Ok... new problem: I try to "adb push bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk /system/app/" and it says "failed to copy adb push bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk /system/app/ to system/app//boostrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk' : Read-only file system"

Any ideas?

Installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper using Root Browser. When I press "Boostrap Recovery" in it, I get "Failure Error running exec(). Command: [su, -c./data/data/com.koushikdutta.droid2.bootstrap/files/surunner.sh] Working Directory: null Environment: Null"

I've installed ROM Manager from the Play Store. What step am I missing?

I think the problem is that I haven't finished rooting. That goes back to my previous issue which I thought I had solved by going to the Bootstrapper:

This is the problem I am currently having: I've been following the directions on Motorola Droid 2: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki

I've got the Android SDK up and running and can get all the way to step 7 under "Gaining Root Access" without problem (took a few tries but I got there).

Thing is when I do the "adb shell" command I get "error: device not found." Typing in adb devices comes up with an empty list. Any ideas? I can get the DX relisted under ADB by restarting it, but then I have to start the whole adb push rageagainstthecage thing again.

Also, I notice that when I plug in my DX the first autorun that I get is it being read as a CD drive, then I get a second autorun that pops up showing it as a storage device. Don't know if that's normal.

Many thanks for the help!

So this is a Droid X on system version 621, correct?

For the device not found, be sure you enabled us debugging in the settings (developer section).

For system being read-only, run "adb remount" to make it read/write.
For the whole storage and cd thing, pull down your notification bar, tap the usb settings, and change it to charge only.

I didn't read over the last couple pages, so forgive me if I'm repeating things you already tried.

And the winner is: This post. I went and got the ZergRush method and it worked like a charm.

Okay, so now I'm rooted (Superuser) and I've flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (Droid X 2nd-init version) and I guess I'm ready to go.

So now I can download a Rom and flash it in Clockwork mod? Do I have to use Bootstrap each time to reboot the phone into recovery to get the rom to run?

Am I limited in what ROMs I can run because I had the .621 update on my phone and then reverted back to Milestone X .604?

Thanks everyone for your help!

have you verified CWM is installed by rebooting into the recovery? Once you are in recovery the first thing you should do is make a backup! Always do this before flashing anything in clockwork as there is a chance it will mess you up and you'll lose everything.

Use bootstrap for now but once you flash a rom you should use the power menu to get to recovery. I don't even install bootstrap after flashing a rom.

Anything 2nd-init the standard versions should work fine (anything cyanogen-mod (CM), miui, AOKP is 2nd-init). blur based roms (liberty, vortex) you have to use special versions.

And don't forget to make backups in CWM.
