CM7 bootstrap not working

[wareju]

After I install recovery from the CM7 bootstrap apk and hit run recovery it just powers off my phone. I can boot it back up without any problems just no recovery. It says "connect to nothing" in the instructions so I'm not connected to power, this happened to anyone else? A nice ROM like this without recovery doesn't do much good. Also I'm new to dx2 so it may be a simple solution, I'm hoping so anyway.

Um have u plugged in? Its bootstrap recovery so it only works if u plug it in to your wallcharger. USB will not work either... also u dnt have to launch the app. It will kick off anytime u plug up while powered off. Must be off.

Oh the CM7 bootstrap says plug into nothing so that's what I did, I'll try plugged up. How do you run bootstrap without the app, I thought that was the only way? My old phone was hold both volume buttons and power on but I didn't think that worked on dx2.

While power off plug it to the wall. Easy as pie. Lemmie know if it works.

Oh okay nice. Got it going though, reflashed CM7 and downloaded the apk again and it's booting from the app like the normal bootstrap does. Have to try the other method when I get home.
