Can we have some instructions on how to realize an upgrade from cyanogen 7.2 to 2ndboot builds: mb525&526?

Like it seems 2ndboot builds will definitly replace olds versions.
[Defy General] nitin55:
If you are upgrading from previous CM10 builds:

1) Wipe Cache and Dalvik.

2)Flash Rom

3)Flash Gapps

4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot

and if coming from different builds(like CM7,CM9 etc)

1)Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik

2)Flash Rom

3)Flash Gapps

4)Wipe Cache and Dalvik again & Reboot

Hope this helps you and ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING NEW ROM

and next time please use search button before posting. I already posted this on page 37 :).
[Defy General] Glaux:
Which SBF is recommended to flash this over if doing a clean install?
[Defy General] nitin55:
Yes now you don't need to flash the kernel. Just follow the steps i mentioned above and that's it. :)

battery drain

i have defy red lense and i'm on cm10 18/10/12 V4 and my battery drain in 6~7 hours how can i fix it??? pls help i'm new here
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
Quarx added one 'ramdisk' file in a comment of his in the ROM thread.. search for his posts there, check the latest ones and follow the instructions..

If you want more detailed instructions, search this thread for my comments and you will find them. (I don't have many comments so you will easily find the post).

Or.. just upgrade to the latest build.. the V3 and V4 updates to it have that fix.

PS: Sorry.. you already have the latest.. just install the latest update to it and then wipe cache and dalvik cache..
[Defy General] allseason:
My bad, I have flashed the ROM before reading this post. Should have saved a lot of my time if I looked into this first.

Much more clear about the whole thing now and will love this tiny powerful baby with just $99. A big thinks!
[Defy General] thesultanofswing:
Ok, I had Quarx's 24.09 build installed. I wanted to flash the new 2ndboot build (18.10), so I followed these steps:

1. Wipe data

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe Dalvik cache

4. Flash 18.10 ROM

5. Flash 18.10 v4 update

6. Wipe cache

7. Wipe Dalvik cache

8. Reboot

But the phone won't boot up. It gets stuck with the red LED and a black screen, and reboots itself after a certain period of time. I removed the battery, waiting for some time, tried to boot again, but it still won't boot. Default boot mode in bootmenu is also 2ndboot. Please help!
[Defy General] corrinti:
First try to get to CWM and wipe cache and dalvik cache again. And let it reboot twwice till you remove your battery.

But BTW: what is your last stock system
[Defy General] AnTerNoZ:
are u sure that interactive governor is set in bootmenu?

[Defy General] :
Thank you although I'm confused as to which line of the file I'm supposed to add it in as i added it in the end it made no difference removed a line in the middle and added it,the notification bar disappeared,so back to square one
[Defy General] danch92:
I did what you said and the battery improved a little but it's still doesn't last a day
[Defy General] thesultanofswing:
Yes, it worked. Thanks, man!
[Defy General] c-loet:
hello,

on the way to do, you talk about people who don't have CM10 (using froyo) or people who already have it.

what's about people with CM7 (20120727 UNOFFICIAL JORDAN)? i do't really undersatand if i have to download the kernel and so one, i just feel completely lost...

can someone help the big noob i am ?

ta
[Defy General] corrinti:
Just the same way as for CM9, CM10 etc.

Steps in the posts above, i.e. wipes of caches and data, flashing build, wipes of both caches.

No kernel to flash (already in the build) (though at the moment you should flash 18/10 build plus 27/10 kernel update, so called v4 :cool:)

Also the way back to CM7 is exactly the same.

No battery fixes for red lense

One build for all defies (green, red, plus)
[Defy General] krestian:
I'm on a defy red and although the ROM is wonderful, I'm *still* having serious battery drain apparently related to wireless data. While on wi-fi, it has similar battery life than previous ROMs I used (about roughly 1 1/2 - 2 days), but when on 3g/2g it goes down very fast, in roughly 10 hours. I have now disabled sync to try to isolate the issue, however my wireless data show fairly regular, ie. no apparent data drain anywhere.

I'm on V3 + Walter79/espaciosalter20´s RIL and battd fix, my question is, does anybody know if this RIL/battd fix is still compatible with V4? or is it not required with V4? would like to know before flashing V4...

TIA...
[Defy General] corrinti:
As far as I understand the system espaciosalter20's fix should be compatibile with v4.

Anyway some ppl reported problems caused by new RIL and that's why espaciosalter20 made a zip file for recovering original files.

You can try to edit this zip, removing walter's part just to make it recover only original RIL and check if it helps for your drain
[Defy General] cibulak:
Do you mean - download the original zip and delete the ril file from it OR download, and replace the RIL file with the original one?

I did the former yesterday - I let the battery completely discharge and left the phone connected to the the charger for about five hours not touching it at all - and then the battery showed only 86 percent not being able to charge more. Then I restored the system from a backup (made before applying the espac. update and the battery showed only 70 percent now after a few hours it shows less but in the bootmenu it shows 93%... I know the battery shows wrong numbers after changing the ROM but how is it in this case and how about the espac. update?
[Defy General] c-loet:
I feel really stupid, but I can't find them in the link on first page... the only one i find if for MB526, i think it is defy+ but i have defy (normal). I feel really confuse, sorry
[Defy General] corrinti:
So read again the last sentence of my previous post :D

From the first post you take only gapps for jb

All the builds are here

Download at the moment 18/10 build and update v4 for 18/10 build

Edit: you are right, OP is a little bit outdated as doesn't point that 2ndboot builds are for all defies (or I can't find it) - it is true, no matter what lense and what battery you have, there is one unified build which works for all
[Defy General] thorunt:
2ndboot mode

I'm using the last version of Quarx ROM and it's running smooth, but i saw some people saying that i have to put my phone to boot in 2ndboot mode, and i didn't saw this option. Despite of that, ROM is running perfectly.

do i really need to do that? how do i proceed?
[Defy General] corrinti:
You don't have to do anything.

2ndboot systems make 2ndboot your default mode of booting

Hi!

I have 2 problems, after flashed the newest rom:

Sometimes my phone reboots (mostly after i finished some game and won that)

My battery level after the first charge doesn't go higher than 83%.

I'm using MB526 Defy+, and did these steps several times - hoped it will solve my problem:

Fact reset

Wipe cache&dalvik

Install 1018Nightly

Install Battery fix (if i don't battery problem same exist)

Install mingapps

Install v4

Wipe cache&dalvik

Did i make something bad?
[Defy General] AnTerNoZ:
U install the battery fix that was wrong, cause only mb525 with red lenses that want to flash a mb526 build need that files. U had flashed files for the smaller battery from defy, that's why urbigger battery not charge to the end. U only need files from a defy+ rom.

Jelly powered.Defy
[Defy General] omancorfu:
Thanks for advice. I give it a try, but as i remember the first time i did the same without battery fix install, and the same happaned.

Shall i wipe battery stats before re-install?

Can you help me 'bout reboot issue?

Why has the battery life suddenly decreased?

Hello everyone i was on paranoid android 24/09 build now i have flashed quarx's cm10 18/10 build also update v4 but the battery life is hopeless i had 65% battery after 30 minutes it has dropped to 60% heres what i did-

1.I wiped cache and dalvik

2.flashed the ROM and then update v4

3.wiped cache and dalvik again and rebooted

it booted perfectly and all the apps i had are running just fine but why is the battery life so bad please help thank you in advance.
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
Could it be a matter of background processes preparing cache, filling the media info.. wait a day and then report again.. there are a lot of things which may need running on first run..
[Defy General] :
i will wait and observe but would it have been wise to have done a factory reset?

MB525BAYER with a MB526 BL6 SBF. can anyone help me? I tried to install CM7 UNNOFICIAL STABLE, and am having several FC when I use google play.
[Defy General] corrinti:
Your problem is internal storage which seems to be corrupted, as it shows 0MB free and only 70 MB on it. If your any file manager shows the same than to make it properly formatted again I would flash full sbf (don't know any other way to do it, maybe someone else knows). Maybe factory reset could help

Ps. And flash 2ndboot build - it's worth it :D

tried to update from inbuilt defy rom updater....but it shows upto 9.24 built only

im now on 10.18 v4 on red lense defy

and while flashing this rom, i didnt flash battery fix (missed that)...but battery displayed correct percentages (except drops & jumps of abt 15%, which was similar to cm7.2)

now while flashing new nightly 11.02, do i need to flash battery fix??

thanks!
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
No, docneo99, you don't for some time now.
[Defy General] docneo99:
even if i start from the beginning, wiping data & factory reset??

as it is mentioned in the FAQ...

plz dont get bugged!

im sorry, i think misread this time, i think...that battery fix is if we flash nightlies upto 9.24

correct me if im wrong.

thanks
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
I don't.. I understand you. And no.. forget the FAQ.. it is outdated since the advent of the 2ndboot builds..

you can see notes on/list of the necessary steps on pages 45, 42, 40, 39 or 37 (each of those has useful list..)

BTW: I had program lags till I switched from Nova launcher to Apex launcher.. if someone is using the JB Defy with Nova and has problems.. try Apex (I don't like Trebuchet and its lack of settings to make it suit my needs so I can't say how it behaves with it..)

Thx for the summing up of relevant installation-wise posts.

I'm on a rooted and 2nd init'd 2.3.4 stock defy+, whose full SBF is unavailable.

Will I be able to flash the new 2nd boot CM10 flawlessly, or will I need to flash a newer sbf before that?

And, if needed, will the stock ROM nandroid backup be sufficient to come back?

tnx
[Defy General] corrinti:
As your stock is BL5 or 6, you shall have no problem with nandroid backup to return to the stock state.

Hard to say about whether you will be able to flash CM10 2nd boot build without a problem, but most probably yes, I do not remember any Italian reporting problems with it here.
[Defy General] Pepi_X:
It was enough for me.. I had made the lag almost non-existent, but when I found that all my videos (taken with the standard camera) are having sync issue between the voice and video and my LGCamera app does not produce playable videos I decided to go back to the tried and true CM7.2 using the nandroid backup made right before I upgraded. Works like a charm..

I realise my problems may have been present because I restored all my apps together with their data using Titanium Backup, but I couldn't be bothered to start installing and configuring (or repalying) again.. I have about 250 apps in my installation.. So my experience is not necessarly common.. and I fixed the lags by removing some of the apps I did not need that much and I noticed are getting loaded relatively often. (so it must be an app issue.. not a ROM issue..)

[Defy General] cibulak:
I guess the only thing you need to do is copy the newest zip to your SD card, go to bootmenu, do a "wipe data/factory reset", then under Advanced "Wipe Dalvik cache", then Apply zip from SD card, and then wipe cache and Dalvik again - everything should be working then - I also came from cm7.
[Defy General] Gafanhotz:
Well, since the original thread is locked, where will Quarx post his builds? He could put an index.html in his website with a link directing to the latest build and with the changelog in that index.html.

And as well, only have the FAQ thread here on XDA directing to his website.
[Defy General] Kayant:
Am sure TeeJay3800 will just open the thread whenever he needs it after it's rom. It belongs in the dev section & it's only locked to reduce the spam because the spamming on that thread is just ridiculous even after 2 or more warning from him :(
[Defy General] Hider141:
I have 2 problems/questions, even if they are somehow dumb q's.

1) After I've restored apps from previous rom (CM7 with Froyo kernel), but without any data some apps wouldn't restore, or atleast wouldn't appear in app drawer and in the installed apps list. So I had to install them manually from Play Store. Is it because i've swapped GB with JB?

2) I've noticed that SD card write speed is somehow reduced on JB. It took longer than usual to copy files from my PC to the SD card and the app restore process took longer than usual too. My SD card is a Sandisk 16GB class 10 card.

L.E.: I forgot to mention that I've formatted the SD card from Settings->Storage->Erase SD card.

[Defy General] -=lov=-:
New Rom with custom kernel can be downloaded from http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/

Read this thread
[Defy General] nakster:
Ah, thanks, didn't realise they had switched to 2ndboot and was looking at the original CM10 folder.

I see some references to a kernel update, is that necessary?
[Defy General] Hider141:
@nakster: just take the following steps if you want to install/update the latest JB build.

The latest JB build is from 2nd November

If your phone gets stuck at the Cyanogenmod logo and red led for more then 5 minute you have to take out the battery for 5-10 minutes, reinsert it and start the phone again, as far as I know.

L.E.: I don't think the kernel update is necessary for the 2nd Nov build. But wait for someone else to confirm this.
[Defy General] Fotogravin:
Just one time wiping is sufficient, you don't need to do it twice.

Kernel update was meant for older builds, but is present in latest build, so no need to flash those kernel updates. Only flash kernel updates that have newer date than latest build

You have your answers in the other thread. My guess it's that the batery might be dead or too discharged.

Try and recharge it the MacGuyver way if you fully understand the risks, or take your phone to the nearest GSM service and let them test the battery.

Don't worry, your phone is not bricked if you can still turn it on and access the bootmenu, recovery menu.

I really don't know what causes your problem but starting with full sbf would be what I do if wipes and new flashing do not help.
