I think there is a problem in the links for the 2ndInit apk. All the downloading files at the end of the first post are in zip format now.:-(

So without custom recovery its impossible to use them. But I can be wrong and there is a way to do that?

THey all download fine as .apks for me. Enable apps from unknown sources and install them from your microSD card. Only the one posted by wawroo is installed via CWN recovery as a .zip.

Corporate email

Hi, Firstly thanks to your instructions. I am enjoying the speed of 2.3 and enjoying.

I do have one problem. My work exchange email/calendar win't connect after the upgrade. I fill in all the correct details and get the message, "This server requires security features your phone does not support".

It was set up successfully on 2.2 and I know was set as a device administrator. I can't seem to add it now.

Any ideas how to get around this? I'll have to go back to boring 2.2 if I can't sort it.

Edit: Found a solution. I installed the Touch down app which syncs with my fussy corporate mail/calendar just fine.

adb log while booting

I have a rooted Defy+, with stock 2.3.4.
I have installed 2ndInit Recovery Installer v2.0 [Updated: 23-November-2011] from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 with bootmenu v1.0.7 and CWM v5.0.3.2
I have installed only ROM MS2Ginger3.0-RTM http://ge.tt/969Z8xC?c http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
After MS2ginger flashed, bootmenu version was changed to v1.1.0

With USB-debugging enabled
I have tried to record booting sequence with ddms, but it could not be connected until boot ended.
When any of those options was started bootmeny/boot, 2nd-init + adb and 2nd-boot + adb, the phone would reboot as disconnected to ddms.

When adb daemon was started in bootmeny/tools, phone has appeared as online in ddms, but after reboot (or whatever next option would be) it would disconnect again after unavoidable reboot, and does not reconnect until whole software was loaded.

Just flash a Motorola ROM from an SBF file and the phone will be ok, the problem with the lens will get fixed that way as well. It works like a full factory-reset.

Yes, the uninstall just removes parts of the menu right now. In the next version I'll backup those files to be able to do a cleaner and proper uninstall. However, the people who have installed this version will not have those backups. There's two solutions, I provide the files (since they don't change that much from ROM to ROM) or they flash an SDB.

Any progress here? Because even when I installed 2nd init v2.0 from a virgin stock ROM it would only remove the custom recovery, not the custom boot menu. It kept complaining about missing bitmaps.

Of course I can flash a clean stock SBF if I need to restore my warranty, but it would be a lot easier if 2nd init could do it all by itself. Especially for people with exotic stock ROMs who have trouble finding a matching stock SBF now that megaupload and multiupload are dead.

[UPDATE] Now it just got worse. The app said it was installed so I did an uninstall (partially ofcourse) rebooted and re-installed the recovery. LED turned ON Green.
Tried rebooting it and now its stuck in boot loop.
Boots into stock recovery and bootloader but can't boot normally.


What to do now????:confused:

If still the 2nd-init is isntalled .Before the Led turns green it would turn blue . When it turns blue press vol down button to access the bootmenu.

If the blue LED doesnt Lit up and you are on stock Android still . Turn off your mobile . Press power + vol-down . It would take you to stock recovery . Just select wipe data/cache and reboot i guess that should solve your problem

Blue LED didn't showed up.. I even tried wiping data but still it didn't boot.
I had to flash the SBF again and it worked fine..

    This is the installer for the 2ndInit Recovery Mod that's been seen on the XDA community in the last days (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026853). This application automates the process of install/uninstall this 2ndInit Recovery.

    DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF ARE YOU ALREADY RUNNING CYANOGENMOD. That ROM already has bootmenu pre-installed, and you'll probably end up having to flash an SBF file to recover your phone.

    NOTE: You need ROOT installed on your Defy to use this application.

    Download from attachment of this post.


    UPDATE: Google as suspended my developer account (in their email they seem to think that this was some kind of malware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342343 , but they clearly misunderstood the purpose of the app) and all my apps got removed. So, please download from here on XDA.


    When you reach the 2ndInit Boot Menu choose "Custom Recovery" to go to ClockworkMod Recovery.

    What's this for?

    * Makes it possible to load custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod :)
    * Be able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery without needing to use an app every time to boot to recovery

    This app and the 2ndInit itself do not replace the stock bootloader, or the stock recovery, so it's safe to use on a daily basis.

    Thanks to ksubedi and the Korean Devs that helped in making this possible, a large amount of credit goes to them. Also big thanks to Skrilax_CZ who was the first to develop the 2ndInit method on Android.

    How to update

    If you have previously installed this app, to update the BootMenu just install this new one, and press "Install 2ndInit Recovery", you don't need to uninstall first. You'll know that it updated correctly when you boot into BootMenu, notice the version that displays on top.


    Changelog

    version 2.3 (24-April-2012):

    IMPORTANT NOTE : I've made this version with Defy Plus support in mind, I've tested it with 2 different stock Defy Plus and it works very well. I've not tested it with the Defy (MB525) myself but who have report it works just as well. Since many people where having problems with online install I've also made this one install everything offline, if you want the custom URL feature use the previous version instead.

    * Using latest bootmenu 1.1.8 (provided by CyanogenDefy sources)
    * Using latest CWM Recovery 5.0.3.1 (provided by CyanogenDefy sources)
    * Cleaner UI, with colors to indicate status and bottom buttons
    * Added ads via admob (since I don't use the Defy myself nowadays, this comes as an incentive for me to keep working in 2ndInit)


    version 2.0 (23-November-2011):

    * Using latest bootmenu 1.0.7 (provided by CyanogenDefy, special thanks to Epsyson3)
    * Using new busybox static binary inside the app. Newer, smaller (which in turn made the APK smaller as well), better. Also comes from cyanogenmod.
    * Pop-up layout prompting for install a bit better now, and its strings are now translatable from resources

    version 1.9 (6-July-2011):

    * Install from custom URL now possible
    * Added translation to Russian (contributed by _ReBoot_ )
    * Some smaller bugfixes


    version 1.8 (1-June-2011):

    * Now users are able to choose between bootmenu versions they want to install (so you can select stable 0.6.1 for installing Cyanogen, or latest 0.8.6 for other ROMs, etc)
    * By consequence the APK is smaller, since bootmenu versions rest on the web
    * Ability to install your own bootmenu from a given URL (for advanced users ONLY!)

    * Updated to DEV version bootmenu v. 0.8.6
    ** fix 2nd-init (support new 2.3.3 kernel)
    ** add Clk4@Vsel4 (require new 2.3.3 kernel)
    ** Bugfixes on scripts and CWM3
    * Fixed cleanup after install

    version 1.7 (15-May-2011):

    * Updated to bootmenu v. 0.8.3
    ** Bugfixes on scripts and CWM3

    Some people reported that they were unable to properly flash cyanogen with the last version, I've tested this one, with both Cyanogen and MIUI and it's working ok.

    version 1.6 (13-May-2011):

    * Added Instructions and Changelog menus
    * Updated to use BootMenu v0.8.0
    ** add overclock. (Menu→System→Overclock)
    ** bugs fixes
    ** script fixes
    ** updated ClockworkMod Recovery to version 3028

    version 1.5 didn't release, since 0.8.0 came out the the I was going to do so :p

    version 1.4 (7-May-2011):

    * Added About menu
    *Updated to use BootMenu v0.6.1
    ** run-parts /system/bootmenu/init.d/
    ** add root/unroot
    ** add uninstall bootmenu
    ** add USB Mass Storage
    ** update busybox (v0.19)
    ** change menu
    ** fix top menu ↔ bottom menu
    ** bugfixes

    version 1.3 (17-April-2011):

    *Updated to use BootMenu v0.5.1
    ** Bug Fixes
    ** Few Changes In UI (Background)
    ** Updated All Scripts, Better Compatibility With Most ROMs
    ** Changed Directory Structure

    * Now checks for USB debug on previous to installing (safe mechanism)
    * Now re-verifies if 2ndInit Recovery is installed right after install/uninstall



    version 1.2 (14-April-2011):

    * Updated to use BootMenu v0.4.5
    ** Bug Fixes
    ** Changed Name Of OpenRecovery To Custom Recovery
    ** ADB Daemon Works Now
    ** Few Minor Changes...
    * Now uninstall is cleaner and more consistent

    Note: If you have previously installed this app, to update the BootMenu just install this new one, and press "Install 2ndInit Recovery", you don't need to uninstall first.

    Note 2: for people who have installed the previous version, this uninstall just works partially, that is, it removes the bootmenu, but the logwrapper is not restored to the original one. This was the behavior of the previous version uninstall button. Since the new install backups these replaced files, people who have installed only this new version, will have a proper and cleaner uninstall. For those who installed the previous version to restore logwrapper you can restore some old nandroid, or simply flash an SBF file.

    version 1.1 : first release on android market, and some improvements
    version 1.0 : first release


    FAQ

    Q: I've flashed a new SBF file and now the blue led doesn't show up anymore.
    A: You have to install and app again, and install the mod from the app again, as the flashing of that new ROM replace the BootMenu with it's own.

    Q: Does the app have to be always installed?
    A: No, you only install this app in order to use the Install button, and then you can uninstall the app, and the 2ndInit will persist. You'll still be able to re-install the app if you want to use the Uninstall button later for some reason.

    Q: I can't flash from recovery, I get an sdcard mount error.
    A: It seems to be related with phone's who are using version 2.51. To solve, try to flash any recent SBF file. If you want to do a nandroid first, check if SD Recovery works for you.

    To all people that has Defy Plus and Online Install problems, I've just posted a new version. Check the first post for the download in the attachments.

    Here are the changes for this specific version:

    version 2.3 (24-April-2012):

    IMPORTANT NOTE : I've made this version with Defy Plus support in mind, I've tested it with 2 different stock Defy Plus and it works very well. I've not tested it with the Defy (MB525) but it *should just work* as well, if someone test please let me know. Since many people where having problems with online install I've also made this one install everything offline, if you want the custom URL feature use the previous version instead.

    * Using latest bootmenu 1.1.8 (provided by CyanogenDefy sources)
    * Using latest CWM Recovery 5.0.3.1 (provided by CyanogenDefy sources)
    * Cleaner UI, with colors to indicate status and bottom buttons
    * Added ads via admob (since I don't use the Defy myself nowadays, this comes as an incentive for me to keep working in 2ndInit)
    3
    Updated the tool.

    Now you can install bootmenu 0.6.1 or the lastest version from the same APK, this is done by fetching the bootmenu from a webserver (that's why the app now requests web access). You'll also be able to provide a custom URL for using your own custom bootmenu.. I'm still working on that so not functional right now, but will soon be ;)

    Hope you all enjoy, also people downloading from the Android Market will have no troubles with installing cyanogen anymore ;)
