For those who don’t know, installing this app will allow you to flash custom bootstrap recovery on your Droid X2. You can flash ROMs, partition SD Card, flash kernels, backup / restore your current ROM and do numerous stuff on your phone once you have a custom recovery on board. In order to install this bootstrap recovery on your Droid X2, simply download the file from here, unzip and then copy the APK to your phone. After you have copied the APK, use any file manager like Astro to install. After the installation is complete, tap to launch the app and follow onscreen instructions to detail in order to flash bootstrap custom recovery on your phone.
In the first step of many to freeing up a Motorola device, our friend Koush has released a bootstrap method compatible for the Motorola Droid X2 With that comes the ability to install and run a custom recovery. Everyone’s favorite – Clockwork – is also now available and ready to go. Things are looking up for the hacking community there.
Get root first:
Gingerbreak APK download:You must login or register to view this content.
After obtaining root rights, you're free to install the Droid X2 Recovery.
You must login or register to view this content.

Unzip using winrar to desktop,then move to root of sd card. Locate using root explorer, and install.After the APK has been successfully installed, launch it (if you do not immediately launch it, it is titled "System Recovery" in the application drawer). It will appear to be the Atrix recovery, but this file has been modified to work with the Droid X2 device. There are on screen instructions, but I will additionally post them here. First, you want to see above for having device root. Second, install recovery by clicking the "Install Recovery" button at the top of the application. After installation, wait a few seconds to ensure it is complete. Now, hook you device to the AC CHARGER (not USB to computer). And click the "Recovery Mode" button to reboot the phone into recovery. The "Charge Mode" button will also reboot the phone, but instead of going into Android recovery, it will boot you to default charge. Many have speculated that this is an "oh shit button." This is not the case, it's just to bypass recovery and go directly to charge. The device will also charge at the recovery screen, so, no need to worry about the device becoming discharged and not being able to boot.
In the recovery menu, we will use the volume rocker to navigate up and down. The power button will be used to confirm/make a selection. The options you will be allowed to choose from are as follows:
Reboot system now
- This will reboot the device and skip recovery.
Apply SDCAR
update.zip- This will flash an update.zip file located on your EXTERNAL SD card.
Apply SDINTERNAL:update.zip
- This will flash an update.zip file located on your internal memory.
Wipe DATA/Factory reset
- Clears the data portion of your device. As stated, is the same as a factory reset.
Wipe CACHE partition
- Simply clears the cache partition of the device as stated.
Install zip from SDCARD
- Allows a .zip file to be chosen for flash. Can be chosen from internal memory or external.
Backup & restore
- Allows creation of a nandroid backup. After backup is created, will allow restoration of said nandroid.
- This is one of the first things you should do when entering recovery. It can really save you some time and headache to have a nandroid on hand in case things do not go as planned.
Mounts & Storage
- Allows mounting of storage locations and allows wiping of those locations.
Advanced
- Miscellaneous options for your device.
+++++Go Back+++++
- Returns to the previous menu.
Thats it! Now your droid X2 is capable of flashing custom roms and kernels. There are currently no roms as of yet, so you'll have to wait. There is a chinese rom but nothing has been changed, so i don't recommend i installing it.
*DISCLAIMER* You are at the consent of your device. If you choose to use, install, or follow any instruction obtained, it is at your will and is out of my jurisdiction of responsibility. You are responsible for your device and what you do to it.
