So I tried installing the Beast Mode Kernel found in Original Android Development about an hour ago, and I'm at a screen where it syas installing Beastmode Viverrine and shows a progress bar on the bottom... It's been stuck at 30% and says "applying cmdline settings". It's been like this for almost 45 minutes now, is this normal? Please help

Did you check md5 before flashing? If you did, hold the power and volume down. Reboot in recovery, flash cache and dalvik cache. Try again.

I checked the md5 sum before flashing and it was correct. I didn't want to boot to bootloader just in case it would stop the install process and further mess something up... I did so anyway, and then I booted normally... when checking my settings it says under the kernel that it's running the Beast Mode Kernel.
I guess that the install screen froze but that it finished in the background? How can I check to see that if maybe it installed correctly?
Should I try again anyway?

The screen was probably frozen. If you have the kernel, and you don't see any anomalies, don't reflash.

I've followed up to step 3 of part III on http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/08/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-nexus-one/
When I select recovery, it shows me the n1 logo with the unlock symbol below it, then it goes to a green android with a warning triangle.
The video shows a recovery screen, and volume up + power doesn't give me the menu with the correct options.
I've tried it plugged in and not.
You didn't flash the recovery correctly, that is the stock recovery screen.
Thanks, that helped.
Well anyway, I downloaded cyanogen from here: http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android-downloads/android-roms/nexus-one-roms/
and when it booted up it kept giving me "x application failed, force close" for pretty much everything, and no matter how many times I hit force close, the messages kept coming.
So I'm trying to recover to stock for now, as I need my phone for tomorrow, and I forgot what my serial/key/build was. Is there anyway of finding that out so I know which ROM to flash?

Did you remove the two scripts like you were told? /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Wipe /data and /cache in recovery before reinstalling the custom rom should address the force close issues.
my phone continuously goes into the cm7 logo, after i let it sit for awhile it finnaly loads to home screen but is in safe mode, then after a few seconds it goes into cm7 logo again and keeps loading the cm7 logo like 10 times, what should i do?
try wiping everything again including boot,data,system,cache,sdexit, and dalivik. then reinstall cm7+gapps s if that dosnt work try flashing one of decas capped kernals.
how do i get into recovery?, my phone keeps doing the cm7 logo thing x.x

Pull the battery. When it's off hold down the home button then press power.
How the hell did you root your phone and flash a rom without knowing how to get to recovery.

Ok, I'm having a similar issue - I had clockwork as my recovery... no matter what I flashed, the phone would boot, then restart. After installing gapps, it would get a little further - to the "welcome to hero" screen - but the phone restarts shortly thereafter.
I've restored Sprint's rom (2.1) and it's STILL rebooting. Notably - it does NOT reboot while in recovery (which makes me think it's not a hardware issue?)
any ideas? (sorry for threadjacking)
*also, I wipe everything (boot/system/data/dalvik) every time I flash... not sure if it matters
Id say try reflashing your current recovery and see if that helps. Also I'd recommend trying to redownload the rom your trying to flash you might just have gotten a bad download. Hope this helps.

What recovery are you using?
stock recovery cant get any other ones to work
Try this. Follow the directions in the OP. It'll take about 5 mins to get back to a box stock D3.

Then ROM Manager is clearly the issue. That link gets you to box stock software. I'm not a fan of RM because I feel that unless 110% understood, it can cause way more headaches than it fixes. What do you use it for? What changes did you make after flashing to stock?
used rom manager to change battery icon 3g icon signal icon and the notification bar backround
I don't think that MavROM is compatible with Rom Manager tweaks. I believe that they only work with CM based ROMs. Try reflashing to stock, rerooting, and reROMing it. Don't make the changes and see if the issues persist.
i tried reflashing to stock like 10 times and it never fully goes back to stock
How about going to cwm through odin and deleting your catch data and your delv catch. I had the same issue when reverting back to stock ( it wasnt fully there) but when i erased all the data and delv catch it reverted to the stock rom properly. Just a thought

Well, the previous is strange, because I've used that to recover from all different causes of bricks and bootloops and reboots and etc. All took me back to box stock software...
Anyways, I would flash back to stock-ish with it, re-root, install CWM, boot into recovery, and then wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik cache.
Using X + Power then VOL Up + Down, you can get into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. This puzzles me though, because that quick SBF wipes data, system, and cache.
Just for my curiosity, what ISN'T stock after the quick unbrick method?

Oops, bumped Thanks trying to quote this. When the DOS-looking window prompts you to press any key to exit, and I'm assuming you do, do you let the phone go through it's process where the yellow bar inches across the screen and completes the reset?

Are you sure you have the latest drivers installed? Head over to that thread one more time, re-download the quick unbrick, boot up with M + Power, select AP Fastboot, open the shortcut for "CLICK HERE - Something something something", allow it to go through it's 20 or so lines of actions, and when it says to press any key to exit, do so. Now just let the phone sit there while still plugged in (IIRC, this is what I did last time). If this all fails to return you to stock settings... 1. I'll be surprised 2. I'll nand backup mine and make a video for you of quick unbricking mine and everything it does.
If it does work, please don't change things in ROM Manager, IIRC, those tweaks are only for CM based ROMs, and not Mav.
so i installed safestrap to my droid 4 running stock rom ics. i go into recovery to install cyanogen mod 10 so i wipe everything like always and then i selected install, next i know i look at my phone and the screen is black i figure the install is done so i go to power it on and it brings me to the safestrap 10 second option so i click menu....nothing happens it shows backlight black screen then i restarted the phone and tried to boot regular, same thing is there anyway to fix this?! and since safestrap is installed everytime i try to charge my phone it turns on and tries to boot into the backlight black screen.
Sounds like you wiped ur system clean and nothing was installed over it. If you can get into safestrap then just usersd lite to put a clean version of ics on ur device. Then root and enjoy

Agreed. Probably going to have to fastboot ICS. In addition, if/when you try to install a custom ROM again, make sure you back up your unsafe system first. Then make sure you switch to your safe system to install the ROM.

when i go into safestrap it just shows a black screen, i click menu at the 10 second screen and thats what it does.

As others are saying, it sounds like your system is hosed.
My advice would be to download RSDLite and the appropriate fastboot files and restore the phone's software that way.

So I've been using GOO manager and was loving it except it kept telling me to update Viper rom to 1.1 which I agreed to. After about 4 tries it kept telling me the md5 didn't match so I downloaded the file to my laptop and copied it over. I installed it from GOO using the "Zip file from somewhere else option" and the flash seemed to work until the first boot.
Now it's fully booting, i can unlock the screen in time for it to tell me htc.bgp has stopped responding and then it just powers down and reboots. I unchecked fast boot, but it really looks like it's doing the power fast boot as i don't see the usual startup logos.
Any ideas on next steps?

You can't do a dirty flash between these version. I did the same thing, my phone got stuck couldn't shut it off for 2+ hours had to wait for the bat to die. I don't think it should update you that there is an update when in fact it's not an update at all. It's still my fault for doing a dirty flash but it needs to be a clean install. Full wipe, reinstall & you will be good.
