Updating CM7

Probably been asked many times before but i could'nt find it. So sorry off the top.
How do i update cyanogenmod without deleting all my apps and settings?

Just flash the newer zip in recovery.

So flashing the update keeps settings and apps in tact?

Yes. Nandroid JIC. Wipe cache and dalvik and just flash over.

Thanks a bunch fellas

After you flash the new CM zip, be sure to flash gapps (if you use it) and any other zips you've flashed. You won't lose your data (as long as you didn't wipe it), but you will lose any customizations that you flashed that write to /system (which would be most of them).

If you have already flashed gapps on an earlier version of CM and are just updating to a newer version of CM you do not have to flash gapps again. Just wipe cache and davlik and flash the update and kernel if you use a custom kernel and that's it.

Are you coming from a Sense based ROM?

While this does work, there have been some builds that cause gapps to need to be reflashed. Flashing gapps everytime doesn't hurt.

Mr. Shroom here's the situation...
My current rom is cm 7.0.2. im trying to flash 7.0.2.1 and keep my apps and settings in tact. Im trying to do this via rom manager. A step by step guide would be greatly appreciated.

Step 1: get rid of clockworkmod recovery (flash "alternate" Amon Ra using ROM manager)
Step 2: download 7.0.2.1 from one of the many mirrors
Step 3: (optional) move zip to root or folder such as 1roms
Step 4: reboot into recovery
Step 5: once in recovery make a nandroid backup
Step 6: flash new zip
Step 7: wipe cache and dalvic
Step 8: (optional) while in recovery go to other>fix apk uid mismatches
Step 9: Profit!

I've followed the steps you describe before, and I lost everything Google related -- my google contacts and calendars were gone. It wasn't an option to add it back until I re-flashed gapps.

simple. download 7.0.2.1.. wipe your cache.. make a backup if you desire..
and flash it.
no need to wipe your data if you're just upgrading CM

Got it done. Now i can go back to using my camcorder. Thanks for all the helpful replies.

[SOLVED] Defy can't get back to JB

See Page 4 for details on how I solved it.
In short I upgraded to BL7
OP:
Edit 30/1/2013 22:26GMT:
The current rom I am on (The Froyo mentioned below) has the following 'About Phone')

Hey all,
I'm stuck with my Defy (MB525 Red Lens).
I recently flashed an SBF which I then realised had a messed up CG version (too low or high or whatever)... I went to the AIO Defy Beginners guide as I remember seeing something there about this, and this is what I found.
Black Screens when booting up: (!) Tried to install a version of Android with a lower CG Version than the one currently on the phone.
Weird behavior after installing a Fixed SBF: Install a matching Nandroid backup with your SBF, and remember to clear Cache/Dalvik Cache using Recovery.
Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom: (!) aha! We have a issue here!, latest Stock Gingerbread full SBFs comes with a Version 5 of the CG, meaning until not long ago you were pretty much screwed. But wait, there is hope! A one kind Éclair has been found in China Defys that comes with Version 5 CG!.
How to fix it:
Method 1:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup << File is Back, thanks Ichibanme again!>>
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
I used the first method.
I have completed these parts (So I'm now on Froyo - the second SBF), however I can't seem to upgrade to Jellybean anymore.
I tried following these instructions to install JB from FroYo again, but once I have it installed I just get a black screen with a red LED. It hangs there, then returns to the red M logo.
I've tried taking the battery out for 5 minutes, and leaving it on that screen, but no luck.
Currently I'm again at the FroYo ROM, which is working for me, but I want my Jellybean back
Can anyone help me please?​​

You has flashed GB kernel and cannot revert to Froyo. From now one you must use the fixed sbf and flash the nandroid backup. After that you can install CM10.

pgreed I tried installing this, but it didn't work (including the nandroid backup)

Thanks for the reply.
"8. Flash this Fixed SBF"
What Fixed SBF (for CM10) should I use in place of this step?
Will "cm10Quarx.31.12+BM.tweaks.fixed.sbf" from this thread work?

Ahh, so you meant
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).
Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).
profit!

ah man you are fast
Do not wipe after flashing cm10 and gapps (just before), if you manage to come that far.I think that's the key.

OK What I did (from the rom with above specs):
Install EasyRecovery (Android Recovery 3e)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Install CM10 31st December 2012 build (CM10-20121231-NIGHTLY-mb526(last-in-2012))
Installed Gapps (gapps-jb-20121212-signed)
Reboot
Now I've got a bootloop between Red Motorola logo and Red LED with black screen :/
Going to try again from method 1, but install EasyRecovery instead of going to the second ROM
To do list:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9)
Install EasyRecovery from GoAPK.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM10+Gapps
Reboot

Don't forget also to wipe dalvik cache before you flash a custom ROM (CM10)!

But... you can't wipe dalvik with EasyRecovery :/
Options are:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard [this one allows installation of cm10 zip]
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Not worked by the way :/ now have the ECLAIR motorola logo...

I'm pretty sure that I couldn't install cm10 before wiping dalvik cache, coming from the stock ROM. I'd try that outdated system recovery. They didn't changed that step, so I think it should work.

Did you try format data to ext4 from boot menu in file system tools, you have to do it after flashing cm10
Also, for good measure you can try using the system wiper zip

I've tried the ext4 BEFORE flashing CM10... Damnit why didn't I try after =P haha.
I used a zip to wipe ext4 too... I'll give those a try, thanks

Try method 1 again, but use this newer version of 2nd init 2.0 instead of 1.4.3.
After that you could try this steps to install CM10 (copy/paste from FAQ):
For MB526 and PRE 2ndBoot Builds
1) Go to Custom Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to Install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash gb Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS).
5) Flash CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip.
6) Flash Gapps.
7) Flash Battery fix (only for red lens)
8) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
9) Restart.
Because you haven't suceed to install 2ndBoot release, try this one to see if it works.
You are a red lens user, so follow all the steps and see wat happens..

I've tried it with 2nd init v2.3, but I'll give 2.0 and those builds a go.
Thanks for helping. Really confusing me haha

Because you want to install the 4.3 is necessary to format data (do a factory reset) BEFORE! That can be done from TWRP or CWM.

Hi, you should at first update to latest nightly 4.1.2 in order to upgrade the recovery and then move to 4.3, both wiping data and cache before flashing each ROM.
1) Download latest 4.1.2 and 4.3 ( you find link to them in the OP posts of the rispective threads )
2) wipe cache/dalvik.
3) flash latest 4.1.2.
4) wipe cache/dalvik.
5) flash 4.3.
6) wipe cache/dalvik.
7) Reboot.
A better solution would be to wipe also "/data" (and /system) in step 4 using " defy ultimate wipe ":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818520.
So it would be:
1) Download latest 4.1.2 and 4.3 and defy ultimate wipe.
2) Reboot
3) Wipe cache/dalvik.
4) Flash latest 4.1.2.
5) wipe cache/dalvik.
6) Reboot
7) Reboot
7) Wipe everything (/system /data /cache /dalvik_cache) defy ultimate wipe ( DO NOT REBOOT BEFORE doing the next step )
8) Flash 4.3.
9) wipe cache/dalvik.
10) Reboot.

Got to say that I try using CM10.1 & CM10.2 in the last week,
I got the same device asyou and to tell the truth, the CM10 (android 4.1.1) is the best for our defy's!
works good, no crashes or any other problems...
If you still think of trying it - go to youtube and look for- defy install cm 10.2
take a look at some of the videos.. it will assist you.
good luck!

thanks for replys
I am using CM10.2 vor few days now, and quite satisfied.

Wiping data shouldn't take long at all. When people say wipe data/factory reset when changing roms it doesn't mean wipe the whole sd card. Do you have the latest recovery version? For CWM it is 6.0.3.6 or 6.0.3.7. For TWRP it is 2.6.3.0
The correct procedure is:
Wipe data/factory reset (NOT sd card)
Wipe cache/dalvik cache
Install Rom
Install Gapps
Install SU (optional)
Reboot

Redownload the ROM. Once you've downloaded just install it and wipe cache and dalvik and it should be fine.
Su, in full, Super SU is root made by Chainfire. The normal one in cm is made by Koush but you don't need to flash the Chainfire one, only do that if you have root problems

Hey there.So, I tried installing Miui 7 (weekly updated one) after following the steps accurately,but it says,failed to extract dir from system to system.I tried running it from both internal storage and external,and re-downloading it,but to no avail. Help please ?Oh, and I was running ED300's cm12.1 update 8 (now on update 10,which actually sucks very much)

Okay so I need more help. I think I'll also be flashing phantom kernel.after installing miui. Haven't started yet but will soon. The problem is that I'm a complete noob with kernels. So... What are the things I'm gonna have to do ? CM12.1 just keeps getting worse with each update .??

Just download the zip and flash it. And set the settings as mentioned in the phantom kernel post using Kernl Adiutor app.
