use a stable version

root your phone
install 2ndinit
copy cm7 zip to sd card
go to recovery mode
go custom recovery
select "choose a zip from sd card"
select cm7 zip
then install GAPPS [you can find here on XDA]
enjoy it

Have to agree here - the official CM7 version is very, very good. Our devs are rapidly finalizing CM9 too, but it's not ready for prime time yet.

Hey,
i tried to install it to my MB525. after installing the zip file i tried to reboot it, but it only showed up the boot screen for some hours. Now the phone turned off and doesnt start again?
I tried to plugin it into my PC but the only thing that happens is that the LED turns on (white).
Is there a way to restore it, or is it completely destroyed?
Thank you for help
Edit: sorry, right after posting it i tried to plugin it again and now I can see the Boot screen again
But i only saw it for some minutes and know it is turned off again. (except the LED)
Edit2: sometimes when i try to start my defy i can access the boot menu but then it turns off after some seconds, too :/
Do you know something to fix it?

Man this is the big problem...now I m confused for installing that zip...and i dont know the solution...
Experts plz help us...
Thanx...

Does that mean you got your defy working again and you only want to try upgrading again, or do you have the same phone two times?
If you was able to restore your Phone: how?

first for sack148, did you wiped dalvik cache on recovery mode?
can you reach recovery mode?
now for shaggy
dude, it's safe, just don't forget to wipe dalvik cache, it can be the answer for sack148's problem
oh, and sorry for didn't mentioned it before, i didn't wiped dalvik cache and my defy works, :S
sorry again

Thanx NIICK...I already wipe that data...and now I am going to install that zip...

you don't really need a nandroid backup, it's just in case of something goes wrong, but, you always have all versions of stock sbfs here on XDA.
just follow my tuto, and you should be fine

i will back up my sd fist then format it

try to put thier updates.. or uninstall those apps has force close.. like repencis if touch the flashlight result of forceclose it makes your status disappear....
just try their updates...

just do a data wipe and cache wipe before flashing through cwm and installing via odin
ps: and also keep a copy of a latest cwm back up

I also experience this problem flashing from bazrom to chobitz
the things i did to fix the problem are.
1. if your on a custom OC kernel flash back to stock kernel. if you have a stock kernel back up please refer to this thread for instruction.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574499
if you didn't back up your stock kernel. click on my attached file and refer to the link i have posted for instruction.
2. if you have a nandroid back up you should try to restore it again using a stock kernel.
3. after you successfully flashed back to stock kernel. another option is to flash a rom which is different from Bazz/repencis/creeds rom (i suggest you flash hybrid 2.1)
4. last option is try to flash again to stock firmware via ODIN (if your firmware doesnt work try using another country's firmware and revert back to your country's firmware if the flashing is successful with the notification bar fixed)
P.S
Do a data reset / cache in stock 2x before updating to CWM and do a data reset / cache again. then flash a rom
Good luck hope this could help you out.

Sorted
All sorted, Thanks for all your help, Operation was successful, No more Hospital hopefully for my device

Dude u dont need to go back to el29 to change roms just use the recovery include in Blazer, did u tried to press Power + Volume Up and boot to recovery them wipe system + system cache + advance then Calvin cache then chose the rom in ur sdcard or whatever u put it and flash it. At least thats how I do it, also make sure u find more info on flashing u could brick ur phone.

Try these steps:
1) Reboot into recovery.
2) Install the PA ROM. No wipes necessary here.
3) Reboot into recovery from the Reboot menu. Do NOT reboot the system.
4) You should be in CWM6. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.
5) Restore your backup.
6) Reboot the system.
Let us know if that doesn't work. Good luck!

Q:- So Important Xperia S WiFi Not Working

I Installed Paranoid (Last Ver.) WiFi Not Working ..
Then... I installed Nova ( Last Ver..) WiFi Not Working..
What i Have To Do

How is it not working? You can't acces wifi settings? Scanning doesn't result anything? You can connect but internet still doesn't work? Which kernel are you using?

Try re flashing this way....
Assuming you did a backup before... (and was on pac18)
Wipe data factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dvalik
Format system
Flash rom
Fix permissions
Reboot up to start screen (as if it is first loaded screen)
Hold volume up and power to reboot into recovery.
Advanced restore the data only from your backup.
Wipe cache and dvalik again
Reboot
(will probably work from just backing up what you have now)

I'd say do a nandroid backup from recovery so you'll have it booting up again. If you have a backup that is.
Then either flash or copy the files don't think you have to do both. And its usually safer to flash as you'll gett the right permission on the files.

Root GB 2.3.3. Use CWM Installer v5 to install CWM. Flash NXT Lite rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067356&highlight=cdma. It work with stock kernel, which is why you don't need to unlock bootloader. But remember its free to unlock it from Sony site. Personally I recommend using Flashtool to update to kernel 2.3.4, when you flash the ftf you can uncheck everything, but the kernel.

If you changed or removed a system file on your stock rom, whether it was a browser or one of the gapps, you'll get an md5 mismatch. This has happened to me on one of my tablets, I flashed a stock factory rom to put everything back into order, then flashed the custom rom after, and all was well.

Thnx guys I will try the scan disk on card see if it work when I get home ... N I never removed anything from previous stock rom so I dnt know ... also so a terminal emulator fix but dnt know how to do it I'll keep u guys posted

Follow the instruction from the rom thread, it's a nandroid, you have to restore it, not flash.
Sent from XDA app

Alright so after trying all kinds of stuff I found a fix for md5 Miss match .. I simply just took all the spaces of the folder name .. example: rom super 1 I just renamed romsuper1. OK so I followed the rom tutorial and all went good but after I rebooted it started with Sony Ericson logo then a Expedia logo the went back to Sony logo then Expedia logo n so so it wouldn't boot ... so i did the same process again ass tutorial but this time didn't clean dalvik cache like tutor said too before reboot. And it started fine .. my question is .. is my from now messed up maybe cuz I sent clean dalvik? Should I do all over again? I appreciate all patience and help
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

So did you restore the nandroid backup and booted into the new NXt rom successfully? Then you should just do a factory reset.
Before you flash a rom or restore you should always do a factory reset or the phone might not boot, in CWM this is equivalent to choosing "wipe data/cache", this will encompass the wiping of dalvik cache which is contained within /data partition. Doing this will clean off personal data.
Sometimes you have to "wipe /system partition" as well, this is equivalent to wiping C:/Windows, as in the entire OS is gone. Then you have to restore a nandroid or flash the rom otherwise the phone has no OS to boot into.
You can choose to wipe only cache and dalvik cache, these are just temporarily files. I do it before making a nandroid backup.

Yes I got it to work successfully.. but I did not do a factory reset after.. wouldn't that wipe the from I just recovered? Thnxs for all ur help man.
