Hi, i have defy+ (MB526)
android version 2.3.6
system version: 45.0.2310.MB526.Retail.en.GB
baseband: epu93_U_00.60.03
kernel: 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-231
I have a problem with camera, everything in camera is upside-down and camera cant focus.
I tested there CM9 and after i flash full sbf (via rsd lite)
i don't know, where this problem start (i don't use camera long time) and now i have this problem :-(
I tryed flash some sbf, some custom rom (cm7, cm9, miui...) without succes.
is possible that this problem is hw? or "only" bad kernell...?
I had this issue a long time ago with nightly from january...
Try with fresh nightly for Defy+ such as the last CM7 wich work perfect on my Motorola Defy+.

Hi !!
Greenbreadmod v1.1 doesn't work with the new SBF 4.5.1-134_DFP-132 (android 2.3.6).
=> Bootloader Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
Works only with DFP 74.
Without this patch, the camera of this new SBF doesn't work with green lens Defy (MB525).
Is there a way to fix that on DFP 132 ?
Thanks

No, you need a froyo kernel to get green camera working.
OK...
Is it possible to downgrade from FDP 132 (android 2.3.6) to DFP 74 (android 2.3.4)
in order to have the green lens working ?
Greenbreadmod works on a few Android 2.3.6 based roms such as Android 2.3.6 - 4.5.2-109-DHT22
fine, but not with Cyanogenmod7 Defy+ nightlys or Cyanogenmod9.
Not really sure why it works on some and not others? Maybe a Dev can explain in layman terms.
I had a quick and rough go at flashing the EGL & Camera libs from Froyo over CM9, but unsurprisingly it didn't work.
So the people who has flashed gingerbread kernel havent way to green camera works?

The mod works with some Gingerbread ROMs, but not with the very latest nightly Cyanogenmod's. The stable release Cyanogenmod's (Pre Defy+) work without needing this mod. But there are some Gingerbread based ROMs that this mod can be flashed to that get the green lenses camera working. The mod seemingly works by downgrading the camera parts of the kernel modules and libs to Froyo, but some ROMs depend on the kernel, libs and modules being fully Gingerbread, or they won't boot.
That's about the extent of my knowledge.

Then, If i have flashed gingerbread kernel how do i to the green lenses camera works? The roms doesn't mind.
With the last gingerbread kernel (android 2.3.6) i dont found way to the cam works. Anyone knows how to make it? downgrade to froyo/GB 2.3.4, a new Green Bread Mod.... something that the people who has flashed the gb kernel by error can fx it.
Sorry for my english.
Stock camera app wont work. try lgcamera
I already tried it. Don't works.
DONT downgrade to 2.3.4, youll brick your phone! green lens wont work on gb (2.3) kernels, because official gb roms are for defy+, and defy+ has red lens, so the green lens module is excluded from the kernel. but as far as i know, epsylon3 is working on a cam driver.
I have tried differents methods to dowgrade but anyone has bricked the phone, i only reflash 2.3.6 sbf. would you tell me where i can find about epsylon3 work? Thanks very much.
Hi
I did flash full sbf 2.3.6 on my red lens defy...
Is there any fully working cutsom Rom? I know about the CM 7.2 nightly for Defy+ and they work except camera has no autofocus , pics are ionverted and even Videos... of course there is CM9 but there are way too many things to be sorted out for daily use
So anything like miui or msginger working?

CM7 nightly works, here's the fix for inverted pic
MS2ginger 2.1 also works, while last time I tried to flash a Miui it gave me a boot loader error and I had to flash back
I tried 1.12.16 ( I guess ), now there's a pretty new version, so if you wanna try to flash it go ahead and tell us what happens don't worry, you can always go back stock
I had MS2Ginger and I have CM7.2 nightly now, so you can be sure about that
ok will give the inverted pics fix a try but still the autofocus is not working in the latest nightlys... ( no sound when openeing cam or trying to focus on something...lens is not moving!) is this working with msginger?
Need autofocus working...with motorola 2.3.6 everthing works of course but otherwise it is crappy
It is working for me xD I have a Defy+, maybe that's the difference, but on CM7.2 nightly autofocus and touch to focus work perfectly
i tried the older nightly from 13th december and with the fix for inverted pics and cam.apk everything including Autofocus is working.... this fix is not working with the 23.12 nightly...tried it...
@shark...
now everything works too...but only on 13.12 nightly the latest one not...
and Defy red lens with full sbf flash or defy+ origianl with full sbf flash....there i no difference except battery

I am not an expert, but you must provide better info to get good reply.
1. you say "bought it with Android 2.5.6" but there is no 2.5.6 !
I guess this was a simple typo but we can not be sure what you really mean!
2.3.6 ? what SBF build ? you can find that in phone info!
2. CM7.1 was developed primarily for defy, not defy+, that's why it now says MB525 on your device.
3. "When I try to flash ROM for DEFY+..." be specific: what defy+ rom ???
4. What build of cm7.1 did you install ? and what Kernel does it use now ?
perhaps you get kernel mismatch error when changing rom..
Go to info on you phone and find out + post complete screencap or something like this:
System Version: 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE
Model number: MB526
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3
[email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-74
That will make it possible for someone on forum to give good advice!
Haha its very simple. Its all written in the build.prop
You can name your phone a gs2 or even a prada lol. Nothing to worry.
Use rom toolbox or something to change the build.prop

Hi there! First of all your phone is not bricked. You should first try to get in the recovery menu by pressing one of the volume buttons when the sensor is having a blue color. From there, if you can access the menu please do a full data wipe\factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and then try to install the newest version of CM9 based on your phone model (defy or defy+) with the corresponding kernel and rom.
However, if you can't access the recovery menu, then restart your phone and hold the power button + volume down till a black screen with white text appears. Afterwards, connect your phone to your PC through USB cable (make sure you have enough battery left and doesn't die in the process) start RSD Lite load the sbf file and install it. Hope my answer helps, if so, hit thanks . Good luck !
Last night I rooted my Defy+ with CM7(latest nightlies from defy-cm.net), applied battery and camera fix, everything worked perfectly and I enjoyed it.
I tried little experimenting then installed CM9(usedEpsylon builds) and flashed the kernel mentioned here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100&page=3) but then I noticed it had lot of bugs and my phone started having a lot of weird reboots.
So I thought of reverting back to CM7 and then problem of the battery popped up. Battery now shows a question mark and I dont know whether it could charge or not. After reading a lot I thought it would be better to revert to CM9 just incase if the battery isn't charging and then I'd have to find a workaround for charging.
Although I love CM( very much but I can't stick to it because of the camera and a lot of instability.
After studying forums I realised it may be because of the incompatible kernel for CM7. So the only way I could get teh original kernel is by flashing the original SBF. But the problem arises is that I cant find the same build for my device and I am little skeptical about flashing with different SBF. Also I have no nandroid backup as such. Nearest I could find a SBF was with 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321. Also I have gone through all the Walter79 posts and his SBF collection too and it doesnt have the SBF for my DEFY+.
Can somebody guide me with the workaround?
My DEFY+ specifications:
system version - 45.0.891.MB526,AsiaRetail.en.03
model number - mb526
android version - 2.3.4
baseband version - epu93_u_00.60.00
kernel version - 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e [email protected]#1
build number - 4.5.1-134_DFP-891
Hi,
My Defy+ also came with the same SBF version however I updated it to another one and now service center updated it to another one(which is unrootable!!) So be careful while choosing the SBF(Don't worry I will tell you which one should be safe! ). First:
There are issues with battery charging with CM9. moreover you should have tried Quarx's build CM9 for Defy+. Both CM7 and CM9_Defy+ of quarx are more stable!! however, as per memory serves I remember flashing CM7 for Defy when I had the version of SBF you have, so I believe even CM9 for Defy should work(No need to flash extra kernels if you flash the Defy versions of CM).
Now coming to the SBF part you may go for this SBF(from my dropbox). It is 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321 version SBF. That will update your phone to 2.3.6 and BL6. Thus you won't be able to downgrade to any Froyo kernels and will have to use CM7 and CM9 for Defy+ builds(use Quarx's build this time). However NEVER flash the version with DFP-231!!! It has BL7 and is still not rootable!!! ( Thanks to dumb service center people I am stuck with this!!)

Hey. Wait for sometime. I will update the link.
Please allow a short question concerning the downgrade:
I'm currently on CM10 on my Defy+ and want to go back to CM7.
Can I just use the recovery boot and install from a CM7 file or is anything else needed before flashing CM7 file?
Thanks a lot
