[Q] Failed to install KitKat

Hi guys. I wanted to install Kit Kat on my defy, follow instruction entered TWRP, nandroid backup, wipe everything except sdcard, install recovery, reboot and now I'm stucked in Android system recovery (3e) and dont know how to proced from here. I only have theses options:
1. Apply sdcard:update.zip
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
Under these it says:
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
When I apply sdcard:update.zip it says Faild to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory), which is normal as my update.zip is on /sdcard/ROM/update.zip.
I also tried to wipe cache partition but nothing happened.
Could someone help me?

Flash sbf. Root phone. Install cm10.2. Install update-recovery.zip. Install KitKat

Thank you for answers.
@leandrolutz - It was one that Quarx built, from 02.12.13 CM.
@thekguy - I had to flash SBF, now I'm on Android 2.2.2. I'll follow your instructions. Just have one question, should I install CWM or TWRP? I follow guide, in which I installed update-recovery.zip from TWRP after wiping all date except those on sd-card. then After that, I couldnt get into new recovery. Is this right order to update to KitKat?

SBF, root, 2ndinit. Then you install CM10 (4.1), reboot, install CM10.2 (4.3), reboot, install update-recovery.zip, REBOOT (without any wipe), install CM11 (4.4).
DO you want to use ART or DALVIK? :highfive:

You will need to use twrp, the one included with the respective build. From 4.3, you should flash recovery zip, reboot without wiping, and from recovery you should be able to flash kk
There's a button dedicated to thanks

Thanks all for your help. I installed 4.3 and after that flashed recovery where I made a mistake and wipe dalvik cache after instaling (did this before yours answers):crying:. After restart, I couldnt enter twrp recovery (as soon as I enter defy restarts), only bootmenu and stock recovery from there. Luckily I havent wiped system so I still have 4.3 installed. Then I tried to install recovery from GooManager (didn't make it), stock recovery where I get message: "Failied to verify whole-file signature. Signature verification failed. Installation aborted".
Is there any way to install twrp without having to do all from the begining (sbf, root...)?

Hey guys, problems again. Didnt find way to install recovery so I decided to do all steps (sbf, root, 10.1...) again.
First I entered bootloader, connected usb, RSD lite and flashed same sbf as I did few days ago. Unlike last time, this time it wont flash, RSD did his job (erasing flash memory, flashing code group...) and when it comes to reboting, in RSD is written finished, but defy didnt turn on, not even motorola logo on screen. Take out battery, try to get into stock recovery and bootloader (volume down and up+power on), but still nothing. Then tried other sbf, 3 od them (retail French) but same thing happened every time, dead screen). Only thing that points that tel.is alive is white led that turns on when I connect it to PC.
I cant understand why 2 days ago when I flashed sbf, everything was fine and this time it refuses do complete. Only difference is that this time it was installed Android 4.3 and last time 4.2.2.
Any suggestions.

If your current sbf isn't working, try dfp 231 or a sbf newer than your current one. It should get you at least to stock recovery, from where you can wipe data and revive your defy.
From 4.3, just flash update recovery, don't wipe or flash anything else. Reboot, and enter recovery once again. Now install 4.4 and it should work
Although, that should not have occurred just by dalvik wipe. Make sure the 4.3 build you use is recent
FYI you could have fixed recovery by extracting and overwriting bootmenu folder from zip

Hey thekguy, thank you very much. I managed to revive my defy with 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE and now I'm using Android 2.3.6. I'm reading another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820282 where it says that after flashing 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE, it should than be flashed with rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF.
Should I also flash this second SBF or go directly to 4.3?
Thanks again.

Root with framaroot, no need for 2nd sbf

[Q] Reincarnation not booting

I am using GT S5360. I have installed reincarnation pre final and it didn't passed the screen where samsung galaxy Y GTs5360 comes.
I followed the whole procedure but not working. Any help ???

Did you flash kernel?
Mount system?
Remember that naturalizer or touchwiz rom isn't for galaxy y

after you flash percys cm#2 kernel you must reboot to recovery and wipe system data and cache before you flash the rom
the steps are as follows
go into cwm
mount system
flash percys #2 kernel
reboot to recovery
format system data cache
mount system data cache
flash rom zip
format data
restart
if the rom still doesnt boot after that take out your sim card
if the rom now boots you need to change your baseband by flashing a different stock rom firmware via odin

I flashed the jellybean version... I have restored the backup now and i followed all the steps... I flashed the zip file of kernel, rebooted recovery, formatted system, data, cache and then installed the rom... But it stucks on bootscreen... Dosen't even show the bootanimation...

2.Reboot the system and take out the battery and then put it again
3.Again boot into cwm and format system,data and cache
4.Go back and wipe data and cache
5.Again go to mounts and storage and mount all the partitions

go back into cwm and format data and restart
did you mount system data and cache before flashing the zip?
have you tried it without the sim card inserted?

1st download the below file & put it in /sdcard/firmware/ (u ve to make a folder in the root of sdcard & name it as "firmware" .
then go to recovery, install zip from sdcard, then choose CWM, then in CWM install zip from sdcard & install the zip u ve downloaded in the /sdcard/firmware/ .Then install any rom.
note: this zip package format ur system/data/cache

1)Easy way without pc to solve the issue download multiformatter.zip (search forum) flash this zip in cwm it will open aroma installer follow the instructions and format the partitions to rfs. Close aroma mount everything and flash any rom.
2) Flash stock rom via odin. (PC reqd.)

You might not know this, but every device has its own different system partitions. The thread you were referring to is for Asus Transformer Pad. Following that might make the problem worse.

But this is ASus phone it works on lenovo a6000

In that tutorial mmcblk0p8 is being formatted because that memory location has the /data directory on Asus Transformer. But, in our device the /data can be in any other partition, and doing that might brick the device permanently

Delete the recovery log from twrp folder and flash another twrp from flashtool or rash..what version are you using? If it is indeed a corrupted partition, you can reflash your phone using qfill

Try using the Fix Permissions in TWRP recovery...
It may help.

Best way is install the latest twrp I.e 3.0.2 and do the format everything instead of advanced wipe. Your problem will be solved. I too faced the same problem and I did what I have advised you. It worked.

Is the problem resolved??

I have solution
Bro don't take so much tension , thats not hardware problem its only your Recovery's reading cache error . you can simply fix this by flashing old version of recovery and from that old recovery again wipe what you want to remove but man don't touch your mount section column , after wiping data and anything else simply flash new twrp.img then simply reboot recovery . wollllaaa you got your partion cache back now again you can simply flash you favorite roms. I hope you understand what you have to do now . But please follow these steps carefully :good: .
Remember don't flash KitKat recovery over lolipop recovery otherwise you got bootloop. Old recovery means suppose if you have now twrp v 3.1 just simply flash v2.8 then after wiping things you want , then simply flash twrp v 3.1 .
If you still have any doubt you can contact me via WhatsApp - +91 9205097520 (indian no. ) or simply reply me on xda or simply mail me at - [email protected] . And at last don't forget to tell me about your device problem .
