Hello
I've tried to upgrade my Defy (525, green lens) to CM10(jelly bean), but im stuck in a boot loop!
My phone had originally Android 2.1 installed, one year ago i successfully rooted it and Android 2.2 successfully.
What i've tried:
- load into 2nd init, wipe cache/wipe data
- install kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed
- install CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525
- wipe dalvik cache(this does not promp for confirm, and prints nothing to the console, is this normal?), wipe data
- reboot. Now its stuck in an endless boot loop.
I can enter bootmenu/bootloader/2nd init/stable recovery. I can share here the SD card, so i can copy stuff to my phone
But as i turn on the phone, the red moto logo appears, the top LED is blue, then green, then reboot.
Did i miss something? (I've read somewhere about flashing SBF, do i need to do it?)
EDIT: I've tried to install cm-7-20120930-NIGHTLY-jordan.zip, but this gets stuck at the moto logo forever...Can i someohw see the bootlogs to fund out the problem?
Thanks
EDIT2: Solved it!
1. installed back Nordic froyo with RSD lite, rooted again
2. instaaled CM7 with this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
3. installed CM10 with the instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
dunno what went wrong for the 1st time, maybe upgrading from 2.2->4.1 does not work...
What went wrong
You have answered yourself. In the link to install Cm10, you will see the instruction requires you to flash froyo kernel.
For MB525 builds:
1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe Cache and go to Advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash froyo kernel
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip.
6) Flash Gapps.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart.
Hey guys, so i'm trying to install the following items:
-SlimLp F2FS (Android L)
-M-Kernel_a73.zip
and
-Slim_full_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150213-482
I use NRT to get into TWRP and from there I follow the following steps (my system is already in F2FS mode which i reformatted from the existing Ex?? one)
Clean Flash:
Wipe syste, data, cache, dalvik cache
Flash the rom
Flash Slim gapps or L Gapps (IDK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAAPS AND L GAAPS IS and they take me ultimately to the same link so wtf)
Reboot
The main issue is, after the tablet reboots and opens up I don't see the play store, i don't see ANY google items and I can't install anything. It seems to me that the GAAPS zip isn't being installed properly. I've already installed the main ROM, then GAAPS, then the M kernel and nothing seems to work. I don't see any playstore icons even in the app drawer. Can someone please explain to me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks!
Can someone please help?
bump for a response
This is my first post on XDA developers and let me start by saying thanks to all developers for all those great ROMS out there. Have been a user of your modifications since day one. Recently though, I have been having problems with my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-900F). With the latest CM13 nightlies/Open GApps installed my screen keeps flickering when I push the Home button or On/Off button. I have TWRP installed as custom recovery and have done several clean installs with the same end results (the screen keeps flickering). I suspect this is related to the CM13 nightlies because it doesn't happen when I install a different ROM (say MIUI). It's driven me crazy because , although I can use the phone when I'm quick enough to press on an app while it's flickering, it takes forever to get out. Any help is appreciated!

Hey all,
Phone is new to me, t-mo version. Did the international conversion, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP 3.3.1.1.img. All with minimal issues. Installed the 20200121 nightly of LOS successfully, but it powered off a few minutes after getting through the setup menu. Bootlooped. I may have gotten it out of the bootloop with the vol up+down trick from the msmdownloadtool trick, or something, cause I got the screen to turn off and left it for the night.
Tonight, the phone was totally dead, but I was able to start over with the (patched) msmtool I used initially. All good. Went through the same steps and got TWRP and LOS installed. This time I used last nights nightly 20200123. All set for a minute, before it bootlooped again.
Here's some details that might be useful:
The phone powered off after unplugging it. This is when the bootloop started, I can't be sure it was after dissconnecting each time, but at least the last time. The battery was >80%. I also managed to get it to boot into LOS after the most recent bootloop, for a few minutes, and it powered off without being connected or disconnected. So probably not related.
I did a system wipe, along with the format, as recommended in the LOS installation steps from them
The system wipe maybe wasn't a good idea??
I tried to sideload LOS.zip, which seemed to work fine according to my terminal, but it warned me that I had no OS installed when I went to reboot. So I adb pushed LOS and installed. I got the same no OS warning, but rebooted anyway this time. LOS started up fine, for a few minutes, before powering off and then looping.
Could I have 2 instances conflicting??
Nothing else installed yet, not root, magisk, or anything yet.
I shut it down this time with a vol up + power, which worked. I'm done for tonight, but I would appreciate any ideas on what may be causing this so I can give it a third go tomorrow.
Thanks!
try this

just follow install guide download latest linageos and gapps from open gapps. and latest magisk and after flash gapps if you cannot sign into a google account then you need to factory reset both slot in system settings menu and then just reinstall magisk and kernel settings modules etc
---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------
just switch slots in cmd or via twrp and reboot system and factory reset wipe all via the settings in the booted system, not twrp
I'm a little slow..
I got the phone back to factory with the msmtool, so I'm ready to do this! I get the general idea, but for a few of these, can you ELI5. Thanks so much for taking the time to help me out.

fastboot boot twrp.img
Install twrp installer. Do I just find the zip in the file structure in twrp and install? I'm at this step in twrp and I don't see how to install it. Previously I had `adb push twrp.img /storage/` so that I had a file I could find and install. If it's already there just from `fastboot boot twrp.img`, I can't seem to find it.
--solved this by pushing the twrp-intaller.zip to /storage, and then installing. It did the expected installation to both a/b
Mount all partitions / wipe / advanced / check all boxes & wipe all / format.
- - Reboot twrp - -
I went to `mount` and checked all the boxes. Then went back to `wipe advanced` and checked all those boxes. Now I'm stuck at the fastboot screen and can't boot or start. :crying:
I can't do a `fastboot boot twrp.img either. Any suggestions before I blow it away with the msmtool again??????
Mount all partitions / wipe / advanced / check all boxes & wipe all / format.
Reboot twrp
(DONT BE MOUNTING OR UNMOUNTING ANYTHING MANUALY ANYMORE!) How was I doing it wrong? Or do you mean that these steps just now are the only mounting that should be done?

Not sure what you mean by this part here. I wasn't planning on installing gapps. I'm confused about the reseting both slots. Is the idea that I did the install twice above, so that it's on both a/b slots and I'd have to reset both if there's a problem?
