I have a recurrence of a fairly awful problem that I must be alone in experiencing. I posted a while back about my DX having a bootloader error after 1.95 and trying to nandroid backup. I went to VZW and they had no clue and didn't have the capability or intelligence to reflash the software so I received a refurb unit by mail yesterday.
The new unit was already on .340/2.2.1 so I rooted with z4root, loaded clockwork, loaded Rubix 1.95 and then restored most of my stuff via google and mybackup pro (just apks and data, no system).
Everything was fine until this morning when I went back to clockwork and re-bootstrapped recovery (I always do this before I go into clockwork recovery or ROM manager), and had clockworkmod reboot into recovery. I am now back stuck at the M logo. However, this time I can get into the normal recovery mood (Home/Power/Search etc.) In the normal recovery I tried a cache clear with a reboot - nothing; then I tried a wipe data/factory reset with a reboot - still stuck at the M logo.
I am guessing I have to SBF but I am now unsure what files to use for the SBF - I think there are .340 system only files somewhere and I am praying that will work. Does anyone know where those SBF files are and whether they might work or have any other suggestions??
Clearly there is some reproducible corruption of the bootloader (?) with the Clockworkmod recovery bootstrap that I have now unfortunately duplicated on two different DXs but I am guessing I am the only one experiencing this since nobody could even flash a theme after the ROM without going into recovery...
First time I've heard of someone having such problems, let alone repeated... :S And I have to say, I track probably 6 different DroidX Forum sites pretty regularly...
Well I have some more info (they really have no options at the VZW store except a replcement - neither of the two stores I went to had a clue how to reload software). I was able to SBF from a different computer with the moto drivers already installed. I used the .340 system only SBF and the phone seems fine.
Because I'm curious about the problem I then re-rooted with z4root, reinstalled bootstrap and reloaded the same Rubix 1.95 non-themed version. I then went back to the market, re-downloaded clockwork and rebooted into clockwork recovery and it was fine. I installed one of the themes to be sure.
At this point I am left with some difficult options for troubleshooting. I've been using Mybackup pro for restoring apps and data (no system info) although I have complete TiBUps as well. I don't know if something in my restoring is causing a problem or if I have a very bizarre app conflict (I have maybe 200 apps but pretty benign stuff). I'm also wondering if a Mybackup restore of the bootstrapper is causing some conflict???
If anyone has some troubleshooting thoughts I'd be happy to try; otherwise I seem to be alone with this bizarre problem and since it has occurred on two phones I'm sure it is somehow software related.
Thanks for everyone's help, especially Seph (it took you almost two hours to respond - I almost called 911 for you - lol).
