Phone gets to red eye and reboots

I am having a huge problem with my Droid X right now.  My phone rebooted and everytime it gets to the red eye it reboots over again and won't get past that point.  I held down the power and home button and tried wiping my cache and even wiping my data but still the problem persists.  Anyone that can help or has any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sounds like you may have installed or changed a setting that has put you in a bootloop on startup, this happens from time to time if you run into a incompatible software....  This usually works to resolve this but it will restore the device to stock settings.

 

Try Safe Mode first and see if you can boot, if so then you can try to uninstall all recent installed apps from Settings . Applications . Manage Application..

 

Boot your Verizon Motorola Droid X in Safe Mode. This will allow you to access the device with the original software  and settings if something is preventing the device from starting.

 

1. Power the Droid X off.

2. Press and hold the Menu button on the lower-left side of the screen.

3. Keep holding the Menu button while the device starts until you see the Home screen load. It should say Safe Mode in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

 

To take the Droid X out of Safe Mode, simply power   the device off, then back on.

 

If this doesnt work then a hard reset is the best solution...

 

Power Device Off First.....

 

1. Hold Home Button and press power

2. Screen will show a Android with a triangle with astrick

3. Let Go of Home Button and Power

4. Press Search Button (Far Left Button)

5. A blue menu will show at top of page, scroll to Format Device

6. Select Yes to verify

7. Allow format to complete (Information at bottom of page will go through a few steps)

8. Once Format is complete Blue Menu will show at top again, select Reboot


Note: Use volume up and down to select opinion and use camera button as Enter,,,
