Hi!
I'm trying to install MIUI on my Defy.
I have rooted and installed System Recovery based on CWM. When I boot into CWM Recovery I wipe cache, Dalvik cache, and do the factory reset. I then choose to install from SD, and choose the MIUI ZIP file. It's installing and saying successfully installed. When I then reboot I still have the stock Motorola ROM.
What am I doing wrong?
Never mind. I did read through the Defy Wiki, and found the solution there. The 2ndInit did the trick. I have MIUI on the defy now, smooth.

Guys I tried to flash CM 7.1 stable on my girlfriend's defy and on the first try it didn't install correctly the google apps so I had to reflash them again.
Since that moment I couldn't be able to access the rom anymore, it was stuck in boot loop.
So I flashed some sbf's but I was'nt satisfied with any of them so everytime I try to repeat the whole procedure (root, recovery, flash) the CM 7.1 rom that I flash doesn't start, it stops on the CM boot logo.
Today I tried again installing CM starting from a Froyo sbf, but again no success, this time it's stuck on the original motorola logo, not even the CM one.
What can I do? it seems like I'm not able to properly flash a rom anymore, only sbf's work. Thanks!

check if you have wiped data before flashing cm plus which version of 2ndinit did you install ???

You should also do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik/Battery Stats) AFTER applying all the zips.

So, I was running CM9 with D2SD but wanted to remove it because I was getting some problems so I tried to restore my backup with the normal CM9. It didn't restore properly. I then thought that anyways the internal member is very low on CM9 then I should try out MTDPartition. I forgot to edit the txt file which is using while flashing CM7 . It installed but didn't pass the boot screen. I tried flashing again but no use. So I downloaded CWM again and flashed it. Then tried installing CM7. Didn't install! So I flashed CWM again and tried with MTD. It installed.
Everything was working normally. I wanted to flash a theme so I rebooted into recovery and flashed that theme (Which I was using since over a month). It just didn't start my phone then.
Now everytime I reboot, my phone starts the boot screen and then suddenly gets stuck and restarts again. This happens again and again. I tried flashing CM7 and CM9 again but same thing happens always
Please HELP!
Have you tried installing CWM recovery again?
I would recommend, install CWM again, then run superwipe, then MAKE SURE YOU REBOOT INTO RECOVERY (NOT REBOOT SYSTEM), then flash your rom again.
(thanks to blueridge wfs team for the sharing superwipe script).
Before flashing your rom, did you perform the following steps?
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
If not, try to do that first, then flash your rom.
I've tried to install rom 3 different times but it keeps getting stuck on the boot logo for 15 min +. Can anyone help?
What recovery are you using? if using CWM remember to use tdj cache wipe after flashing the rom
Same issue different rom
i followed the 4.04 instructoins to root
did odin
superuser
and got the stock rom rooted
made a backup
then flashed cyanogenmod 9.1.0 stable

Thats because you are using the stock recovery and on CM roms you need to use tdj super wipe cache after you flash the rom...
this is the instructions I use everytime I flash a rom
wipe factory reset 3 times
wipe cache 3 times
wipe dalvic
flash tdj super wipe
flash rom
flash gapps (if im flashing any aosp roms)
flash tdj cache wipe
reboot
Help
I have had my phone rooted for 3 months now so i decided to go to the next level and install a custom rom. I installed cynagenmod on my device via clock work mod.
Just to let you know i have CLOCKWORKMOD ASWELL
As i did it it installed correctly until i booted it and realized i was in a boot loop.
the cynagen mod would freeze half way through the boot.
I have tried odin but i'm not sure if i'm doing it wrong, is there any other software or things u can do. Is it possible to do it with clockwork mod, i had tried the update thing but it aborts and i can seem to get a rom that i can use that would help or is there a will load as a zip. is there any thing that you guys have done that unbricked ur wonder that you could share ?
Thank you for your time
just suggest., reboot to CWM and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache.
if it can't solve the problem you should to flash custom ROM again via CWM and if it can't solve your problem again, just back to Stock.
Go to cwm
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Flash download zip custom rom
Flash gapps
And enjoy it
So I wanted to go to Lollipop and I happened to flash the twrp recovery for new layout(as i was getting boot loop when flashing the rom with cwm recovery)
The things i tried until now.
1. Installed twrp and formatted it to get the new layout. Wiped everything, system, cache, data, dalvik cache
2. It was supporting MTP so i transferred the roms to the device being in recovery. Installed CM 12 + gapps for lollipop.
3. Rebooted to bootloader again. flashed boot.img, and did fastboot erase cache.
4. Rebooted again and stuck at CM boot logo.
I wiped the cache, dalvik cache(actually did a factory reset in the twrp recovery) and tried installing Resurrection Remix. Again flashed the relevant boot.img too. But the same result..
Did i destroy my phone?

can you enter in recovery ?
wipe dalik,chace,chace,data then go to,mount select system,chace,data,2gb extra data ,and disabel mtp
if your phone dot show up just leave it on select partions to mount ,unplug cable then plug it back,go to device manager btw and see will it show there

Yes I can enter recovery. But again I just cant get any lollipop ROM's working. I dont know whether i have to restore to kitkat(i really dont want too..
I dont get it.. Wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and then disable mtp and then enable mtp.. I mean at the end what does this do?
And in the meanwhile did you mean HTC Sync Manager for device manager. FYI I use a mac(if this helps to get into the problem). And i had flashed kitkat roms from the same without a hiccup but lollipop is failing

its hard to explain with recovery you can mount ur sdcard and put another room and install ,the easy way its to start from the begin and install clear CM12 and you will get out from bootloop that help me i was in bootloop like 3920489208420984920 times hahaha

Have you solve the bootloop issue? I am having the same problem on my International One X
thanks
Probably both of you encountered the same problem as me.
If you are S-on, you have to flash rom and kernel separately. Also, if you try to revert any changes with twrp you have to flash kernel you were using during creation of backup, and then restore backup.
In other words: your current kernel is incompatible with rom.
Mwys
Yes i am S-ON. Can you tell me what the steps are to flash the kernel? I do not have a backup.
What is did was flash New Layout TWRP, did a complete wipe, then copied the ROM and G-Apps zips to the phone, installed them and then flashed boot.img.
Thanks for the help
Yup I also tried the same. but no luck. I tried to revert back to kitkat(by installing cwm, format the storage, sideloaded the ROM and gapps, flashed the boot.img) and still again in bootloop.
Sorry for the delay. I was a lot too busy with work.
