Ok so i have a stock rooted droid 1 on frg83g 2.2.2. I used soup or root to root my phone and I want to flash Peter Alfonso's 2.3.5 or possible 2.3.4 since 2.3.5 is a beta. The problem is that when I go into recovery mode and try to flash the rom it installs then reboots and continues to loop in reboot. so i get the motorola symbol then i get the droid and then the red eye and then it loops back to the droid and gives me the red eye again.
So my question to all of you is what am i doing wrong? I made a titanium backup of my apps. Downloaded the file given by peter alfonso's site. dropped it onto the root folder of my droid. from there i went into rom manager which has clockwork mod recovery on 2.5.01. so i go into recovery and then make a nandroid backup. after that i found the file after going into install .zip from sd card. then the phone goes into the rebooting like i mentioned before.
Do i need to rename the file or clear any of the caches? HELP IS SO MUCH NEEDED!

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache before flashing?
yeah i did the first time when trying to flash 2.3.5. should i try again with 2.3.5? also note that i did not change the file name to update.zip
Any luck getting the rom working yet?

Any idead to fix these problems?

So simply I just seem not to grasp or figure out how to get Cog 2.2 on my Froyo leak...
I have to root to use RomManager and Clockwork Recovery...I don't know if TheBeast Root will work, I know OCLF won't allow me to try...
I just don't want to flash back to stock if I try the beast update zip and do everything over...
Anyone help with steps from leaked froyo to Cog 2.2? I have looked at their site, and Wiki for step by step...I am just dumb as hell I guess...
Thank you
Use the One click odin method,

I am sorry. I guess I was not clear. I did falsh to stock, now I am flashed to the Froyo leak. Wondering how to get Cog 2.2 beta on froyo. I really want lag fix for it.
If I was in your situation I would flash back to stock 2.1 with odin and then root and install clockwork and then flash 2.2BETAx
Here is how you do it.
Grab the Odin that flashes you back to STOCK firmware.
Flash it back to stock.
Download RyanZA's program and root the phone.
Install Clockwork.
Put the Cognition Zip on the SD card, and select it from Rom Manager/Clockwork.
Flash the phone.
Once you have Cognition 2.2 installed, then you can use the EXT2 lagfix in RyanZA's program.
Thank you SeriousBizznass
I have everything I need.
any body having problems with not been able to get back in to clockwork..?
i've done the steps multiple times even master cleared and started stock stock..but once im back at THE AWESOME rom from cognition 2.2 beta3 but when i reboot it said bad signature or something like that in red .....
I can't get 1.7 nor 2.2 to install properly....awesome.
1. you cannot go from 2.2 to another 2.2 without going to stock first (you at least need the kernel, so its easiest just to odin one click it). clockworkmod/rom manager DOES NOT WORK with 2.2. that is just the way it is for now.
2. it is always good to copy everything from your sdcard over to your computer for a backup and do a master clear or reset to factory format.
3. root it. there are one click methods, there are update.zip methods, and as mentioned you can just dl ryanZA's OCLF (DO NOT RUN THE SCRIPT TO ADD THE LAGFIX, as it will all be overwritten anyway, dont waste your time)
4. install ROM MANAGER, open it, and click on FLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. select captivate
5. put cog.zip file on sdcard (NOT THE EXTERNAL SDCARD, the 13gb one that shows up on your PC)
6. reboot into recovery mode (use adb reboot download, or an app called quickboot, or use the rom manager and click on REBOOT RECOVERY MODE)
7. if green clockwork screen does not come up right away, and you are on a blue text screen, click on reinstall packages, it should boot into clockwork (sometimes this takes a second 'reinstall packages')
8. once in clockwork recovery, select install zip from sdcard, point it to your cog.zip file and bam!
9. profit
Omg...Pirateghost...THANK YOU! Right now it is installing Cog 2.2 beta...THANK YOU!!!
It worked, now I am running Cog 2.2 Beta! SWEET!
Thanks again pirateghost!
I just followed the guide for the current Cognition 2.2 Beta and it seemed to go successful. The Cognition wallpaper is there and everything, but I keep getting this error..and no cell signal.....I also noticed that when I go into reinstall packages and to choose the Cog zip, there are other old applicaition folders/files listed in there along with it. I did do a ODIN restore to factory...shouldnt these be gone and back to stock?
the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly
Can anybody help?

No Odin will not wipe everything. You need to Master Clear to get rid of anything left over from previous flashes. You need to do a factory reset and you should have signal, remove your SIM before resetting, just to be safe, backup any files you want to keep onto your pc because factory reset will wipe everything and you can't get it back. Power your phone on after you remove your SIM card and do the factory reset. If that dosen't work you may need to flash a modem to get back signal. Which version of Cognition are you running?
My question is this: is there a way to verify that the file system and the overall ROM is operating healthy and without any corruptions/problems?
This is why I ask.
So, to make a long and frustrating story short I am/was running the Ginger Clone 2.2 Final R5 ROM and after disabling the lagfix, I installed the SpeedMod Captivate Kernal.
The installation of the kernal seemed to go just fine, after the initial startup I deleted the "disable-lagfix" folder/file and rebooted the device. However, when the phone restarted it froze on the "Galaxy S I9000" screen and would not boot into recovery mode.
After much profanity and futile ADB "reboot recovery" commands, I flashed the phone back to stock with Odin. When the phone loaded again I rooted and installed ROM manager, then I proceeded to restore the ROM backup that I made prior to flashing the new kernal. The backup loaded successfully, but when I started the phone again, it went into boot-loop at the AT&T screen.
Now at this point I'm really pissed off . I went back into recovery and cleared the partition cache and reinstalled the Ginger Clone Rom, fresh. Thankfully I heard the lady cyborg voice stating that the lagfix was being applied, success . The phone started up just fine, and I was able to reinstate the backup rom that I had created earlier.
So now, I'm left wondering if my file system is operating how it should be, sans kernal flash.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Well when you flashed back to stock and then restored your backup it went into a boot loop because the backup does not back up the kernel so the ROM you restored was trying to boot with the stock AT&T kernel...Not going to work. But when you did the fresh install of the ROM it had the kernel so it worked...
try afv or something like that in the market. Its by scary alien and you can verify md5 sum nand backup. i just flashed a new rom but once I get all set up I will come back with the name. Its a free in the market.

No problem Glad to help. Next time if you flash stock after installing ROM manager you can flash the kernel first and then don't boot up just go back into CWM recovery and then restore your backed up ROM and it will work fine.
I'm trying to update Firefly from 2.0.5 to 2.2 but for some reason it's not working.
I used Odin to flash to stock Rogers 2.1 (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20958367/I896UXJI2-homebinary.tar) which boots fine now. I then rooted and installed clockworkmod and uploaded firefly to my sd card and renamed it to update.zip.
Now every time I use clockworkmod to apply the update.zip, it just flashes a few lines then goes back to the green menu.
Can anyone help me figure this out please?

why are you renaming the rom to update.zip?
how do you expect clockwork to actually work? when you flash clockworkmod recovery it puts an update.zip onto your sdcard....that gets you into CWM....
stop renaming roms to update.zip!
Leave firefly name alone don't rename it to update.zip and choose install from zip
[ROM] Precision 3.5 [Kernel] Suckerpunch #51
Oooh! I thought I had to rename it
Let me try it this way then, thanks!
edit: Wow I'm dumb. Can't believe it was that simple.
This is how you brick your phone. Read up on how to flash a rom dont just poke around. But its you phone if you what a $200.00 paper weight have at it.
Issue resolved Thread closed. Please make sure you know what you are doing when trying to flash your phone, Being not sure of it will lead to a big brick
After running rom manager to install from sd card it asks for backup and wipe and reboots to my original stock rom. Im confused. Im rooted have superuser, busybox. I try to manually boot into recovery and it keeps sending me to the exclamation point screen. I can only get into manual recovery after reflashing clockworkmod. When i try to manually flash the rom no .zip files are visible on my sd card. Noob and confused any help would be greatly appreciated. Tring to get over the hump on this initial flash. Used superoneclick to root.

I have the moto droid 1. Stock build is FRG83D running 2.2.1 As i described earlier i am rooted with superoneclick 1.7. When try to flash the rom Buglessbeast ( FRG83DV0621.zip) from the rom manager (install from sd card) it asks for reboot and install, it goes through process, asks for back up and wipe permission. Reboots to stock rom.
I'm actually having the exact same issue. Same Phone, Same Firmware, Same Root process, same point with Rom Manager. Only difference is I'm trying to install Cyanogen. Wierd though, because I had just done it successfully with no problems at all, but now I'm running the process with my friend's phone and I'm having the exact same issues as you.
Okay I have a Samsung I9000m I got yesterday. I made a copy of my EFS from what I Can tell and copied it to my PC. I currently am Running stock Rogers Firmware 2.3.3 and want to install a 4.0.4 firmware like Dark Knights 3. IS there anything else I need to do or can I just copy it to the root of the phone and install it with clockwork or is there something else I am missing. I go to recovery but it is the stock recovery, this is where I ma thinking I am missing something. The phone is also rooted. Can any one point me in the right direction. And yes I been looking on the forums and not seeing what I need.
Thanks

If you can not enter CWM Recovery mode, you can not install ICS. You need to install a kernel such as Semaphore (installed with ODIN in box PDA) and you can install it and ICS with no problem.
Oh I forgot, when you go to install ICS, you must remove the MicroSD, but may occur Bootloop.
and backup the the efs folder first!!!
Sounds like clockworkmod is not properly installed.
Revert to stock using odin. Then install CF-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
This will root your stock rom and install clockworkmod.
OK I have a GT i9000 and I did manage to get into CWMode.
Now each time I try to install new custom ROM (I choose the zip from the SD card) 5secs after it starts installing it reboots and winds up in the blue CWM recovery screen. Tried different ROM's but - nada.
Any feedback?

You need to update the bootloader to a newer version. Install a 2.3 stock rom first and it should be fine.

Well I thought 'cause I'm on GB 2.3.3 it is OK.
Do I really need a new bootloader?
UPDATE: I managed to install the ROM. Dunno why, but on the second CWM screen I again choose to install the zip and it did the job.
