From the sounds of it you need to odin because you have soft bricked, but ask your respective developers in the droid 2 forum to be sure.

Battery issue (minor)
I just installed CM7 on my X2 and so far I LOVE it. However, I have noticed a significant battery drain compared to the crappy Moto Blur. Any ideas, suggestions or is there a fix on the way? Thanks!

I've searched the forums relentlessly with no luck. I rooted, installed some roms, tried to install Cyanogens latest rom, became stuck on the bootup screen for 30 minutes. Tried to wipe and reinstall and I get the same thing. Well now the boot screen comes up and the phone powers down automatically after about 5 seconds. I cant get to bootloader either. I'm worried it's really done now. Sorry in advance for being a dumb noob but if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it. Btw, I have a mytouch 3g.
Ok. I got to the bootloader and reinstalled the last working (hero) rom I had. It appears to be loading now. I still would like to change this rom as I really need bluetooth support but after that scare, I'm not sure what I did wrong. I was under the impression Cyanogen's ROMs were fairly simple to load. Sorry if this is not thread worthy but I've had this phone less than a week and if I brick it, my wife will kill me!
I am currently running CM7. But I would rather have my Old stock 2.1. I am running On a Huawei Ascend on Cricket Wireless. I have CWM and ever since I ran CM7 and changed things around it still drains my Battery Faster than usual and heats up my phone. I lowered the CPU and such.
Anyways to the problem:
I have been trying to get the old stock version back on to my phone but for some reason I can not get things to work right. I Try a fast boot and it just reboots the phone back into CM7 and does nothing. I have tried to do it through CMW and same thing happens. I want to try to us the SD Card update option through the Systems settings but I can not find it. I just want to get CM7 off of my phone and mess around with a few other things before I commit to a new mod.
If anyone has any ideas on what I can do just let me know. Is there anything I can do that I have not tried already?
Edit: Yes I know I am new and yes this is my first post. I just need help please, and thank you.
so i rooted my g2x with the one click methode and got su. then i did the one click clockwork mod recovery flash. when i press vol down and powere it takes me to clockworkmod recovery, but all of menu is red. is this normal? alsoafter downloading rom manager i flashed the recovery and made some back ups, but when i reenter rom mananager my backups are gone, when i load into recovery backups are there! seems like rom manger doesnt stay synced with phone. i am using eagleblood rom and when i try to power off phone it doesnt respond , so i have to take out battery! please help, any info is welcome! thanks.
not sure which way it goes.. but depending on which CWR you installed, it may be working off of your external card.. and rom manager is looking for backups on the internal.
just gotta connect usb and move the files or use some kinda file manager app.

ok im thinking you did the nvflash method which is good if you did since the menu is red(yes this is normal). your probably not going to see your backups unless you do it the volume down & power way. not sure why its not powering off. you may wanna trying down loading the eagleblood rom again booting into clockwork with the volume down method installing the rom that way and see if that works.
sounds like a hassle i probably wont even use rom manager any more. thanks for info
thanks for info ill just skip rom manager all together, which rom is the most stable in your opinion

I Would go with Dark or Light sinister rom 2.2.1, or the Ultimate rom 2.2.1. until the release gb sourse or until krylon drops bionix rc2 which is hopefully soon.

At this point, as far as the most stable.. I agree.. anything w/ 2.2.1.. Most have been just sticking w/ stock because of many diff probs with 2.2.3/4. I think that's why the GB was 'leaked' a while ago. To help get some of these bugs brought to the surface.. and probably why we have seen the delay in launch. At least, I hope that's the case. I would not be shocked if they purposely leak these so they can watch the boards to see what probs are out there... Then spend a few weeks fixing it.
I'd have to agree that as far as using 'something' different, Bionix is good.. but it has its probs too. It has the typical reboots/locks up as most others have (excluding 2.2.1). Don't expect Bionix updates to be released like the others. They try to create a quality rom without doing "nightlies". Also, the dev is working on a 100 other projects. Not sure where the bionix priority is, but I'm sure it is not at the top of the list on a regular basis.
Seriously, from looking at how functional all of these releases are.. I think stock is your best option. After using Bionix for a few weeks now, I like it.. but the reboots/lockups are a pain.
Appologies for not replying to the original MIUI thread. I am not a new user and i am very experienced in flashing roms etc, especially on samsung devices. I have been around for a while now but this is my first post so i cannot post in the dev section yet.
Last night i flashed MIUI to my infuse. I followed the instructions in the op here exactly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278053
I had no problems flashing and everything was successfull, however there were 2 major issues. First being the soft keys. The four buttons menu, home, back, and search buttons did not function at all. They werent even backlit. The volume rocker and power buttons functioned fine. I reflashed from blue cwm twice and still nothing.
This is where i ran into my second issue. There were no posts about anyone having the soft key issue however i did notice alot of people losing their recover and being stuck on the samsung boot screen. This eventually happened to me.
I went to samfirmware and downloaded 2.1 and odin'd it, then odin'd the community kernel to get ext4 and red cwm then restored my nandroid so i am back to normal. I wanted to post about my soft key issue but as i said i had to post in q&a due to my lack of posts.
Any suggestions? if not, i at least wanted to inform the dev of the issue.
Thanks
have you tired CM7, just asking cuz they have almost the same bugs....so i would curious to see if your softkey issue transfers to that rom as well. and if not........
i would try loading up CM7, wiping from the orange CWM and flashing MiUi from there. it Should have worked the way you did itk if you were coming from stock. but who knows maybe seeing if it happens on Cm7 will lead to your answer.
just an idea though
no i havent been able to try cm7 yet as i dont have a build environment set up anymore and havent seen a release yet, would love to give it a shot if someone wants to send me a zip.
i really hope it doesnt have the same issue or ill have to donate this thing to my fiance and get a gs2 or something lol.
Check your mail, you seem to know what your doing so test it out see what happens.
Happy Flashing
Happy flashing indeed, thanks for this im going to give it a go right now, bbl with results.
Hell the only reason i was flashing miui to begin with is b/c i am currently unable to build cm7 so hope this works..
Thanks a ton!!
Ok so heres how it went down.
After my fail last night with the softkeys i did a little research and flashed serendipity s7. So with the cm7 zip you sent me i started out flashing over this since they are both ext4 i didnt think there would be a prob.
Followed your instructions, wipe, flash, pull battery, wipe, flash. After the first flash i was in orange cwm. I didnt give it a chance to boot until after the second flash obviously, but it would boot directly into orange cwm everytime.
From there i decided to odin to stock and flash the community kernel again.
Now that i was back in red cwm and formatted to ext4 i repeated your original instructions and everything flashed just fine.
As far as the soft keys, i have no issues at all. Everything is working just fine.
I was flashing from 2.1 uke3 last night, and thats also what i flashed with tonight and was successfull with.
Anyways thanks for the help glad to say im not having the issue with cm7. much appreciated
--forgot to add i am going to try to reflash miui coming from cm7 and see how that goes if i still get the same issue
--Okay, booted to orange cwm, wiped and flashed the same miui zip as before. Only one wipe and one flash no battery pull or anything. Everything flashed perfectly and my soft keys are functional. Not quite sure what the deal was before but miui is booting just fine. I'm afraid to boot recovery to many times as everyone seems to lose it after a few uses. We'll see how it goes for now, never been an miui fan to iphoneish for my taste but until i can build a recent cm7 rom i need something, was getting bored with rooted stock.
Thanks again for your help!

Glad it all worked out.....
Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.
Assuming you'll be at a computer soon. You need to Odin back to stock blaze firmware. Using the blaze uvlh5.(I think that's it.) From samfirmware.com
