New to rooting Android, but I've been runnning rooted WinMo for a while. I got an Aria and followed the sticky instructions successfully....until I went to flash Cyanogenmod 7. The flash failed initially with the 'assert failed' message. I enable script asserts and tried again, and the screen has been stuck on 'Installing update...' for an hour.
Should I worry, wait, or just yank the battery and try again?
TIA
I would redownload and try again

I was trying out CM7 nightlies but the bugs were overwhelming, and when I tried to restore my previous ROM through Clockworkmod it couldn't find the boot image. I rebooted and have been stuck on the Vibrant/Samsung startup screen ever since. Can anyone help?

I agree. What was the ROM you tried to restore? was it a 2.3 gingerbread ROM as well as CM7? or was it a 2.2 ROM that you tried to restore while still running 2.3 CM7?

CM uses a different file system from other ROMs (MTD/yaffs2) which means your old ROM's kernel won' t be able to read the file systems on the phone. You need to Odin back to stock with a re-partition, re-root, re-install clockwork and re-flash.
There a sticky on how to use Odin, and how to get into download mode here:

no harm no foul!
as soon as i saw the word 'kernel' here i knew what i'd done. i did try restoring back to gingerclone 2.2 while still running cm7. wah wah. but no harm, it was my girlfriend's phone and she's already back from tmo with a brand new galaxy s 4g. thanks for the replies fellas
I tried to do an ota update and after the download and reboot it comes back with 'update is fail' at the install screen. System then reboots and says the install was interrupted. Would being rooted cause this? All I did was run doom's batch script. I have not changed the kernel or anything else. Should be completely stock still. I even tried to unroot using superoneclick. But it still failed after unrooting. Can anyone throw some suggestions out?

In short, no update it was for Skyrocket.
Yesterday I installed CM7, I did everything according to the tutorials, I am running kernel 2.3.4. This morning I was recording a video of my daughter, but suddenly the camera forced closed and I was unable to access the camera, so I restarted my phone. Unfortunately my phone got stuck on a boot loop, so I tried wipe data/factory reset. Now my phone is stuck on the motorola logo and I don't know what else to do.
I tried applying update from sdcard but signature verification fails.
It sounds like you are going to have to sbf. That's the only downside to beta testing. Unexpected things might happen. Signature verification failed because when using stock recovery, the update.zip needs to be signed by moto.

Thank you, I just sbf and everything is back to normal. First time installing custom rom, so I kinda panicked when the phone got stuck on the dual core logo!
I did the same thing. Sbfing will be your best friend and worst enemy lol

My thunderbolt got stuck in boot loop about a week later after flashing Liquid ICS MR3V1. If I attempt to reboot the phone numerous times it will eventually boot up and work fine. The phone will not allow me to get into recovery - it will just go into boot loop once recovery is selected. I did manage to get the phone to go into recovery one time and I wiped everything and installed an infected eternity rom that I have been running for a long time without any issues. I thought I was okay once I flashed this rom but when I restarted the phone it went into the boot loop sequence again. Currently after 15+ attempts at starting the phone I got it to boot up without the SD card. I rooted my thunderbolt through revolutionary...if it matters?
From reading other threads it appears I need to install an RUU? Can I just install a RUU that will not un root my phone or do I need to change my modded Hboot, go back to s on and unroot? I flashed roms numerous times without issues and I always wipe multiple times and I am not sure what happened here. Unfortunately I do not have any backups to revert back to -- since I read flashing an RUU without the proper steps can brick my phone I wanted to seek advice to make sure I do it properly.
ys RUU can help you . just my own thought.
good luck to you :laugh:

Sounds like something is just wrong with you recovery. Try flashing another recovery. Also, IF you're using the boot manager app, it may be acting up. If the boot manager app is on your phone, I'd recommend removing it.

Do you mean try re installing cwm? I currently can't get into cwm because it goes into the boot loop sequence. I will try this later tonight and see if it helps. I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

No, boot manager is just an application from the play store.
Yes, try downloading cwm recovery again.

Update - I reinstalled CWM and got the phone into recovery, and did a reset, wiped everything and got stuck in boot loop. I eventually got the phone to boot up and I deleted a couple roms, etc in my download folder. After this was done I power cycled the phone twice without any issues.
I've been trying to load a new rom onto my fascinate sch-i500v for a few hours now. I previously had a 4.1 build (milestone I think) and cwm 4.0.1.0 installed. I've tried every rom from cw10 to hellybean to avatar and they all do the same thing. I wipe the cache, factory reset. Then installed from the zip file. At this point, the install starts to initiate, but the phone suddenly reboots and after a few seconds tries to load up the old rom (unsuccesfully, hence why I said I'm seeing the "initiating swagger" load screen forever)
Yesterday, I did this exact upgrade successfully to my other fascinate sch-500 (no v on the end for that one, not sure if that makes any difference).
That one rebooted suddenly as well, but it went back into the clockwork recovery and completed the install without a hitch.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'm sort of a noob, but I have flashed over ten phones...
Go back to stock and start over

Thank you. i fugured that was what I needed to do, but I was afraid of how complicated it would be. LMFAO, it was pretty simple!
