I have recently received a Droid 1 via the dailysteals offer a few weeks ago. I wanted to grab it just to toy around with all of these custom rom's i'm reading about as my regular phone has a locked bootloader.
I've been watching how-to's on youtube, and reading step by step guides on ROM installation. I keep running into a wall after my flash.
Starting on 2.2.3 Froyo, I am able to get ClockWork Recovery on the phone. I go into clockwork recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, I even go into advanced and wipe the boot and the system. I install my Zip (I've tried Steeldroid 10.2 and CM6.1.2) - each time the installer goes through the process and tells me my installation is complete. I go to reboot my phone, and then it just hang's at the M logo. I'm not able to go any further until I SBF to a stock image. I let it sit for 25 minutes last night just to see if it would get past it, and it doesn't.
Can anyone suggest what I may be doing incorrectly? I'm not sure why this is happening as the video's I've watched seem pretty effortless.
I appreciate any help.

Hello all,
I have been away for half a year and have just started using my G1 again. It had a real old version of CyanogenMod on it so I updated it a few weeks ago using the CM-Updater.
But over the last few weeks I have noticed that some things on the phone are not working as I want them too.
So I want to wipe everything and start again with a clean install of the latest CyanogenMod ROM.
So I downloaded the latest version, put it on my SD and booted up the recovery mode.
Then I did these items in this order:
Made a backup.
Repaired the file system.
Pressed Alt-W to wipe.
Applied the update.
However, upon bootup the phone is pretty much in the same state as before.
My question is how do I completely wipe the phone and start again? What would the steps be?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Sorry if a thread already exists for this. I honestly did have a good search for one.
Search for latest amon ra recovery for dream and flash the recovery image. the new recovery image gives u the ability to wipe every thing.
Thanks. Giving that a go as I speak!
So I decided to root my phone, following everything here (I am completely noob at this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
I did screw up on step 10 where instead of doing a "Flash zip from sdcard" I did a reboot and it booted into the original system. So I went through the process again from step one and did everything right this time.
I don't know if that broke the root or not, but I cannot flash anything on the phone, mainly new ROM.
When I try to wipe it will give me this error:
"error wipe dalvik via adb"
"error wipe ext via adb"
If I go and flash the ROM anyway, it will get stuck at the splash screen forever...
Fresh Rom 2.3.3 will give me the endless droid dance
Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Test 4 For Hero CDMA will be stuck at the "X" animation
I can pull out the battery stuff and it still doesn't work. I am able to just restore my nandroid backup and the phone will work then.
Does anyone knows what did wrong? Or how I can get this to work?
PS: I have the "Superuser Permission" ninja is my apptray so I assume I rooted it correctly...
Make sure your battery its charged when flashing. Re-download whatever files you want to flash, sometimes they get corrupted during download. Which recovery are you using?

also if when your in the recovery image for the first time or you have been in there for awhile i get those errors but usually a shut down and the boot back into recovery works for me
I managed to get this working with Rom Manager after restoring the nandroid to the Sprint ROM. Running on Fresh 2.3.3 now, thanks for the reply!
First of all I hope this is in the right place: I did do a search but still couldn't find any help.
Here's my problem:
After getting a (delicious) taste for customisation after rooting and lagfixing, I decided to give custom ROMs a go. Hours of indecision passed and ultimately I settled on Doc and Stefunel's magical ROM. Due to currently being on 2.1, I chose to follow the set of instructions provided on the page for doing so.
All was well up until the very final step. When rebooting the phone through ClockworkMod Recovery, instead passing the Samsung boot screen into the Android system, the phone boots into CWM recovery. I've tried doing another factory reset, and reinstalling the ROM to no avail. I've also tried mounting "/mnt/sdcard" in order to place another ROM to flash from, but I keep getting a message telling me to insert a disk (what happens when you don't mount).
That's pretty much all there is to it. I'd be massively grateful for any help!

If you have made a backup of your apps then flash the JPY with Odin and then make factory reset in recovery mode. Then root with CF Root 1.3 (Or something like that) and flash CWM Recovery. That's what I would do.

from the recovery menu try wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot
Hi all,
I have run into one issue on my nook. I have had it for a while and followed all the directions for root and it was running perfect. One day it rebooted and would nver start back up. It gets stuck in the Nook Color Devs Boot Loop where it says Nook, then color in a rainbow scheme. I attempted to reload the factory image, ran the first manual nooter and logged into gmail, etc. Then I ran the second nooter and now I am stuck in a boot loop again. Is there anyway to solve this?
A factory reset appears to help but as soon as I root, the same thing happens. I have attempted to search but couldn't find anything else.
I also found out that if I clear dalvik and cache then it won't go immediately to the boot loop. It attempts to load but i am not sure what to do.
Thanks all.
You may want to specify which version of Stock you're reloading. I don't know for sure, but there may be some different procedures if you're on 1.3... But I don't know, just a tip for people to give you more specific help.
Thank you. This has happened to me on both the1.2 and 1.3 stock rom. It actually just shut off one day and then started doing this.
I'm not very familiar with the stock rom. I got rid of it within like 10 minutes of getting my nook, turning it into a tablet was my whole reason for buying one.
I didn't think there was more than one root script that you had to run though. At least not for 1.2, I dunno about 1.3 though.
Perhaps something there's messing it up?
Personally, I would suggest following one of the threads about restoring to stock... step by step and see if that helps.

Basically... just make a bootable cwm card. Make a backup of what you have atm. Copy the zip you download from that thread to your card. Boot your cwm card and goto mounts and storage, and format: /system, /data, /cache, and I would do /boot just in case. Normally, you shouldn't format boot... but just in case something there is causing you a problem it might be best. I know the stock rom restores the boot files anyway. Then just go to (sorry if the wording here isn't right, I don't have my nook in front of me) install zip from card, then select zip, and choose the 1.2 zip you put on the card. It should take like 5-10 mins to flash... remove the bootable sdcard, and choose reboot now. This should get you back to 100% stock 1.2, then you can retry rooting it... I think 1.2 needs the manual nooter script. You shouldn't have to run anything more than once to root it though, unless you upgrade after that to 1.3.
I had the same problem after getting the 1.3 update and re-rooting. The problem was adobe flash 10.3. I ran flashplayer_fix.zip from GMPOWER's post on this page (sorry don't know how to link the post) and it fixed the problem.

So this morning I decided to get myself a new ROM on my optimus 2x. After 2years with CyanogenMod7, I was starting to get more and more problems, so I went for it... my 2nd lifetime rom installation.
I thought I understood it all good.. decided to go with ParanoidAndroid CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807). I followed pengus's instructions thoughtfully.
1. Copied the ROM .zip, the gapps .zip, and the kernel .zip.,
2. Factory reset, clear cache, dalvik, etc..
3. Booted the phone in recovery, and installed the 3 .zip package in the order I just mentioned (at step1)
After rebooting my phone would keep booting with a new and fresh version of Cyanogenmod 7.. for some reason. I remade the operation a couple times and it would always get my in cyanogenmod (wtf?). Now, after a couple hours of messing around, I installed back nvflash and tried other loaders : cwm 5.0, cwm 6.0, twrp 2.5.0..
Eventually after the usual clear cache / factory reset, unpacking zip files, my phone stoped rebooting in cyanogenmod7, but then it would just get stuck with the "LG" logo forever....
Now, I've taken my ENTIRE day off trying to figure this one now. I've been at it since 8hours more or less, and now I'm expecting calls and I'm out of phone. The whole experience has been very frustrating.... and I'm out of solutions here..
Hopefully this is just a newbie mistake (cuz I'm still kinda newbie in the whole rooting experience). Plz help...
something I don't understand :
when using twrp 2.5.0 as recovery, after I did a full wipe, and fresh installation, just after I click reboot now. it says that it appears my phone is not rooted, and that I can click yes to install SuperSU.. sometimes I click YES, sometimes I don't ... both action don't change the fact that my phone gets stuck at the LG logo.
So turns out I had a gingerbread partition and was trying to install an IceCreamSandwitch version of android.
With All-In-One-Toolkit, I was able to fix the partition and all.... wow all my day because of this ;(
