[FAQ] Cyanogenmod 7 by Quarx

Thanks Quarx, Epsylon3 and maniacc103 for all your hard work in CM7.
** Always start the procedures with 80% - full charge (don't worry if your battery die during the process, you can still go mcgyver =)
** Make a backup of your apk's, There's a lot of programs to do that (File Explorer, AndroZip, AppMonster, etc.). If you want to backup your configurations too, use Titanium Backup.
** If you have any problem, don't blame CyanogenMod Team, Quarx, Epsylon3, the FAQ or whatever. This ROM works, if it's not working for you, it's mostly because you used wrong versions or are doing something wrong. For real bugs, use github **
ALWAYS USE THE RECOMMENDED VERSIONS

1) What SBF version should I use when flashing CM7.1?
- You can use whatever Froyo (2.2.x) you want. I'm actually using CEE 3.4.2-179-2 as a base, but you can use SEA or any other.
2) How can I install CM7.1?
- Copy update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip and gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip to your SD Card
- Enable USB Debugging
- Root via SuperOneClick
- Reboot
- Install 2ndInit Recovey, go to the app and click "Install 2ndInit Recovery" (use the latest version) button
- Disable USB Debugging
- Reboot, and in Bootmenu select Recovery -> [Custom Recovery] or [Latest Recovery]
- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110828-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"
** Sometimes, during the first boot after installation, the bootanimation doesn't stop. If you dont see anymore a led activity, remove your battery and reboot
3) How to update from/to nightly's?
- Copy update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip (or the nightly), gapps-gb-20110828-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"
** If you have 100% battery, algo in advanced select "wipe battery stats" to calibrate your battery **
- Go back, select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip" (or the nightly)
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip"
4) My market is not downloading/installing any program. What to do?
- Just log in Google Talk
5) Flashed CM7.1 (or any other ROM) now i'm stuck at Motorola or Cyanogen logo. What I have to do?
- Go to Custom Recovery then clear cache. If the problem persists, you can try to wipe dalvik cache (in advanced) too. The next boot will take some time to build dalvik cache again. If you don't have Custom Recovery for some reason, power off your phone, press and hold Volume Down + Power to go to Stock Recovery (only to clear cache/wipe data). Use Volume Up + Volume Down to show the options at Stock Recovery.
- Some people related freeze on the first boot of CM7.1, just remove your battery ans try again.
6) Can I restore my phone to send it to warranty after flashing CM7.1?
- You can in these two situations
1 - You have a full SBF of your original ROM (for carriers that already released 2.2 is very easy to find one)
2 - You have a nandroid backup AND a fixed SBF of the version you need.
For a list of (fixed) SBF's you can check:
SBF - Service Flash - all files + fixed sbf + Bootloaders
[[sbf:defy]] And Developers
7) How to install CM7.1 and keep downgrade-ability? (Froyo or Eclair)
If you don't flash the full SBF, your downgrade-ablility is fine.
Here's the safe steps to install CM7.1 and keep your downgrade-ability:
- Copy nandroid backup of 3.4.2-179-2 CEE to your sdcard. Uncompress it in the folder clockworkmod/backup/ of your sdcard, create this if needed.
- Enable USB Debug
- Root via SuperOneClick
- Disable USB Debugging
- Install Defy 2nd Init
- Reboot to enter Bootmenu, then go to Custom Recovery
- In Custom Recovery, go to "backup and restore", then "Backup". This will take some time, your backup will be at /clockworkmod/backup. Copy it to a safe place.
- Still in recovery, go to "backup and restore", "restore", and select the nandroid backup of 3.4.2-179-2 CEE (not your backup!)
If you have MD5 mismatch error, try to rename the folder of the nandroid to something simple without spaces, like "nand"
- Reboot your system and immediately press and hold Volume Up to enter Bootloader Mode (if you couldn't enter, remove the battery, wait 10s, put it again with Power and Volume Up pressed)
- Flash Fixed SBF of 3.4.2-179-2 CEE via RSD Lite
Now go to question 2 and do all the process to install CM7.1.
If you want to go back to your original ROM
- Disable USB Debuging
- Copy your nandroid backup to your SD Card, put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup (must be a folder with simple name inside backup)
- Reboot phone in Bootmenu (Volume Down when the blue led lights at Motorola logo) then go to Custom Recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache (in advanced)
- Choose "backup and restore", "restore", and select your eclair nandroid backup. If your backup doesn't show in this screen, is most likely you placed it in the wrong folder.
- Reboot your system and immediately press and hold Volume Up to enter Bootloader Mode.
6. Flash the Fixed SBF of your original ROM. For a list of (fixed) SBF's you can check:
SBF - Service Flash - all files + fixed sbf + Bootloaders
[[sbf:defy]] And Developers
8) Can't connect to my wireless network.
- Tap and hold the SSID of the network and select Forget. Try to configure the SSID again.
9) I love this ROM, how can I help Quarx and Epsylon?

13) How can I install swype in CM7.1?
- Go to http://beta.swype.com, (create a account if needed), download the Swype Beta and install it
- Open Applications -> Swype Installer and follow the instructions on the screen
14) How to overclock/undervolt in CM7.1?
CM7.1 already comes with 1000/600/300 clock, but if you want to modify these settings or undervolt:
- Reboot and enter Bootmenu
- System -> Overclock
- Set your parameters and select [save] before exit.
Remember that if you experience freezes, reboots and other problems, OC/UV can be the cause. Try to disable in this situation.
Also, DON'T INSTALL SETVSEL!
15) My GoogleMaps (or other application that uses OpenGL) is freezing/irresponsive. What can I do?
Open terminal or adb shell and type these commands:
Code:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
# echo sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096 >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# chmod 744 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
I'm a newbie, so any help to complete this FAQ will be welcome =)
And sorry for my english =S
Thanks to everyone that helped me in this FAQ, sending suggestions and fixes.

Thx for the post.

nice... quarx thread should be more focus about bug reporting..

The kernl of CM7 in Quarx's is Nordic , mean 3.4.2-177.5 not 3.4.3

3) How to update from Beta 4.0/4.1?
- Copy Fix.zip, CM7 and Google Apps to your SD Card.
- Reboot your Defy then go to Bootmenu (blue light at Motorola logo) then Custom Recovery
- There's no need to wipe data/cache!
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "Fix.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "update-beta5-cm7.1.0-03.05.11-Defy.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps gb 20110503 signed.zip"
- Select "+++++Go Back++++++" then "reboot your system now"

I think, after flashhing fix.zip need a reboot:
Quarx said:
Update to Beta5:
Before update you need install fix.zip and after reboot you can flash new version.
If you do not, then you get an error when installing the new version. And you will need to reflash with RSD.

Yes please change that. After flashing Fix.zip a reboot is absolutely necessary.

i created tutorial to install CM7 and keep the downgrade-ability to eclair.
in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13527057&postcount=3
maybe you can create that tutorial too in this thread.

I think we should better start a wiki that way everybody can contribute
Can we create pages on the XDA Wiki? Dunno how to but I think that's easier for everyone!

we have a wiki here:

I'm on the US official Froyo() currently, and since the aGPS has been fixed, I'm planning to go for the CM7 made by Quarx.
Before I do, I've got a little concern. If I follow the normal procedures to flash CM7, am I able to go back to the Official Froyo I currently use? I ask because there is no SBF for this official US Froyo, there is only leaked version and the OTA.

you tuto is perfect , but the gapps has a new version , try update
boa mlk exelente topicuuu mas tu viu q o gapps ta velho saiu uma nova esse mes com o app do 2.3.4 se quiser o link pede

Item 7 of the FAQ. You will only need a fixed SBF version that matches the number of your original ROM, there`s no need to be the same ROM. These parameters will be overrided by the parameters in your nandroid backup (version and name of your original Froyo).
FAQ Updated to Beta 5.1 (thanks Quarx!) and 2nd Init Recovery Installer 1.4 (thanks pedrodh!)

using 2nd Init Recovery, so nothing to do with locked bootloader
@antony.ps : nice tutorial

One question: How do I install Custom Recovery / Clockworkmod?!!
I am trying to do step 7 but I am stuck I am unable to install Bootmenu+Clockworkmod that Quarx provided. If I use Root Explorer to install, it will not install as after reboot I don't see the System Recovery app; I have tried installing via emulator as well but same result. (I dunno which folder to extract the files to. I have even copied to the root folder and the install.sh seemed to execute but after restart it dint work and weirdly the copied folder also vanished!)
I, however, managed to take a nandroid backup of my system using DEFY SD-Recovery. However, if I try to restore the "nandroid backup of 3.4.2-177" I get md5 mismatch and the process aborts NOTE: I cannot move folders if I use this app; so instead of clockworkmod/backup/ I have to use goapkrev/backup
I am unable to proceed unless I perform the restore. Can someone help me with step-by-step solution for installing Clockworkmod Recovery, and also 2nd Init / Bootmenu as that is needed for the next step? Thanks!

Since we're in the FAQ-topic here can you or someone else give a little explanation what 2nd Init actually does? I'm guessing it sort of circumvents some limitations by the bootloader.

This has been mentioned already about 1000 times by now on this forum but the simple solution is to remove all the spaces from the folder name. Easiest is to use short simple folder names such as "nand" or something else that makes sense to you.

Hi! Thanks for this guide.
In the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093112 I asked about this same process, and was not sure if I first needed to install the US 3.0.1 ROM after unlocking the device. In one of the replies I was told I should, but in your guide you don't have that listed.
Do I need to flash the US 3.0.1 rom first, or not?

Was your xoom on a USA based 3.0.1, or an international 3.0.1?

Im on an SG Wifi Xoom also. Actually, I followed the instructions from BigRushDog's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609.
I was rooted and on Tiamat 1.4 before I tried doing the update. It went flawless. Just follow the 3 steps in that thread. In essence, your xoom will have the US firmware and you will have access to books.
The extra steps highlighted by OP may be a safer bet though. Im not sure.

Anybody followed this guide on a UK WiFi? At the moment I am unlocked, but not rooted. This guide implies that you can update using CWM without root, which sounds logical, though it has been stated elsewhere that you need root :/

i am uk wifi and would apreciate any advice too.

OK you don't need root to install CWM, and if you get the latest 3.2.0.0 it works on the external SD card out of the box (for installation of CWM follow the instructions above). Download the lastest CWM image here:

I followed the guide below to the letter (even step 1) to get my UK stock 3.0.1 to rooted US 3.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075260#
I did have to wipe (as I was in a bootloop), and I copied the MZ604_3.1_ROOT_update.zip file directly to the SDcard via my PC (rather than pushing or mounting the card in CWM), but apart from that it all went OK

Bonus! All my apps were restored this time (as I had to do a factory reset a few days ago d/t a 3.0.1 issue)
...also my internal SD was untouched
Edit: Only thing missing was my AutoSport app which will not let me download, so will have to sideload.

If you're getting boot loops you probably need to wipe. Did you wipe as per the instructions...?

This doesn't work when you have not set the USB debugging options under "Settings" > "Applications" > "Development". FYI. It got me when I followed your guide.
It will say device not found.

Wow need help from the experts

Im flashing my GF defy green lense. I myself have a htc hd2 and im no novice when it comes to flashing and modding but the defy really makes my head hurt. its out of warranty and its been running really crapp. I want to flash the: [ROM][05.02.2012]MS2Ginger - Android 2.3.6
Ive managed to root the device but i cant seem to get Clockwork mod on it to flash. Maybe because its late but ive been following the beginners guide but im stumped what to do next.
Any help from the experts would be superb
Thanks Baker0

Do you mean you can't install clockworkmod, or that you're having trouble using it to flash the rom? To install Clockworkmod, just use this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
Run the app and install custom recovery, then reboot the phone. The first time you reboot, the custom BootMenu will display. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and the power button to select an option. Select Boot > Set Default > Normal > Go Back > Reboot System. After the phone has fully booted up, power it off and reboot again. If the custom recovery installed properly, a blue LED on the phone should briefly light up each time the phone reboots (while the Motorola logo is being displayed).
To use the recovery, turn off USB debugging on the phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging), then power off the phone. Press the power button to turn the phone on again, and as soon as the blue LED lights up, press the volume down button. The custom BootMenu will display. Select Recovery > Custom Recovery.

Thanks it makes more sense now i'll give it ago tonight. Very much appreciated

Glad I could help. Let me know if you need further assistance.

I do ive got further..ive done
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk
CM7/9 and MIUI user can start with step 2
2. REBOOT
3. run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
4. Go to "Recovery"
5. Go to "Latest or Stable or Custom Recovery"
6. "wipe data and cache"
7. Go to "Backup and Restore"
8. Go to "Advance Restore"
9. Select "MS2Ginger3.0"
Once i select Ms2Ginger3.0 its coming up with :
Clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.8
Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 Mismatch!
Then nothing else. Ive had a look on the forums but i cant find a solution. Ive formatted the SD card as fat32. Ive re-downloaded the file. Do I need to do something else before with my factory 2.2 defy?
Any help would be great
Cheers
Baker0

Did you unzip the "MS2Ginger3.0-RTM.zip" file? You have to unzip that file and put the "nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar" files on your SD card in clockworkmod/backup/MS2Ginger. (The "MS2Ginger-Greenbread.zip" file should NOT be unzipped, however, and should be in the root of the SD card.)
If you did that correctly and you're still getting an MD5 mismatch error, try checking the MD5 sum yourself using an app like AFV (Android File Verifier), which is available free on the android market. (Open AFV and browse to the md5sum file, long-press it, and select “md5sum –c Type Check”.) Does AFV show a mismatch too?

ahh i didnt unzip. I dont do that with the hd2
Next step... Sorry I feel like a complete n00bie
All im getting now is system.img not found skipping restore of /system/.
Both files nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar are in the folder....
Thank you

You need newer CWM, backup format changed recently. I'm typing from a phone, can't give you more directions now.

Yeah, that might be the problem. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=787176&d=1321653982
Don't unzip it; just put it on the root of your SD card. Then boot into custom recovery, select Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard, and install it. That will update your recovery to the latest version.

[Q] Might anyone upload a advanced CM9 backup,PLEASE?

I tried to install CM9. ... and failed 5 or 6 times?
I tried everything, but it just didn't got ready with booting, although I did everything right
That's what I did at last
0. failed with installing
1. I Flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS 03C_USAJRDNFRYORTDACH_P014_A009_HWp3_Service1FF.sb f (full SBF with RSD Lite)
2. rooted it with Superoneclick2.3.3
3. turned USB Debugging on.
3. installed Bootmenu 1.0.7(CyanogenDefy recovery 5.0.3) via 2nd-init 2.0
4. turned USB Debugging off.
5. entered Custom recovery
6. "Clear Data/Factory reset"
7. "install Zip from Sd-card">"Choose Zip from sd-card"
8. "CM9-NIGHTLY-120402-Defy.zip"
9. 7.+"CM7_Kernel-signed"
10. "advanced">"Clear Dalvik Cache"
11. "Clear Data/Factory reset"(includes cache wipe)
12. Reboot
0. failed again(didn't get ready with booting)
I got no errors and I've lost my last sd-card.(look at here)
I've got a german SOC Device with E-plus SIM-Card and 16GB SD-card.
I'm sure It's not possible to install CM9 on my device because of unfixed bugs, so I ask you to upload a advanced nandroid backup(with backuped system,data,boot,devtree,recovery,cache,sd-ext and pds) of your CM9 SOC or redlens defy.(don't forget to delete data ... and to restore it afterwards).
I'm tired of asking and asking in this forum.With this way I and many others will be able to install Cyanogenmod 9 via the backup, even if we are unable to install it on the common way and the Community won't have to spend us too much time.
PLEASE

I understand your concern; if I have had red lens I must have uploaded the nandroid.
However, I have a few workarounds for you:
1. Try some different build of the ICS (Try Epsylon's or Quarx's);
2. May be the downloaded ROM file have some issue with it;
3. This time while downloading do not use any download manager;
4. For the dead SD card you try connecting the SD card to your computer using some card reader and use "SD Formatter" software to format it. Just Google the name.
Hope the above information helps!!

Ok, I understand, but what do you mean with download Manager

Download manager is like a tool like Internet Download Manager(IDM) which makes download faster. However, it actually downloadsfiles in packets(parts) at last it combines all parts into one. Insome rare cases this combining makes the file corrupt.
Hope this helps!!

[Q] Sony Z1 Compact - CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1 - BLACK SCREEN

I really need help. I'm a noob at this. I was trying to install CyanogenMod on my Z1 compact. I was following this guide; "wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_amami" It went well after some trying. Got all the way to step 9! When I pressed Reboot system now nothing happened. The Sony logo game for some seconds, then the screen went black. I know the phone is on 'cause I can see that it is light-black, if you know what i mean. I thaught maby it would take i while. But it stayed like this for 5 hours. Nothing happens.. When I turn it off and on again, I can press the voume rockers and it takes me to the CWM-based Recovery v 6.0.5.1 page where i can do some stuff, but I'm stuck here. Please help me! Dont know what to do. Is there a way to factory-reset the phone back to Anroid? Sorry for being so noob. Need a noob friendly guide on how to fix this

Use the guides and files from this forum instead. Did you flash the CM kernel in fastboot?

at least you can boot into cwm. did you place cyanogenmod zip on your sd card?

"Open a terminal on the PC and enter the following:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot"
- again sorry, these last 14 hours is the only experience i have with rooting etc. flash means install right?

i used this "adb push cm.zip /sdcard/0/" - and I checked now. The files is there still yes. Btw, in panic I've "wipe data/facotry reset". Dont know if this matters

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" flashes only the cwm (and kernel). wipe data/factory reset is ok, no harm done (at least now, as you want clean partitions at this point anyway).
so if your zips are on the sdcard via step 8, boot into cwm, navigate to
- install zip (swipe down, swipe right to enter)
- choose zip from /sdcard
- 0/
now you end up on your sdcard. find your zip and run the install. if you copied gapps zip too, install that zip after flashing the rom, and that's it.

Yes install, I prefer to flash the kernel in fastboot then flash the zip.

Yes I've come this far. Now I have installed the file i had at the sdcard. "installation complete!" "Good Apps for Android 4.3.3" it says.
Now ive found the cm-11-20140922-NIGHTLY-amami.zip and installed it via sideload.
"opening adbd...
finding update package..
opening updage package.
installing update..."
Dont know how long this take, doesnt say its finished, but i can navigate through the menu at the top, does this means it finished? what to i do now to get i work? just "reboot system now"?

yes. reboot. see what happens. you should boot into cm already.
you didn't need using so much adb, it's all doable via cwm (except initial flashing of boot.img which is cwm itself).
next time: just download the zip, reboot into recovery, flash the zips there and reboot. it's that simple you don't need to wipe anything between flashing nightlies, but you do between nightlies and M build - or if you migrate to some other aosp/aokp/kang rom. anyhow, have fun.

You want to instal cm right? But do you know that you need to unlocked your bootloader to install any other rom than stok right? So if tou want to have CM you must unlock your bootloader
