I loaded the latest CM7 RC to my SD card, and selected it via ROM Manager to flash, and when the phone reboots, it hangs on the HTC screen.
Any ideas? Help!
I think the issue maybe related to the Clockwork recovery that was just updated, but I cannot tell. I did Flash the ROM a month ago before the ROM Manager and Clockwork recovery updates.
Hold volume down button and press and release power to get into recovery, reflash from there or restore a backup

Thanks, but my phone freezes on the recovery option. I have gone in the HBoot and chosen recovery and it freezes.
Have you tried turning off your phone and then holding down home and pressing power? I usually find it better that way.

Don't hold the power button - just press and release it.

What does this mean?
I never saw you mention a wipe, so did you ? If its your first time flashing gingerbread you need to wipe. Go to aospCMod gingerbread first post and click the "readme", its a wiki with really good instruction.
sent from a series of tubes
I will give that a read tonight. That wouldn't explain why ROM Manager is not allowing me to boot into recovery though? Would the Wipe help with that?
I will read the Wiki (in case I am asking a question that is answered there)
I Flashed the ClockworkMod again, and now I can get into recovery. I think I should be good from here. Thanks!
Just an fyi, I always flash roms from recovery directly, not rom manager. Has always worked better that way in my experience.

Big PROBLEM. Everything was great with the Rom and overclocked kernel. Then the force close acore happened so much, i thought i would perform a restore. But did it through Rom Manager instead of CW recovery. Well Rom Manager threw me into the original android recovery? and it will not allow me to do anything. I get the white triangle with exclamation, when i touch the home button it gos to the Android sytem recovery screen instantly, but does not allow any functions. Push and hold power off is all that works. Then reboots to the same exclamation. I tried flashing both the Khasmek kernel and rom via Heimdall, which reports succuess, but im am still at the same exclamation. Am i bricked?

Can you get into download mode??? if so you not bricked.. voodoo mod was very glitchy for me, when i flashed overcome rom to my verzion tab.. i couldnt wipe anything i got that same screen with the triangle and not matter what i was doing it would go back voodoo cmw options then triangle. so finally i reflashed back to stock then booted into original recovery and wiped from there, both data and cahce. i was able to boot back up into android, from there i reflashed voodoo recovery and oc kernel and then was finallly able to use my nandroid back up.
stay away from rom manager, just power down the device to get into recovery or download mode. with the device off hold down power button and volume down button and yellow triangle should appear then flash back to stock... your gonna have to reboot into recovery after stock flash, and wipe both data and cache this should get you back up and running.
Its just getting ugly. Wont even power down. when i push and hold power off, just turns back on into the triangle exclamation, again, touch the home button and im in stock recovery screen with the exclamation still on that screen too. I can scroll up and down with volume, but when i push power to select nothing happens. Yes, i can get into download, like i said, ive reflashed everything successfully, according to heimdall, but nothings changed, just boots back into triangle page.
well,
i got lucky this time. found the original vzw files and installed them via heimdall. Seems to have taken me past the problem. Wow, that was scary

Google found them WHERE? I've been searching for hours. I need original VZW VCast files back so ECO2 script won't crash when it tries to update them.
Update... I never did find the VZW files with Google Search, but the fix here in this thread restores everything back to stock including all the VZW bloatware. The fix works like a charm, by the way, for completely restoring the Tab back to stock.
So I found someone posted how to get our phones into SAFE MODE yesterday. Basically wondering what does this entail? What can it be used for? Is it pretty much the same as SAFE MODE on a PC for fixing issues? Anyone know any REAL DETAILS. If you can spell them out here. I am wondering if it can be used in cases where we did something like flashing a theme, kernel, etc. And wound up in a bootloop if we can go into safe mode and make changes or fixes to what we did? Is it to be able to recover from a crash? Is it for fixing wifi issues? What else would it be included for? Any thoughts? Or input please. I may play around with it a bit to figure out more.
I have tried this on CM7 and on Continuum 5.5 so I am not sure if it only a Gingerbread thing or not. If you are on froyo or eclair try it out and see if it does go into safe mode also.
HOW TO:
1) REBOOT YOUR PHONE
2) ONCE THE BOOTSCREEN COMES UP HOLD DOWN THE MENU BUTTON AND KEEP HOLDING IT UNTIL IT IS FULLY BOOTED.
3)Boom You are in Safe Mode.
DO NOT BE WORRIED IF YOUR HOME SCREEN APPS AND SUCH ARE NOT THERE. IT IS SAFE MODE. TO GET OUT OF IT JUST REBOOT PHONE AND LET IT BOOT UP NORMALLY.

What? it works the same on froyo and gb. Hold the menu button when the boot animation starts. No touching of any if the hard buttons.
This question is probably stemming from my comment In the talon thread yesterday...
no it can't be used to fix a bootloop from a bad theme or incompatible kernel, those are still system processes that are loaded in safe mode. What it's for is if you have some user app that's running amok...say you have an app that is constantly force closing, so much so that you can't get into uninstall it, or the app caused it to loop, boot into safe mode and it won't be loaded so you can easily navigate to where it's installed and delete it.

I can get into safe mode by only pressing the menu button on Fusion. Tho I was pressing it from before the boot animation started, if that somehow makes any difference.
P.S. I think it killed my widgets... since they are wiped off the home screens, and the only thing I did was reboot into safe mode and reboot back out.

Oh yeah that'll happen...those are apps that aren't loaded, and you have to reset them after normal reboot from safe mode. It's kind of like when you restore your launcher with tibu after a flash, the widgets will either be gone or won't load.
Just as a posted on another thread, now my phone is running android1.1, after i turned the screen off, i can no longer wake it up by pressing any button or sliding keyboard, but the keyboard light can be lighted...
What do you mean by "turned the screen off" turned the phone like completely off or just put it to sleep? If you flashed, then check to see if your radio/spl matches up to the roms requirements. If not, then thats the reason. If you just put it to sleep, try factory resetting your phone via holding power+home to get into recovery, then alt+w

It could be the rom youre using. Try updating to the latest radio/spl and downloading frosense or any of the cm7 roms. I dont think its the lcd. If it turns on at all, then the lcd's not the problem. Thats what im thinking because i dropped my phone in water before, the lcd was damaged. SCreen wouldnt even turn on, but i could hear everything. So yea. .

Well, the problem is updating recovery, i have tried many times, but after i flashed the recovery using fastboot or flash_image, the recovery mode cannot be displayed normally, only the last line" Build: 1.7.XX" can be seen, there's no items above. So i've no idea how to flash roms. Can i flash roms in the fastboot mode?
Are you rooted? If you are, then i have a solution for you.
Assuming you have root- Download ROM manager from the android market (the free version) and open it. It'll ask for superuser permissions. Click allow. then click flash clockworkmod recovery. Then itll give you a list of htc dream or magic. Click the dream and let it download. After it finishes, itll say "clockworkmod download complete" or something like that. Then theres another option on the app that says "reboot into recovery" click that, and flash the recovery you want. I recommend that you just use cwm recovery as i am using it on my g1. .
If you dont have root, then.... I have no idea. Sorry. And no you cant flash via fastboot.

my phone is rooted, but the Rom manager have to be force closed once i run it, i have tried different versions of Rom manager and different roms.
I have flashed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 via fastboot, but it didnt show anything when i enter recovery then.
Now I dont think i can flash Roms via recovery, so i prepare to do so via fastboot, i'm learning how to make *.zip packages for fastboot, its different from packages for recovery as i learned.

easy fastboot is just that; an easy way to use fastboot for the novice. also try droid explorer, a very simple to use program that may help you download what you need. both are free and easy to find links to - just google search or search these forums.

What was the exact name of the rom (or filename)... was it a stock rom (SBF/XML) or was it one of the custom roms?
Also was your phone rooted?
I was trying to install a couple but the one I really have been trying in the liberty 3 2.0.

Are you using safestrap for your clockworkmodrecovery or are you using regular bootstrap?
And when you're in clockworkmod recovery what exact steps did you do to flash? You should wipe data & cache, then choose install zip from sdcard.

I don't know how to use or get bootstrap and I don't know alot about safe strap yet. I tried different ways I tried using rom manager an downloading the rom from there then it will ask if I want to boot into recover I push ok and the phone just reboots. Nothing happens so I tried rom toolbox an did the same thing. So I tried to boot myself by pushing the power and x an I did as you said I wiped data a cache then I reset and restored my phone went back an installed zip from sd card then it starts to install then it says E file signature verification has failed.

Ahhhh ok.
It sounds like you are trying to install zips via the stock recovery. That recovery will only install signed/official ones, not custom rom zips.
If you want to install custom roms, try this method (but I recommend browsing through the other threads. There is a lot of useful info out there). This is the safestrap method. Safestrap allows you to have your stock rom (that you are on now) in the "non-safe zone" and with safestrap you can enable the "safe zone" for installing your custom rom.
1) make sure your phone is rooted if it isn't already. There are threads about this... I used DoomLord's root (version 4) for my phone but read up.
2) install safestrap 1.08 (u can find it in the droid 3 development forum). It is an apk file.
3) when you run safestrap 1.08 from your app drawer, superuser will probably ask you if you want to allow it root access, say yes.
4) in the app, hit the first button. It will install safestrap so you can boot into safestrap recovery. When it says its done, restart phone.
5) upon restart, you will be greeted by the safestrap splashscreen. It gives u 10 seconds to hit Menu to take you into safestrap recovery. Otherwise it will just continue with booting.
6) so hit menu. Safestrap ecovery appears. It will indicate that safe mode is not enabled yet. You are in non-safe right now (your stock rom)
7) this step is optional but I'm sure everyone will recommend it (I do also). Navigate your selection with the down/up volume buttons and hit power when you get to "backup". This will back up your non-safe zone and dump it onto your sdcard (internal or external). You can restore it to your non-safe zone (only) if you happen to mess up your non-safe system. The backup will be stored in /safestrap/backup. of whatever card you select.
8) now that that's done, it will take you back to the main menu of safestrap recovery
9) Go to "safe boot menu" and hit Toggle safe zone. Don't do the quick toggle, just do the normal one (the first one)
10) when that is done, you will notice the colour of the text has changed. And at the top it will say safe zone enabled. You can now install your custom rom by going to "install zip from sdcard" from the main menu of safestrap*
*Note that when installing roms, make sure to choose Wipe Data first. It will wipe your data and cache. Then go into mounts and storage and choose "format /system" (thanks Endo). Some people also like to go into the advanced menu and wipe the dalvik cache as well (is this necessary? I do it every time because I had to back on my old htc... maybe someone can comment on this?) It doesn't seem to hurt anything when I do it, so...
So after your wipes, you can go to "install rom from sdcard" . Choose the .zip of the rom (of course) to begin install. When the rom has finished installing, you can go back to the main menu and choose reboot phone. You will be greeted by the safestrap splashscreen again. It will tell you that safe zone is enabled. Wait the 10 seconds to boot normally or you can hit the search button to go immediately.
On first boot of many roms, it may take a little longer than normal to start up. Be patient. If it never boots (and you are looking at the boot animation forever... say more than 5-10 minutes?) Then... somethings wrong, or you may have forgotten to do your wipe procedure, but go to that rom's thread and read all the posts to see if others experienced the same thing... someone could have posted a good suggestion or solution
Oh, if you want to switch back to non-safe mode, restart phone, get into safestrap recovery, go into safe boot menu, and hit toggle. Then restart phone.
If something disastrous occurs, there are Unbrick and Fastboot threads in this forum where you can download a stock rom for your phone and flash to your phone via RSD Lite, which will pretty much restore your phone to stock. (No more safestrap, no more root). Read through those to get more info.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

I'm not really sure what you are doing but uninstall any recovery you may have installed and ditch rom manage(you can keep the toolbox) go to www.hash-of-codes.blogspot.com go to downloads and get safestrap. Install it, open it and click install recovery. Reboot your phone, you'll get a screen saying pish menu to enter recovery then once it enters go to safe mode menu(or whatever it exactly says) and enter safe mode. Once safemode is active(it says at the top of the screen)go to mounts and storage and format system then do a data/cache wipe, the install zip from sd
If you're doing what I think you're doing you are new to this and I would suggest reading as much as you can in this forum and by googling the various terms you find so you don't brick your phone

If you have your heart set on rom manager, I believe it will work, but I've never used it so I can't help you there. I recommend safestrap because once you're in safemode its pretty hard to screw up your phone in any serious manner. In safemode you'll always be able to access recovery.
In a google search of your issue I found a recommendation of turning off signature verification. I know I've seen an option for this or something really damn similar in clockwork recovery. You can try that if you like but I don't know the effects of it. As always, I'm not responsible if you brick your device
That said, I would also suggest that you look into obtaining rsdlite and the appropriate fastboot package(you may know this as an sbf, although that term isn't totally correct)so if you do brick your device you know how to recover it. There's a sticky in the dev forum about it
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Thank you I understand I wouldn't ever blame anyone for my mistakes so your good. I was thinking about using safestrap anyways just haven't had time to research it much yet. Probably would be best since I don't know much about roms anyways. Now it's not that I have it set with rom manager just seemed easy to use and I like rom toolbox alittle more anyways. I also know that not all roms are comparable with the safestrap so that's another reason why I haven't used it yet.
Now on another topic. I have downloaded safestrap on my computer all I have to do is plug my phone to the computer an put it on mass storage and place it in the sd card or internal memory and unplug it an click on it on my phone.
I really need to start some research cause this stuff is pretty hard.
But thanks for your help again

I don't know how I missed your huge write up. More detailed than mine.
I figured the same, stock recovery. I'm not sure what steps he's taken before he wrote this thread.
OP if its the boot animation, on first boot it takes a long time. 5 minutes normally but give it 10 to be sure. If its the splash screen you may have issues. Is the safestrap splash coming up, where it says press menu
You may have to use rsdlite or the fast unbrick to restore your phone to stock. If you can write us EVERYTHING you've done in as much detail as possible, and exactly what is happenig now we can come up with a solution.
I think often all the various terms can be confusing to newcomers. I have a feeling perhaps that you still have a bootstrap installed and safestrap.
