instal custom rom problem..

I've tried all types of flashing and so, yet I get same black screen after rebooting my phone
not sure if any of my files are wrong, yet I don't think so
I've tried all I can think of, all custom roms and stuff, but no result
I can get to root my phone, install bootstraper then bootmenu, wiped all data and cache but while installing the mod, it loads the installation and after last reboot I get a blank screen with no options to get back in bootmenu or recovery
it's rather my fault or not, but I can't install it, not even with your fast help from post above
any tips left?

What stock do you have? froyo or gingerbread one? and what rom do you want install?
Because if you have Gingerbread base you cannot install miui or cm for froyo kernel..
but you have a Cm gb kernel based..
sorry for my English

I have Gingerbread (2.3.4) and I want to instal CM7 (http://temp.anonymouz.eu/cm72-111215.1631-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-GB-v1.3.zip) or else...but I cannot instal anything..the screen remains black after apply update.zip.. and to startup phone again only after I flash SBF...
Sorry for my English..but i really need help

you have to downgrade your kernel.

There's a sbf-fix for that issue on the CM7 thread, for GB kernel you need to apply update.zip, wipe data/cache/dalvik, reboot and you get a blank screen, then you flash the sbf-fix via RSDLite and now you can boot
You can also try CM9 which is based on European GB

wow it works, thank you all for all :X

[Q] Aurora loading problem ...

Hello
Im having problems instaling the Aurora Rom.
I have a rooted U8800 with official GingerBread from Huawei.
I have installed Aurora 1.11 zip file and instalation whent ok
After instalattion I rebooted the phone and after loading huaweis logo the word Aurora apeared and nothing else.
I waited a few minutes but nothing else apeared it stayed only the Aurora word.

Is there any file before Aurora_1.8a zip ?
why does it stay in this way ?
Can anyone please help ?
Thanks

You can try install latest Aurora (5.0). You must have 5.0.2.7 or 5.5.0.4 recovery.
Instructions:
1. Download package to SD card
2. Boot to recovery
3. Full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik, battery stats)
4. Install package from SD card
5. Enjoy ICS!

Hello Mlopik
Thanks for your quick answer
I have 5.5.0.4 recovery instaled
I will try Aurora 5.0 in a few minuts lets see how it runs...
Is Aurora 5.0 a full Rom or just an update to the previous versions ?
Do I need to install a older version than 5.0 first ?
Thanks

[Solved] Only with Quarx CM10: Status 7, Installation aborted?

Title says it all: I get symlink: some symlinks failed, status 7 error, installation aborted when I try to install Quarx's CM10 (2nd boot). Haven't tried any other JB, since I can't find any that fits. Maybe something with 2nd boot? It seems not to work on my phone...
I tried google-ing the problem, found some information about removing lines from updater-script, but the line was not even there (something with asserts).
Defy red lens MB525

Try a system wipe. That error is because of some filesystem problem, not 2ndboot

I tried wiping with AROMA wiper yesterday: ext4, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, then NO reboot and install cm 10... it failed as hell.

ive had the same issue as you with cm10 2ndboot. i moved on after trying to get it installed for months. 10.2 is awesome! just make sure you start from a fresh sbf flash and reroot and all that jazz. also, start with twrp!

thanks for the advice but i can't seem to install twrp. goomanager is not available for stock éclair/froyo, and without installing any cwm i can't install twrp. also, i tried to install twrp from cm9's cwm, it wrote success but after reboot i still had cwm. WUT

I tried different nightlies of JB 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, MIUI JB. Also did clean install with 0 success. I'm getting close to the problem, and reached this far:
1.: My CWM (5.x.x.x) does not support the 2nd boot updater script. I don't know how could I upgrade to CWM v6 (seriously, I searched a lot but nothing.)
2.: I can't install TWRP. I mean... Éclair and froyo does not support GooManager to install from an app, and I can only install CWM from 2ndinit.apk. From CWM I install TWRP, it says: "Whoah you are great bro, reboot recovery!" I do that and boom CWM again.
Srsly.: HOW can this happen to me? Other ppl resolved this problem by flashing DFP sbf to their normal Defy (red lens). I won't do that. You know, there must be a way I can install CWM v6 or TWRP. But how? If anyone gives me a solution for my problem which is going on for half a year... I'll get a heart attack I'll be so happy

Uhm.... recently i had to start from SBF and had no problem installing last ( Quarx's ) build of 4.1.2 after having installed the first 2ndinit i downloaded from the web ... so... write exactly your steps ( i know, i know, .. but .... where'R talking through a monitor and misunderstandings are waitnig for us )

I start from sbf (Froyo). Install 2ndinit apk, install 2ndinit, reboot, wipe data cache dalvik, (try to) install cm10.x > status 0 or status 7
I start from cm9(epsylon build). Reboot into recovery, (try to) install cm10.x > status 0 or status 7
I start from cm9(epsylon build). Reboot into recovery, AROMA Wipe (system, data, cache) into Ext4, (try to) install cm10.x > status 0 or 7
After these, I can't revert to any rom even if i format to ext3 with AROMA Wiper. Cuz' my defy goes soft-bricked and i have to recover it RSD Lite.

Do not reboot after wiping/formatting system. Immediately flash some ROM. Ext3 --> CM7.

No rooting between sbf (Froyo) and installing 2ndinit apk ?

I started with sbf, Framaroot, 2ndinit. Then I directly flashed CM10 (9th July) and it flashed successfully. The latest dual recovery has CWMv6, but it's only for CM10 ROMs. Have you tried pre-TWRP builds (maybe the November builds)?
Or maybe, other ROMs like PA, PAC, etc.?

Happened to me to before. Try change your kernel. Stock kernel cant flash cm10 and its variant. It'll give status 7 error. When i change to other kernel ex;BL v12 no problem at all.

I forgot to add that my problem got resolved like a month ago.
My main problem was that I couldn't install any JB rom because of status 0, status 7 or bootloop (always), so I went radical:
I flashed DFP231.sbf (for defy plus) on bayer lens defy (MB525!), used Framaroot to root, installed LATEST(!) cwm, and then I could install CM10.x with no problem!

[Q] Motorola Defy+ MB526 CM installation doubts

Hi! I have some doubts to install custom ROM on Motorola Defy+:
When I install CM on Galaxy Note I directly download from CM website, but when go to look for Defy+ I found only the Defy (not +) and the most newest version is 7, instead 9, 10.1 and 10.2 that I can look searching here in XDA. What is the reason of this difference?
Exist any method that if I not like keep the CM can go back to my Defy+ original ROM and unrooted?
Actually the Defy+ have Android 2.3.5 with the operator ROM.
Thanks for your help!

The Defy/Defy+ has no official support from CM after CM7.2. Quarx2k maintains unofficial and highly stable ROMs for the device, despite its limitation of locked bootloader.
Root with framaroot, then install the 2ndinit app. Open the app, and press install 2ndinit bootmenu. Then reboot, go to recovery (press volume down when blue LED lights up) and take a nandroid backup. It is possible to go back to stock via flashing SBF using RSDLite.

I can do some of the steps but I have a problem:
> Already root with Framaroot: OK

> Nandroid backup: OK
> In Android Bootmenu I select + Recovery --> Custom Recovery, OK until here.
> I do the wipes, OK also
When I try install the ZIP of CM 10.2 ( cm-10.2-20130801-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip ) the process abort and show me the message:
"(status 0) Installation aborted"
I read that for this error message, and the first time, I need install using DUAL RECOVERY (TWRP). I donwload the ZIP of this DUAL RECOVERY (CWM_TWRP_v3-signed.zip) but now start the problem, after install OK, I can boot again the device and see again the Android Bootmenu, but each time that I select CUSTOM RECOVERY the photo show a blank screen and later the Motorola logo and operator logo loop...
Here I don´t know if this is correct or I miss press something in any step, but I can´t boot again in CW recovery or TWRP...

I turn on the Defy+ normally and see that after wipes, the phone boot normally in a clean stock 2.3.5 if this info is usefull...

Dual recovery is only for JB ROMs.

Ups, this mean than now I need install again from the 2.3.5 the 2ndinit to get back the CW recovery, right?
After this I need:
- Install the CM 10.1 from CW
- Install the CM 10.2 from CW or also here I need install before the DualRecovery and from TW install the CM 10.2?
Thanks for your help again!

Anyone have the link of correct zip of gaaps? I already download one for 4.3 from goo.im but show me a error when I try install.
Thanks again!
UPDATE: I already download a pack from goo.im labeled as: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
install done, but after turn on the phone I look that this pack not have Google Play, can be possible?

Phone work perfect but not connect to my local operator no signal, no 3G I select from settings-- Advanced -- Baseband selection -- and America Argentina Claro 3.4.2-107.9 that is my local operator. I reboot, but nothing work Any idea?

Fixed this I change by the 6.14.7 that no have the label of my operator and work!!!

Now look that all work fine after I install one pack of gapps called gapps-jb4.3-20130813-minimal_edited_20130814.zip from this post. All look good but the strange is that I need install all apps manually, not autoinstall when I login. Maybe because is a "minimal" pack, right?
Now I try restore some data from old apps that I made a backup with Titanium, but now titanium tell me that I not have ROOT access. This CM 10.2 ROM lack of root? How I can root again this ROM to can use titanium?
Thanks again!
