[Q] Jellybean on Defy (Need to wipe data?)

Hey guys!
At first I'm new here and from germany, so don't be mad for my english.
I have CM9 running on my Defy and want to upgrade to CM10 Jelly Bean-Defy Builds by quarx or Epsylon3.
In no case I wan't to lose my messages on the phone and all the other things.
Do I need to do a full data wipe, installing CM10?
And does anyone have got a link for Jellybean Gapps without a torrent in it? In Quarx CM10 Thread only is a torrent link.
Thanks!

I went from latest quarx cm9 to cm10 today without wiping. The phone did the application optimising before completing boot and I still had all my apps. I'm not sure I'd recommend it though. Some of my system settings weren't properly set after upgrading.

You can use this app to backup your messages and restore them later:

I went from ICS to JB without wiping data, just cache and Dalvik-cache. It worked, in the sense that the phone booted and seemed to work, but after using it for a day I found it got really slow; applications were taking a long time to launch, and some stopped responding completely.
I saved my messages and performed a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik-cache) and then flashed JB and Gapps again. This time, the phone ran much faster and after 2 days it hasn't had any slowdowns.
So, you can _try_ to upgrade without wiping, you won't lose data and the phone will be useable, but I strongly recommend doing a full wipe.

Thank you, guys!
I think I'll give it a try.
What about the GApps? Do anyone have a link for that?

i have installed it over cm9(wipe cache only)..its works really good at moment.

I don't really know if I want to try it... :/

Yesterday after several attempts, had to do a full data wipe... It was bootlooping. Now works pretty well!

Yesterday I flased CM10 (25/07) and I only do a wipe chace and clear devilk cache before flash CM10 and then gapps for Jelly Bean. You can find gapps for Jelly Bean here goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

One of my friends also has got a Defy running CM9-ICS now and he will try it for me if I have to wipe.
My Question is answered. Ummm don't know if necessary, but thread close is ok
Thx Guys!

Just shifted for ICS to jb....first of all the bootanimation remained the same ...the one showing cynogen 9
So I thought it didn't worked and started normally meanwhile checked the settings and came to know its 4.1.1
Can anyone please tell me the difference between ICS n jb except settings....like in ui or something...

The App-Startup animation is different from ICS. When you take a picture it slides to the side after taking it. In Gallery the Images are now seemed to be stacked, like the page changing animation in App Drawer. The Statusbar is different and many other changes... Like the menu guidance and so on.

Are you sure sir? Usually going back to stock ROM and kernel solves it. Try again to go to stock, then reflash Chobits; and be sure to follow the instructions carefully. :good:

1st Wipe data then re-install chobits digitalis Rom then reboot it will take much time so wait. Then install merruk kernal or any other kernel on your sgy.after successfully installing new kernel go to recovery mode,then install creed rom......
i hope it will be installed on ur sgy.. Now Wait 2-3 minutes for rebooting............
Is that method work???? Plz let me know,,,,,,,

i'm not sure about your problem but i have successfully flashed chobitdigitalis from repencis and i also succeed in reverting to repencis.
i flashed chobits, while my phone is on repencis.
then i reverted to repencis by restoring my nandroid back up of repencis. i didn't even wiped data, system or cache. just restored my backup.

Flash stock kernel via cwm or odin and reflash the rom. Remember to wipe data and cache partition otherwise you can experience bootloops. You have been facing this problem because chobits digitalis rom has its own custom kernel.

changeing roms halts system from booting
hi
I had this same problem and i resolved it by flashing stock rom via Odin. also, you can try re-installing the previous rom again and then update to new rom by always entering recovery using the 3 key combo..this problem happens when you initiate and update from within android via rom manager or having an app reboot to recovery then installing a rom.
cheers

Do a wipe data and cache

I've tried to install Repencis 3.5 and Chobits V2 reloaded. Tried it with bunch of CWM too.... but still no success with custom ROM yet . I have flashed stock ROM with Odin. But upon reboot always get stuck at boot animation (the one with phone model text). I have followed every step according to the ROM pages, and tried recommended CWM to do it. I have no idea where am I going wrong.

what method did you use to flash stock rom with odin (with one package or without one package) if you have previously tried one package and that flash failed after sometime then dont try the other method(one in which you dont check/choose one package option) it wont work just stick to one package technique till you get it right

I havent tried the rom in question but some roms like repencis have their own inbuilt kernel (mostly it's only compatile with its rom) which replaces our stock kernel so when we try to go back to stock rom or any other rom after that then we are often stuck at boot loop coz that rom isnt compatible with your present kernel

Are you attempting to flash directly or are you using CWM?

maybe clear cache & data will help.

Looking for complete Howto: Defy+ / CyanogenMod installation / under Ubuntu

Hello,
I try to install the latest Version of Cyanogenmod (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=jordan) on my new Defy+, using Ubuntu 12.04
But.. I fail. It seems there is no complete HowTo for Dummies written.
Here , I can find how to install ADB on Ubuntu and my device is recognised:
List of devices attached

...but then, what?!
I want to a) delete all thats on the phone and b) install cyanogenmod and the google pack.
If I find several pieces to go through the comlete installation I am happy to make one complete post out of it for everyone.
Thanks,
Jean

That is for defy not defy+
You will get a frequently updated CM7 at fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm7&device=jordanplus
Flash the ROM from here on your defy+.
Root your phone and install 2nd init. Then flash the rom in custom recovery. There are plenty of tutorials! Even videos! Google

thanks. I gave up Linux qnd took a windows computer. that's what I did:
1. Download & install the driver http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2cff07f8ef573210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD
2. download and install RSD lite http://dl.atftas.us/OEM/Motorola/RSDLite5.6.msi
3. Do step 2 and 4 from this HowTo (wipe not necessary) http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...fuer-bl7-stock-roms-2-3-6-dfp-188-hoeher.html
4. install 2ndInit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 and activate it
5. copy the latest version of cyanogenmod on the sd card http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=jordan
6. restart entering the bootloader (press the sound button down when the blue light flashes while booting)
and now... I will try with the defy plus versions you send me! you have any other recommendation for strong defy plus versions? maybe a CM9 version?
thanks! and I will update later!

Cm9 has been stopped. Cm10 is latest.
Cm7 is rock solid and stable. Cm10 is awesome but I cant put up with it

[Q] unable to install MIUI

Hello friends,
I have installed custom ROMs many times before... I have tried MIUI, cyanogenmod 9, etc...
But, before few days my phone had stuck at the boot logo, so I flashed it using the SBF- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7
my phone is Motorola Defy (green lense) MB525...
Now, when I am trying to install MIUI or WIUI , it is showing installation complete,
but, after rebooting the system it is booting in my Normal FROYO only...
How can I install MIUI on my phone again now????

What the.. unbelievable.. Ok then try a newer 2ndinit apk and check the installation zip files. Is the problem limited to miui or does it happen with ANY ROM?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

change the sbf version... try to flash other sbf
I also have defy green, I am on fixed GB sbf and its is working perfectly...... you also can try this

Problem Solved

Thank you very much buddy!!
Actually, this time I was using "tenfar recovery" on my friends suggestion... I think there was some problem with that...
Now, after flashing my defy I installed the newer version of "2nd init recovery"...
And MIUI is running well on my defy now...
