I'm installing CM7 on my Thunderbolt runing MR2 radio. I'm following this forum post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049542. I'm wiping data from the recovery mode. Also wiped Dalvik cache. After installing rom recovery mode and rebooting, it get stuck on the HTC white screen. It's been like 10+ minutes. Any ideas on how to get this installed? Do I need a special kernel, if so which one? Thanks!
fix
Got it fixed, nevermind.
For the benefit of others, the issue was that ClockworkMod (CWM)needed to be reflashed and updated. CWM wasn't wiping my data which caused CM7 not to work correctly. Flashing and updating CWM fixed this.

I have been searching for a while, but does anyone have issues installing Miui 1.7.8? I can get to CM7 and install GAPPS for it no problem. On CWM 4.0 I have been trying to install Miui from SD card after wiping data and both caches. When it tries to load Miui I get a boot loop with the exclamation mark and quickly written words that I can't decipher quickly. I read earlier about pulling battery in this instance, but that didn't help. I want to test out the phone.apk, but I'm having some issues.

For future use, if anyone is having issues like this...
1. Booted using volume controls to recovery 3.0 posted by JT in CM7.
2. Used the ext4 formatter_all from navenrob
3. Used the CM7 install from JT
4. Booted CM7
5. ReBooted recovery from CM7
6. Wiped Cache from CWM 4.0
7. Installed current verison of Miui from CWM 4.0
Thought I would post how I figured it out.

I was having problems flashing 1.7.8 too. I downloaded 1.7.1.3 from goo inside me. The site where you download the rom. I flashed that with no issues on red CWM. Then i booted and went to orange recovery from the power menu. Flashed 1.7.8 perfectly. Don't really know if this would solve the problem but its worth a shot.
I had to odin eb01 with atlas 2.2, odin cm recovery fix for cm7, flash cm7signed in red recovery, rebooted into orange recovery, reflash cm7signed, reboot into rom, reboot recovery, wipe, flash cm7 0704, reboot, wipe, flash miui. finally worked after much trial and error
I have flashed a few different roms trying to find one I like and have not had any issues until I flashed GTabComb.
I am not stuck in ClockworkMod (v3.0.2.8) (GTab 1.2). I can reboot the system but it just puts me back in recovery. I have tried flashing a rom that worked before, and wiping every partition, cache and factory reset. I have tried to reflash cwm but it fails.
I had a friend who is rather experienced in this stuff (hokansoc) suggest to me that it could be the flag is stuck that causes the bios to select recovery and that and adb reboot device might work. However I am having a very hard time getting the tegra drivers to work (if anyone has a good guide to that it would be appreciated).
As always, any help is appreciated. Thanks
Was able to apx->NVFlash->clockwork and reflash rom. Mods, feel free to close.
I just flashed the new CM7 ROM onto my Atrix. I was running the Dark Side ROM before the flash. I tried booting my phone up, it goes to the boot animation which runs for about 5 seconds, then reboots. Its cycled for 10 minutes. I pulled battery, reflashed, but the problem seems pretty persistent. Any Ideas?
it may be obvious but did you do the "3 wipes" before flashing CM7? also try "fastboot -w" if you've done wipes in recovery already before flashing
i am having a similar issue with the MOD 2 version of this rom, i was using my atrix with the hdmimirror.zip that i installed other than that the phone was just stock rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. now that i have flashed this rom ( doing all the necessary wipes and etc.) when i try to reboot i am stuck at the dual core screen. any thoughts?
Format the system partition, factory wipe/reset, wipe dalvik cache. Reboot into CWM and then go ahead and flash the ROM. That should hopefully make sure it's all clean before the install.
So i am running the viper rom and it runs awesome. But i really want to install different ROMs when when i use the recovery and back up everything and then reset everything and install the ROMs zip file, it says installed complete and then i reboot from the recovery. When it is booting, it goes to the white screen when HTC in green and then reboots? So it is in boot loop. Anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? if so that would be great thanks
If you are in a boot loop try checking the integrity of the ROM by running md5 checksum. Re download the rom then clear davlik cache and do a factory reset in Clockwork mod an then re install zip. Remember to get back into clock work mod you hold volume down as you boot the phone.

Sounds like a bad flash. If you are s-on, I recommend you use 4ext as your recovery since this takes care of improper kernel flashes which can cause boot loops. Actually, use it if you are s-off too .
Did you do a super wipe before flashing the new Rom? If not, flash a copy of Chad's super wipe before flashing the Rom.

I am using TWRP recovery right now. I had clockworkmod but it seemed to not work as well. Is there a link to 4ext recovery where i can download and flash it please? Hopefully that will work
Thanks to coal686 for the recovery link in his signature.
I am still stuck with putting a new Rom on my 3d, could anyone help? It still goes in bootloop and I have tried twrp, clockwork, and now 4ext. I factory reset and do what all the threads say but it won't get past the white screen with HTC on it. Then it reboots and does it over and over. Anyone help
well I was flashing MIUI V5 UNIVERSAL - v. 3.7.12 for the 3vo and it got stuck in a bootloop. to try and fix it I tried to restore a backup and that rom played a little of the boot animation but then gets stuck in a bootloop. I also tried to wipe/format everything but, that didn't work. If a logcat would help i would appreciate a link on how to do that without being able to boot. I can boot to 4ext recovery. The cause could be that while flashing I selected the file to flash, I selected a file that didn't finish downloading. Thanks in advance for any help
Also if it matters my original rom was negalite blurom.

I ran into your same problem today.
At the time my phone was on latest sprint firmware, ICS coolrom (latest rom and kernel) with hboot 1.58 unlocked s-off.
The steps I did preparing to install MIUI was
1) wipe data/factory reset from 4EXT
2) format all (except sdcard)
3) Install MIUI > chose mirage kernal
4) rebooted
after reboot it was stuck at the logo, at least I thought it was, let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Pulled the battery and tried steps 1-4 again.
Kept getting bootloop at that point. Boot splash -> logo -> reboot.
Next I tried flashing the latest mirage kernel from 4ext.
No luck, same issue.
Tried repeating steps 1-4 again.
No luck stuck in bootloop.
At that point I tried to run recovery from a backup I knew was working.
Wiped all data and format all -> selected recovery from 4ext.
Result: still boot loop.
At that point I tried changing bootloader to 1.58.58 jbear. and wiping/formatting all and trying recovery again from known working cool ics backup.
Result: still bootloop.
Switched back to 1.58 bootloader and tried fresh install of CoolICS rom. (I always wipe all data and format all before any rom change.)
Result: still bootloop.
At this point I was getting frustrated but I had an idea that the MIUI install when selecting mirage kernel may have messed up the partition size for the kernel since the mirage kernel states it must be flashed from the flash gui app first to resize the boot partition.
Next I downloaded pacman rom and attempted that install.
result: could not install due to wrong bootloader.
Next I downgraded bootloader to 1.50.50 jbear.
Wiped everything and retried pacman rom.
Install success, before starting the reboot from recovery, I received a message that the boot image has changed and will make a backup/format/flash the new boot image.
upon reboot I was able to successfully boot into pacman rom.
At that point I tried to wipe all again and install CoolICS rom again.
result: bootloop, but probably because of bootloader version. Did not fully test it as at this point I just wanted a working phone again and wanted to try out MIUI.
Rebooted to recovery and wiped everything again.
Installed MIUI using stock kernel option. This time on reboot I let it sit at the rom logo without touching anything. I think it restarted once on its own.
Result: Success. Phone working normally now. such a headache I am just leaving it as is for now.
