Default [TRICK]Rom switching cm7 to cm9 quick + recovery to recovery CM9 bootloop breaker

Hello,

I dont know if it's really silly to post this,

but flashing CM9 and using three key recovery can lay you into recovery to recovery bootloop.

before, I use to flash [EH03] stock rom to overcome the problem.

I just notice a simple way, maybe some might be aware of this.

Here it goes,

First flash the following recovery from odin :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1301538947


and then once you are in recovery then flash a glitch kernel from recovery :-
dowload link :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1488976

This breaks the loop.

I dont know how it works but seriously it worked for me.

if it doesnt then flash ths build, and you are done. this can also be use to switching cm9 roms easily rather then again going to stock.

Silly? Not at all!! I've been wondering about this issue. So many times I would just say screw it and odin back to EH03 stock and start all over because I couldn't get the right CWM to flash.

Thanks!!!!

LOL! And I just got caught in multiple loops where I had to go back to Odin several times this morning.

Will give it a go if I get looped again.

Would you happen to have a link or maybe direct me to a stable cm7 rom, so that I can follow your method if I get into a bind? Thanks!
