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]

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.

Thanks dude

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...

just make sure you have a nandroid copy of your stock rom and a fully charge battery

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 dont remember if its there in latest nightlies of CM7.

[Q] CM7 stuck on FreeXperia logo

Don't understand why..
I flashed the boot.img included in the zip via fastboot
then i went into recovery and installed FXPCM7
rebooted
Stuck on FreeXperia logo for 30mins.
Whats going on?

After you flash the kernel boot into recovery...
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
then go into advanced then wipe dalvik cache
Then flash the CM7.zip
Let me know how it goes - good luck

- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advance > dalvik cache
install FXPCM7

tried it, still stuck on FreeXperia logo
do i need to be on stock when installing it?
I am currently on the enhanced v2 firmware with doom kernel..
update:
tried stock too, doesnt work..

Hm try this
Redownload CM7
using flash tool flash this FTF - It has the newest baseband and largest user partiton
flash the kernel that came with CM7
Enter recovery and..
> factory reset
> wipe cache partiton
go into advanced and
>clear dalvik cache
Then install the CM7 zip from sd-card let me know how it goes

Thanks, but that was the firmware i was on.
I tried that method twice but the same thing kept happening to me
stuck at FreeXperia logo

Just to check if the problem is specific only to CM7 rom itself try installing another rom like Gin2Jellybean - Good luck

I have used various ROMS (all working perfectly) such as:
Gin2ICS/JellyBean
xDarkICS 4.0.3
Xperia NXT
JokaWild
Advanced Stock
So I think it may be just a problem with CM7?

Oh that's strange, try to download it again or try another build from here

tried the stable build now.. same problem :/
EDIT:
Tried flashing doom kernal, this time it actually boots.. touch screen doesnt work but it boots..
Is there another kernal i can use that works?

help please? would love to get cm7

I finally figured out how to do it. Go in CWM and delete user data, dalvik cache, cache, and then go to the Mounts and Storage menu, and Format the System Partition. Make sure not to clear the SD partition on accident. Anyways, this is the only way I could get it to work

Touchscreen not working on stable CM9 FXP133

I installed the stable cm9..flashed the fxp133 kernel..the installation went smooth but my screen touch function is lost..Any ideas??
Eventually restoring to the stock kernel with JJ hybrid..and yeah the touch is working with this one. So is the problem cos of the kernel or the ROM??
I ll tell the sequence which i followed..let me know where i went wrong..i downloaded the ROM, extracted the boot.img, copied the original cm9 zip into the root of SD..used fastboot mode of flashtools to flash the kernel boot.img..then went into CWM..wiped out SD data..then cache..and then dalvik..and then proceeded to install zip from sd..it installed fine..and then i rebooted..it showed d FXP kernel logo and then CM9 bootscreen and then it loaded like it should..BUT the touchscreen isnt working at all..the hardware keys-power and back i checked were working but not the touchscreen..
Where did I go wrong..i am on baseband -72..bootloader unlocked..

You've installed correctly. Possibly a corrupt download, try re-downloading the zip.

I downloaded both official stable CM9 as well as the FXP one on uploaded.to...tried with each of them but with the same result..both cant be corrupt n it wouldnt have extracted if it was a corrupt download anyways..m still wondering whats wrong..
Also I flashed doomkernel and tried installing..again the same..touchscreen still doesnt work..aarghh..

Flash the kernel, wipe data, system, cache, dalvik, battery stats and flash cm9.
It should work...

Wiping battery stats does nothing to your phone. It doesn't change anything, it doesn't affect anything. It cannot be the problem.

Then what do u think the problem is..infact the installation works fine so i think i m not messing up anything on that front..

Probably best to use flashtool to flash stock ics rom and kernel, then cm9 kernel/rom.

I would try another Kernel ... do you have an Arc or Arc S ... does someone know if it makes a difference ?

Yes that was needed before flashing custom roms and now your stuck. You need to pull out your battery and start learning how to use flashtool.

Okay no need to be rude! And i havnt flashed a rom just the kernel, can it be fixed?

What you need to do is reboot the phone when the boot logo comes on continuously hit the back button... That should get you into recovery. Then install rom from sd.

When you flash a kernel it removes everything you had on the phone... Thats why you have to do a backup before... But if you didn't its no big deal unless you had apps that you don't have backed up.

You don't have to unzip it. Just throw the whole zip into sd card then flash it with CWM.

You have to rezip the three files then install it in recovery.

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.

It mean the checksum didn't match up which mean the rom file is corrupt. Do a disk check on your sdcard.

Also make sure if you are downloading a flashable rom or a Nandroid backup. If it's a nandroid you have to put it in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and Restore it.

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.
