Is it possible ?

i have not tried installing cm9 yet. but from what i read, you just simply reboot into recovery and do the following to downgrade to cm7:
1. wipe data and cache.
2. go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
3. go back, and select install zip from sd.
4. select zip from sd, and choose cm7 stable zip and flash. the full stable rom already contains the cm7 kernel. no need to flash separately.
5. again, select gapps zip and flash.
6. reboot.
if you just want to flash cm7 kernel because you want to install a nightly build (without kernel), just flash cm7-kernel-signed.zip, follow by the nightly zip, in step 4.

Yep thats right
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz

You need to flash the froyo kernel first
1) Flash froyo sbf (stock rom)
2) root using superoneclick, install sndinitdefy
Then reboot into custom recovery and follow the below steps

Do you really need to flash froyo kernel first?
I have to come back to CM7 and do I really need to flash SBF first? Or can I simply flash CM7 with kernel package?

Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't mislead people. If I only need to change a single broken brick in the wall on the second floor, do I need to ruin the whole house and rebuild it?
No need to flash SBF. Just go into recovery, wipe data/cache and dalvik cache, flash CM7 kernel, flash CM7 build, flash gapps for CM, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
DONE!

As above is the right way I have done it lots of times.

[SOLVED] Black screen after using RDSLite with stock ROM

Hi everyone...I hoped never to write for this
I've go a MB526 with CM7.1 NIGHTLY and I've tried to install the cm9 from
"Download for Defy+/Defy GB Kernel: http://quarx2k.ru/cm9-nightly-defy+/"
I've followed the instruction:
Code:
1:Head over to Stable Recovery from boot menu
2:Wipe Data (Nandroid Backup Before Doing this [optional])
3:Install Zip from SD
4:Select ur ICS(DefyPlus) zip
5:FLash
6:Flash CM9 Kernel
7:Flash Gapps zip(On first page of ICS DeV thread)
8:Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache
But after the reboot...black screen with this message:
Code:
Code:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23
Battery OK
Ok to Program
Connect USB
Data cable
I've tried to flash a custom rom from RDS Lite, but now after the reboot (RDS Lite show me SUCCESS)...nothing...the screen is black and the phone...does't do anything! I've tried with this rom: Italy from http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
Can someone help me?

I reply to myself...after a lot of RDS Lite installation my phone come back with this rom: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTES_P025_A023_M002_HWp3_WIG148097_Service1FF.sbf

CM7 to CM9

i upgraded my defy (red lens) to froyo. Then I installed CM72-111204.0310-nightly-defy.
Now I want to install CM90-120305-NIGHTLY-Defy.
Also I want to change the card. Should I change before or after the upgrade ?
And how to do the upgrade to cm9 ?

TO CLEAR YOUR CONFUSIONS ABOUT GB KERNEL ICS AND FROYO KERNEL ICS
I have seen lot of confused user out there asking about which kernel to flash and stuff... So here u go read below...
So our beloved Awsome Developers make two types of nightlies
1-For DefyPlus(Can Also be used on Defy(RedLens))
These are the GB/CM9 kernel builds
These are found under /cm9-nightly-defy+/ folder of the servers which we have
To install these you need to follow the TuT to install ICS Defy Plus Above...
Green Lens Camera Wont work on these(Correct me if I and wrong)
2-For Regular Defy(Do not work on Defy plus)
These are Froyo/CM7 kernel Builds
These are found under /CM9-Nightly-Defy/ folder of the servers which we have.
To install these follow the TuT to install CM9 ICS FOR Defy stated above
3-Well there is no 3rd build(There is The MileStone2 Port by Walter79,But now that we have camera on our builds that one is not usefull...)

So for installing ICS (CM9) I have to flash CM7kernel afterwards and I 'm working already with CM7!
That's very confusing for me.So I have to download the CM7 kernel and put it on my card first.
thanks a lot for the help.

Are you sure that you dont do a Wipe Data/chache?

Make sure you are using SndInitDefy_2.3.apk. I used version 1.9 and had the exact same problem you had.
Hope this helps.

1- make a nandroid backup in cwm - you can restore it if your phone doesn't start & you can still get into recovery
If you don't have a nandroid backup or can't get into recovery flash stock rom via odin
1a- yes remember to mount all partitions as well before flashing
2- read instructions on cm11 thread
3- Flash hells fusion kernel zip - There is an option there to flash stock kernel or you could just flash the entire stock firmware via odin
2b - read the cm11 rom thread
2c - stands for release candidate - considered stable & is a milestone release but won't have the latest nightly bug fixes
3- if talking about on cm11 than yes - you must use method as per cm11 instructions on thread
4- you need cwm6 please actually read the instructions on the rom thread!

I did answer that
You need to use cwm6 to flash cm11 (stock roms like hyperion use cwm5)
The kernel you need to flash containing cwm6 is on the rom thread
Again please read the instructions on the cm11 thread - all these questions would of been answered if you read it and followed the instructions

......ooohhhff......I finally got an answer
