CM 11 Defy - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, because I'm pretty novice in this area.
Good Night all.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm using a translator because my language is Portuguese.
I'm trying to install the rom the 12/10 but is giving the following error:
__________________________________________________________________________
.....................
Starting Installation...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip
Updating partition details...
Failed
_____________________________________________________________________________
I followed the following tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036
As I said, I'm newbie at this. So I would like someone to teach me very detailed on how to install.
Thank you.

Not sure about the error that you say you're getting but these were the steps that I followed to install it on my Defy:
1. [IMP] Made a nandroid backup
2. Wiped cache and Dalvik cache.
3. Installed the recovery file [http://defy.bytekiste.de/cm11-nightly-defy+/update-recovery.zip]
4. Rebooted and cleared cache and Dalvik cache (again).
5. Installed the ROM and the GApps file.
(A couple of steps here might have been redundant but, hey, it worked and it's always better to be safe than sorry. )
Also, try installing the latest version of the ROM - more bugs have been fixed compared to the 12/10 version. Best of luck updating your Defy!

What are the files to download and flash to get RCmixHD

HI all,
Ca you help me in flashing RCmixHD [2.3.3,SENSE 2.1,720p video,tb unlock] v1.0.1 ROM. I need to know which are the files I have to download and flash. Thanks in Advance.
With regards
<Manic>
There is a whole section titled ROM links, it shouldn't be that hard to work out :/
If you're generally referring to flashing a custom rom then have a good read at the Nexus One wiki, it'll help you understand a little more.

It might help if you read the posting fully. You need to download all three files.
1. RCmixHD 1.0
2. USB Fix
3. 1.0.1 Update
Install them in this order, reboot between each install. And make sure you fully wipe your device first.
What about for Version 1.1.. I think i can download that single file and flash the ROM..
hi,
i downloaded RCmixHD [2.3.3,SENSE 2.1,720p video,tb unlock] v1.1 ROM and flashed it after full wipe..
During the time of flashing i am getting this message.. Kindly help me in clearing this problem
E:Missing file:
ext/system-VR/0419/libCBLexMgr.0419.so
E: Verification failed
zip verification failed
zip isn't signed correctly.

Disable signature verification(If you're using RA Recovery, you can see 'toggle signature...', and I think Clockwork also has such option) and try it again.
Hi,
Is it Safe to flash Unsigned ROM.. or i have to wait for Signature once full ROM is there..

Although it warns about unsigned ROM/updater, I think if it is from reliable developer, it's usually OK, though I feel developers should sign their .zip files after packing is done.
thanks.. i have flashed already

Flash Cyanogen over CWM

Hello,
i got a problem, i want to flash cyanogen over CWM. At first i flashed my phone to another Firmware, i used the tutorial.
The flash worked and now i want to flash cyanogen over CWM, but all time i got this Message in the recovery:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Someone can help me please??
I got the following building on my Samsung Galaxy S
Firmware-Version: 2.3.6
Basisbandversion: I9000XXJVU
Kernel-Version: [email protected] #2
Buildnummer: GINGERBREAD.XXJVU
It was my first time, that i flashed my phone, i wish someone can help me.
P.S.: my english is not so good
Redownload cm and try again
I did, but it still not work and show me all time the same fail :-(
Try removing your external sdcard and then going into CWM
you are trying to flash an unsigned zip in stock recovery. the stock recovery checks if the zip is signed. if it is, the recovery applies the update. but the zip you are flashing is not signed, so it checks the zip and cannot find a signature. then it aborts the installation.
your solution is to flash a custom kernel, for example Galaxian. after flashing install the zip again, it will work like a charm
if you have any more problems, don't hesitate to send me a PM in German
I wrote you a message Noobproof, hope you understand

Thanks for Answering...
Pls Help....
it would've took you less time answering him than complaining.
Mate, I've had this very problem.
You need to flash an earlier version of cm. try cm10 or 10.1.
it doesnt work because you have an outdated recovery. flashing cm10 solves this.
Good luck!
edit: after you flash cm10 make sure to get the 20 oct version of cm10.2 as the 17 sept you tried to flash is not the latest

[SOLVED!] Unable to flash MIUI - Status 7

PROBLEM FOUND AND FIXED! Answer in Post #3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53784248&postcount=3
Hey guys
I've been trying to install MIUI for hours, using both CWM or TWRP, and I'm always receiving the same error message:
Writing recovery

I've flashed CM without a problem, and an original stock ROM as well.
Why is MIUI giving me a hard time?
**I already followed this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-13226-1-1.html**
Thank you!

Use Philz recovery (just flash zip attch in rec) it's something to do with the older binary code-that's why it's status 7 ?
Well, after deciding to fix this problem once and for all, I added a "ui_print" after
every (well not every) line, to see exactly where is the installation failing.
The discovery? It fails at:
set_perm(0, 0, 0555, "/data/local/tmp/relink");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The solution?
Change all "/data/local/tmp/relink" into "/tmp/relink" like so:
package_extract_file("META-INF/com/miui/relink", "/tmp/relink");
set_perm(0, 0, 0555, "/tmp/relink");
run_program("/tmp/relink");
delete("/tmp/relink");

1) Extract "updater-script" from the ROM file (using winrar for example)
It's located in META_INF > COM > GOOGLE > ANDROID
2) Change the parts I wrote in the previous post
3) paste the "updater-script" file inside the rom
Good luck
i9500 MIUI Flashing Error
After downloading the MIUI ROM, open with winrar and locate the updater-script
\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
and remove the first line of code
getprop("ro.product.device") == "ja3g" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "ja3g" || abort("This package is for "ja3g" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
save and update from the winrar app.
Try flashing again but disable the zip verification......Done

[HELP] Error 7

I was using a custom ROM on my phone and tried to install the stock rom. When I went to make a wipe through TWRP I accidentally checked the Internal Storage option. I don't know if this is related but I think it is. Anyway... when I went to try and flash the stock rom I got the following error:
"failed to parse int in 205815 test
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/UL-ASUS_X00T...zip"
Tried other custom ROMs and it didn't work also.
Help me because this is my only and main phone and now I simply have no idea on how to fix this.
Please if you have any input it will be massively appreciated.
