[Q]": DEFY+ BL7 Rooted .. now what for CM7.2

I have successfully rooted my DEFY+ (BL7, build 4.5.1-134_DFP-231) using this post
I got root and have the 2nd-init apk in my phone. I installed the stable for Cm version of bootloader, and tried to install CM7.2 nightly from 27th Jan (here). but after reboot, it went to a bootloop.
For now, I have reflashed the original sfbs in the first link and restored to stock.
Now, can anyone detail me the steps from installing the 2nd-init to geting the CM7.2 live on my phone please..
PS: I don't mind buying a beer or two for the help

Try flashing cm72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip by Quarx. Just root your phone again, install 2nd-init 2.0, chose LATEST and then flash the above build, without flashing kernels. Remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache before flashing CM7.2 and cache and dalvik after that.

Thanks Auris! I am already rooted now. So below are the steps I should take: ?
1. Install 2nd-init. Choose latest.
2. Reboot, it will go to 2nd-init menu.
3. Choose recovery--custom recovery
4. Wipe data, cache & dalvik cache
5. Install the Quarx Build you linked
6. Install Gapps
7. Wipe Cache & Dalvik cache
8. Reboot
9. In 2nd-init menu, choose 2nd-init boot
Is that all? Please let me know if I missed anything

Got around to doing it today and guess what? The Defy+ is so much smooth on CM7 without the bloatware..
Auris.. you have a paypal id?

Small Success Story

I was on with Kingdroid V2.0 with S3 addon. Kernel Speedmod#3.3.
I flashed Criskelo V7 as follows- None of the steps belongs to me-All gathered from this forum, thanks to concerned member/s.
1- download AbyssNote kernel 4.2 (for CWM), Criskelo V7.ROM in SdCard
2- reboot to recovery mode and install AbyssNote V4.2 original touch
3- don't leave recovery , Go back to advanced then reboot recovery
NOW THIS IS TOUCH SCREEN ONLY (buttons will not work)
4- wipe data/factory reset…yes--delete all user data
5- wipe cache partition…yes--wipe cache
6- go to advanced and wipe dalvik Cache…yes--wipe dalvik cache
7- Go back
8- go mount and storage
9- format /cache…yes--format
10- format /system…yes--format
11- format /data…yes--format
12- Go back
Now Flash Criskelo V7 Rom
After installation completed, the phone automatically rebooted into CriskeloRom. Working Nice. About the Phone-Build Number IML74K.XXLQ3 Kernel [email protected]#3.Rom Version CriskeloRom Note ICSv07.
Now I would like to know whether shall I keep this kernel or flash kernel speedmod #3.3 over this kenel. suggestions are appriciated.

Ask the dev which kernel it is.
I think it probably is CF Root kernel.

[Q] No Baseband sometimes?

Hi usually change roms and kernels i do everything steps correctly but sometimes when it starts from zero it appears no simcard no baseband.
so i must reflash again factory image from google via fastboot so it's so annoying.
for example i wipe factory reset / data / dalvik i install .zip rom . zip gapps .zip kernel and reboot
im in the latest CWM and it happens to me now when i did a wipe cache and dalvik.
thank you

[Q] Can't upgrade JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf

Hi, my Defy (Green Camera) is stuck on JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf - strange chineese Eclair ROM - screenshot here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27590063&postcount=4.
I installed it after my battery died during updating Cyanogen to newer version - I panicked a bit and needed working phone asap, so I used mcGyver hack and flashed it with RSD Lite as I found in some guide.
Now I want to install any better system on top of it (it's real crap - all google apps crashes immediately for example) Cyanogen 10+ would be best.
There are some similar threads, but they wanted to downgrade system, not upgrade.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143 - I didn't tried it yet as download pages
looks suspicious. //edit: downloading it, but it's really slow.

What I tried to do so far is:
I. Rooting phone with SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse
II. Installing SndInitDefy_1.4_2.apk
III. One of following:
a)
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 cm-10-20131030-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
6) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again
7) Restart.
It didn't boot in 10 minutes (Motorola logo) so I flashed sbf again and returned to I.
b)
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 froyo kernel
5) Flash CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again
8) Restart.
It didn't boot in 10 minutes (Motorola logo) so I flashed sbf again and returned to I.
c)

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 froyo kernel
5) Flash cm-72-20120921-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart
It didn't boot in 10 minutes (Motorola logo).
I also tried some other Quarx builds, some times with gapps and RLRv2.16_base.zip but I don't remember details.
Any ideas what can I do? Now i'm trying downloading various roms and trying to install them with recovery.
EDIT:
Now I have DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf which works, but I cant root it - zerg rush fails

Well.. After I flash something I don't wipe cache and dalvik , this maybe should be the problem..Before I install something I do a data/factory reset , wipe cache , and then wipe dalvik. You should try after you install something don't wipe cache and dalvik..

OK, i fixed it.
With DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956 i got root, after that i installed SndInitDefy_2.3.apk and was able to flash CM10.

Unable to flash Hyperion X

I am a noob and just an android enthusiast. All the Galaxy Y roms I had used earlier were stock based. I decided to give Hyperion X a try and I followed the following steps for flashing-
1) Flashed stock ROM
2) Rooted the phone
3) Went into Samsung recovery. Flashed CWM 5.0.2.8
4) Mounted data sytem cache
5) Flashed ext4formatter
6) Without going back to cwm again directly flashed sir nvsetup's kernel
7)Then went back to cwm>advanced>reboot recovery
8) Then formatted data system cache
9) Wiped battery stats and dalvik cache
10) Mounted system data cache sdcard
11) Flashed Hyperion X
12) Flashed gapps
Every time I ended up on a bootloop ( I have tried flashing 4 times :crying: ) Please tell me where I went wrong.

For those who can't install the rom properly you can follow this guide:
-Flash Stock Rom via odin (If you're on stockrom skip this step)
-Flash CWM recovery using stock recovery (v.6.0.1.2 or 5.0.2.8)
-After flashing cwm recovery mount System,Data,Cache
-Flash Cm Specific Kernel
-After flashing cm kernel go back and mount System,Data,Cache
-Flash EXT4 formatter
-After flashing go to advance and recovery and REBOOT RECOVERY
-Now you're on the recovery again now mount System, Data,Cache
-Wipe S,D,C
-Mount S,D,C
-Flash the rom file or zip
-Go back Mount S,D,C
-Flash G-apps
-Reboot Now (Wait for it it takes time to boot the rom )
-Sorry for a long guide it's only for those who cannot understand the instructions given to flash the rom
