Only boots to recovery screen

[Whtchlt07]

I have a Motorola droid that is unlocked for metro pcs that I bought a couple days ago from a friend, when I bought it was on the home screen. I turned it off then back on again and it just kept rebooting, now it only boots into recovery. This is my second droid that does this. I don't know too much about phones, does anyone have any info that could help me get it back up and running? I really like this phone and don't want to loose it. Thank you.

It's the flashed to Metro, that is stopping people. I put my phone in a loop once. The only way I could fix it was to use a program called RSD Lite to put an .SBF on it. To do that, I needed the Motorola drivers and I don't know what all else because I also had the Android SDK installed.

Poke around and see where to get and how to run RSD Lite. You can get a stock SBF file from here Sholes - Downloads

I have no idea if the phone will be okay for Metro if you do this. If it doesn't, look at Page Plus.

Either find a store or you can do it yourself, here is something I got from googling it, http://cdmagurus.com/archive/index.php/t-2866.html

I'm rooted and that is what I get, too. I use the free version of ROM Manager to get into recovery mode. I think you have to be rooted to use ROM Manager.

If you want to flash to Metro try these files http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1623679-motorola-droid-sbf-file-leaked!!!!!!

There is another thread on here now just about that.

If you rooted correctly and followed the guides u wouldn't have the stock recovery, part of that process is flashing a new recovery, I'll link the rooting guide again for y'all
