[Kitkat][Nightlies] CM11 Android 4.4 for the Defy(+)

[fabo.92]

Does anyone have a link to the 20-10-14 nightly or any other stable nightly not the latest ones?

cm-11-20141020-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip: http://api.quarx.cm-for.us/download...1.0&filename=cm-11-20141020-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip
For any other previous version just edit the link!

Painlessly installed cm-11-20141028-NIGHTLY-mb52x on my spare phone, almost.

I just got a used MB526 on eBay to have as a spare phone. I dropped in the SIMM card from my daily driver MB526 phone and went through the process of rooting the phone and installing the new bootstrap.zip and resize.zip files and then the most current ROM on Quarx's server. This worked very slick with no hitch until the final boot when I was met with a message that said, "Enter PUK" followed by an "Unlock" and a "Dismiss" button. I have never needed to enter a PIN or password for my service provider, so I don't "think" that this is my SIMM card causing the problem. What is the solution to this? Thanks.

Way to fix low /data space!

Solution:

Mount a 2nd primary ext4 partition from sdcard!

Edit ramdisk for this:

fstab.mapphone_umts

replace:

/dev/block/mmcblk[COLOR=Red]1p7[/COLOR]   /data                  ext4      noatime,nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc      wait,check

with

/dev/block/mmcblk[COLOR=Red]0p2[/COLOR]    /data                  ext4      noatime,nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc      wait,check

Attached boottools that i used for this and modded ramdisks.

- replace and rename ramdisk /bootstrap/bootstrap/2ndboot
- you can do this in twrp (mount bootsrap first)
- permissions 644

I'm using the motorola bravo, mb520, and trying to upgrade to new cm11 builds but can't get there. I was on cm7 build and tried upgrading to cm10.2 to get twrp to flash new bootstrap. After flashing bootstrap, when loading recovery I can't access the sdcard. I sbf'ed to stock and then rooted and then used adb shell to flash bootstrap img and still no access to sdcard. Without access to sdcard I'm stuck. Any help is appreciated.

Edit, just flashed sbf again, root and bootmenu, non quarx cm7, cm10.2, then update recovery file to try to get old cm11 builds again and after update recovery flashed, again no access to sdcard. Why won't it mount the sdcard, can I force mount it?

Short answer: your card is wrongly formatted (actually, it needs a correct partition table). You can fix it with a tool like Linux's GParted or by using a different card (I fixed my problem by using a very old 2GB card I had in another phone, worked perfectly right away.)

Long answer: Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634794&page=2 :good:

I have tried the PUK code of the card that I am using now with no luck. Is it possible that the phone is locked to the PUK of the previous user? I've rooted and installed the most current nightly Quarx build as well as the new bootstrap and resize zips with no problems other than this.

Here,

is the appropriate thread for unsimlocking our Defy phones (...just found it).
It is dated. Looks like we may be SOL w/the newer ROMS.

Like Thobwa I'd like to know if anyone has links for older versions please.

Specifically I'd like 0923 (original), because I'm not game to do the newlife stuff on my wife's phone, but would like to update its current version (0901).

Update: tried method suggested by fabo.92 but no luck for September versions.

I rebooted into Android, started a Terminal session and cat the bootstrap_ext3.img into mmcblk1p1. No problem here. After rebooting again i booted into TWRP recovery and installed 2014-10-28-build. That runs without problem again, no data loss, everything is fine and running.

Do you think the system is in a stable state now?

Yes. So far there haven't been any reports of partition corruption with the fixed new_bootstrap.zip from 2014-10-13.

P.S I tried Nandroid Backup, it worked fine. But i saw backup option only. How do i perform a restore if necessary?

Online Nandroid Backup is just for making backups. Restore is always done in TWRP.

Not sure whether Defy is also suffered from this issue, but maybe this is of interrest for developers:

If not, or already know - sorry.

Finally i can resolve my Telephony Layer problems changing my sim card with one brand new . Also i buy a new motherboard for my defy now i have GPS and a Red lens

Here a tutorial for Sim Unlocking in Android 4.4

1-Check if your baseband is EPU93_U_00.59.01 ... because is the only that works the sim unlocking. If not in the zip there is a SBF you can flash with RSD Lite
2-Reemplace bp_ptc in /system/bin and init.mapphone_umts.rc in / ... FIX PERMISSIONS !
4-Reboot and Enjoy
