Apparently I've been using old software (2ndinit and twrp2.1.1) to install my roms after sbf flashing, and its causing problems when trying to get 10.2/4.3 installed. What custom recovery do you guys initially use? Or what custom recovery should I be using instead of 2ndinit and twrp2.1.1?
Update your recovery flashing last quarx's 4.1.2, wipe cache/dalvik and then try 4.3

Hi Guys,
I own a defy +,
Here are some details
Android Version : 2.3.6
Kernel Version : 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e
Problem :
When i try i install any custom roms, i am getting boot loader err. But i was successful in installing CM7 but i am unable unable to install other custom roms.
Actually the roms gets installed but when i try to boot for the first time i always get bootloader error.
Did u Flash Kernel?
make fixed SBF From Ur Stock SBF.(moto andriod depacker-Delet CG31 And CG39)
and flash Fixed SBF With RsdLite.
Yes, it looks like sbf mismatch. See this guide for defy+. You can also try to flash a nandroid backup like this one
Thanks for your help guys, but i understand very little.
I have a nandroid backup, whenever i get bootloader error,i usually flash a Stock SBF then i will restore my phone using the nandroid backup.
Can you guys guide me how to install CM9 on my defy plus.
I flashed CM9 rom and i have also flashed CM9 kernel for gb but i am still getting bootloader error. Where i have went wrong
What is mean by SBF mismatch??
flash stock SBF.
Root
flash CM9 For DEFY+ .
DONT FLASH ANY KERNEL.
Just follow this instructions carefully. Common mistake is that you forget to wipe cache and data. So, wipe cache and data, and reboot. First boot takes longer (about 10 minutes). Good luck.
Thanks guys, i successfully installed CM9.
But , can one suggest me ROM for my defy plus, which gives good performance and also stable. ??
I recently got a nexus 7 2012. I unlocked it and installed the custom recovery (CWM) according to the guides given in the forum and elsewhere. The problem comes when I install a custom ROM like CM10.2, It installs fine, but the boot does not resume after the CM animation. I tried another rom like AOKP and even TWRP as recovery, still the problem persists. My bootloader is 4.23 and flashing back to stock ROM works as normal. Please help.
What recovery you use. And what tool you use to root. For I use WUG toolkit. And install TWRP. And install CM 10.2 with no problem. Maybe you not really root. Update your superuser before that

Stupid question: are you sure you are flashing grouper ROMs?
Tried a lot of combinations with ROMs and recoveries finally I solved it. CWM wasn't working with its wipe options and tried TWRP and gave the full wipe of all partitions before flashing CM and gapps and it worked!!!!
Hi everyone,
I'm planning on upgrading my Nexus 4 to KitKat.
Currently I'm using PA 3.69 (4.2.2) with Franco Kernel and CWM Recovery.
1. What files do I need to flash for the upgrade, possibly with links? (I'm going for Purity ROM)
2. In what order should I do the flashing process?
3. Should I upgrade CWM before flashing, and if yes, which is the latest version that supports 4.4 and how does upgrading work?
Thanks in advance
If you want to install stock KK, you can download the factory Occam images and install via fastboot.
If you want to install a custom rom, you may need to update your recovery to the latest version and flash a KK rom that includes an updated radio and boot img.
So you think I can:
1. Upgrade CWM to 6.0.4.5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198942
2. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545838, since it includes Bootloader and Radio.
3. Flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281607 (Purity ROM)
4. Flash any desired Kernel (e.g. Franco) and use Titanium backup to restore my apps?
U just have to download the Rom. Install it. Set it up. Then boot back into recovery and install the kernel
I don't think u have to update CWM. So just steps 3 and 4
I'm asking cause I am coming from 4.2.2 with old radio and bootloader and I want the most up-to-date ones.
And I am sure that just flashing the rom will cause problems... What do I need to wipe prior to flashing?

I checked the links. Your method seems to be OK.
As for wiping, you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from the recovery when you flash the Purity Rom
Everything has worked flawlessly. Thanks!
On flashing a Custom Rom, my phone gets stucked with continous FC ("Unfortunately Phone Crashed","Press OK") just after the phone boots.
I had faced the same problem earlier so someone on XDA suggested to use twrp recovery. Then i flashed the purity rom and it worked fine, but then as you may know now, as PA is out, so flashed it and again i'm getting continuous fc error....
currently i'm using purity rom, stock kernel and twrp recovery (2.6.3.3)
I would flash back to a stock 4.2.2 and start over. I find that this is the only way I can install certain roms.

Strange. Are you updating the bootloader and radio before flashing a 4.4 rom?
Are you doing a factory reset???? And flashing a proper gapps after ROM? You should always do this when going from one ROM to another. Sometimes a manual format of /system is necessary also.
no i am not updating my bootloader and radio before flashing (rather didn't know if i had to update them,fyi i bought my nexus 4 this september)....and yes i'm doing a factory reset (using the wipe option in twrp recovery which warns clearing of data, cache and dalvik memory)
Hi,
I installed this SBF using RSDLite: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_ND_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTNORD_P011_A013_Service1FF.sbf.gz, (GB Nordic SBF).
Then installed Framaroot 1.4.1, rooted the phone using Gimli exploit, said root successful.
Then installed 2ndInit 2.4, said install successful.
Rebooted two times, went to custom recovery, everything seemed ok. Wiped data/cache/system using AromaWiper.
Then installed the latest fixed CM7 (cm-7-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed.zip).
Upon reboot, the phone is stuck in bootloop. I'm still able to enter the custom recovery, so I guess 2ndinit worked, but installing the aforementioned CM7 results in bootloop.
I tried scanning through the All-in-One guide here, but couldn't really pinpoint what exactly is my problem. Could someone help, what would be the steps to take to get my phone running CM7? I'm able to flash SBF and at least seemingly flash zips via custom recovery, but I suspect there is something wrong in there since the flashed zips don't seem to work.
EDIT: If anyone can help? Is it that 2ndinit was installed badly? Reinstall from SBF, re-root, pay more attention to 2ndinit install?
In the All-in-One guide I find some problems with 2ndInit and talk about GoAPK SystemRecovery? Would that help?
