What were you trying to flash and why from stock recovery? Have you rooted your defy and installed 2ndinit? You can't install any custom roms from Stock Recovery. CWM recovery is meant for such purposes.

You can't just remove the extension. You need to unpack the sbf file with WinRar or 7-zip then flash it. .gz means that file is compressed and you need to unpack it!

Downloaded sbf file but unable to unpack

Thanks for your help.....I will try restoring it to stock and start from the beginning.....will doing a factory reset in settings restore the stock recovery.....
I did actually try philz touch recovery....same thing happened....but I will try your option 2 and get back to you pronto.....

So I followed the steps you asked me too, twice and still no joy.....
philztouch recovery gives the following message:
E: Cab't open /external_sd/ROMS/SuperDroid_v4_m3ddog.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
Does it matter my custom rom file is on my external sd card?
The only thing i can think of is that i am trying to install a rom for different s4 variation maybe.........its the gt i9505, thats all i know....
HELP ME!!!......:crying:

Its telling you the problem... The rom you have above isn't complete or corrupted - IE"bad"
Either re-download the rom or try another rom...

thanks, its just strange that the 2-3 roms i have tried have all returned that error message, I will download the rom you linked and get back to you.....
is that rom to go on with odin, as currently i have stock recovery......?

no joy with the linked rom......
same thing happened, i can successfully get it rooted and flash recoveries no problem......
is it possible its a sd card problem.....

also, when i go to restore the back up i make before flashing the rom, it reverts back to a brand new handset, so i need to set it all up again, put in my Google account details etc.......all my apps return obviously, but this isn't meant to happen is it......
it really is confusing me, all the other devices I have had in the past and currently have flashed ok........
when i wipe before the flash, its just the default factory reset, cache, dalvik I do , is this correct?

That should be fine, it is possible the sd card is corrupt or not communicating properly with the recovery. You could always put the rom on the internal sd card.... Just don't factory wipe or you could loose the rom you are trying to flash...

That didn't work either......so frustrated with this.......
Can someone go through the exact procedure....I know there are guides but personal experience s are best.....

Full Wipe Install means:
- Wipe Data / Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Format System partition
- Install

thanks....
I have been using twrp mostly....i don't believe the default wipe setting includes the system partition format...........could the absence of this formatting cause problems every time?

finally managed to flash a custom rom.......
the trick was to install the zip without any sort of wipe, then do the wipes after successful installation......
weird eh....

[HELP] Wiped and erased phone in CWRM, ROM installation aborted

So I was an idiot and used a ROM found on xdadevelopers and each time I try to flash the ROM in CWRM it says installation aborted. I wiped and erased the phone before doing this.Basically i'm stuck with my Nexus 4 in CWRM without a ROM installed or a ROM that can be flashed without an errors. Is there a way to side-load a rom or access the phone in CWRM to add a new rom?
The rom is the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516389
Help is much appreciated, thanks.

Two choices (of many) but first, try flashing twrp, then try the rom. Or re-flash cwm and try again.

At first try flashing latest twrp img from fastboot mode and then try flashing the rom again.
You might want to give a try to the multi-rom twrp.
If it fails again you can always flash factory img.

Flash factory image, meaning restore the phone back to stock and removing the root/bootloader?
Right now that sounds more appealing to me than trying to figure all of this our to be honest.

[Q] Can't flash any rom using CyanogenDefy?

Hello there. First of all I am a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROMs. Q&As and Guides didn't help me...
I have a Defy + MB526 , rooted ( flashed sbf because I have bl7). Stock 2.3.6
I have installed latest 2nd init using the apk.
USB debugging enabled.
The problem is that I can't flash any zip from CyanogenDefy custom recovery( Accessed using android bootmenu at reboot).
I've wiped everything before trying to flash Cm 10.2 JB. It says error 7 installation aborted every time. I did try a bunch of other versions and roms.
I created a nandroid backup using the custom recovery but I couldn't use it to recover, first because of a md5 mismatch (which I fixed) and then because of another error at the end ( some stuff couldnt be recovered). When I boot up I can't open any app, it says " Application not installed". I've tried using the 2GB card that came with the phone, same thing happens. I ended up erasing everything
What am I doing wrong? Please help me
This is ny first android phone, never installed any custom ROM before but I read its harder for the Defy though.

Come on, 60 views and no replies? Any help would be very appreciated!

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I did root my phone about 2 years ago, but good to know such an app exists.
I didn't open the archives, I just pasted it on my phone's SD card. I did try again by formatting the card inside the phone and re downloading. Same thing happens.

SD Card does work fine.
In the meantime, I tried flashing a rom again. This time I get error status 0;
After that I've successfully flashed the latest twrp, wiped, tried to install but still status 0.
I'm trying to install the MoKee rom.
EDIT:
I tried installing CM 10.2.
I get the same errors like for MoKee:
