Installing a custom rom...

[Droid DOES!!]

When the phone is off, hold x first. Then hit power (while still holding x).

i have tried to reboot it manually twice by holding the x down during restart...the M is stuck on the screen...nothing is happening. Every once in awile the M dissapears for a second then comes back on. Can I let go of the X yet?

do i continue to hold the power button at the same time or just the x?
Nope, I did it again and it just doesn't do it. The "M" comes on for about
2 minutes then it will blink and stay on for another 2 minutes. It will continue
this cycle until I let go of the "x" button, then it will reboot as normal.

You can let go of the power button when the "M" comes up but continue holding x until you see CW or the exclamation point.

Recovery wasn't flashed correctly (see why I don't trust ROM Manager?). How did you root?

Honestly I forgot how I rooted, I think I used a 1-click method if I'm not mistaken.

Recovery isn't there then. Use the method I mentioned with ROM Manager a couple posts back. That should do it

I tried "flash alternate recovery" and got a message that says "an error occured while flashing your recovery"

so there is no clockworkmod recovery when you hold power/x?

Try using the option in RM to flash an older version

He's not even seeing the Droid and exclamation point. Weird.

Looks good. Now that you have that rom installed, make a backup. Just to make sure you dont loose all your hard work. You can never have too many backups.
