Boot Strapper hangs on reboot

I have a droid x that I have rooted without issue. I loaded the Droid X bootstrapper from the first post. When I select Bootstrap Recovery, I get the success/OK button. When I choose reboot recovery my phone will hang after the "M" is displayed. The screen is dark, but I can tell the backlight is on. I didn't see any posts with anyone having the same problem.

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Droid X Android 2.3.3

System version 4.5.605.MB810.Verizon.en.us

Are you running cyanogenmod?

[Droid X General] afaivre:
No it is the stock system. I need boot strap in order to load a custom rom or theme, which is why I was loading it.
[Droid X General] marculous:
I would maybe check to confirm you are using latest root and bootstrap. You don't have that new no root Verizon ota do you?

Are you using Droid 2 bootstrap? if you are already on gingerbread, you need to use Droid 2 bootstrap, not Droid x bootstrap.

[Droid X General] afaivre:
It is the latest OTA that came out last week (?). I was rooted, lost root w/ update, re - rooted the phone. I have root now, verified because droidwall and titanium were not working after the ota, but now they are.

I don't believe I have the d2 bootstrap. That may be the issue. I downloaded the one from the first post here. I will try that.

Thanks for the help.
[Droid X General] afaivre:
Fixed

Yes, that was the problem. I needed the D2 Bootstrap vs the DX.

Thanks.
[Droid X General] marculous:
Its no problem

This thread is great. Thanks!
[Droid X General] jmdortch44:
I know I said it once already, but thanks again to everyone who added input in this thread. I was having issues with the Droid X Bootstrap, and after doing some intensive reading at work, realized i had the newer GB ota and had to use the Droid 2 Bootstrap.

Thanks again, I'm now running Liberty 3 v2.0 and its completely smooth.:cool:

Help me help my buddy...

I have always had a Samsung phone and with no problems able to root and flash all different roms on the phone.

My buddy has a Droid X and wanted to know if I can root it for him and throw a custom rom on it. - I said sure (before researching how to do this)

After about 15 minute I was able to perform the ROOT for his phone last night ( 12/31/2011) He had all the latest updates and never messed with this phone until last night. I was able to use MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4.zip to do the ROOT. Went smooth.

I had him pay for the APP for the Droid X Recovery Bootstrap. We opened the app and clicked Bootstrap Recovery , then given the Success display so we proceeded to push Reboot Recovery- Nothing happened when we pushed this.

My question is Did I do something wrong or miss a step?

Any help would be great.

All he has now is a simple ROOT but nothing is custom on his phone or any themes installed.
[Droid X General] tango41:
You should have bought Droid 2 bootstrap. Droid x bootstrap will work but the secret is to turn OFF USB debugging before trying to bootstrap. I also suggest getting rom manager pro from the market. You will need it for flashing the latest recovery for most of the X gb and 2 init roms. The free version Works but the pro version gives you so much more. Hope this helps.
[Droid X General] Anfeldt24:
It worked :)
[Droid X General] RandomPooka:
Droid2 Recovery is a must. Didn't know you could use DX Recovery with debugging disabled, though. Nice tip

hi guys,

Im a new DX user (soon) coz my DX still on its way from L.A to indonesia..

Which ROM is fastest and stable for DX?
[Droid X General] Oldblackcrow:
I couldn't find anything with a search, so here it goes... is the Droid X2 the same as the X when it comes to roms and such. Obviously I rooted no problem, but I'm coming from a D2G and my Rom Manager still shows the roms for the D2G. I tried emailing the developer, but it's been almost 3 weeks and no response. Thanks for your help!

Droid X2 rooted.
[Droid X General] NType3:
The roms won't work. Probably. They're entirely different phones, after all.
[Droid X General] Oldblackcrow:
Thanks for the info... do you know if they're going to support the X2?

Droid X2 rooted.
[Droid X General] Oldblackcrow:
Ahhhh.... never mind. I found it now. For some reason, it wasn't showing up in the search.

Droid X2 rooted.

Ok, so I managed to get my droid x on stock(rooted) 2.3.3 gingerbread stuck booting into bootsrap recovery even after uninstalling it. i tried the commands from the op but i still have the problem. and i also get the md5 checksum mismatch when i tried to use clockworkmod recovery to restore any of my backups.

any one have some ideas where i should even start looking get get this fixed? thanks in advance.
[Droid X General] mikereidis:
EDIT: I forgot a had a Linux sbf_flash. Flashed the same 602 back, and although a pain all around, am back to stock, after figuring out again exactly where those screen presses are needed to bypass activation...

Dagnab it ! This Droid X is my 6th phone for development and there almost ALWAYS seems to be pain getting rooted and custom ROM'd on a new phone that I'm a newb with !

I'm getting a bootloop with "DROID" alternating with that blinking red eye thing. What did I do and how do I recover ?

I've got Android 2.3.3 "System version: 4.5.602.MB810.Verizon.en.us". I rooted and installed OTA RootKeeper. Only thing weird about the manual rooting I did was that I was getting some out of space error and I couldn't fix it, but root worked OK, although I couldn't do "adb remount" or "adb root" directly. I guess I didn't setup the props file properly ?

Last thing I did was install and run Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap 1.0.0.5.

I did "Bootstrap Recovery" and that seemed OK. Then I did "Reboot Recovery" and got into this bootloop.

A complicating factor might be that prior to installing the D2 recovery bootstrap, I installed ROM Manager and attempted the Flash Recovery there. I think I selected the 1st option (not 2nd init ?). I decided about that point that I shouldn't be doing it unless I read it was recommended somewhere, so I hit Back.

I eventually saw a prompt from SuperUser and figured that de-selecting Remember and selecting Deny would prevent any bad stuff. As I've seen before that seemed to result in ROM Manager ANRing.

It seems way to easy to toast this Motorola...

So can I recover ? Without SBFing ? Thanks !

Hey, quick question, would it be possible to make a mirror of the SBF's in post two or something? I have a friend's Droid X that's stuck in a bootloop that I'm trying to SBF but... I can't get to the download for RDlite or the SBF file or anything. Multiupload's giving me a blank white page, and megaupload was shut down of course.

EDIT: Also, he had never rooted the phone. So I cant' do a data wipe or anything.

[Droid X General] tucstwo:
thank you for the info on removing bootstrap, I've been looking for that, I knew there was more to it than just uninstalling it
[Droid X General] Beanerman:
Refering to the "Droid X Bootstrapper" app. There is NOWHERE or option to create a backup. It just shows "Bootstrap Recovery", which says "success", when tapped and, "Reboot Recovery", which reboots phone to the "M",motorola emblem, and then to slightly lit black screen. I can get into ARS, "Android System Recovery" through the normal home and power button then volume keys thing, but no option there to create a backup either. I rooted using doomlords easy root if that makes a difference.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Not sure what "slightly lit black screen" you are seeing. If you get success for the bootstrap recovery and then reboot to recovery, it should be booting into Clockwork mod recovery. Granted I don't have my Dx anymore, but can I get some more info on what your current phone setup is? (IE stock, what is the moto OTA release you are on, etc.)

Thanks

Sorry late response

I got it figured out. Thank you for this thread though. I have gotten a lot of useful files and tips. Awsome.

A NOTE: Anyone that does the Maderstock 2.3.340 and wants to bypass ACTIVATION, for deving or whatever, Simply turn on phone, At "Touch Android to Begin" screen, touch the 4 corners of the screen from TOP LEFT and clockwise. Sometimes once works, sometimes 2,3, or 4.

Just thought I would throw that in in case ya wanted to add it to your Maderstock information. Thanks again for your helps,and posts, and threads.
[Droid X General] ourheartswarrior:
Same problem, how did you figure it out.

Could you please tell me what you had to do? Mine reboots to a lit blank screen as well.

You're awesome man! Really needed a thread like this. I'm very comfortable rooting and flashing stuff, but I've never dove into the whole command prompts thing before. I have a one click root method I used on my fascinate, would I be able to use that, then download the boot thing from the market and start flashing stuff to this Droid X i'm about to go buy? Or is the z4 root a necessity? Its not a big deal, I might go a head and do it anyways.
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
No problem at all, this is why im writing the guide! So many have been a help to me, and I know how frustrating it can be to find all the info you need. Just want to be able to give back to the community
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Im not sure about the one click thing you mention, as im not too familiar with the fascinate... But z4root is one click root from the ohone itself and has kinda become the standard on the X in my opnion...
[Droid X General] stayin100:
After I obtain root, as far as deodex, wouldn't you just be able to flash a deodexed rom and not have to deodex manually?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Yes if you flash a deodexed ROM there is no need to manually deodex. Just writing up everuthing for those who choose to use stock Moto ROM
[Droid X General] DarkSirius:
Hey all. n00b here. Love the guide. Worked out great for the rooting. However, I am having issues trying to deodex my X.

When I get to this step in the command prompt:

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

It says the files don't exist, even though I put them on the sdcard from windows and also verified their location using estrong file explorer. Is there another way I am supposed to use to place the /done_app/ and /done_frame/ folders to their root dir of the sdcard?

TIA!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Hm... Trying to remember going through this process a long time ago... =)

Try /mnt/sdcard/done_app..... Etc for the path and see if this works. Post back if not =)
[Droid X General] DarkSirius:
No luck. :/

I think I am going to just find a ROM that is already deodexed. Once I learn that process. :)

Thanks for the help!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Hm... I want to help you get this working (and hate being stumped...) Let's try to breakt this down... Send me a PM so there isn't a lot of back and forth messages in the thread, and I will get you in a deodexed state =)
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
I have good news for you sir!

http://www.mediafire.com/?gvvgnum0uma2huk

^^^ This link is a deodexed 2.3.34 system only flashable zip. You can use bootstrap recovery to get yourself to a deodexed state! Make sure to make a backup of your phone through bootstrap first (as well as backup any apps, sms messages, contacts). If it doesn't boot up right, pull the battery, plug the wall charger in, then put the battery back in, and it should boot to recovery. Then wipe data/factory reset (this will reset your apps you have downloaded and wipe them out).

If you are on the 2.3.15 OTA looking for Deodexed system:

Liberty 1.5 Help

Thank you for all the information. I was referred to XDA by a friend and everything on here is awesome. While I have experience with with all that is awesome in Android, I have run into a problem.

I flashed Liberty 1.5 today (went from my everyday ROM of flyx0.1final directly to liberty). I made backups using Titanium Backup and through Clockwork, and followed all the directions from the Liberty Team. The flash was flawless and one of the fastest I have ever done. Unfortunately, I am unable to recover my contacts (I didn't pay enough attn to the fact that my contacts never synced with Gmail) and when I attempt to play .mp3 format songs I get the error message "Sorry the player does not support this type of audio file". I have tried winamp and liberty's stock player. Lastly, is there anyway to recover the blur camera?

Thank you for your help!
[Droid X General] whytei:
Excellent!

First off great job with the guide! Very comforting to read.

Here it goes..

I've rooted my EVO and have a basic understanding of what went on while rooting it. My friend's got a Droid X and was interested in diving in.

Questions:

Can you run the removing bootstrap step through terminal emulator on the phone after root (or a bad idea). I know copying the text to terminal is the best way to do this.

Do you have to remove bootstrap before running Droid X bootstrap.

Advantages/ Disadvantages to both of these question.

Thanks again!:D
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
My recommendation for your contacts is to take a backup now, then revert to your flyX backup. back your contacts up to your sdcard or tell your gmail account to sync your contacts and then restore the backup of liberty and sync your gmail account. I think I exported my contacts to csv when I got my X and imolported to gmail on my computer.

When.i get home I will try to do a more detailed writeup
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
You dont have to do any removing before installing the droid x bootstrap. The remove instructions are merely for those who wish to completely get rid of the droid x bootstrap.

I would recommend running these commands on a pc rather than a terminal emulator. While im sure the emulator would work... Prob easiest from a pc.
[Droid X General] dholmes1317:
Thanks for the idea. I'll give it a shot and leave a response on the result.
[Droid X General] dholmes1317:
Thank you for the advice. I ended up using the sdcard route and everything went smoothly. I also did another wipe to be safe before loading back liberty. Now my contacts are back which is great. Thanks again.

The only other issues are the camera (not that big of a deal) and not being able to play .mp3 files. Very odd. Thanks again!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Ah yes! I realized I forgot to tell you how to get the blur camera! Liberty Toolbox is your friend! From your application drawer (menu), find Liberty Toolbox and launch it (if for some reason you can't find it on the phone...and I heard of someone who couldn't, you can download it from the market). From within the Liberty Toolbox app, click App Management--> Install Add-Ons--> VOILA! Camera [blur].

Tap on that sucker and you will have the blur camera back!

As for the music... I've heard of other people having this issue, but I can't think of what is causing it...My initial guess is always that maybe you are still on the 2.3.15 OTA? If you weren't on 2.3.340 before installing Liberty, then your phone will have incompatible library files, which is why Music won't work.

As a worst case scenario before you get too far into Liberty and adding apps... I would try wiping data/factory reset, and then install Liberty 1.5 again, see if this helps...

Just an fyi, another cool feature of Liberty Toolbox--> App Management--> Backup/Restore This allows you to backup your applications and their data so if for whatever reason you decide to wipe your phone, install Liberty again... You can just restore your last backup of your apps and are on your way =)
[Droid X General] whytei:
10-4 thank you for the input.
[Droid X General] dholmes1317:
Thanks...now I know how helpful that liberty toolbox is! So much in there...

As for the music, I essentially came from 2.1 because of FlyX. So yes, that would make a lot of sense. I also tried removing the music files then putting them back on my card (from my computer) and that still hasn't worked. I'm going to keep playing with it, that's what we do!

Thanks again, and I finally found the thanks button!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Ah ha! You are in luck again! I happen to have the files you need to get music working! When I get home from work I will send them to you and provide instructions =) check back later today for the files and info!
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
OK, to start, make sure to take a nandroid backup of your phone before doing this. While I have tested this on my phone, any mis-typing can screw things up

Ok, so in this zip file is a /system folder. Within that are two library files. These need to be extracted out, and then copied to your phone. The files are as follows: libbridge.so and libLCML.so

Take these files and move them to a folder of your choice on your pc.To make it easy, if you create a folder at C:\ called library, that will work for my example.

to move these files to your phone, connect your phone to your pc and put it in usb charge only mode.

Open 2 command prompt windows:

WINDOW 1:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

WINDOW 2:

CD \library

adb push libbridge.so /system/lib/libbridge.so

adb push libLCML.so /system/lib/libLCML.so

BACK TO WINDOW 1:

cd /system/lib

chmod 644 libbridge.so

chmod 644 libLCML.so

BACK TO WINDOW 2:

adb remount

adb reboot

Your phone will now reboot, and you should be able to play music files after this =)

things i've checked

[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
ADB is not a default DOS command. It is a part of the android SDK. If you have not installed the android SDK and put the path to the SDK tools in your system path (environment variable) then you cannot run adb from anywhere unless you are in the tools directory of the sdk.

THANKS!
[Droid X General] dholmes1317:
I assume your phone is rooted, first off, but if not here is what I have:

I encountered the same issue with my X when I was trying to root it (old school, not using z4root). I downloaded Koush's bootstrap and ran that program, as well as reinstalling the Moto drivers. I gained root very quickly after that.

If you are already rooted, I had the same issue while running FlyX0.1 Final. Though it makes little sense, I got adb to run after I ran Koush's bootstrap. I don't have enough experience to understand that, but I know it worked. There are a lot of variables as you know from your nook, but this worked for me.

Good luck!
