[Q] Nand Kernel Update fail, different kernel ?

Hey,
Booting from a TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ v2.5.0 with a rafpigna OC 1.8 kernel with a clockwork recovery of 135mb
and I want to UPDATE TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ v2.8.0 tytung r8 kernel without a clean install.
My steps were:
1. Flash Clockwork recovery with 200mb through DAF.exe and USB Flasher thru bootloader (necessary for TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2)
2. Back up my settings with CWR.
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik
5. Install from ZIP from SD card and choose TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2 zip.
6. update finishes
7. reboot system
8. Nand Kernel update fail
I used several downloads from the ROM, tried with usb cable and with usb card
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
- Is it because I'm trying to update with a different kernel => If so, how can I change my kernel, searched for it but couldn't find it.
Anyway thanks, I'm still learning here

Save all the files from you SD to your computer, then format the SD card. Try formatting your SD Card first. Your CWM backups will be on your SD Card.
If that alone dont work do:
REMOVE SD CARD
1. Task 29
2. Install MAGLDR 1.13
3. Flash your 200mb partition
PUT SD BACK IN PHONE
4. Install your zip build
When you are done run through setup reboot into CWM and advanced restore data only.

[Q] Will CM7 nightly update Phiremod V7TEST2?

Do I need to wipe emmc and start over if I want get rid of Phiremod V7 Test 2?
I nooob-believed that Phiremod was the only option for my NC when I followed a tutorial. On internal EMMC I started with PM 6.3, then V7TEST1 and now I'm at 7TEST2, running update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-063011 kernel. I undervolt and overclock to 1200Mhz. I don't have a lot of apps but if I had to start over it would probably take me a full day to get my config back.
I'd like to get away from Phiremod and onto the CM7 nightlies.
Do I need to wipe emmc and start over if I want get rid of Phiremod V7 Test 2?
I guess I'll just take Titanium backups of everything, do a nandroid backup of emmc, and try the latest nightly laid over Phiremod V7 Test 2 and wipe caches. The worst that can happen is that I need to start fresh on the latest CM7 nightly. It'll be interesting to see if the latest CM7 nightly installs over Phiremod V7TEST2.
Cheers.

I am pretty sure you cannot go from Phiremod to CM7 Nightlies.
As I recall he mentions that in his posts.
IMHO - spend the extra time and go with CM7 Nightlies.

success updating phiremod test2 with cm7 nightly 165
I was bored and grabbed cm7 nightly 165, booted into cwm recovery, flashed 165 and gapps, formatted cache and dalvik, rebooted, removed and added Google account, reinstalled launcher pro, restored LP data from titanium, and so far I'm stable on 165. So yes, you can go from phiremod to cm7 and keep apps. I only wish I had a more current titbackup. I even kept my setcpu profiles.

Problems with CM9 on Red lens Defy

-Solved btw-
Hey all. I've just tried installing CM9 using the instructions HERE.
I used the second options..
How To Flash ICS(Defy Builds)
1:Head Over To Stable recovery
2:Wipe Data
3:Install ZIp from SD Card
4:Select ICS(Defy) .zip
5:Flash
6:Flash Gapps and CM7 Kernel
7:Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache

I used the most recent CM9 rom from here.
(CM9-NIGHTLY-120319-Defy.zip 19-Mar-2012 23:15 104M )
I got my kernels from this thread. I've tried both CM7 (2.2 kernel) and CM9 (2.3 kernel). With the CM7 2.2 Kernel, I get stuck on the "Motorola" logo, and with CM9 2.3 kernel I get stuck on the CM9 boot logo (1 hour + now)
From the FAQ thread I found this (below), but as I said I've tried both kernels.
FAQ:
Q: I installed 08/12 build(or newer), but it gets stuck at the CM boot logo. What do I do?
07/12 contains the required 2.3 kernel. 08/12 and newer do not. If you have installed 08/12 or newer, enter recovery and flash the 2.3 kernel, then reboot. This applies only to Defy owners; Defy+ owners already have 2.3 stock ROM and kernel, so they do not need to apply the kernel.
In fact, the kernel zip for Defy owners is the kernel from Defy+.

I've tried everything I can think of. Can anyone help?

Hi,
Can you also provide the following info:
Which ROM did you have as stock?(Was it a froyo kernel or GB kernel as stock)
If you already had GB ROM in your phone you don't need the kernels to be installed!

It was a Froyo kernel

He's right. U don't have to flash a kernel if u were on froyo (2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8). Just make a wipe after installing the cm9 rom.
U only have to pick the right version. There are froyo-cm9 builds and GB-cm9 builds (so if u are on GB-kernel right now, take a GB-Build).
Or try the "codename android 1.5.5"... (froyo-kernel!) it's ported from the nexus
I'm testing this rom right now and for me it's working much better than cm9 builds.
Greetz

I recieved a pm suggesting installing cm7 then cm9 over, but more bootloop..
Sent from my Huawei_8100-9 using XDA

Oh, its a cm7 bootloop now by the way, forgot to mention that

Well, I think there is no need to flash cm7 before? (I didn't and it worked, correct me if I talk bull****)
Try to install the zip, and AFTER that make a wipe (do not boot in system after installing, first the wipe than boot!)
Is it a quark or epsy? When I flashed the epsy over quark I had big problems so I had to start again.

I have no idea if it's Quark or Epsy :S

Hi,
Well you are correct you do not need to flash CM9 above CM7! it's Quark or Epsy do not matter. What matters is the kernel! If you have a Defy+ or stock GB use the CMs for Defy+(preferably Quarx's because they are more updated and he is the only dev with a Defy+) and don't flash any extra kernels. If you have Defy or Froyo kernel then use CMs for Defy. Always remember two golden rules after flashing ROMs:
1.) Wipe data.
2.) Wipe Dalvik.
In fact even after or before a full SBF you may not be able to boot until you do a data wipe from stock recovery! (Seen that in some cases and in mine case too!) ....

What I usually do when installing roms is this:
-Enter Stable Recovery
-Factory reset & clear data
-Install Zip from SD Card (Defy CM9.zip)
-Wipe cache
-Wipe dalvik cache.
So I need to do a Factory reset & data wipe in stock before flashing CM9?

I've managed to get the CM9-NIGHTLY-120112-Defy+.zip rom working from here.
I installed the CM7 kernel, then the CM9 kernel ontop of that, then installed gapps, and wiped cache/dalvik. (though I'm not sure wiping dalvik worked, as when I clicked it it just refreshed, didn't give me the option to confirm that I want to wipe dalvik)
However, this doesn't have any mobile network, and a lot of settings options are missing..
I'm still trying to get the CM9-NIGHTLY-120319-Defy.zip rom working from here working, but it's stuck on the bootloop.
If I try the baseband switcher in-rom then it asks me to restart, and then once it has restarted it goes back to factory settings (the welcome screen to set up the "new" phone)

For CM9 you can do a data wipe from CWm itself, don't do from stock. Only if you do a full SBF flash do a data wipe from stock. And the CM9 you are using is toooo old!!! Quarx's CM9 for Defy+ are much newer! So try that here . 17th March is the latest one. That should run fine.. Worked great for me..
Hey I see once you were using CM for Defy(Dint work for you as you got bootloop) and next moment you were trying CM9 for Defy+(which worked) !!! :O First be sure which kernel you have in your original ROM(flashed SBF)!!

I eventually decided to flash a froyo SBF (2.2.2), and flashed CM9 Defy from here. Suggested to me by Pottkopp.
I didn't flash any kernel and it worked fine.
Also installed Pottkopp's AIO.
So, all solved

Can someone help me?
Ok!
So i have green lensed defy. I already had CM9 installed( installed it using normal procedure). So i decided i will return to stock, by recovering backup. So i did. After a while on stock, i decided to go back to CM9. I forgot to do factory reset, and after install wipe chache and dalvik.I booted phone, and entered requesting data. I after that got back to recovery and did factory reset via custom recovery, and installed it again using correct method. My phone seems a bit slower than before, and did i damaged my phone?

[Q] Downgrade CM9 ?

Hello everybody, I recently decided to try CM9 after months with CM7,
Well, I didnt like... too many bugs for me.
I want to go back to Cm7 but i think I read somewhere that downgrades are tricky...
I flashed my phone a lot of times, got the bootloader and everything but is it exactly the same as any other rom ? Just copy files to sd card,
Clear all caches > update zip from sdcard -> etc etc ?

That's depends, do you have a Defy+ or Defy?, which CM9 kernel based did you flashed??, always keep in mind that Defy+ has GB Kernel and Defy Froyo Kernel, it means that the stock ROM comes with that Kernel version, so, if you flashed a CM9 GB kernel for Defy+ in your Defy/Defy+ you must flash the CM7 with GB Kernel or you can flash the Kernel via a CWM zip and then flash the CM7 which uses the Kernel you flashed, ALWAYS the kernel you have installed and the kernel that the ROM uses must be the SAME!
Good hacking!

Just do a data wipe > flash the CM7 you were using(or may try a new one) > boot to recovery > data,cache and dalvik wipe. Reboot. I think that should suffice!

I didnt flash any kernel m8, I got normal Defy...
I was told that if I got a CM7 before I just need to flash CM9 Froyo without any kernel (seems right as it worked).

Yes,in that case, do what pranks1989 says

Ty all, just charging my Defy to 100% and then I will try the new CM7.2

I'm using the 31 dec version of CM7.2, is great!

[Q] How to downgrade from CM11 back to CM7.2 (Reincarnation ROM) without ODIN ?

So guys I installed the CM11 KK Rom by Psyche almost a month ago,
And it's great! [emoji6]
But the problem is,
1)I messed up with the GAPPS and can't restore it without format
2)I want CM7.2 back because of various reasons. [emoji28]
So,
As the title says,
How do I downgrade back to CM7.2 without Odin??
I had tried once, but got SD Mounting issues. [emoji29]
Any help is appreciated! [emoji6] [emoji106]

Just flash the cm7 bieltv3 kernel in cwm with system mounted
Reboot to recovery
Format system data cache
Mount system data cache
Flash cm7 rom zip
Restart

Have you tried it bro??
Didn't get any SD Card Mounting issues??

With the cm7 by bieltv3 - not a port or a themed version of its base
I went back & forth between cm11 & cm7 when I was testing
Never had any problems

Bro i just tried the first two steps,
I.e - Mounted System and all other partitions,
Flashed the CM specific kernel and rebooted into recovery.
But the kernel didn't chance and i'm still on CM11 kernel.
Nothing happened.
Please help.

Flashed fine with me
You can always try flashing hells fusion #50 first - its a stock based kernel but supports ext so you can flash that then a stock based rom or then try flashing bieltv3 kernel
If all else fails you will need to use odin

Tysm for the help bro...

yeah actually this happened to me too at earlier stages i mean months ago..weirdly that *kernel not changing* problem is with only with cwm 6.0.5.3 ( which is necessery at this stage ) and not with earliest version of 6.0.5.0..i would stongly recommend you to flash stock via odin then cm7 to get back cuz if bu any chance you could get to cm7 kernel directly from cm11 one , you would keep getting problems with mounting data or getting 0 mb space etc...thats what i experienced..
press thanks if i helped
