these are probably the worst phones ive seen for installing roms on. I wa slucky I only had the black screen, after that it went smooth.

Yes you can install froyo, read my post in the other thread in this section that adthebadd made.  My phone was 2.51 and im using froyo now and I can downgrade at any point. Just make sure you do it right

this happened to me after installing leaked froyo. had already used clockwork mod in eclair which worked a dream, but after froyo I got bricked so had to flash it RSD.

Maybe its down to the build of froyo cos I couldn't get into recovery like I could before. I'm now reluctant to try CWM again for it to fail, spent too long redownloading apps after reflash.

yeah ive has this problem installing CW. instead of using the the app to install it (which causes boot loop for me), i do it with a .bat file which does it through adb and that works every tiime for me!

Sorry I never updated you guys…

I managed to install 2.2 while keeping the ability to downgrade, installed launcher pro plus, overclocked to 1.3 GHz. WOW soooooo smooth.

Thanks for your help,

I am having the same issue with the defy, i had rooted it with superoneclick 1.7 and installed CW, booted to recovery and that was it. The phone was stuck in a bootloop never getting past the M. I have RSD 4.9 installed and flashed a supposedly working ROM for TMO US 6.36 version and get the phone to boot now, but get to the home screen and processes wont run, almost every time i touch the phone a process has to be forced to close, then get a black screen. I am at a loss other than running this phone thru a wood chipper, lol. i really would appreciate anyones help on straighting this mess out. also i have tried the other 6.10 us TMO Rom with no luck, all i get is a black screen. Back on 6.36 now.
thanks

edit: SOLVED! damn phone nothing like the HD2, needs magldr lol
