Rooting/ROMing/Battery pulls??

[thecarlsoncrew]

I've got a Droid X at the moment, but I'm more than likely upgrading to the Maxx as soon as my current contract is up in a few weeks. My X is currently rooted and running the Liberty 3 ROM, but I've experimented with a few other ROMs over the past few months, too, and like the extra features and customizability available by doing that.

If I understand it correctly, rooting the Maxx has already been done and is no big deal, but what happens if something goes wrong in the flashing process? With the X you can just pull the battery and start over if necessary, but with the Maxx's internal battery, that's obviously not an option. Anyone got any thoughts or experiences to share? Also, have the official Maxx SBFs been released yet?

I'm curious what to do about battery pulls too...

What if the phone is 'stuck' and needs a batt pull to reboot it (with or without rooting)?

Power, volume up and down all at once will reboot at any time.

Even if you're in a bootloop?

Never been in a bootloop, but from what I understand it does the same as a battery pull.

I can confirm that the power+volume down+volume up combo will pull you out of a bootloop. I was able to reset the phone and access the recovery mode and use RSD Lite to restore using the sbf file for the RAZR xt912.

Great to know, thanks!

Also, where did you get the SBF file? I haven't been able to find it yet.
