[Q] Can't flash any rom using CyanogenDefy?

Hello there. First of all I am a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROMs. Q&As and Guides didn't help me...

I have a Defy + MB526 , rooted ( flashed sbf because I have bl7). Stock 2.3.6
I have installed latest 2nd init using the apk.
USB debugging enabled.

The problem is that I can't flash any zip from CyanogenDefy custom recovery( Accessed using android bootmenu at reboot).
I've wiped everything before trying to flash Cm 10.2 JB. It says error 7 installation aborted every time. I did try a bunch of other versions and roms.
I created a nandroid backup using the custom recovery but I couldn't use it to recover, first because of a md5 mismatch (which I fixed) and then because of another error at the end ( some stuff couldnt be recovered). When I boot up I can't open any app, it says " Application not installed". I've tried using the 2GB card that came with the phone, same thing happens. I ended up erasing everything



What am I doing wrong? Please help me
This is ny first android phone, never installed any custom ROM before but I read its harder for the Defy though.

Come on, 60 views and no replies? Any help would be very appreciated!

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I did root my phone about 2 years ago, but good to know such an app exists.
I didn't open the archives, I just pasted it on my phone's SD card. I did try again by formatting the card inside the phone and re downloading. Same thing happens.

SD Card does work fine.
In the meantime, I tried flashing a rom again. This time I get error status 0;
After that I've successfully flashed the latest twrp, wiped, tried to install but still status 0.
I'm trying to install the MoKee rom.

EDIT:
I tried installing CM 10.2.
I get the same errors like for MoKee:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 0)
*Verifying filesystems...
*Verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cm-10.2-20131020-NI
