First I got the phone with this version originally:
4.5.1-134_DFP-125
I want to install MS2Ginger because I want the multitouch and the 720p module.
I follow the instructions but I got bootloader error.
OK fine! I use RSD lite. Installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375701
The SBF works(I know lost the downgrade abality, but I think it was originally has no option for this)
But If I wants the 720p again. In the Thread instructions said that nandroid will do the trick
But no hope. The bootloader error appers again. (the full sbf corrects)
What I am doing wrong?
What is that bootloader error? bootloop maybe? I have this rom too and ewerythings OK.
Did you use 2ndinit 2.0 for nandroid restore?
Restored boot,devtree and recovery too? did you try wipe data/cache?
I Do exactly the same(in Quote), but when I rebooting the phone i got this error:
----------
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
------------
The only chance to bring back the phone, is the RSD Lite
INSTALL:
To begin:
Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Install method for MS2Ginger2.1:
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk

Select "Advance Restore"
Select "ms2ginger..." and confirm
Select "devtree" and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"

works on my 2.3. 6 defy+
I am currently using the latest CM7.2-Nightly for Defy+ with the camera and battery fix attached in that post. It is very, very stable and with the fix, the battery charges up to 100%.
Installation:
!!!Read all steps before you do them!!!
1. Copy the three files linked above and the CM7-Google-Apps to your SD-Card.
2. Root your defy. I used this method.
3. Install 2nd-init recovery:
3.1 Download the app SndInitDefy from here
3.2 Install and start the app. Press on "Install 2nd-init Recovery".
3.3 Choose "Latest Recovery"
3.4 Allow the superuser-request
4. If the LED is green now, you can reboot your Defy. Press Vol-Down when you see the blue LED
5. Now you should get into the bootmenu. You can navigate with the volume keys there. Choose "Recovery" and press the power button to select.
6. Now choose "Custom Recovery"
7. Choose "install zip from sdcard" and install the downloaded zips:
7.1 Install cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip
7.2 Install gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
7.3 Install the fixes (the two other zips)
8. Now you have to do a factory reset. After that all your apps and settings will be deleted. If you want to keep them, you must backup the apps/settings first. You could do that with the app TitaniumBackup.
9. Choose "wipe data/factory reset" to do this factory reset.
10. Reboot the defy now. If you stil see the boot animation after five minutes, reboot the defy (I think you must remove the battery and put them into the phone again).
Now you should have a defy with CyanogenMod 7!
possible, in posibble?
188 2.3.6 motorola defy+ their full SBF will not work the root of the superoneclickk 2.3.3 not possible
WARNING!!!
The below guide is useless! It instructs you to download 2ndinit 2.0 which DOES NOT BOOT on Defy+ I have thus far killed 2 phones using it!!! Only use 1.4.2 no later. Thanks! =)

That's strange...
For me it works well, i installed CWM sucessfully on both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 devices. I was using the original firmware (from factory) for the 2.3.4 device and at the second device i flashed a 2.3.6 DFP-139 sbf form droid-developers.org. After installing the latest recovery and removing the "2nd-init Defy" app, I rebooted the phones and everything worked fine.
When you start the phone, do you see the blue led then? If not, you don't have installed 2nd-init correctly. If yes, try to 'wipe data/factory reset' the phone (you should have a backup, this erases all your user data which is not stored on the sd card and all your apps). If the phone is still not booting, you/the 2nd-init installer have/has made a wrong change to the system partition.
Then you should try to flash a new 2.3.4 SBF (look here and also here) and try it one more time.

thank you very much mister ypsilon...
your method works perfectly...camera works...though i cant find out how to check if its charging full, (it shows upto 100%, is that all i need ?)
i have some minor problems though:
1)sometimes when i go out of coverage area and come back, the phone doesn't regain the signal
2)there is no 720p recording...had that in the stock ROM...
i want to try 7.2 cm7 for defy+ but on dual boot, did any one tried ??? plz procedure guyz.

afaik you absolutely have to dual boot a defy/defy+...because of the locked bootloader you cant remove the stock rom...
follow the above instructions carefully and you will have a cm7.2...then you can dual boot by selecting the preferred entry from the menu....

Bro even I have done this n times! In fact I had stock 2.3.4 which I upgraded to 2.3.6 by a full SBF flash and since then I have rooted using superoneclick and installed recovery many times and it works perfectly! The only issue however is that there are less frequent releases for 2.3.6 as compared to the Froyo kernel!

Hi,
Good to know new Defy+ are coming in India with latest updates! I too have the very same SBF in my phone. As you said rooting and all not a problem. No need to flash any specific SBF as such. A nandroid backup is recommended in case you want to come back to where you left before flashing! And if you want back warranty just flash the SBF with RSD lite(Walter's thread has the SBF and even I can give you the link if you want.).
For your second answer:
This SBF has BL6. So you cannot go back to any ROM or sbf which has a previous version. Thus, walter said about unability to flash MIUI or CM7. However, you can flash CM7.2 for Defy+ or CM9 for Defy+(By quarx). Just flash the CM. No need to flash any kernel. It worked fine for me. You can even try dual boot and that too works great.
Happy flashing!
thnx a tonne....I was wanting cm7 fr its completeness....n cm9 fr awesomeness.....thnx again....
Also....can u give a link to the best cm7.2 build fr us....?

Bro, dont speak from ignorance, especially when it can lead to others ending up in a bad place. The latest versions of 2.3.6 eg 4.5.1-134-DFP-188 can not be rooted by any currently known exploit, so you have to be careful when choosing an sbf to flash. See here for which versions can and can't be rooted.
There's even a whole thread all of its own where people are trying to root the latest 2.3.6 releases, here.

Yep, I realised it later and saw the whole discussion about 188 version SBFs with BL7! Sorry, if that was offending!!

http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/ That is CM7 nightlies for Defy+ by Quarx!!
Followed the steps listed by Mister Ypsilon, on to my new Defy+ which used to run Motorola Stock with Motoblur. So far looks good. I will post further regarding the battery.
The only glitch that I faced after installing the ROM is that it always froze at the Boot Animation. I had to pull the battery almost 5-6 times and then magically it started to work. Boots within 10 second from the Motorola Logo.
Not sure if the battery pulls were because of something that I did wrong.
Thank you Mister Ypsilon.

Search for Multuboot v0.8, its a flashable ziped file, through which you can dual boot, i have tried and it works perfect !! :laugh:
You will need 3 img files also ,so that your 2nd rom can be installed is sd card with atleast 900 MB of space ..

Hi, first you have to check the camera module of your defy. If it's Bayer you shouldn't have any problems... SOC modules will have to make extra work
I updated my defy using a nandroid of 2.3.6 defy+, all I did was wipe data/cache and backup froyo (just in case) and do this:
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Custom Recovery"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Restore" (system+data)
Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132..." and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Select "Advance Restore"
Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132r..." and confirm
Select "boot" and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Select "Advance Restore"
Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132..." and confirm
Select "devtree" and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Select "Advance Restore"
Select "4.5.3-134_DFP-132..." and confirm
Select "recovery" and confirm
Reboot
As far as I know you can downgrade to froyo with this but I'm not very sure about it
I have green lens so wat to do? will above steps work??

Did you check with catlog the camera module? I think there are Bayer modules with green lens too

hi thank you
-did you try that and how was it
-do i need to flash my defy
Ok, first update to froyo (that's the 2.2 firmware). We are not going to flash a higher firmware directly (sbf) because otherwise you can't downgrade anymore if you need to claim warranty.
Go to setting > about > someting with version and look for check for update. If it didn't work/can't find it, no prob. Just download this sbf.
Read Here how to. Read it trough (also if you did manage to get service update).
Then root it (google super one click root).
Install 2nd init (google 2nt init defy xda).
Chose a rom (best options would be: CM7 => latest nightly from here or WIUI or picatchu something ....)
Most(exept Walters/Defy+ rom's) times the the update procedure is like stated in the guide in the OP of This. Just replace WIUI zip with the chosen rom.
thank you labsin
thanks a lot.
i did:
Setting>About phone>System update>check for system updates.
but the phone says:
Your device is up to date! No update necessary.
*is that means i don't need to update to froyo (that's the 2.2 firmware)?.
*and if i should to update to froyo2.2, Will i face some network problems because i'm living in Algeria?
thank you again!
No you won't have any network problems.
First download this sbf. It's an European deblured(so you don't have to register with motorola after you installed it as you're not going to stay there long).
How to flash sbf-file
- Download and install Motorola Defy driver
- Download and install RSD Lite
- Open RSD Lite
- Enter Bootloader Mode on you phone (Power+VolUp when phone is off)
- Connect phone to you PC (USB)
- Open RSD - Lite
- Flash new SBF (browse => earlier downloaded sbf)
Now your on froyo. You shouldn't have network issues here but it doesn't matter.
-Root the phone (super one click root)
-For CM7: Download latest nightly, kernel zip, Gapps (google market...) and put them on your sd-card (remember where)
1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init. (vol up/down and power for navigating)
4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select CM7..... .zip and let it finish.
(for CM7: Do 6 again with the gapps zip and the CM7kernel.zip)
6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!
7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu
thank you
hi, thank you for all this help
-but after the SBF flash i don't have a network
Hi,
I am on IceCream - So not sure if its the same..
try settings->advanced->baseband switcher if you have it.
thanks
hi, thank you.
-but there isn't Algeria in "baseband switcher"

No you won't have any network problems.
First download this sbf. It's an European deblured(so you don't have to register with motorola after you installed it as you're not going to stay there long).
How to flash sbf-file
- Download and install Motorola Defy driver
- Download and install RSD Lite
- Open RSD Lite
- Enter Bootloader Mode on you phone (Power+VolUp when phone is off)
- Connect phone to you PC (USB)
- Open RSD - Lite
- Flash new SBF (browse => earlier downloaded sbf)
Now your on froyo. You shouldn't have network issues here but it doesn't matter.
-Root the phone (super one click root)
-For CM7: Download latest nightly, kernel zip, Gapps (google market...) and put them on your sd-card (remember where)
1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init. (vol up/down and power for navigating)
4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select CM7..... .zip and let it finish.
(for CM7: Do 6 again with the gapps zip and the CM7kernel.zip)
6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

DISCLAIMER!!!
THIS TUTORIAL IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FLASHED THE LATAM GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 VERSION WHICH ARE R01 AND R02, SUCH AS RETAIL LATAM, PERSONAL, CLARO, MOVISTAR AND VIVO
If you come from a different firmware this tutorial may not be entirely useful because the root method may vary and if you come from froyo you may need to use CH version for CM9, and flash a GB kernel for CM10... but that's not the point of this thread, go to the ROM's thread and READ the OP before asking dumb questions!

If your signal is not working try installing the MS2Toolbox (see attachments or http://www.mediafire.com/?k3h8vpcj6b2it0e) and then go to Baseband Switcher and choose your right band and then reboot, you might need to try more than once, but this tool will get your signal up

:good::good: good, and now, i am on cm9:good::good:
THANKS! It was really helpful as I find it a bit difficult to install a custom ROM after getting root following nicofff procedure. Don't know why, but installing a zip the usual way didn't work. Then I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Thanks that was almost too easy
I was already rooted before but did not dare the Cyanomod mainly to their alpha (still?) status, but when I heard about the feature that volume rocking allows skipping to the next song, I knew that I was doomed !
EDIT: BTW found it very stable after 1 day of extensive trial. I am really impressed !
Love this :good::good::good:
Hi,
first of all, thanks for this howto!
I am however getting problems. Coming from Brazilian VIVO 2.3.6. I succesfully completed all steps, until I get to rebooting after installing the bootmenu file. When I do a normal reboot, my phone's just rebooting into VIVO. When I choose to reboot recovery then I get an triangle image. When I push both volume rockers, I'm getting in another recovery menu. When I apply CM9 update, it will not verify.. That is where I'm stuck. Am I doing something wrong here?
SOLVED:
When you've installed bootmenu 1.1.0, it is possible that it does not load the first reboot. Just let it reboot normally, than reboot again! Now it worked!
thanks!
This is great! :good:
Few days ago I was looking for something like this but just can't find.
I experimented myself and got CM9 working on my phone.
(Took quite a lot of time waiting booting)
Thank god i did not brick my phone.
This will be great helpful to those who would like to try CM9.
Quick question - does this work with UK stock kernel?
Or does this require a specific kernel.
(How do I check?)

This works for european GB kernels, and specifically for latinamerican R01 and R02 GBkernels (which are based on the european GB kernel)
When you go to settings -> About phone, what does it say in Android Version?

To update CMx roms from another version of the same branch (ie : a 7 to a 7, a 9 to a 9 and so on) you only need to :
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats (optional, it's just to get more accurate battery duration)

I haven't had any problems with latest ICS gapps, are you sure you flashed ICS gapps? Anyway you should always do at least wipe cache and dalvik cache, it's best if you do full wipes AFTER flashing gapps
Swype keyboard is not included in CM9... you can get it from beta.swype.com

You must be on Froyo... because tezet's CM7 doesn't work on gingerbread, so if you want to try CM9 you must use Chinese version
In this case, can I follow the 1st post tuto ?
