Well I am not the expert but I will toss in my 2 cents. I have activated a Droid x2 (MB870) on Page Plus. I SBFed back to 2.3.4 (1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US; Oct 11, 2011), rooted with auto DX2Batchroot_2013.v2.exe to apply Android JB 4.1.2 CM10-Alpha3 ROM by DZK.
I am very happy with CM10 right now; it works fine on Page Plus. JB 4.1.2 is a BIG improvement over 2.3 Gingerbread. With that said, I will not be trying out other ROMs for the time being, since I need a working phone.
All other ROMs to my knowledge require SBF back to 2.3.4 except Eclipse 2.3 so you might want to try it first if you are already on 2.4.5(418).
Other ROMs to consider:>> wwwDOTdroidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-roms/
I am satisfied with my Droid x2 since it meets my needs. 1. G3 data to work on PP; 2. Android 4.x after flashing; 3. Great display with guerrilla glass and not too big to fit in my pocket.
Cons are the Nvidia Tegra 2 GPU on it. The Tegra 2 will not be supported anymore so there is no upgrade to 4.4 KK. XBMC v13 will not work on it either. CM10a3 is in Alpha state and further development on it is iffy. Some have said the video does not work well but I have not experience this. There is a slight shutter when selecting videos from the list, but they played well for me.
If you decide to purchase I will be glad to give you tips I compiled since I just did this Mar 2014.
bought it
Ok I bought a new " overstock " Droid X2 it should be here next week. What program do I use to flash this phone? I don't understand "SBF"? Thanks for the help.:good:

System Boot File - SBF
SBF is the System Boot File, an image which restores the phone to its factory state. The latest from Motorola is 2.3.5(1.3.418.MB870.Verizon.en.US; May 8,2012) which is Moto’s Droid x2 version of Gingerbread 2.3 and will probably be what is on your phone. All custom ROMs except Eclipse v2.3 use the earlier Moto release 2.3.4 (1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US; Oct 11, 2011).
I’m curious, how much did you pay for your Droid x2? I took a gamble and picked mine up used, but was very pleased with its condition. I am considering picking up another for cheap .
Rooting and installing was not hard but I spent a lot of time researching finding much of the info dated. Droid hacks were pretty popular in the day so there is much content, but it has shortcomings, so many have moved on. For a 3G phone, which is what I needed, I could not find any better one. My CM10 install did hit a bump by continuously installing with an infinite loop on boot; that cost me some time. I think my fix was to wipe my data in addition to cashe; the first couple of tries when I got the loop I just cleared cashe.
There's some really good information on the Droid x2 in this forum and others. RootJunkyDOTcom seems to be up-to-date and gives good step by step instruction so I suggest checking it out. sd_shadow is another good source to Google. I have other links that I would include but since I am newly registered, I can’t until I have at least posts.
Thanks
I paid $74.09 shipped on ebay. Seems like a fair price. Thanks for the info. My phone should be here on Wednesday. I think Ill go with a 4.1.1 rom. Thanks again.

To Merlin11 and dukkha2:
sd_shadow is one of the Titans on the x2 forum. His links are very current and exhaustive. I hope will monitor this thread over the next few weeks as to assist in flashing the x2. I will follow up with my notes on rooting and flashing CM10a3 tomorrow.
To sd_shadow:
I could use advice on a problem I have with BSR. After flashing CM10a3 I have installed the Patched BSR so I can backup my ROM and I try experiment with the softkey zip mod. BSR shows up as "CM7 System" on my apps screen so I know I have the patched version; however, I get a boot loop of the Moto Boot screen anyway. I have tried installing the other ordinary BSR (shows as System Recovery on the apps screen) but this causes the same infinite loop at the Motorola boot screen.
The loop only occurs when I have the usb charger plugged in to my x2 telling me the problem is the BSR. I am able to recover by pulling the battery and rebooting without the charger. I booted into Motorola's Recovery and wiped the data and cashe. This did not solve the loop issue. I was going to try wiping the Dalvik also but I don't know what this is or how to wipe this.
I have seen your CM10 hijack-boot.zip instructions and considered try this fix. I have not loaded this fix yet because when I compared the etc/hijack-boot.zip on my phone with the one in the hijack-boot.zip file they have the same MD5 which implies CM10a3 already has the updated hijack-boot.zip patch.
Any suggestions?

You followed instructions and used files posted here? Concise guide to getting CWM working with cm10 A3
and verified the roms md5 before installing, I know that the original Dev-Host file download, failed for many people the first try.

You will need to downgrade to 2.3.4, before installing CM10, see my How To Flash a SBF Using RSD Lite

I missed these instruction for how to install the patch when searching; much appreciated. There are many pages in the CM10 thread, I think the link to the Concise patched BSR should be added to the CM10 instructions in #1 as a final step so users can backup with CWM.
Your link to SBF to 2.3.4 would also be a good addition.
Another addition would be a link to re-calibrate the battery stat mine I screwy right now. It shows 100% then drops to fast. I am researching this.
Everything else is working splendid!

dukk, I just redid this whole upgrade in about 30 min so don't fear it. I can't leave url links but if you google or search in xda on the quoted words you should be able to find the links and files. sd_shadow's links above are very good. Also check out wwwDOTrootjunkyDOTcom.
1. downgrade to 2.3.4
-Follow sd_shadow in response #8 and #10 above.
-don't sweat using the latest RSD, 5.4, 5.6, or the latest 5.7 will all do the job. Just make sure you load the USB drivers first and your phone is connecting to your PC
2. root
-I have been using "DX2Batchroot_2013.v2.exe". try Googling it. It will automatically install BSR you need for ROM install.
-There is a video using the file above but it is for 2.3.5. It doesn't matter, the procedure is exactly the same.
3. Download CM10a3, gapps, softkeys, patched BSR apk, and patched hijack-root.zip files and put on your External SDCARD
-CM10a3 rom
-gapps ("gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip")
-optional softkeys (search "CM10DX2-A3-softkeys.zip")
-patched BSR and hijack-root.zip >>> checkout sd_shadows response #10 above (don't install until #5 below)
4. Install the first 3 zip files in #3 using BSR CM10a3 rom ("cm-10-20130113-UNOFFICIAL-daytona"), gapps ("gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip") and optional softkeys (search "CM10DX2-A3-softkeys.zip") but you must load BSR only after you wipe data
-Make sure you follow the instructions.
-You must wipe data AND cashe or it will hang on the start screen.
5. Load patched BSR along with replacing hijack-root.zip in the /etc folder so you can create a Backup using the patched BSR
-This is spelled out in the link in response #10 above
-you will need a Terminal app. There are free ones in Google Play.
-wipe data and cashe again
6. Load optional apps and backup again.
-I have a battery calibration issue. Check out "Battery calibration (New method?)" in wwwDOTdroidxforumsDOTcom for a fix
-There is a fix to Facebook videos in xda x2 forum.
Good Luck! You really can't brick this x2. SBF can recovery any hack you do. I messed up yesterday and replaced the patched BSR in CM10 with the ordinary one. I don't recommend this! It locked me out of my phone and I couldn't recover. I had to re-SBF. I did get to test the backup I created with BSR and it worked well.

MIUI v5 may be an option for JB 4.2.2
I see a new thread for a beta of MIUIv5 coming soon for the DX2. I am willing to try it. I like CM10 but have been experiencing some shortcoming s such as battery indicator, some apps crash, and videos only playing sound or not able to play at all.
looks like it is build with the same source as cm10, so it will have similar problems.

How can you tell if the update to the rom was sucessful? Is there a different vesion number in the phone? Thanks
It looks different? The internal and external sd cards are switched? Myverizon app is gone? If it said in recovery that the installation is successful, it worked. If it produced an error it didn't. These are all good ways
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
only reason im asking is I installed .02 with no problems, but was having the rebooting when charging issue. i installed the .02-.03 patch, it said it installed sucsesfully but i was still having the same issue. I'm on .04 now and i am liking it, but i hear a new patch will be released today and wanted to make sure it was actually updated.
Alright well as long as there was no error during the flash its all set. It shouldn't matter if he releases a full rom and not a patch. A full rom can be flashed over anything with the same base, the patches need to be flashed over the correct version.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I had flashed .4 directly over .3 with a couple of wipes in-between and had no issues with the transition. however the rom was a bit slower than .3 imho. i am def going to try to flash to his next version when it comes available since he has mentioned it being a big step forward.
Due to requests for a dev thread, here it is.
And as a note:
I am privatizing my builds and will only release tests to those I deem competent of being able to produce crash dumps, log files, and other useful information. This is not because I dislike anyone, but the stress of having 20 people tell me that "x doesn't work, when can you get it working?" isn't going to make me want to work on it.
Currently in a working state (may still be buggy):
Audio
Bluetooth
Wifi (After reboot, should be tcmd related)
2D/3D Acceleration (renderscript is unknown/buggy)
Sensors
CDMA radio
GPS (not aGPS)
USB Charge/Mass Storage/ADB
Key mapping (working 'b' key)
CPU scaling works correctly
What doesn't work or is already a known bug:
The Alt-lock key.
Camera
3G data
GSM Radio (will be testing this asap)
What will NEVER work:
NFC
ETA: [font=comic sans ms,cursive]When it's ready.[/font]
As this is a hot topic: If you wish to donate, please send it to Hascode or the Defy Team as they've helped me out more than I usually care to admit. I'll lengthen this list and flesh it out later.
My current source can be found and built from github Global-KANGs
Definitely looking forward to this rom. Good luck with the development.
I'll try building myself from github when I get some time to prep build environment. Meanwhile bikedude880, if you are looking for testers (GSM) I'm here (not sure if you got my PM over rootzwiki).

Flashing CM9
Hey guys,I found a ROM of CM9 on another site last night. I rebooted into CM Recovery and made a nandroid backup first of my factory D2G ROM. After that I cleared everything and did a factory data reset and cleared the cache and dalvik-cache. After that I flashed CM9 onto my D2G along with the ICS Gapps. Everything went just fine but upon the phone booting up, it keeps bootlooping and actually not going into the operating system. I thought maybe I need to give it some time to load and all so I let the phone sit all night waiting and woke up this morning and it was still in the bootloop. Now I'm flashing back to the SBF from Verizon and retrying everything. Can anybody tell me if I did anything wrong. I have experience with Droid 1's,HTC Hero's, T-MO G1's,etc. I'm pretty sure everything was done correctly and went by all the flashing instructions I've ever been taught. I'm kinda at a loss and think I may just keep it on a factory rooted ROM.
Model:
Droid 2 Global A956
CWM Recovery 2.0.8 I believe
I did install the bootloader app that I got
ICS CM9.zip file
1.Did BACKUP
2.Wiped Everything
3.Flashed ROM

Hi bikedude880! I'm wating for your rom in long time. I don't have a lot of rom to try.
P/S: Sorry for my bad English!
UPDATE This is the MX2-Beta1 Done by DKZ. I am pasting the post Lrs121 did later in the forum (P.13) I am just posting it here to stay Current!
-below Lrs121 post their is my original post to help with flashing if you need it. Flashing should be the same. Included in Lrs121 post their is a wifi patch that DKZ applied.
Enjoy!
Lrs121
Here it is! CM9 Beta1 Download links.
THANK YOU AND ALL CREDIT GOES TO DragonzKiller For all the work hes put forth
Read entire post before flashing. Its long i know but worth reading.
Known issues for mx2 cm9beta1 without data wipe (comes from my experience with it)
Includes same issues for dx2
constant super user request (see fixes/info)
always says updating android durring startup (see fixes/info)
reboot/shutdown hangs (see fixes/info)
restart doesnt work properly (see fixes/Info)
WIFI does not start (SEE FIXES/INFO)
NOTE!!! IF UPDATING FROM ALPHA 4 Wipe DATA CACHE AND FACTORY RESET!!! DATA WIPE FOR ALPHA 5 IS NOT REQUIRED BUT RECOMMENDED!!!
How to install(credit to DZK)
Installation:
Install the BSR (patched if on CM7/CM9)
Reboot into the BSR
NANDROID <--- you'll probably want to go back to this
Install the CM9 zip from the SD Card MX2 Users Go to the MX2 Thread for the Patched CM9 zip once it has been updated to Beta 1
MX2 ONLY! Install the WiFi Driver zip from the SD Card
Install the GAPPS from the SD Card
Wipe both DATA and CACHE (no need to wipe Dalvik if you wipe both of these)
Reboot your phone
Enjoy CM9 Beta 1
Fixes/Info-for flash with out data wipe
Constant superuser requests - Fixed
when it happens - when you open an app that requires su access
Theory - su updated but the app list didnt causing request loops
how to fix - enter play market; go to my apps and uninstall updates for superuser; reinstall updates; open superuser and manually update binaries
Always shows Updating Android - Info
Info - No fix known, however it does not prevent your device from starting. Itll add on a couple seconds to the start time the first few times the phone is turned on after the first startup after flashing. After a few restarts it only takes a split second and it jumps right to the lock screen.
Reboot/Shutdown hangs (note this is occasional) - Info
Info - When rebooting or shutting down the phone will seem to hang with the rebooting/shutting down notification and the spinner is still spinning. The phone will become unresponsive to button input; that is normal for the shutdown and restart routiens.
Fix - None however the phone should reslove it fairly quickly the longest ive seen it hang is a minute or two then it shuts down or restarts properly. if it lasts longer than that i recomend a battery pull.
Restart doesnt work properly - Info
Info - this usually happens when the restart hangs. the phone will determine that the restart is taking too long and will force shutdown the device. The device will not start back up AUTOMATICALLY. Just turn on the the phone normally as if you had told it to shutdown instead of restart.
WIFI Does not start - info/fix hybrid
Info/Fix - after flashing the rom and the wifi fix, the wifi may or may not turn on/connect durring the first start up, restart the phone. After the first restart the wifi should turn on but be delayed in connecting, wait for it to connect or say its connecting and then restart the phone. afterward there should be no problem with the wifi. if you are still having problems you may need to reflash everything.

DKZ Came out with CM9 for the Droid X2. I tried to flash it and it did not work.
I did some modifying on his file, which he created, to see if I could get it to load in the Milestone X2. We are running a different kernel then the Droid X2.
I wanted to let everyone know that it was a success! With Several hours in trying to locate certain files and modifying them we have
CM9 FOR THE MILESTONE X2
I am in no means taking credit for DKZ's work. He did a fantastic job!
Problems I have seen so far are:
WIFI (working with DKZ to work)
Camcorder
Have not tested
HDMI
Radio
MMS
What works
Data
Text
Call
Touch screen
GPS
Camera*New
Theme's are suppose to work.
The transitions are smooth and I have not had any issues with freezing or anything yet.
When I loaded I came from stock 2.3.6 Rooted
Instructions.
1. Root phone on (how to do that Click Here)
2. Place BSR on memory card
3. Install BSR

So us Cspire users don't have a working sbf? Have you tried this yet? I was just about to do it before I read what you wrote lol
If you guys want WIFI working. All you have to do is ask. I know how to make it work for you guys if the ROMs are actually running.
EDIT: I am going to need a few things from you guys first. And I am going to need one of you guys to get me the SBF for your phone so I can get them. If I have it, I can make one that works (at least for that specific SBF, maybe the others).

is this essentially for x2 owners that are not with verizon?
Below is the SBF for ntelos wireless running 2.3.6. That is the current sbf for that network and phone.
I did want to say that the firmware of 418 that was just recently released is the same as the Milestone X2. Eclipse made his new rom,2.2, based on this update and the wifi works. I do not know if this helps.

Outside of that the rom boots up, Runs great for an alpha. For everyday use it satisfies me.
Are you going to use my version I posted up their? I just took out the kernel checks.
Thank you DKZ!

This is for Milestone X2 owners. We had issues isntalling CM7, MIUI, and CM9 with their release because we have a different kernel. So I modified DKZ original file so we can enjoy this one as well! They will not flash unless a few things are modified. This has been modified so MX2 customers can still enjoy the same things as DX2 customers.
I'll just make a patch that you guys can use.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Awesome!
Here is the patch the *should* work to get wifi working. I have NOT tested it and I don't even guarantee that it'll even flash. It also doesn't have a kernel check. With that being said, if it does work, I can only guarantee that it'll work with the MilestoneX2 version that was given to me in the SBF. As I know there a few versions out there, I doubt the kernel is the same for all of them. I don't have a MilestoneX2, so I wouldn't be able to check these things.
Wifi patch for the NTELOS MilestoneX2:
REMOVED CUZ IT WAS BAD
Also note that this patch (if working) should work with CM7 as well.
I am flashing it now. I will let you know.
EDIT; It did not work. Gave me a (code 6) error.

Try this one:

It did not work. It booted this time but the wifi just says turning on. It stayed like that for 5 minutes.

Did you try Flashing this?
One thing I can recommend is if you are on stock use regular recovery. If you are in CM9 then use The Batched Recovery for CM7. As long as you do that you are going to be alright. Also look at the rerecovery.
Thank you,
Twobrare

i'm going to have to look at the firmware needed for it and how it interacts with your drivers. it might take a bit more for me to work out, but I'll try to get it working for you guys.
I have had many phones and never had as much trouble than this phone is giving me. Every rom that does work when I flash them don't have any wifi or service. Even when I install gapps it is like it skips the setup and goes straight to the home screen.
I just came from a bionic and didn't think it would be much of a change to make this phone run like my bionic did. I have tried recreating rom slots with fresh installs and wipes on several roms, most of them cm10 based and even liquid smooth wont even install which is the rom I love the most. I have looked for several fixes but nothing seems to be working.
Is there something I am missing? Do you have to unlock the bootloader on this thing or something? Any help would be appreciated.

Wifi usually fixes itself after reboot, but for no-service I dont know.. Are you flashing correct version for your Razr (xt910/xt912), or flashing GSM patch if you have xt912 on GSM network?
Not to be redundant, but how ARE you flashing the ROMs? I've never had issues with connections (so long as I am using the applicable google apps, I have had to revert to a release or two earlier for proper operation in the past). I wouldn't recommend flashing ROMs via RSDlite, if that's the route you're taking. BMM and Safestrap (The latter can be achieved with Matt's Utility, it's what I use) are better options. Using a different partition on the internal storage, and retaining Stock rom. I never had any issues with Avatar (CM10.1 based). I'm about to try out AOKP. Good luck.

Well I have been using safestrap since I used it on my Bionic and I am already familiar with it. The one that is bugging me the most is not being able to flash LiquidSmooth 2.9. (I am on SS 3.53 btw) Also I am using the XT912 and already researched the difference between 910 ROMS before flashing.
When I try to install it the error comes up saying:
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
Warning: no file_contexts
set_perm: some changes found
E: error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard-ext/Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-spyder.zip
Error flashing zip
I just wonder, if that thing is saying that the zip is meant to be an update for an existing version of LiquidSmooth. But on goo.im there is only 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.
I've never seen that error (but I've been wanting to try LiquidSmooth, maybe I can duplicate the problem). I know with AOKP, I have to install on romslot2. For whatever reason. Have you tried any other slots besides 1?
EDIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222535
The installation instruction for LiquidSmooth 2.9 say to install on RomSlot3, and only RomSlot3. I'll give it a whirl on 1 and see if the error is duplicated, but it shouldn't effect the install, regardless of the slot #.
http://goo.im/devs/liquidsmooth/spyder/Liquid-JB-v2.9-OFFICIAL-spyder.zip
This is the mirror I used to get the ROM.
Installed on Slot 1 without errors. Flashed gapps, wiped cache, restarted- wouldn't boot.
Wiped and deleted Slot 1
Installed on Slot 3 without errors. Flashed gapps, wiped cache, restarted- Success!
I never could duplicate the error you had, using the JB Liquid Smooth I got from goo.im
Also, for what it's worth, in the "Issues" category on the LS link from above, it said there was an autofix that would correct the wifi connectivity problem. Mine would never fully turn on wifi on first boot. Rebooted, worked perfectly. And the CM style setup went off without a hitch.
I also used goo.im to get mine. I tried all three versions of it but no success; all three got the same error code. I am wondering if the version of safestrap I am using is causing the error.

Just threw out the version 3.5x of SS I was using. Going to try 3.11 and see how it goes. Man, I hope this works, I just came back from using an iPhone for the last two months after letting my brother have my Bionic because they couldn't flash the iPhone on his service provider. I guess if it doesn't work I will be happy having android back nonetheless. Just want something other than motoblur.

So I scrapped 3.5x for 3.11 and the install went perfectly normal. Accidentally installed the wrong gapps package and had a force close assault from hell. Redid it with the right gapps and everything is up and running now. I am so glad to have it running and ready to set up now. Thanks for your help guys!
Hello,
I have just registered and I am sure some people will say I did not need to start a new thread, but I don't think any threads answer my exact questions.
I am interested in installing dragonzkiller's CyanogenMod 10.0.0-RC0 For the Droid X2 on my DX2.
I am looking for a little guidance, I am on 2.3.5 stock and do not know how to get back to the required 2.3.4, I have never installed a rom before, but I am rooted.
I do not know how to make a "backup" of any sort or how to use it should something go wrong. Even though from the video I watched it only took about 10 minutes to install and it worked fine.
I will be using this as a daily driver, as I do not take videos, that wont be a problem, but what I do not know is "Bluesleep" is this a problem? What does bluesleep do? does not having it affect battery life?
And most importantly what does he mean when he says
"Data usage: Just don't ask me. I might get to it again one day. We'll see."
does it leak data? This is the most important to me as I am on a extremely limited data plan, and use droidwall to block most data usage. If I use droid wall on this ROM will it still leak data? Stock ROM does not leak any data at all with droidwall.
Sorry if I sound like a noob, but I would appreciate the expertise of you guys!

Data usage is the app that can tell you what is using data, it was not working, not sure if it was fixed in alpha 3 or not
droid wall should work fine
