Pwr and X should get you to stock recovery (then both volume buttons to get into it), pwr and down arrow should get you to bootloader. There is a way to get to CWR by putting a file on your SD card (that's how the OS does it when you boot into CWR) but that assumes you have some other way to access your SD (From your computer?) and I don't really know what file, or where to put it.
Well I appreciate the info. I can't even get to the bootloader now.... which means I can't even SBF now.... this sucks.
So note to everyone else, DON"T try to create a hybrid CM7/MIUI rom. Apparently if you replace the frameworks outright, it WILL bork your phone!

How exactly did you go about trying that? Should I even ask? lol
Glad you at least got back to the bootloader. I'm hoping you made a backup before trying such a foolish maneuver.
Backup, definitley! But since I had to SBF (which I'm still finishing, taking the Update to GB kernel) I still have to root, then bootstrap, and add CWR before I can even restore it. But at least I can now.
As far as what I did to break it. I took the latest the CM7 build, I added a few system apps from ICS MIUI (which I still think should work) and tried to overwrite the frameworks file with the framework from MIUI ICS ( which I still think could work, if i copied the RIGHT files not all of the files). Then I tried to flash it! I don't know what happened that I couldn't get to anything, it was about 2 hours before I could get to stock recovery, then another 30 minutes before I could get to the bootloader.

I would think the system apps may have worked, but those frameworks are touchy (I think.) I'm no developer, but I'm pretty sure the framework files have something specific to the ROM in them.
They can be indeed. However, if you get the right ones, specifically the visual elements, you can "port" the theme. that is essentially what I was trying. I have used the technique before CM7 when trying to port specific themes from one ROM to another (From Droid X Liberty to D2 liberty for example). I just made a major mistake and copied the entire framework folder. I really should have known better, but I am a bit rusty at themeing now that we have theme chooser.

WOOT! Great news from the Dev thread on Rootz:
"Anyone follow @cvpcs ? he is the guy who came up with the hijack stuff for the dx which lead to cm on are devices... He just tweeted that he fixed the hijack code and is booting ICS builds!"
EDIT: This is the tweet in question:
"Yay! I figured out why my DX builds weren't booting. ICS updates to the hijacking system were crashing it. Fixed now
"
Then he tweeted this to JBird_Vegas:
"it's still very much broken, so it's not public yet. trying to setup a ton of updates to the codebase"
and this also to JBird:
"stop by my irc tomorrow or something. I can fill you in"
Sounds like he and JBird will be working together a bit to get this working for us

Awesome! Might need to break out the D2 for this!
Quite Sharp indeed....
Motorola Droid Razor...
Peace!

So i tried again with just some of the system apps i wanted: MMS, Phone, Contacts, Music, Gallery. Once it rebooted everything started crashing. My guess is that they won't work within the GB framework, they must require ICS framework to thrive.
OK guys I know this probably isn't the right thread for this, but I know the people that check this thread a lot know what they are talking about. I recently bought a wifi only xoom because I figured I'd just use my phone to tether when needed. Btw I'm root running liberty on my D2. I couldn't get tethering or pdanet to work. Does anyone know how to get tether to work? Or pdanet? Btw when I say tethering doesn't work I mean I get the Verizon page when I try to browse on my xoom, and computer.
