I have cm7 on my phone, recently I've been trying to flash a nightly on my cappy and after the install "about phone" still shows the old mod. ROM manager also shows the old mod as my "current ROM"
I've tried reflashing, and even downloading onto my computer copying it to my card and trying to install through recovery and get stuck in bootloop. Ive deleted old mods from the download folder and Ive also tried different nightlies and have the same problem. Any help is appreciated

..and you've done the basic clearing your caches, data and dalvik? You may want to try a fac reset. That fixes a lot of problems sometimes
.. for the future you should post in the cm7 q&a's. Even if it is a nightly
Yeah, Ive done the wipes and caches. I guess I'll try fac reset. Thank you for the help

Ok, I did a fac reset, wipe cache, dalvik. Downloaded latest build through Rom manager, did cache, dalvik again, and still have the same results. Any ideas?

I know, my friends think I'm crazy. So I'm thinking I could flash back to stock and then start over? So, to do this I need to flash the stock Rom using Odin with repartitioning, correct? I'm assuming I can't use Odin jf6 one click because it doesn't repartition, or does it?

Yeah.. Odin one click JF6 does the repartition. I've flash back to stock a few times using that method and the last time being just a couple weeks ago. That is about your best bet. Odin back to stock.. get cwm and flash nightly. Its gotta stick then... you'd think

Do you have to clear data and cache before installing? I remember bootlooping old phones because of that.

no need to wipe says instructions. i didnt and ive flashed both w/ no problems. also, u need to be on 890 for it to work
Calendar seems to be missing...can anyone confirm this, and how do we get this back?
Waited over an hour. I was on 890.. not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I had a faulty 890? Say it didn't flash 890 and I was on stock, where would that put me? Phone is still bootlooping.. when it first turns on, shows motorola symbol with dual core, is on for a few seconds then flashes back to black, you know like before the boot ani. The pulls up same screen.. any way to get back to stock?
Btw- thank you for responding so quickly.

Are you using hashcodes recovery or koush's?
If you're using hashcodes just restore a nandroid by booting into bp tools.
If you're using koush's then you're probably gonna have to rsd flash the xml. You could probably moto-fastboot just the system partition and be fine

Yeah sounds like your /system is pretty botched up. If you just usd rsd lite and flash the xml/sbf and then re-root then install either recovery(I recommend koush's going forward cause of roms) koush's will restore nandroid backups made on hashcodes recovery.
*if your nandroid is on your internal memory you're gonna have to copy it over to your actually sdcard.
Hopefully you made a nandroid haha

Power down. Press the 'm' button on the keyboard. While keeping it pressed it, power the phone up. You'll get a menu wiith bptools and ap fastboot, etc. Volume down navigates, volume up selescts. Go to ap fastboot. Then plug your d3 into your computer and let the drivers instal automatically, then click show devices in rsd and it should be there

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.

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.
With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?
I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!
Hi, I recently tried to root my Galaxy Exhibit, but now it's broken, nothing will load, it all force closes. My home, menu and search buttons do not work, I tried to restore it by using factory reset, but that just messed it up more. I plunged it into Samsung Kies, but it won't recognize the device. How can I restore the phone back, unroot, to factory settings.
This is what I did, first I downloaded TWO custom kernel (or roms, idk the difference.) The first one worked like a charm it was the root stock 1.8 but it was too stock, I wanted ICS so, I restored and I put a different rom/kernel in and booted it up, and boom everything is messed up, my kernel version has not changed, I tried using cwm recovery, but it didn't do anything.
Thanks
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Well easy fix, in cwm wipe system or ROM 3 times wipe cache/dalvic cache. Then you can flash ICS and gapps, be advised there is no further development for ICS so I would suggest any 4.1 ROMs or even the 4.2 ROMs. Make sure you flash gapps
