Clockwork Recovery Won't Boot

Ok, so I did my first root last night with my G2x and flashed CM7 onto it using the instructions here for GB. The process didn't seem to go through at first because it kind of froze for awhile, but when I took out the battery and put it back in it loaded up. (I understand I may have made a mistake here.)
I thought all was good but then I tried to boot up Clockwork recovery to flash the GAPPs zip and everytime I tried it wouldn't go through the screens it is supposed to.
I'd hold the down volume and power buttons and the first LG (white) would show. Then it would bring up a cyan colored horizontal loading bar under the LG. I continue to hold the buttons hoping to see the cyan LG but then screen changes to a box with an orange arrow pointing to an android logo. There is a loading bar under this as well. If I let go here it loads up CM7 but if I continue holding on it takes me to the S/W screen.
I've tried this multiple times but I've kinda given up. I even tried individually installing the apks from the GAPPS zip but only a few of them successfully installed.
At a loss .Please let me know what I can do.

Let me guess. You flashed CWM via ROM manager?
Follow he guide here and let us know how it goes:

Also, before you install the ROM use the wipe tool in my sig.

I appreciate the response but I did use that thread to flash it.

When it get to the point where "the cyan colored horizontal loading bar" let go of the volume and power button and see if it boots into CWM.

Ok, I tried that and it went to that android logo screen again. Then it went to a black screen and then the cyan LG logo screen. From there it booted up CM7.
I just noticed when I try to boot into Clockwork it erases everything I added to it including contacts and apps I installed.

I will unroot and try again. A few questions though:
I'm reading and it looks like I need to be able to boot into CWR to be able to unroot...is using ROM Manager a safe alternative?
And also, while I followed the instructions for flashing through the thread you provided last time, I read that I may need to erase/wipe certain types of data before I do so to avoid the market problems. Can someone provide me information on that?
I just want to make sure I do this right a second time.

No need to unroot... as long as your computer still detect your phone... just flash everything again... I mean since you want to root... I would just do all the rooting process again... and reflash clock work... don't use rom manager to flash clockwork mod...
Or
And since you can't get into clockwork... you can just try flashing clockwork again... no rom manager

Sweet, so I reflashed CWR and CM7 and I got my contacts back and several other minor issues were corrected.
I am experiencing a new problem now though. Whenever I try to download from the market it tells me "[App name] could not be downloaded due to an error."
What can be done to fix this?

Try flashing Google apps again. Cm7 doesn't include them in their builds.

Rom Manager is not a safe alternative. Stay with Nvidia ClockworkMod.

Its should be a blue lg logo when you have to let go of the buttons.

Every time before you re- flash a rom I would recommend doing a data/factory reset within clockwork recovery. then Wipe your cache. And then even a wipe of the dalvic cache under advanced settings. Then flash the rom then gapps. Then reboot. Its called doing a clean install. It just makes everything smoother when re- flashing. And if your apps ever not update like that again just fix the permissions in clockworkmod then reboot. It usually fixes it. And i don't recommend flashing directly from the rom manager. Do it from recovery instead. Hope this helps.:thumbup:

Rocking stock CM 7.2.0-RC1

Similar issue, totally different outcome...
Ladies and Gentlemen (and low-lifes),
I have found myself in a similar situation, after recently flashing a ROM, to where I am now unable to boot into CW Recovery. The ROM flashed is working fine but when I attempt to boot into recovery I get a black screen and it never progresses beyond that. I have attempted to reflash of course via NVFlasher and from all indications it's been a successful flash. That said, the results remain the same... black screen.
FYI: I have not yet attempted to flash back to Stock Recovery.
•Current Rom - Owain's Domination v77 (a great ROM by the way)
•Current kernel - Harsh's 3.0.32
•Used Nullifier to prep device for ROM install (as I have been doing for sometime now)
If anyone has any experience w/this issue or any advice going forward I would greatly appreciate it.
UPDATE: (that was fast huh?) .................................................................................................................................................................................................
So I went ahead and flashed the Stock Recovery, tested and got access. I then flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 and to my delight was able to see the CWM console. I let go of the power and volume down buttons and the phone rebooted. Now the ROM will not boot, just sits in a forever cycle on the splash screen and the results continue to be the same as recently mentioned for attempting to get into the freshly flashed recovery.

Ok, I will bring my concerns to an end now. I forced CWM to remain in play by not letting go of the power and vol. down buttons then using my thumb to see if I could stroll through options in CWM. Once I accessed a few it remain stable. I nullified and re-flashed my ROM and all seems ok in my personal corner of the universe. I am now able to boot into CWM without issue.

Can not root??

I successfully rooted my phone initially. Upgraded from Froyo to GB by flashing this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507658.
I want to install the new Z-tr, but I can not get root access again. SOC keeps getting stuck on "running psneuter". I also tried this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqzbsVjOYVU form qbking77. No superuser app.....I need yalls help please. I need to be rooted to install ztr. I also noticed that when I connect my usb cable, although debugging has been enabled, it doesnt show debugging as active while plugged in.

I was able to flash back to stock using the method you gave me, but after it finished I was still unable to get debug to work when I plugged the usb cable in. I have deleted and re installed all drivers. I don't know what else to do.

Ok, did you go into settings....applications...go into development...check usb debugging....
also...makes sure you check "unknown sources"
this will allow you to copy to the internal sd your rom that you want to install...but to get CWM go back to qkster thread and flash the kernal required...
RECOVERY:
After you have flashed the UCLB3, some of you may want to have Red ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery to flash another ROM.
Put your phone back into DOWNLOAD mode after your phone has booted up.
Flash this package. It is Entropy512's DD kernel. It will boot your phone completely.
Once the phone has booted into stock ROM, use the three fingers technique to get into recovery.
When in CWM:
I recommend the following to get the cleanest flash that has not failed me.
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache.
4 Go back and into Mount and Storage: format system, format data, format cache.
5. Go back to main and flash your ROM. After flashing the ROM, I suggest going into advance and wipe dalvik and fix permissions - unless specifically said not to do so in the OP of the ROM.
Recovery Mode: Power off, hold both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. Samsung logo should come on. Let go only the power button, Keep holding the volumes buttons for 12-15 seconds and let go.
I know you want to flash ztr as you stated in the first post...but the dev has moved on, there are lots of roms that being supported by dev themers that are still around...take a look at he ROMs in the development thread lots of screens posted and the themes & apps thread...the home posting thread.... look around
I only say this because of the support you may need, will be around with the current Dev, but it is totally up to you...

Thanks. Your the man! now running Z-TR. I will admit..... I bout shat a brick when my phone started talking to me during Entropy application lol

Pull the battery and go HERE.
Make sure you do the "Replace" step mentioned at the bottom of the "HOW TO FLASH A FXZ" section if you were on a 2.3.6 based ROM.
Also, did you have enough battery left (say, around 60-70% to be safe) when this happened? If not, plug it in the wall charger for a while first.
Good luck!

What ROM did you flash? You might need to wipe data/factory reset. Boot up by holding the volume buttons and the power button, then use the volume up button to boot into recovery. Once you see the exclamation mark, press both volume buttons. Then use volume down to scroll to "factory reset" and use the power button to select it.

5:53 guy: i tried to flash the ICS CM9 that they had in the development forum
5:47 guy: i went to the post and went to the fastboot section, but the links provided were either broken or didnt contain the FXZ file. If this help any this is what happened. i backed up my stock rom using the cwm recovery and then when that was succesful, i downloaded the cm9 (but i it was for the droid 3 not the atrix 2 because thats what they said to download in the forum).i wiped all the data cahce and dalvik info. (data x3 , cache and dalvik x1) then i went into "install from zip" and i choose the file they gave me. it finished, i selected reboot the phone, and now im here in a soft boot. CURSE YOU CM9 FOR DROID 3 #lol.

thanks though.

ZOMG! i finally got it using THIS ONE CLICK METHOD! I wish i could remember what forum i got this outta of cause i would give that user a million thanks.

Stuck in Reboot

So I have a major problem. And I'm probably a moron. This is the first time I've ever gone to flash to a custom rom on this phone.EDIT: I have flashed custom roms multiple times on past phones but never on android. I unlocked (EDIT: ROOTED) it several months ago using ACE kit and worked perfectly. I finally decided I was ready to go to a custom Rom. I downloaded Rom Manager by clockwork mod and paid for the premium version. My phone isn't connecting to my laptop and isn't able to synce. I think it may be my USB cord, but that's what caused me to flash through Rom Manager. I downloaded the ClearDroid Mod, Backed up my phone using Titanium Backup, then went back into Rom Manager and clicked begin flash to new rom or whatever it said. It went through everything and said it was a success. PHone restarts into white HTC screen. Then changes to Black HTC screen with quietly brilliant underneath. It sits there for a few minutes then quietly brilliant "rewrites" itself underneath. I have no clue what to do and obviously am way over my head. I hope I can get help.
Thank you in advance.

This is just a boot loop. One of the reason why I don't use rom manager. Any who. Pull the battery. Put it back in and boot phone up with volume down and power pressed simultaneously. You should see a white screen. This is the boat loader. Scroll down to recovery. In recovery wipe data/cache/dalvik. Then select install from SD. And choose your rom
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA

Did as you said. Didn't work. Still the same problem. I wiped everything, which was 2 options, wipe cache, and wipe user data. I think selected install from SD, navigated into the clockword folder in my card until I found the Cleardroid Rom. It installed again (succefully according to the screen) and I went and selected reboot. And back to same problem. I probably should have backed up my current rom shouldn't I?

Live and learn. The first boot does take the longest, give it a few minutes. But if it doesn't boot then it could have been. Bad download. What you can do is download the from again or a differentrom on your PC. Then in clockwork mount the SD card and transfer it over or you can use an adapter which ever is easier
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA

Thanks! I was actually in the process of installing another ROM when you responded. I remember reading other threads and put a few pieces together. Seems as though it worked. Thanks for your help though.
One last question. Can I just install ROMs through that method everytime? As in start in bootloader, enter recovery, and install that way?

Yup, that's how I do it. I prefer to manually wipe and install roms. Many roms come with an advance power menu so its even easier as they have an option to boot straight into recovery.

[Q] HELP!

I was flashing a friends galaxy blaze 4g back to stock. After following all the instructions the flash went through. But now I cannot go past the setup screen. I can see that some of my old apps are still there but since i get a force close at the setup I cannot go beyond that. I tried reflashing several times but the same problem. Any suggestions?

Go into recovery, if you have a custom one still, if not then flash one with Odin. Once in there, do a nandroid to back up your stuff and then wipe /data, /cache, dalvik cache, /system and do a factory reset and try again. If that doesn't work still then you may need to wipe /emmc also. Google for the stock ICS firmware and instructions.

Can't even get into recovery mode or download mode
Hi guys, I had a custom rom installed on the Galaxy S Blaze by TM for months. I tried to revert it back to stock rom. I failed to get into download mode for over an hour using the Vol Up/Down/Power key combination after removing the battery. I tried every possible combination including when to let power key go, other keys go, battery in, out, etc. Anyway, I finally was able to enter into ODIN mode thru ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD after turning on the debugging with previous rom. Then I installed the stock rom downloaded from perhaps a wrong place. Everything installed correctly, ODIN passed, and I smiled like a winner.
However, I can't get past the setup due to the error, "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Click ok, and I get the new error, "The application Google Services Framework.... stopped". Then, "the application Calendar storage... stopped". Then, the process about gapps stopped. Basically, I can't get any further on a so called "stock rom".
My dilemma is, I can't get into CWM recovery mode or the download mode anymore. It appears that if I enter the right combination, I get a few scattered pixels on the screen (instead of the CWM menu), and the number of pixels keep increasing until the screen turns practically white (in approx 5 minutes). Same store with recovery mode, computer won't even load drivers anymore, let alone ODIN reading it on a COM port. Getting into ODIN was already an impossible task 4 hours ago.
Help please!
