(i'm sitting here with my brother's dInc)
rooted using unrevoked 3, downloaded CyanogenMod 7 using Rom Manager
made a backup of stock ROM--for whatever that's worth
rebooted to use Cyano7, but got stuck on the boot screen for 15 minutes.
battery pull, booted up again--stuck on the same boot screen animation for 15 minutes... i can't get the phone to progress past this screen.
read somewhere it's a bad download of the ROM, possibly?
now the phone can't get past the boot screen and going into the Recovery option just brings up the ClockWork Mod recovery symbol that never does anything--it just sits there. tried every option in the Recovery menu but it just goes to a black screen with the symbol-----for minutes on time--i hit the power button and it takes me back to the same reboot option screen...is something supposed to be happening? i never saw an option to load my backup.
any help?
edit: so stupid. so very stupid i am.
trackball=gives options.
Power button=just takes me to the icon screen.
used trackball to highlight & select recovery---restore--and was able to save the phone. wow. breathing easier.
