[ROM] [BETA] CyanogenMod 7 for Droid 2

[ldopa]

There's an option right above install zip from sd that says apply update.zip I'm not sure that's the reason for your trouble, but it may be. If you had another update.zip on the sd prior, erase it so there's no confusion

I've noticed you don't need to mount before installing a ROM, but should mount before installing GApps.

I did have another update.zip on the sd card but deleted it per the instructions. I went ahead and re-flashed per the instructions, this time using the "apply update.zip" you mentioned. Now I am stuck on the Motorola logo, ugh.

I just always mount. The rom should do it automatically, but the only bad experiences i've had (sbf, bootloops) was when I didn't mount. So now I just do it before installing anything.

Well, I'm stuck at the boot logo now with no access to my work PC to sbf, don't know what went wrong and don't know what to do now?

Like I said, I wasn't sure that would make a difference seeing that's you already flashed the nightly. Who knows though, if you have to sbf, it may give you a clean install. It is the only approved method for cm7. The all in one wasn't recommended by the devs

Edit: I'm sorry to hear it! Just be patient. Try not to freak out. You'll get it all back soon enough

Yeah, early on in D2 ROM development if you didn't mount System things would just not install/work right. They seem to have fixed whatever scripting error or problem was causing that since then - as noted, I haven't mounted System to install any ROM in quite a while and never mounted System to install Gapps.

However, mounting System certainly won't hurt, and might keep a problem from occurring if something wasn't right.

Boot into recovery and wipe data/cache and see if that helps.

The update.zip method was how swagger suggested me to do it. It worked for me.
Thanks for the info redflea. Good to know!

When I boot into android system recovery it shows;

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

at the bottom of the recovery screen.

Options are to

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Any reason to do any of these things at this point or am i just SOL?

That error message is normal, don't worry about it.

Wipe data/factory reset and reboot...

Did you see my previous post indicating that I am now stuck at the motorola logo and had to boot into recovery manually?

 

[ldopa]

Can he try installing through the update.zip option in stock recovery? That would install the all in one that was renamed right?
