Cannot backup ROM - Cannot boot into recovery

[maxnicks]

For two days I couldn't backup ROM, couldn't boot into recovery. I scoured the forums and found a bit here and a bit there, none of which really helped. I finally figured it out and thought I'd post my process here in hopes of helping somebody else.

First, here's what I have:

• Droid 1 running Android version 2.2
• Baseband version C_01.43.01P.
• Kernal version 2.6.32.9-g103d848
• android-build@ap26 #1
• Mod Version CynogenMod-6.0.0-Droid
• BuildFRG22
• Rooted
• Running SetCPU at 800/550
• CM6.0 - Rom Manager Premium 2.5.0.4
• I was originally running CM6.0 - Rom Manager Premium 2.5.0.4

The problem were not being able to backup my current ROM or boot into Recovery. Anytime I tried either all I got was the M logo for 3 minutes, the M logo flashed and went back to the M logo for 1 second then booted into normal operating mode. Here is the list of what I did:

1. Reset Permissions
2. loaded rom manager
3. Menu > Clear Download Cache
4. Flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.0.2.0
5. Menu > Clear Download Cache
6. Rebooted
7. Flashed Alternate Recovery - SPRecovery 0.33.3b
8. Menu > Clear Download Cache
9. Rebooted
10. Flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.0.2.0
11. Menu > Clear Download Cache
12. Rebooted
13. Backup Current ROM

And it finally Fracking worked! Rock on. I hope this helps somebody. If somebody knows an easier way to accomplish the same thing then please post it!
