Good morning all you experts!

I need to return my phone back to "stock" I've done a bit of poking around. But, I can't seem to find a thread or link to explain how to get it back to stock.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a ton!
[Droid X General] Brillntred06:
So I was on Liberty 1.5 running the galaxy theme and I couldn't update some of my apps, someone on these forums said it was most likely due to the theme. I save a backup of the original stock liberty ROM I loaded and proceeded to restore that ROM. Everything went fine, but now I can't reply to emails with my google account, but I can receive email. Any ideas?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
On the first page of my guide there is a section titled: SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?

Search for this, it tells you how to sbf. Or you can google, there are several guides
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I have not heard of this particular problem before. Have you tried removing the account and re-adding it?
[Droid X General] Brillntred06:
I ended up clearing data and cache in the gmail accounts which seemed to do the trick. I'm still not able to update my facebook app, but all the other ones seem to go through fine.
[Droid X General] excarnate:
I did it, it worked, Thanks button clicked!

I followed the directions carefully, it all went well. I installed Rubix 2.0.1 and my wife's Droid X is now nicer than my phone :-(

Oh well, inspired, I go to try several different ROMs on my MT4G!
[Droid X General] shukero:
love how it says that it's 95% original yet the app draw as well as other things are 100% moto LOL, uninstalled this the second after I installed it.

Now how do I get back the default motorola startup icon?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
This is a .bin file, but I can't remeber off the top of my head where it goes. If you are using Rubix/Liberty/GummyJar 2.5 I believe you can install Liberty Toolbox from the Market and use that to change your boot logo. I'm not sure if the Toobox is compatible with ROMs like Fission or Tranquility, as I believe they use a different base for their source.

Here is a tool from P3droid and teamBlackHat to change your bootlogo

Hi

I recently got the droid x for my birthday, and now i'm in the market to root it. I was going through the guide until i got to the part of the droid x usb drivers.

i have 2 questions:

1) the link to the usb drivers has usb drivers for (in my case) 64 bit windows, and down below, PC driver 1 and 2. Should i just use the top option?

2) is this part necessary?

Thanks!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Yes, I would grab the option for the 64 bit drivers. I havent had to do a new setup in a while, but give it a try
[Droid X General] Ben's:
I thought I would just post in here. It's not a big deal but thought I would bring to light.

Does anyone have a shutter on their Droid X's camera? I don't have one and neither do the people I know have one. (Four to be exact) Mine is just a couple months old if that and the others are about 4-6 months old.

I was scrolling through craigslist a few days back and stumbled upon an ad for a DX and the seller included a picture of the camera. I was like, wtf! How come I don't have a shutter! Did shutters come on the first released models? I’ve ran most ROMs and stock as well and the camera is always exposed.

Not only does it have a shutter, but does it look like it's missing the top glass peice? Maybe that's why is has the shutter? I didn't know they made different version of the DX.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I have never seen one like this either and have seen about 5-6 otger Dx's.
[Droid X General] Ben's:
Answer!

After doing a little research, this is what I have found.

The shutter is "open" till you take a picture then it closes to take the picture (fast) and opens back up again. Interesting!

I tried it out on my DX and indeed there is a mechanical shutter! I never knew that! All this talk about a mechanical shutter on reviews and websites but I never bothered to look at the camera while taking a picture to see the shutter in action. I thought it was on newer models that they might have done away with it.

So, the picture is that of a broken shutter and a busted camera on a DX! I feel bad for the person who bought that DX :o
[Droid X General] Jibboman:
so, i just rooted my droid x with blur-less darkslide 4.2

Is there a way to get back the ability to sync yahoo and exchange emails?
[Droid X General] toddman:
Awesome Guide, you've helped out a lot of people.

Once Key item you may want to add is mentioning that the phone needs to be in Debug mode under Settings/Applications/Development "USB Debugging". This is also why some users are not finding their device with the: adb device command.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
thank you for the tip, I will update this.
[Droid X General] hartman85:
Apology in advance..

Hello to everyone at XDA...

I apologize in advance.. but I have a mac.. i know i know.. i'm completely foreign to this, but i'm really interested in rooting my Droid X. I can follow directions well, and I'd like to consider myself somewhat tech savy, but this is unknown territory for me. Can anyone start me off in the right right direction (without telling me to sell my mac, lol...) Appreciate all your help in advance..

Jon
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEg59w0mIms&feature=youtube_gdata_player here is a visual aid for how to root dx using z4root it also has a file link in the description. Also there os a tut at begining of this thread.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
As owenbeals has stated, use z4root. Just download the app and put it on your phone (I think it is in my first post), and then run it on your phone. Will root the phone without the need of a pc/mac
[Droid X General] hartman85:
worked perfectly :) thanks so much!
[Droid X General] Brillntred06:
so my camera button decided to stop working this morning. Is there any other way to select options in clockwork recovery or do I have to SBF in order to take the phone back to Verizon to get a new one (I've had the phone for less than a month). How else can I flash the maderstcock.zip?

If I can select the maderstcock.zip through the clockword ROM manager and flash it that way, how then would I select to reboot since my camera button doesn't work? Is there a way to reboot the phone in recovery or can I just pull the battery? Would pulling the battery after maders cause me to have a paper weight?
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
You gotta have camera button for clockwork. Youll need to sbf and visit vzw.
[Droid X General] Brillntred06:
Verizon is overnighting a new phone as we speak and I ended up doing an SBF on the phone. Didn't work the first time, and the second time I ended up in a boot loop with the liberty logo. Pulled the battery, made it into moto recovery and was able to factory reset.....phone acts like nothing ever happened now.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Sweet do they want the old one back if not how much do u want for it :)
[Droid X General] amaurynieto:
My Friend, I need this exact file. Can you dropbox it to me? Will PM Details.

I have the exact same phone and build you do. To confirm, if I flash this SBF file I shouldn't lose anything, right? I have UBuntu 10.10 on my Laptop installed, (i never use windows).

(o si tienes whatsapp anademe cincuenta y cinco catorce seis siete cincuentayocho cincuenta y cuatro.) TKu!!!

I have to send it back within ten days or I'll be charged full price. Phone works fine now, even though the camera button doesn't work. Got the new one yesterday, waited until this morning to activate cause verizon was having issue all night, and now im back on liberty waiting for the new release tomorrow.

To the guy above who asked about being on a mac. If you google mac, adb, and xda you should find a thread that shows how to set it all up on a mac. Worked great for me! But you really don't need it for rooting and such.
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
Yea these days u can do just about any mod super easily from your phone, only thing you need pc for is sbf and now we have maderstock.zip
[Droid X General] marculous:
Yup, the only time I connect my droid x to the laptop is to move big media files to the sd card. I have rooted and rommed, installed backed up - everything straight from the device. Still haven't tried sbf or madderstock though. Maybe I should look into that. I make nandroid and titanium backups, but I don't know if that's enough should I mess up the phone. Currently running spb mobile shell over apex 1.4.1 and I like changing boot animation.

Liberty Boot Animation

SysAdmin-

I posted in February about working with Liberty on my X, specifically after dropping liberty and having issues with it still lingering. Thanks to a new job, I have been MIA and haven't had time to work on my phone.

Anyway, I am running rooted 2.2.1 (stock) now. My issue is that when I boot, instead of the motorola "M" logo, I have "LIBERTY". Then it goes to the "DROID" then Droid Eye animation. Any chance you may be able to help? Hope it helps the guide!
[Droid X General] debuf007:
Agreed. This was exactly what I needed!
[Droid X General] marculous:
I had the same problem when I switched from liberty to apex. Solution was flash stock moto image replacer zip via clockwork - you can find the link in these forums, I would post it but I no longer have it. Currently using honeycomb boot animation, myself. Hope this helps.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Here is a link to the original M logo:

Then use this post from P3Droid to replace your boot logo.

[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:

[Droid X General] SynysterX:
So do I need to deodex my phone before putting a ROM on?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Nope a ROM will come deodexed.
[Droid X General] SynysterX:
Thanks. So I can just follow the instructions for liberty installation or another ROM of my choice?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Correct, just be sure to read the install instructions for the ROM.
[Droid X General] myotheralt:
I have everything downloaded correctly, but I cannot get adb to see my droid x. It can see my droid 1 though.

Never mind. I re-downloaded the usb drivers from Motorola instead of Verizon. It works now.

How to do a data wipe?

Hi,

Several times in the guide there is mention of something to the effect of do a data wipe/reset.

How is that done on a Droid X? Is it an application? Reboot to Factory? Settings choices?

Thanks.
[Droid X General] gbrhusker:
Flashed Liberty 1.5 and went to reboot. Comes up with a boot animation that says Liberty and has an eagle. Won't go any farther than that. Help?

Does anyone know if this method will work for a DX2 as far as rooting?

Thanks in advance.

Mod edit: this question belongs in android general until a dx2 forum is added.

Has anyone ever had trouble with SDK not recognizing java on the computer?

im new to this and following this guide, im currently at the first phase where im trying to install SDK but everytime its saying i need java.

I installed and checked my control panel i have the latest JDK for java. The java installer im using is called jdk-6u25-windows-i586.exe downloaded straight from the oracle.java website. my computer is a 32bit windows7 and im not sure why the SDK installer isnt recognizing it.

Any ideas?

thanks for your time
[Droid X General] SuperDeform:
this is some informative info great thread!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
To do a factory reset/data wipe:

if non-rooted:

1) you need to either boot into stock recovery (done by holding down the home key while pressing the power button

2) when the android figure comes up, press the search key and it will boot to stock recovery

3) use volume up/down buttons to manuever, press the camera button to select on the wipe data option

if rooted:

1) use koush's bootstrap reocovery (aka Droid X Bootstrap) and reboot to recovery.

2) use volume up/down buttons to manuever, press the camera button to select on the wipe data option
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Plug the phone into the wall charger, then pull the battery and put the battery back in. when it powers up, it should boot into Droid X bootstrap recovery. Use the camera up/down button to maneuver the cursor and the camera button to select and go to wipe data. Then reboot the phone. You will probably need to re-flash Liberty 1.5 at this point, as I think the ROM installs some stuff to the /data partition... not 100% on this, but you may have issues if you don't reflash. i have had this issue before.

My guess (and I'm not blaming you) is that you may not have wiped data before flashing liberty, which can cause this to happen.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Did you accept the default install location for the jdk? I know there are issues with the 64bit jdk not being recognized, but the 32bit should not have issues.
[Droid X General] ka911:
hi guys,

I need a small help over here! I had a problem with my phone and I had to send it to be fixed. everything went ok until I got new phone. My new Droid X has 2.2.1 with System version Verizon.2.3.340. My issue is I can't root my phone any more! I have tried every methods out there with out luck. z4root, and One-Click root doesn't work.

With my old Droid I used z4root and rooted with out any problem!

Any idea?

Thanks
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
If you are on 2.3.340 you should be able to use z4root. That is what I have always used to root the phone. If it isn't working with the radio enabled (you can make calls) then try putting the phone in airplane mode first. Then try running z4root. I had to do this the last time I sbf'ed my phone and need to re-root.

If that doesn't work, reboot, then put in airplane mode and try again.
[Droid X General] ka911:
Many thanks SysAdmin-X for your reply! however Still no luck! I did all the steps you have post above but no luck!!

I have put my phone on Airplane mode and then run z4root. No good

restart my phone(still in Airplane mode) and then run z4root. Still no good

I know something has been changed from that last phone I had but I can't find what is it!

PS: I found out that my Basedband version BP_C_0109.07P. Do you think this will stop z4root from rooting my Phone?
[Droid X General] ithorien:
Hello folks-

I have a DX and when I got the phone it was still on Eclair. I rooted it with an old one click solution, things were solid. I unrooted for Froyo OTA, then re-rooted with z4.

Now gingerbread is upon us, and I'm trying to figure out what's best for me. I can't really afford a replacement, so trying to be super careful. So just for clarification, Froyo official OTA, 2.3.340 with z4root.

Q1: The 2 file method calls for installing the d2bootstrap. Will this app allow for a proper nandroid backup? (Never done one before) and how does a nandroid backup work? Is it just like a OS image, or do I need anything else? (I also have Titanium installed and backing up stuff)

Q2: With d2bootstrap and the 2 files installed, do you have to install anything else? The guide in the mydroidworld thread isn't super noob friendly so I figured I'd ask here.

I could wait for OTA and then wait for a root method, but I figure we probably won't get another OTA on the DX, ever, so I'm considering this method.

My technical knowledge is pretty solid, but I'm not exactly Linux smart. All this stuff is pretty chinese to me but I follow directions well.

Anyway, thanks in advance!
[Droid X General] 1dtms:
Hmm its weird I use the .zip instead of the .exe version and then it worked.

Thanks!

So now im on the next step, which is installing Droid X Bootstrap.

So I just wanna test my understanding,

right now I have a Droid X with

System Version 2.3.340.MB810

Android Version 2.2.1

The ONLY thing ive done so far is rooting it using z4 as instructions listed in the first post.

Now what im trying to do next is install a ROM

So please correct me if i understand this wrong

since im already at stock firmware and havent touched anything except root, if I install Droid X Bootstrap and make a back up, Is it correct to say I no longer need to the SBF/RSD step?

because after i install my custom ROM I can just use Droid X Bootstrap to go back to original settings right?

did i get that right and is it safe for me to move on to my next step and install a custom ROM?
[Droid X General] eck0cn:
Hi I was wondering if I could use the first method to deodex my dx which i just updated to GB .596 with root even though it says 2.3.340 only. Will something go wrong? And if I can't, what do I do?
[Droid X General] ka911:
Finally it's out by Verizon to public, just got it and running very smooth! But I still can't Root it :(
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
Thanks for the information! I tried to use maderstock, and the file was corrupted, even though it was the same size, it bricked my phone }:^(

I'm using RSDlite right now to flash back to 3.3.340. Hopefully it works. If not, I'm SOL...
[Droid X General] ka911:
Good luck Galaxy80. I had to flash back to 3.3.340 to get the upgrade, but I'm not sure what have been changed and my phone can't be root it any more. For now I need to have my phone I'll wait for good easy root appe.
[Droid X General] im_on_fire:
disappointing. hopefully a root will be out before the newness of gingerbread wears off
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
After bricking my phone with a corrupted Maderstock, I had to try RSDlite 3 times before it worked. I kept running into the problem of it saying to manually boot the phone and getting stuck at that message. I ended up googling that message after getting frustrated the 3rd time trying to install the sbf and found out that if you have that problem, all you have to do is unplug the phone, don't stop RSDlite at all, battery pull, turn phone back on into recovery with volume buttons+camera button+power, plug the phone back in, and it will finish the process automatically. I wish I would have known that the first time I tried and ran into that problem lol. But now I know, and knowing is half the battle...

After I finished sbf, I did a factory wipe. After that, I booted up, activated the phone, made sure the Google location tracking services were OFF this time, and got prompted to update to Gingerbread OTA lol..
[Droid X General] rruready:
Ths really good info!
[Droid X General] marculous:
3 part zip? I don't think I wiped anything before, but idk for sure -there is an actual guide on another forum if you google it.

My friend updated to android 2.3.3 build 4.5.1_57_DX5-27. He lost root. Can he get root back by following this method again?
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
If you mean he took the OTA update, the only way to get root is to SBF back to froyo, then either root or install p3droid's pre-rooted GB.
[Droid X General] neotoky:
I want to ask the same question as post 256. I want to root my uncle's droid x but he has the ota gingerbread. So I have to get his phone back to froyo then install gingerbread roms? Isn't there a root process just for gingerbread? Thanks.

1. yes

2. there is but it doesnt work for the droid x ota gingerbread

[Droid X General] razorloves:
depends what version android you have
[Droid X General] razorloves:
just use z4root. its simple.

turn on usb debugging, install app. run it. press permanent root. and watch it do it's magic. if it doesnt work the first time, reboot phone and try again.

[Droid X General] Codiusprime:
I have a question:

My fiance has a DX, when one of the leaked versions of GB leaked she went ahead and updated because she thought it was the final one. Now, I have never been able to get RSD lite to work on my computer, even back when I was rocking the Droid it wouldn't work.

I see that in the second post it says he has created an update.zip for the latest official gingerbread build for the phone. Her phone is completely stock and now in a boot loop. Can I go ahead and just flash the update.zip that he made and try that. I'm at a loss here, I'm having some other issues that are clouding my mind and I'm having quiet a bit of trouble with this.

Well, less a boot loop and more it will boot up fine, she will unlock it, skype will force close then it will reboot.

I've now gotten it to start charging. I can see the little charging screen.
[Droid X General] pchoi94:
Hi everyone, just got my DroidX a couple of days ago and it has the latest OTA update. I have a noobish question. Is the pre-rooted GB ROM that everyone keeps talking about the exact same thing as the OTA GB ROM except that it's rooted? Meaning, does it have all of the Motorola "stuff" in it (good or bad), i.e. bloatware, camera functions well, hdmi functions well, etc. Or is it a custom made "clean" GB with limitations on the hardware?

Thanks!
[Droid X General] razorloves:
yea, it's the same
[Droid X General] Galaxy80:
It's the same. There might be a bloatware app or two that might not be there, but it's the same for the most part. You can freeze any apps which is almost like uninstalling them. You can't delete the bloatware apps because they could mess your phone up, but you can freeze them just fine. Titanium Backup has a freezer and Bloat Freezer is another great app. Honestly, I highly recommend Cyanogenmod 7. You can try other roms, but Cyanogenmod 7 is super fast and super stable!
