[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark-w:
Hi all. I have searched and searched the forum and been reading numerious posts over the last few weeks and have ended up more confused than ever.

I am fed up with the standard froyo on my uk vodafone defy and want something better. I read good things about cm7 and would like to give it a try, however I am not very technical when it comes to such things, I have found various guides all of which differ, the main cm7 thread on here does not seem to lead me to a download link.

Can anyone help?? idiots guide maybe......

what cm7 do I download and where and how to install.

I really have tried to understand some of the posts but will admit to some of it going straight over my head.

regards

Mark

Is your phone rooted already? If so, do you have Clockwork Mod recovery? If not, you have to have that done before flashing a new ROM. If you do a search for the Defy youll find info on how to perform these operations... Cheers

my friend if you cant understand the open discussions here. u can check out youtube. just search it, many good tutorials are available there showing the steps to install cm7.. tutorials by arjoma are really worth and very easy... but suggest you before u try anything on ur fone be equipped with all softwares needed and knowledge.. cuz its little risky .. so prepare and then go ahead .. good luck .. ;)

Hi there! Please watch carefully this video :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xSIEx7kiXU

As a suggestion, make sure you have your battery over 80% before starting the process and download all these and put them on your SD Card :

Download SuperOneClick to root here: http://goo.gl/xk0AH

Defy Sndinit apk: http://goo.gl/5P89P

Download the ROM itself: http://goo.gl/XyfLE

Download the Google Apps: http://goo.gl/KMFhq

Oh, and don't forget to install all defy drivers on your PC BEFORE! Good luck !

I suggest you buy the HTC HD7S. It has a bigger (4.3" screen) and is more popular so you'll likely get more help if you run into issues.

The HTC Surround has a slideout speakers and that's about it. It has a smaller 3.8" inch screen.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
Try booting your PC into safe mode and uninstalling the Epic 4g drivers from device manager. Safe mode device manager will show installed devicves that are not currently connected.

and i still need the hacked sprint hotspot plz.

thanks for help

dang, whats the button combo to boot into CWM on this thing?

edit again, think i found the right hotspot link finally.

found to get into CWM i do vol up and power. but when i do it , it just boots normal. i did opiton C then option L from the exe i used to flash cwm. which was cwm rouge plus bootimg. was that right?

if the battery is low will that prevent a boot into recovery?

im sorry for the long thread posts but i dont wanna cloud up the q and a with these little qs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Do option C, then option E.

To get into recovery, turn phone off. Then power on by holding volup and power. Keep holding until recovery boots up. From there I would flash any custom rom as they pretty much all have the hotspot hack. I would recommend calkulin's as I personally have found it to be the most stable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evilsock:
option e is ek02, im on el29, isnt el29 the newest ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Yea, but it is not asking what you are on. It is asking what you want to flash to. Flash to ek02 (option E) and from there you can flash to whatever you'de like (I suggest calks rom, which is el29 based).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evilsock:
im confused, i flashed option l, the el29, can i not flash things from there? why would i flash an older ver.?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
You can flash from anywhere as long as you can get to recovery. Sorry to have confused but I guess I had an earlier version of autoroot that didnt include the el29 images.

As long as you're just restoring apps and data then you should be good, just don't restore anything like system data. I'd make a full nandroid before you do it though because you don't know if some app settings it restores might not play nice with ICS.

Hi,

My wife has upgrade I think the incorrect version of ics 4.0.3 stock because when I try to go to the recovery by press power button and volume up the system crash. It seems that the bootloader is of 9020 instead of her 9023.

So I can't root or install cyanogenmod 9.

Any solutions?

Thanks.

You can fastboot flash recovery.img again, then flash rom CM9. You can go to recovery.

Try flashing a new recovery from the bootloader before you choose recovery.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graham.doel:
I have a Kindle Fire that I have successfully rooted and using CM7.

I let the battery completely discharge and since then the device has been stuck in what appears to be a boot loop at the fire fire screen (I have a video of the problem but because this is my first post I am not able to post links, you could find it by going to graham dot doel dot org forwardslash kindlefire)

It won't turn on unless a usb cable is plugged in. When the usb cable is plugged in the apparent loop starts.

This is what I have tried:

1. trying to charge the device.

2. trying a hard reboot. Holding the power button for 20 seconds, doesn't make any difference.

3. connecting via adb, the device isn't seen.

4. Making a factory cable and trying to connect via that, but no joy there, the device isn't detected by the computer (windows or linux)

Could anyone make any suggestions about how to unbrick this device, I have searched high and low and have found nothing that helps or works.

Thank you

the repeatent on/off is typical - what happens:

the only solution i know is to charge with the wall charger for some hours (over night)

but if you plug it to the wallcharger it turns on

so press and hold the power button till it turns off to allow the kf to charge

have a headache from reading ... and re-reading...

I have this exact same problem on my stock KF. Powers on with wall charger plugged in (no light green or red), immediately shuts down when unplugged. Been through all of the forums guides KFFB and the linked ones by Kinfauns I purchased a factory cable attempting to make it fast boot on computer, no power at all. Doesn't appear to have any effect

I am at my wits end :confused:. Is there some type of battery failure that would account for being on charger for hours and not keeping the charge? or since it does boot up would it still be the software not in fastboot to allow a charge??? I plug in the wall charger, press button until it shuts off, and left it for several hours ( one last time going to try longer than overnight)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Juiced718:
So apparently HTC has updated their list of devices receiving ICS... 2 of which being the Thunderbolt and Incredible 2. Clearly HTC and Samsung are seperate companies, but seeing how both these devices were released well before the DC maybe Samsung will give us some official ICS love.

Thoughts?

It's a thought, maybe I can come back to bed and dream some more on ICS for the Charge! hehe.
[Verizon Droid Charge] luis86dr:
They haven't released RIL wouldn't hold my breath.

Would be nice of them but I don't see that happening for months. If at all. Sammy isn't that great for pushing updates IMO from past phones..
[Verizon Droid Charge] fryguy101:
Points in favor of the Charge getting ICS:

It was a flagship phone, dropping support would tarnish Samsung's reputation

Contemporary phones seem to be getting ICS

The Charge has just been released for US Cellular as the Galaxy S Aviator, and 18 months of updates means it pretty much has to get ICS...

Points against the Charge getting ICS:

The Galaxy S isn't getting ICS, because Samsung says it doesn't have enough memory... and has the same amount of memory as the Charge.

Honestly, I have no idea what to expect at this point...
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
For now I would treat ICS on Droid Charge as....a miracle! rare to happen...but possible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] luis86dr:

Samsung has said that the original galaxy s phones aren't getting ics because they don't have enough ram after samsung puts tw on it. I will assume the galaxy s 1.5 phones aren't getting it either because they have just as much ram.

[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
It's been.pretty much said by Samsung that the Galaxy S line(including variations) won't get ICS since they want to include TW with it. That would, I assume, require more memory. Our only hope would be 100% stock ICS ported over.

But damn, if the Nexus S had LTE, that probably would have helped a bit.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:

[Verizon Droid Charge] Juiced718:
Yea my thing is .... Samsung would look hella bad if they didn't and HTC did update phones released prior to DC .Aside from that Sense is a lot more of a memory hog than tw... the thunderbolt ONLY has 25% more ram.. then again it has 25 % more ram so who knows

RE- ril; the fact that Samsung doesn't seem to want to release the code doesn't mean they wont release ICS... ril doesn't need to be public for them to release an official build... or am I mistaken?

[Verizon Droid Charge] mattwd0526:
You are not. The RIL is just a necessity for a community build of it, which would likely come out much sooner than an official one if we could get ahold of it
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The problem isn't the amount of RAM, it is the amount of space allocated for /system on the device. If they would include TouchWiz, it likely would not have enough space left for everything. However, the fact that I have heard there are internal builds of ICS for the Charge is promising. Also, the fact that the Thunderbolt is getting ICS helps our case as well.
