If your rooted download the bootstrap apk. Download cwm and put it on your SD card. Open bootstrap and flash recovery. Now reboot to recovery and flash zip from SD card. Choose your cwm.zip and restart bam your set.

Are you just rooted? Or did you unlock the bootloader? If you only rooted, and are stock, just go menu, settings, privacy, factory reset. You will lose root and be back to normal.

I also have run into this problem. I one click rooted, unlocked bootloader, did the CWM per the QBKing video - went to flash CM7 and got the yellow triangle. Everything I have read states that you have to do a different type of root, which includes the Torpedo Dockless root. I have been at work all day and have not had a chance to try it out - I will be in a hour - I will update accordingly.

As for the root on stock and just doing a factory reset to remove root is untrue. I know from experience. I was rooted, on stock, and did a factory reset several times and still was rooted.

Why should it matter which way root access was achieved? Maybe this is the source of some of my problems. I guess I'll try the torpedo method now. Was using the one-click method.

sjamie,

I just unrooted my phone, and re-rooted using the method in QBKings video. I now have CM7 installed with no problems at all. His rooting method was easy. The hardest part is waiting for the download from the Pudding thread. Hope this helps.
