:Hey guys,
I'm in trouble with multiboot and tried some ways but failed. So I need your help!
My main system is MS2 2.3.4, BL6, GB kernel. And I want CM9 defyplus to be the 2nd system.
First I tried m11kkaa's multiboot v0.7 but couldn't launch CM9, it stunned with black screen. Then I found multiboot can't work on GB kernel after that. So I searched solution and found this View attachment multiboot_v0.5.5_fix.zip，it came from http://bbs.mfunz.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=408756, and could work on GB kernel. With this i could launch CM9 finally, but it came out another question, the encryption unsuccessful and couldn't go on.
After reading the changelog of m11kkaa's multiboot I thought maybe the v0.6.1 can work properly. So I tried to contact with the guy who did modification on it for help but failed.
I think the attachment maybe useful to m11kkaa for developing multiboot on gb kernel, but i cant reply his thread for i'm new.
Can someone help for letting m11kkaa know here maybe have the solution of multiboot with gb? I'm very thankful!
My defy plus is bl7.. So stock gb kernel.. And multiboot worked fine.. Just don't flash any kernel.. I didn't have any problem..

Actually i got touch with the guy from mfunz.com finally, and with his help i got a fixed v0.6.1, then i made it.
The only thing which different from my 1st try is when stunned as black screen i kept waiting, for about 3 or 5 Minutes the screen turned on at last. Then i got into desktop without encryption unsuccessful.
So maybe i should wait longer at the first try? maybe the fixed version is unnecessary?
Anyway, thanks for your reply. let me know the multiboot can work with gb kernel at least.
But i swear i saw m11kkaa'reply in his thread saying that it's not support for gb kernel.
And, what's mean of 'Greenbreadmod' in the changelog?
I used v0.6.1.. Not the fixed one.. I didn't have any problems.. Tried cm7 ms2ginger and cm9 on multiboot and all worked fine.. what image files are you using?? did you flash a kernel while installing ms2ginger??

HI all,
Am using Defy MB525
Yesterday I tried to install ICS 4.0.3 Mar 17 build for defy+,I did factory reset and installed from SD card (ICS build,Gapps,Batteryfix),I didn’t flash any kernals like one of our forum member told, But my defy is stucked on boot logo.I tried many times but doesn’t work So again am back to 2.3.7 Version. My kernel version 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8
Why this happened to me?
What is the procedure?
If you dont know what you are doing dont install.ics is still beta its a nightly ..and is improving day by day moreover hwa 2D is still missing without it..cm9 is just a theme like Gb..i would say better stick to stock..or flash quarx defy+ cm7 nnightly..

Sorry, I've only flashed CM9 on my defy+ and I have kernel 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e etc. I't's not exactly the same, so maybe I'm wrong about not flashing the CM9 kernel! I actualy think you have froyo kernel!
EDIT: Yes, you have FROYO kernel! Go ahead and flash the CM9 kernel! Sorry
you must flash the SBF of 2.3

If you don't know what you are talking about, then just DON'T! If he flashes stock sbf 2.3, he will never be able to go back to Froyo. All he needs to do is flash the CM9 GB kernel.
As Auris told never flash 2.3 SBF until you DONT want to downgrade! What you said you did is absolutely fine. Just flash CM9GB kernel and it will work. But anyways I don't understand why would you want to flash the CM9 Defy+ ROm because Defy ROM is likely to be updated sooner and CM officialy support Defy!
My fault! In an other thread he didn't specify all those numbers after 2.6.32.9-gbdd so I thought he had gingerbread kernel and told him to flash the plus builds!

hello guys, thanks for all the patience with me haha, but i dont understand it anymore.. im currently running CM9 from epps on my red lens defy with froyo kernel.
Since its a little bit to buggy for me i want to change to a different CM9 but also want the GB kernel.
What to do? just download the CM9 GB build and install it just the same way as i did with CM9 froyo kernel?
I found a thread on this forum that seems really complicated and a little bit to mutch work but i want to do it the right way and not mess up my phone.

so i just download GB build CM9, put the zip on my sd card, install it and then its done?
U should also download cm9 kernel.zip from the auris's thread in defy general thread, flash it also..

yeaaay it worked, pretty awesome. also it didnt delete anything from my phone which comes in pretty handy when updating the rom. so i dont have to backup everything again. camera is working fine also!
I'm in the same situation. What I want is to install the GB kernel, and yet remain on my CM9, and still be able to flash my original stock froyo SBF if need be, and was wondering if it would just be enough to flash the GB kernel found in Epsylon3's site, and if so, which one (since there are two there)? Secondly, would that GB kernel enable all 4 CPU frequencies?
I'm still on my original stock SBF, which is JORLA_U3_3.4.2_108-2, and has CG31.smg version = 4
Third, would I be able to flash Defy+ ROMs, such as the CM10 roms developed by Quarx, which, as far as I understand, have a custom kernel, and yet still be able to flash back to my original stock froyo SBF?
Ok, I think the title is clear enough but, I'd like to know if there are any MIUI ROMs for the Motorola Defy Plus with a 2.3 (GB) Kernel. Thing is, I have Quarx's CM9 on Multiboot but I'd love to try ICS MIUI on it, but I understand I have to flash Froyo Kernel but don't know what would that do to my CM9 I'm so in love with.
I've searched all the threads on xda and the web but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Currently there is no miui build that works on gb kernel.

Thanks for the reply! Is there another rom that I should try? I don't really know about another interface for 4.0 but it would surely be great if there were one.
Edit: I have another question, is there a way to install a froyo kernel on multiboot so i can keep cm9 (GB) on my default boot? I already have multiboot but I'm not sure if flashing wiui, for example, will damage the other rom.
Look at the miui ics thread by sesme

Well as far as I know multi boot requires same kernel for the roms. I don't know if any recent development has changed it. You may check multi boot thread.

*Don't respond with comments saying read this or that...
I have read the guides for moto defy mb525 U.S. tmobile and yet i don't understand a thing. I have a bionic and have rooted/flashed/sbf'd before so I have experience but not with this device. I tried understanding from the wiki and beginners guide yet it didn't help me at all. (I'm dumb)
MY Goal: Jellybean CM10 on my Defy
I am currently on froyo 2.2 and I don't understand how to get CM10
I have an original tmobile u.s. defy (Im pretty sure its green lens)
If someone can provide links I can learn:
What should I SBF to?
What should I use to root?
How do I flash cm9 kernel (I heard its the only way to get the CM10 working on a tmobile mb525)
Once I get a recovery I know how to flash and stuff I just want to be guided until I get to clockwork recovery and have the cm9 kernel flashed.
Please help, don't flame....its what makes this community great
Root it with SuperOneClick 1.9 for Defy! it should be somewhere on xda I dont know where use the search function...
Install 2nd INIT it should add cwm
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Sorry Sir but its useless to flash CM10(current version) on MB525 coz its being made for MB526(Defy+). Your efforts will be in vein. Why not go for 4.0.4 by Eppy? Latest build is stable as hell!
I read that you can flash CM10 by quark on your green lens defy but of course camera won't work
I got soft reboots. And the current version can't make calls/text.
Go for CM9 its really getting into its groove now

Since you sound new to flashing roms, you shouldn't start off with an alpha rom you have to port, instead, start with an Epsy CM9 or Maniac103 CM7 -- both are stable and a good place to start learning about rom flashing.
***Before you start flashing sbf's, you should read the sbf thread and find an sbf you like that's on the same BL version you're currently on, or if out of warranty, flash a bl6 sbf so you can switch between the GB and Froyo kernels. I'm not going to go into BL versions anymore, but that's one of the most important things you need to learn when flashing Defy roms and sbfs.***
For rooting, I use SuperOneClick 1.9.5. Then just enable non-market apps and install Defy 2nd-Init Recovery, reboot into it, select wipe data\factory reset, then flash cm7 or 9 followed by the appropriate version of gapps. Those steps will soon become second nature, to the point where you can root and flash a custom rom in your sleep.
All the tools and roms can be found by searching the forums. Good Luck and welcome to the wonderful world of custom roms.

Hey guys, I'm currently running CNA 3.6.6 with the JellyX kernel (5-12 bfs) by Blechd0se. (Great combo, BTW :good
I would like to revert to the official CM7 builds because I admire the stability and battery life offered.
Now to my problem,
I know that I have to flash a froyo kernel in order to install CM7 successfully.
But on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100) it is mentioned Latest Froyo kernel by Epsylon3: 16 May 2012
Latest Froyo kernel by Quarx: 8 Mar 2012. I was not able to locate these kernels on the respective servers (quarx2k.ru and defy.wdscript.fr)
Moreover,these links are dead: CM7 (froyo) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM7_Kernel-signed.zip
CM9 (GB) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM9_Kernel-signed.zip
However, I was able to find this one (kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip) on epsylon3's sever. It is dated June 13 and so I'm assuming it is the latest and should work properly. So will it? I plan on flashing the 9-12 official nightly of CM7. Also I read somewhere that CM7 comes bundled with the kernel, so is flashing the kernel even neccessary? I have also seen a test CM7 kernel by blechd0se, does anyone recommend it for stable daily use and will it be compatible?
I plan to follow these steps in flashing, someone please please correct me if I'm wrong..
CM10 recovery-wipe data-wipe cache-wipe dalvik-install cm7-install gapps-install kernel-wipe cache-wipe dalvik.
Should the kernel be flashed before or after the ROM?
I'm trying my best not to be a n00b here (my first thread here, and you might notice I have just one post and zero thanks ), but I really am confused because on a different thread I read that flashing an SBF via RSD was the only way to do this , and I think this thread will help others who might like to go back to CM7 if they are facing issues with Jelly Bean. I have done my homework reading and am not posting without searching. So Any help will be greatly appreciated , and if I'm being a complete bumbling idiot, please feel free to tell me so. :silly:
Waiting for replies from the awesome folks at XDA,
Cheers and have a great day! :highfive:

PS: Off-topic, has anyone tried the V6 supercharger by zeppelinrox on our Defys (JB/ICS/GB) ? If you have, please share your experience I'm really curious, that's all
Cheers
You're confusing 2ndboot kernels with regular kernel. No kernel flashing is required, because they do not interfere and/or replace each other(2ndboot custom and stock Motorola).
You're better off with the regular kernel(Motorola one), the test one(the one for cm7) is in early development.
You will have to convert data from ext4 to ext3 via boot menu. Select tools, file system tools and convert to ext3.
So, the process is: Convert to ext3, flash Rom(You may wipe system before this for good measure), boot the phone, reboot and flash gapps(you may flash it directly after the rom, but this method works for me)
EDIT: Flashing directly works(just tested) for quite a lot of combinations
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
i may add that you could either flash a stable cm7 + nightly bcs kernel is missing in the nightlies or you just flash one of maniacs... they come with a kernel and are the most cutting edge (the only cutting edge). good luck.
Again, the kernels above are 2ndboot and do not replace the stock; it's a misconception. So, either way the process remains the same; there is absolutely no need to flash anything else unless mentioned on the rom thread.

Okay..Thanks guys! XDA forums are really helpful And so quick to reply too!
On the ROM thread, they say flash froyo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654)
I'm not sure what they mean..
Do I need to change the default boot to 2ndinit as well?
And can someone elaborate on what differences can be found between the official CM7 nightlies and maniac's ones?
Cheers and have a great day!
No change, no nothing. I'm not really sure about maniac builds, perhaps they use the newer kernel(custom), whereas official uses stock Motorola
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21686557
Differences:
LTO download. (not sure if merged to official)
panic daemon against RIL bug
cant remember what else.
NO custom kernel yet
but things get merged to official sooner or later because maniac is an/the official maintainer for cm7-jordan.

thanks thekguy. i wasted half a day wondering if my defy had finally bricked and all it is was the ext4 causing the problem. with a quick google found this thread and your solution works perfectly. i only wished that they have sticky your solution as i'm sure many ppl are looking for it...
I do have a big problem. I followed all the steps (coming from latest nightly of CM10) with formatting to ext3 and the other steps. I tried to install CM7.2 and everything went well. But now I stuck at the Motorola Logo.
I even tried the sbf-flash but that didn't work because after RSD-Lite-Flash it stucks at rebooting. Anyone knows how to fix that?
And another problem is, that I cant charge my battery anymore :crying:
Stock recovery-> data wipe

That didnt work. I tried to flash the sbf by Quarx (4.5.2-109-DHT-22-fixed.sbf) and RSD Lite says "Please manually powerup this phone". But the Defy stucks at the Motorola Logo (Blue and Green Light and the softkeys are flashing up).
PS. At least I managed to reinstall CM10 in 2nd-Boot and now can charge my phone
EDIT: Now I did all the steps again and installed CM7.2. But now I stuck not at the Motorola Logo but the Bootanimation is looping... It's strange but I dont get a confirmation that I wiped the Dalvik Cache successfully....
How about full sbf flash
Or try this:
Cm10 bootmenu format to ext3 and flash cm7 zip. Reboot and enter custom recovery and wipe data+ dalvik + cache
