Unfortunatelly I don't have permissions to reply in this topic, so I created this one.
I have Installed CM7.2 (from Quarx) on stable recovery and ICS to latest recovery. I use multiboot for this.
Everything worked good, but one of the newest version of ICS has newer kernel, so after I choose it phone just stucks at Moto logo...
So I have 2 questions:
1) Is it possible to get working new ICS on multiboot?
2) If no, how can I delete ICS from latest recovery and install there other firmware?
Thanks

Nope its not possible to have the newer versions including 111207 on multiboot!
to get rid of ICS in the latest boot you can just flash an other .zip over it, like miui or stuff...
hope it helped, greetz Esok
It is possible
Yes, it is possible. The only vital pre-requisite is to upgrade the main CM7 system to 2.3.4 kernel version.
But before, take care of:
1. The 2.3.4 kernel has some issue regarding camera, specially green lens (I think it doesn't work yet). Red lens work great, after a few work around with some overlay libs. (all this stuff very well described on CM7 thread).
2. Once you upgrade the kernel, you could install CM9 latest test builds.
pros:
- both systems running latest GB kernel (remember be sure to use 2.3.4)
- great to have CM7 and CM9.
cons:
- be sure to fix your camera in CM7. (of course, hope you have red lens )
- in my case: CM9 boot, but it doesn't detect the baseband (if I check "About phone" Baseband details show "Unknown"). WiFi work Ok.
I really appreciate any advice in this last comment.
Happy holidays
Hello everyone
Well, I had this phone since a couple of months ago, to be exact the u8800-51 here in Chile (entel), and I decided finally to update the OS to Android 2.3.7 using CyanogenMod-7.1.0-u8800pro-Geno. It is quite good compared with custom 2.2 Froyo, but I have a problem with one of its bugs: when the screen turns off, my phone turns off and I supposed that it is something in relation with that mod.
My question is: do you know some 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 mod to u8800-51 STABLE with no reboot bug, please?
Thanks in advance, if you need more info tell me.

I'm not sure if there's a stable CM9 release for Defy.

After the update..
I'm using 06.04 by Epsylon3 with Froyo kernel and green lens: I find it stable enough, good for day to day usage. There's no CM9 stable version, not even a RC one.
You can overclock the CPU from the bootmenu, although CM9 comes with 1GHz standard. Maybe undervolt it a bit.

We need froyo kernel because we have SOC (green) camera ;-(
So we need to flash CM7 kernel too. If you use CM9 kernel, then your SOC camera will not work
Procedures in this thread in the first post
I also had to flash ICS Gapps zip (somehow ommited in the procedure)
You can use mentioned nightly - works fine
I would propose to use titanium backup from the market to backup all your apps with data - then you can simply restore them back with all data inside (but your apps - do not restore system apps)
Hi everyone,
I was trying to post this in another thread but I'm unable to post in the Development sector.
I have a Motorola Defy+ running the Android 2.3.5, I've tested the following ROM's:
CM9 by quarx
CM9 by Epsylon
Both runs just fine, but I was thinking this weekend to test another rom's to have new experiences and found out about the MIUI, which seens to be a very good rom.
But the fact is that I'm facing some troubles trying to run this rom.
Everytime I try to apply it, the Recovery says to me that the install went ok, but once I reboot the phone, I got stuck in the Motorola Bootloader screen, and I have to flash a stock SBF again.
I've tried the STABLE (GB) and the BETA (ICS), both got the same problem.
Different versions of 2ndinit (1.4, 2.0, 2.3).
Does anyone know why I'm having this problems?
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
AFAIK, MIUI requires Froyo kernel and Defy+ has GB kernel.

MIUI is a froyo based ROM.
Downgrade to froyo if you need to flash it..

Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35464658
skeevy420 posted a port of a CM 7.2 ROM. It's the best IMO. Ask anyone here, cm 7.2 is the best running ROM for the bravo.
Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port

I think I read somewhere how to backup the stock ROM but I haven't researched how to do that.
What I would do instead would be to:
1. Root your phone with SuperOneClick http://shortfuse.org or an alternative.
2. Download Titanium backup from the market
3. Backup up apps and data using that
IMO, once you install a ROM, you won't want to go back to stock, but if you ever want the stock firmware, you can easily flash the .sbf file to the bravo, which will restore your phone to its factory new state (then repeat steps 1 & 2, and on step 3 you'll restore the apps and data).
To backup the stock rom, root it and install Defy 2nd-init. Then boot into recovery and make a nandroid.
As fas as the sbf being the "stock rom", not all Bravos come with the ATT SBF software on them. A good example was that user who installed CM7 and lost the 900\1800 baseband since its not available in the baseband switcher.
Read the Guide Its for the Defy, but a lot of the information is the same for us. Just ignore the parts about the Defy SBFs and CG Values.
