How many times did it reboot itself? Mine rebooted itself once after I switched nightlies. If it was more than one, then you may have a problem.

Montecarlo97z:

Have you tried backing up and formatting your SD card? I had a D1 that would not run froyo reliably until I formatted my SD card. That, or try putting a spare SD card in it if you have one.

I'm pretty sure you've done all the other wipes and ritual cleansing activities.

Problem solved!!! I called Verizon customer service again and they walked me thru manual activation. No problem at all! When I called earlier the rep told me there was absolutely no way to activate my phone?!?!? Said he spoke to his supervisor and a tech rep and that my only option was to mail my phone back to my home and have somebody activate it for me. Unbelievable! Just goes to show how poor customer service can be!!!

Hey man! Awesome! I'm happy for you! Very! Nice when I get some good news on such a bad day..lol Glad your back and running! Yeah I believe verizon needs some serious help with customer service...its not the same as it was...this year they tightened up on us smartphone users....lol. However you did get helped in the end...Cool...

Alright, just to confirm. I am running the Build 58 from CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution. This is Froyo-based, right? If that's the case, if I am following the OP correctly I should only take the second set of directions from Droid 2 Gingerbread (2.3.3) - Release - PreRooted reading:

1. Download the following file and place on the root of your sdcard.

File size = 268.6 MB (281634600 bytes)
md5sum = fa4466301e067e813162e6960c1d4da4

Direct Download

Rooted Droid 2 - Mirror 1
Rooted Droid 2 - Mirror 2
Rooted Droid 2 - Mirror 3
Rooted Droid 2 - Mirror 4

2. Put phone into bootstrap recovery

3. Install the file you downloaded above

4. Sit back and watch (Your phone will bootloop for approx 30 secs, if any longer than that, pull battery and restart your phone.

You should now have gingerbread and it should be rooted.

Then, I can install the latest nightly from http://www.revnumbers.info/

Correctomundo? I think all the issues I had before were stemmed from following all of the directions on the mydroidworld link, which is what screwed me in the first place.

After getting the stock rooted GB rom installed, boot up, use D2 Bootstrapper to get back into recovery, and then apply the CM7GB ROM.

Don't use D2 Bootstrapper after installing CM7GB, of course.

Google moved it in the Gmail app...nothing to with the ROM. From Gmail: Settings>Account>Labels to Notify>Inbox (and/or Priority Inbox). For each Gmail account.

It's a royal pain to set them this way...if anyone has found a simpler way to get to the Gmail notification settings please post it.

Gingerbread has an updated radio (.10p) and obviously different kernel, the new radio is most likely to be at the root of your improvements.

What do you mean by "manual activation?"

I called Verizon and they walked me through how to enter a series of numbers starting by dialing ##7764726, the entering a passcode, user acct. #, MDN# and then a CDMA System ID#.

This all took place after I was assured by a rep, supervisor and technician that there was no way to manually activate the phone.

 

[droid2drummer]

Yeah I use the ##program a few times..I have the droid secret tips pro app..and it always updates codes..lol. I love tha app, use to be boring till pro proved that these codes are awesome when in a jam..

All right, I've done this 2x now. The result is a constant bootloop of the CM7 logo. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.

Rundown: Was running Froyo build 58 IIRC.
Wiped and ran the gingerbread link from MyDroidWorld
Got into GB and redownloaded Bootstrapper and ROM manager (just in case on that one)
Bootstrap Recovery -> Reboot Recovery
Install .zip from SD, run the latest Rev Nightly for CM7GB

= CM animation bootloop. Is there a next step I should take? After one attempt of this, I rebooted to stock recovery and SBF'd. When I rebooted after that SBF, I was looking at ADW launcher with 2.3.5 Android. Is this good or am I still up the creek?

What happened with incremental battery indicator? On CM7 Froyo I had 1% increments. on CM7GB it's back to in 10% increments.
