I tried to replace the status bar with the services.jar and framework-res.apk files. I have done this before, but now I'm stuck at the M logo just sitting there.

Is there commands to push those two stock files back to the phone? I booted into recovery mode but not sure if it is possible to transfer those two files over....if so I don't know how. Please help!

if you can boot into clockworkmod recovery then you can fix it by restoring a backup or using adb push to push the correct files back. If you can only get into stock recovery then not much you can do there except wipe data and cache although I dont think that will help at all in this case. I think you are going to have to sbf if you can only get to stock recovery.

I've done that and I can usually get back to clockwork recovery. Then just use a update.zip for a theme or something.

how does one set up this clockwork recovery business? i've themed my phone semi-heavily and have not done that yet.. bad i know, but where do i start?

do i just get the Droid X Bootstrap Recovery thing that koush made. run that, reboot into recovery, make a backup, reboot and im good?

how? with /data/.recovery_mode terminal file?

I just meant by pulling the battery and then powering up the phone does he get into clockwork. There isnt a way to boot into clockwork if it isnt happening automatically. At least not that I know of.

Now I'm thinking, if I was able to connect RSD Lite to my phone to flash the SBF file....would using the adb commands to push the stock services.jar and framework-res.apk back work?

Kinda after the fact now, but was wondering.

adb does not work with the bootloader. Only thing that does is RSD Lite or sbf_flash for linux users.

If your phone could be seen/accessed via ADB, then yes. Very easy to test this...connect and issue an adb command. If it's there, then just push the files and reboot.
