So hello all I have problem with my games the new gameloft ones dosent save so i decided to reinstall cm7. Just to give it a try.
I used this while thinking i will do the same like an upgrade just with the same files. So i used the faq!
3) How to update from previous versions?
- Copy cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip, gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip to your SD Card
- Reboot and go to Bootmenu (wait for led turn blue then press Volume Down). Enter Recovery -> Custom Recovery
- Select "wipe cache" then go to "advanced", select "wipe dalvik cache" and "wipe battery stats"
- Go back, select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"
If you have problems with GPS after the update, try to delete the folder /data/location. Do it via Root Explorer, adb or terminal emulator (via terminal ignore the first and the last line):
But there is a problem.
When i enter to bootmenu i enter recovery ther is no such thing as custom recovery!!!!
there are 3 options stock latest and one more but not custom.
Please im new just got my defy on sunday and wanna reset the cm7 to see if it helps my problem.
Thanks you
Ernö
You have to enter into custom recovery, not into stock one.
CM7 includes a custom recovery + 2nd init. So, reboot your phone; wait for the led to turn blue, finally press volume down.
If you don't have any custom recovery, download defy 2nd init from market; you can also find it in this forum.
Its easy, just restart and go to that bootmenu and then to the custom recovery, wipe everything, and reboot. Remember that you will lose all your apps and data doing this
when i press volume down i get android bootmenu v0.9.1 defy
and in recovery i have these 3 options:
[Latest Recovery]
[Stable Recovery]
[Stock Recovery]
so how can i get the custom recovery? i have to use second init?
thanks!
im newbie but here is this
- Install 2ndInit Recovey Installer via File Manager, go to the app and click "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button. Wait for the led turn green.
- Disable USB Debugging
- Reboot (you will have to select Boot -> Normal in bootmenu)
- Reboot again, this time select Recovery -> [Custom Recovery]
- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "cm7.1.0-RC0-jordan-signed.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip"
You can install any other patches that you have now, like Swype or GPS Fix
- Select "+++++Go Back++++++" then "reboot your system now"
so i have to boot into second init and there i can go to custom recovery right?
so i should do it as written here right?
thanks the answer.!!
Stock Recovery is stock. Latest recovery and stable recovery are both custom recoveries but the stable recovery is just that, more stable.
Just go for stable recovery.
Sorry to hijack this thread but can someone tell me how i can roll back to froyo after installing CM7?
My froyo is a motorola update from their update software and i have not yet rooted my phone.
Help me please
^^Could someone please answer this?

I've been meaning to make this for a while, so here goes:
If you do have a ROM installed now that's working:
If you can, connect to a high-speed connection via WiFi, or make sure you have a good 3G signal.
If it's not included in your ROM, install ROM Manager
Open ROM Manager, and give it su access when asked.
Tap on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Tap on "HTC Evo (CDMA)" when you get the pop-up to confirm the model
Wait for the success message, and tap OK.
Tap on "Download ROM"
Scroll down to the bottom, and tap on "EVO Stock and Radios"
Tap on "Stock 3.70.651.1 Deodexed"
Tap on "Download"
Wait for the download to complete. It's 200MB, so it'll take a while (thus why I told you to get on WiFi earlier).
Tap on "Backup Existing ROM"
Tap on "Wipe Data and Cache"
Tap "OK"
Tap "OK"
Wait for ClockworkMod to Nandroid backup your current ROM, wipe your data and cache, and then flash the new ROM.
Wait for the new stock ROM to boot.
Enjoy!
If you don't have a working ROM, and your currently installed Recovery is Amon_RA (yellow text on black background with HTC logo):
Turn off phone.
Power on phone by holding Volume Down and Power.

Select "Wipe SDCARD:.android_secure"
Go to "Flash zip from sdcard"
Choose the 3.70.651.1-rooted-deodexed-signed-teshxx.zip file. Confirm.
Reboot once the flashing is complete.
If you don't have a working ROM, and your currently installed Recovery is ClockworkMod (orange or blue text on black background with ClockworkMod logo):
Turn off phone.
Power on phone by holding Volume Down and Power.
Use the volume buttons to highlight RECOVERY, then Power to select it.
When in Recovery, go to the Mounts and Storage menu, then select "mount USB storage".

There is certainly some difference between those two! one says to open RSD Lite and flash Nordic via stock recovery & the other one doesn't!
Which one 2 follow? & What are the difference?
Smh -.- u need to flash to nordic, root, install 2ndinit, boot into the recovery of 2ndinit, wipe and install nightly and then gapps.

It depends.
My phone was on UK vodafone 2.2.2, with the 179-4 kernel. That being the case, I did not bother flashing nordic or CEE. If you do not already have a 179-4 then you need to get one and flash it on with RSDlite before you root and install 2ndinit and cyanogen.
So, what is the current software version of your phone?
No need of flashing new sbf. Both RC1 and RC1.5 update the kernel and modules so no worries.
Hi, well... I installed the CM7 RC1.5 following the tutorial, but I've been reading and apparently nightly version is better, my question is if I can directly FLASH latest version of the nightly or I have to do the whole procedure again.
Maybe i'm wrong... please help with this.
Sorry for my bad english
The CM7 FAQ on the dev forum have detailed instructions how to install a nightly.
just wipe cache and apply nightly zip via custom recovery.. but make nandroid backup first..

There are several ways to flash your android device. You can use Odin, ADB / fast boot and custom recovery to flash different types of files to your android.
Odin - Odin is used for flashing .tar or img files on the Samsung devices. tar and img files are usually complete roms, kernels or recovery's. Odin is installed on a desktop or laptop computer and flashes the tars from the computer to the device through the usb cable.
ADB / Fastboot - Fastbooot is what you will use to flash .img files. They are normally complete rom images, recovery's and kernels but there are a lot of other things that are flashed with fastboot. Fastboot is installed on a desktop or laptop computer and flashes the .img files from the computer to the device through the usb cable.
Custom Recovery's - Custom recovery's are used to flash zip files on your device. zip files can be used to flash full roms, kernels, recovery's just like the tar and image files but can additionally flash mods, fixes, custom tweaks and themes. The advantages are that everything is done from the device and not from a separate computer.
But this is a guide on how to flash in a custom recovery. More specifically, Clock Work Mod Recovery version 6.0.1.2. Each recovery's are slightly different but the basic things are pretty much the same. Navigation also varies between different versions. You have the touch screen and the non touch screen versions. Touchscreen is pretty self explanatory. The the non touch versions are are navigated by using the volume up and down and power to activate your selection.
On the US Versions of the Galaxy S3, recovery mode is achieved by pressing and holding volume UP, power button and the (physical) home button simultaneously while your phone is off. Watching the screen closely, release all 3 buttons as soon as you see the word Samsung. If timed correctly it will boot into recovery in about 10-20 seconds (after releasing). If you are too early or late the phone will boot normally and skip recovery.
NOTE - If you have a rom with an expanded shutdown menu, you can go directly into recovery by choosing it from the restart menu.
Caution - You should always make a Nandroid Backup of your configuration prior to flashing an unknown mod, kernel or rom.
NOTE - The first screen you see when starting cwm I will call the home menu and is the starting point for everything in this guide.
