Ok, Papa Smurf put together a really good ROM, I'm just such a noob its killing me. All of the Jargon involved in this is very far over my head. whenever one of you guys say any technical term, i literally have to go look the word up. Rooting for most people with a working brain is a cakewalk. That wasn't the case for me. But i stuck in there and got it done.
Then it came time to install the ROM. I looked through the thread that he posted the ROM and never found any real directions. I'm sure this is due to the fact that everyone has enough sense to figure it out on their own.
What i did was went to the ROM manager and installed the ROM, then re-started my phone. it stuck on the htc screen for a minute then the droid eye thing came up and that kept looping. Soo, according to what I understood from the directions....i took the battery out and put it back in. The first problem I am having is how to turn my phone back on now. It's not even recognizing that the charger is plugged in. The second thing i need is for someone to give me any type of directions on hoe to do this the right way. I dont know how to flash the jit file either.
I'm sure i sound like a fool but thats what i am. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me.
I got my phone restored back to the way it was before I tried to install the ROM. I just need to get the ROM installed.
I got it I guess. I just restarted my phone about ten times and it eventually took... a red eye popped up and it said "droid" over and over like it has been doing. Then the rotary lock screen came up and i started to set up my phone. but after i finished it went right back to the eye thing. Is it because of the JIT.ZIP file not being installed right?
That's pretty old. Why not try a nice 2.2 or 2.3 based rom? 2.1 is so... old.

Cm7 or aospmod both are fine choices for non sense roms. Not real sure about sense roms, though. LiquidSense, maybe? Remember to wipe everything before you flash a new rom. Dalvik, cache, data all need it when flashing a new one. More than likely, that is what is causing your boot loops. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all were new once. Btw, I said "hard on"! *Beavis laugh*

Sounds like you may have not done a wipe before you installed the ROM?
I follow the procedure from the CM wiki (because that's the first ROM I flashed)...

I followed these instructions and when I reboot it hangs at the HTC screen. I pulled the battery, waited 1 min. still hangs. I wiped and reinstalled and same results.. any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Thanks, Ted O
I wiped it, just not good enough apparently. I eventually. Got it working it just wasn't working as well as it looked. I'm gonna try the 2.2 that was suggested.

Just to clarify, I haven't flashed your 2.2 yet. I was still referring to the red dawn rom. If I flash your rom I will I be able to run adw? Probally not right?

What recovery are you using? If it isn't RA, then I can't tell you. I would assume the dalvik wipe would be somewhere around the other wipe options.

Yes I know. But for instance since putting 2.2 on my phone I haven't gotten CWR to work. I am a noob when it comes to that stuff but I found this and it made it easier at least for that moment.

fair enough....my advice though (and i think most would share it) if you cant get clockwork recovery working, then try and figure out why and fix it...flashing stuff is risky/serious stuff and shouldnt be done unless you understand what you are doing
I came from a cliq xt that used jr0ds recovery based on amon RA's recovery that I liked a heck of a lot better that clockwork. The interface was cleaner, it didn't have issues at all, everything in it always worked right all the time.

what issues are you having with clockwork recovery? ive never had a problem
Stick with cwm. I dont even trust rom manager anymore for the facinate at least (Always been great on the droid)
Just odin the latest cwm and play it safe.
CWM is definitely the standard. Anyone who mods their Android phone, no matter what model it is, should learn how to use it.
Doesn't seem like cwm is a finished product, having to sometimes wipe more than once to get it to actually erase something, having to use a certain "color" or one built by a certain dev to make sure it works....
Having to scroll down through a sea of things to actually get to the yes to accomplish a task.....options on the menu that offer to perform a feature, but don't actually work, requiring a manual execution of a script at console, etc....

what version of cwm are you using? Some (orange) do not play well with our phones due to different languages being used.

orange only works with edify update scripts....older versions are compatible with both...but since orange recovery is kinda broken (kernels dont flash right) releases have stuck with amend

well on this phone its the standard
I've had many Android phones, and CWM is the way to go.
It's sounding like an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" sort of sentiment from most here, and I'd agree. I've never had problems with this cwr (using "red", which I believe is 2.5.1 4). But if another application exists that gets things done the same way, but is more noob-friendly, then I'd suggest getting someone with appropriate expertise to try it and give the rest of the community the ok to use it. Given that cwr is a tried-and-true method, the likelihood of that occurring is slim.

recovery (be it amon_ra, cwr, or steam) is really essential to be flashing things...while i agree dismissing something out of hand isnt a great way to go about things...kernel flashers from within a booted system have been around for awhile and would only really be necessary if cwr wasnt possible (ie atrix 4g or something)
I just saw this! Follow @P3Droid on twitter for any updates! My guess by Friday Clockwork will be up!
Good afternoon everyone. According to a reliable source we have just been informed that the Motorola Droid 3 now has a fully functioning recovery. This is great news for those that want to have the flexibility that CWR brings to the Android line of devices. Currently we don't have the specifics regarding the method of installation but according to P3 more information will follow soon..
I know there are a lot of excited D3 owners and Devs out there hearing this. I also hope this means we'll see the X2 and the Bionic to Follow. Let the Backups and Flashing begin.

Not really caring about roms. My main concern, right now, is if someone backs a backup of the bone stock pre OTA phone, with clockwork recovery, will i be able to install it on to my phone?
I think the best part of this so far is that nandroid is working (ie: backups can be made & flashed w/o the hassles of using RSDLite and waiting for SBFs). Great news! One step closer to Cyanogen.

I believe its possible, but not practicle or easy. You have to change a bunch of stuff to the backup and then I'm pretty sure you have issues with the esn and stuff, but I could be wrong. I remember it being discussed once, but that was many months ago.

There are still ways to get CM7 running on the Blur kernel. And overclock it with modular overclocking.
I hope to see this phone at 1.5 ghz someday. But what I really want is a stock themed debloated rom. Recovery means we're about have roms, so I can't wait!

Basically what it means is that you can install any rom made for the droid 3. Different "cooks/chefs" (people who cook or make roms) will make roms ranging from stock 2.3.4 (sans blur) to modified "improved" 2.3.4 stock droid rom to new versions that have leaked like the upcoming Ice-cream os and maybe even Jelly Bean.
Truly unicorns here. I remember when I had the D1 the battery life was barely better than what we have now. Liquid cooked up a rom that gave me a 2 day battery life with heavy use.
Not to mention hotstpotting and other cool things. I doubt getting past or fooling the Efuse is too difficult after the unlocked bootloader.
Look at how far development has come on the Milestone despite its locked bootloader; granted, it's been almost 2 years since that phone came out but it certainly is possible to squeeze way more performance out of these bad boys than is possible with their stock representation!
Can't wait to see what happens in the next few months!

Hey guys I am just wondering what the best and most stable recovery for my phone would be. I know that CWM is very unstable because I did screw up my phone. So I want to know if WCX or TWRP is better and has less chance of screwing up my phone because I will be flashing a lot due to my dev work.

Agree that TWRP is the best. There is an issue with some that versions 2.4xx would crash and reboot randomly when performing restores and/or installs. Version 2.5 was supposed to correct this, but it didn't for me, so I reverted to 2.3.3.0 and so far so good. YMMV.

I disagree. I have used all recoveries and the best Imo is wcx recovery. It's most trusted and Alot of ppl will back me up. Hope I helped O btw I read something about doing updates. Lol wcx recovery doesn't need or have updates it's that damn good. Just try it if u don't think it's good then flash that other garbo

Not sure what youre trying to ask but maybe i can give an answer. Yes. All recoverys can flash anything,,, WCX's recovery looks like CWM and no where in the vivid forum will it tell you that someone recommends CWM Most people are either twrp or WCX (imo people think one is better but to be truthful they are just they same,.. they both work)
I recommend WCX recovery... I would trust that man with my life

Same forum you find the custom ROMS in.
And even with stock ROMs there's never a final version, hence you wanting to update the device. Read, learn, get your feet wet.
Otherwise, just reflash stock recovery and let it update when there's an update.
