i've just flashed cm7 on my defy, the phone starts (with the cm7 logo) and then it asks me to do those things in the beginning (touch the android logo, sign up for gmail) but before i can do anything the cm7 logo pops up, and then it asks me to touch the android logo all over again, and it repeats in a cycle, i tried flashing again but the problem remains, how can i fix this? and i've just found out another problem \= when i try to restore my backup it says "Error while flashing boot image" and im pretty sure my battery is charged, how can i fix any of these problems? \=
try to flash new cm7 rc0 rom /
before flash it please make wipe data and cash too .
hope it work fine this time .
attention u cant update your phone from 2.1 to cm7
u must flash 2.2 rom and then update to cm7
I did wipe the data and cache, and i flashed from 2.2.2
but it still happens, i tried flashing rc1, does it matter if its rc1 or rc0?
i've read somewhere that i need to flash a different kernel, what exactly does it mean? im kinda new to this stuff
CM7 comes with its own kernel though, so that shouldn't be the issue here.
A kernel controls much of the hardware on your device, such as your voltages, min/max cpu, wifi, bluetooth etc... You flash them through recovery like you did for a rom, or use kernel manager from the market.
You can look for a kernel that works on Android 2.3 for AOSP on the Defy. Kernels are device specific.
Hope this helps a bit.

I think he wasn't talking specifically about defy phones (look at his signature) The kernels you found on the defy forum are of course appropriate for the defy, no need to worry. Besides, it doesn't seem like a kernel problem at all, more like an application problem. Are you sure you clear cache and data? Most data in android phones is stored on a database format,so you could have incompatible data format being read on your CM7 install and crashing the application.
BTW, I found rc0 to be really stable, other than camera at low ligth conditions, it's great.

i tried again with the rc0 but i get the same thing =[ this is very frustrating, and of course im sure i wiped, i did it 3 times to make sure but it still didnt work and it also screwed up my backup
for update to cm7
1- update your defy to ofical 2.2 with rsd- lite
2- after flash 2.2 u can update to cm7 or motoginger rom

For two months I have tried to install Cm6 and currently shadow rom. Every time after install from clockwork or nandroid I get the same bootloop splash htc screen. I have installed other roms with no problem....there must be a common issue with cm6 & shadowrom. I have wiped full, cache, davlik and even formated system cache etc. I have a 2.x radio kouche kernel and newest hboot. I've tried changing sd cards etc. No avail......any suggestions would be appreciated.
SamuraiXDroid
I would try wiping dalvik/cache before the flash, flashing, then wiping dalvik/cache again before the first boot of the new rom. I would also suggest trying kings kernel or koush's test kernel by flashing them from cwm recovery directly after the rom.
Aside from that, I could only guess that you might have a corrupt area preventing a full install of your rom/kernel which isn't too uncommon but which I have no experience with. I've heard there are ways to get around this by building the kernel manually or by restoring it from another nandroid (say king's on a ruby nandroid? though I'd venture to guess Ruby would have the same problem), but it seems fairly difficult.
I'm not a developer, but I hope my suggestions can hope point you in the right direction. I'm using the latest nightlies of CM6 and they are awesome. I hope you get the chance to try it.
Thanks jaguox for such a quick reply. So I tried this.method on both cm6 and shadowrom. Wiped full wiped cache wiped davlik. Installed rom and gapp and kernel. Tried koush and kingkernal....wiped davlik...cm6 boot loop.....shadowrom brings me to android touch screen initial setup. I try to touch screen but my phone dosnt respond....screen freeze. Sussesful installs I've had are sky raider virtuous most.sense roms...the only froyo I have that works is ruby...my fav right now. I would love to have cm 6....I've posted on this forum a few times as well as cyanogen forum. I hope im not the only one with this.issue.......
SamuraiXDroid
Here are some more ways to potentially solve your problem. Again, I am not a developer so I am just mentioning a few solutions that might work, I am not entirely sure what is wrong with your device. I'm just trying to help you hammer away from all sides.
Are you wiping data manually too? People have noted success before where they had none before by wiping data/dalvik/cache twice before flash and once after. Not sure why this would solve anything but it is worth a try.
Try installing cyanogen without GApps (I do this anyways with the nightlies since it seems to be corrupt for some reason) and then installing them later if it boots correctly.
I use the Paid rom manager for the ease of use for nightlies, but here is a web link to the nightlies which you can try if you don't have paid: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc They are more up to date and stable at this point than 6.0.2 was (for me at least). I am using build 100 and have tried the packaged in kernel, koush test 6, and adrynalyne's, and all work well.
Adrynalyne has another kernel for AOSP roms you can try: http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79
You can also try using the phone to reformat one of your SD cards just to eliminate that potential pitfall, though I don't think you would be getting that far anyways if it was not formatted correctly (Menu>Settings>SD card). This will wipe any data currently on your SD card.
Now, I would wait for someone else to provide confirmation that this should work since I haven't done it personally, but you could also try restoring boot.img from a Ruby Nandroid with KK1/2 installed (Install Ruby, install KK, make nandroid backup, install CM6 w/o Gapps, nandroid>advanced restore>select ruby nandroid>Restore boot). This should restore a working AOSP kernel for CM6/shadow to use however I am unaware if there are any other consequences. I also suggest KK or adrynalyne since I do not know what Ruby uses and KK and adrynalyne have both worked for me on CM6. The reason I think the kernel is not installing correctly is because your touchscreen is not working and AOSP roms use a different driver than sense roms for it. I could be completely off base however.
Also, out of curiosity, which radio version exactly are you using?
Hi Jaguox,
Thanks again for the help here is what I tried. I do own the market app ClockworkMod Revovery v2.5.0.5/rom manager. I came from Ruby 1.1.1 with the newest kouch Kernal and radio 2.15.00.07.28. I then wiped data, cache and dalvik twice. I then installed cm nightley 96&98/shadowrom (two seperate installs of course for each rom). I then installed Adrynalyne/Kingkernal kernals and wiped dalvik cache once more. I did not install gapps and let the rom boot. Interesting enough the roms bypassed the intial setup and booted to the home screen. But both roms with both kernals still would not let me have touch access to the screen. So I could see the roms but I couldnt touch them...aaaahhhhhhh the irony. I also tried a reformatted sd card.....same outcome. One time out of the hundred I have tried in the past two months allowed me to initiate my account in a cm nightly and access apps. I rebooted after a fix permission and got a boot loop. That was the farthest I have ever made it. Its strange that both these two roms that share the same dna give my phone the same effect. I appreciate anyones help in solving this mystery.
Thanks in advance!

is this the same as beta3?
CM7 Nightly ROM zip is a little bit smaller,maybe some little fixes
and updates there,but don`t know,not tested at the moment.
Nightly ROM has also the the other kernel "2.6.29.6-flykernel-12pre2"
Beta 3 has "2.6.29.6-flykernel-12a" kernel!
But Flykernel-12a is newer than Flykernel-12pre2, isn't it? Also, could anybody tell me how nightlies work? Is it like you get updates pushed to your device through the CyanogenMod menu, like OTA? Please explain lol
12a should be newer,but don`t know why now 12pre2!
Maybe more optimized for CM based ROMs.
You can ask erasmux:

12a will be used soon if I read the commits at github:
https://github.com/loxK/android_device_htc_hero/commit/53b03bf186cd4a4d47b3604cd6290e8dc8cfdb1b
I believe it was something about CM asking for IPv6 to be build as module, while in 12a this is included statically (straight into the kernel).

I second this question. I've never used nightlies before. Could someone please explain how they work?
Download and flash them. No OTA update (but its a great idea).
Wipes in between are not necessary but sometimes you need them.
Not every new nightly is better then the last one (performance).

yes, woudl be recovery and your wiping within the recovery OR it could be a previous rom or something you did while using a previous rom that has somehow messed up one or more files on the phone. there are parts of the phone's memory that can sort of seem to get stuck. I can't explain more as I have no further details other than first hand experience with this phenomenon.
wiping several times in a rom, or wiping fully (all types of wipes in recovery menu) then flashing a totally different rom (like a 2.1 sense rom) then wiping fully and flashing the rom you want to use could maybe fix it - if in fact this is the cause of your problem.
try wiping ONLY dalvik cache AFTER flashing the rom. i use recovery 1.6 and everything works.

Hey everyone,
Just hope to make things a bit easier for all fellow aussies trying to install Cyanogen 7 on there Telstra Defy. Links and attachments at the bottom.
First thing is, so far as i can tell, 2nd-init does not run Clockwork recovery properly from the telstra stock SBF. On this ROM you will probably get the "unable to mount SDcard" error.
Also do NOT install clockwork recovery during any part of this, it comes with
2nd-init and does not need to be installed seperately (can cause problems if you do)
This is the series of steps I took to get it working.
1. Copy Defy-Cyanomod 7 Beta and Google Apps onto SDcard
2. Root phone with SuperOneClick 1.7 (1.8 doesnt seem to work)
3. Install 2nd-init (App is on market or below)
4. Reboot phone twice
5. Use RSD Lite and flash the Official Froyo Korean v3.4.2-74 fixed SBF
(This ROM allows you to downgrade back to the stock Telstra ROM and also
allows you to install CM7 from 2nd-init+custom recovery)
6. Reboot phone (2nd-init will still be installed after this SBF is flashed)
Your phone will now go into a Motorola boot loop. (this is ok)
7. Let the phone cycle through 2 complete loops.
(CM7 seems more stable once I did this)
8. On the third cycle enter 2nd-init (Volume Down when blue light is on)
9. Enter custom recovery from 2nd-init
10. WIPE Data/Cache
11. Install Defy-Cyanogen 7 from SDcard
12. Reboot phone and let CM7 load up
13. Reboot again and enter 2nd-init+custom recovery and install Google
Apps from SDcard
14. Enjoy some CM7 goodness
Thanks to everyone that made these things possible.

I'm running cm7 on my telstra,defy. At this stage no problems, only thing was i had already flashed a non-downgradable sbf. But for warranty purposes i can still go back to telstra by flashing a fixed telegraph Sgt and restoring with stock telegraph nandroid backup.

I would be intetested so see what a stock Telstra one says.
For now I've returned to Beta3 CM7. I had basically done the same as you to install, only difference is I used this fixed sbf, 3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR

Hey, first of all thanks heaps for making this guide, thanks to you CM7 is finally running on my Defy. I have one problem though and just wanted to see if anyone else did: I can't play youtube on my Defy at all (through the app or m.youtube.com).
Is everyone else having this issue?
*Edit* I've seen a lot of forum posts from mid-last year relating to this, is this issue still unresolved or could this be a bug in the Defy CM7 port?
I've discovered that it will play youtube (both wifi and 3G) but it will only play HQ videos... While inconvenient, I can work with that
Thanks for the how-to+

For the idiots like me out there installing 2nd-init from the market isnt enough you have to run the file aswell by installing it from inside the 2nd-init program itself, i needed to reset my phone after using super one click for 2nd-init to be granted "superuser status" so it would run properly.
Also once you've chosen the cryogen mod file from the bootloader you can then go back to install the google apps file.
After stuffing up the 2nd init program I needed to reflash the origional telstra files, then repeat the guide.
All seems good now, and thanks alot for the guide. I'm sure i would have really botched it up with out it.

Whatever I try, using System Recovery/Clockwork Recovery, when I boot up the phone it's still UK 3.4.3-11 Froyo, but now with a red motorola logo (Nordic firmwire I flashed I suppose) .
When wiping in recovery I get these errors: "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)" and "error mounting /sd-ext/!".
I've create a FAT (should this be FAT32?), Ext2 and Linux Swap partition on my SD Card.
My original aim was to install CM7 from Quarx. Here's what I did:
Stock Defy UK (Other than root)
Used clockwork recovery to wipe and update to CM7
Booted fine (CM7/2.3), tried to then install gapps as an update.zip, then got stuck on boot at "M" screen on every boot
Used RSD lite to flash 3.4.3-11 UK with Blur
Superoneclick etc., tried to install CM7 again, had no effect
Used RSD lite to flash 3.4.2_177 Nordic - comes up with red logo, but hasn't updated to the actual blurless froyo
Tried again to install CM7, had no effect, still have the 2 errors on wiping
I've also found that when using stock recovery, it no longer does anything when I press the bottom right of the screen, it just stays at the green robot screen, I have to remove the battery.
I did get an app2sd error, which was why I partitioned the SD card using Clockwork recovery (bad move?), I then did it on my PC instead with an SD card adapter.
The phone's not bricked, since I've got a working 2.2 rom, however I've no clue what I've done to make it like it is now, and I can't install CM7 using clockwork recovery and the default recovery doesn't work.
I think fixing those errors might do the trick? Any help would be appreciated.
I am also not able to install quarx rom, tried several times it does not boot and I had to reflash the sbf to get the phone working. Btw I do no have sd partition.
What I did was from cloclwork I tried restore, shall it be install from zip. No idea why I cannot get it running. I have nordic 005 at the moment

...maybe you guys should start to read a little more before attempting flashing any ROM...
If you would have done that, maybe you would have noticed that some people warned about some mounting of the SD card problems in some instances (I don't remember the specifics at this time..I beleive had to do with Super1click version used to root)
And most importantly:
that for CM7 installation instructions ask you to use '2ndinit' recovery and NOT CWM.... In fact you should even avoid having CWM recovery installed before starting the process...
I'm a noob too guys, I sometimes appreciate the help I can get from a post here. But I try my best to find existing answers and read as much as I can on the subject first. Obviously, you guys did not do your homework on this one.

I did in fact read around before I started, obviously in the wrong places or not enough. I've been pretty naive but all the guides I saw recommended that recovery, I must have missed the posts about 2ndinit (which sounds a lot easier). In fact I hardly read the actual CM7 thread since it's around 190 pages long.
It's interesting you noted superoneclick as the first time it worked and I used z4root.
I think for now I'll just use what I've got, which is ultimately better than what I started with (2.1), it's just a bit worrying as those errors I'm getting seem to suggest I've messed up the internal storage; and the default recovery won't work.
Probably installing a beta CM7 wasn't the best idea anyway since I'm very new to this.

Few n00b questions.
Firstly, how do i flash a nightly on my phone? lets say im running ofw 2.2 SEA edition? Do i follow the same procedure as if to flash RC1... do i also need to flash gapps similarly.
Secondly, are the links on quarxs' CM7 for defy thread up-to-date? or are there newer versions of gapps and nightlies floating around somewhere
Third, i have noticed that there is an issue with network and wi-fi when i flash cm7 RC1 over the nordic sbf. when i go back to official 2.2 SEA there is no hassle at all. Since i live in india i was wondering if that was the issue. I can easily take care of the network problem using "baseband switcher for defy" but it still doesnt help the wi-fi problem.
My question is.. will using the new BOOTSEA nightly solve this problem. I am assuming from the name is boot"SEA" im assuming its built southeastasia specific.
Fourth, ive used CM7 RC1 for a while and apart from the wifi issue i got problems with camera and video... it absolutely doesnt work, wether it be in potrait or landscape or whatever setting... the app just force closes. Any fixes for that.. ive got green lens.
please help!!! and i hope other similar questions can be added by members here so as to make this thread an FAQ for distressed users like me.
Thanks
Flash a Froyo ROM.
wipe all (data/cache/Davilk)
Test all works
Root your defy
Install 2d_init
Reboot twice (i dont know its necesary yet)
wipe all (its no necesary but for me is the only way works ok finaly the CM7)
Go into clockwork recovery. After reboot wait until led go blue then push vol down
Install zip from memory card (You must copy on a RCO o RC1)
Reboot
Test your phone
If you want, use same way for install nigthlys
sorry for my english
good look
