So I think I've royally F'd my DX. I was going to try rooting and flashing a new rom. I'm not a total noob (rooted gtab, nook color, Le Pan) but this is ****ing me up.
It was running 2.3.3 605 originally. I started out with just root, that seemed fine. I got superuser and busybox installed without a problem. I install clockwockmod and dx bootstrap. I was even able to get CWM 5.0.2 or whatever installed without any trouble like I had read.
I tried reading and following threads but I couldn't fallow on if I was missing steps. I have zero experience with rooting via scripts and I have no intention to learn and would rather go back to stock.
I immediately got problems with rebooting. It would not reboot via the power button. It would go to the Red M then just black screen. But it would boot just fine if I pulled out the battery and tried that way.
I did a factory reset thinking that would help, it didn't. I was still rooted but the problems got worse. Now I boot directly into CWM recovery and have to reboot from in there to get to the OS.
I read some more, thought I had figured more out. Installed Rom manger, installed Liberty3. I'm still booting straight into recovery but when I reboot from there I'm stuck at the spinning Liberty logo.
I need help, I've read and searched, if you want to be a **** have run. But I need my phone fixed. Hold my hand like I'm Hellen Keller and help please.
I would recommend reading the Droid X wiki at the Cyanogenmod website. I had some of the same issues until I followed the downgrade + root method and then installed ROM Manager and CM7 manually through recovery. Good luck!

Don't use ROM manager and don't use dxbootstrap (unless you have usb debugging unchecked). I use d2 bootstrap always. And you will have the occasion of it going in to cwm when you boot phone back up. I dealt with it for while. And cwm should be 2502 or something like that when you're just rooted 605. Did you make a nandroid of your rooted 605 before you tried to flash liberty
? Hopefully you did. Go back to that. Then use d2 bootstrap to get in to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, then select install ip from sd card, then choose zip, then scroll via volume down to the liberty file, select that and flash.
I used directions posted over at Androidforums.com under the All Things Root forum for the Dx. I had a couple of hiccups, but it was user error. I now have Liberty 3 running smoothly on my Dx. Check it out, including the guide and ROM lists.

Boot into recovery and load one of your backups. If you don't have backups, then you just learned why you need them. Of course, there are people who have uploaded nandroid backups to this site and others, find one of them, move it to your sdcard, boot into recovery, and install it.
If all this fails, then just .sbf. It doesn't take forever, and you can make a nice clean stock 2.2 backup after you root and then upgrade.
What OS are you running? Have you tried to SBF your phone back to factory?
Im guessing its 2.2 only

Yeah i got it back by doing spf. And then reloaded a backup, but i could never get into clockwork, what do u do yo get into clockwork because the only recovery i was able to get into was the recovery that comes with the phone, just would like to know.

The same thing happened to me trying to update using the update.zip. Installs everything normally but when it comes to booting it simply stops at the motorola logo, then if you reboot it several times taking the battery out it boots into the system.
Doesn't sound like your rooted? Have to be rooted to use Clockwork.
If you are rooted might try reinstalling the Bootstrap Recovery.
Would definitely suggest doing an SBF on the phone. The guides here are a little unorganized, so I wrote up a nice one below. Includes everything including the SBF file needed for flashing.

Need help! My phone was rooted using the Easy Root process, all was peachy until I decided to try the latest leak of 2.2. Didn't work, got stuck at the M logo and could only get the bootloader screen up. I thought it was bricked but after searching high and low through the blogosphere got to this post. Now I've done the sbf as suggested, but when I try to do the Easy Root again, nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root again so I can access the backup from my sd card and get my phone back to where I had it b/f. HELP!
I tried to use SuperOneClick to root my phone and it seemed to work. The program came back saying I successfully rooted my phone.
I then went to ClockworkMod to install cyanogen and clicked on the appropriate boxes to begin the download process for cyanogen 6.0 stable mod and ran it.
My phone rebooted and started to run some scripts.
Now, the phone just reboots to the green mytouch screen and continues to loop like that and I have no idea what to do.
I can get into fastboot on the mt3g and when I do, my pc makes the sound that states that the phone is connected but when I try to get into the mytouch, using adb, my pc cant access it but when I plug up my G2, I can see the serial number and such showing that it is connected.
I tried to follow the fastboot driver installation page but it didn't seem to work.
Bottom line is I would really enjoy a functional MT3G in either the regular form or cyanogen (which is why im in this predicament now )
For the the record,
I was running 1.6 but got the OTA update for 2.2 before I ended up blowing up my phone.
Thanks for reading this and any aid would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATED:
I found something called SAPPIMG.NBH that allowed me load Android 1.5 onto my phone. I now am back to a functioning device but still, I am super stuck on trying to get cyanogen onto my device. Any helpful hints? From what you read above, did I miss something?
Thanks again.
... Sadness... I have been bashing my face against this mt3g and haven't been able to get cyanogenmod on this phone for the life of me. I have tried all of the builds from 5.08 up to RC1 of 6.10 and I just get the infinite loop at the cyanogen boot up screen. I even tried to flash 2.23.XXXX radio to see if it gets past the boot loop and it does not. Anybody have any insights into my issue?
Thanks,
You must go into recovery mode(boot up by holding down home + power). That will get you to Clockworkmod recovery(I am assuming since you said you downloaded using Clockwork app). From there you need to wipe cache, and anything else you can wipe. Then try installing Cyanogenmod after that. Without wiping the there is not enough space to install and it causes a bootloop.
I'm in the same boat, I'm stuck in a boot loop and I cannot get any ROM to fully load in. I'm using clockwork recovery Radio 2.22 32B.
I tried wiping everything but that still doesnt seem to work. I noticed when I try wiping Davlik cache I dont see any message on the bottom. I thought it would normally give me some sort of message stating that it is wiping davlik or something so maybe it isnt actually wiping it?
Is there some other way to make sure davlik is wiped? Or something else I can do. I just want the phone to boot up at this point. I can get into recovery but thats it.
I know I shouldve done a backup but dumb me was such in a rush I completely forgot, I know im a idiot...
Het I found that same .img file and also reverted back to 1.5 then just went up to 2.2 not sure what was wrong but Rom I put on just went into a boot loop. Maybe it was clockwork recovery.

The problem is that you cannot go directly to 2.2 from 1.5. You have to do the incremental upgrades that take you from 1.5 to 1.6 then 1.6 to 2.2
I am having problem updating to 2.340.
I just got a replacement DX from Verizon few days ago. As soon as I received it, I tried to do an update but the system said that I was up to date even though my software showed 2.315 so I decided to mod my DX right away since most people did not have problem updating with rooted DX.
Initially, I rooted my phone with Z4ROOT, reinstalled all the apps using Titanium Backup which i had on previous phone since I all the backups on my
SD card than I back up the stock ROM with Rom Manager. After that, I installed Bazinga2.1 Rom. Installed my apps again using titanium back up and back it up again using ROM Manager. After this, I installed BigDX blue theme. Couple a days ago, I got a notification that I have an update from Verizon which was 2.34 so I went back to recovery, restored back the Stock, using Z4Root, unrooted and download the 2.34 update and tried to install but the update failed. So I did a factory reset and put every thing back to stock and tried to update again and it still fails.
Once the update is down loaded, I try to install and its turns off the phone, than it shows a box with android next to it and it shows triangle with Exclamation and just reboots. Than it goes to clockwork mod recovery.
Why does my phone go to clockwork recovery even though I am UNROOTED?
Any help or input will be greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Root and the bootstrapper are separate entities. Removing root, and removing the boostrapper manually (by renaming files in the system) will not fix your issue either.
The reason I know this is because I went through a number of ways to try to get the OTA, but could not.
I would suggest you hit MDW and get all of the latest files for the update, and do it that way.
You'll sbf, flash the leak for .320, then sbf .320, then flash the system for .340, then update the kernel, and radio afterwards. After that, you'll be back on the normal track.
It's a lot of steps, I guess, but it really doesn't take long.
Go grab the files ASAP, in case they get pulled, and follow all of the instructions carefully.
Whats MDW and why am I having this problem when everyone else is not. also, I removed Boostraper and it still go into recoverymod? I am just going to SBF reflash to 2.315 and see if it will work.
Here we go again!!!
Lots of people had that issue.
Mdw is mydroidworld.com
Sbf all you like. I stand behind the advice I gave.
Also, if you had actually removed the bootstrap correctly, you couldn't possibly still end up in clockwork.
Either way, in about the time it took you to post, you could have used the steps I suggested and have been done.

I'm in a bit of a hurry so I haven't read the whole thread thoroughly, but if you're just trying to get it to stop booting into CWM, go to terminal emulator
Run "su"
Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
Reboot

Thanks for the advice but I SBF my phone back to 2.315, than tried to do update again and it worked.
I had the Liberty 1.5 ROM on my Droid Rooted with Rom Manager Clock Work recovery and everything was fine until..
I found a file on the web called Monster_D2_2.3.2_4.5.153 I used Clock Work recovery and installed it.
Now my phone says I have Android Version 2.3.3 Build Number STAB
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-gd72dc5da20523
It's running fine but I have lost ClockWork Recovery. I can not root the phone after trying several different methods. I can not install anything on it with its stock recovery without getting a signiture failure in the stock recovery and worst of all I can not uninstall it or overwrite it with anything I have loaded on the SD card.
I would be happy to remove this build and re-install Liberty.
I would be even more happy If I could just get this rooted and have my clockwork recovery back.
can anyone help me by pointing me to a thread or link that can help?
Thanks SO much

The problem is that there isn't a known process for rooting Gingerbread (except for installing a pre-rooted ROM)
SBF back to stock, and then you should be able to root, install clockworkmod, and then reinstall Liberty.

If you made a backup of liberty before you installed 2.3.3, after you root and put clockwork on, you should be able to just restore it.
It's always good to do as much research as you can before trying anything like that.
I installed VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf
Then I was able to root the phone and use my root applications. The device is very slow and too sketchy to complete anyone task so it was a failure.
Now with your advice I should get back on the right track. Thank You very much for the response. I thought for a moment I might have to drop my phone on the pavement and go to phoneclaim dot com. But you cant learn anything taking the easy way out. lol I'll post the outcome.

Yup, as long as you can get the phone into bootloader mode, the phone isn't bricked.

I've had that performance problem after SBF'ing as well. I think I cleared data and rebooted a couple times to address the issue...
Complete Recovery!
Thank You SO much!
I began having a black screen.after a few weeks on gingerbread so I decided to sbf back to froyo but it failed now my phone gives the MOTO logo and goes directly to a black screen. I can't get it into flash mode even with holding the arrow up key. I'm out of ideas here so I'm really hoping to find a way to get this working again without being worried that its truly bricked. Any help would be greatly appreciative.
Have you been able to boot into anything else, such as the stock recovery?
Okay I followed these instructions
http://www.talkandroid.com/55906-on...d-3-droid-x2-cliq-and-cliq-2-from-the-forums/
I had it rooted, I used the droid x bootstrap to install the recovery and then used it to go into recovery. I made a backup, but I forgot to wipe before I installed a new rom (newest MIUI). I tried using the bootstrap to install the recovery again and go into it, but when I try to go into the recovery it just reboots the phone basically. It stays on the Motorola logo for a long time but eventually boots. I tried the Droid 2 bootstrap now and still the same results. The wifi on it is broken and the data does not work. Every time the phone reboots, its completely starting from scratch. I have to resign in with gmail and everything, and the bootstrap is no longer installed.
I tried using the recovery by holding the home button while powering it on, but wiping data and cache does nothing, and it errors out when I try to install the rom from the install from update option.
I'm stumped. How can I get back into the recovery so I can wipe+install the rom again?
I fixed it. Please delete the thread. Not sure why we don't have the ability to do so if it's our own thread.
Only because I'm curious, related to my DX presenting similar symptoms: If you have a few minutes, would you be willing to post up your solution/fix? I might find your insight and information useful in my present situation. Thanks in advance,
