Hello all,
I am kinda new into the Android world as until now I have used the old symbian.
I got myself a Motorola defy and installed a custom rom (cyanogen). At one point I decided to get back to stock rom and after flashing with RSD Lite a sbf file from the internet phone went dead.
After multiple flashes I got it alive with a chinese firmware but it sucks. Now I just want to go back to either original ROM or install a new one.
Info about running ROM now:
System version: 45.1.14.ME525+.ChinaRetail.en.CN
Model Number: ME525+
Android Version:2.3.6
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.02

What was your original SBF? Do you remember atleast the area(locale) and carrier? If yes than you can search for your SBF from the link in the prev post and do a RSD Lite flash. Also do a data wipe from stock after or before doing a SBF flash.
And Chinese SBFs can be pretty dangerous as they are known to burn up the LED!!!
device was brought from Romania with no network branding or any other thing. other then this I have no other info...
Could you please suggest a rom for me to flash as I kinda became sick of trying.
I give you 3 variants!
pic one!(or all)

and lose some time to study
Thank you..I flashed that and it seems it worked. New firmware is now running...Chinese junk is out. My questions for you will be:
My intention is to install a custom ROM (cyanogen or perhapsMoKee_OS as I see you use that) so, other then to root the device there is anything that I have to do?!
At one point I owned a WinMob device and for those I had to flash sections of code for the GSM handeling. Is the case for this here now...or I just root and install new ROM

Also noticed that on this ROM camera is not working!...is this normal?!
first of all!
make a "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery
reflash sbf and check your working camera!
dont understand whay it not work
anyway to instal a custom rom you need to root the phone and instal Sndinit_142 or 2.00 version!
try first to solve the problem with camera
hope is not broken by chineze rom(usual it burn only the flash led)
if you cant fix the camera must put on the phone an oficial rom and go to waranty
(need to inform better about your oficial rom on romanian softpediaforum for defy+)

Is there a chance you may have green lens camera?? How to know? Well first thing how old is your defy? And did you use the camera with chinese ROM?
Best way to check:
When you open the camera app and camera initialise do you hear a very tiny sound? If yes its a red lens, the sound is of the lens focusing..
However first try what vaserbanix suggested..
Sndinit_142 and ClockworkMod Recovery serve the same purpose?!
I sow that on a cyanogen oficial tutorial they recomand using "the latest version of bootmenu (includes the latest version of the ClockworkMod Recovery):"

snd init is an app that installs CWM on your phone! First install snd init. When you open the app you will see two options: latest recovery and stable recovery. Use latest recovery(recommended). BTW what happenned to your camera>?
I have not used camera with chinese rom as in that rom it was not working also. Camera is a green unit. Phone has 1 year since it was bought
I know defy+ have not green lenses
(Perhaps I m wrong informed)
Is good to flash again last sbf!
Root it, instal Sndinit and in
GENERAL section can find a thread
named DEFY+ by niksy+, some custom rom for it.

Yes you are correct.. Defy+ has red lens! I am almost sure the issue of camera not working is due to presence of green lens in his Defy! I am not sure if all the Froyo SBFs has green lens support! So, you flash an SBF and try installing a CM with fix for green lens and check if camera works.
You may try one another thing before flashing though I am not sure it will work! Try installing Camera360 . In the app go to settings and check hardware support (or something similar ) mode. Sorry, I don't have my Defy right now so can't tell you the exact setting! See if it recognise your camera and if it works. You may also install elixir2. I think there is a camera check there!!

I believe marius flashed on defy an sbf China for defy+(him or some oane else) without know what he do!

Read what is wrote under the battery!

Sorry if I mixed you guys up...but I have Defy...not Defy+.
Perhaps this is why camera is not working, after I flashed the rom suggested I also sow that device is recognised as beeying MB526 but in fact I have MB525 Defy....
did you root it? and instal Sndinit?
Yep we got it that it is a Defy .. Do things one by one... Check your camera then root and install snd init and flash> instal camera mods. If your cam still don't work go claim warranty!
Phone state at this point:
Installed one of the ROM's suggested by you guys(first in the list of 3)!...Problem with this rom is that camera is not working, and second of all it drains the battery in only 1 day with limited activity on the device.
Device is recognised as MB526 but in fact on device itself is writen MB525.
Information about device:
System version: 45.0.1390.MB526.Retail.en.FR
Model number: MB526 -------------> is this normal?!
Baseband: EPU93_U_00.60.00 ----------> is this baseband ok?! for me it seems it drains batttery rather to quickly
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e [email protected]#1
Phone is rooted and 2init installed with version 0.61 used from the 2 of them. I have blue light on boot and I can enter menu.
When I boot "Android BootMenu" under Custom Recovery and try:
- wipe data/factory reset - it says:
"Wiping data...
Formating DATA....
Formating CACHE....
Formating SDEXT....
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.

3. why trying to wipe Davik Cache:

Now when try to apply new ROM from SDCARD:

I Have no ideea why it generates errors!

1. CM7 is not ICS. Its a mod of gingerbread. CM9 will be ICS.
2. You can back up your phone with clockwork recovery once you install it.
3. If you unlock your bootloader you always have chance of losing warranty. I did it and had ATT replace my phone no questions asked.
4. GO to dev section and click on the CM7 thread.
I recommend reading a lot!

tnx 4 answer
i read always a lot
one more question ...
if cm7 is not ICS and that version uses ICS framework and interface
what else is missing ? just the kernel ?
tnx
That rom is nothing more than the CM7 Weekly 4, re-themed to look like ICS...it is not ICS and any terms of "functionality"
i read the installation guide for cm7 ...
doesn't it need to unlock the bootloader ?
what's the way to root i have to use ?
i found this Root, Sideload & Tether Your Atrix 4G in the wiki page ... dated 19th February 2011
is that the right one ?
tnx 4 ur support

The one you mentioned is obsolete. You really need to read a lot more before you do anything on your phone.
tnx 4 the link

you are obviously not reading carefully enough. if you're sure the info is written many many times, then go look for it. there is PLENTY of good walkthroughs to take you through the process especially swiftks's. this is not your baby daycare for us to spoonfeed you everything. figure things out yourself. you've already gotten a lot of good links to follow.
general steps (i will not hold your hand):
1. unlock your bootloader with pudding sbf
2. install romracer's recovery with fastboot
3. install the rom of your choice after wiping data/cache/system/preinstall/boot
4. install kernel that you want
5. reboot your phone.
if you can't follow those directions or figure it out from that, then you probably shouldn't be doing this in the first place. all this info is so easy to figure out.
i dont know which threads to follow guys
i bought a moto defy with red lens (brayer) since January and when i got home
was very xcited to customize it so came to xda developers and got started (on the day of purchase) ...
downloaded superoneclick and some bits and pieces and flashed my phone...
well at first flash it stoped working
this is what happen when i don't read... stupid me
eventually i got it working back after 2 long struggling days ...
i flashed it with shadow 134 i think .. and after i got it working, i never tried anything else i was fed up...
But now i want to sort my defy out again...
This is my device info:
System version: 45.0.10.MB526.Retail.en.GB
android vers: 2.3.4
Baseband: EPU93_U_00.5F.00
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-10
so by all this info, i am able to understand that i have a fixed sbf which is CG6 (some1 corect me if i am wrong)
On top of that i have: (SUPERUSER, DEFY 2NDINIT 2.0, SYSTEM RECOVERY) installed on my defy
its a bit scary for me to go and flash it without any advice like before and get stuck again
so if any1 has any idea how can i move up to CM9 without having lots of trouble
i agree i can have a bit of trouble but not to much..
theres so many threads to follow and am not able to choose which one
Any Defy Xpert arround who may help
Thanks for Reading my lengthy post

I want to know if I can go and install the MS2Ginger 4.0 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
Is said " - support for Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, Bravo" so I assume that it can be installed on A953. If so , do I have to follow all the steps for Defy ? Or just to follow the standard procedure for installing a new ROM ? factory reset> RSD Lite> reboot> root ?
The reason I want to change is that wifi disconnects or does not connect to all wifi routers. With some, everything is fine, but the ratio is 50/50 %. All the new smartphones come with the "- wifi channels 12, 13, 14 enabled" which are not functional now on my A953.
This ROM MS2Ginger 4.0 has the channels operational.
Will this GB 4.0 drain more battery than actual 2.3.4 ?
If you know another option of better ROM that has those channels activated feel free to let me know; it seems that GB 4.0 is a bit too much for a milestone 2
Thank you for your time.
I see you read the Defy's thread..
This is the milestone 2 thread for ms2ginger.. Just read it, is very very clear what do have to do to install the rom..

Thank you again. But there are no files in the download link neither google or dev-host.
EDIT: there are files , but hard to see ..
At the step number 10 , right at the point where I try to restore the MS2Ginger4.0 , from the dev link , I get "no image file found" .
ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.0.8 is installed . which should work with *.tar files ... as inside MS2Ginger4.0 there is a nandroid.md5 file and system.ext3.tar, nothing more...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038 those are the steps I follow.
thank you for some light
I think CWM5 should work..
But yeah you're right it should work with .tar files (I think ;o)
Only restore system and did you put the complete folder on the sd?
(There should be: /clockworkmod/backup/"ms2gingerfolder"/ -> and there the .tar file)

I have to edit / downgrade sbf from attachment "downgrade_for_bl=3.rar" with MotoAndroidDepacker, according to grayed lines, then RSDlite to flash it and then find an nandroid backup of froyo system and restore it via clockwork recovery.
I tried already to flash "downgrade_for_bl=3.rar" without editing with MotoAndroidDepacker, according to grayed lines. And it worked , I got PASS, but the nandroid backup cannot be flashed onto this SBF (unedited). So i guess i have to edit SBF first , flash it , and then , flash nandroid .
Please tell me I'm not wrong
Thank you .
"Great news" phone bricked ... not sure what to do .. i tried to flash the initial SBF " MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWRTGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF" with CMD prompt as Administrator but no effect.
I have boot-loop with red "M" . If camera button + vol down + power pressed Moto enters the Boot recovery . The phone recognizes the USB cable when put " ready for programming" , RSD v5.6 don't.
Some ideas ?
uninstalled RSD 5.6, installed RSD 4.9 , restart windows 7 x64 , phone in boot recovery , RSD recognizes the phone , flashed "MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWR TGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF" all ok . This fbs is quite a resilient bacteria.
can someone provide a froyo nandroid backup for milestone 2? ... hmm ?

Btw , some devs also don't speak english by heart, and the tutorials are made for this "club" where ppl are familiar with terms and steps, imagine that is quite difficult to reach the target of having a functional phone following some instructions and mind****ting errors at the same time.

why don't you update your kernel from 2.2 to 2.3? And I think 4.1.2rom is not fluency for our defy . if you have the kernel 2.3,you may update to kitcat~
update your phone . you need pay attention to the following list .
1.Use the software named RSD,the file is sbf ,sbf will change your bl,so, you need to know what's your phone bl;
2.you need to now what's your defy's lens,it's red or green;
3.you need a rom which is .zip some rom don't need to think about the kernel but someone discriminate.

Go here and get the appflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702
On http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=ale-l21 download any rom that is says FULL, and add it to appflasher with the instructions in the post above
On TWRP Mount everything and install the P8 lite ROM (install ZIP)
Then on TWRP. reboot on Bootloader and Install TWRP again
On TWRP, go to Wipe, but before anything, FORMAT DATA (NO WIPE), why would you say? because when you install a p8 lite rom the phone encryptis itself and you can't use/wipe data, and emui data IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with LineageOS Data
Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, Internal and System
Then install the zip posted above
Bugs ATM
Doesn't work:
No RIL on Single SIM Phones (on Double Sims RIL Works)
No Sound
No Bt
It seems it detects the sd card (you can enter to install things and everything, but only from the notification), in short words it isn't visible in media apps
When i connect the headphones the phone doesn't detect it
Record and see videos (.mp4 files)
Can't confirm, but maybe OTG (all of us the testers don't use it)
What works
Wifi (perfectly)
Camera
it seems GPS works
Install apps from explorer
Play store (it shows all the apps)
Dev Options
No problems with root (it needs to be flashed)
Many thins more
You maybe are wondering, why it doesn't boot on G Play/4X, or it has some sort of Wifi Bugs on G Play Mini/4C? because the net card, P8 lite (and probably 4C too but with different model) have a Siliscon Net card, and we 4X users have a Broadcom Netcard, so the romitself it is trying to load a module for a hardware that we don't have, so it doesn't boot
I did this post here, so we don't inundate the P8 Lite topic
if you have questions about this, it is your time to ask! (and if you are a dev, your help is appreciated)
EDIT: first experimental builds are up, see the 3rd page on comments (added pics)
Alright, so later on I'll build a special zip with a compatible kernel. This is going.to be the workflow.
1) You are interested and send me a PM
2) I send you the zip
3) You answer with your device model and whatever you think it's important like:'wifi didn't work, here's a logcat when I try to enable it's
4) I send another zip...

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO FLASH ON CHE2-L11
I have followed all the instructions (slow method), but flashing is not possible on my Huawei Honor 4x Che2-L11. It stops in the flashing process.
When doing adb sideload, it fails with the error message:
Code:
"E:unknown command [log]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
(this is error message in TWRP, not on laptop)
I have never succeeded in installing CM before, so not surprising that I can't install LineageOS. Nobody has taken care of Che2-L11 so it's total uncertain situation while some claim it works but don't show how. I have followed all the advice, tried all the different TWRP versions, but it always got stuck on "patching system image unconditionally" (with CM 12.1 - P8Lite version). Probably reason might be that they are not wiping everything, but keep some partition but forget to tell me about it. I wipe everything.
We need some common effort to make Che2-L11 versions, work together. I can do my part if we cooperate.

As I said, this is a discussion and not the ROM itself, the ROM for 4X isn't available yet, anyways I put these instructions so you can test it, and your error isn't normal
If you want to try, get the boot.img and flash it, the phone won't boot
I made this discussion for people that are interested on lineage OS and want to try the experimental ROM that will be here soon
And it is weird that cm12.1 failed to you too, me with other users already installed other roms, like this one or cm12.1 and it flashed well
All from us for Honor 4X Che understand your frustration too, since even the other devs here of the 4X (che1) ignore us, but at least now someone want to help us,so we need to support him
And yes it is sad that even a dev from other phone is helping us, the only dev we had sold his phone
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me what you wiped before flashing the CM 12.1? How did you perform the wipe? With format? I think there must be something remaining when you flash CM 12.1, which I am wiping.
Maybe I am flashing the wrong rom. I don't know that there exists any rom of CM for Che2-L11. The one I am flashing, I had to change the update-script to remove first line. Where is the CM12.1 for Che2-L11? I don't think any exists.
I fully understand the situation with lack of devs. I think it can be improved with some better documentation, for example we can make a separate thread here.

When I install custom Roms, first I install any p8 lite ROM (emui) then flash it, and then I have no problems

So I should download the rom zip from p8lite thread and pm XePeleato for a compatible kernel for it to boot? Sorry but there's too many instruction. I can't follow btw I'm on b515. Should I use a p8lite rom for it to work?
@ericotena for now he want to test that we users with 4x, all of them doesn't work to see rare things, for example an 4X working
i mean yes download atleast the zip now, and try with those steps, personally i tested using 4X and @MarcoPLs with P8 lite rom, and we made it to test
Xepeleato said it is enought that if you quote him in 1 comment, so he will pm you then with a rom
@XePeleato I want to test it too when it is available haha. Thanks for your efforts on this rom!!!!
@XePeleato I really appreciate your great job and I wish you can help us , our poor Huawei honor 4x users :laugh:
Don't worry, I couldn't PM you yesterday because the build didn't finish (nothing I can do about it). As far as I know, the ROM has to be compatible with Che2-L11, but if there's other more 'compatible' model I'd like to know it, like the ALE-L21 for the P8 lite.
