While I'm not sure what causes this, I have experienced it. The first thing you're going to want to do is do a true flash of Clockwork Mod Recovery; all ROM Manager did was a fake flash. Meaning you can't get to CWM with your phone the way it is now. You're going to want NVFlash, it's a tool that will let you communicate with your phone's processor itself and, once CWM is truely flashed, will let you boot into it by holding power+volume down. If you try this right now, nothing will happen.
So flash CWM with NVFlash, then boot into recovery like I told you, then restore a Nandroid backup. If you don't have one, use this stock one: Link. Then just re-install CM7 and enjoy.

Are you sure it was actually a boot loop? The first boot after you install a new rom can take a couple of minutes or more.
Also before you installed the rom did you do a full wipe?
This is like the 50th time someone has posted about bootlooping after cm7 flash from cwm. Nvflash wipe n flash ppls!

Agreed. People... you should not be flashing roms if you cannot follow directions. Theres a huge warning saying to install clockwork recovery with NVflash before installing this ROM. To the OP... follow the directions to install the latest NVflash Clockwork and you should be able to restore through recovery. I bet you didnt even make a backup before flashing.

I think part of the problem is in the instructions Cyanogen posted for installing the release candidate. He recommends using rom manager, which works just fine. But what the instructions don't say is that if you get stuck in a boot loop you won't be able to get into recover unless you used nvflash. He comments later in his post that you need to have flashed it once as a fail safe but not everyone is going to read that far.
I think there should be a warning in his instructions that unless you nvflash recovery there is no guarantee you'll be able to get into recovery if you have any issues.

Brand new Thunderbolt, I did have it rooted but just factory reset it, I no longer have root. I hold down the power button and BOTH volume arrows and get into the screen for recovery, when I go to it it gives me a black screen with a pic of a phone in the middle with a red triangle and a red exclamation mark over top the phone.
I want to root and get a new kernel but think it would not be smart to proceed until I fix this problem. Jeesh, had it less than 12 hours and broke it already haha.
So, how do I get it to let me in there so I can make a nandroid backup?
I'm pretty certain you need to be rooted to access recovery.
Well, last night when I WAS rooted I tried it and it didn't work either. Well, I will try that tonight around 5PM EST and let you know if rooting allows me in. Honestly, I factory reset the phone after I rooted it because I thought the way I rooted it messed it up. Now I am thinking that is not true.
You have to be rooted to get into recovery. Also, and I am not 100% sure about this, if you did a factory re-set and didnt re-root and then reinstall CWR then there wont be a recovery for you to access.
You're looking at the stock recovery. You need to reroot and flash CWM to be able to install custom zips.

A factory reset shouldn't cause you to lose root. That just wipes data/cache. I would return to stock, root again and go from there. There's a thread in the development section on how to return to stock.
Did you flash CWM after rooting??? You can't do **** without that.
Ok, here is what I did, i took a factory thunderbolt and followed all the directions on this link.
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo.../1233-rs-guide-how-root-your-thunderbolt.html
Then, I downloaded rom manager and busybox and was about to try and install a kernal. I wanted to make a nandroid back up and thats when I noticed this problem. I also think I lost my 3g access then too. So, I went to factory reset and then tested the root checker app and it said I had NO ROOT.
I am rather noobish so please make the directions on how to fix this simple HAHA. I am also wondering if the link above has good root instructions and how would I install a kernel on the thunderbolt? Even a link to a thunderbolt kernel thread would be sweet!! THanks!!
I will wait for someone to let me know if that link is any good before I root with it again.

CMW is ClockworkMod Recovery. It's the recovery you flash in ROM Manager.
Follow this thread for rooting. There's a few other methods in the development section that have scripts so you don't have to manually push through ABD. Doing it yourself is more fail safe though and also a good learning experience.

Downloading Rom Manager is NOT installing custom recovery but a way to do so.
Once RM is installed open it up & choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. That will install the latest recovery from which you can run backups and such.

Ok I guess I am not fully understanding this. What does it really mean to "flash" your "recovery"?
Does this mean to make a copy of your current phone, like a nandroid backup? Or does it mean to access a copy you have already made and revert your system to that prior copy? Or am I wrong on both?

The answer to your first question of the first link being any good...that would be a big NO. Your phone never rooted from the start due to faulty directions posted. As far as flashing a recovery from clockworkmod that basically means when you need to get to the recovery screen this is the program that will bring you there with the understanding that you flash the recovery. NOW to do that there is an option at the top of the screen which says
" Flash ClockworkMod Recovery "
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5
Once you flash it will show this:
Flash CLockworkMod Recovery
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.3.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5
TO FLASH YOU SIMPLY SELECT THIS BOX AND IT WILL BRING UP A SCREEN TO CONFIRM PHONE MODEL AND THEN WILL ASK FOR SUPERUSER PERMISSION WHICH YOU MUST GRANT ACCESS TO AT ALL TIMES.

If it is a stock based rom, you need to re-flash clockwork (through ADB works best...), boot into Android and use "Root Explorer" to navigate here:
root->etc and find the file "install-recovery.sh"
rename it anything you want, i just add a "2" to the end. Exit and reboot into recovery and you should be set to go.
Stock Android will reflash stock recovery if you dont do this...good to know the Nexus is hard to brick in this way.

Just do what I said...Reflash clockwork and follow my instructions listed above and it will prevent Android from reverting to stock recovery. You arent bootlooping, the phone is just repairing itself back to stock recovery when you get the triangle.
All you need to do is rename that one file and your problem is solved.

Do you get to the fastboot? You may want to flash to stock and give it another go, or restore your previous backup...backup and backup some more. I have had this happen and a revert to stock, reroot works wonders to clean out the crap that builds up if you flash a ton of roms.
The worst that can happen is you get clean fresh Android and a clean slate to work off of.
I have a problem when ever i log into recovery it always says cannot mount? i have root access with the recovery properly installed (so i believe). The recovery allowed me to install superuser but it will not allow me to do a backup? iam running stock 2.3.4 rooted
any ideas?

Yup - Read that. There is one additional ROM that is not in that list, which i personally prefer.
In the Dev forum, Xboarders has posted a GB OTA ROM that has been rooted - other than that, it is purely stock. If you don't want to run a ROM that has had many changes made (and requires it be updated quite frequently), i would suggest flashing this once you have clockwork mod installed.

2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery by turning off your phone and turning it on with the volume down and power button held down until you see the clockworkmod recovery boot screen.
3. Install the zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
4. You are now rooted with the stock GB rom.
i try doin the steps and in the 1st step of rooting the phone the superoneclick just froze like it says superoneclick is not workin and i got scare so i x it out... what can i do?
Why did you try superoneclick if you already knew it doesn't work and we already told you it wouldnt work?

The dalvik cache is basically Androids way of optimizing apps so they load faster and your system runs smoother. If you don't clear it when switching to a different rom it can possibly cause issues like boot loops, etc. Not sure if its cleared by clockwork with a data wipe/factory reset so I always clear it through the advanced menu. It doesn't hurt to clear it more than once so I figure better to be sure its cleared.
After you clear it your first reboot can take several minutes depending on how many apps you have installed as it has to rebuild the dalvik cache for all your apps.

Installing clockworkmod recovery will allow you to flash alternative roms onto your phone. If the rom you flash is rooted then yes you will have root. Most of the custom roms are rooted.
And yes you can do a battery calibration. What problems are you having with your battery?

Did you boot into recovery from rom manager? Or by holding power + volume down to boot into the nvflashed version? Make sure you're making backups by booting into the nvflashed recovery.
I've noticed that stock GB and ROM Manager do not get along. I'm forced to boot into recovery to do anything.

Personally, I find Rom Manager to be completly useless and doesn't allow you to do anything right. Your best bet is to boot into recovery by holding power and vol down if you want something done right.

ROM Manager works fine on phones where the recovery partition is accessible when the phone is booted into the Android OS. On my Nexus One it works great and flashes recovery to the recovery partition where it is supposed to go.
On the G2X, LG made the recovery partition non-accessible when the phone is booted into the Android OS. So ROM Manager cannot flash recovery directly to the recovery partition. It flashes it to regular phone memory and then tricks the phone into running it when you say reboot to recovery in ROM Manager. Because of this people call this a "fake flash" and is not as reliable as recovery flashed to the recovery partition where it should be. Therefore, it is not advisable to use ROM Manager with the G2X and just use NVFlash to flash Clockworkmod Recovery to the recovery partition where it should be.
hi, i have a nexus s 4g and it has ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0. when ever i try to boot into recovery by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time, i get the stock android recovery, then i scroll down to recovery and then a picture of the android comes up, then after that a big yellow triangle with an exclamation point comes up and ClockWorkMod doesnt come up. but sometimes it works. i just want to be absolutely sure that i can boot to recovery so i can recover a nandroid backup when i am flashing roms just in case something goes wrong. please help

if you are running stock rom flash this after you flash recovery and your custom recovery will stick

I am having the same problem as the OP, but this post doesn't make any sense to me. It seemed to have worked for him though, so could I ask you to elaborate?
I never had clockworkmod work for me, and I get to the same screen when I use the vol up button and the power button. I am not sure what to do with that file you posted though.

I had this exact same problem on 2.3 .. I'd have to flash CWM everytime I wanted something flashed. If it doesn't do it the first time and it shows u the stock recovery, reboot and open CWM and flash again. Then flash the Fix and ull be fine . For me it fixed itself once I got to 4.0.x

Reason: on a stock ROM the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script will replace any custom recovery on each boot. Feel free to rename or delete this file, the next recovery you flash will stick until you flash another Stock ROM.

I know this is a little bit of a older post but it seems relevant. I have a epoc 4g touch running AOKP Milestone 5 and I am unable to make CWM Stick keeps reverting to the stock android recovery. Any Ideas?

Well i don't have an Epic 4G Touch so i can't say for sure, but it's probably exactly what i said before. Rename or delete the file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
No harm will be done, all the script does is replace the stock recovery on boot if it finds that a non-stock one is present. You can do this with ES File explorer, FX or whatever file manager you please (or terminal if you know how).
