I installed CM7 7.1 RC1 yesterday and have a question regarding updates. I can see a lot of nighly builds (on quarx site). Can someone write/explain (or point me to thread [couldn't find any]) how to install newer versions (nighlies) over the working CM7?
The basic procedure is as follows:
- Disable USB Debugging
- Reboot to recovery
- When led flashes blue, press volume down
- Select "Custom Recovery", "Stable"
- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select the nightly zip
- Select "Go Back"
- Select "reboot your system now"
Sometimes you don't want to wipe data; Just skip that step. If stuff fails, you can always try wiping data later.
Great stuff! It's working. Didn't know that it it so straight forward .
if you wanna follow the nightlies you dont have to wipe data on each update. you can keep all the apps and settings by only perform "wipe cache" then go advance and wipe dalvik cache.

...and wipe cache, wipe dalvik is important for killing some bugs,as I experienced before install zip and once again after too.

I know it involves booting up into recovery mode, but I'm lost after that.
Go into ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery". Then the phone will reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then you will see various options, including "wipe cache partition". I presume that's the one you are after ? Or you can go into the "Advanced" bit and there's an option to wipe the Dalvik cache.
Ok, I'm currently running on CM7 Beta 6.1 and I want to install nightly RC0.. Is there anyway I can upgrade from CM7 6.1 to RC0 or would i have to Install
3.4.3-11 SBF. File Then upgrade to RC0 like i did when I installed CM7 Beta 6.1, Any help would be accepted and Thanks in advance..

You're welcome mate..

Ive tried doing this method and my phone seems to keep rebooting, any idea why?
Did you wipe your cache/factory reset after updating? I think that's the problem..

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?
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..

hi...i'm new here..i'm italian...very nice forum...my arc seems to be a new phone with your daily new rom!!!!:good:
now i have SJB 7.1 with Super Fusion Kernel V3...nice rom really...but i have a problem...when i push power button and choose "recovery" option,the phone restart in normal mode as i push the simply "reboot" option and when i go in CWM and try to wipe cache or dalvik cache, phone restart in bootloop and the only things to do is make a recovery or reinstall all the rom
have you got same problem???
thank everybody and sorry for bad english
Before installing your ROM wipe Data/factory reset ,wipe cache, select mounts and storage and select "format system " and then delvic. THis should stop the bootloop.
To access CWM just use the power button and the volume down button.
