Please let me know if it worked for you or if there were any differences.

Did it yesterday night from stock 2.1-update and my GPS is working accordingly in google maps.

Although I did not had much time testing, it seens to me that everything is OK.

I was using CLARO operator from Brasil.


Best regards, Fernando Dallabeneta.

I have enabled "ADB Daemon" from BootMenu and now that I log in I can see that there is indeed no /dev/block/mmcblk0*.  However these are listed in /proc/partitions.  So I can

# cd /dev/block/
# mknod mmcblk0 b 179 0
# mknod mmcblk0p1 b 179 1
Then install the update from ClockworkMod, and I have a progress bar....

....and the phone reboots with a Google logo rather that Moto, and eventually I get a screen with a green grass background!  I even seem to be able to make calls, and WiFi seems to work.

OK!, so, what is the consequence of not having gone via a 2.2 system?

I saw this error in my Defy when I installed the custom recovery in my Defy with Android 2.1, and I only have to reboot after install the recovery, and reboot again, and that's all.
Try to do the reboots and maybe you can solve the problem.

Good luck

# mknod mmcblk0 b 179 0
# mknod mmcblk0p1 b 179 1

Greetings!

I'm quite desperate here, comrades: I've successfully installed Cyanogen 7.1 on my Defy and then my girlfriend asked me to do the same with her smartphone (which is also a Defy MB525). So I spent more than six hours trying to solve the problem mentioned in this thread and had no success so far. Here's what I got:



Her Defy is running an Android 2.1, and I was unable to update it to 2.2 Froyo since Motorola Software Update doesn't recognize the rooted device anymore. So yeah, I'm totally lost here. Could any of you guys give me a hand? I tried almost everything I found online. You are my last hope to not make her angry.

Thanks in advance,
Resh

PS: I've read endecotp's post on the "ADB Daemon" solution, but I could not fully understand how it works.

PS Update: I tried the steps mentioned on http://wiki.cyanogen...orola_Defy:_FAQ and got the same answers posted by alexvvvv. In other words: no progress.

Final PS: I did it! (Oh the happiness of a noob!)

*PROBLEM SOLVED*

Hello,

Problem solved! First I followed the instructions on this tutorial in order to update Android 2.1 to 2.2.1. Then I followed a youtube tutorial which I transcribe below:

Quote

1 Put the cyanogen zip on your SDCARD

2 Enable USB debugging

3 Root defy with SuperOneClick

4 Connect DEFY on PC, open SOC and press "root"

5 Done, disconnect and reboot phone

6 install SndInitDefy_2.0.apk on phone (using ASTRO, for instance)

7 run and press "install 2nd init recovery" - latest version (I was not using the latest version earlier because it did not light up the blue LED)

8 allow super users requests

9 power off defy

10 turn on (when LED lights blue, press volume down)

11 recovery, custom recovery and then wipe data/factory

12 "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip"

13 CM7, select and install Jordan signed zip

14 go back

15 reboot (may took a while)

I hope it helps other noobs! See ya!

@endecotp - thanks man. Same problem here - glad you figured it out as i wouldn't have thought of that.

Also to anyone else that's reading. Went straight from Eclair to CM 7. Nothing odd to report. Camera, Phone, wifi all working. Great ROM - thanks to the whole CM team for a great rom + endecotp for the tip so i can use it. Very Happy

for anyone stuggling with this.

Continue with the install.
