[Q] How to install the newst Nightly? - Defy General

Hello
i have RC1 and i want to install the latest Nightly, but with reseting every thing because my rc1 got slow...

if i flash it again and than install cm7 from the begining will it work?

if u r on rc1 then just install the zip from sdcard through custom recovery..no need to wipe anything..u wont loose any data..
but if u want a fresh CM7 without any problem then u can start from the scratch

in recovery i have 3 options:
-latest recovery
-stable r.
-stock r.
which do i need to choose? latest?

use stable recovery to be on safer side..any recovery will work but i always use stable recovery

and what is "scratch" because i want that option because my old rc1 crashed totally so it is not able to boot neither...
will it work if i start everything again from flashing?

i meant to flash the nordic froyo rom and then install CM7 on it..
everything is given in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
just follow the instructions
All the best

thx it worked next time i'll use the other version

If you are coming from CM6, I would wipe, cache, dalvik and data when you flash CM7. CM7 is updated "nightly," hence the term. The only other file you need to flash to run CM7 is Gapps. Just make sure you flash the latest gapps (0307) if you are flashing nightly 14. You should flash them in the same recovery session.
Once you are on CM7, when new nightly's come out, you can flash them on top of your current CM7, but it is best to do a nandroid backup before you do in case it messes something up. I also always wipe cache and dalvik before flashing over, although I don't think you have to. Also, if you flash, say nightly 15 over nightly 14, you need to flash gapps again in the same recovery session, otherwise your google apps won't run properly.
where can i find the latest gapps (0307) i cant find it

[Q] PLEASE HELP... cyanogenmod 7 nightly question.

can I just flash the CM7 nightly # or do I have to flash CM7 stable then flash the nightly over it? (I'm coming from a totally different ROM).
You do not need to install CM7 stable. You can go right ahead and flash a nightly. Yet, being that you're coming from a completely different rom, you need to reboot into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card and then flash the CM nightly. Be sure to do a nandroid backup of your current setup first in case you don't like CM7.

Installing Roms

Hi i just wanted to know the easiest way to install a new rom on my defy. I have cm7 currently installed. Let me get this straight everytime you want to install a new rom you have to use rsd lite you cant just install zip from sd card through recovery? seems like a long process not really worth going through just to test a few roms? is this right or is there an easier way? thanks
If the base OS required is the same (meaning the new ROM works on the same kernel) then you can simply switch ROM's via Custom Recovery (CWM), but you have to wipe data and cache to avoid bootloops or other unexpected errors. If anything goes wrong and you mess up the bootmenu or the CWM module then you must flash the SBF again. I've successfully switched between CM7 and MIUI without flashing again the Froyo CEE.
Thanks that clears up a little bit, but how do i know if a rom uses the same kernel?

You welcome! Generally the ROM dev's mentions which base ROM should be used, if not you always can ask or read others comments, if any.
Ok cool thanks im with it now. Do u know which rom cm7 rc 1 is based on?

If I'm not wrong the latest nightly builds are based on Froyo CEE or SEA. If you install RC1v2 or one nightly with BOOTXXX on it then it will upgrade also your kernel so you don't have to worry. See more details on CM7 topic.

[Q] Virtuous Quattro installation on desire HD

hello,
can someone please provide the procedure to install Virtuous Quattro on desire HD or a link to it ? is there a need to install any specific Radio /kernel? my HD is on default Radio, but custom MIUI ROM
How to:
Hi as you have a custom rom already it makes it simple as you are already rooted.
1 - Download the ROM and place it on the root of your microSD - Link for the Virtuos Quattro thread
2 - Also Download the Kernel to correct WIFI issues - Link and place it on the root of your microSD
3 - Power down your device and enter on recovery mode by holding volume down and power button at the same time. As soon as it prompt press volume up in 5 sec.
4 - Before flashing the ROM you will have to, for safety, make a backup of your existing ROM. You will find the option in the Recoverymode;
5 - After the backup do a FULL WIPE and it is very important to do in all data, cache and Dalvik (found in advanced options);
6 - Now install zip from MicroSD and look for the ROM.
7 - After installing the rom reboot the system - After rebooting power down into recovery mode again.
8 - Install the Kernel you download following the same procedure of item 6;
9 -Once again Reboot and enjoy.
I am not sure but I would try to avoid using any kind of app and data backup. Start from screch (I did it and had absolutely no problem).

Turner!
hi Turner,
thanks for the instructions,
apart from installation of the fix for the wifi, is it needed to install any other kernel for this ROM to work? If so, at what stage the kernel (not the wifi fix) should be installed ? also, is it again like step 6 for the installation of the kernel?
As far as I am concerned you wouldn't need any kernel prior for the rom.. I came from stock to android revolution to cm 7.1 and then virtuous. I didn't install any specific kernel prior to flashing virtuos rom and it worked great.
Try flashing and then comeback here telling us the results.
A quick question: did you flash any kernel before the miui rom you have?
i haven't flashed any kernel or radio before, but have been flashing different ROMs. was bit confused when i read somewhere that for virtuous ROM you need to flash a kernel. Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Let me try as per the steps mentioned by you and see the results..
User30 if you're like me and uncounter a little problem with the Wifi not working or the sound not working either, here's a little trick;
1. go get the .zip here : dev-host.org/k8rsgpxf5o2y/lordmodUEv8.8-ICS-BFS-b7.zip
It's lord kernel, really nice and work fine.
2. Put it on your SD card, *don't extract it*
3. you'll need to clear the cache when you're in the clockwork on ace hack.
4. Install the .zip using the same way that you install your ROMs
if it didn't work here's the modification
1. get the .zip of the Kernel and the one of the ROM
2. Put them on the SD card
3. Make a FULL wipe and be sure to Wipe the cache too
4. Install the ROM.
5. Install the Kernel
6. Everything should work perfectly
I had some problem with some Kernel, no idea why. The one I just gave the link to is working perfectly and didn't had any problem with it. p.S if working with Virtuous Quattro, install the RC1 for now. There is a bug on the wifi on the RC2 and I think they are currently working on it.
Sorry for my bad english btw.
Radio update utility is present in ARHD 6.3.1 thread....hope this will help you to update the radio...i updated with it without any issues..

Contact Photo
Hello
1-Why is the picture quality of the Contact, is down?
2-No setting For Gallery ... Why?
Are you speaking about the Virtuous RC1 or RC2. Since it's a RC version and not the complet version it's normal that some stuff ain't working or are bugging.
But as we speak there's more likely some people of the Virtuous working on the rom itself so I guess some of those will be fixed. If you want to keep information about the dev go in the thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047 you'll see all the update you need to follow

Next rom after CyanMod 7?

Hi, sory for newb posts. But this all got a bit more complicated since my HTC days!
I managed to get cmod7 working (remove apk to stop looping on boot!).
But what can I flash now with the CM kernel I have?
Or how/what kernel to flash and what ROM for best/stable device?
I see and have the Mooded rom, but do i need to flash kernel first? And baseband etc.?
All gone strange since i last flashed devices!!
Thanks !
there should be a list of suitable kernels in any rom thread. download the ROM zip to your SD card, use fastboot to boot the kernel, enter cwm and wipe data(if necessary), and flash the zip and any modules if required.
