Minor issue with bootstrap

[cc16177]

I rooted my brothers Droid 2 about a week ago and put GummyJAR on for him to see how he liked it... we ended up reverting to stock but quite often when he turns his phone on it automatically goes into the bootstrap recovery menu instead of regularly turning on. I have had this issue a couple times on my rooted X running Liberty but only occasionally and it doesn't bother me.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to fix this? Thanks everyone

This seems to be a common issue. Unfortunately, I do not recall the fix. Someone with more expertise than me will provide, hopefully.

The only true fix would be to do some removing of files and replace the logwrapper bin that bootstrap places with the original. That or you could sbf it. If your interested I have some instructions for the first one somewhere.

Spazz are you saying that once someone install bootstrap and turns on their phone it boots into recovery?

[cc16177]

Yeah if you find the instructions that would be great, it doesn't really bother me but he wants me to try and fix it for him.

Removal from an Androidforums post:

UNINSTALL the Recovery APK (Droid X Bootstrapper) in Settings, Applications
Reboot
Run "adb shell"
Run "su"
Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"
Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"
Reboot

or

1. Reroot
2. Get root explorer in the market
3. Uninstall the bootstrap app
4. Go into root explorer to system/bin
5. In top right corner tap r/w
6. Delete the file called hijack
7. Delete logwrapper
8. Rename logwrapper.bin to just logwrapper
9. Reboot and it should be gone.

If this screws up you'll need RSD Lite"

Ok here it is. I take no credit nor do I know where it originated.

Sorry I was not clearer.

This is not the first thread I've read indicating that after rooting and installing bootstrap, when powered/turned on, the phone automatically goes into recovery and not it to the OS. Then the user must reboot to get into the OS and use the device.

Is that what the fix you posted resolves?

Yes exactly. It has to do with the method bootstrap uses to access the recovery. Its designed to boot in to it if the phone fails to boot as a safety measure but sometimes it gets, I don't know antsy or something, and does it on every boot.
