Is it possible to go from Stock ROM to CyanogenMod via this path:
1. Using Universial Androot to root
2. Install RomManager from the market
3. Install Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 from Rom Manager
4. Install CyanogenMod from RomManager
That would be very easy compared to using adb. And it does not require a PC like the various one click root methods.
It should work?
I am asking because these optiions are already in the cyanogenmod wiki (some of them put there by me)
And if it works without problems, it should probably be the recommended update path.
I might try it out myself, but it requires me to go back to stock rom, which I haven't done before. If I understand correctly, it is not possible to flash a 1.6 ROM from a new Clockworkmod recovery, I would have to go back to maverick or amon ra recevery?
I am running Cyanogenmod nb 12, and clockworkmod recovery 3.0.6 at the moment.
to get back to stock rom, you just have to connect your phone to the PC, and double click the .exe of the ROM
I am not using windows, and do not have a rom exe file. I rooted and flashed my phone via adb on linux. I do have a nandroid backup of my stock room after it was rooted though.
Then flash back the old amonra recovery, before restoring your backup because it won t work with the latest clockworkmod

Ok thanks, I just heard from some one at cyanogen that using RomManager to flash the recorvery on a rooted stock rom won't work. So I guess the update path in the first post is not valid...

Uhm... I think not: is missing the "insmod tattoo-hack.ko" and it will fail the "remount" operation (and then the flash).
IMHO.

Yes, I think you are right. Stock rom needs the tattohack loaded before flashing a recovery.

Well, i had a CyanogenMod "installed" on my tatto, and i flashed it back to the stock 1.6 rom without installing anything, without problem.
i guess that's the question, isn't it?
I used the method you're saying, Androot+Flash Recovery from Rom Manager to the latest ClockworkMod and unfortunately it's not working.
I don't know if it is because the new clockworkmod but my advice is don't use this method. I posted some questions in other threads but nobody could help me.
I reflashed Clockwork several times even to 3.0.6, but the startup recovery menu still the same.
Hello,
I would know if we can downgrade the Defy+ with the last Quarx's nightly with the custom kernel to install CyanogenMod 7.2 stable and if we can take (with a data backup in recovery of course) the data from the actual version of CM10 and restore on CM 7.2 stable without problem like bootloop ?
Thank you in advance
Backup your /data/app folder
You can copy /data/app to /sdcard to save your downloaded apks.
Not sure if they are going to work.

Thank but I know already the manipulation in order to do a backup and restore.
I try to downgrade to CM7.2 stable, there is the battery problem with "?" icon, I installed the battery fix for CM7 but I re installed my backup of CM10, in fact in my precedent question I did a fault : I would to downgrade from CM10 to my rom stock's backup before the installing of CM10.
So I try also to downgrade to my stock rom's backup, same problem with unknown battery I also had the battery fix but when I try to restore my CM10's data, the stock rom's recovery doesn't see the files for restore my data, it says "no file data in this backup, no .ext3 ..."
I think the older recovery doesn't recognize the file types of CM10 recovery.
Thanks for your response !
Cannot enter recovery mode
I also want to downgrade from quarx´s CM 10 to CM7.2 or 9, but i can´t access to recovery mode. I´ve tried the button combination, and the recovery mode in android, but none works. Is there any tutorial on how return to something like stock just to star all over?
Install 2ndinit
Try installing 2ndinit.

Yes you can downgrade, I did it yesterday only.
For the downgrade to CM9:
-Wipe Data /Fullwipe
-Install the Cm9 nightly you want (Step by step guide is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647)
-install Gapps
-Format Cache/Dalvik Cache

Hey all,
I RSD'd the other day and then re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader (yes, I now know it stays unlocked) and flashed CWM v6.0.1.4 recovery.
Now none of the custom ROMs will boot, though they install correctly in recovery. From CyanogenMod to Carbon to AOSP, it just sits on the boot animation... I've let it sit for up to half an hour.
I'm wiping data and cache, though CWM says E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/pretty-much every subfolder, but that doesn't seem like a big deal...
So what am I doing wrong, here, any ideas? It doesn't matter if I install the ROMs and GAPPS from external SD, right?
I RSD'd to 96.15.66, the one where I can unlock the bootloader, and the only ROM I can get to boot is Clean Rom (basically stock with tweaks of course).

are you mounting system first? never used CWM on this device, but in TWRP, they install just fine. I believe that most devs use TWRP (although, it should not make a difference).
Thanks for the reply, actually I have two cwm recovery images, and after the RSD I flashed the "wrong" one... After flashing the other, I was able to flash and boot just fine.

Hi Im not sure if Im having this exact issue but I have been having problem since I used Utility 1.20 and re-rooted and re-unlocked my phone. Every ROM I have tried has random reboot issue. Can you tell me exactly how you did it correctly?
Also I didnt understand the two recovery image concept. I was having safe strap before and had issue with stock partition and was using slot1 partition as daily rom. And I couldnt flash any other ROM. So I had to go back to stock with Utility 1.2 and start over. Right now Im having liquidsmooth ROM with CWM recovery. Still having those reboots.

This thread was started by me when I had problem with flashing ROMs in the stock slot using safestrap. Rikrong suggested I use Utility so that I go back to stock and start all over again. So I did. I guess thats how it should have been done?

what I would suggest doing is going into SS via the app (not via recovery once the phone boots up) and click the uninstall button.
then, return to stock as rik suggested.... then root, then install TWRP, then you'll be able to slap on whatever ROM you like.

Thats interesting. I dont see safe strap or the rom i was using with SS (energy rom). So then how can i erase SS and get a fresh start? I was assuming Matts Utility already did that for me and I was on a fresh start.

safestrap could still be there if uninstalled incorrectly. trying re-installing it, then uninstall it within its own app. this worked for me.

Hi! I have some doubts to install custom ROM on Motorola Defy+:
When I install CM on Galaxy Note I directly download from CM website, but when go to look for Defy+ I found only the Defy (not +) and the most newest version is 7, instead 9, 10.1 and 10.2 that I can look searching here in XDA. What is the reason of this difference?
Exist any method that if I not like keep the CM can go back to my Defy+ original ROM and unrooted?
Actually the Defy+ have Android 2.3.5 with the operator ROM.
Thanks for your help!

The Defy/Defy+ has no official support from CM after CM7.2. Quarx2k maintains unofficial and highly stable ROMs for the device, despite its limitation of locked bootloader.
Root with framaroot, then install the 2ndinit app. Open the app, and press install 2ndinit bootmenu. Then reboot, go to recovery (press volume down when blue LED lights up) and take a nandroid backup. It is possible to go back to stock via flashing SBF using RSDLite.

When I try install the ZIP of CM 10.2 ( cm-10.2-20130801-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip ) the process abort and show me the message:
"(status 0) Installation aborted"
I read that for this error message, and the first time, I need install using DUAL RECOVERY (TWRP). I donwload the ZIP of this DUAL RECOVERY (CWM_TWRP_v3-signed.zip) but now start the problem, after install OK, I can boot again the device and see again the Android Bootmenu, but each time that I select CUSTOM RECOVERY the photo show a blank screen and later the Motorola logo and operator logo loop...
Here I don´t know if this is correct or I miss press something in any step, but I can´t boot again in CW recovery or TWRP...
I turn on the Defy+ normally and see that after wipes, the phone boot normally in a clean stock 2.3.5 if this info is usefull...

Ups, this mean than now I need install again from the 2.3.5 the 2ndinit to get back the CW recovery, right?
After this I need:
- Install the CM 10.1 from CW
- Install the CM 10.2 from CW or also here I need install before the DualRecovery and from TW install the CM 10.2?
Thanks for your help again!

Anyone have the link of correct zip of gaaps? I already download one for 4.3 from goo.im but show me a error when I try install.

UPDATE: I already download a pack from goo.im labeled as: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
install done, but after turn on the phone I look that this pack not have Google Play, can be possible?
Phone work perfect but not connect to my local operator no signal, no 3G I select from settings-- Advanced -- Baseband selection -- and America Argentina Claro 3.4.2-107.9 that is my local operator. I reboot, but nothing work Any idea?

Fixed this I change by the 6.14.7 that no have the label of my operator and work!!!
Now look that all work fine after I install one pack of gapps called gapps-jb4.3-20130813-minimal_edited_20130814.zip from this post. All look good but the strange is that I need install all apps manually, not autoinstall when I login. Maybe because is a "minimal" pack, right?
Now I try restore some data from old apps that I made a backup with Titanium, but now titanium tell me that I not have ROOT access. This CM 10.2 ROM lack of root? How I can root again this ROM to can use titanium?
Thanks again!

Yes, the root access is a bug. To enable, go to developer options, root access, disable and enable again.

Hello,
I currently have installed CM 10.1-20130709-NIGHTLY-mb526 (Android 4.2.2, 2.6.32.9-AeroKernel), but I had a problem yesterday (phone would not boot).
So I did a Cache/Dalvik wipe, and after reboot it optimized all the apps but looped at "opening apps".
So today I decided to reinstall the above mentioned rom. But after installation it turned out to be defect somehow (e.g. the unlock screen will never appear, altough it is activated; in the swipe down menu the right-above button won't appear/won't work; browser won't turn on; home button does not work etc.).
So I decided to give KitKat a try. I visited this page by Quarx and I would begin with the Recovery Update. I put the update recovery zip on the sd card and install it via TeamWinRecovery.
After reboot, the TeamWinRecovery won't turn on and it simpy reboots. So now I am stuck. How do I install/recover TeamWinRecovery (or any necessary Recovery to install KitKat?).
After the installation I can simply install the latest KitKat rom, right? Or is there anything else necessary (kernel update etc.?). If I don't like KitKat, can I simply flash the latest CM10.2 rom?
Thank you very much!
Edit: The first rom i woul like to try is cm-11-20140117-NIGTHLY-mb526 (this is the KitKat, right?) and if this is not stable enough for me I would install cm-10.2-20131020-NIGHTLY-mb526 (Jelly Bean, right?). The reason I want to change is that I do not think the CM10.1 I have installed is neither stable nor perfomant.
Edit2: I tried the GooManager but it did not work! After reboot into Recovery screen stays black and reboots again.

Hello, i had a similar problem and i finally flashed a new sbf then CM10.1 and after that CM10.2 and it worked. As for recovery the only way that worked for me is with cwm through 2init.apk. CM11 seems unstable atm...

SBF is the only option. The reason why CM10.1 didn't work as intended is that you must have used full gapps.

Hi,
I think I used the minimal Gapps linked in the thread! And no, sbf is not an option right now as I do not have acces to a Windows based PC where I have rights to install software!
Any other solution how I can restore/install TeamWinRecovery? Should I try 2ndinit?
Thanks anyway and regards kernel
There is a method through ADB explained by @YetAnotherForumUser in CM11 thread by Quarx. This if you can enter in boot menu.

Yes is correct. You must start from sbf when you have access to a computer.
