[Q] D2G saved from Brick now boots into Recovery every reboot

[barryweston]

Hey,

So I was a victim of not enough reading and doing to much at one.

I had a rooted stock GB ROM on my D2G and through easy enough, BootStrap, CWM via Rom Manager and flash CM 7.1. All should be good.

WRONG

I got hung up at the red M logo and try various things to revert to stock b/c there was no way I was getting into the CWM recovery console again.

After failing at every corner a random and 10,000th battery pull I ended up in CWM.

Since the one thing I did right was a nandroid backup I was restored it and the phone booted. I then shut down, dropped in SIM (rogers) and booted back up.

Now everytime I reboot it takes me to CWM. Forcing me to hit reboot system now otherwise it sits in recovery.

Any way to have it not boot into recovery? Just boot normal?

Thanks.

First, if you are on Rogers in Canada - do not bother trying CM7 - doesn't work properly on GSM. Stock firmware will be much more useful.

Second - There are two CM7's (if you are determined to try it) - one is Froyo base (the one found on CyanogenMod site) and the other one is GB base. It seems you flashed the Froyo based one on top of Gingerbread thus you ended up stuck on red M logo. To fix the problem - you have to either try flashing GB base CM7 from CWM or (better) SBF and start over. Again - if you want Froyo based CM - use the 2.4.29/2.4.33 SBF. If you want to try the Gingerbread based one (check rootzwiki for more info), flash the GB SBF that was recently made available or flash 2.4.29/330 and OTA to 4.5.608. Root, CWM and so and so. But pick your CM7 package carefully!

But if you are not on CDMA - you better don't waste your time with CM7.

Thanks for the reply. The phone boots fine now.

One question tho.

I have some how lost the Accounts and Sync Option.

If I do a factory reset (from phone settings not recovery mode)will I loose root and will I loose the Gingerbread OTA update that was done on the phone before I got it?

Or do you know how to recover something like Accounts and Sync?

I am going to be sticking with the Stock ROM

Have you disabled any system apps? This could be a reason for broken accounts.
As far as factory reset, either from phone menu or from recovery, will not remove root or any other changes you might have made in /system. It simply deletes /data partition.

Thanks I discovered that I had deleted the "Setup.apk" without backing up.

Retrieved that app from another member and all is well.
