[Q] Droid X 2.2 to 2.1 unrooted. -cant connect to computer.

Cant connect to RSDlite with my droid x
Here is the story.
I could really use some help here. I had originally rooted my droid x and then tried moving the bin to xbin to keep root. But being that i am really new to this i did not know you couldn't update to 2.2 if you had anything custom installed. so i SBF flashed my phone to stock.. left root off, then updated. Being dumb i tried using the root program for 2.1 on my 2.2. says its rooted fine.. it didn't.. no big deal i hope. i don't know if this has any affect as to why this issue is happening but i figured its worth mentioning. Anyways... so now i want to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 so i can root and move the bin file properly but i cant. Every time i try to connect to my computer in PC mode, it fails to load/install the driver for my X. my computer recognizes that its the MB810 but fails... so i cannot connect properly to RSDlite in order to perform the flash.. i have tried connecting in all modes media sync... charge only.. PC mode.. etc.. and yes USB debugging is enabled.. i have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and I'm going crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW i am using windows 7 64bit
UPDATE:
I now have the drivers installed and the phone connects properly to my computer, not sure if i am connecting properly to RSDlite but it still will not allow me to flash the sbf. the sbf i am using is the phoxus -the gift- for the life of me i cannot figure out why it will not let me flash. i open RSD..select my sbf.. connect my phone.. and the start button will not light up.

I would delete the drivers and install the Motorola driver that you can get at Motorola. I have 2.2 which is running great but I still had to reinstall the drivers see that my PC could See my DX.
Before you can do anything your PC has to See your DX with no issues.
Hope this helps
I'm on 7/32

Switch the mode of the device when pluggied in and the drviers should load fine. That said change it from PC mode to Windows Sync Mode and you should be good to go.

Follow this to get your computer to recognize your DX running Froyo, you need new drivers.
1. USB Mass Storage without Development Mode on.
2. MotoConnect will prompt; Install.
3. PC Mode with Development Mode on.
4. ADB activate again on leaked Froyo.

Thanks for all the quick replies. I really appreciate it. I will try all of this when I get home. Thanks again. I'll keep you posted.

I could do everything except "mass storage" on win 7 x64. I finally had to reinstall windows to get it working again. Hope you have better luck.

no sorry, i just did the downgrade and had no problems.

well as it turns out.. somehow i got it working, but i dont know how.. but i did. so yea. i guess installing a new copy of windows seemed to do the trick. I hope this thead can help others also. GOOD LUCK and thank you all for helping me out.

You can also go to ubuntu and get a copy of linux for free, burn it to disc, then boot into linux from the disc. No install needed. Once in, use SFB_Flash (google it) to flash the SFB file...P3Droid and Birdman both recommed this vs the RSDlite.

RSD Error: Phone(0000) Not Compatible with super-file. (ox703b)

Full error message: Failed flashing process. phone(0000) Phone is not compatable with multi-interface super-file. (ox703b): phone connected
This is information only hopefully for someone who experienced the same issue that I did.
Long story short, I ended up boot looping my X by replacing a system file through Root Explorer and not setting the permissions properly before. Going into a panic, I started gathering the files to re-flash 2.1. When I tried to run RSD, I received the above error message. I tried different versions of RSD, different "gifts", different computers and operating systems. I hit google and was unable to find anything to help. I ended up returning my phone to Wal*Mart and got a new one (told them it bricked during an OTA update...)
After sending some messages to rootzwiki and alldroid for some help, I found that it was because the battery was not at 50% or higher (which makes sense because I let the phone loop for a couple hours disconnected from the PC in HOPES that it would come back). I'm not saying this may be the fix for all issues with the above error message, but it may be something else to try if you have tried everything and just about pulled your hair out...
Hope this helps!

FYI the only version of RSD Lite that will work with the X is veriosn 4.7, but you also have to have the OMAP patch file installed otherwise it will still not work. That said I'm not sure which version you tried or if you had it setup correctly but that could be why you wer having issues also besides the battery not being charged enough.

I started with 4.7 and worked backwards with RSD. I have been able to flash my second X with the same config settings on 4.7. The only thing that changed was the charge on the battery

Where can I find the omap patch file is it the ini file located in the rdslite 4.7+patch.zip? Im getting the same error above but my battery is 96% full. This is happening on two differnt Windows 7 32 bit machines..

Never mind it is the patch and its now restoring.

I can upload my version of RSD and the patch I have when I get home from school.
It is going to be about 3 hours.

No need, found here: http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X/Page-3.html
Direct link to SBF: http://www.wikifilez.com/Root Files/MotoDroidX/RSDLite-4.7+patch.zip

uninstall all the moto drivers and re-install them again. see if that works.

Stuck in download mode

I am a long time user of this website, and recently switched from my Touch Pro 2 to my Samsung Captivate. I did put on the Froyo 2.2 leak and it's been alright for the past month. Well tonight I wanted to take a look at Cogintion hoping for a bit more speed without the AT&T bloatware.
I have to say at this point getting Froyo 2.2 on was a pain. It did not work one click. but that's in the past.
So I downloaded the Odin3 from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
I let it stay on file analysis for over an hour. When I figured it was stuck, I pulled the power and rebooted to get to the "phone+!+computer" screen. After some more research I was able to get into download mode, and Odin does see the phone but never moves past File Analysis. I tried the Master Clear and it just says Master Clear started.
I found another thread that mentioned that the phones with a build date prior to 1010 did not always play nice with odin, so I tried the procedure in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
Of course my phone is 1011 and I have not been able to find any info related to my build. At this point nothing is working to recover my phone. Can anyone help?

UPDATE: Good news.. I pulled out an old laptop with windows XP and tried the ODIN3 update again. This time it was sucessfull. I tried this on four different windows 7 machines and could not perform this update. I had full administrative rights, and no antivirus enabled.. So FYI for anyone having issues.

Good to know, Thanks.

Windows 7
Works for me Windows 7 Pro x64
Have Windows 7 Pro x64 on this laptop and two other desktops. No Problems

I agree, I have done my friends older phone from various windows 7 phones with no problem. This one was just stubborn. I can tell you I tried at least 20 times to get ODIN to download the files... It would just never move past the first step. I have since this post tried again from Win7 and no go. Works perfect from the any of the three winxp machines I have tried. May have something to do with my build date? Just guessing.

Advice?

Using the Droid XT875. I live in canada and was using the GB leak for the past 3 months.
recently updated to the .246 and having to issues to say the least.
I tried to convert to ICS and follow the instructions on this site and downloaded the correct files. The flash has failed on my phone using RSD Litev 5.7 . I get a failed flashing process at stage 1/22. This is where is stops.
I have read on this forum in multiple places that this can damage the phone. I have a HTC Desire im using but my question is simple. Given all the smart people on this forum am i screwed? My phone wont turn on and sometimes it will boot in fastboot when plug in. So i can work with the phone connected but im thinking its done and really not going to be fixed. lol.
Thanks.

Isn't RSD Lite a Motorola tool? I don't think that would work with an HTC phone...

Sorry i might have worded that poorly. All the RSD lite and flashing tools were used on the motorola bionic device. The HTC is a seperate phone i have had for a while and currently used (its stock and worked fine). So if the motorola is F**ked then im ok with it. I just was curious if i can fixed the Motorola given it wont even turn on anymore . Or should just give up.

If you can't get it to turn on at all, you're probably F'd. I've had that happen one time before, and using the actual wall changer to charge it got me back to the point that I could boot it and use RSD lite. I've never had the problem with it not getting past the first step, unless I wasn't following the instructions properly.

Try picking up a factory cable, that might help. Where in Canada are you?

Root Note 4 on a Mac without Odin or Heimdall?

Hi all. Thought I'd check if there is a newer method to root the phone on the Mac.
I can't run Odin on a Mac and I don't have enough space to bootcamp into Windows. I've tried Parallels in the past but it didn't work.
I understand Heimdall is not maintained now? I've tried that in the past too but couldn't find the PIT file for my phone anyway
So I've been stuck and now the phone is acting up. So much junk on the stock rom.

I was in the same boat with a new MacBook being my new computer. I ended up boot camping windows 10. I tried to figure out jodin with no success. Maybe someone who has done this recently will chime in. Good luck.

You need to download the heimdall, that is compatible with your operating system. For me, I am on El Capitan, so I downloaded the one from here. Once I installed that, I ran the heimdall frontend app first. I went to the "utilities" tab, connected my phone, and then clicked "detect." Once my phone is detected, I just saved the pit file.

Not for Nothing Folks, You can get a windows computer/laptop very cheap now a days. If you are planning to do a lot of flashing on android phones, nothing beats a cheap windows computer. MicroCenters, Amazon, Ebay, Best Buy have cheap computers that will be able to do what you need for flashing your phones. I know you can do it on a mac ( and some say it is easy or fast), but you have to make sure it is setup correctly or you can do damage to your phone than it is worth. I used to run Mac, and I got tired of trying to get things that run on windows and not on mac, to work correctly. I cant remember the last time i even started my mac book.. LOL
Just something to think about..
****And no reason to argue with me or prove that mac is the best out there, or you will never buy a windows computer. ***

Google and try jodin. It's a Web based java program. Ive successfully flashed my N910T and G900T with it.
