I got froyo installed fine but when i reboot my phone it gets stuck @ the motorola logo and does not load up the rest of the way but if i pull the battery and try again it starts up fine anybody else having this problem or know how to fix it thanks
 
nah i have the same problem and i did install teenfaces black taskbar for 2.2 but this was happening before that. i can still boot up but i have to let it sit at the M logo for a moment after a power on and off or terminal reboot and then do a battery pull..
 
yeah I ran into the same problem last night. I did a reboot and it stuck on M logo... i was a little worried at first so I gave it like 10 minutes then pulled the battery, it booted up fine after that. Im worried to try a reboot again... So, I wont reboot unless I have to.

Hey, do you have a link to where you got the black bar for 2.2 from? I've been looking to get it back. I had fab's from the nextheme and loved it.
 
This happened to me as well. Battery pull consistently allowed boot. May be coincidence, but it fixed itself after I downloaded koush's latest bootstrap and I granted out root access.

did you actually install the bootstrap again or just the apk? and can you still boot into recovery after 2.2 is installed? I'm scared to try haha
 
Ok, so I tried another "soft reboot" (power off then power back on) and got stuck on the M logo again... Tried a battery pull, no help. Still stuck on the M... So I had to pull the battery again, then turn on holding power and home buttons. Then clicked on the reboot phone option. That lets me boot up right. Anyone have an idea of what may be wrong?
And thanks for the link to the black status bar!
 
Further information so maybe I can get some help... I get this on the bottom of the recovery screen when I reboot it into recover

E: Cant Open /cache/recovery/command

Anyone have any clues for me?

does it affect what you are able to do, is there something that you can't do

yeah. I cant just turn my phone off then back on. I have to start my phone by pressing the home and power button, then click on reboot phone.

If I dont start it this way I just get stuck on the moto logo on the boot up

well unless you want to do a fresh install of 2.2, I would just say wait it out until custom roms or vanilla 2.2 come out and see what happens then. Because that will give you a new system

ok... was there something I did wrong with the install then? I'm just trying to find out what this issue is and what caused it thats all... If theres a fix, great, if not, well that kinda blows but atleast my phone still works ya know? I wasnt planning on installing any custom roms or vanilla 2.2, I only installed this to get the version of 2.2 running before the offical release from verizon comes (cause im impatient)

come on how could you not want custom roms and kernels. I don't think you did anything wrong though.
 
I had the same problem. I didn't edit any files. I also got the E: Cant Open /cache/recovery/command

Looks like it restarts fine sometimes. I had to pull the battery twice, but since then it does fine.

It seems that I'm experiencing EVERY single bug with 2.2 which sucks. With my old Droid I used to be the guy that had no problems with anything.
 
I had the same problem so I decided to flash it again, going through the routine of getting stuck in the boot loop, pulling the battery, doing the factory reset, and then rebooting into 2.1. Rather than install 2.2 at that point I flashed it a second time, which was completed (100% - Done) and it booted directly into 2.1. Since installing 2.2 I have yet to have any bugs pop up, this could be a coincidence but who knows.
 
I should also note that I had kouchs bootstrapper installed and used the link I was givin to get his 2.2 update that was rooted already (I was also already rooted)

Yeah Im thinking about flashing back to 2.1 but I think I'm gonna need a detailed step by step on how to do that... I'm a little worried on trying it by myself. Would that get rid of bootstrapper too?
 
I was able to reboot past that by using adb reboot bootloader however that had to be done EACH time. I went back to SBF, honestly the leak is jacked.
 
I got the "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" error message as the first line when applying the update.zip file when upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2. However, I never have had any problems booting the phone and I've been using the 2.2 update for a couple of days now without issue (except for the force close when viewing the battery icon info). So I'm not sure if that error message is the directly related to your boot problem.
 
I read the forum and I'm having the same problems. I'm running a DX 2.2 rooted. Everything works great except for rebooting. It gets stuck at the "M" every time. A battery pull fixes this and it boots up fine. I also get the "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command" not really too concerned about this but would love to getting it rebooting without a battery pull. reading the forum I didn't see any fixes for this or did I miss something?
