[Q] Problem while flashing CM7 for Thunderbolt. RC1.7 (phone is not booting)

bitterboy · Sep 20, 2011

Hi,

I successfully rooted my phone using Youtube tutorial without wiping data (revolutionary.io).

After that, I downloaded ROM Manager and tried to flash CM7 for Thunderbolt. RC1.7. While rebooting at that time, the Cyanogen mod screen appears and nothing happens. I am unable to proceed further and the phone is not booting. The phone is displaying that screen for more than 12 hours now. I tried removing the battery, reboot and nothing worked.

Did it get bricked? Can anyone help me resolving this?

Thanks,
Kala

Did you make a backup before flashing cm7?
Do you know how to boot into your bootloader?

No! Unfortunately, I didn't take backup.

I am ready forums and help to understand other options but for now, I don't know how to boot into bootloader.

Did you ever run in to this kind of problem?

Sounds like you didn't clear data and cache when it asked before install. You are going to have to clear them and probably have to reinstall from clockwork recovery.

Yeah go into bootloader(power off then hold volume down button and power together) choose option for recovery. Wipe data/cache and reflash your rom. Lemme know if it works for ya.

I am able to come to that screen and see different options there (ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.1)! There are 2 options to choose here to wipe:

1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache partition

Do I need to choose any of them or choose to install zip from sd card?

Thank you very much!

Choose both of those and then install zip from sdcard. Since you downloaded within rom manager it will be buried somewhere in the clockworkmod directory.

Make sure to clear /system too.

Thank you all

It worked...I am able to boot with the new ROM. As I didn't back up, I lost all my data though! Will my contacts be anywhere and is there a way that I can get them back?

Thank you all once again!

It's interesting! I don't see android market place here in this ROM...am I not seeing it right?

Thanks,

If your contacts were synced with your google account they should just auto-populate. You always want to wipe data/cache 3x before you flash a rom.

bpyazel · Sep 21, 2011

For legal reasons they don't include the market with their rom. It must be flashed separately.

Same happened to me.. When I go bootloader(power off then hold volume down button and power together) it will not let me go down to recovery. it automatically does fast boot. I've been stuck on the CM7 boot screen for 3 hours. Anyother options?
