If you habe empty images you don't need to wipe.
Otherwise backup your android_secure-folder.

I try to find a solution to this problem.

I have the same error like tejus.k.v
Reinstalling boot menu

for me the prob was that I put the img files in sdcard root instead of in the folder fsimages (first post)

Hey m11kkaa wassup?

1st of thanks for this thread and all your help I greatly appreiate this.

About a week ago or so, I first read someone asking if dual boot would be possible and thought that it would take a while to come through.. Until 2 days ago, someone suggest me to use it: perfect timmming for ICS alpha builds and just plain awesome!!

OK, just to be safe before my 3rd ICS builds multiboot install.., cache and Dalvik cache wipes should not cause problem aren't they?

That's it! Thanks again.

 

[m11kkaa]

I think this should be safe but I didn't try it.
The safest way would be to backup/rename the folder before wiping

sorry my english google translator

I tried using the various forms here ms2ginger as stable and as miui latest CM7 or did not get in any more
ms2ginger stable in the works there put one in there when I walk into latest 2nd-boot and it turns red LED does not turn the other rom pq know someone, or if only the CM7 and miui that work?

Same problem, I think both the ROMs should use the same kernel. ms2ginger uses a different kernel than cm7,cm9 and miui.

 

[m11kkaa]

Yes, that's the limitation of the Defy. You can only use one kernel.
Maybe you find a kernel which works with both rom's.

Good to know.

Here CM7/ICS works fine and I just I just wiped cache and Dalvik cache before install and no biggie except that the recovery has a tendency to give black screens on "go back" selections. --> just a long press the power button and menu's back.

ICs finally has sound and phone signal: cool stuff!!

 

[krd_medico]

Is it possible to use cm7 as real rom and ms2ginger as virtual rom ?

 

[Cassinander]

Already i'm using in real Cm7 and in virtual Cm9 Test 111129, i want to install Cm9 111130 in virtual now, how do i this? Wipe data only? Wipe data/ Dalvik cache? This done is in Custom Recovery or Stable? Thanks

Is it possible to use cm7 as real rom and ms2ginger as virtual rom ?

The answer is only 4-5 posts above: no, because these ROMs use differrent kernel and there´s no way to change the kernel on a running system.

 

[m11kkaa]

Theoretically you could replace Stock Recovery with an boot-image with another kernel.

Then you would have to hold down Vol-Down to boot.
I didn't tried that but it really could work. This way you would have 2 kernels on Defy

I believe the easiest way to clean install to virtual, is to boot into real system (CM7), replace system.img, data.img and cache.img in /sdcard/fsimages with a clean one from first page.

@Cassinander: If you are comfortable with ADB you can boot into Latest/Custom Recovery, enable ADB, go into mounts&stoarge and mount data and cache and then execute the following commands via ADB:

rm -Rf /data/*
rm -Rf /cache/*

Thanks, thanks for fast answer for me, but dont know work with ADB, if you teach
me can i do this, or other way?

 

[m11kkaa]

I think replacing the fsimages like bobo9900 said is the easiest way for you.

1- I replace with some 3 files of before instalation, posted in first post?

2- If i to want do by ADB, where is this? In the Recovery Reboot, see unmount options, but no mount data/cache options. Help me learn, please.
