06-17-2010 10:05 AMRecovery comes before the red eye. As you are powering up your phone, press and hold "X" to get into recovery. If that's not working, go through the forum and find one of the many .sbf recovery threads and restore your device using an .sbf file. I've done this many times and it works EVERY time.

06-17-2010 10:22 PMMy guess is you didn't wipe your cache/data before you installed Froyo. That typically causes a "boot loop" (red eye of death as you call it)

06-18-2010 07:07 AMActually i did wipe before the install. It was strange though because rather than shut down and go into nandroid to back up it tried to just reboot, and then that is when it went to the red eye. I have tried and tried to get into the recovery menu by pressing the power and "x" button, but it seems to bypass and got to moto screen and then the eye and stays there. Is there a particular link for the sbf file and instructions that is a better one? thank all of you for the responses

06-18-2010 09:11 AMactually it doesn't loop at all, it goes from moto emblem, to moto emblem, then to the droid eye and stays there...the eye is still animated, but it will not move from there unless i do a battery pull, power button is useless Originally Posted by jaed569
