Hey I know this is on old post but PLEASE answer my questions:)


1.firstly i've downloaded 2ndinit v2.0 from a forum here in xda I installed the apk and went into the app it gave a msg asking should I instal latest 2ndinit or the stable I've and I installed the LATEST one.

2.I followed the instructions turned off USB debugging and rebooted twice the blue led lights up more before booting and all that is just hunky Dory...I haven't done anything in the boot menu not selected the default boot or any such thing.

3.more my main concern is making a nandroid backup! I'm running the stock motorola ROM 2.3.6 btw and rooted I forgot to mention.

4.now my question is how to make a backup using 2ndinit i've downloaded ROM manager but that not yet flashed clock work mod or anything as this is my first time doing all this i'm afraid to goo forward so plz help:(:(

I've rooted my wifes regular Defy (red lens). She'd like to try CM10 out, which I've been running for the past couple months on my Defy.

She's on stock T-Mobile US ROM and rooted. Installed version Defy 2ndInit 2.3, granted it superuser permissions, clicked the install button, and was told "success".

However, after rebooting her phone, the blue or green led never turns on like it does on my phone.

We've both been running custom ROM's for so long that I've not had to do this in a long time. Updating her from CM7 to CM10 didn't go well so I had to flash an SBF to her phone.

Any idea what I did wrong? Should I just try a different version?

Try an earlier version of 2ndInitDefy. I've been using 1.4.2 all along and it has worked with all the stock SBF's I've flashed.

The first page of this thread contains links for the apk of 2ndint if you've rooted your phone then just download the apk from the link put it into your SD card and install out normally like you would install any other app

EDIT: no need to unzip anything just put the app in the SD card and install It like any other app

2ndInit 2.3 doesn't work

Hi!

I had installed 2ndInit 2.0 and it worked fine when I set overclock. Later, I removed V2.0 (it said something that it was only a partial removal) and I installed V2.3. Now, no matter what I set in bootmenu, every clock stays at it factory defaults. I have Defy Plus with rooted "stock" V2.3.6. Why or what am I missing?

Thanks,
D.A.

Hey guys, I have never ever used a Motorola (android atleast). I'm used to Nexus and HTC phones where it's unlockable via fastboot and then you just flash whatever.

Just to make sure I don't screw it up:
I have the 2.21.1 T-Mobile Britain Éclair ROM rooted.

Reading back some pages I saw a guy mention that you use 1.4.2.apk on Eclair. I plan to make a Nandroid backup- put it on my PC, go to Froyo, make another Nandroid backup put on PC...

Just to make sure:
1) Will CWM Nandroid backups work regarding the inability to downgrade thing?
2) Reading, the APK is not easily updatable- will 1.4.2 run happily on any ROM?
3) Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks.

DO NOT FLASH THIS​
Flash 2ndinit 2.0 from the giudes over in general.
People have repeatedly said, 2.3 doesn't work.

    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.

    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 ;)
