[Q] Flash Defy+ *.sbf with Android 2.3.6 to red lens Defy?

Hi
I did read in the dev section, that there is a new *.sbf from the Defy+ with Android 2.3.6. which can be flashed on the Defy. I know there is no going backl from that if flashing the full sbf.
As far as i know the Defy with red lens (bayer device) is basically a Defy+.
So what i wanna know...will the camera work with this new sbf...basically, will everything work?

Nope... I don't think the red lens camera is working fine as of now...
Btw... was wondering if we flash the nandroid of the 2.3.6 then can we return to frayo?

hmmm. darn it... and here i was thinking the defy with red lens is quite the same as defy+. Obviously there are differences in the end.
So no experiments for me then...need the camera. hope it will start working at some point. Epsylon3 wrote, that with defy+ kernle some things are working easier and that they would probably jump to that kernel. But without Cam... :-(
Regarding the nandroid...sory..not sure if u can return..i think yes...but no guarantees ton that. U will have to read the thread in dev section from walther79

Someone already flashed this full SBF on a Defy MB525, its working perfectly for him. As long as you have a Red lens, and dont care about downgrading, you can go for it

ah... two different opinions
From what i was reading in the meantime it wont work. At least thats what Walter79 wrote
Anyways...am on CM9 now and thats ok for now.. if i would use the newer Defy+ Kernel+Bootloader that wont work at the moment.

No... the ROM does work on Red lens Defy and Defy+, that's a fact.
What wont work is the Fixed SBF, cause it needs the new Firmware to work... which is only possible to have by flashing the full SBF.
Walter also said he is going to base the new MSGinger in this rom, and make it work on Green lens.
But the rom DOES work on Red Lens defy.

thx again... good to know for sure.... hoping that way the red lens defy will be compatible with any updates from moto for defy+

help me to

[Q] May I install a custom ROM over this firmware?

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!

Install cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ instead and install Camera.apk and overlay.omap.so from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580

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

Or maybe defy+ stock 2,3,4 is not GB?

i think you're right. could have something to do with cg version?
2.3.4 cg version is 5, whereas 2.3.6 is 6.

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

Thanks
Very good, MS2ginger 2.1 totally works even on 2.3.6, the firmware of doom xD
If anyone on the 3d answers me, I'm going to try to upgrade to 3.0
Hope I'm doing some good for other ppl in my situation ^^ and not just spamming and flooding xD

the best thing will be to find a way to downgrade from this 2.3.6 defy+ rom and back to froyo
things will become much easier and there are lots of roms for it

now there is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731
a froyo sbf with bl=6. anyone with bl up to 6 (5&6) can now downgrade to froyo and flash all froyo kernel based roms, like miui and froyo cm7 and cm9, etc
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.

[Q] [?]sbf base for CM10? Defy

Hello, a few hours ago accidentally delete the sbf file to flash, I do not remember if it was or nordic cee, I have a red lens defy btw, I read in other threads that could flash a sbf of defyplus, defy one, but not sure without asking here, I just need someone to recommend me which one to use as the basis for the latest builds of CM10 Quarx, thanks in advance.

You can flash file sbf BL7 ( as CEE BL7 MB526 < google search > ) for this case
