*Can do a CWM backup here [(Backup and restore -> Backup) NOTE: When restoring backup you must first flash a stock from (2.2/2.1 if the back up was done on either, and 2.3 if it was done on 2.3) as it doesnt backup the kernel]
To upgrade to nightly or from rc1 to rc1.5:
1. Download update and copy to sd
2. Go to bood menu -> recovery -> Custom recovery -> wipe cache and dalvik cache (in advanced) Install zip file from sd card(select the zip file you copied to sd card) thats it.

[HOW TO] Install CM9/CM10 on GB 2.3.6 LATAM (R01 and R02 firmwares)

DISCLAIMER!!!
THIS TUTORIAL IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FLASHED THE LATAM GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 VERSION WHICH ARE R01 AND R02, SUCH AS RETAIL LATAM, PERSONAL, CLARO, MOVISTAR AND VIVO
If you come from a different firmware this tutorial may not be entirely useful because the root method may vary and if you come from froyo you may need to use CH version for CM9, and flash a GB kernel for CM10... but that's not the point of this thread, go to the ROM's thread and READ the OP before asking dumb questions!

ROOT your phone (Check nicofff's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277)
Download and install Droid2Bootstrap (see attachments or http://www.mediafire.com/?rbie0acs53rdfwc)
Download bootmenu1.1.0 and put it on your SD Card (see attachments or http://www.mediafire.com/?lh61gvslph4x4sv)
For CM9 download latest European GB Kernel version this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623385 and latest ICS gapps from http://goo.im/gapps/ and put both zips on your SD Card
For CM10 download latest version from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827801 and latest JB gapps from http://goo.im/gapps/ and put both zips on your SD Card
Open Droid2Bootstrap and grant it root permission
Hit "Bootstrap Recovery" You'll see a pop-up telling you "SUCCESS!"
Hit "Reboot Recovery" and your phone will reboot and enter on custom recovery
Select "Install zip from sd card" and then choose the bootmenu1.1.0.zip (use slider keyboard arrow keys to move, and "OK" button to select)
Reboot
When booting, the led will turn blue, press both volume buttons to enter bootmenu
In the bootmenu, go to "Recovery" > "Custom Recovery" (use volume buttons to move, power button to select)
In the custom recovery, select "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition"
Go to "Advanced"
Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats"
Go back and select "Install zip from sd card" and then choose the CyanogenMod zip file (CM9 or CM10)
Do the same for gapps: Choose gapps-ics-xxxxx.zip for CM9 and gapps-jb-xxxxx.zip for CM10
Reboot
Be happy
You should be booting into CyanogenMod now!
If your signal is not working try installing the MS2Toolbox (see attachments or http://www.mediafire.com/?k3h8vpcj6b2it0e) and then go to Baseband Switcher and choose your right band and then reboot, you might need to try more than once, but this tool will get your signal up

:good::good: good, and now, i am on cm9:good::good:

THANKS! It was really helpful as I find it a bit difficult to install a custom ROM after getting root following nicofff procedure. Don't know why, but installing a zip the usual way didn't work. Then I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.

Thanks that was almost too easy
I was already rooted before but did not dare the Cyanomod mainly to their alpha (still?) status, but when I heard about the feature that volume rocking allows skipping to the next song, I knew that I was doomed !
EDIT: BTW found it very stable after 1 day of extensive trial. I am really impressed !

Love this :good::good::good:

Hi,
first of all, thanks for this howto!
I am however getting problems. Coming from Brazilian VIVO 2.3.6. I succesfully completed all steps, until I get to rebooting after installing the bootmenu file. When I do a normal reboot, my phone's just rebooting into VIVO. When I choose to reboot recovery then I get an triangle image. When I push both volume rockers, I'm getting in another recovery menu. When I apply CM9 update, it will not verify.. That is where I'm stuck. Am I doing something wrong here?
SOLVED:
When you've installed bootmenu 1.1.0, it is possible that it does not load the first reboot. Just let it reboot normally, than reboot again! Now it worked!
thanks!

This is great! :good:
Few days ago I was looking for something like this but just can't find.
I experimented myself and got CM9 working on my phone.
(Took quite a lot of time waiting booting)
Thank god i did not brick my phone.
This will be great helpful to those who would like to try CM9.

Quick question - does this work with UK stock kernel?
Or does this require a specific kernel.
(How do I check?)

To update CMx roms from another version of the same branch (ie : a 7 to a 7, a 9 to a 9 and so on) you only need to :
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats (optional, it's just to get more accurate battery duration)

I haven't had any problems with latest ICS gapps, are you sure you flashed ICS gapps? Anyway you should always do at least wipe cache and dalvik cache, it's best if you do full wipes AFTER flashing gapps
Swype keyboard is not included in CM9... you can get it from beta.swype.com

You must be on Froyo... because tezet's CM7 doesn't work on gingerbread, so if you want to try CM9 you must use Chinese version

In this case, can I follow the 1st post tuto ?

[Q] Defy Plus 2.3.6 BL7 -WIUI install guide discrepancy(?)

Hello
I tried to install the WIUI rom - Stable GB+version - for Defy Plus ( my device is BL7 Android 2.3.6) today and encountered a discrepancy in the install guide pasted below.
1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2-----> DONE
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)--->DONE
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.-----> DONE
4. (a) Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. ---->There is no such option available. The available options are :
1. Custom Recovery, &
2. Stock Recovery
------> So which option do we choose?
Did not proceed to the following stages
(b) Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish--->
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.
6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!
(If you are stuck on boot (Motorola logo), do 4th and 6th point again.)
7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu
8. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery.
Anyone having installed WIUI on a device similar to mine and having faced the same confusion as me, willing to help ?
aCs
ps: I have encountered only one thread where such a problem is described and that person went the CM way rather than continue with WIUI. So if I have missed any thread detailing this problem and the solution please point me to it. Thanks

chose custom recovery and follow next steps.

Unsuccessful attempt
Method Followed: As indicated in WIUI Rom thread.
First discrepancy:
Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. ---->There is no such option available. The available options are :
1. Custom Recovery, &
2. Stock Recovery
So I chose Custom Recovery
Then again instructions followed per the thread:
Wipe Data stage
Message from install utility:
*Data wipe complete
*E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log
Wipe Cache Stage
Message from install utility:
*Cache Wipe complete
*E: can't open /tmp/recovery.log
Install Zip from SD Card
Selected Wajkui_Multilang*.*
Message from install utility:
*Finding Update Package
*Opening Update Package
*Installing Update Package
*E: Can't make /tmp/update.binary
*Installation aborted
Now the question needs to be answered is:
Was there a problem in the way I followed the instructions , if so what?
If the answer to the above is No based upon the record of the install/flash process listed above:
Why did the install abort?
Is the install procedure method listed on the ROM thread NOT suitable for Defy Plus BL7 Android version 2.3.6 devices which have been rooted using the procedure listed over here------>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956

I too have a MB526 with BL7 and rooted the same way. I am running WajkIUI 2.5.27 successfully. All the steps are mentioned correct. Choose Custom Recovery and you'll have the option of Stable Recovery within that.
Just re-download the ROM file. IT might be that your ZIP is corrupt.

Thank you for your response.
I tried to see if there is a sub-option titled Stable Recovery within Custom REcovery. No such option. Please confirm you are using 2ndinit 1.4.2.
I checked the zip file using Winzip. It is not corrupt.

No brother! You are to use ver 2.3.
My file name reads as 'SndInitDefy_2.3'. Attached is the APK for you!

Thanks once again for your help. I too had downloaded ver 2.3 to start with but after going through the install guide went for the lower version. Will test it out and see if I succeed.
Just saw your initial thread when you ventured out to root your phone and flash it. You mention you installed CM10 and liked it. So did you switch to WIUI and if so why? Which in your opinion is a better build in terms of stability?

You must use the "manage app" options to uninstall any app including 2ndinit.

Yes I did install CM10 to begin with. Heck, I had bought Defy+ only with the intent of flashing a good JB ROM on it.
However, there was quite a bit of lag (especially when the call comes in, or when you launch the dialer, or while playing games like Temple Run etc). The battery life was pathetic and it didnt suit as a daily build.
I stumbled upon WajkIUI and thought of giving it a try. Boy, what a fabulous ROM it is. You don't even feel the need for JB. This ROM is super smooth, fast, stable and what have you. No FC or restart at all. I simply loved it from the first day.

Hello
It worked. All thanks to you, as I had given up.Also initial impressions confirm your view of the WIUI Rom. However there is no Stable Recovery
option in Recovery during the install process. A couple of small niggles but more or less everything is functional as it should be .
If you think it proper, you could compile a comprehensive guide and post it. It will be a boon for all Defy Plus users whose devices are similar to your and mine and intend to ROOT &/or flash WIUI. I was fortunate that you chanced upon my thread and therefore I could solve the problem, but a guide would ensure your knowledge will be available to any one who is searching to go down this route.

I found the same error while installing the PVL Stock Rom for defy plus. After rebooting, i was back on my stock rooted rom, with all the apps missing including sndinitdefy. But the clockworkmod is still accessible. So if i install the new version of sndinitdefy, will it automatically replace the clockwordmod associated with it? Thanks for your reply!

Because you want to install the 4.3 is necessary to format data (do a factory reset) BEFORE! That can be done from TWRP or CWM.

Hi, you should at first update to latest nightly 4.1.2 in order to upgrade the recovery and then move to 4.3, both wiping data and cache before flashing each ROM.
1) Download latest 4.1.2 and 4.3 ( you find link to them in the OP posts of the rispective threads )
2) wipe cache/dalvik.
3) flash latest 4.1.2.
4) wipe cache/dalvik.
5) flash 4.3.
6) wipe cache/dalvik.
7) Reboot.
A better solution would be to wipe also "/data" (and /system) in step 4 using " defy ultimate wipe ":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818520.
So it would be:
1) Download latest 4.1.2 and 4.3 and defy ultimate wipe.
2) Reboot
3) Wipe cache/dalvik.
4) Flash latest 4.1.2.
5) wipe cache/dalvik.
6) Reboot
7) Reboot
7) Wipe everything (/system /data /cache /dalvik_cache) defy ultimate wipe ( DO NOT REBOOT BEFORE doing the next step )
8) Flash 4.3.
9) wipe cache/dalvik.
10) Reboot.

Got to say that I try using CM10.1 & CM10.2 in the last week,
I got the same device asyou and to tell the truth, the CM10 (android 4.1.1) is the best for our defy's!
works good, no crashes or any other problems...
If you still think of trying it - go to youtube and look for- defy install cm 10.2
take a look at some of the videos.. it will assist you.
good luck!

thanks for replys
I am using CM10.2 vor few days now, and quite satisfied.

Well, I know there are lot of helpful guides out there on how to install cyanogenmod but not everybody gets what he's looking for. I recently searched a lot of sites, forums, and lot of xda posts for installing cyanogenmod 11 M7. And i finally found few posts that helped me.
With these posts one can get an idea about how to flash a kernel, how to back up the data, and how to flash a custom ROM on a S2. Pretty helpful...isn't it? All thanks to these guys - @avirk , @-Grift- @banjara @Vivek_Neel @Phil3759 .
The steps might fit correct for some.. where there might be some variations for others. I myself didn't find some steps from the guide i followed while backing up my data. But still.. i went for it. And it was good enuf.
So here are the steps that i followed... n i think which might help some one like me out there.
First of all. as they say.. If anything goes wrong. I'm not responsible. If everything goes right.. well..Thank you then.

Where are /format system and /format preload??? If you are on 4.1.2 stock you need to do a full wipe.
Flash latest philz kernel in stock recovery, then reboot into recovery again(hold 3 buttons) and flash latest Philz CWM Touch recovery(6.0.4.8!). Then do a full wipe and flash a custom rom and gapps.

I Agree with Zile.
I installed Cyano with similar steps and I finished with an useless phone with system partition full.
format system and preload are mandatory moving from stock to cyano in my opinion.

What happened with me was.. i didn't find the preload thing while making my backup.
So i missed some steps from the guide which i followed. I'll be trying it again when cm11 m8 will be out.
May be that time i can find the preload section.

And you might find some links on google search too.
Just be sure you download the gapps for Kitkat 4.4.x. This will avoid problems
Go ahead and take your pick

You can link your above post for the link to the GApps section in the OP, then you'll not get other questions as to the link for GApps.... Also, as said by @Zile995, it is better if you include formatting system and preload too in your guide as not doing so may cause issues and doing so is the best way to full wipe your system for fresh flashing without issues...
And yes...Great work.... :good:

hi
i did every step of your procedures (more times) and the result is the same!!

If I install the Cyano 10.1 everything is fine...
What can I do????

Can I boot into system after installing 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 and later install new rom?

Would any of you guys be able to help me (a rookie when it comes to this) with these Q's in my thread about CyanogenMod?
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/stock-rom-to-cyanogenmod-import-sms-t2903491
Btw, isn't it easiest to acquire CyanogenMod by using the CyanogenMod Installler for the i9100?

Never had this problem bud. I installed M9 in the same way but google process failures were never encountered.
I'm afraid i might not be of any use here but would suggest one thing that stick to 10.1 till u find an answer to this.
And regarding your problem..... These guys( @avirk , @banjara , @-Grift- , @Vivek_Neel , @Phil3759 ) might be able to help you out. They helped me too.

I guess it should be ok to boot into the system because you'd be installing the recovery and if the recovery is compatible with the ROM and won't give any problem then you can. But still.. always take a second opinion before you try because... even I'm a learner.
