[Q] Cyanogenmod 7 stuck at M logo

Hey guys, i got the motorola milestone xt720 a few weeks ago and i installed the dexters froyo 2.2.1 on it by reverendkjr's instructions on youtube. After a while i got bored and tried installing Cyanogenmod 7 on my phone by reverendkjr's guide on installing cyanogenmod 6.3 using open recovery. After doin this, it said "well done" and "install success" then i chose "reboot now". After that, it stuck on the M logo. Plz help! I dnt want my parents to get mad.

Have you made a wipe all user data ?
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using xda app-developers app

I guess you haven't wiped the Davlik cache, wipe it back to factory data, wipe the partition cache (guess that's the name, if I recall) . Anyway, I do not recomment 7.2 !!! Install the CM 6.3 or CronosX !
Flashing back to stock is very simple, so there is nothing to worry about .

thanks for replying

Get CronosX or CM 6.3.7 . (I recomment CronosX) .

Do i have to be in stock rom if i want to install CronosX?

If your phone won't boot & you can't get into Open Recovery you will to flash an SBF back to stock, root your phone & install Open Recovery to be able to flash any custom ROM.

I'll check back if ur advise works, thanks

i have a little concern.
I bought my milestone xt720 unlocked for all carriers, i currently have tmobile. would flashing it back to stock rom using rsd lite put it back to running in its original carrier??

It shouldn't. I know many here (me included when I had this phone) flashed the UK & Singapore SBFs without any issues with the carrier.

Which sbf should i flash
ive read a list of SBFs for the xt720 and there's only two SBFs thats in US. Brightpoint US and Cincinatti Bell US. it could even be Videotron Canada. which one should i use??

Viedeotron!
OK i guessed and i got it right, it was videotron, i used rsd lite and flashed it!! thanks, it works again!!:laugh:

Are you wiping data when you flash the rom?
If you don't have any important stuff on your phone, I would just flash the factory images and start over with the rom process.

Well since he's flashing a rom, it would be rooted and the bootloader unlocked.

It never hurts to ask though. Maybe he did something different and bypassed something. You never know. You got to have the whole story. :sly:

When you flash the ROM it also flashes the kernel that comes with it.
So if you are using Mahdi ROM then everything is ok but if you try a different ROM you get the error constantly?

using the ClockworkMod recovery.
If you receive issues on flashing, double check your download. If nothing, I suggest using the ClockworkMod recovery.

The type of recovery you use will have no bearing on it, hundreds of people on here use twrp and cwm.
All I can suggest and it was suggested before is to wipe your phone completely and start over again. Something went wrong, clearly.

Flashed CM 11 now I can't revert!!

Guys be careful when trying the new nightly, I cannot revert back to stock, won't let me fastboot flash any firmware.. Now I'm stuck on Cyanogenmod

I think you cant revert to lower android versions right now because of changed partitions oder something like that... im not sure whats the problem! restore with cwm should help but it's a temporal fix

5.1.1 to CM12.1 advice please

Hi
Stock 5.1.1 LMY48B
rooted with TWRP installed.
Can I flash to CM12.1 just by flashing the zip from TWRP ?
will I lose any data ? Do I need to worry about bootloader or radio versions ?
If I want to go back is it as simple as flashing my nandroid backup ?
Thanks

As I know going from rom to rom you need to make a factory reset.
That will remove all what is stored on /data
All apps, cache and dalvik cache.
All other data insidr /storage/sdcard will be on safe
As I know stock rom cannot be restored, but I just take this device before 1 day. I don't know for that, because on mine previous phone that was impossible

CM nightlies include a radio and bootloader so you don't have to worry about that.

Even if I never tried you should be able to restore a stock nandroid backup thru TWRP (you don't flash anything).

Thanks I'll try this at the weekend ?

No they don't.
But since he's upgraded to stock 5.1.x already, everything is up to date and there's nothing to worry about. Besides, Google's bootloaders usually have good forward- and backward-compatibility.

From Jira:
Me => CM (AOSP) is the only rom which has a bootloader and a radio into its zip. Why? Could you remove them?
I was on the newest bootloader HHz12f and a radio from KRT16M. Every time I flash CM nightlies I have to update my bootloader and flash an older radio. Very annoying.
Thank you.
CM Team => Sorry, we will continue to ship both. It saves us more headaches in the long run. Thanks for your understanding.
It's as simple as that.

Custom ROMs have a check into their update-script for the bootloader version. If you don't have the good one then you can't flash it.
