I'm a bit confused about "kernel" and does it mean SBF?
As I'm using a Defy, flashed a SBF to DHT-22 then upgraded to DHT-25 by OTA
what "kernel" I'm using? does it mean the SBF or the BL?
I saw some posts said that you need to flash "kernel" and there are 2.2 and 2.3 kernel. How can I identify the Kernel version? using the SBF or BL?
very confused!

If you have a defy then you can't recieve a dht 25 via ota.
but if it is a defy plus then you only you will recieve this update.
read this and this
btw if any where it is mentioned bootloader version(bl ver) then i am guessing its bl6 for you(dont have a defy to confirm and use search option on top for any other info

I have a defy, then flashed the DHT-22 SBF to become defy+
then, I upgraded it by OTA to DHT-25
I don't know what's my "kernel" version now
i dont know much about version all i know is that there are two kernels one is from gingerbread and other one is of froyo..
and since you have updated yours is a gingerbread kernel

How do I find the BL version?
Want froyo we can get flash with the froyo version of cm9 with partial hwa
search forr the last rom you installed(stock one on forums by searching for "defy dht XXXX"replace XXXX by the version code in the name of the stock rom and you might find the bl version..
but as a random guess most 2.3.4 versions are bl6 while all 2.3.6 are bl7.
but thats just a guess..

there is no such big difference as far as i remember except few optimization(battery)
and few lines of code..
but froyo has large user base so will always be favoured by devs

Hi folks
Yesterday I soft-bricked my Defy+
After a long and careful session of cursing every saint and patron I could think of, I managed to re-flash the whole thing ( mostly, thanks to this forum, so THANK YOU! )
Problem is, now I'm stuck with stock ROM, and from what I've heard since I cannot downgrade I can't install a custom ROM either
Before I proceed to try anyway and probably soft-brick again, can you tell me if there's anything I can do to remove my ****ty stock ROM?
I was using MIUI and it was totally awesome ( even if that's why I soft-bricked. ), so going back to MIUI would be perfect, trying CM would be pretty good as well ( but no CM9, I use my camera ), even MS2ginger which is basically semi stock would be fine, as long as I remove the stock.
My system version : 45.0.1320.MB526.O2.en.DE
Android Version : 2.3.6
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e
Build number : 4.5.1-134_DFP-132
Thanks in advance!

wipe data factory and cache partition and
install fresh Stock ROM for defy
then u know wht to do
@Leonardo
Thanks man, I'm going to try in the next days - I'm out for New year's even xD
Is this CM7, right? So Camera works, not like CM9.. If the battery not fully charging is the only problem I'm definitely going to install Cyan, Stock Rom just plainly sucks.
@Illumanati
uhm.. what do you mean? that's what I did to recover my soft bricked Defy, I already mount a Stock ROM, why should I wipe and re-install it?
Yes, i think the camera must work, in a red lense defy works replacing Camera.apk and overlay.omap.so, so i think in defy+ too!
PS: Has your defy+ a red lense??

looking at ms2ginger thread it seems pretty straight forward to install this rom.
just make sure you download the correct ms2ginger 2.1 file for defy+. wipe everything and then use nandroid restore method to restore system and data, and advanced restore to restore boot, devtree and recovery. reboot and you're done.
from what i've read, miui doesn't work with gb kernel. so unless some devs come up with new roms or nandroid backup that does, you might be out of luck for now.

Nightly still has battery issues on the Defy+ aint it?
But when I was on 2,3,4 miui worked, I still had GB kernel right? XD it doesn't work on 2.3.6, I tried, it goes bootloop, but unless I am misunderstanding something it's not strictly about the gb kernel

I wish I knew .___. it sucks to be stuck with Moto stock ( whoa, it almost rhymes )
Maybe flashing 2.3.4 Kernel from CM9 via CWM MIUI works!
I'm going to try to flash MS2ginger 2.1 over 2.3.6, and if it goes I'll try the 3.0 as well
wish me luck! I'll post everything will happen, so other ppl in my situation can benefit
p.s. after a lot of searching on chinese MIUI forum and stuff, and after consequential blood tears over the poorly translated english of Google translator, I can officially say latest MIUI releases run on 2.3.4 Kernel
So Froyo is NOT required, and 2.3.6 is NOT supported as we speak

edit: warning, do not try the camera when you're still in the base rom as it's a chinese rom and might kill your led flashlight.

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!

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.

cm9 daily - 5-5-2012 is very good!
I've been uploading the dailys since 4-16 version. This last one (5/7/2010) is vastly improved over 4-16. the camera, tether and all features I've checked work (green lens) and the battery life is much improved. I like it so much I donated $10. Kudo guys for the great work!
Had CM9 on my Defy+ for two weeks, went back to 2.3.6 original Rom. too many glitches.
The worst was screen locking itself after a call, had to restart every time.
Defiantly will try future versions.
