I'm currently running Eclipse v1.0. I thought I was running v1.1 but sysinfo shows 1.0 even though I ran the 1.1 patch.
So I was going to go ahead and run the 1.1 patch for the HDMI mirroring.
So I go to my app tray hit system recovery, install recovery, allow SU, click OK once installed, plug into the wall charger, give it a sec, hit recovery mode, wait for my phone to reboot into recovery.....
well it all appears to be working until it goes to reboot, it just doesn't come back on. Just sits there with the power off, I've waited 3 mins for it, but nothing no moto screen no nothing.
I've tried this about 5x now.
I wanted to reinstall recovery, but it must of been cooked in the ROM cause I cannot uninstall it......
I did read through some of the pages on the Eclipse rom but didn't notice anyone with this problem, must be me.
Any ideas?
** EDIT ** hmmmm
Well, I just found out something new.
While my phone was powered completely off from trying to boot into recovery while I was typing this, I went to turn it on, pushed the power button then decided I would put my BH6X back in to fully charge (BH5x in now) so I pulled the battery on the M screen and it continued to boot, with no battery, now im in the system recovery......
So apparently no battery is needed, and for some reason I can install recovery, but cannot reboot into it. But since its installed and I have AC power I can pull battery and force boot it?
weird.....

So you get into recovery by pulling the battery then? I've never read anyone with this issue. With the phone powered off, and you plug in the charger, does it boot to recovery?

Yeah, I can get into recovery by plugging in my phone to wall charger while its off.
I've always just plugged it into a wall charger, went to my system recovery app, clicked install recovery, then clicked recovery mode, waited for it to boot into recovery..... is that not right?....
** EDIT ** Running recovery V2.5.1.8
That's what the instructions in recovery say. Only thing i can think of is to uninstall system recovery and reinstall it. Doubt it will work but worth a shot. This can be done with a file explorer w/ root access, i.e. root explorer or es file explorer. They're located in /system/app
Edit: you can also remove Any system app with titanium backup as well as the file explorers.

How do you fine out what version of system recovery is Installed..

Friend got a new Droid x2. Path that got us here:
1. rooted using Gingerbreak
2. installed Titanium Backup, and removed "unused" programs
3. contacts now force closes
4. titanium backup won't restore missing system apps
5a. get copy of x2 /app/ directory from here:
Droid X2 system dump, wallpapers, ringtones - Android Forums
5b. copied all files from .zip above into a new directory
5c. copied all files from my droid x2s /app/ directory into directory from above, overwriting any that already exist
5d. copy the combined files back to my x2's /app/ directory
6. reboot... again and again and again
I'm guessing it's a permissions issue... but is there any way out of it? other than waiting for a .sbf?
When booting the x2 in 'fastboot' mode, it shows up in Windows as "mot single adb interface", however, "adb devices" doesn't list any...
try this fastboot it works for me
Sorry... Fastboot is brand new to me... What should I do with it?
I was in a bootloop after I got done using gingerbreak, and all I did was a hard reset on the device thru recovery. It fixed it right up.
Fastboot?

I'm not trying to shut you down for chiming in. I'm truly interested if you do have any img files for the X2 as I have a unit stuck at the moto logo myself.
Android recovery won't fix it and it won't respond to adb so my only alternatives are fastboot or rsd lite which require an img file or sbf file respectively. I'm not even sure the X2 would allow a copied boot.img to be flashed in fastboot.
So please don't take offense to my question -- I'm just trying to learn more myself.
Progress? I guess we are able to (attempt to) run an update.zip file... but the update.zip file I found online saying it was for an x2 was actually for the original droid X.
Does anyone think it's possible to create my own update.zip file for the x2 that resets permissions on the files I copied over?

The only way you can flash an update.zip is if it is signed. You can try creating one but since it is not a signed zip I doubt that it will be able to be flashed.

On the contrary. It will if you have used the bootstrap recovery app to boot to recovery mode but never went back and set it to charge only in the app.
In other words, once you boot to recovery using the app, it will always boot to recovery when the phone is off and you plug it in. If, after you've booted to recovery, you reboot and then go back in to the bootstrap app and set it to charge only, then it will only charge the phone when it's off and you plug it in. That's how it works for me anyway.

I agree. Even if I have installed BSR before shutting it off and plugging it in has never resulted in BSR for me I install BSR every time for it to work.

You shouldn't have to install it each time. Once you've installed it all you should have to do is open the app and click reboot recovery (or whatever). After that, it should work as I described.

Do you happen to have another launcher on the phone by chance? If you do, then maybe wipe data/cache and reboot. To get into recovery just plug your charger in while the phone is off and it'll boot into recovery..If you've selected recovery mode last.

A simple test: Power off & plug the phone into the charger. If it boots into recovery you can wipe cache & dalvik then reboot. It may take care of it.
If you plug it in while off & it boots to the big green battery, you'll probably have to sbf.
Can you get into the stock android recovery? If so, a data wipe through that may work as well.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Plug phone up while fully off and do NOTHING. If it goes to Green Battery, Battery Pull and turn back onholding volume down. When you see FASTBOOT at top of screen, Press volume down until you see Recovery. Press Volume up. When you get to stock recovery. Wipe Cache. Reboot phone. ON the popup select your blur launcher if it shows up.
To fix issue. Go to system/app or data/app and fix your permissions to rw-r-r to that launcher. This will fix your issue.
thanks for your guys help. I am able to get into the phone
I'm currently rooted and running Eclipse rom on my X2. However when trying to reboot into recovery to install a new custom rom, the phone just reboots completely. I have tried Rom Manager and bootstrap, and both just reboot the phone when choosing Reboot into recovery. I've used Rom manager before with no problems. Its on the latest version and has superuser permissions. How can I fix it?

never ever use rom manager for the x2 its not fully supported yet.
get into bootstrap click install recovery then plug your phone into the wall and then press recovery in the bootstrap...keep your phone plugged in always when using bootstrap or it will not boot into recovery hence the reason why it completely reboots
if done correctly itll boot into bootstrap recovery adn youll be able to flash

Try going to the bootstrap app and hit install and give it superuser permission if it asks. Now plug your phone charger into the wall and connect it to your phone. Hit the recovery button and it should boot into recovery. I think some scripts hijack the recovery script, and reinstalling recovery fixes it.

You answered your own question with this statement! Only use the recovery that is meant for the X2. (its actually an atrix port)
Awesome. I had downloaded the port from the Atrix for the X2 but thought it was weird when it said Droid 2 when I loaded it up. Guess I originally got a bad link. Thanks for the help.
So I just flashed eclipse last night and it's working perfectly fine. One problem I'm having, though, is that whenever I try to go to recovery mode (I open up the bootstrap, install recovery, and then click recovery mode), it just goes to the charge screen. I AM plugged into a wall outlet whenever I try this.
I am rooted, I do have superuser permissions on the recovery. Any ideas? Thanks

how did u obtain root?
are u using the bootstrapper located In settings>eclipse parts
and make sure u press install recovery before pressing recovery mode.

make sure u r using the bootstrapper from eclipse parts.
if that fails to work try forgetting superuser permission and then regrant them.

not sure but I think usb debugging might need to be on. in development under application settings.
I tried forgetting su permissions but it didn't work, went to the charge screen just like every other time. I've been installing the recovery.
Hmm does it have anything to do with the bootstrap "thinking" the entire time? The circle that shows the system is working never went away, if you know what I mean. Does that make sense?
USB Debugging is checked. I just checked to enable installation of non-market apps just in case and tried again, but it went to the charge screen again...

It won't uninstall for some reason. Each time I tried it said it failed.
Also, I tried waiting until I installed the recovery to plug my phone in but it also did not work. I just wiped data, I'm gonna see what that does.
Data wipe worked! Finally.
Thanks everyone.
Alright so here's what I actually think happened:
I backup all my apps+data with MyBackup Root.
When I went to restore all the apps, I included the bootstrap in those restorations.
So I think the bootstrap getting restored messed up the existing bootstrap.

Haha you DID say it, I thanked you! Ah I'm loving Eclipse now that everything is smooth and running.
Ok, I downloaded an app that said Droid X2 bootloader on my stock blur, and it booted into recovery where I backed up blur, and installed Liberty 3.0.
And now, I cant get back into recovery. I tried the bootloader app, and I tried Rom Manager. It wouldn't boot to clockworkmod, and Rom Toolbox wont restore my backup.
Can someone PLEASE help me?
I hate Liberty. I didn't think it would suck when I installed it, mainly because past versions I had on my original Droid X were a lot better.
Thanks guys!
ROM toolbox only works on dx2 for certain things, and ROM manager plain does not work as you now know. I would suggest doing a factory reset of your phone and sbfing. By "bootloader app" do you mean bootstrap? Im assuming so. Once you sbf and reroot the phone, reinstall that app and make sure to have your phone plugged into a wall charger before entering recovery or it wont work. Try a different rom, I use eclipse out of preference, but the other roms available are all fantastic and are worth giving a shot.

Just do a battery pull then plug into a wall outlet while its still turned off. It should boot into recovery.

Just delete ROM Toolbox and ROM Manager. They are pretty much useless for our phone. Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps. But when you restore, dont restore your system settings. It may mess up your ROM. Just use it to backup and restore your apps and app data.
