CM7 and Root gone wrong!!!

So, I tried to root this phone and I used SuperOneClick and successfuly rooted it.
Afterwards, I downloaded ROM Manager and installed the nightly 53 from Cyanogenmod 7.
I checked Wipe Data & Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache;
Afterwards, it went to the clockwork recovery; (the orange screen) installed it successfully from the SD card;
Afterwards, Cyanogenmod didn't boot correctly and got looped so i had to pull the battery; then restarted;
it loaded correctly but welcomed me with a series of force closes;
THE PROBLEM:
1. wi-fi doesnt work; when it restarts, it resets all the accounts and settings i've worked on;
2. the orange clockwork recovery mode won't start; instead, it goes to android system recovery <3e>; at that; there are four options that i can go up and down to wipe data/factory reset and all those options
but cannot click on the option; the power button doesn't do anything; the home button makes it disappear;
3. when i go to the terminal; su doesn't work; it goes permission denied;
rom manager won't restart into flash recovery to install new nightly;
so what have i done? what do i do?
I would just like to go back to stock;

Why don't you try posting this in the nightly thread or read a little. Your posting in the wrong place.

I'm guessing you won't be able to, but try turning on the phone by holding the power button and volume down. There's a chance this will take you to recovery, at which point you can wipe and re-flash.
Technically, rom manager only does a "fake" flash of cwm, so that's why it probably will not.
Otherwise, you can probably use adb somehow, but that's outside of my knowledge.

Had the same issues, but you shouldn't use nigh builds as your main rom. if you do use build 105

cm 7 gone wrong
Did you do nandroid backup? If so boot into cwm recovery and restore it ,if you didn't go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 follow the directions if you still have issues you can pm me.
If you can access ROM manager try flashing recovery
If I helped in anyway feel free to thank me

Did you install cwm using nvFlash or rom manager? If you didn't install cwm using nvFlash you will need to do that first. Using rom manager is only a "fake flash" for our phone and the recovery is only temporarily installed.

Read the nightly thread from around when 53 came out. Several people had this issue, myself included.
Solution is to just flash a different nightly on top of 53.

But first u MUST install cwm with nvFlash

Got to use NV flash that will fix your problem

yuppp that nvflash is the first step, never use rom manager to flash cwm, im my opinion rom manager is garbageeee, i never use it

Thread moved to proper forum.

Its not confusing I flash different roms about 50 times a day and I never bootloop, try flashing the ext4.converter before the rom or enable voodoo, also make sure you havent flashed whitehawkx kd1
sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally

did you fix the bootloop? i hope you tried again with icbinb because it is really smooth.

Flash the ext4 converter, then icbinb, then try. If that doesnt work, do same steps then flash bali 3.3 uv kernel afterwards
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

mine's doing the same thing.. here's what I did
ODIN'd back to KC1 with root to start fresh (had whitehawx KD1), and pushed the CWM recovery file to system/bin.
quick booted to recovery, wiped system and data, checked mounts (UMMU), and flashed the final.5 from the zip. Everything seemed to go okay and it said flash was successful.
Rebooted phone, and it got stuck on the green android boot animation. during this time, the phone would buzz, then a few seconds later, do 3 quick buzzes, like something force-closed.
So I rebooted back to recovery (now RED CWM), enabled voodoo lag fix, checked mounts (UMMU), and rebooted. This time, the Linda voice came on and said some stuff and a bit later I believe she said "lagfix enabled", then it proceeded to the green android boot animation, where it's doing the same loop+buzzing thing for the last 10 mins.
where did I go wrong?

Alright thanks guys!! Imma try it out!!

i literally just reflashed to icbinb. i odined to kc1. let that load. got cwm final and then i flashed bali 3.3 and rebooted the phone normally. once that loaded up, i went back into recovery, factory reset, wiped cache, checked mounts and flashed the ext4 converter. then i flashed icbinb.5. then i rebooted into recovery to make sure lagfix was enabled (it was for me because of the ext4...this is just to make sure it flashed properly) and then went back into the menu and i rebooted normally.

It worked!!!!!!! Thanks jager!!!! :d dsexton the ext4 converter worked <3333333 so sexy!

trying your steps right now and after flashing kc1 i go to recovery with cwm and hit reinstall pckgs,it doesnt load cwm.what do i do??

you dont have krylons final cwm. look for it under the mod section of the bible. once you put the recovery file in the bin folder and the update.zip in the root of the sd, try going to reinstall packages again.

BROKEN!!
i finally got this rom installed and now im getting constant messaging.mms fc's and google framework services,and NON STOP!!

Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions. See if that helps

wonderful instructions!! thanks alot! this really helped stop the vibration crashes i keep having.. just as soon as i think things are about to stabilize

I followed jagers instructions exactly and I'm stuck on the Galaxy S 4G screen (white text) with the Samsung logo at the bottom. I heard Linda after I did my reboot and now I'm stuck on this. I started with KC1 and followed all of the steps. Not sure what else to do here.
Ok, I wiped cache/davlik cache/fixed permissions and I have the green android dude. I might be up again...
Edit: Nope, starting over again with those exact instructions...
Finally booted...man, these Samsung phones are ridiculous compared to HTC!

Is everything running ok now?

Yep, thanks again! I really like the rom a lot...definitely worth the work now that it's running and I restored all of my apps through Titanium.
One question about TW4.5, how can I swap out the 4 default icons on the bottom of the home screen? Or do I need to grab another launcher?

push the CWM recovery file to system/bin?
okay i odin to kc1 but how do push the CWM recovery file to system/bin.

Download root explorer and move the file

this question should definitely go in the General section or in the Clockwork Recovery thread, just so you know
if you are in stock recovery, you can get into Clockwork by choosing 'reinstall packages', provided that you have followed the instructions in the CWM thread and: 1) replaced the recovery in system/bin with the modified recovery binary from the thread, and 2) placed the update.zip from the thread on the root of your sdcard.

or u can follow sduvick mod on krylon thread

nice! I didn't know he made a script for flashing CWM.

Can someone tell me why every time I try to flash a new rom on my daughters sk4g in recovery it goes straight to the screen with reinstall packages so I pick it and it errors out and can't go further???

What rom are you flashing, and how are you flashing it?

You probably need to visit the Recovery CWM thread and either manually replace the recovery in system/bin with the modified one and put the update.zip(clockworkmod) on the root of you sdcard... Or use sduvick's script in the thread to do those 2 things for you. Then when you reinstall packages it will take you to Clockwork Recovery.

I cant get passed the WipeData/factoryreset.
replaced recovery in System/Bin
Update.zip in root of SD.
this is what i get
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
then thats where it freezes then i gotta restore using ODIN.
any help would be greatly appreciated

hmm, that's weird. and you are getting into orange CWM by doing 'reinstall packages' in the blue stock recovery? if so, I'm not sure why that would be happening...

Yeah I guess I'm S.O.L
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App

Try to odin back to kd1 or kg2, Then use the recovery from krylons thread. This part is important, do not use rom manager to update your recovery, the version on rm is either corrupt or unstable. This happened to me a couple of time when I first tried it too. The problem was rom managers recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium

Should I completely delete CWM on my SD card then, and then repeat the process on krylons thread?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App

Yes, do exactly that, delete all cwm files you have on your computer and sdcard, and start all over, using krylons thread.

Ok Just need to confirm this
When I rebooot to recovery. I get the original. screen with two errors. However when I click reinstall packages. It shoots me to CWM. IT does that every time.
Am I safe to Flash? Or did I mess up some where

I am having the same problem with clockworks recovery mod but if I go to recovery from rom maniger app I got from the market it gose right into the clockworks recvery if I use any other app for rcovery it go into stock recovery and thin I have to reinstall pacage and thin it works but that's what I know about it and I fallowed the thread to the letter

if you installed rom manager, then you didnt follow the thread. go to settings/applications/manage applications and under 3rd party, select rom manager. when that comes up, select clear data and uninstall. do NOT reinstall rom manager. next, go to the root of your sd card and look for a folder named clockworkmod. if you find it, delete it. next, go back to the cwm thread and in the first post, look for a link to a file called update.zip. download it and place it on the root of your sd card. to get into cwm, boot into stock recovery and select reinstall packages. you should then boot into cwm. there is no other way to boot into clockworkmod recovery unless you flash a rom that comes with it. the version of clockworkmod that flashes through rom manager does not work right. also, once you have booted into cwm recovery after installing it the proper way, scroll down through your recovery menu and select advanced. then select fix permissions. it will say "fixing permissions...." and will sit for a minute or two. let it sit till it says "done!" then hit the back button and select reboot system now. running fix permissions should stop your random reboots. it did for me. it wont solve the screen lag, but you shouldnt have any more random reboots.

ok i did that. now the cwm do you have to reinstall it evry time you go to recovery or will it stay and the rom manager i got it after i flashed cwm becous it sead it had cwm built in

you have to reinstall packages every time. rom manager isnt gonna do crap for you on this phone. you can flash roms through clockworkmod just fine as long as you do it right, but if you try to start flashing a rom through rom manager, its gonna brick your phone. you can recover from a brick in several ways, but its a pain in the chops.

Error Formatting System

Ok I am new to this phone and have done a lot of reading and have already flashed 3 roms on my phone and I set up the Flash Clockworkmod Recovery the real one and not the rom manager version. For some reason I now get a Error when trying to format system to flash another Rom and when I go to wipe dalvik cache it does not even let me go into to wipe that is there something I'm missing I have not see this problem with no one else.

Are you shouting down your phone and turning it back on holding power+volume down. Don't use rom manager to reboot to recovery it may be taking you to the fake cwm on your memory card.

Perhaps try re flashing cwm with nvflash
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It's weird the only way I'm able to flash a rom is when I go into rom manager and I go to backup rom through there.

It sounds like the real recovery didn't flash. Make sure you install the apx drivers correctly and check in device manager that your pc sees the phone.

Follow this topic you might have installed an older version I believe the first few we had did that. Make sure you shut down and use (power+volume down) to get to cement it is much safer.
Also are you try the factor reset in cwm or trying to do the advanced- format system. The advanced- format system requires you to first mount the system to do so.

[Q] Flashed CM7 froze during reboot logo

Noob with a drive to learn and in need of some help.
I attempted to install stable release of CM7 thru CWM on my rooted G2x, still stock everything, OS 2.3.4. Pre-install I backed-up current ROM, wipe data & cache and wipe dalvik cache. Rebooted into recovery and it looked as tho all was well... However, my phone wont go any further than the second "LG" boot logo, (I'm thinking is packaged in CM7). Nothing I've tried yet has fixed my situation. Not even allowing me to enter manual recovery so I can restore my back-up.
I'm hoping someone could please tell me what I did wrong? And also, what I can do to fix it?

Did you flash CWM using ROM Manager or NVflash?
If the answer isn't NVflash, you need to search the forum for that and use it. Then try to install a ROM
