[Q] I want to downgrade from this rom.

First, I'm sorry about my bad English.
I had troble when I applied CM9 12/7 Rom, so I restored from clockworkmod recovery, but it doesn't work!
That's why I have been flashed SBFs till now.
And I could boot my defy, but I noticed that I applied some weird Rom.
It is

What can I do?
I want to use CM7/MIUI or some other roms
Help me.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143
i didn't try it, just found it in the forum

im on the same boat.
did it work?

Look in the cm9 bug report thread I'm sure there are links and instructions for it. You have to flash cm7 kernel then do nandroid or reflash cm7.

I cant quiete figure out what you're trying to tell me Oo
so i guess you can downgrade from cm9 to ms2ginger but not to cm7? oO
im currentliy switching a lot between cm9 and cm7 so you should just go into cwm and wipe everything, install cm7 wipe again and thats it...
i dont know if you really have to wiupe twice, but thats the way i do it and it works perfectly

please post a link to the cm7 you were using. i'm thinking you used the wrong gapps. cm9's gapps doesn't work for cm7. you need to use the gapps for cm7. usually you can get cm7 gapps from the link in the first post of cm7 thread. like here:

go down to the bottom of the first post and click on "latest google apps".

[Q] Can't flash .32 ROMs, .35 works OK

Like the title said, I was trying to flash Geno or Ezet CM7 build and on both I got a boot loop. I followed the instructions to the letter, I first downgraded to Froyo (had the official GB update), did all the wipes and still nothing. Even restoring the backup image via CWM (back to official Froyo) got me into a boot loop. However, installing Aurora by dzo over the official GB rom goes without a hitch. I'd really like to try out a .32 CM7 rom, since I've heard so much good stuff about it, but just can't and Aurora does give me a few minor problems I'd rather live without (still an awesome rom, dzo is a really cool dude).

What CWM versions are you using? To install .32 ROMS, please use official 5.0.2.6, for .35 and 3.0.8 ROMS, use 5.5.0.4.

Ah, I was using 5.5.0.4 for both, I'll try the CM again with 5.0.2.6, could be the missing piece of the puzzle, thanks a lot.

How's the performance of CM9 on Defy?

Hello I have a Defy MB525 and I'd like to give it an upgrade and since there's no official Android releases above 2.2 I'm thinking about installing CM) which is 4.0 based right? I'd like to know how's the performance? does it become slower or how many bugs are? would you recommended it? thanks in advanced, it looks really good so I'd like to try it!

dear friend, trust me .you'd better use the CM9 latest by quarx's.Now we all taste the JB already
anyway the Quarx's CM series(CM7,CM9.CM10) are very perfect on Defy.
You must to try for it!:good:

for everyday rom, try cm9 by epsylon froyo kernel. I am using it and there's no issue or bug I have encountered (I use my defy as a phone).

What are the major differences between Quarx's and Epsylon ROMS? thanks you both for the info!:good:

there is no difference in both builds, afterall both are ics...
why don't you try both using multiboot and decide yourself.

I will give them a try, both releases can be found on Development section right? any link? thank you!
EDIT: Now that you mention it? how can I use multiboot? could I have stock rom and custom rom?

There is multiboot thread in development section, just go through it and you will find out how.
And yes you can have stock rom as base rom and custom rom as virtual rom as long as you have same kernel for both.( for mb525 its froyo kernel)
Btw the link for multiboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659

Thanks! Do you have by any chance the links for CM9 by Quarx and Epsylon? thank you!

NOT RECOMMENDED. The performance you'd get from a ROM installed to your microSD (that's what multiboot does!) is inferior to having installed in the ROM partition of the phone.

Cm9 by epsylon - http://defy-cm.net/
And by quarx - http://quarx2k.ru/

I will skip the installation of MultiBoot for now, but I will try either Quarx's or Epsylon's ROM, thank you!!

Defy+ from MIUI to CM10 Jelly Bean (Quarx's Build)

Hi guys,
i know that there might already be an existing thread about this but i wouldn't create one if i had found something that helps me.
Im using a Defy+ with Miui 2.3.2 and i really want to move to CM10 Jelly Bean.
I've found a really cool thread from Quarx and Epsylon about installing CM10 on a Defy+.
I already downloaded the newest release (04.09.) zip file and also the google apps and put both on my SD card.
But as it seems and as i have heard, it's not possible to move from a NON-CM version like MIUI to a CM version by going the typical steps (booting phone in recovery mode, choosing the Quarx zip file and installing it).... or am i wrong?
Can i just put firmware and google apps on my SD card and install that zip from recovery mode and everything's working well?
I didn't mention to wipe the dalvik cache here cause it's just a detail. I just wanna know if this MIUI to CM transformation is possible.
Hope you can help me, i really wanna use Quarx's CM10 cause i've heard it's amazing.
Thank you guys

is there noone who can help me with this or at least give me a link to another thread that already deals about this?

I don't think there would be any problem provided you wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM.

ahhh, now i remember which problem there was with changing from MIUI to CM.
Doesnt MIUI use another kernel than Quarx's newest CM?

Unless and utill you downgraded your kernel to the froyo one, you won't have any issues. I have flashed WIUI GB version for Defy+ and for me the kernel is still the stock one.

Can anyone hep me with this? I had miui then tried to flash cm10, i followed all the steps but when booting up for first time it got stuck miui screen. I guess this means i have the wrong kernel but im not sure how to correct it

1. Flash a new kernel OR
2. Flash your stock SBF, re-root and go from there OR
3 (New option now) Flash the latest quarx JB CM10 with custom kernel included.

[Q] Do anyone know what is the usage of kernel-milestone2-uk_2.2.1-froyo from tezet

After intalling CM10 by tezet, I find that I still prefer the CM7 by tezet. So I decide to install CM7 instead CM10. But when I installed CM10, I installed kernel-milestone2-cn-2.3.4-4.5.3.
So my question is that whether I need install kernel-milestone2-uk_2.2.1-froyo before installing CM7?
Thanks in advance.

same question here hope some one could shed some light.
before i went to cm10 i was on stock froyo though 2.2.

You should be able to flash CM7 with that chinese kernel you flashed, just remember to do a full backup and full wipe, you're downgrading.
Get the 2.2.1 UK kernel and put it in your SD card, just in case something goes wrong even if you get into bootloops you should be able to get to the bootmenu.
If you still cannot get into bootmenu, recover your phone with an SBF.
Good luck

Yes, you need to instal this kernel, else you stuck on boot logo. It looks like new CM7 builds doesn't contains kernel.

although someone has answered you question,I wanna answer that again.
Yes,you mus install it before installing CM7.Kernel is most important. The whole system is complied with special kernel Version.

I didn't include kernel not on purpose Will fix this next time...

I'm with the same question so correct me if i'm wrong,
For all who want to downgrade from cm10 to cm7 and are using CH-GB kernel have to:
1 - flash Froyo Kernel
2 - flash latest cm7
3 - install gapps
My question is, can I install this kernel by "install from zip" mode?
