Device reboots into recovery after flashing CyanogenMod I'm retrying to install CyanogenMod in my cellphone after some time. I did the following:


  


I used the sideload method. Everything worked fine and I did precisely what is written in there. The problem now is that when I click on reboot system now, it reboots, turns the purple light on, vibrates and then get back to the recovery menu. The difference is that it returns to a different menu: The first menu was this:

Now it's showing the same menu with this background: That is, the same menu with the laid down Android mascot. I don't know what is happening.
How did you get to the cyanogen recovery?
Did you flash it from fastboot?  

Was the device bootloader unlocked?
(or) Did you go through some oem-unlock fastboot command?  

I suppose it is related to oem-unlocking. If the manufacturer chooses not to boot unsigned images on a locked bootloader, then this is the case. Many recent devices fall into this. In such case, you need to do oem-unlocking following the instructions from your device manufacturer and then install any custom roms.
