[Q] Help - Defy is stuck in bootloop

Hello
I've tried to upgrade my Defy (525, green lens) to CM10(jelly bean), but im stuck in a boot loop!
My phone had originally Android 2.1 installed, one year ago i successfully rooted it and Android 2.2 successfully.
What i've tried:
- load into 2nd init, wipe cache/wipe data
- install kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed
- install CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525
- wipe dalvik cache(this does not promp for confirm, and prints nothing to the console, is this normal?), wipe data
- reboot. Now its stuck in an endless boot loop.
I can enter bootmenu/bootloader/2nd init/stable recovery. I can share here the SD card, so i can copy stuff to my phone
But as i turn on the phone, the red moto logo appears, the top LED is blue, then green, then reboot.
Did i miss something? (I've read somewhere about flashing SBF, do i need to do it?)
EDIT: I've tried to install cm-7-20120930-NIGHTLY-jordan.zip, but this gets stuck at the moto logo forever...Can i someohw see the bootlogs to fund out the problem?
Thanks
EDIT2: Solved it!
1. installed back Nordic froyo with RSD lite, rooted again
2. instaaled CM7 with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
3. installed CM10 with the instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
dunno what went wrong for the 1st time, maybe upgrading from 2.2->4.1 does not work...

What went wrong
You have answered yourself. In the link to install Cm10, you will see the instruction requires you to flash froyo kernel.
For MB525 builds:
1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash froyo kernel
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
6) Flash Gapps.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart.

Problems with defy.

My defy doesn't power up..no recovery mode, no boot logo. i have 4.1.1 CM9 installed..i tried to install 4.0.4 and then appeared tho cyanogen boot logo and that's it. I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 and now my phone doesn't power up.
WHAT CAN I DO NOW!? Please help me!(
I don't know the english language very well so please don't judge me.

Some more information please..
Please tell me the exact steps you followed to get a custom recovery and also mention which ROM you flashed (BTW 4.1.x is CM10) and what process you followed in recovery mode..
The steps you should have followed are -
1. root your phone
2. install 2ndinit
3. download the rom and the gapps (and kernel if required) and place them in your sd card
4. boot into bootmenu and then custom recovery (press volume down button when the blue led shines while booting up - when the red moto logo is displyed)
5. in recovery - wipe data, wipe cache, advanced - wipe dalvik, install the zips (rom and gapps, kernel if required) from sd card, wipe cache again, wipe dalvik again, reboot
6. wait! beacause first boot is lengthy..
7. enjoy your device.
If you have done anything different or have not done anything from the above mentioned steps, please repeat the process doing that also..
BTW the link you have mentioned is a collection of stock SBF files..(default moto roms)
There is nothing there which will help you to upgrade to ICS or JB..
Please check this thread for Jelly Bean 4.1.2..(CM10)
It is a great place to start because it is the latest as well as simple to install ( one build for both defy and defy+)
But if you want a stable build, check this. It is 2.3.7 gingerbread..(CM7)
No kernel flashing required for both the roms
Please press the thanks button if this post helped you :highfive:
PS: which language do you speak natively, maybe we can help you in that language :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Question about MS2Ginger

I'm currently running CM10.2 by Engle_Mars but I would like to try MS2Ginger 5. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931968 )
I've read the thread but can't really find some concrete information as to the installation steps. Do I need to install both the rom and the kernel listed in that thread?
I have the latest kernel: SPKernelR6+UP.7z (16.05 - New Revision! <Rev6>) and the v5 Rom.
In cm10.2 Do I just reboot to recovery, install the kernel, install the rom, wipe data/cache, reboot?
Thanks.

You dont need to install kernel from MSGinger thread. It is working with stock one without any problem
0. Extract rom to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
1. you must format data and cache to ext3 - you can do that from bootmenu
2. boot to recovery and flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?i1rcie7tf4y6rmu
because CM10.2 has TWRP recovery and it cant recover CWM nandroid backups
3. Boot to CWM based Recovery.
4. Restore the ROM.
5. Reboot , boot again to CWM
6. Now Wipe Data & Cache.

Thank you!

Link to stock / official OxygenOS ROM

I just wanted to share with you this link I found lately where you can download official stock OxygenOS ROM's for your OPX.
http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/
Here you can download any OxygenOS rom OnePlus provided back to 2.1.4.
To flash such a ROM on your device (e.g. after testing CM or just flashing TWRP) do this:
1. download it and put the .zip on your internal sd-card / storage
2. go to your current recovery (by powering off and holding Volume Down and Power buttons untill the display comes to life)
3. in your current recovery choose "install zip", navigate to this .zip and install it
4. after a reboot you have the downloaded ROM on your phone, and the recovery included with it. So also the recovery is replaced.
Succes!
