Need help!! Dont knw wat to flash. *Confused* - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before i gave it to service center, i had green lense and froyo kernel for sure and flashed CM7, CM9, Miui, Wiui, Popcorn,etc.
When they returned me the said we had to change motherboard, now it is of defy+ and the sbf tha they flashed is "4.5.1-134-DFP-1321 - retail-asia full Blur multilanguage(2.3.6)", So now can i install CM9-Defy+(Quarx) without any kind of problem, and do i need flash battery_fix from auris?

You don't need battery fix for Defy+ on Quarx's build.

Did the service people change the device to Defy+ entirely, like swap the phone? Replacing the motherboard does nothing except fix whatever problem you had, as the motherboard is the same. The camera and battery differentiate between green lense, red lense and defy+. Use this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116694 to see whether you have red lense of green lense now. Also, go into your settings and see whether it says MB525 or MB526, if you have MB525 find out whether red or green, if you have MB526 you can flash the quarx defy+ rom without any addons (no battery fix or kernel).
Hope this helped, give thanks! :laugh:

they dint replaced the phone, just said "We have to replace motherboard and screen." but I guess I can flash quarx defy+ build because under setting it says mb526. As far as thing about lens is concerned I dint find any "cameracommon" or "jordancamera" kind of match in catlog.

Guys, I have one more question to ask, I think though it's defy+ sbf that the guy from service center has flashed, still when I install "home switcher" it says u have a froyo device. As much I knw about sbfs kernel is included in sbf itself. Then why so says it's a froyo device?
I m asking so many questions I knw, but I don't want any bootloops while flashing cm9.
I hate bootloops.

I'm not sure why home switcher says its froyo. Some of the earlier bl6 build behaved as froyo but that was 2.3.4 builds.
IMO your device is a defy+ now & gb ROMs should work flawless..
Also one more thing.. Is Your camera working fine??

[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?
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
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+

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!

That's a 2.2.1 sbf. He is on 2.3 full sbf with no downgrade so he can't use
that.
ok , i don't know why but most of function are ok.
Just the camera doesn't work : black screen.
Is there a issue for green lens for u3.4.5.1-134 ?
Thanks.

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.

I am not sure, but previous versions by eppy, talking bout dec 2011 builds, were defy+ builds too and they worked on the normal defy. But I have forgotten, how or what was to do oO
I wouldn't try it, cause I am too afraid to do something wrong and brick. have you fully read through the CM9 thread? maybe there is kinda an answer.
Other possible problems, i thinnk can appeare are:
-Battery not loading, due to different battery properties
-Camera Problems
I would recommend, to wait these 2-3 days until a new defy build appears. This will be optimised for the "normal" defy.
I also heard people are experiencing problems with 1104 build...
You will have to flash the gingerbread kernel first (defy+ kernel) and afterwards you may have battery problems.
And if you have defy green lense your camera wont work.

Yup, as mentioned in this thread you can install in red lens defy after flashing the defy+/gb kernel but you also need a battery patch as the charge ratings are different for defy and defy+.

You may have to find the patch for battery first which works with DFP-231. Other than that, I don't think there should be any problem.
I only have a Defy Plus. So, can't test it.

Try flashing the GB kernel, there's a rare chance it might wrk..

Already fixed the battery problem?
You can root using the method from dev section (the bl7 method, use only then). Afterwards instal 2nt Init. Now you can instal custom ROMs again (only the defy+ ones). After that you might also have to flash a battery fix.
But camera will most likely never work for you without a new defy sbf released.
