Hi guys. I wanted to install Kit Kat on my defy, follow instruction entered TWRP, nandroid backup, wipe everything except sdcard, install recovery, reboot and now I'm stucked in Android system recovery (3e) and dont know how to proced from here. I only have theses options:
1. Apply sdcard:update.zip
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
Under these it says:
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/caller
E: Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
When I apply sdcard:update.zip it says Faild to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory), which is normal as my update.zip is on /sdcard/ROM/update.zip.
I also tried to wipe cache partition but nothing happened.
Could someone help me?

Thank you for answers.
@leandrolutz - It was one that Quarx built, from 02.12.13 CM.
@thekguy - I had to flash SBF, now I'm on Android 2.2.2. I'll follow your instructions. Just have one question, should I install CWM or TWRP? I follow guide, in which I installed update-recovery.zip from TWRP after wiping all date except those on sd-card. then After that, I couldnt get into new recovery. Is this right order to update to KitKat?

SBF, root, 2ndinit. Then you install CM10 (4.1), reboot, install CM10.2 (4.3), reboot, install update-recovery.zip, REBOOT (without any wipe), install CM11 (4.4).
DO you want to use ART or DALVIK? :highfive:

You will need to use twrp, the one included with the respective build. From 4.3, you should flash recovery zip, reboot without wiping, and from recovery you should be able to flash kk
There's a button dedicated to thanks

Thanks all for your help. I installed 4.3 and after that flashed recovery where I made a mistake and wipe dalvik cache after instaling (did this before yours answers):crying:. After restart, I couldnt enter twrp recovery (as soon as I enter defy restarts), only bootmenu and stock recovery from there. Luckily I havent wiped system so I still have 4.3 installed. Then I tried to install recovery from GooManager (didn't make it), stock recovery where I get message: "Failied to verify whole-file signature. Signature verification failed. Installation aborted".
Is there any way to install twrp without having to do all from the begining (sbf, root...)?
Hey guys, problems again. Didnt find way to install recovery so I decided to do all steps (sbf, root, 10.1...) again.
First I entered bootloader, connected usb, RSD lite and flashed same sbf as I did few days ago. Unlike last time, this time it wont flash, RSD did his job (erasing flash memory, flashing code group...) and when it comes to reboting, in RSD is written finished, but defy didnt turn on, not even motorola logo on screen. Take out battery, try to get into stock recovery and bootloader (volume down and up+power on), but still nothing. Then tried other sbf, 3 od them (retail French) but same thing happened every time, dead screen). Only thing that points that tel.is alive is white led that turns on when I connect it to PC.
I cant understand why 2 days ago when I flashed sbf, everything was fine and this time it refuses do complete. Only difference is that this time it was installed Android 4.3 and last time 4.2.2.
Any suggestions.
If your current sbf isn't working, try dfp 231 or a sbf newer than your current one. It should get you at least to stock recovery, from where you can wipe data and revive your defy.
From 4.3, just flash update recovery, don't wipe or flash anything else. Reboot, and enter recovery once again. Now install 4.4 and it should work
Although, that should not have occurred just by dalvik wipe. Make sure the 4.3 build you use is recent
FYI you could have fixed recovery by extracting and overwriting bootmenu folder from zip

Hey thekguy, thank you very much. I managed to revive my defy with 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE and now I'm using Android 2.3.6. I'm reading another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820282 where it says that after flashing 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE, it should than be flashed with rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF.
Should I also flash this second SBF or go directly to 4.3?
Thanks again.
Root with framaroot, no need for 2nd sbf

Did you try deleting CM and GAPPS and redownloading? Maybe try a nightly or newer/older version. I had this happen to me with another rom, flashed a different version then flashed the most recent and it all went well. Hope this helps!
thanks for your answer but i figured out it was twrp.
somehow i was able to sideload philz latest cwm and was able to flash successfully cm11 and gapps

Awesome. Glad you got it sorted.
Good morning XDA fellows,
I am encountering a slight issue: I have encrypted my i9505 two days ago and I went blindly into installing the latest 5.0.2 CM 12 build. I have done a wipe and went into installing from zip which booted the CM setup but stopped at the Encryption Unsuccessful message. If I reboot, it starts the CM setup and stops at the same message.
If I try to mount the sdcard ( the phone's main memory ) it gives me an error and therefore I've put all the files on an external sd ( sdcard1 ).
What is the safest thing I should do in order to avoid a hard brick? Would you recommend me to flash a stock firmware with odin via download mode? Would the encrypted volume mess with odin ?
Yours sincerely,
Hello,
if you point to use CM don't encrypt your device, at least for now. You don't need to flash with Odin now, just go in recovery and format internal memory (/data and /data/media), then flash CM zip

Hi Antares, I receive an error when I try to format anything that has to do with the internal memory: E: Error mounting /data E: Error formatting /data . The same thing applies when I want to install any zip from the internal memoryE: Can't mount /sdcard. I suspect it has something to do with the encryption. I am not interested in recovering anything because I have already backed up before copying the setup files on both the internal and the external sd ( before it crashed ).
Thank you in advance,
EDIT: I have tried to flash it with jodin3 on a Macbook Pro and it didn't end up successfully. I have flashed using Odin 3.10 and the system booted up so that I could remove the encryption. Once done, I have flashed AntaresOne's CM12 build and everything works flawlessly. Thank you for your support!

In case of issues with my ROM write in its thread (Q&A one)
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
Please help me. My phone restart after 10 min, and enter in bootloop. Flash with Odin 4.4.2 (different rom), flash 5.0.1 (different rom), after 10 min restart and bootloop. Flash Philz Touch v6.58.7-jflte.tar flash ClockworkMOD Touch GT-I9505 v6.0.4.4 jfltexx.tar flash TWRP v2.8.6.0-jfltexx.tar and wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and this error:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/last_install
Format card...and nothing happening. How fix this? Please help me!
Find the I9505 PIT file and flash it, along with a ROM, through Odin. The PIT file will wipe and then partition the internal storage. Also, if you are installing an Android 5.0.1 ROM, it will take up to 30 minutes before you're able to use it, so when it boots, don't touch it.
It's good files pit I9505XXUHOA7 5.0.1 Lollipop Germany (Leaked) ?? JFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit ?? If not good, please give me a files PIT for I9505.
Then enter custom recovery Philz Touch v6.59.0 and wipe cache, wipe dalvik/art cache, factory reset,clean to install a new room,after flash rom
I9505XXUHOD7_I9505YBTHOD7_I9505XXUHOD7_HOME.tar.md5 (I9505YBTHOD7 5.0.1 Lollipop Germany (Black Edition) DBT) with ODIN v3.10 and JFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
In ODIN marked: Auto Reboot, Re-Partition and F.Reset Time. It's good ??? After flash 30 min no touch my phone, it's ok? Sorry for my english!
After 30 min...my phone restart and bootloop again ((
You live in Romania. The correct ROM for your device, based upon your location, is here. It's a Romanian Black Edition ROM. The PIT file can be found here.
When using a PIT file, it's not necessary to flash a custom recovery to wipe the internal storage, as the PIT file partitions the internal storage. To do that, it has to wipe the storage anyway. Your settings in Odin appear to be ok, so have at it.
P.S. When you do decide to install a custom recovery again, use TWRP. Both Philz and Clockworkmod are no longer being updated.
I try rom romania black edition with pit...nothing changed,phone restart and bootlop. ((
Take your phone to the service center.
Ok,, thx
