Did you alter the filename or move directories?

Not that I know of....

hi nitroglycerine. as you know ee can backup the partition on our phone using dd command in terminal.

You can check the block partition using root explorer, then go to /dev/block where you can see the symlink of the partition blocks.

This is on my phone (FR european version):

mmcblk1p14 boot
mmcblk1p21 cache
mmcblk1p16 cdrom
mmcblk1p18 cid
mmcblk1p25 emstorage
mmcblk1p19 kpanic
mmcblk1p17 misc
mmcblk1p7 pds
mmcblk1p22 preinstall
mmcblk1p15 recovery
mmcblk1p20 system
mmcblk1p24 userdata
mmcblk1p8 utags
mmcblk1p23 webtop

command on terminal (e.g. to backup system partition):
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p20 of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img

replace sdcard to sdcard-ext if the image to be copied on external sdcard

So we can add to recovery or write a software to make this automatic and restore on phone that have this partion broken?
we can copy partition from good phone to write on bad one?

Posting for the first time.

I have successfully flashed the deodexed razr rom, and have been running it for a few days now. I just rebooted into razr recovery with the bootstrap, which i had done a few times already, and while i was in recovery i lost my ability to use the power button to make a menu selection.

My phone is currently stuck in clockworkmod recovery and I am unable to reboot. I have tried the hard reset with the power button and volume. I have also tried to use adb to reboot, which had worked when i got stuck in the moto stock recovery.

Does anyone have an idea as to how I can restore my back\power button, or reboot in some other manner?

Thanks ahead of time.

Edit#######
I somehow got the problem solved. But it seems like the soft keys can be used in cwm. I didnt expect that. Could. The ability to use them in recovery allow for any more control of this device?

[J.Y.Daddy]

It works well in my Razr(XT910S). Thanks for your work.

One question:
What is soft-key for the CWM activate at boot time?
Or the other way?

Thanks to again.

[J.Y.Daddy]

Not sure I'm understanding your question sorry. If your asking what soft keys select and go back

The ← key goes back.
The magnifine glass, selects

Sorry, i'm short english.

asked again:
When boot begins, is it possible to CWM directly boot?
If possible, what should I do?

Good Luck!

[J.Y.Daddy]

Ooooo I see what you are saying now no you can not boot straight into CWR unless the phone is unlocked or a work around is found using 2nd int. So at this point no.

Thank you for quickly answer.
As you said, we need to 2nd-init or OpenRecovery.

Enjoy and good luck!

Worked Great on my new VZ razr, thanks Nitro!!

-side note... maybe a sim card issue but I'm having lots of data drops, I checked the data manager settings and Network mode settings (cdme/LTE)
Ideas anyone??

[Thach]

Thanks for this. I am getting my ducks in a row before I take the plunge and root.

[drhodus32]

take the plunge and root??? lol Please understand root and its meaning before saying again. Google Dan Rosenburg exploits..please dig for answers...its what makes the community strong

[Thach]

Don't take that the wrong way. I know what root is as I have rooted a few different phones for myself, wife, and a couple friends. I am not a complete noon with this, my confidence in doing it this time around has not been all there due to other things going on in my life. I meant no bad things byvsaying it that way and apologize.

No need to apologize for being cautious. Its always good to make you have everything in order first. Whether you are doing something major or minor.
It's a lot better than spending a few hundred dollars on a paperweight

Ok i have saw a few different bootstraps, just wondering wich is actually tested and works backup and restore, i have read a few horror stories of ppl backing up ok, then bricking after trying a restore.
I used razrbootstrap and then the zip for cwm on boot. Have couple of backups, is there any verification that a restore works with this method?
Thanks

I have been looking all over for the answer to this question and can't find it. What are the proper steps to remove bootstrap recovery completely off the phone. I am going back to stock unrooted and just want to make sure I do it the right way.

[Thach]

Never mind, I followed instructions found on the DroidX forums and it worked perfectly.

[quadjacks]

Never mind, I followed instructions found on the DroidX forums and it worked perfectly.

I tried that and now i'm bootlooping! any suggestions?

didn't renamed logwrapper as the instructions say to delete logwrapper, then next line says to rename it.

1. Reroot (If not currently rooted)
2. Get root explorer in the market
3. Uninstall the bootstrap app
4. Go into root explorer to system/bin
5. In top right corner tap r/w
6. Delete the file called hijack
7. Delete logwrapper
8. Rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper
9. Reboot and it should be gone.
