[Q] Help: Defy+, GB SBF, 2ndinit, bootloop after CM7 install. - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I installed this SBF using RSDLite: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_ND_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTNORD_P011_A013_Service1FF.sbf.gz, (GB Nordic SBF).
Then installed Framaroot 1.4.1, rooted the phone using Gimli exploit, said root successful.
Then installed 2ndInit 2.4, said install successful.
Rebooted two times, went to custom recovery, everything seemed ok. Wiped data/cache/system using AromaWiper.
Then installed the latest fixed CM7 (cm-7-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed.zip).
Upon reboot, the phone is stuck in bootloop. I'm still able to enter the custom recovery, so I guess 2ndinit worked, but installing the aforementioned CM7 results in bootloop.
I tried scanning through the All-in-One guide here, but couldn't really pinpoint what exactly is my problem. Could someone help, what would be the steps to take to get my phone running CM7? I'm able to flash SBF and at least seemingly flash zips via custom recovery, but I suspect there is something wrong in there since the flashed zips don't seem to work.
EDIT: If anyone can help? Is it that 2ndinit was installed badly? Reinstall from SBF, re-root, pay more attention to 2ndinit install?
In the All-in-One guide I find some problems with 2ndInit and talk about GoAPK SystemRecovery? Would that help?

[Q] Installing CM7 or 9 - bootloader issues

Hi,
I am trying to put CM on my Defy+... and am having issues actually installing them thru 2ndInit.
It's 'stock' rom is Gingerbread 2.3.6 and rooted using SuperOneClick.
If I install the 'stable' version of 2ndInit (0.6), in the recovery when trying to flash the rom (and indeed when trying to clear cache), it returns errors relating to /tmp/
When trying to install the ROM it says: E: can't make /tmp/update_binary
and the install fails.
So, then I try the latest version of 2ndInit (v1.something), and in recovery, it doesn't error like this anymore - it seems to install CM sucessfully, with no error reports.
However then on reboot, it shows the M logo very briefly and then goes to Bootloader screen with the error:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,0023
From here I cannot access custom recovery and stock recovery doesn't help, so I have to use RSD Lite with phone connected on this 'bootloader' screen and flash a stock SPF to start again. (note, I have only found one stock SPF which will actually work this way, which again is 2.3.6, Defy+ with Blur)
I have tried this with CM7.1 Jordan, CM7.1 Defy and also CM9 Defy+.
During the CM9 installation, I installed the CM9 kernel (2.3.3).
None make any difference, always the same issue.
The bootloader error makes me think CM (7 or 9) need a different bootloader version to that one the phone from stock... but I know very little (nothing) about kernels/bootloaders...
And I have no idea why on 2ndint v0.6 the /tmp/update_binary issue happens -- i've seen a fair few people have similar problems with no (afaik) solution (other than a suggestion to try 2ndint latest version which I did and resulted in bootloader error...)
Anything else worth trying would be most appreciated!
Is there an option to (somehow) obtain a Nandroid backup of someone's working CM on a defy+ and install that from 2ndInit recovery? Would that work?
Thanks
Rob
I have the exact same problem you have. Been banging my head against this thing for 3 days without a solution...
You have to install latest 2nd init from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212.
Follow instructions (like reboot twice...). Then flash a Defy+ rom without kernel. The CM7.2 DEFY+ nightly's don't contain the kernel so you won't have a problem. You can find a link in the first post of CM7 threat.
To get everything working, you might want to check the "100% battery and ..." threat in the Dev section.
For CM9, I thing you just need to install the latest nightly on gb kernel, don't know this one. If you search a bit, you'll find everything.
Yeah,I have the same question that drived me to die~!

Problems with recovery

I have installed the rooted BL7 DFP-231 SBF and everything works fine, but when I install 2ndinit the phone goes into a boot loop and I have to reflash it with RSD Lite again.
try to flashing the stock sbf, then root it from there.
There's no real way to root BL7 that people know of.. the only way is to flash the rooted SBF.
Does anyone have any idea?
Hey
try this Link
It might work
Got it all working and flashed with CM7! v1.4.2 gives permisson errors, 2.0 and 1.9 put my phone in a boot loop.. so I figured it may be because it's actually downloading the recovery you select instead of installing it locally, so I went to 1.7 and it worked like a charm!

[Q] Droid X .604 Boot-loop problems? HELP!

Okay so I am not a noob to the rooting community, but something strange has been happening. I was recently on stock .621 and wanted my wi-fi tether back for my iPad, so I did some research and did the .621/.604 Linux SBF and Root. All is good when i am on that except my 3G almost never works so I installed the "BoostedICS Beta 1" and "Gummy 1.0.1" Roms (Not at the same time). The installation went smooth for both roms and they worked awesome..., BUT when i try to reboot the phone or try to go into CWM It just freezes on the boot logo or it goes into a boot loop and the phone wont start back up, so i have to keep doing SBF. I just sbf and am in CWM and wanting to install gummy again but i want to know if their is something i can do before installing it again that will stop this problem?? Please help!?
How I am installing roms:
1. Boot into CWM
2. Wipe Data/Cache/ and Delvik
3. Install Rom
4. Install GAPPS
5. Reboot
BUMP!
Try wiping system also.

[Q] Everything i trying to flash failed.

Hi.
I have a defy plus .2.3.6 rooted with 2ndinit recovery.
every ROM I've tried to flash makes the phone stuck in bootloader menu, so i had to flash SBF again.
am i do something wrong? I've flashed a lot of roms on defy mb525, and everything worked fine.
thanks and sorry for my terrible english.
Sow now you are stuck in bootloop or you can not flash a custom rom?
I just flash SBF and go back to stock rom.
try wiping data in stock recovery .
(if you access it)
No access to recovery. boot right to the bootloader.
Reply!
Firstly is your defy rooted? If yes, install 2ndint and go to recovery by switching off your phone and press volume+ and power on button.
The problem you are facing is because you are not clearing cache before flashing a custom rom. Happened to me once so i know! Follow this procedure to the line and you should be fine!

Hmmmmm
What bootloader you have? I think... v7
Teoretically you can use any 2.3.6 ROM
Yup, V7.
The only rom I was able to install it is CM9.
I'd tried this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667536 with the same results.

[Q] Cannot install TWRP (Bootstrap)

Hi,
I have Defy MB525 and I currently flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf.
I read most of the guides here, but I'm still in the loop - cannot get working TWRP to install latest CM11.
I flashed Recovery BootStrap v4 (TWRP) but when the phone starts booting, it ends up with the following screen and I cannot go foward.
It doesn't matter, what I choose (Recovery or continue.). When I press the menu button (to choose Recovery), nothing happen, till the 3rd press - than the display goes black and thats all .
Maybe its related to the bootloader version, which is 09.10 or is there any prerequisite to successfully install TWRP?
Any idea where could be the problem or what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you in advance
Issue fixed
Even that nobody replied, I finally fixed this issue, so I will post here the solution, which may help to anybody else:
I finally found the sbf file, which is working with my Defy: http://motoroladefyall.nortol.info/motorola/joe30_236_DFP-231_Magyaritasa/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf.gz
After flashing this, the phone finally booted and saying its MB526, but never mind...
Then I rooted the phone with Framaroot app and installed the TWRP recovery (bootstrap). This time SuperUser was asking for root permission, so I granted it, flashing recovery was finished and the phone was rebooted.
Then the recovery was finally working, so I flashed the resize.zip, latest CM11 and minimal GAPPS.
And hurray, my Defy is finally running with the latest KK
