Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik then re-load the nandroid again.

 

[Jaredshoes]

Hmm that did not work "\

Do you have another CM7 nandroid? You might have caught a bad one.

How long did you wait? Especially when I flashed slyraider it was about 10 minutes waiting for it to boot.

I agree sometimes when flashing a new ROM i have had to wait at least 10 minutes and it will be the LONGEST 10 minutes of the day!!! Try again and just walk away from your phone for at least this long.

I have a similar scenario. Dl'ed thru ROM Manager, told it to wipe. Get boot loop on CM7 screen. Now I am in able to boot into recovery. Device just vibrates 3 times and stays black. Any thoughts?

Pull the battery reboot and be sure to push the volume rocker the right way when you go to boot it. Up if I remember correctly download from the source onto your computer load onto your SD card even if you have to pull it and manually load it through a reader. Boot into recovery do a factory reset wipe the cache and in advanced wipe the dalvik. Flash your chosen ROM in recovery and all should be good. I haven't been able to get ROM manger to work for several months now so I just uninstalled it and do all my flashing and backing up manually in recovery now much less a chance for error.

Did you get it to restore? Did you flash manually in recovery or use ROM manager? If you did use ROM manager I would try in recovery with a freshly downloaded copy of whatever you are trying to get running.

I keep at least three backups just for this occasion. Any luck?
