I'm not understanding. What did you do? What process did you take? It looks like you'll have to sbf now. Put the phone in bootloader and sbf.
Root
D2 bootstrap
Wipe everything
Install gb leak
Reboot
D2 bootstrap
Wipe everything
Install cm7gb (not the froyo ver!)
Install gapps
Reboot
That's the way I always do it. It shouldn't fail you.

CM74D2-GB

If you're on CM7 Froyo, you have to get to GB to then flash CM7GB for D2.

You can SBF to GB directly over CM7 (or if you haev the Team Black Hat app you can flash their ZIP file that works like an SBF using Clockwork Recovery), and then boot up GB, go back into CWR, and then flash CM7GB.

Yup...that's right, that gets you on rooted GB...after you boot up following the SBF, load and use D2 Bootstrapper to get back to CWR, and flash CM7GB.

use a wall charger, not a usb charger. also to get into recovery if it wont boot past the M logo turn off the device hold power and side the keyboard open and hold the up button as well (the arrow pointing towards the screen) and let them both go after a second then you should be ready to use rsd lite

I tried that already. The wall charger does the same thing, it sits at the Moto logo and doesn't charge. I can't get into the boot loader because it says the battery is too low. Vicious cycle, I know.

Actually, unless you are already on a GB ROM, you do need to use RSD Lite to do the SBF using the file at that URL you posted w/the second set of steps. After doing the SBF you can move on to install CM7GB.

If you're on a GB ROM you can go into CW Recovery and wipe data/factory reset and then load CM7GB (and I'd probably format /system for good measure before installing CM7GB).

You can't charge the phone unless it's booted up (unless you're on the stock Moto ROM, which has some magic to allow charging when the phone isn't booted, one very cool enhancement that Moto provides in the stock ROM that I do miss).

Borrow a battery, or find another phone to charge your battery in, then you should be OK.

I thought my phone was a beast with the Froyo based CM7, but I was wrong! This ROM, plus the jakebitesmod and Juice Defender, have taken my phone to levels of beastliness that the Froyo-based nightlies can't even touch!

That's what I'm going to do, when my girl gets home I will switch the batteries out since she's on the stock ROM and has no interest in root or anything else. I can get my battery charged and then try to SBF again and see what went wrong. Thanks for all the advice, guys.

I'm feeling the same way. Only downside with going to CM7GB was losing the 1% battery increments. I'm hoping that's fixed within a few days though.

Does JuiceDefender really make much of a difference? I've already got the jackbite mod and wondered if it's worth installing JD.
