD card, I would be so happy.

So please, if there is anyone who could help me, I would really need it beacause I am helpless at the moment and dont know what to do anymore.:confused:

[HD2 General] toto99303:
Hi guys, after 48 hours of excessive research and trials and errors I've found a way to flash NBH roms to a friend of mine's HD2 which has corrupt model ID (some strange symbols in place of the model ID in bootloader screen). Unfotunatelly his device has hardware problems so even I flashed it, It was not fixed.

Anyway I've decided to post this here, so everyone with this problem can use the solution to flash their devices.

Note: you must have HSPL (installed before the corruption) or goldcard (not tested with goldcard) for this to work.

So the problem is RUU flasher shows error 244: Invalid model id. It's because of the corrupt ID. What can be done? In short:

Make NBH with matching ID :)

1. Mtty -> info 0

2. Copy model ID symbols (you should paste exactly the same symbols in txt file!!)

3. Use YANG to extract files from any rom/radio NBH. (http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/wiki/YANG)

4. Use YANG to create back the custom NBH with your corrupt model ID. (use exactly the same symbols for model ID !!)

5. Flash NBH with RUU flasher, or SD card. (I prefer SD card because you can see more details)

Note 2: If you're flashing a device with HSLP DO NOT INCLUDE SPL NB file in the NBH !!!

I've tested this even with MAGLDR 1.13 and it flashes well.

So far the only sollution to this problem was JTAG, I hope this will change. Please give feedback in this topic for any success/no success, and also for goldcard with regular SPL.

Have fun!
