Hey guys, I'm a but stuck..
I was running Gingerbread 2.3.5 and I saw that CM11 was out on the x5, and that I could flash it from 2.3.5. I flashed CWM 6.0.4.6 and tried flashing from there.. But it failed. I also tried flashing CM10 and Aurora but those both failed too. Error 7 or something.
So now I've only got a phone with CWM on it.. I tried flashing a stock rom back on it but the update fails. Where can I get the correct rom/recovery?
Or if its better how can I fix it from CWM?
Hope this made sense, I'm tired!
U must update your partitions use blepart then go for cm11 good luck

I accidentaly installed the CM9 kernel when i should have installed the CM7 one with ICS. Then i made a nandroid restore of my previous CM7. Than... phone dead. Starting but no CWM no ROM booting.
As i have had CM7 with GB kernel( i think) i flashed ( not knowing) an old SBF than didn't booted. I tried the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 T-Mobile It boots, i can root it, install CWM.
But than when i try to install a CM7 nightly ( installed ok) it dies again. Starts but No CWM no Rom booting.
What to do? I don't know what SBF to flash or what method to install?
Problem update I red that the above SBF has a CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy) so i installed several CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy).
They don't work. RSD says PASS but phone is dead .No stock recovery no boot. Only way to get it back to life is if i flash the eclair again.
I red that if i get a back screen when booting i have installed a lower CG version. As i tested with version 4, version 5 GB is the only option. I didn't try it out because there are some issues. Froyo would have been much more easier.
i think many readers of your post are getting problems with understanding your problem ...
you got a stock defy, rooted it, installed 2ndinit via apk, booted into recovery (vol- at blue led) and installed CM7 zip ??? correct ???
after succesfull install of CM7 your phone doesn't turn on? Black screen?
black screen after zip is (i think) impossible ... but i can fail ...
i would like to help you, but first you have to give the detailed steps you did and what you wanted to do ...
To make it simplier
I installed the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 T-Mobile (which is 2.1 update1) It boots, i can root it, install 2nd-init > CWM. Set Normal boot.
Than in CWM nothing works.
Installing a CM7 nightly, or restoring a CWM backup.
I install a CM7 nightly like this> In CWM> Custom Recovery> Wipe data, wipe cache> install Cm7 zip, install Gaaps zip. After this, phone restarts, screen is on, logo appears and i wait and wait. Nothing happens.
Do i have to install a special CM7 build?
The CWM backup does not restore. It says that files are missing ( like android.secure..) I am not interested in keeping downgrade ability. i would like to try another SBF. I am not 100% sure what SBF to use from the wiki page.
I red that the SBF i installed has some special "problems" here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905371. They are talking of a CWM revoery app by tenfair here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
Maybe that works^. Will try it after the phone is fully charged.
so, ok ... thats detailed as i wish
ok, the problem is clear i think ... first of all eclair is not a nice system for a defy ... upgrade to froyo or even gingerbread ... (keep in mind, that GB has problems with green lens camera) ...
than you can root it with SuperOneClick e.g. ... if this is running correctly, you can install 2ndinit via apk ... then boot, vol- while blue led (i know, you know how ) ... in that clockworkmod recovery you can wipe the devices data and cache partition (even wipe dalvik cache in advanced menu) ... then install CM7.2-nightly-.... .zip ... you may have to flash an fixed sbf with the nessesary kernel for CM7 at this point to boot ...
if this is working fine, you can install the gapps.zip via recovery ...
also try to set boot to 2ndinit in boot-menu ... i don't think it's "normal" boot for CM7 ... but i can't try at the moment cause of my bricked defy ...
Thanks for the reply.
The problem is that i can't install other Froyo SBF's. Will try Gingerbread SBF. The last froyo didn't boot, will try a new one. Weird, i know. Maybe someone can tell me which CM7 to flash? An older one with Kernel ? I didn't think the install would be so tricky.
Froyo Full-SBF doesn't boot on your defy?
be aware of flashing Gingerbread then ... if GB doesn't boot, you will have a problem downgrading to froyo / eclair ...
it sonds crazy, that froyo isn't booting on your device ... have you done a full wipe after froyo sbf? it's important ...
I'm on the Eclair SBF right now. What should i do? Go into recovery and do a wipe or install a new Froyo SBF? It's about the CG value maybe. I understand the mechanism but don't know how to check the CG value. If i search for my current eclair SBF i get all sorts of weird stuff. Nevertheless i will try and try until i succeed. It took me a while to figure out the Rooting method. Superoneclick does not work. It's a special method for the 2.51.
The thing is that i wanted to go the my Nordic SBF( the one Quarx used during the first days of CM7) and it didn't booted. That's why i tried this one. Funny ho flashing the wrong kernel(CM9 instead of CM7) can brake things like this. What i don't understand is how my CWM backup didn't restore. It restored well, finished, then phone dead. No CWM.
edit: i just red: 2.51 is Not downgradable. But no downgrade to what??? Will try to some Froyo SBF's, see if works. But that does not solve my CM7 issues.
Tried a few Froyo SBF's. Wiped data/cache in Stock Recovery. RSD says PASS than phone does not boot. Only the 21.51 eclair works all the time.....Where next?
Update 2 got it to work with this>

OMG i dn't understand what was going on with your defy, but i'm happy to know your on the road again
the only sbf that are running are the stock eclair you have (21.51) and the modded BL6 with Froyo Kernel ???
Glad it worked.

Yes but now i am running CM9 flawlessly. So happy. The only thing that bothers me is the Chinese Boot screen )). But that can be changed. It's great that one SBF works, moded or not. I tried like 6,7 other Stock sbf's before. So a message to whom tries to install SBF's: Stay away from JORDN_U3_97.21.51 SBF. Even the Rooting method is awful (until you find it) .
HI Deonix, I have the similar problem. However I am unable to use RSDlite as it gives a failure messg when u click start. I tried JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7.sbf and JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0_CHN_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B50AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTINT15_P003_A020_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.
Both failed, I will try using the rsdlite after the cache and factory rest this time based on your suggestions. Can you tell, if your adb command was listing your device, as mine is not.
my CWM is also gone I get some old android recovery system 3e instead which fails after signature check.
Hi,
I think I know what is your problem.
I also installed the firmware JORDN_U3_97.21.51 and now I can only install any Custom ROM after installing the firmware fix for JORDN_U3_97.21.51.
I did upload it for you: http://www.4shared.com/rar/o02VEk_v/firmware.html?refurl=d1url
It is the following:
Install JORDN_U3_97.21.51;
Rootear;
Install the Recovery;
Install the fix;
enter the recovery and install any rom you want, remembering to delete the caches (data and Dalvik cache)
ps: have 100% of the battery before installing the SBF.
any problems let me know.
Sometimes you could get stuck in a bootloop and all you need to do is pull battery and reboot

Hello. I downgraded from MIUI to the 2.2.2 (dload folder on sd card method)
then i upgraded to official 2.3 using dload on sdcard method.
How to i revert this?
I have tried using the 2.2.2 dload method, then boot into pink screen to install newest recovery, the recovery works and i can restore my old MIUI, BUT it wont boot. just stuck on the new Huawei logo.
and yes i have tried let it boot right after the 2.2.2 dload method is complete but it then enters recovery and some error massaged are displayed, and it wont boot the rom, just recovery..
Any Suggestions?

Why did you upgrade back to 2.3 if you were planning to install .32 Miui? You have to have .32 ROM installed when you install Miui .32, .35 when you install .35 Miui. If I misunderstood and you have .32, try Fixing permissions in CWM.

Currently i have the Official 2.3 because i cant get any other rom to work..
But i want to get back MIUI, my question is How?
I upgraded because i wanted to try the Aurora 4.0 rom, but i gave up as i couldnt get root on the official 2.3 with superoneclick or any other app.
Thanks
btw. How does the U8800 work? I cant flash MIUI on top of the official 2.3 because of the kernel not compatible right?
and in pink screen, is the Boot.img the kernel? if so can i just replace that one with an older kernel and MIUI will work?
Go to settings/backup reset
There's an option install update from sdcard
That should do it

I see you're familiar with the "usual" way of downgrading...try doing it again, or a couple more times. When I upgraded to .35 to try Aurora ICS I had to flash the rom (ICS) like 3 times before it booted properly (was getting a bootloop before). Also if you don't apply the update (downgrade) more than once you can get a few "traces" of .35 system apps in your .32 rom (I downgraded applying the update only once and now have apps like 2.3.5's file manager, notes app, appinstaller, in my .32 rom.I didn't notice any problems apart from that though.). Hope it helps.

Hi there - I had similar troubles after I updated to stock 2.3.5 (latest edition) bootloader is now locked and previous exploits no good
Here is what I did:
Reflashed with 2.3.5 beta using vol+vol- I found it on XDA, can't remember where at the mo
then used superoneclick -worked fine
However my phone got stuck in boot loop after I tried to install CWM however I found that adb still worked and I used that to mount .cust_backup as rw and copied CWM recovery.img on there then took battery out and rebooted in to CWM and did factory reset and personally i installed aurora ICS 2.0 (2.02 gave me simcard issues) it all worked fine - took some fiddling for me but I hope this would make it easier for you
Hi guys, i searched but didn't find the problem I'm having...
It's about the cm9 4.0.3 rom, it is great!
But now I'm trying to install the 4.0.4 build, but I keep getting stuck on the not working bootstrap...
I've tried to root the cell again and install the bootstrap but it seems that it doesn't affect the boot, everytime my phone boots directs to the cyanogenmod... =/
CM9 is already rooted and have CWM, so why do you installing bootstrap?
Cause when I power up with the vol - and camera buttons, i try to install from zip and the cm9 4.0.4 get an error while updating (it's not the zip cause i tried to use it before without errors).
How can I proceed?
What is your CWM version?
What error exactly are you getting?
Do not install bootstrap. It is nonsense, since it contain the lowest available version of CWM for M2. You have surely higher version of CWM now.
Thanks for the help, but I can't verify that now.
Tonight I'll check the cmw version and try to install cm9 4.0.4 again.
Then I'll post here again. ^^

I didn`t know the cm9 already have a CWM, how can I boot in it?
The x button boot goes to the android recovery mode (3e) only.
I did read from another thread here.
To get to the cm9 recovery mode I had to select VOL DOWN then choose Custom Recovery.
I swear that I didn't know that, all the installation tutorials use a bootmenu zip to install and then reboot to these recovery mode and CWM.... :S
The CWM version now is 5.0.3.2.
Can I try to install CM9 4.0.4 from here?
Yes. CWM 5.0.3.2 is totally fine for installing CM9.
Okay so i'm not new to flashing just made a stupd mistake, i have a Bell i9000M and installed CM9.1 and everything went fine and then installed the S3 addon pack that caused a bootloop so went into recovery and flashed back my nandroid here is where i made the mistake and restored back to GB and caused all sorts of problems but long story short I am now 100% stock running GB 2.3.3 and for the life of me cannot get CWM recovery on the phone.
Everytime i install a kernal it bootloops and looks like I can't even get into stock recovery now. I used odin and flashed PDA,CSC,PHONE and tried using 512 pit file.
The phone works just can't get recovery to work or even install a custom kernal like hardcore speedmod.
Tried follow the CM wiki and no luck, that just causes a bootloop on the startup screen.

So every time i try installing a Custom ROM on the X5 U8800 in CWM, it tells me Installation aborted. I rooted it, i flashed CWM, but when i want to flash a ROM, it gives me the "Installation Aborted" error. I dont know what to do to be honest. Huawei is so retarded some times. Samsung is so much easier No offence of course. So if someone please could help me with that, and if they had the same problem, and how they fixed it, it would be very appreciated. Oh and also, as notice, i managed once to install one ROM. But that had an Battery Issue, so it turned off 20sec after Bootup. So i really need help. Thanks in advance. -Yanniclord (BTW: I try currently installing MIUI. And i also tried different Recoverys, but only CWM works. TWRP isnt booting up, and the download link for the Touch Recovery CWM is deleted. So i currently only got CWM Please help.)
