hello,
is it possible to switch from cm7.1-nightly to ms2ginger easily?
(cm7.1 is android v. 2.3.7 with kernel 2.32.9)
regards
Yes you can do that easily. The ms2Ginger thread has enough information on how to do that. I have switched twice from Cm7 to ms2g and vice versa.
In a nut shell just restore the manseoid back up of ms2g system, data, boot , dev tree and recovery. Before you do this just take nandroid backup of your current cm 7, which can be useful to switch back at later time if needed.

CM7.2 is for Defy+ which uses GB kernel.
You can either flash CM7 kernel if it works, otherwise go to advance restore and restore boot and devtree from MS2 nandroid.
hey guyz need some help here.i own a defy+. i dont noe why but when i tried to install the walter9 MS2Ginger over the CM7.2,i got the bootloader err msg and the phone wouldnt startup.then i flashed the 2.3.6 sbf file via rsdlite and phn was back to its original working condition.then i rooted it again and then again tried MS2Ginger but after installation in recovery it asks for reboot.and after reboot, i got the same error saying

I am searching for the instructions too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468867&page=2
Will work the ms2ginger with cg version 6?
Anyone?
I had managed to get working, with instruction in the ms2ginger topic
To begin:
Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk
REBOOT
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
wipe data and cache in "Stable/Custom - Recovery"
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Latest Recovery"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Restore" (system+data)
reboot.
Booting up can take a while, max is about 10 minutes.
THEN(if you want to try also the 3.0)
wipe data/cache/dalvik; Do an advanced recovery and only restore system and data from 3.0NG.
Hi, i have defy+ (mb526)

I want to flash CM 7.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445259) but after flash rom, I stuck on boot logo, i wait 30minut, reboot, wait, reboot... but without succes.
You must delete the user data of your previous rom first. Go to CWM Recovery and choose 'wipe data/factory reset'. This will remove all your user data (apps, app data, settings etc.) so you should have a backup if you want to keep the data!
i try this, but without succes. I'am still on boot logo (google) :-(
Dobre den,
There is something wrong in your phone setting : the kernel you mention in your first post (2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8) is a Froyo kernel and your phone (MB526) has a GB bootloader who only accept GB kernel...
So I think the best for you is to flash a full GB SBF via RSDLite before flashing the CM 7.2 Defy+.
Nashle...;-)
This has happened to me... A LOT. the way i fixed it was to redownload CM7 from the pc, because something went wrong the first time.

Your phone is a Defy or a Defy+ ? because I'm not sure you help a lot with this kind of answers.
Thanx, after flash ful SBF GB via RSDlite, everything is OK
I have q defy, however the filestructure is almost exactly the same and a fresh install of anything is the key (usually) to fix any problem... therefore I tend to ask them to do that before anything else

stuck on bootlogo
i have defy+ (stock 2.3.6 - 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321)
rooted & flashed Quarx's 3 Mach ICS CM9 nightly..
i tried to update that but i guess i flashed some wrong zip in recovery & phone showed some bootloader error..
so i flashed full sbf via RSDlite to return to my stock rom..after flashing is complete, rsdlite reboots my phone, phone is stuck on motorola bootlogo & rsdlite shows "please manually powerup this phone"..still connected to usb..even when i disconnect phone from usb, phone keeps rebooting & stuck on bootlogo..
update
clearing data/cache in stock recovery solved the problem..back on CM9
Hello.
I have installed the Defy Red Len CM10 Nightly Build.
I know there is a 2nd boot nightly build which provided a better solution than the non 2nd boot build
Can anyone provide a step guideline to upgrade / flash installation to the 2nd boot nightly build?
Thanks a lot

Here you go
if upgrading from previous CM10 builds:
1) Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
2)Flash Rom
3)Flash Gapps
4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot
and if coming from different builds(like CM7,CM9 etc)
1)Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik
2)Flash Rom
3)Flash Gapps
4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot
Hope this helps you and ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING NEW ROM.
Thanks a lot. It works
Do you know how to the url for the Check update repo for 2nd boot build?
if you have CM10 from 24.09. and want jump to new kernel by Quarx you don't have to flash gapps ,in the other side yes you have to ,i recommended minimal gapps
yep¡ whit out gapss, for me works like a charm... the new build is 21.10

Does anyone know whether this build works on a MB525 with green lense as well, and can confirm that this is one build for 525 green and red lenses as well as for MB526 ?
Greetz.
I own a MB525, red lens, and I am using CM10 by Quarx (Sep 12th). So I just have to:
1) Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
2)Flash Rom
3)Flash Gapps
4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot
And, in today's release, then the update?
What about the kernel? Which one, and when? Thanks
EDIT: Oh, is it incluided in the ROM file now? Sorry, I don't quite understand what the differences are between classic CM10 nightlies and CM10 2ndboot nightlies (I know something about the custom kernel, but haven't found much information exclusively about it).
Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
I just followed these steps and now can't boot. I am able to enter the boot menu, but custom recovery just brings me back to the main menu, stable recovery does the same thing and stock recovery brings me to an android with a exclamation point in a triangle.
In fact anything I tap just brings me back to the main menu except boot and reboot.
Any ideas?
so the usual wipe and flash rom works even for earlier cm10 builds? i thought there was more than that (to install new custom rom.. flash some other files as well etc).. just making sure..
can u tell me the advantages? faster? more battery life? ........
General rulez to upgrade from CM10 24.09. to new qkernel :
1. Wipe's all data/cache/dalvik
2. install zip the newest/upgrede v4 from 27.10.
3. install gapps (all or minimal ) (the same gapps as 24.09. version)
4. do wipe's but only cache and dalvik
5. reboot
it's all enjoy
Question:
Whats the difference between 2nd boot builds and "non"2nd boot builds?
the new kernel gives as new possibility ,i can tell you technical staff ,but i use ROM before and after and i think that 2nd boot is faster and more stabile
Hi.
I'd like to upgrade to upgrade my Motorola Defy+ MB526 from Quarx CM10 24-09 (non-2ndboot) to 27.10 (2ndboot), but I'm not really sure of the steps. So I have to:
Open Stable Recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik and Data
Install zip from sdcard - 18.10 2ndboot build for MB526
Install zip from sdcard - update_for_18.10_v4.zip
Install zip from sdcard - gapps
Reboot
Is that right?
EDIT: Worked, done the following:
- Start Stable Recovery (of last Quarx non-2ndboot ROM)
- Backup all (Nandroid)
- Wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- install zip from sdcard -> 2ndboot ROM>100MB.zip
- install zip from sdcard -> update_for_xxxx_vx.zip
- install zip from sdcard -> GAPPS (I used PicoTTS (all))
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- exit recovery
- shutdown
- Start Bootmenu
- shutdown
- Power on
- After first boot it rebooted but then it booted 2ndboot ROM perfectly.
Why is it that it should be shut down and restarted twice? Any particular reason?

do this:
goto recovery,
choose stable recovery>wipe data>wipe cache>advanced>wipe dalvik
than flash http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
wipe cache and dalvik again
now flash http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/update_for_18.10_v4.zip
wipe cache and dalvik again.
and reboot
it should boot normaly,if not,than remove battery,and reinsert it after 10 mins,
first boot will take a little time,so dont worry.
if it boots perfectly than u can go into the recovery again and install gapps :good:
..
I normally updated CM9 to CM10 i dont wiped the data just cashes and then i updated to 2ndboot , Its like you instal a new rom from any kind , just you dont wipe the data . This worked for me....

Well, u mean no blue LED during boot after flashing 18/10?
If so what do u mean ' i have replace my system/bootmenut/recovery into the old one that i back up before'? Why have u done it? How u did it?
And what was your parent system?
Which working custom ROM u had?
BTW: 18/10 is 2ndboot, not 2ndinit ROM

Sorry sir I dont really understand what is 18/10 2ndboot or 2nd init room, I just flash the latest rom from quarx and there was an information about 2ndboot or something
I mean sir i had successfully flash from 24/09 cm10 quarx (this rom doesnt have an information about 2nd boot) into 18/10 CM10 Quarx (CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip and update_for_18.10_v4.zip) , all is working fine but the recovery room is in trouble, i cant enter there, always come back to normal start.
I heard from my friend u can fix the recovery room by copy the old system/bootmenu/recovery and replace it using root explorer, then your recovery room will be working again. I had done that but not working at all, I still cant enter recovery room.
is there any way to recover/fix my recovery room ??
Thank you

Miss here before and after flashing to wipe dalvik cache? Before recovering nandroid you have to wipe data and cache 1st
Reboot into recovery doesn't work in latest quarx release (custom kernel). This is a known issue. Press volume down on blue led as mentioned above.
i didn't do wipe dalvik cache after flashing. because before flashing i had wipe dalvik cache before .. is this a mistake ???
I had tried normal recovery by pressing volume down + power button, and there's no LED blue button ...
is there anything that I can do to fix this

Look, to get it into recovery do these steps:
1: Turn on the phone
2: Pay attention to the notifications LED (the one to the left of your front speaker and the Motorola logo)
3: When it light up in Blue, press the Volume Down button (FAST!)
4: Voila, you are in recovery.
These are pretty basic steps that you should know before trying to flash anything on your device.
There's a great starter guide on the General section, I would suggest you to read that.

The "Reboot into Recovery" mode is not working due to the mandatory 2nd-boot setting in CWM. For the moment you can only enter CWM via the manual method as described by thiagoelg
1: Turn on the phone
2: Pay attention to the notifications LED (the one to the left of your front speaker and the Motorola logo)
3: When it light up in Blue, press the Volume Down button (FAST!)
4: Voila, you are in recovery.
Ah yeah the stable recovery works, thank you sir
the Stock recovery doesnt work, but I guess that because quarx do it purposely.
Thank You
See Page 4 for details on how I solved it.
In short I upgraded to BL7

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)

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!

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.

You're welcome. Hope it'll work. Good night.

Re: [Q] Defy can't get back to JB
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

OK, that's different.
Boot:
1) Red M logo
2) Blue LED
3) GREEN LED
4) Red M logo no LED
5) Bootloop
I think what I need is a CM10 nandroid to install with the CM10 zip :/
