problems installing custom roms on to my phone!

[andrew92]

so i recently just rooted my phone and downloaded droid 2 boot strap and all that stuff. So i tried installing Fission Vanilla 1.2 yesterday. I downloaded the zip file and moved it to the root of my sd card. I used droid 2 bootstrap to reboot into recovery and tried installing it from a zip there. Every time it says that installation is complete i reboot my phone and nothing has changed.
Is there something that I didn't do or missing?

did you mount the system in the custom recovery?

 

[andrew92]

no i did not. how do you go about doing this?

Go here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/91760-droid-2-hacking-rom-install-class.html and read box 4

ok i mounted the system in system recovery and i re installed the rom.
After rebooting the phones just stuck on an android screen that just shines and it wont go past that. did i just possibly brick my phone?

 

[mwhartman]

I doubt it. Did you wipe the data and cache?

 

[andrew92]

no i didnt should i try and do that now? or just go back into a backup i made clear the data and cache and reinstall

 

[mwhartman]

Keep the backup.

In recovery do the wipe (data and cache) then reinstall the rom

im trying to reboot into recovery now but i cant get past the load screen. I tried pulling the battery and holding x while my phone reboots but it wont go past the android screen with a triangle with an exclamation point. Any suggestions?

 

[mwhartman]

It appears that you lost root. What did you use to root your phone?

 

[andrew92]

i used the one click root method. should i proceed to re root the phone?

 

[andrew92]

i used the one click root method from darkonion. should i try and re root my phone?

 

[mwhartman]

Yes! Sadly, the one click methods often lose root. Follow the link that I posted earlier.

Hey Andrew92, do you have the rom developers install instructions? because if you dont I can send them to you.

 

[andrew92]

I dont know what to do. My phone won't go past the loading screen and when i try rerooting my phone my computer can't find any devices plugged in. Is there any way for me to get out of this loophole?
