Hello friends.
I have defy mb525 (motoblur, red cam),
I installed version CM7.1 and CM7.2 Jordan. I do all the commands Data / Cache Wipe and etc.. I install the ROM, install the gapps for GB, as described here in the forum, but when you start the phone, the google apps are not installed.
Tried with MIUI, based on 2.3.7, and also did not work. Already tested several versions of gapps, without success.
I tested with CM9, and this worked. However the version I got is unstable. And particularly prefer the 2.3.
Anyone know a solution?
Thanks
PS: sorry bad english

up for testing, got older versions, some news, and even more for other versions (ics, JB) ...
But it will not. Already on CM9, CM10, MIUI based 4.X without problems install.
Only in 2.3 that did not install. Not tested with CM6

Any error message when installing Gapps?

not. Appears that was completed successfully.
Already downloaded again in 3 browsers, by direct download manager and even on another pc. Already downloaded 3 different versions and nothing. it works with CM9, however it installs in CM7, consists in application manager, but the icons do not appear anywhere, as if it had been installed. I traded for several roms CM7, MIUI based on 2.3, and also did not work.
Here, try my Gapps http://db.tt/w9fznRBg
Not sure it's differ from one you use or not, but I always use it on Official CM7.2 and worked.
I'm on latest nightly CM7.2, same device as you.

was the same as used, the official website. I'll download it and try it, but do not know what is happening.
edit: tested but did not work: (
Maybe try flashing back to stock 2.2.2 froyo, and redo everything again?
If this isn't work, I'm out of idea now. ^ ^;;

GAPPS = Google APPlicationS package.
If you have CM 6.1 you can try THIS one. Download ZIP, save it on your sdcard, flash it like a ROM (no wipe) with ROM Manager (you have it already installed since you have a CM ROM)

THIS TUTORIAL IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FLASHED THE LATAM GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 VERSION WHICH ARE R01 AND R02, SUCH AS RETAIL LATAM, PERSONAL, CLARO, MOVISTAR AND VIVO
If you come from a different firmware this tutorial may not be entirely useful because the root method may vary and if you come from froyo you may need to use CH version for CM9, and flash a GB kernel for CM10... but that's not the point of this thread, go to the ROM's thread and READ the OP before asking dumb questions!

:good::good: good, and now, i am on cm9:good::good:
THANKS! It was really helpful as I find it a bit difficult to install a custom ROM after getting root following nicofff procedure. Don't know why, but installing a zip the usual way didn't work. Then I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Thanks that was almost too easy
I was already rooted before but did not dare the Cyanomod mainly to their alpha (still?) status, but when I heard about the feature that volume rocking allows skipping to the next song, I knew that I was doomed !
EDIT: BTW found it very stable after 1 day of extensive trial. I am really impressed !
Love this :good::good::good:
Hi,
first of all, thanks for this howto!
I am however getting problems. Coming from Brazilian VIVO 2.3.6. I succesfully completed all steps, until I get to rebooting after installing the bootmenu file. When I do a normal reboot, my phone's just rebooting into VIVO. When I choose to reboot recovery then I get an triangle image. When I push both volume rockers, I'm getting in another recovery menu. When I apply CM9 update, it will not verify.. That is where I'm stuck. Am I doing something wrong here?
SOLVED:
When you've installed bootmenu 1.1.0, it is possible that it does not load the first reboot. Just let it reboot normally, than reboot again! Now it worked!
thanks!
This is great! :good:
Few days ago I was looking for something like this but just can't find.
I experimented myself and got CM9 working on my phone.
(Took quite a lot of time waiting booting)
Thank god i did not brick my phone.
This will be great helpful to those who would like to try CM9.
Quick question - does this work with UK stock kernel?
Or does this require a specific kernel.
(How do I check?)

To update CMx roms from another version of the same branch (ie : a 7 to a 7, a 9 to a 9 and so on) you only need to :
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats (optional, it's just to get more accurate battery duration)

I haven't had any problems with latest ICS gapps, are you sure you flashed ICS gapps? Anyway you should always do at least wipe cache and dalvik cache, it's best if you do full wipes AFTER flashing gapps
Swype keyboard is not included in CM9... you can get it from beta.swype.com

Hello
I tried to install the WIUI rom - Stable GB+version - for Defy Plus ( my device is BL7 Android 2.3.6) today and encountered a discrepancy in the install guide pasted below.
1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2-----> DONE
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)--->DONE
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.-----> DONE
4. (a) Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. ---->There is no such option available. The available options are :
1. Custom Recovery, &
2. Stock Recovery
------> So which option do we choose?
Did not proceed to the following stages
(b) Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish--->
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.
6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!
(If you are stuck on boot (Motorola logo), do 4th and 6th point again.)
7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu
8. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery.
Anyone having installed WIUI on a device similar to mine and having faced the same confusion as me, willing to help ?
aCs
ps: I have encountered only one thread where such a problem is described and that person went the CM way rather than continue with WIUI. So if I have missed any thread detailing this problem and the solution please point me to it. Thanks

chose custom recovery and follow next steps.
Unsuccessful attempt
Method Followed: As indicated in WIUI Rom thread.
First discrepancy:
Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. ---->There is no such option available. The available options are :
1. Custom Recovery, &
2. Stock Recovery
So I chose Custom Recovery
Then again instructions followed per the thread:
Wipe Data stage
Message from install utility:
*Data wipe complete
*E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log
Wipe Cache Stage
Message from install utility:
*Cache Wipe complete
*E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log
Install Zip from SD Card
Selected Wajkui_Multilang*.*
Message from install utility:
*Finding Update Package
*Opening Update Package
*Installing Update Package
*E: Can't make /tmp/update.binary
*Installation aborted
Now the question needs to be answered is:
Was there a problem in the way I followed the instructions , if so what?
If the answer to the above is No based upon the record of the install/flash process listed above:
Why did the install abort?
Is the install procedure method listed on the ROM thread NOT suitable for Defy Plus BL7 Android version 2.3.6 devices which have been rooted using the procedure listed over here------>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
I too have a MB526 with BL7 and rooted the same way. I am running WajkIUI 2.5.27 successfully. All the steps are mentioned correct. Choose Custom Recovery and you'll have the option of Stable Recovery within that.
Just re-download the ROM file. IT might be that your ZIP is corrupt.

I tried to see if there is a sub-option titled Stable Recovery within Custom REcovery. No such option. Please confirm you are using 2ndinit 1.4.2.

Thanks once again for your help. I too had downloaded ver 2.3 to start with but after going through the install guide went for the lower version. Will test it out and see if I succeed.
Just saw your initial thread when you ventured out to root your phone and flash it. You mention you installed CM10 and liked it. So did you switch to WIUI and if so why? Which in your opinion is a better build in terms of stability?

Yes I did install CM10 to begin with. Heck, I had bought Defy+ only with the intent of flashing a good JB ROM on it.
However, there was quite a bit of lag (especially when the call comes in, or when you launch the dialer, or while playing games like Temple Run etc). The battery life was pathetic and it didnt suit as a daily build.
I stumbled upon WajkIUI and thought of giving it a try. Boy, what a fabulous ROM it is. You don't even feel the need for JB. This ROM is super smooth, fast, stable and what have you. No FC or restart at all. I simply loved it from the first day.

Hello
It worked. All thanks to you, as I had given up.Also initial impressions confirm your view of the WIUI Rom. However there is no Stable Recovery
option in Recovery during the install process. A couple of small niggles but more or less everything is functional as it should be .
If you think it proper, you could compile a comprehensive guide and post it. It will be a boon for all Defy Plus users whose devices are similar to your and mine and intend to ROOT &/or flash WIUI. I was fortunate that you chanced upon my thread and therefore I could solve the problem, but a guide would ensure your knowledge will be available to any one who is searching to go down this route.

I found the same error while installing the PVL Stock Rom for defy plus. After rebooting, i was back on my stock rooted rom, with all the apps missing including sndinitdefy. But the clockworkmod is still accessible. So if i install the new version of sndinitdefy, will it automatically replace the clockwordmod associated with it? Thanks for your reply!
Hello,
I own a defy mb525 with CM7.2.0. I am not so happy with this version (bad 3g access; battery life very short)
So I decided to install the CM10.1.
On the develloper page I saw that the status has been updated on the 26.03. But if I look for my model (mb525), I can find only a version dated on the 120904.
Is there a newer version for the mb525 or is it only for the mb520 and mb526 ?

Yes, there is CM10 from Quarx. Your device can be either mb525 or mb526 with red lens or green lens. CM10.1 from the same person also can.

just to be sure, your phone is not connected to a computer when you did the flash, right?

Im just guessing.... that my bootmenu seems to be out of date possible being the reason that jellybean wont install,
bootmenu is up to 2ndInit Recovery v2.3 can this file be installed over v1.1.1 ?

out of curiousity, i restored my mb525 back to cm7 nightly 20111201 nandroid, which has cwm v5.0.3.2. i did not check the bootmenu version but it should be the same as yours. then, after formatting system/cache partitions, i flashed cm-10-20130918-nightly-mb526.zip, and it worked.
so i don't really know what's wrong with your phone, but i have a couple of suggestions for you to try. not that there's any logical explanations but try it anyway:
1. according to the error messages, you have the cm10 rom in the root folder of the sdcard. try creating a sub-folder called cm10 and copy the cm10 rom and the minimal gapps into it.
2. download the defy_fullwipe_ext4.zip and defy_fullwipe_ext3.zip ( for later use, when you want to revert back your rom) from here and put them in cm10 folder as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818520
3. reboot into recovery but don't do any format or wipe. instead flash the file defy_fullwipe_ext4.zip and this will format your partitions into the ext4 file system.
4. then flash the cm10 rom. if it installs sucessfully, then without any further wiping,nor flashing the minimal gapps, reboot the phone. (note that the os will reboot once more in the middle of booting up, seemingly having a bootloop problem. don't worry it's meant to do that, unless it rebooted more than once)
5. if it boots up sucessfully, do some basic set up first before rebooting back into recovery to flash the minimal gapps.
alternatively you could try flashing cm9.1 (ext3) to get a newer bootmenu and cwm versions before flashing cm10. no need to flash any gapps, just wipe system/cache partitions and flash the cm9.1 rom by itself. reboot into cm9.1, do basic set up. once it's ready reboot into recovery and do the above steps, starting from step 3, to flash cm10.
good luck.....
edit: did you get your cm10 rom from here:

I did try using that link but the files still would abort when flashing, also tried http://d-h.st/users/Quarx files it did the same thing
I followed your instruction but decided to goto cm 9 first I flashed the (ext3) file it installed and cm9.1 installed also installed twrp with no issues but when I was going through cm9 and its functions I couldent go on line a popup message (Unfortunately, brower has stopped) also I wasn't able to log on google play a pop up message (Unfortunately,com. google android.gb has stopped). so I got fed up and decided to goto cm10.1 so I first flashed with ext4.zip it installed and then tried to flash 10.1 file once again the file wouldn't install it gave me aborted file message again. I had no choice to reboot and I had to reinstall the factory file(brick). I am now back to where I started :silly: cm7 2.3.7 its been a hell of a weekend ........... ill give it another shot soon :fingers-crossed:
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)

Reboot to recovery>>wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache>>install zip>>select MIUI zip>>reboot
Note: Sometimes, the MIUI rom shows error at first time. So again select install zip and select the MIUI zip, without rebooting.

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.
