So when ever I try to install the boot img to get my droid up to 800mhz it never leaves the Moto symbol. I'm running 2.2.1 stock, rooted with the more current Clockworksmod recovery. Any ideas?

What r u referring to when u say "boot img"? Did u install a new ROM or Kernel?
It's just the boot part of a nandroid backup.
bump? bump?
Hi, I'm getting the same problem. I used the z4root to root, running FRG22D ver. 2.2. I have no problems using my cpu tuner but want to oc. Any suggestions?

You don't need to install the boot.img from a nandroid. Just download an overclock kernel and then install thru clockwork like you would a ROM. If you're using SPRecovery make sure to rename it update.zip, this should solve your problem.

Hello Guys Hopefully somebody will be able to help me out. I have recently updated my Captivate to Froyo and re-rooted it with no issues. I have sense attempted to make a backup from cwm recovery and I am not able to get to it only just the stock recovery mode. I reinstalled cw recovery and that didn't work so I reinstalled rom manager and reinstalled cw recovery to no avail couldn't get into it. So i rolled back to 2.1 thinking it may be an issues with 2.2 even though I was sure how it was possible and im back to square one. I am still unable to get into cw recovery. yes the phone is fully rooted and i have also did a fix permissions and it completed sucessfully and tried to reinstall and it still doesnt work. Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks
You either have to switch kernel our flash back to stock then load a custom rom.
You should be able to swap kernels using
Sgs kernel flasher app from market, or odin. You would have to figure or which kernel you want to use

Ok so I posted a thread earlier about how my usb drivers arent working at all so using odin to flash back to stock is not an option. I did however successfully root and install andromeda without them. Now heres the problem, I backed up the stock rom using rom manager. Anromeda installed a kernel and modem so I cant use rom manager to back up the rom unless I get the kernel and modem back. My question is could I somehow find the stock kernel file and use neldars sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel back while still using the andromeda rom withouth having any problems? Also, will the modem affect my rom at all because I will change it as soon as i switch roms
H you can not flash a 2.1 Kernel on a 2.2 rom
Not sure what you are looking to do though
Im looking to install a different rom the problem is that I cant use odin because of the drivers not working. What im trying to say is if i flash the backup stock rom from rom manager its going to cause problems because its using andromedas kernel right?
Let me put it like this...is their another way to flash back to stock without using odin and without using a usb cable?

yes. you will need a CWM flashable zip of a 2.1 kernel and modem.
you would boot into CWM, flash that zip that includes kernel and modem, then restore your nandroid backup
ok thankyou!!! Ill try and locate the files myself but if anyone knows where they are and can tell me would be much appreciated.
why dont you just flash a 2.2 kernel with built-in clockwork mod recovery? you dont have to keep the kernel that came with your rom...
so... use sgs kernel flasher, why not? flash a new kernel then boot into its recovery (usually thrugh the power button menu on custom rom/kernels)...
Because I'm trying to install another custom rom, if i install a 2.2 kernel then flash back to.the stock rom which is 2.1 wont that cause problems?

Search jh7 ota design gears posted it a while back. Just must disable all lag fix before flash
ok so i found the file do i go into recovery and reinstall packages or choose zip file ?
With lag fix disabled
Select zip from sd, choose zip, jh7, confirm
Thank you man, helped out alot

Why bother flashing back to stock at all? Just flash the new Rom and save all the headaches having to screw with lagfix.

A better option would be to borrow a friends computer for a minute and fix everything properly...
If I flash a new rom while using Andromeda instead of stock wouldn't that cause.problems on the phone because of the.files being.mixed.or something

How can I install two ROMS (MavROM and ICS) on my D3? one in SAFE MODE and one without.
what programs to use?
I already have MAVROM installed with SAFESTRAP from hashcode, but if i disable it, i get the stock rom.
thank you.
You have to use a bootstrap to flash your nonsafe before you install safestrap
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
can you direct me to a link to that application? all I can find is safestrap from hashcode.
i have this one: "Droid3CWBootstrap"
http://www.appbrain.com/app/droid-x-recovery-bootstrap/com.koushikdutta.droidx.bootstrap
but how can I install zip with it?
I'm sorry I didn't see your last PMs
Anyway.
1) Start in stock ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336980
(Or your non-safe ROM in safestrap and then remove safestrap)
2) After root, download bootstrap (I uploaded it) http://www.mediafire.com/?3u8xhmsp3lg5yfx
3) Install the APK and open the bootstrap app. Press install recovery then reboot recovery. You're now in bootstrap, not from using vol -+ etc (from your PM)
4) Flash mavrom using their CWM Recovery instructions
5) Once you got it setup, remove bootstrap app and install safestrap http://goo.gl/1pr5T
6) Reboot into safestrap and switch to safe system. Make a backup if you want before swithing. The switch will backup your current ROM (data), which is mavrom. Once in safe-system you can now flash ICS using the instructions. This will flash ICS in a different place. When you go back to non-safe system your mavrom will be restored.
Hope it's clear now
thank you. sorry i "attacked" you with a lot of PMs. i tought you had enough
i will try it tomorrow.

Np aside from the fact that I'm not on XDA all day the notification is very small - most of the time I don't see it until the next day
Will this method work with Liberty as well? I have never installed safestrap, but have bootstrap installed. I thought that I had read that safestrap does not work with Liberty ROM.

Great! I will give it a try, basically I would just install safestrap and use Liberty as my non-safe and then flash cm7 for my safe right?

you can't flash nonsafe with safestrap. Gotta use a bootstrap to flash your nonsafe, then install safestrap for flash safesystem. But yes, i have liberty as my nonsafe and ics as my safe
Last time i tried to install MAVROM using CWM, i got the following error:
E:signature verification failed
when updating zip from card.
Installation aborted
what to do?
I dont have the INSTALL from zip option, just UPDATE from zip.
that why i used safestrap.
but if I want to install the boot animation from RAZR, now in which location shall I do that? it used to be in /system/media folder. still there?
thank you, i managed to install both one successfully.

I think thats because you tried to flash using original recovery, you said something with -+ volume buttons?
Please be careful when doing this. While you "can" run 2 custom roms at once it is not what the safestrap system is designed for. Your non-safe rom should be stock and unaltered as it is what will save you from a fastboot flash should your safe rom go bad.

Well there's no reason to have the stock rom on non-safe "in case things go bad" because you can also just use "easy unbrick" which will put your phone back to stock just as fast as switching from safe to non safe.
As said before the only reason where this would be handy is when an official OTA is released, although i heard you need to uninstall safestrap for it to work

Really a fastboot flash isn't such a big deal. I've done it more times than I can count. Takes 10 minutes. Id rather have my fav rom in nonsafe so I can use safe to testing new roms and new ics builds

I think you miss a key point. When you boot safestrap it starts in the non-safe system no matter what you do. Depending on your mode it then moves you to a totally separate partition on the device, preventing you from doing any harm to the boot rom.
The non-safe is key for the entire system to work. Yes it can be any rom, but you do put yourself at risk of losing two installs, including all the data.
Easy unbrick may be as fast to get to stock, but to rebuild back to where you were is going to take a lot longer.
In the end I am just advising caution, not telling people what to do. It does go against what the system was designed for and people should be aware of that before jumping off the ledge.
I understand, but now I have to go back to bootstrap to do essentially the same thing
Not sure if I follow you..
If you are only working in Safe-mode Rom the worst you can do is blow that rom up. Fixing it is just a matter of restoring your last backup via Safestrap recovery.
The problem with working in non-safe rom is that you can blow up both and lose your recovery. From that point you have to do Fastboot, install bootstrap, restore non-safe backup, install SafeStrap, restore Safemode backup.
Unless I am not understanding you correctly.
Hello everyone!
Iv recently acquired a new milestone 3, and after gettint out of the box only did the one click root service to root it up, and installed bootstrap / rom manger and so on. But when I power off the phone holding X I get into a ! triangle screen, which I cant even power down the phone via button.
Also booting with M, or both vol buttons I can get into a list of options, but recovery, bt tools or any other wont get into the recovery mode.
is there any other way? clockwork mod is already installed says the app, and the normal boot goes ok.
Iv downloaded from another post the CM7 which I wanna install, but impossible without the recovery mode.
any help appreciated, all Iv found in the forums was how to get into recovery, but none worked for me.
... never mind
If you are using cwm, make sure you are using the DROID 3 bootstrapper. There is no way to enter recovery without it.
Imo, you should use safestrap (the official version) . It's way better. Because the only way to get to recovery when you have cwm is the bootstrap app, if you bootloop your phone, the only solution is an sbf. Safestrap retains access to the custom recovery.
EDIT: I saw you installed the bootstrap. To get to recovery, open the app and click the reboot recovery option, then reboot your phone.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
both options: bootstrap recovery and reboot recovery goes to normal boot into the OS.
since its a payd up app, already sent email to the devs so I can help troubleshoot whats going up on my device, but got no answer.
Odd. Make sure you hit bootstrap recovery, wait for it to say success, then hit reboot recovery.

I've had that.problem before with the bootstrap before. I could not get it to work no matter what. Rerooted, made sure I had su, busybox etc. Sbf'd and did it all again. Just use safestrap, it works. Just uninstall your bootstrap first

This is the modded version. Its supposed to be able to flash both safe and non safe modes but it doesn't. You can only flash in safe mode. But it does have a console included which can be handy. Its still cwm but redesigned ui. Note that if a rom isn't specifically meant for the xt860 you will need a patch for it. So far only eclipse 3.0 and mavrom 4.0 have xt860 version. I'll also find you the sbf for you. Always handy to have

Choose the one for your carrier. If you are running windows you'll need rsdlite to use it. Just unzip the sbf somewhere on your comp and point rsdlite to the xml file in the unzipped folder. Make sure your battery is charged before doing this. And before flashing anything too. Just in case.
