Rom Manager has a version 3.0.0.7, the latest clockworkmod recovery is 3.0.0.5, they are 2 different things.

It seemed to flash fine for me. Everything is working great except for my apps. Not all of them reloaded. Anyone know how I can get the rest of them to load?

[Help] Stuck at Boot Screen with All Roms

I rooted my phone yesterday with the help of the folks in the chat room.
Everything went smoothly. I had Clockwork 3.0.0.5. I tried to install Royal Liquid rom but it got stuck on the splash screen. Then I read about the problem with 3.0.0.5.
I have since download and attempted to install CM7, evil-4G-HD, Royal Glacier, and a few other roms but they all get stuck on splash screen. Before I install each rom, I wiped data, cache, and delvik, and formatted boot, system, and SD card.
I can get into recovery fine, but I keep getting stuck at splash screen. I have left the thing boot for 10 minutes and nothing.
Is it possible to install Clockwork 3.0.0.6 or higher (3.0.1.4) through Clockwork Recovery since I can't get into a rom and into Rom Manager.
Any suggestions?
Ok. Finally solved it at 4:41 am!!! Downloaded Royal Ginger, went through the motions, and finally got pasted the boot screen. Downloaded Rom Manager and updated Clockwork to 3.0.0.6. And now I'm in Royal Liquid!!! Can't wait to go flash crazy.
Download 3.0.0.6 from dev section and install via recovery. Then wipe data/cache, boot, system, and davlik and try again.

Can't boot into anything

So, I just flashed the latest CyanogenMod nightly. All went according to plan until the phone rebooted. Now I can't boot into anything. Neither the mod nor recovery. When I press "X" and Power to boot into recovery I just get stuck on the triangle screen and when I power up normally I get suck on the "M" logo.
I have no idea how to flash the SBF from here. Thoughts?
Same Problem!
I flashed the latest CM7 from the website. I can get to the standard recovery and to the bootloader, but have no idea how to get my phone back to a working condition. I already flashed the Droid bootstrap recovery, but can't seem to boot to it to install another ROM. Anyone help?
did you try wiping cache and data in android recovery?
edit: if that doesn't work, try
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-global-hacks/184272-bootloop-help-tutorial.html
or the ABD boot to revovery in the FAQs
I did format the Data and Cache with the recovery tool. I ended up following the instructions at the CM7 Wiki to reinstall the factory image, now it's working OK.
I think the reason you were having trouble with the recovery was because its a different method on gingerbread. On froyo you just press the search key and it boots you into recovery, on gingerbread you have to hit both volume keys at the same time. I know this is a mute point to you know but maybe someone else has a similar issue.
no he said
I can get to the standard recovery... I did format the Data and Cache with the recovery too

and that didn't fix it, so he got into recovery ok

[Q] Please help! Stuck on boot screen!

I attempted to flash a Liquid Smooth rom yesterday. I rebooted into the bootloader, and chose recovery mode. I wiped all cache, then installed the zip. I followed this by installing the gapps zip immediately, which I think I shouldn't have done.
When I rebooted it, it was stuck on the liquid smooth screen for a while, I know this is normal, but when it sat there for an hour and fifteen minutes I knew something was wrong. If I hold down both volume keys and the power button I can reboot into the bootloader again, but when I now choose recovery mode, it gets stuck on the google load screen.
Can anybody help me out?

Plug the N7 into your PC before you boot into the bootloader.
You were correct to flash gapps immediately after flashing the ROM. Maybe the ROM didn't flash correctly because you only wiped caches. If you are coming from a different ROM you will need to do a factory reset. If you didn't back up your apps and don't have a nandroid, then you might want to wipe caches, format system, and reflash the previous ROM and try to boot in and backup your apps. Might not work but worth a shot if you got stuck where you are now with no app backups.

Wow, that didn't even cross my mind, I did this and I've got the rom up and running now. Thanks a lot.

[Q] question: infinite boot image with custom rom

I know it has been asked before, and I have searched the threads. reverting to stock is not a problem.
nexus 7 grouper when installing a custom rom (liquid smooth v2.9 specifically) I get stuck on the liquid boot image.
I have successfully installed v2.7 and am able to revert back to stock or custom.
after a data format, factory reset, and wiping all caches, installing the zip file from abd sideload, or directly from the device the new rom that has flashed will not get past the boot image. am I doing something wrong, or could I do something differently so that the new v2.9 boots up correctly?
I know it has been asked, but the most common answer is to go back to stock. okay, I get that. but I know this rom will run (it is flawless on my s3,) but I cant seem to get it working on the nexus.
thank you.

There have been numerous reports of bootup problems with "clean" LiquidSmooth ROMs in v2.7, 2.8 and 2.9.
Some possible solutions are:
Dirty flash on top of a LS ROM that boots (for instance dirty flash 2.9 on top of 2.7). When doing this you DON'T clear data and cache, but flashes new rom directly, along with gapps and kernel, and boots up. This has worked for some.
Another option when you get stuck on boot screen is to boot into recovery, and do factory reset and clear caches one more time, and try to reboot. It might take several times booting into recovery, and clear data/caches before it boots up, but again this has worked for some.
Finally you could also try the order in which you flash stuff. For instance try ONLY flashing rom, then reboot. If it works, then flash gapps. If it gets stuck, try flashing both rom and gapps in recovery, then reboot etc.
Hope that gives you something to play with! And I'm pretty sure that if you're insistent enough, you will eventually get it to boot! :good:

I will keep trying. getting liquid to run on the fascinate was curious as well, but after a few flashes it took. I'll keep trying on the nexus.
Update: yes, persistence is the key. thanks
What I did was from v2.8 a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and flash from sideload
as expected it boot looped. manually booted into fastboot and flashed v2.9 again with only a cache and dalvik wipe.
this time it booted and I flashed gapps.
at the reboot I set up the rom to my liking and it seems to boot normally now.

Yes, after it boots through the first time, I've only seen it boot normal from that point on.

i9505 always booting into recovery/download mode

I downloaded Imperium ROM from a thread on xda and installed it. I wiped data, wiped cache and dalvik and installed zip. Then I rebooted and it showed a downloading screen, after a little bit of research it's called download mode or ODIN mode. Now what's happening is whenever I try to reboot, it shows the S4 i9505 screen (i think it's called a splash screen, thats what someone called it) and freezes. After about 10-15 seconds, reboots into recovery. I've got CWM installed and I've ran out of ideas. The volume buttons are not being touched and for some reason recovery and download mode are always being booted into, never the OS.
I'm also new so anything I've done wrong, I'd love to know.
CWM recovery is outdated and should not be used anymore. Instead only use TWRP. Flash it trough Odin in the same way you flashed CWM.
You say that you only wiped data, cache and dalvik. You also HAVE to wipe /system. Otherwise the rom will probably not boot.

Update I tried to install albe95's s6 port. I've noticed something and it's that both ended up with Statuc 7 or some word that started with "S" and had the number 7. Googled that and turns out it's bad. I formatted /System and installed the ROM, it worked!
I guess there was just no OS to boot into. Going to try installing Imperium now.
Status 7 errors can occur if the recovery is outdated. What recovery is on the phone?
