Hi,
I was recently trying to get CyanogenMod 7 on my Defy. This is what happened...
rooted with z4root
installed ClockworkMod bootloader (using System Recovery apk)
performed a full backup
ran the update.zip for CM7 (from here)
wiped user data + cache (didn't wipe before running update.zip, because I didn't read it properly!)
got stuck in a "M" logo loop
flashed the UK T-Mobile 2.21.1 SBF file (from here) with RSD Lite
ended up with a completely dead Defy! (as described here)
the only ROM i can get to boot at all is the UK Orange 2.3.3 (from here)
i rooted using this method (here)
i've reinstalled the ClockworkMod recovery (using the same System Recovery apk)
when it reboots to the recovery, I just get a black screen
Does anyone know any way of reverting back to the stock T-Mobile ROM (or, ideally, move to CyanogenMod 7?), or does it look like I'm stuck in the Orange ROM?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Even for me CM7 Beta 6 didn't worked... well but I am happy to be on Leaked Orange GB 2.3.3 with Blur..
It's definitely an improvement on the original ROM! It supports proxy over wifi (although I haven't tried it yet), although GPS + android Market don't work... but I suppose it's much better than having a bricked phone!
I'm also on the leaked 2.3.3 orange rom and everything seems to work great so far (using it for 1 week now).
I've had a problem with the market too in the beginning. The market needs a google account to work and I couldn't add this account to motoblur from the beginning, where you setup motoblur, so the market wouldn't work for me. I did a wipe data/factory reset, rebooted and this time I could add the google account. Not a single bug, FC, reboot or anything like that so far (ok 1 "bug" to be honest, the signal bars stay empty but the 2g, 3g and hdspa indicators work). I've also used gps navigation without problems and the camera too without the fixes in the forum, but you may want to try the fix from walther79 for gps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14046494&postcount=388).
I haven't tried myself but they say it can be downgraded. If you carefully follow this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447) and use the sbf mentioned in that post you should be able to install cyanogenmod 7 succesfully. Use this guide for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
If you want to wipe data and cache before flashing (suggested) you could use clockwork OR the standard recovery (http://www.hardreset.eu/motorola_defy_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html). Though you should hold volume up + volume down after you see the droid instead of tapping the touchscreen. There is also a chance clockworkmod will work after you've done a wipe data/factory reset.
Hi.
I'm running CyanogenMod7.1.0 on my Moto Defy, and recently, when I turn on mobile data the phone crashes (restarts) within a few seconds.
After restarting, the phone boots regularly, and then reboots every few seconds.
The last lines (before the crash) taken from adb are at: gist(dot)github(dot)com/1134269
a much longer logfile is at gist(dot)github(dot)com/1134231 (new user, can't post urls..)
each crash is marked (by me) with '=======================' and some newlines.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
As this works for almost everyone running CM7 (not seen any other reports of mobile data crashing/causing instability) it would seem sensible to clear cache/dalvik cache from Recovery (reboot, 'vol -' when the blue light shows) then Recovery - Clear Dalvik cache is under Advanced....
Also, if you're overclocking, reset to stock clocks/voltages and see if that fixes it..
You could also try the latest nightly builds - I'm using 'cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY-Jordan' without any issues (think I've tried almost every nightly build they guys have created!) and would strongly recommend it over your version.
Working brilliantly so far. THANKS russtyd.
And thank you for the detailed explanation, I didn't know about this recovery in cm7.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I'm glad it was that easy to fix
As it turns out, I spoke too soon..
clearing the dalvik cache worked for about an hour, but than the problem came back.
Here's what I know so far:
using 2G network (with data) is OK.
Installing the 2 latest nightlies (110809 and 110806) - does not crash the phone when data is enabled, but it does kill all 2G/3G network connectivity.
Right now, I'm afraid of a hardware issue, so I'm gonna flush some stock sbf (any recommendations? would love a good tutorial, since it's my first time going back..) to check if it works there.
Anything else I might be missing?
If you want to go back to a 2.2 froyo then the CM7 FAQ is helpful for links to the sbf and drivers etc:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
Just download the following two files (links are in the FAQ):
- RSD Lite and Motorola Drivers (updated)
- SBF 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC
Install Motorola drivers and run RSDLite, and then follow the first 2 steps of "2) How can I install CM7 RC0?", ie
- Power your phone with Volume Down pressed to enter Stock Recovery, then do "Wipe data/Factory reset" and "Wipe cache"
- Reboot from Stock Recovery with Volume Up pressed to enter Bootloader Mode, then open RSD Lite and flash Nordic
There are more sbfs here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 but having needed to do a clean install myself of CM7 last week (stuck on 'M' logo after a messed-up nightly install) I know this one works and gets you back to 2.2.2....
Hi
I have a weird problem with my Defy running MIUI 2.4.13, everything that's hwa related (games, videos, internet browser) is laggy (frame skipping, jittery)
I've tried overclocking to 1.2GHz and installing Chainfire3D drivers and plugins - still nothing changes.
Is there a way to fix this - or is it just how this rom works ?
Thanks for any help.

That ROM run perfectly except GPS. Even on HTC desire GPS is not doing like on stock. Weird. But everything else must run even better then on stock. You did something wrong.
No need to overclock, something is going on that it should not.
Well.. what cloud I do wrong ?
I rooted the phone,
installed cwm,
cleared data, cache, davlink
installed miui zip from sd
Maybe the main thing is that I did not flash ?
I mean should I ?
I got my phone out of the box, right after closing the android welcome tips screen, I've rooted it and installed 2init.
On my previous defy I remember flashing an sbf before installing any roms... - could this be the case ?

No ,you don't have to flash an SBF unless you bricked your defy
I had your problem with GPS and i remember searching in market for gps state or fix
You have 2 solution you should try :
Recomended 1- Flash the newest rom from WajkIUI or Pikachu and i assure to you that you will enjoy your Defy like never before :
A- Pikachu : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498843
B- WajakIUI : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
2- You will find a GPS.config for most countries in Defy General forum but i don't remember where
I hope i helped even a little
thanks after flashing wiui - all my problems are gone
glad to see it solved
Hello guys,
I've been using the Beta 4.0 for a while now and it works brilliantly, so I saw an update beta 3 I had to download it.
It has some bugs, not much apps like how you get in the beta, gapps not installing and my data is off but it is switched on.
Having a android phone with no gapps and data is useless, it's like having a nokia 3310, just phone text and that's it.
Please fix if possible.
Thanks

I installed PA 4.0 Beta 3 as well (yesterday) and I have none of the bugs you're describing: data (3G/2G) works, and Gapps not installing, that depends ENTIRELY on which Gapps you are using. I'm using the latest PA Gapps complete package (23/01/2014) and they just installed for me. So both of the bugs that you're experiencing are only on your end. Are you absolutely sure you set the Data icon correctly, because since Beta 3 PA uses a new Quicksettings systems. See in your systems if it's really working. Also check if your APN is still correct. Download and install the latest version of PA Gapps. If that still doesn't work, you should do a clean install (even though I didn't, I'm coming from CM11 Beta 3, just flashed the latest Gapps and PA 4.0 Beta 3 and everything was good to go).
To be honest you're being rude here and you obviously only tried installing everything once. Well this is a custom ROM scene and you need to do an effort yourself. What I see now is that you're using a "thumbs-down"-icon which is extremely discouraging, comparing this phone to an old dumb phone is also completely out of line because WiFi still works, and there are a ton of other things you could still do even without Gapps and data. This post just smells of you having a sense of entitlement, but don't forget that we're not paying deedwar. If a dev decides not to release a ROM that's very sad and it's all due to threads like these.
So what I'd like you to do now is rephrase your OP, use a positive icon and maybe we can turn this wasted thread into a discussion thread for PA Nozomi instead of a shouting contest.

That is very well said redstarr1 but i dont quite feel as strongly about it as you. I just see it as a logical statement. However it would help if you can expand on your issues somewhat. Did you do a clean install (wipe data / system / cache / dalvik) or just a dirty flash over the top. What network do you connect too and have you tried Changing your carrier in "access point names". Creating a whole thread for an issue but not elaborating on what you have and havent tried really makes it hard to help.
Beta 5
Hi guys,
The latest update beta 5 works just fine but a few bugs.
Sometimes the back button doesn't work, have to restart the phone for it to start working again.
When charging the wireless is activated, and the battery takes longer to charge.
The phone lags now and then but other than that works fine.
If anyone who can post this on the Xperia S development thread I would really appreciate it, I don't have rights to post on the development thread as yet.
Thanks
Beta 6
Hi guys,
The new update of Beta 6 for Paranoid is brilliant.
After the 1st boot the phone is a little slow but after the rom has settled it's very smooth.
So far all I have tested works perfectly, don't like the launcher much though, so I have my own custom launcher, Next launcher works brilliantly and very customizable. The new launcher's that are added aren't very good and would like if they could get the original launcher if possible.
Other than that all is well.
Thanks Paranoidanroid.
Pa beta 4.3 13052014
Thanks deedwar...the rom(PA 4.3 Beta 13052014) works like a charm. My battery lasts for a day...with data on(3G)....although there is issue of random reboots and the date setting to 1972th year...but i think it will be resolved in the next version i.e. Beta 5/6....Love your work..really appreciate it. :good:
Beta 6
Beta 6 is out..!! Great...!! Trying it now..!!
What about VOIP apps(Viber, line etc.) ? do they work on the latest build ? Cheers.
The latest build
Yes, the VOIP does work..(Viber, Skype etc.,)on the latest builds ..however, I am having a few system UI crashes while using option of any app from the notification bar..like when you're downloading an app from Playstore and which you wish to stop or pause from the by pulling down the notification bar. or using controls of the stock android walkman app.

is this room can accept for xpeeria sl lt26ii
plz help me ti find room to my phone 4.4.2
and how can use this room to my phone
I had installed beta 4. A few days ago I installed beta6 but after install and reboot sony logo appears and mobile does nothing more. I restored a backup and today I tried to install beta7 with the same problem. Has anyone the same problem or have any idea to solve it?
How did you install the ROM?
I assume you did wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing any ROM since you've installed several ROMs. If not, please do so.
Try flashing (with fastboot) a new kernel (twrp or cwm) followed by: (1) factory reset, (2) wipe cache, (3) wipe dalvik cache and then (4) install PA Beta 7.

I did factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik but It didn't work.
I had some troubles trying to restore an old backup after the last failed installation. After the failed restore I tried to install Beta 7 again and It worked. I do not know why, but now I have beta7 working perfectly.
Thanks for your help.
problem with Ant+ on Paranoidandroid 4.3

Unfortunately, ant+ does not work with android version 4.3 and onwards. This has something to do with the drivers I believe (not sure though). So it doesn't matter which ROM you try: all 4.3.x or 4.4.x will not have ant+ support...

Hi,
I was on the paranoid 4.4.4 rom on my I9300, everything worked fine.
I did the last update with paranoid 5.1.1 but it didn't worked well, i have multiple error and Google service won't work anymore.
The thing is, i can't do anything at all, like restore my last backup because i lost the root access with the update.
I can't load in recovery mode, i tried the HOME+VOLUME DOWN (or up) + POWER, it won't work.
I can't fine the debug mode on this version, so i really don't know how i can at least restore my last backup to go back to the 4.4.4 version.
Any help is appreciated, thaks for your time.
Root doesn't ship with any 5.x build of paranoid android. To reset you need to boot into recovery and restore your backup or flash a different ROM.
You don't need root access for that.
It sounds like you installed an incompatible gapps....
Thanks for your reply,
I managed to boot in recovery, using a method i found on the web, i pull the battery then hold the combination keys when i put it back, and it load in recovery just fine.
I think i couldn't install the proper gapps because i was in clockwork recovery, i installed the latest TWRP, but i still can't manage to install the latest paranoid rom prpoperly.
here's what i did so far:
- wipe all/ factory reset , install Paranoid5.1.1 + Gapps 5.1 mini => paranoid load but Black screen once it's loaded with the message "Android.phone interrupted" (gross traduction) popping every 2 sec, it disapear if i put the phone on airplane mode => make me think the Google service can't connect.
- Restore my last 4.4.4 backup then => wipe cache/dalvik=>install Paranoid 5.1.1 + gapps => same as the previous problem, but this time i have my old app and i can call and receive sms.
My guess so far is a problem with the Google service who can't synchronize, the Gapps i try to use are the pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.1-20150315-signed.zip
Any guess ?
Yeah. The problem is you are using old gapps. Use banks gapps
I had trouble with a clean install of PA 5.1 + Gapps on my S3 (i9300) and similar issues to yours, not sure why but I found that if I used th full fat "Stock" 5.1 Gapps the phone was fine and has been for a day or 2 now, the pico/mini/full seemed to be problematic (at least for me). Also moved to Philz Recovery using the "Rashr" app as my old CWM kept throwing an error of status 6 on any Gapps I downloaded... Must admit though that once stable PA Lollipop runs well on the S3 and battery seems better over the past couple of days too...
