Abort sector 7 something like that.
Then I was stuck at the bootlogo.
6 factory wipes still would not go past the logo.
I was running 595 odexed root.
Anyway I had to sbf back to froyo.
Now that im stock 2.3.34 froyo just going to wait for the ota.
New phone on the 15th anyway.
Peace everyone

This happened to me too, how do I fix this? I was originally on .591 deodexed. I through the .595 stock zip on my sd card, booted into D2 bootstrap. Wiped everything even the dalvik cache. It started installing than I got sector 7 error like above, whenever I tried to reboot I just got stuck at the M logo so I had to SBF back to .340 stock.

How the hell do I get from here to .595, If I got through all this again and then have SBF back to .340 I'll be pissed. Can I just flash to 588 and then flash 591? no wipe needed?

You're on .340 right now?

Do as below. Skip step 3.

To get to Gingerbread .595 (the most recent leak), you need to start with stock .340.

Step by step if you want to get to the newest Gingerbread:

1. Download z4root (here), Droid 2 Bootstrap (here), the 3 parts of the .588 install (here), and .595 (here I recommend deodexed, because people have been having major bootloop problems with the odexed one) and put them all onto your SD card.
2. Backup your files and whatnot from your current build however you usually do. I did a TiBU of all of my user apps+data as well as my user dictionary. Also did a backup of my call log using "call log backup and restore"
3. get to .340 stock either via SBF (instructions here) or maderstcok (instructions here). If you are on a Froyo ROM either will work. If you are NOT on a froyo-based ROM, you need to use the SBF.
(3.5) Once you get to stock and boot for the first time, you can skip reauthenticating your phone by just touching all four corners of the screen with the android on it when you boot up in clockwise order, starting with the upper left. This is optional, just saves a few minutes fiddling with settings.
4. Install z4root and root with it.
5. install droid 2 bootstrap, bootstrap recovery, reboot into recovery, wipe data/cache, and install all 3 parts of .588, sequentially. You must install all 3 before you leave recovery. Wipe data/cache again here. (Yes, you're wiping it a lot when there shouldn't be anything on there, but its the easiest way to avoid bootloops)
6. Install .595
7. At this point I'd reboot, reinstall droid 2 bootstrap, and do a quick backup of the clean GB install. then i'd start restoring everything I backed up from step I.

Note: This will make it so you will need to flash .595 stock odexed before you could take the OTA. Since you will already be on .595 though, you will have no trouble porting all data over, and it will take 2 sec to get ready when the OTA comes out.

Edit: Also, if you have a nandroid from when you were on gingerbread (not froyo) before, you can get to .595 and just advanced restore the data you had. Saves some trouble.
