Major newbie here, so i've gotten up to step 4. but I'm stuck at that.
Q: How do I install Eclipse?
1. sbf to 234
2. Root using MotorolaOneclick
3. Install Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and protect root but temp unroot
4. Apply 235 update in stock recovery
5. Restore root in Voodoo rootkeeper and delete backup (make sure root is restored before deleting!)
6. Install bootstrap
7. Reboot into bootstrap recovery
8. Wipe data
9. Flash eclipse
10. Profit from its beauty
How do I apply the 235 update in stock recovery, and how do I get that? And also, how do you do number 8 and 9, sorry if this is too much to ask. I'm new to this and don't want to go without directions, but sadly to a newbie, this aren't very helpful.
You can look into he droid x2 android development forum forum here or just dl 2.3.5 as if you were updating from your provider, by going to: settings/about phone/system updates.
8 and 9 are options in bootstrap recovery after you perform step 7

Yea take the update they way mombof told you, then open Voodoo OTA rootkeeper and restore root. It is IMPORTANT that after you restore the root you delete the SU Backup in the program or Eclipse install will fail.
Then download Boostrap Recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083
Once it is installed Enter BSR following the directions in the link above and you will see "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" Select it
Then still in BSR you will see "Install zip from sd card" Select it then select "Sd Card" and find The eclipse Zip you should have downloaded and placed on your external sd card. And that's it.
EDIT: By the way 2.3.5 is rootable, I don't know why anyone would do the long method anymore. Just saying. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818758

Alright so, I followed the directions up to where you get into the Bootstrap recovery, once I go into recovery mode from the app, it shows the "Dual Core Technology" screen and nothing else.
Did you press install recovery from within the app before pressing recovery mode? And are you plugged in to a wall charger? You must be plugged in. Just pull your battery and put it back to reboot your phone. If you did press install recovery first then once you pull your battery and put it back in just leave your phone off and plug it into a wall charger and it will boot in to recovery.

That's exactly what I did. If it matters, when I first pressed install recovery and Recovery mode, it never went to the battery screen in the first place, it went to the dual core screen.
And also, I'm on 2.3.4 if that matters anything.
Um ok a couple things. ***Do not install eclipse because it is for 2.3.5. You should have backed up root in Voodoo, Temp unrooted, gone to Settings-->About Phone-->System Update and taken the 2.3.5 update. Opened Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, restored root, deleted SU backup and then installed bootstrap recovery.
When you download the zipped BSR on your computer you should have unzipped it, placed it on your external sd card, Used file manager on your phone to find it, press it, package install. Then open "System Recovery" app and pressed install recovery. Plug your phone into the stock wall charger that came with your phone and then pressed "recovery mode" leaving it plugged in.
It doesnt matter that BSR is installed now, take the 2.3.5 update following the steps above and then once you are rooted again and SU backup is deleted press install recovery again, and press recovery mode. It wont boot to a battery screen, it will shut off and restart into the recovery menu, but you will see the red dualcore screen first for a few seconds. Leave it plugged in and wait a minute.

First of all, thanks a ton for helping me.
So I backed up my root, and temp un-rooted my phone and went into my system update but it was grayed out. I tried the *#*#checkin#*#*, where you call that and it should force the update to 2.3.5, but it still didn't put me into 2.3.5. I factory restored my phone, SBF'd to 2.3.5 as directed by the root guide you gave to me a couple posts back, rooted my phone, downloaded BSR onto my phone, gave it superuser permission. I then plugged my phone into the wall outlet, installed recovery, and then went into recovery mode and it's showed me the dual core screen for about 5 minutes or so, still being plugged into the wall outlet.
I then pulled the battery from the back, and unplugged the phone. I put the battery back in, and plugged the phone back in and it went straight to the dual core screen.
Has this ever happened to people before me? Or am I just doing something terribly wrong and I don't even know it.
Something is not right. However if you rooted your phone using Magic root method bsr should have already been installed on your phone. You're not using the CM7 patched BSR for any reason are you? Do me a favor and try something. In system recovery app click charge mode, turn off your phone and plug it in, tell me if you see the battery icon again.
Are you 100% sure you are rooted and busybox is installed before trying to install BSR? Download rootchecker or android terminal emulator to make sure root worked.
Try uninstalling the bootstrap you added then reinstalling it. Or do a data wipe in stock recovery and reinstall it after.
when using magic md5 root, be careful not to click continue, until phone has completed reboot
or you will skip steps
If you're still having trouble, I strongly recommend Pete"s Motorola Root Tools. It has a one click root option as well as an un-root option, and its very easy to use. I've used it at least 6 times after sbf-ing without problem.
you can't root 2.3.5 with pete's

Whoops, my bad. Assumed he was going back to 2.3.4.
unnecessary, as 2.3.5 is rootable now
and if you are flashing eclipse, you need to be on 2.3.5
E:signature verification failed during Eclipse install

Read your great advice to the previous posts. I am having trouble installing the Eclipse ROM as well. Recently replaced a Droid X with a Droid X2 running stock GB 2.3.5. Rooted phone and tried to install Eclipse, but the installation failed twice with error of: "e:signature verification failed".
I have been searching forums for the past two days trying to find the problem, but have not had any luck.
I have ROM Manager and ROM Toolbox installed, if that info helps.
Thanks for your help!:good:

Thanks for the reply.
I rooted using a self extracting batch file off of the Droid X forum, and I don't think OTA Rootkeeper was any part of that, (Don't see it in my app folder)
Not sure if there is a super user backup, could not find it anywhere..
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks

Dude, you are my hero! Sometimes the the easiest solutions are best. Downloaded a new copy of the eclipse zip file, (noticed that the file size was different from the old one. Hmmm!), Performed another nandroid and titanium back up, reinstalled eclipse...tada! No error!
Thanks!
That's why you should compare md5 checksums on every download

Gingerbread update for the droid x2 is now available to soak testers (2.3.3) !
Non-Rooted (stock) Gingerbread update file
Pre-Rooted Gingerbread Update file
(Links are from p3Droid's website, you'll need to create an account there, which you should do anyway- he's the one that did all the work pre-rooting!)
Thanks to P3Droid for his work on pre-rooting the gingerbread update!
Instructions:
Download Either one of the aforementioned links (the prerooted if you want root, the stock if you don't)
Rename whichever file you choose to "update.zip" and place it in the ROOT of your external SDCard.
-----
If you downloaded the pre-rooted:
Your phone needs to be in complete stock for the update to work. SBF it if you debloated or rooted.
After SBFing, do a factory reset. Reactivate your phone, and reroot it using Gingerbreak. (Credits go to their respective developers)
Install Tenfar Lin's recovery. (Credits go to their respective developers)
Boot into system recovery and install update from sdcard. Select update.zip and install! It should automatically perform another factory reset, but if it doesn't, perform another manually.
Start up, reactivate, and you're done!
----
If you downloaded the non-rooted:
Your phone needs to be in complete stock for the update to work. SBF it if you debloated or rooted.
Power off your phone, and enter stock recovery. Select "Install from SDcard:update.zip" or whatever the command is called.
Once finished, reboot and you should be set!
-----
If you are unsure on how to SBF your phone:
Download daywalker04's SBF leak file and extract it.
Download and install the latest moto drivers from Motorola's website itself.
Download and install RSDLite 5.3 here. Reboot your computer.
Start RSDLite and select the downloaded SBF file.
Power your phone off. Turn it back on, and as soon as you see the "DualCore" screen, hold the power button and the volume down button.
Once you see text at the top, use the volume down button until you see "RSD" and hit the up-volume button.
Plug your phone into your computer.
RSDLite should detect a Daytona device - select it and hit start. Once completed, your phone should reboot and be at complete stock.

Its rolling now. Just updated! Good luck kids.... I couldn't grab the update, so hopefully someone else does.

I am indeed rooted- but the update is only downloading, not installing. So I don't know if it'll install on rooted and debloated phones. I'll post back when I find out.

Yep, I'm in NC
I also have no notice and it says my device is up to date in About phone > System updates, even after a phone reboot.
Somebody post the file!
Post The File(s)!
I got it too! I am downloading on wifi now, 10% done!
P3Droid should have the zip soon. I am still wondering how this is going to work out since there is a new GB kernel. Will a pre-rooted rom with a signed kernel be able to be flashed with the bootstrap?
No time for any review per say, but its fast, and feels solid compared to Froyo on this thing. A lot of new icons too. Anyhow, off to bed.
70%, going MUCH faster on WIFI then 3G.. (Obviously).
Now i did not SBF, i just unfroze everything with BloatFreezer.. I am rooted too.
I'd love to post the file if icould find it, but I can't..

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.

ok so I didnt know I had to be plugged into the wall so I tried that and still no luck. Plugged it in, opened bootstrap, hit Bootstrap Recovery, got the Success popup and superuser permission allowed, and then hit reboot. Phone just shows moto logo and then goes to droid eye and reboots. Tried it twice.
I have the droid 2 bootstrap....wrong one? Any ideas?

Yes wrong one. U need the one for ATRIX that was PORTED to work for ours
Check in one of our "how to sbf to froyo and install preroot gb" threads for system recovery apk.
Edit HERE YA GO http://www.mediafire.com/?y19y123n6tauq7s
USE THAT ONE. DELETE THE ONE U HAVE FIRST BEFORE INSTALLATION OF THIS APK.
[/QUOTE] I have the droid 2 bootstrap....wrong one? Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
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.
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.....

** 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.

DX2 on 2.3.5, can only be rooted with
Magic MD5 Root
edit: magic md5, should install, the DX2 bootstrap/custom recovery, called BSR/ system recovery app
in app drawer, there will be an app called System Recovery, open it and select first option install
when superuser pops up, select allow, then select 2nd option Recovery mode, phone will shut down, may take a little bit
DX2 is different, even from other motorola phones, to get to recovery, it has to connected to wall charger, because its uses a charging mode hijack
DroidX2 Recovery, works and looks like CWM recovery
every time phone is off and connected to wall charger, it will boot to DroidX2 recovery, when system recovery is in recovery mode
to change to regular charge mode, select third option charge mode in System Recovery app

I'm having trouble finding a specific answer to my question so please allow me to be a noob...
I have an X2 running Android 2.3.5 / System Version 1.3.418. I rooted my phone using the automatic method and I've installed system recovery. My question is, can I wipe and flash Eclipse 2.3 directly from recovery on this phone now or do I need to drop back to 2.3.4 like the directions say? Is that out of date?
Also, do I need to get Gapps or is that packaged with Eclipse?
Thanks for the help. I've flashed my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with AOKP, but this is the first time I've dealt with Moto.
Yes you should be able to if you have recovery/bootstrap installed and superuser .if I remember right it has gapps baked in.

Bad Bone, thanks for your reply.
I just did it and everything worked great. Flashing Eclipse is like having a new phone. FYI to other newbs, the instructions in the Eclipse 2.3 thread are wrong if you have 2.3.5. Just use the latest root for that version, install the recovery program once you have root and then boot into recovery to flash the .zip.
It's working perfectly and it's totally awesome. Glad I took the plunge.
Nice

The directions were before we had magic md5 so rootkeeper on 2.3.4 before update to 2.3.5 was the only way to root. Now we can root after update.
