Hy there, will explain shortly
cm10 last quarx build, (everything works perfect)
I save data through cwm and format ext4 and then restore data
whole day goes perfect
I go to sleep and when I turn it on It gives fc in every app of the system,
1. I try to install again the cm10 build doesnt work same problem
2. try to install any custom rom that have always worked (skanky roms, maniac, whiterabbit edition... all with the correct kernel installed)
3. in all of the cases It gets freezed in boot
4. I have bricked my phone many times, and I always have done alright using rsd to flash over and start from the beginning
5. so this is what I did, flashed with RSD the same sbf as I always do but I also get bootloop
6. Im pretty sure its because the ext4 partition, and I thought flashing rsd would reset the phone format too.. what can I do now?
Please Help ty
EDIT: As its a problem of ext4 partition you must power+down and format data, then the new sbf will work ^^

most probably you didn't convert back the data partition from ext4 to ext3 before installing CM7?
anyway, apparently the only solution for your condition at this moment is by reverting back to stock froyo sbf, root, install 2ndinit, then flash CM7

I'm facing the same issue. I know I now have to use RSDLite to get back to CM7 and hence changed my mind to use cm10. But now I'm facing another problem. When i try to restore my backup, it says "Error restoring /system" & "Cant mount /data". Please guide me get back my Defy to normal state. I don't have PC access due to which I cant presently flash the stock sbf.

To get to cm7 to cm10 WITHOUT sbf flashing, you need to convert data to ext3 from bootmenu and use the system wiper script for ext3 and finally flash cm7.
At your present stage if you cannot mount system from the recovery manually(from storage and mounts out something) then you will need to flash via rsd

Title says it all: I get symlink: some symlinks failed, status 7 error, installation aborted when I try to install Quarx's CM10 (2nd boot). Haven't tried any other JB, since I can't find any that fits. Maybe something with 2nd boot? It seems not to work on my phone...
I tried google-ing the problem, found some information about removing lines from updater-script, but the line was not even there (something with asserts).

Try a system wipe. That error is because of some filesystem problem, not 2ndboot

I tried wiping with AROMA wiper yesterday: ext4, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, then NO reboot and install cm 10... it failed as hell.
ive had the same issue as you with cm10 2ndboot. i moved on after trying to get it installed for months. 10.2 is awesome! just make sure you start from a fresh sbf flash and reroot and all that jazz. also, start with twrp!

thanks for the advice but i can't seem to install twrp. goomanager is not available for stock éclair/froyo, and without installing any cwm i can't install twrp. also, i tried to install twrp from cm9's cwm, it wrote success but after reboot i still had cwm. WUT
Dummy question: did you try to download another ROM?s zip file ?

I tried different nightlies of JB 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, MIUI JB. Also did clean install with 0 success. I'm getting close to the problem, and reached this far:
1.: My CWM (5.x.x.x) does not support the 2nd boot updater script. I don't know how could I upgrade to CWM v6 (seriously, I searched a lot but nothing.)
2.: I can't install TWRP. I mean... Éclair and froyo does not support GooManager to install from an app, and I can only install CWM from 2ndinit.apk. From CWM I install TWRP, it says: "Whoah you are great bro, reboot recovery!" I do that and boom CWM again.
Srsly.: HOW can this happen to me? Other ppl resolved this problem by flashing DFP sbf to their normal Defy (red lens). I won't do that. You know, there must be a way I can install CWM v6 or TWRP. But how? If anyone gives me a solution for my problem which is going on for half a year... I'll get a heart attack I'll be so happy
Uhm.... recently i had to start from SBF and had no problem installing last ( Quarx's ) build of 4.1.2 after having installed the first 2ndinit i downloaded from the web ... so... write exactly your steps ( i know, i know, .. but .... where'R talking through a monitor and misunderstandings are waitnig for us )

I start from sbf (Froyo). Install 2ndinit apk, install 2ndinit, reboot, wipe data cache dalvik, (try to) install cm10.x > status 0 or status 7
I start from cm9(epsylon build). Reboot into recovery, (try to) install cm10.x > status 0 or status 7
I start from cm9(epsylon build). Reboot into recovery, AROMA Wipe (system, data, cache) into Ext4, (try to) install cm10.x > status 0 or 7
After these, I can't revert to any rom even if i format to ext3 with AROMA Wiper. Cuz' my defy goes soft-bricked and i have to recover it RSD Lite.
Do not reboot after wiping/formatting system. Immediately flash some ROM. Ext3 --> CM7.

No rooting between sbf (Froyo) and installing 2ndinit apk ?

I started with sbf, Framaroot, 2ndinit. Then I directly flashed CM10 (9th July) and it flashed successfully. The latest dual recovery has CWMv6, but it's only for CM10 ROMs. Have you tried pre-TWRP builds (maybe the November builds)?
Or maybe, other ROMs like PA, PAC, etc.?

Happened to me to before. Try change your kernel. Stock kernel cant flash cm10 and its variant. It'll give status 7 error. When i change to other kernel ex;BL v12 no problem at all.

I forgot to add that my problem got resolved like a month ago.
My main problem was that I couldn't install any JB rom because of status 0, status 7 or bootloop (always), so I went radical:
I flashed DFP231.sbf (for defy plus) on bayer lens defy (MB525!), used Framaroot to root, installed LATEST(!) cwm, and then I could install CM10.x with no problem!
Hi guys, need some help here. I'm sure this has been asked before but i just couldn't find any
Installed slimkat 20140406-0134 rom (cm11) last night and it's basically working. But I'm still not feeling comfortable using it as there's still bugs around. So thought of going back to cm7.2 for now. But for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get to the tool section so I can re-partition it back to ext3!!!
All I could get in to is twrp recovery and that's it. how do I even get into the bootmenu section where I can choose recovery, cpu settings, tools, etc? There's no red Moto logo with blue LED at boot up anymore
Is there any uninstall instruction somewhere, or perhaps someone should write one?
44 viewers but no reply
any idea if i can install some sort of apps to achieve the same end? like a wipe app to re-partition it to ext3, and then an older recovery to install cm7 rom, or restore my cm7 backup?
don't really want to just try and see what will happens. also trying to avoid flashing sbf and start from scratch.....
edit: will aromawiper work? reboot to twrp recovery 2.6.3.0, aromawipe to ext3 and then flash cm7.2 rom straight after? expert opinion and advice please.
edit 2: oh well, tried it and didn't work. might be because i didn't install an older, compatible recovery before i rebooted. stuck at red moto logo and had to flash sbf and start all over again......
case closed...........

you can flash cm10 to get the boot menu to format to ext3 then flash to cm7.2.
Thats what i did when i tested cm11.
Or use Aroma wiper to format to ext3 and flash CM7.2.

that's exactly what i did but didn't work. aromawiper seems to have worked properly but twrp 2.6.3.0 keep saying "no os installed" after i installed the gb rom and tried to reboot. tried maniac's cm7.2 and an older wiui gingerbread rom. i thought it might be a hickup and rebooted anyway and that was it.
don't know what went wrong there. has anyone actually tried this method before and got it to work?
edit: imho twrp is not worth it. it rebooted 8-10 times on me after installing cm11 and tried to get back into recovery to flash gapps. also other problems like blank backup files and my failures to install rom problem. they should have stuck to cwm until the problems are fixed.
edit 2: and i think removing bootmenu is not a good idea. more steps to take if you want to go back to cm7.2.
Hi XDA Users.
I've a Strange Problem with my Defy+.
After hacking with ADB (mounting, copying system files,hacking with 2ndinit etc.) my phone via TWRP cloudn't mount /system nor /data. So I thought "I ll'falsh an SBF, maybe I fried the partition table...". Flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF via sbf_flash (This SBF Always Worked) and rebooted. But my phone is not working. It loads the bootloader and , just before the second boot animation it shut down and reboots. Bootloader works, Recovery Works (Tried to wipe data/cache, no solution), even Charge Mode. But it won't boot. Can Someone Help me?
