I recently repaired a D2 for my use but I appear to have an issue with installing any roms on it.
-I first root my device
-Install clockwork from the Play store
-Install clockwork recovery through that
-Install bootstrap program and install bootstrap
-Use reboot recovery option in there
-Factory reset, wipe cache, battery stats (and on my first attempt, the dalvik)
-Install CM7 nightly
-Install gApps
-Reboot
After this, I am stuck on the Motorola screen. Pulling the battery, I am unable to re-enter the recovery from PWR + X and I am forced to SBF the phone.
Am I doing something wrong? I basically followed the instructions on Cyanogen's wiki.
Are you on froyo (2.2) or gingerbread (2.3)? Also what version of cyanogen are you using?
I used an SBF here on the forum, so it's Android ver 2.3.3, specifically:
Code:
1FF-p2a_droid2_cdma_droid2-user-2.3.3-4.5.1_57_DR2-31-110719-release-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf
I'm currently just trying to get CM7 (nightly) on. The latest build under cdma_droid2 in the Cyanogen downloads as I was unsure which one of the 4 sections labeled "droid2" I should use. So, I went with the section that the wiki page pointed to.

None of the cm7 nightleys will work when flashed over 2.3.3. They are froyo builds.

I thought CM7 was gingerbread, otherwise it'd be CM6.
Liberty looks like gingerbread (It doesn't specifiy). Would this work?

It is gingerbread but it runs on the froyo kernel. Liberty in the dev section has problems but it is gingerbread.

Yeah, for GB you'll need CM9, Galnet MIUI and a few other builds, or Liberty.

AOKP is the CM9 build here? Also, do I have to bootstrap every time I want to get into clockwork? Hitting PWR + X brings me to the stock recovery.

My AOKP port is n cm9. Not if your on a custom rom.
Well, I managed to get MIUI installed, only to forget the gapps. So, adding in the boostrap again and clockwork, I hit the reboot into recovery option on the bootstrapper. Only to stay at the Motorola logo and then it appears to boot normally, except that it's now stuck on the MIUI loading splash.
This same thing happened with Liberty and AOKP, every time I want to get back into recovery after flashing a new rom, it does this. Now, if I'm lucky, I can get into the stock recovery (that's IF i can get into it) and do a factory reset but, that only worked once. Is there anything I can do? I'd rather not have to SBF the phone...again (4 times now).
Never use the bootstrapper if you're in a custom rom!!!

I currently have Liberty X 2.0.1 (Froyo based) installed on my Droid X and was looking to upgrade to Cyanogenmod, which is Gingerbread based. My question is what's the procedure I have to go through to get from Liberty to Cyanogenmod? Sorry for the newbie question.
If u know how to sbf I would just go to cm7.com and install the latest nightly for the droidx and flash it right of foyo and if the didn't work sbf to gingerbread and try it from there but I haven't had cm7 on my phone in a while but I'm pretty sure I installed it right from foyo becauae I remember coming from liberty to cm7 and loved it

No offense to this guy, but I think i should clear it up a little bit. Since you are on froyo it will be easier to go to the official CM7 nightlies because, even though they are gingerbread, they run off of the froyo kernel.
There are unofficial nightlies that run off of the gingerbread kernel already, but it will be very complicated process to get there.
Here some tested instruction on how to get on the official and unofficial nightlies. Let me know if you have any questions!
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1633-HOW-TO-Installing-CM4DX-or-CM4DXGB
Go to the link below, it explains the process in great detail. If you want to use the "official" nightlies (based on Froyo kernel) then do the section titled "for froyo kernel rom". Don't worry, it's still gingerbread based, just using the froyo kernel.
If you want to go to CM7 based on gingerbread kernel then you'll have to get to gingerbread .596, .602 or .605 first. Read the section titled "for gingerbread kernel rom".
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1633-HOW-TO-Installing-CM4DX-or-CM4DXGB
I just went from .605 to RevNumbers' CM4DXGB the other day, loving it so far. He just came out with a new release which is on page 375 or 376 of his ROM thread. I haven't tried that yet but will probably update this weekend.
when installing CM9 to your defy is it the same process for flashing CM7 or is there a slight variation or something?
Now why would you open a new thread for this question?
i realised that i could've directly asked on the actual CM9 thread, only after i'd just posted this thread, sorry.

The original thread was Dev based, about the ROM being released and how stable it is as released. This thread was noob based about how to flash said ROM and if it is different from another, very similar ROM.
Why clutter one thread when you can have two?
Anyway, to answer the question instead of of questioning the question, Yes the basic principle is the same. Once you have the System Recovery installed, it's a case of copying the CM9 zip file to your SD card and flashing the same as CM7, although the way I've personally done it is using Multiboot, so that I can normally use CM7 for "production" but can have a go and see how CM9 is progressing for a few minutes or so.

Reboot and press vol- when you seen blue light. You'll be taken to the bootmenu. It's stated in there version of your current bootmenu.
And yes you need to change it speaking of compatibility..

As far as I know, you can still use Argen2Stone, the Cyanogenmod 7 from Endless7 and Cyanogenmod 9. There's no MIUI for GB kernel, so you can't install it.

Endless CM7 ROM installed, did all the procedure correctly but when the recovery Reinier it simply appears the Endless logo Rom and is fully off, the boot menu also does not start
D2Recovery boot menu and I was working properly
WHAT can be?
Which EndlessCM7 ROM you install? I think the only newest ones are compatible with GB kernel.
You have to flash the sbf 2.3.6 again and later try to install the latest rom available.
EndlessCM7 can be used.

"cwm 2.5.x all" is only recovery that backs up stock rom to my knowledge. You will need to flash it to make your backup then flash "cwm fixed for cm7" to proceed with cyanogenmod.

Find official froyo
Unzip it and put into your sdcard like /dload/update.app
Close your phone.
Press vol+ vol- and power and keep until update screen.
After the successful froyo downgrade root it.
Copy cwm
