i have a defy + mb526 bl7 (rooted ). i want to install the defy+++ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776161 rom.
bit in the thread it says for red lens version i need to install a gingerbread kernel before installing the defy+++ mod.
my confision is as far as i know the mb526 is a gingerbread device and runs on 2.3.6.
so do i need to install the gingerbread kernel?
i haven't installed any custom roms before so my qstn migjt be a little funny for u guys. please help.
No. Anyhow the latest CM9 ROM uses a 2nd boot kernel.

Can I flash the Defy XT or Defy+ ROM on my Green Lens Defy?
Someone link me?
yes you can use Defy+ roms on defy but only if it has 2nd boot.
Eg. MS2Ginger 5, CM10, CM9, Slim Bean, PAC, AOKP, Paranoid, etc.

So, no way to install the stock mb526 2.3.7 ROM?
Actually It's not urgent, as I've upgraded to an xperia Z, but my defy on CM 10 lags very very badly. Almost un-usable. So needed help :/
Don't ever try to install defy+'s stock 2.3.6 on Defy.
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
About SBF and CG version, if you install stock 2.3.6 on defy, you won't be able to revert back to 2.2 again, let alone many problem like camera won't work or battery stats malfunction.
If You want 2.3+ roms, use custom roms like those hackergnome suggested. (MS2Ginger was a modded stock 2.3.6 and can be used on MB525 without problem.)
Yes MS2 Ginger is the best gb rom in terms of stability!

Is it a bad idea? will it give any problems?
Only battery may give issues without a battery patch in the gingerbread roms including stock. All 2ndboot builds will work the same way.
Oh, and model will change to defy+(cosmetic)

Check your version in settings, should be something like dfp231(not android version)

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-161_HE this is the sbf that i accedently flashed.
is it reversable?
Here's the deal. DFP 161 is a BL6 sbf not a BL5. So if you came from froyo (probably 99.9% of all Defy's start on froyo), you cannot flash a froyo sbf otherwise you will get a black screen. However, as long as you stay away from BL7, there are plenty of ROMs and BL6 sbfs to choose from.
Actually, there is a Chinese BL6 froyo SBF, I used it once as a stepping stone to recover my phone, but it's saddled with bloatware and not good for daily use. Try DFP-125, it's a rock-solid stock ROM.
Check out Walter's sticky here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 it's got all the SBFs.
And if i use a 125 (fot plus?) I will use it to use a cm7.2 or other gb rom? Or to use it as a stepping stone to get back?
Yes you can do that. But why do you want to flash the defy+ variant?
If you do that, you will have to use defy+ variant of cm7. If you want to use the defy variant, you must flash the froyo bl6 sbf and then flash any rom. ON STOCK ROM OF FROYO BL6 SBF DO NOT USE THE CAMERA OR YOUR FLASH WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN. You can use it on cm7 though

Its sounds scary to.me, what i ment to say is that cm7.2is giving me errors on my mb526. And i recall that on my original defy it worked well soi wanted to know if thers a way to turn it back to 525 and flash cm7.2
The errors described should be fixable with a data and cache wipe

i tried to flash cm7.2 again on a 125 dfp sbf; no use still getting those errors as the phone come up even after 3 wipes
Try flashing system wiper script before installing rom. Also try more recent roms like cm10,cm10.1

Hm. This is really strange.
If you've already flashed a defy+ sbf that's not BL5 or lower, then it is not possible to go back to a MB525 ROM. I think you should give CM10 a try.

I'm pretty sure wiping /system on a locked bootloader will give you a brick and force one to flash another sbf, but that might be the solution in this case.
Wiping /system by itself does not brick the device; since he will be flashing the ROM immediately after it will be a clean install. The device is bricked if after wiping system no ROM is flashed and the user reboots

A small request for help as the topic (going through many guides but always with the massacre came out
or a link to a patch for the camera?
There's no green lens camera patch for stock. Use cm7 latest or cm9,cm10,cm10.1
