Install CM7

Does anybody know how to install CM7 after flashing the 2.3.6 Latam Retail sbf?

I have tried, and all I get right after rebooting from the installation, is the Motorola Logo and then a black screen.

I really want to get CM7 again!!!!

PLEASE HELP!!

I'm assuming you're trying Endless7 CM7... in which case there's a fixed-sbf you need to flash in order to boot it, but check out this thread:

You're better off with CM9, Endless7's CM7 it's not very optimized, and it's not being developed anymore, CM9 is :)

I did try CM9, but it was a little slow (dont know if it was due ro the launcher)
Im not trying to get the Endless to work, trying to get the other one, the one that says 120221

Any recomendations besides CM9?
Im currently using MokeeOS, but im really needing to use wifi tethering, and it is not working on CM9 or MokeeOS.

As far as I know, there are only those three ROMS working on GB Kernel... CM9, Endless7's CM7 and Mokee, and in my humble opinion the best option is CM9

Is this works for all phone?

Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app

No, just Motorola Milestone 2 with 2.3.6 R01 or R02 firmwares... you must look up your phone's specific model forum for instructions

is it a bug or i had make a mistake ?
do this:
adb shell "rm /data/preinstall_md5/*"
and then run the script again, but when instead of rebooting into bootloader mode and flashing, just reboot it normally

You're not flashing the sbf when you should, you must do it when the script prompts you to do it, not afterwards:

"Without closing this window, shutdown the phone
and restart it in bootloader mode (power + UP key in the keyboard)
Once inside the bootloader mode, flash the fixed.sbf from rsdlite
after it restarts, enable USB debugging and press enter to continue...
Premere un tasto per continuare . . ."
When you see this, DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING, do as the script tolds you, turn off the phone, enter bootloader mode, flash the sbf file included with the script and when the flashing finishes, you can continue the script and you won't get any errors, I've tested this many times and the script is flawless, but you have to follow the steps carefully

The adb shell command is executed through windows command line utiliy "cmd", just open up Start menu, hit Run... and type cmd, hit enter and then type the command there

The MotoFail exploit doesn't work on these Roms. We tried it, a lot :p

You're doing fine until step 5, when RSD says PASS, you just simply close RSD and press enter on the previous cmd window, it does everything else by itself, you don't need to type commands by yourself, that's what the script is for :)

Please try again and tell me how it turns out :)

That error is typical of flashing a ROM that doesn't match your kernel.
The easiest way to get the phone working again is by getting into bootloader mode and flashing an stock ROM from RSD lite.

After that always remember to check for what kernel the ROM is designed.
