i flashed the custom rom and my phone wont boot
i could go to 2nd-init recovery menu, so i saved recovery.log
this is the part of recovery log, i think this is the problem
-- recovery.log --
system is not a block special device.
Proceed anyway? (y,n) failure while running mke2fs
format: format_ext3_device failed (-1) on systemmount: failed to mount system at /system: Block device required
-- End recovery.log --
please explain me why it happens (i want to know the reason.......)
and sorry for my bad english.

Enter in bootmenu/stable recovery. Wipe the data and the Dalwik. Reboot. If nothing happen (have 2-3 minute of patience) then do it from beginning: flash a stock ROM according to your device (read the tutorial), root, install 2ndinit, reboot, wipe data and Dalwik, flash ROM, (optional custom kernel) flash gapps, wipe cache and Dalwik. Reboot. Enjoy.
thanks
but i wonder why it happens too.....

It looks like you try to downgrade your ROM without first format system to ext3.
thanks for the replys! :thumbup:

My Defy won't still boot after installing the rom
I wiped dalvik cache and /data, /cache.
And I checked this custom rom's updater-script for errors..
but my phone gets problem(appears bootlogo -> black screen -> bootlogo -> black screen looping)
what should I do? please help me once more :crying:
the first and second line of the content of updater-script
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");

If boot loops appear after flashing custom ROM enter in custom recovery and wipe (that means format) data/cache and dalvik (that for restore ext4 partition). But that is true for flashing CM10. When flashing CM7 you must do wipe from stable recovery !!
i already did them...
actually i modified updater-script in cm7 please give me the solutions

If I understand correctly you have boot loop in CM7.2 after you format on ext3 (with stable recovery) cache and dalvik?
yes thats correct
before, i didnt have any problem.

STEPS TO FLASH HYPERION (worked for me 100%)
- Flash stock rom via odin
- Reboot and go to CWM
- Clear Data/Reset and Cache
- Mount System/Sdcard/Data/Cache, (Sometimes Data/Cache can't be mounted it is OKAY)
- Flash Hyperion
- DO NOT REBOOT YET
- Go to Advanced
- Boot to Recovery
- Clear Data
- Clear Cache
- Reboot
Try it

Hello,
I currently have defy with the later lens with the latest Quarx CM10 nightly installed. While CM10 is generally awesome, it turns out to be not stable enough (radio crashing, sudden restarts) and a bit too slow. Now I would like to downgrade to CM7.2.
I tried just flashing CM7.2 after a wipe which yielded a non booting device and me flashing back CM10.
Does anyone have any experience with reverting the Defy to CM7.2?
Thanks for your help!
You should change ext4 format of data to ext3 before flashing cm7.
1. Boot to recovery
2. Wipe Delvic cache, data/cache
3. Go to tools menu in recovery.
4. Convert file system from ext4 to ext3. It don't show any progress. Wait for few time. It shows done.
5. Flash cm7
IMPORTANT don't attempt another wiping of data/cache after filesystem conversion.

I want to do the same with my green lenses. I have CM10-2nd boot, should I install CM7.2 for defy+ or just regular defy?
thanks in advance.
I don't know WHY all this redundant question? Is so hard to search a little? This problem was debated by enough time.
Sorry, I did search and found just this thread...
Just tried here, and cm7.2 for Defy+ worked just fine.
Hmmmm, last time I had to do this I reflashed a stock Froyo rom and did the whole process of rooting/installing 2ndinit/installing CWM again. Installing CM7 then wiping dalvik/cache/data did not work.
If a simple flash/wipe doesn't do the job, reflash Froyo again and follow the instructions to install CM7.
I haven't got the option in Tools to format in EXT3, there's only options to share SD, drivers, systems... Why?
I'm using a Quarx CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.
Maybe I need to upgrade to CM10.1 to have that option? Which ROM could be good?
I'm using a Defy (mb525)

No just install CM7, GAPPS, and reboot to Stock recovery and there do Factory reset and reboot.
Now your CM7 should boot
Similar, but a little different
My requirement is to give CM 10.x one more try, this time with a clean install.
So, what should I do?
I posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192807
Do I need to use stock recovery, format, install SBF and then install the latest nightly?
Or something else as well?

CM 10.1 to stock
I have gathered the following instructions so far:
1. Boot to recovery
2. Wipe Dalvic cache, data/cache
3. Go to tools menu in recovery.
4. Convert file system from ext4 to ext3.
5. Flash stock ROM (Where can I find this?)
Once I am with stock ROM, I would like to install CM 10.1 again, since I am not happy with the performance of the current CM 10.1 (perhaps 2 months old), so I would like to start from scratch.
Am I missing anything important?
Once you wipe data, system and cache in TWRP(of your current installation), your new installation is clean(as it would after stock rom/sbf flash)
You can cross check using the inbuilt file explorer in TWRP

Keep trying it in odin, fully installed all stock, and proves that everything works on and, if so, install the cm7 kernel if possible from odin. Then try again to install cm7
Man, try install stock rom in odin. If the phone doesn't boot, remove the battery and enter in CWM stock. Make a wipe in data and restart the phone. The phone will take 5 minutes or more to turn on. Post ur results.

After flashing cm7 kernel go to recovery mode and format system first then you will be able to mount system. Then format data and cache and mount them all and flash cm7

I feel my install storage is corrupted so rsd Is not able to flash things into internal memory. Whatever I flash, even a cmx sbf, I get the same stock android symbol and the checksum verification fails for all except cg31 and cg32. I need to reformat my internal memory before I flash .for the I need custom recovery. With a locked bl, internal memory is not formattable. Exactly my /system partition is corrupted. If there any update.zip which can format /system partition?

Okay I ve found the options.
1. I need an update.zip which I need to use from stock recovery to format /system
Or
2. I need to format /system through rsd lite..or some other software similar to this? Is there Ny?

Flashing any SBF with RSD will fix your partitions; I know this because I've had damaged partitions before. I don't think a corrupt /system partition is your problem, I think your internal memory might be physically failing.
Why do I get the classic android boot animation whatever sbf I flash? A and I've seen many ppl complaining if boot looping after flashing a sbf if it formats partitions

I thought you said you weren't getting a boot animation and it was taking you straight to stock recovery? You're going to have explain yourself better. If you're getting a boot loop in the boot animation, and you can still access stock recovery, then through there wipe /data and /cache and it'll boot up. You almost always need to wipe /data after flashing an SBF.
I don't know if it formats partitions or not, I just know that it fixes them.
I ve tried sbf ing with both rsd and sbf flash in linux. Nothing worked.
Wherever sbf I flash, I get one same boot animation bootlooping.
The device fails on checksum verifications during flash. This tells the rsd has problems with internal memory.
If the internal memory has failed permanently, why would it read the bootanimation?.weird
Most probably its corrupted

Ive tried /data /cache wipe through stock recovery.
And defy doesnt flash properly. Every flash fails with checksum errors.
I thought I could access custom recovery if I flash fixed sbf with custom rom but defy acts like sbf is never flashed. Because if I access bootmenu, I can format system partition

Hey guys,
I was attempting to root my phone so I unlocked the bootloader (using fastboot oem unlock) and flashed CWM recovery (using fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img using version 6.0.4.3). Now, that all worked but when I tried to boot into Android, it got stuck on the boot animation and when I try to mount /data in CWM. I can't do backups because of that problem (namely, it gives me "can't mount backup path") and I don't want to lose all my data. Is there any way of saving this/if I flash a custom ROM, will it erase that data?
Thanks,
Ninja!
Yes wipe /data /cache is required to flash custom roms.
Try to fastboot boot recovery.img and see if it loads /data, and remember to check your bootloader version (not z20i)

Ok, I tried that using the CWM touch recovery image that I had but it still didn't work. My bootloader version is Z30d.
Fixed it by flashing stock ROM.
