Unhappy Bootloops AFTER Restore?

Hey Everyone,

I was just testing CM7 but I kept getting black screens after I locked the screen, so I went back to CWM and restored. The restore went fine but when I pressed 'Reboot phone now' it went into a bootloop. I then pulled the battery and tried wiping everything and restoring again. No success, still bootlooping.

So...any ideas?

<Edit> I flashed CWM with NVFlash (i have no idea why i did that) so now im on an older version of CWM and it cannot find my backups.

maybe u stored ur restore in the External SD...and it is not able to find it...maybe u can try to install ROM manager and flash the latest CWM via the ROM manager...did u try tht?

I cannot boot into my phone. The only thing I can access is my the old CWM that i got through NVFlash. Restoring worked but still bootlooped when I had the newer CWM.

As far as I remember....i think if u have stored your backup in the internal SD...then nvflash will do a wipe/....so u dont find it....do u have a backup in the computer which can be loaded to the EXTSD card and then try the restore....
Just a silly question:if u have restored....which backup u restored to???

Hey there. Thanks for your care and input. I've managed to fix my phone.

It happened to be that the CM7 I installed converted my phone to EXT4, I downloaded the EXT3 converter and now it's working.

Don't worry, your input is not wasted! I will still hit that thanks button.
