cant get CWR to work from boot

[knic1590]

I have had a rooted DX and it was running Gummy Jar and I wanted to try something new so I went to APEX 2.0 RC2. when doing this I got stuck at the Google screen, I could only get into stock recovery so I had to SBF and got into 2.2.1 then rooted again and got a bootstrap and could get into Clock Work Recovery via clicking the button in the app. I installed the Apex 2.0 RC 1 because of my issue. I got the same result I was stuck on the Google screen an couldn't get into Clock Work Recovery, I tried 4 or 5 different ways. So i went ahead and SBF again, no i am on 2.2.1 rooted again but am afraid to try and flash over a new Rom because SBFing is such a pain. Thanks

Apex 2.0 is a Gingerbread ROM, and you're on Froyo, which is why you bricked. Root again and if you want to try Apex, update to .596 first, then install Apex.

what does that mean update to .596? i saw that in the description for RC.2.0 and thought I would give RC 1.0 a try hence why i have that problem. But I am on 2.2.1 and am rooted, i am uncertain to what to do from here since this is the first time i have rooted using gingerbread Do i find a random rom that says it is .596 from the point where I am now? I see in rom manager DrewGarens 2.3.3.596, should I try that?

No, .596 is the last three numbers for the system version of Gingerbread, Froyo's is .340, you can check this by going into settings > about phone. That means that Apex 2.0 can only be installed from Gingerbread.

Here's the link for .596, since you're on Froyo, you'll want parts 1 and 2. Download those, install them in CWR sequentially, then reboot. After you successfully boot into Gingerbread, then you can install Apex 2.0

If you want to go a different route, you can also try CM7 based ROMs which you can install in the state you're in now.

I followed the directions too a T and they worked I am currently on a signed copy of Gingerbread.When I installed Apex 2.0 and I get stuck in a boot loop. I had to sbf yet again because I couldn't get to CWR. I would like too know what my problem is I cant figure it out its not making sense.
