I've tried installing CM 10.2 rc1 via both cwm and twrp and both have stalled at the start without making any progress. This causes the G2 to boot loop and need restoring (thankfully I backed up and was able to restore easily).
Coming from an s2 where I flashed many cm nightlies I am surprised that I'm running into issues.
Has anyone solved this or come across similar issues?

Ok so first off I was successful in rooting the phone, installing twrp rec., flashing loki files, and then flashing wicked rom with ktweaker tw kernel. I made a backup of the stock rooted rom before wicked was flashed. Then my troubles started when I wanted to go back to my stock backup. The rom booted but has serious issues like black screen with only status bar working and then eventually freezing. I also made a backup of a working wicked and tried restoring that but then I just get stuck in boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what twrp version
did you wipe all before restoring
you could try to install Phils cwm recovery, folks say it works great and will restore twrp backups also

Follow full wipe procedures, have the same recovery you made the backup with, and try again.

I flashed the stock firm. Soft brick averted. Did the same goo manager recovery method, but now i'm thinking of flashing that cwm as ppl have reported the same nandroid backup issues with twrp. My version is 2.5.0.2. I will keep trying to get twrp for a while with others users till i get sick of it (semi twrp fan). Any further advice would be cool. Oh and I did a factory twrp wipe the first time this problem occurred.
I wipe data caches and system before flashing. No more advice. Had newest TWRP hang on Team Win screen. Several manual reboots into recovery till it worked. Maybe I better do restore to see if it works.

I did a clean wipe, regular recovery procedures and flashed the latest 0819 nightly of CyanogenMod 10.2 yesterday, but after restart, my phone is just stuck with the Google logo loop. I did go from CM 10.1 with the latest TWRP.
What should I do to solve the problem?
Restore your nandroid backup, or flash another rom thru recovery. I had the same problem franco's kernel was causing the boot looping issue
I've been trying to upgrade from CM 7.2 to CM 10.{0,1,2}, but my phone keeps getting stuck with the red LED after the Motorola. My understanding is that this means that there is not a viable OS installed. When I flash the appropriate zip the recovery is updated (e.g., TWRP 2.5.0 is installed with CM 10.1). I've tried wiping cache, data, Dalvik cache before and after install, but it doesn't help.
Can anyone suggest what might be happening?
Here's the full story:
I've been running CM 7.2 for a long time and it's been great and stable. But, I saw that CM 10.2 was available a while ago and wanted to give it a try. I originally tried flashing straight to CM 10.2 from CM 7.2 but the installation aborted (status(0)). I posted on the CM 10.2 thread and _mak_V_ suggested that I needed to install TWRP or go through 10.1 first.
I installed Defy TWRP version 2.1.1 from the TeamWin webpage, but was still unable to install CM 10.2. Same problem, and I'm guessing that the recovery is still too old.
So, I decided to go through CM 10.1. I flashed this using TWRP 2.1.1 along with gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip and the installation seemed to go smoothly. However, I was stuck at the red LED.
I reverted my TWRP backup to CM7.2 and then tried CM 10 with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip -- same thing.
To make sure I wasn't completely losing it I installed CM 9 which I tried before. This worked perfectly, but I still can't upgrade to CM10 or above.
Apologies if this question has been answered already. I'm sure that I'm missing something simple, but I've combed the Bravo and Defy threads and can't find anything to help. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks for your help!
still no answer?

Oc someone's going to tell you to use search or Google it but I'm not that person shortly I'm going to install cm10 on mine so I'll go through the steps and let you know what to do or might have happened I'll keep you posted.
just made the same mistake
Try updating the recovery and when you wipe you have to do it in ext3 if you want to revert to gingerbread and ext4 for jb as far as I know
I've encountered a strange problem with my nexus 7. As soon as I install a custom rom (I've tried the latest nightly of Carbon and Slimbean) with a full wipe my device does not boot up. It stucks on the carbon, respective slimbean, bootscreen. Another strange thing is that the latest CM nightly seems to work without any problems.
I even tried to flash a factory image and then reflashed the recovery (TWRP 2.6.3) to try the mentioned custom roms again. Still no luck - CM did work again.
So, do you guys have a solution to this problem? I've used both roms in the past as my daily driver, so I am out of ideas for now...
No suggestion, but I just flashed SlimBean on mine from a full wipe, and I'm having the same issue.
I tried SlimBean again, and it worked. Here's what I did:
1. Updated my bootloader. Mine was still 4.13, and it looks like the most recent version is 4.23. I flashed the img from this post using NRT.
2. Went back to unrooted stock with NRT. (I had to update my bootloader to do this.)
3. Let it boot back into unrooted stock, wept with joy, made a nandroid from NRT.
4. Flashed the SlimBean 1.9 weekly and minimal gapps from NRT's advanced area.
5. Watched in amazement as it boots obediently. Let sit about 10 min, and rebooted.
I'm essentially lazy, so yes I used NRT instead of manually pushing everything with ADB. ADB was plan B. It was briefly plan A, but I got tired of trying to convince the Android SDK that I did in fact have the Java JDK installed.
Mhhhh....

Well I have the same problem with booting Ubuntu touch.... Either it's stuck on white Google Logo or stuck on Cyanogenmod Logo... Have flashed it with TWRP and MultiROM...
Hey guys,
As I wrote in the title I ran into a problem when installing the new CM11 nightly build from Quarx on my Defy. Here's what I did:
1) Downloaded the recovery update: http://defy.bytekiste.de/cm11-nightly-defy+/update-recovery.zip
2) Downloaded this CM11 nightly build: http://quarx2k.ru/roms/defy-cm11.0/cm-11-20140501-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
3) Rebooted into recovery and installed the recovery update. The install seems to have finished without problems, although after another reboot my recovery still read as "JB Recovery v5.7.0-jordan".
4) Did a data and cache wipe.
5) Tried installing CM11, but the installation was aborted by a "status 0" error right after the "installing update..." part.
What am I doing wrong? I assume this has something to do with the recovery update, but since as far as I can tell it was successfully installed I don't know what could I do to fix it.
Now that I got time I started reading Quarx's CM11 thread and apparently in these cases installing CM10.2 first may help (I was using CM10), as it also updates the recovery, which is TWRP in the case of the as of now latest CM10.2 nightly. After I did this I tried installing CM11 again and this time the install went without a hitch. So if anyone else runs into this issue try this first.
For the next time remember that you've to reboot the device after installing that recovery in order to TWRP do the actualization

I did restart my phone after installing the recovery update, I just forgot to mention it.
Since my last post I realized that the problem was that the CM10 nightly build I used before still came with the CWM recovery, not with TWRP. The reason is that some of Quarx's old builds didn't play nice with TWRP at the time. Since Quarx didn't explicitly say in his thread that the recovery update was for TWRP I just assumed that it was for his old builds that came with CWM. That doesn't seem to be the case however.

Easier method: just flash defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip, as explained in the installation guide.
Thanks for the link Proverbs, I'll do that the next time I'll need to update TWRP. Like I said, I didn't realize that Quarx's recovery update was for TWRP. If I did, I would have flashed TWRP separately and then CM11. What matters is that everything turned out OK in the end.
