CyanogenMod

Guys,
I'm losing my mind here.
I've tried to install the CyanogenMod but I've run into some problems.
Why is it so damn difficult to install this?
I've spent 4 hours following different guides and none of them are step by step.
The ones that come close, never mention possible issues along the way which you then have to find on other forums.
Anyway,
can someone please help me with the following:
I'm getting stuck on booting into recovery.
I run the command and the phone reboots. however, it then presents a Triangle and an exclamation mark!
The instruction show that I am supposed to see a Green text recovery screen.
I'm having to hit the up volume and power button, which gives a blue text recovery screen with limited options.
I've tried the Amon_Ra's Recovery process and the ClockworkMod Recovery process to no avail!!!
I also tried the rom manager but the app keep giving "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"
I know it's something that I'm doing wrong but I'm very close to throwing this phone out the window and going back to an iphone... This is just not ****ing worth it.
I've done everything up to reboot to recovery part from this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
/please help.

Your Bootloader is unlocked?

Go to this thread. Read it. Download the apk. Root your device (you could not flash a custom recovery because you are not rooted!...). Download RomManager from the Market. Install a custom recovery through RomManager and you are done.

Reading other thread now.

mhhh ok. So you probably have no insecure boot image. That's probably why you can't flash any recovery from RomManager....
Try this at MoDaCo. Download an unsecure boot image... And try again.

Downloaded Universal Androot.
Clicked to root, goes OK ok ok ok ok ok ok ok then "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu Goo ~~~
edit - trying superoneclick

ok, superoneclick seemed to have work and rooter the phone!
using rom manager to flash the clockwordmod recovery now. Lets see if it fails and gives and permissions error. If not, I'll boot into recovery and see if that works.
thanks for the assistance thus far.. /puts iphone back in the drawer.

recovery worked, ran the update.zip
downloaded the Cyanogen mode via rom manager, but when it tried the clockwork recovery, I get the triangle again... frustrating.

I have the same problem...Well i rooted with superclick then when i go into recovery mode and click on recovery it shows a white triangle. I removed the memory card while rooting, could that be the problem?

You need to delete the following two files, and reinstall your custom recovery. These files restore the stock recovery during a full boot.
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p

Remember, once rooted you will need to instal a custom recovery. You will also need to delete the two files I mentioned above, otherwise you will lose custom recovery when you boot...

As stated in the name, to get into OpenRecovery you want to enter Recovery mode. When the phone is off, hold power+x until you see the Motorola logo. Then hold camera+vol-up to enter recovery mode, select update.zip and then you will be in OR.

I've done that but the only thing that shows up is the bootloader which says batteryk
ok to program
transfer mode: usb
thats the part that it wont go past

did you turn off the phone before you tried?

Yes, tried it with phone off first but no luck

I hv the same problem. The update file is corrupted.
I flashed back to original rom then recovery then open recovery...
finally, custom rom.

Happened to me to way before. It was because the sbf file we flash through rsd lite was corrupted or something. If you need a good version maybe I can tell you where to find it.good luck.

Droid 3 Stuck at M Logo - Bricked?

Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...

seems like a soft brick... should be fixable...
With the phone off, hold me, then the power button... then go down to BT TOOLS and select it ( volume up is the select button _ so when u do that it doesnt go to it?

I don't have a BT Tools selection. I do have BP Tools though. I selected it and it just sits there on the M logo as well...
I've tried a few of Pete's scripts with no luck so far (worked on the old Droid 3 when I put it back to stock before shipping it back).

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

okay right after you use the 1click sbf
go HERE
download the. 906 update
place it on your external sdcard..
reboot into STOCK recovery and install the update
reboot
try that

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).

[Q] Boot loop stock

Hello, folks!
I have a Milestone with stock android (2.1 I guess, after an OTA update from the provider) that was in the drawer for ca. 2 years because the POWER/VOL/CAM flat cable was bad. I changed the cable, was able to boot normally one or twice.
Now the phone freezes with the white motorola symbol.
When I turn it on with PWR + D-pad UP, I get into the bootloader v. 90.73.
Werid thing is that when I try to boot into recovery (PWR + CAMERA), I still get into the bootloader, so I can't get into recovery to try installing another rom to circumbent the boot lock-up.
Ideas to solve this?
Thanks!

It seems like your bootloader is corrupted.
If i were you, i would upgrade it to the latest version (90.78) and try with it.
(Also you should consider using CM7 or even CM10.)

Thanks!
How can I upgrade the bootloader? Is there a zip or an img file somewhere to push?

I dont know exactly, i didnt have to do it before.
I'm pretty sure, you can brick your device with this if something goes wrong.
I think you will need the following:
-Drivers
-RSDLite
-proper SBF file from here
But i dont know if you need to boot into bootloader mode or something.
Please, be very-very careful, maybe you should wait if someone with more knowledge gives you any advice.

Did you manage to get the Device manage to take the new boot loader via usb?
If it did load the SBL try loading the vulnerable recovery sbf then put open recovery on to your SD card. If you can get that fair then I'd imagine you could load a new OS on to it without much issue. Lots of guides out there.

I have a paperweights, help...

I have root and unlocked bootloader. I did an update of lg and thereafter blocked, do not know if this was the problem.
Install the CWM by room (room enox iodak08 +), I can enter the bootloader, installing, when reboot the sistem entering the boot but does not start with the system and back to CWM after being taken. I can not get into the room and I can get into CWM. I've done factory reset and wipecache, I returned instal to the room, and nothing, enters the boot but does not start with the room.
I'm in a tricky situation, I stopped to have a mobile phone and I stick one paperweights. Need a little help.

Good Luck..

as I am in CWM recovery, removed the sd card and put a room.zip and flash. Did the installation but when "reboot sistem" back to cwm recovery.

The problem is that the Phone was locked into CWM recovery. And I have no way to recognize the phone on PC. Is there any way to unlock the CWM recovery v6.0.4.5?

It has been stated time and time again that your must NEVER carry out a vendor OTA on a rooted or modified device. It causes a problem 90% of the time as the OTA has no flexibility to deal with something it isn't expecting to find - so you get exactly what you have.
Just be thankful that it is almost impossible to hard-brick our device or you really would have a paperweight. Instead you just need to search and read a little to get it back up and running.

You need to get your PC to recognise the phone, thats the first step in this repair (unless the usb port is broken, there's no reason why it wont recognise, whats your OS and version, usb 2 or 3?)
why not put cm10.1 on a microsd and flash it from there?

it still won't work, after upgrading it ota while having custom recovery installed, a person will be locked to recovery for some reason (atleast other people were). the only way to fix it that i know of is to reflash a kdz

cmon, pay some attention you don't need to turn on the phone, or boot into the system itself to boot into s/w mode. now, there are tons (like 3 or 4 guides, plus many other topics opened by people with exact same problem like you) threads that tell you what to do (hint: figure out how to boot into s/w mode), so i'll let you search around for the guide.

I suggest using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2682146
It's easier, faster and safer than flashing a .kdz file. (Plus, it tells you how to get into the s/w upgrade mode!)

I think this method also flashes a kdz, but does it automatically for you. But yeah, this one is easier than manually flashing. Thanks for posting it
Also, thiy method will format internal sd card. My suggestion is to do a data/system format from cwm before you go in to flashing a kdz, either manually or automatically, so you don't end up with formatted internal sd card

A big thanks to SimonTS, JoinTheRealms, Flying_Bear and balloon27. This is a fantastic forum and you guys are spectacular. Due to professional reasons only going back to the forum after seven days, I go to the sea and I'm without net. Got this getaway just to thank you for the care provided, the mobile phone is the same and will just touch it after a week. Once again, thank you very much.
