OMG, I had CM7 on it for about a year now, it's been great. Now I tried to flash a different (corn) kernel recovery to it and it's flippin out. I can't get it into recovery mode anymore, the 3 buttons or anything else I do just puts it into download mode. I've flash it back to a stock rom UCKK4 using a 1 click program and it'll boot up but I get all these weird colors on the screen before and after the AT&T logo, like the boot partition is corrupted. Oh man, I just wanted to put the corn recovery on it with cm9, plzzzz help. p.s. I really spent ALL day yesterday reading and trying to figure this out, hoping there was an easy fix.

Don't worry, it is an easy fix.
1. You can't use corn with CM, corn kernel is based off stock KK4 gingerbread.
2. The garbled screen you are getting means that you are trying to boot a gingerbread kernel without having gingerbread bootloaders. You need to flash a stock gingerbread package that includes them.

They meant gingerbread boot loaders because they are backwards compatible with froyo and eclair stock ROMs. Just download a one click stock gingerbread ROM with boot loaders and flash. I'd go for UCKK4 package provided by 4-2ndtwin with boot loaders and repartition
