Custom Recovery BootStrapping Pro

---

That's right... it took sometime and effort and some craziness. I have successfully achieved bootstrap and clockwork recovery on my Dpro!!! Here is what I can tell you so far:

My phone is of course rooted.

It is Deodexed using the manual method described in one of my earlier posts!!!

My sd-card came out of my former droid x that was also deodexed, clockwork modded and bootstrap.

Here what I did and without an sbf it was crazy but sometimes it pays off.

I downloaded the Droid X bootstrap from koush in the android market, applied bootstrap and reboot recovery...

I have yet to be able to access recovery via rom manager but I feel I have made a big step towards getting us to that point... I believe with some tweaking and trail and error, I might be able too...

I will post anything else I stumble into.... I will try to hit koush up to see if rom manager can be tweaked.... here hoping!!!

Also remember you take the risks on your own. there's no sbf out so if it fails you are stuck!

Extra Followup

---

I successfully bootstrapped and was able to enter clockwork recovery. Here's some additional info:

Droid X bootstrap appears to work... can anyone verify this other than myself?

You can enter Clockwork Recovery only through the Reboot Recovery button in the bootstrap program.

I successfully backed up my Droid Pro with Clockwork version 2.5.0.6 which runs from the bootstrap. I have not tried a restore to see if it works... has anyone?

I have tried to rom manager and flash a new recovery. Upon restart, phone tries to enter clockwork recovery but freezes on load. I tried to get the phone flashed with the same recovery that is in the bootstrap program but no success.

This is where I am at. If anyone can share any new info, please do... I will continue on my side to try different things. I am also trying to get koush and tbh involved to help without success so far.

Thanks Everyone!

Wow...great job!

I won't bother trying it because I can't afford to mess up the phone, and it's not like I would be able to do anything even if it worked, since I have no developing knowledge, but I do know that this is a big step forward.

It's a great effort mate. I hope the chef's can build on this method and improvise. Hence giving us Custom ROM's to play with.

Custom ROM? Nah... I just want a stock 2.2 Froyo or 2.3 Gingerbread with the moto blur layer and fixed auto problems. Seems droid pro's can't play music without chopping out / stuttering :'(.

x2, the audio is really horrible.

All we need now is the SBF. I hope it gets leaked soon!

I know its brutal. I bet Apple is having a good laugh about this one.

"Play music the best way possible. Now with more skips and chops"

You guys don't like your music chopped and screwed?

I actually haven't listened to music on my Pro yet. Is it really that horrible?
