Or just restore a stock root only backup if you have one. All you need is a stock 2.3.340/2.2.1 with root and droid2 bootstrap.

Hi guys, new to the forum. Trying to get my droidx on cyanogen going the official route through sbf'ing. I've managed to sbf. I went through the wipe data/factory reset option and then rebooted the phone but I just get stuck on the red M sign. It never actually boots into stock. Any ideas? Thanks

No problem rsdlite was giving me problems the other day & I spent HOURS on it (phone was stuck in bootloader) finally a dude helped me in rootz irc boot ubuntu on live cd & do the sbf_flash I've never been outside windows so it was a trip

I got my X to SBF and accept the Temporary root but when I run the Droid2 bootstrapper the Bootstrap Recovery button keeps saying Failure when I press it and the Reboot recovery button does nothing when I press it. When I reboot into recovery I don't get the option to load a zip from SD, just the update.zip from SD shows up and it fails when I try to load it.

What am i doing wrong?

I had a similar issue with it just stuck bootlooping, or getting stuck on the boot logo. I was using the system only sbf for 2.3.340. Downloaded the full sbf and redid the sbf process and I booted. Not sure what that was about, but I didnt care lol.

choonami, try permanent root instead of temporary

Will that be okay on the DX? I read somewhere that it was listed under the temporary root. I'm new to rooting so I have a lot to learn still. Just want to make sure permanent rooting won't jack my phone up.

It won't. I've SBFed more times than I can count, and I always choose permanent root. In fact, it was my understanding that you always wanted to choose permanent root.

 

[gardobus]

Yeah you definitely want permanent.

the reason u need to be sbf is cus u need a fresh install of ur phone. and the reason u havent been able to get it to work is cus u need the correct drivers. ill add them

Hi. Thanks for the overview of the SBF process. I used RSD to SBF my DX back to froyo so I can therafter root and flash CM7.

At the end of the SBF process, it bootlooped, so I pulled the battery and wiped data/factory reset.

However, I did not wipe the cache partition.

The phone did reboot to froyo after just wiping the data, and subsequently flashed CM7 after root.

Do I need to do the SBF process again to wipe the cache partition? Because I did not wipe the cache, is it taking up space?

I am a Noob and have looked at videos and forums for the answer, but haven't found an absolute answer.

Appreciate any insight. Thanks.

No you do not need to SBF again to wipe cache. Since you have ROM Manager installed...all you have to do is reboot into Recovery. There you can wipe cache if you so choose to.

when you wipe data, it does a wipe cache also. so, you're good to go. If you want to do it again, just hold the power button and choose reboot, then choose recovery.

i can't seem to get z4 to work. I've tried to reboot and try again, battery pull and try again, usb debugging on and off, etc! I'm on the 340 sbf, so I'm confused...any ideas?

edit:
Gingerbreak worked...

 

[sgtguthrie]

How do I go back to 340 froyo? Just restore my nandroid of it?
