Please help - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed my defy with a Chinese sbf which upgraded it to version 5. I found this sbf and flashed it: 4.5.1-134_DFP-132. I have no camera now. I am assuming I have a green lens defy which is why it is not working but I cannot install 2nd init to use the greenbread mod. Keeps saying parsing problem with the package. Please help!!

Install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=792601&d=1322064151 (2ndinit v2.0) and download latest recovery.
But... as far as I know Greenbread mod is not working with green lensed Defy`s flashed to 2.3.6 so you`re stuck with not working camera.
But, you can try installing latest Cyanogen mod for Defy+ which should work fine with your green lensed camera.

try this

That will not work. the sbf he istalled is level 6!, and that procedure is for 2.3.4 level 5, so you're stuck in 2.3.6 at level 6, the best chance is use the CM7 for defy+ like said marko1103
--edit--
Try this! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398031, is the CM7.2 for GB kernel, but there's not camera fix for green lense! :S
here is the walter79 post about 4.5.1-134_DFP-132
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375701
Good luck!

Level 6? It's new for me.. I haven't read about it before.
Anyway, sorry for bad information. I see now it won't work.

[Q] Wrong sbf for my defy

Hello, could you help me please.
I have a defy regular with green lens and i have flash with defyplus u3_4.5.1-134
I can't donwgrade it with other sbf, always red M and reboot or black screen.
With this sbf i don't have speaker and can't download to the market.
What should i do ?
Thank's a lot for your reply.

I believe you got yourself in trouble here. You flashed a Defy + Rom on the Original Defy? Well now you can't downgrade. But dont worry because the official Gingerbread works fine but I can't be too sure about the camera..
If you want the link to the official Motorola 2.3.4 SBF just let me know
Flash another sbf - the one that's meant for yours!

That's a 2.2.1 sbf. He is on 2.3 full sbf with no downgrade so he can't use
that.
ok , i don't know why but most of function are ok.
Just the camera doesn't work : black screen.
Is there a issue for green lens for u3.4.5.1-134 ?
Thanks.

Arrrggggggghhhhh
With green lens defy you are not supposed to flash defy+ Roms and kernels. Because the green lens camera is not compatible with any Motorola gingerbread Rom.
You can use greenbread mod I think. Search greenbread mod by walter79 on xda. Fingers crossed.

[Q] Defy BL7 install CM7 error :(

ok... managed to root the phone
installed 2nd init 1.4.2 for defy

it says it's not signed...

I'm not really sure about the version numbers :/ Did you select "Latest" and not "Stable" recovery to be installed? You need "Latest"..!
Other than that... You are stuck on bl7 means that you are on 2.3.6, right? I think that official CM7.2 RC is a Froyo ROM. I could be wrong though. And even if it is, it still should flash it normally. (but you would end up being stuck at boot logo..!)
Anyway, Quarx's are the best Gingerbread builds (and latest) - http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/
P.S. You've posted in the wrong sub-forum
But the cammera will works (green lens Defy with BL7)? Also, I think he need to change that batt file? Where is it located and what's its name?

Oh, yeah, right, Quarx's Gingerbread builds are meant for an actual DEFY+ so you need the Defy battery fix (you can use the one provided by Auris for CM9, it's the same thing).
I have no idea about the SOC camera and BL7, though :-/ You can flash Froyo (CM7) kernel once you have CWM? Have no idea if it would work :S
the phone is rooted and i have 2nd init on it installed.... what now?
i want my camera and my battery back...
can i install CM 7 ?

Should I install CM9 kernel?

I have a Defy, installed the 4.5.1 DHT25 rooted SBF.
Then I install CM9 using the instructions stated in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618904
When I reboot, it goes to flash rom screen, showing error:
Err: A5,70,00,00,3D
Should I install the CM9 kernel as stated?
or as I'm using the 2.3.6 Defy+ SBF, I don't need to install CM9 kernel?
Ya u should install
I think cm9 won't work with 4.5xx kernels

You are using a 2.3.6 DEFY+ SBF? It's bl6 or bl7, either way you can not flash those kernel zips, they are meant for lower bl versions. Make sure you are flashing a Gingerbread (or jordanplus or DEFY+, it's named in many ways) ROM and skip the kernel flashing step.

What the hell? See this - link. Can you see 4.5.x in the middle of the name of every of those stock sbf files? Any ROM built for Gingerbread will work with any of those kernels.
Hi,
That partially answered my query. I would welcome if you could answer my query in some detail.
On my defy with green lens I first ported original stock Froyo then installed GGL ROM. After that I installed CM9-NIGHTLY-120617-Defy.zip but did not install any kernel.zip as suggested by other forums. And then installed gapps-ics-4.0.3-20111217 and most of the things including Opera Mobile, Camera except panorama/FC on stop thereof and GPS and few apps that I use. Opera Mini is not working where I live even via 3G.
Now my question was whether any GB kernel marked for Defy (or even Defy+) work for such CM9-ICS update.
My current kernel via GGL is [email protected] #1 Wed Apr 6 15:55:29 CST 2011.
Is there any other better kernel than the above that you my suggest?
Thanks.

If you flash a Gingerbread kernel (also named CM9 kernel) your camera won't work. Green lens doesn't have compatible drivers on Gingerbread.
Why would you want Opera Mini when you have Opera Mobile working?
If you want a fully functional ROM, I suggest you switch to some of the CM7.2 builds or MIUI Pikachu Edition or WIUI GB. These are all great, stable, fast and pretty much bug-free.
As for the kernels, changing them doesn't help much in my experience, but I do know that Epsylon somehow added some libraries (thought they are onlu meant to fix wifi tethering on CM9 as far as I know) in the Froyo kernel available on his site. You could try it - http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/ . (This one: kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip)
I see that you used the oldest gapps possible, I'm not sure why. Get the latest zip from here (ics version is for CM9, yes) - http://goo.im/gapps/
So, what I suggest to you if you want to stick with CM9:
1 - get the latest gapps, get that kernel and you already have the latest CM9
2 - full wipe (data/cache/dalvik)
3 - install zip - kernel
4 - install zip - ROM
5 - install zip - latest gapps
6 - wipe cache and dalvik (not necessary)
7 - reboot and see how it goes
Panorama still won't work after that, that's for sure, but I don't know what other problems you've experienced....
But why doesnt it work with 4.5.x kernels?
Mine s defy ...I'm using cm9 ( defy + gb kernel build) so cm9 doesnt bootup wid those kernels...why?

I really can't figure out what you are saying. Which CM9 build are you talking about exactly? Which kernel(s?) are you talking about exacly? Would be good if you could give me the links to both, so we can resolve the confusion

its work on DEFY
im on CM9-NIGHTLY-120609-Defy+.zip and 4.5.2_DHT-22_kernel work great
but u MUST flash cm9 kernel ...reboot and 4.5.2_DHT-22_kernel...
i dont know why it happened but i forgot to do it many times and my defy cant get even to recovery
i need to flash full SBF to fix this...i hate when its happened....(i will really glad if there are other way)
i really hope for that u done backup for your apps
p.s.
u must flash DEFY+ version for GB kernel
and DEFY for Froyo kernel
Thank you niksy on your info on kernels. However CM9 works well on defy with green lens except for the panorama mode.
I found the old gapps smaller in size. However after your post I reinstalled a later one.
I prefer Opera mini as it has a smaller mem footprint. Since mini is not working here I use Boat browser mini which is quite comparable to Opera mini in speed,
However I have one issue on CM9 when I copied SIM contacts. My phone book got bloated to over 3 times the size with some of the entries duplicated from 2 to 5 times!
With MIUI/WIUI/WP7 I feel the originality of Android is lost with those boxed icons.
Besides I read in one of the posts in xda that WIUI ICS is based on CM9.

[q] bl7 miui

Hello guys !
I have a Defy+ with BL7 and I want to install MIUI.
Is any solution to do it ?
Thanks
Accidentally clicked "thanks" :/
Check out XIUI, it's in the defy general section!
No problem
Why don't you try stable gb miui build that released recently.
Here is the link for download, http://www.mediafire.com/?1izcl565wllkf90
