hi guys, having major issues here.
i'm on JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf, a t-mobile 2.1 rom. i have rooted with an old version of superoneclick because 2.1.1 wouldnt work, i've installed sndinitdefy 1.4.2 which all goes fine.
the problem comes when flashing any froyo 2.2 sbf, none of them work. In RSD at the reboot stage it just says PASS rather than rebooting, and it sticks at the motorola screen. ive tried with 4.9 and 5.x RSD.
i literally dont know what to try next. how can i get onto a froyo rom?
ive tried flashing straight from 2.1 to a CM7 and PAYS rom which didnt work either.
everytime the sbf fails im forced to flash back to JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf, which always works fine.
please help
Try 2.3 gb using nandroid + fixed sbf may work n did u wipe b4 n after flashing??

if your on tmobile 2.1, try updating thru settings and download the update ota, or root phone then update via zip, which I think is somewhere in the dev forum. Root first then install 2init.
E. Try redownloading your sbf
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
how come some sbfs are 160mb and others 16-17mb?
have you got the link for the tmobile zip??
thx
i did try wiping between roms
if i were u i wouldn't update to 2.2.2
2.1 is much more better and less bugs.

could be good.

Hi guys,
how did you get on with getting out of this build and was it working ok on your phones?

Thank you, Jalal-jap, Thank you God!!!
Oh my god!
Thank you soooooooo much Jalal-jap.
Many thanks also to dlhxr for bringing this to xda and to d4d9 on mfunz for finding this gem.
My phone is fully restored to 2.2.2 froyo!
I haven't checked camera because of possible flash burn out mentioned in dlhxr's post but battery and all other functions are now fully working and I have a phone signal again!!!!
This definately looks like an original motorola build and is very responsive & smooth. All be it most of the menu's are in Chinese.
At last a solution to all those bricked defys at the bottom of drawers, lets see what the developers can do with it to make further improvements on the defy.

OK now for the good stuff.
I followed the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807899 and it works but see below for observations.
I haven't repeated the instructions below so read the other post this is not a guide.
ran superoneclick and it took much longer than before - it reboots twice so don't disconnect until its finished.
ran 2ndint old version - 1.4.2 and installed 2nd init no problems - had earlier problems with latest 2ndinit in that it installed but i never got the blue led to boot into recovery, possibly due to the state my kernel and boot system were in but the older one definitely works.
rebooted into boot menu vol down @ blue led
cleared user data, cache, devit cache
installed cm10 zip from sd card
rebooted and then realised i hadn't recleared cache, opened recovery again on boot (@ blue led)
cleared cache and rebooted again.
chinese boot screen logo came up for about 30 secs (dont panic) then the spinning CyanogenMod wheel for a while then it started jelly bean!!
All seems fine except I dont have a battery icon at present and the red led is illuminated (thinking about it I accidentally wiped the battery data when clearing the davik so this may be my bad!)
Never used jellybean before so gonna have a play, try overclocking / undervolting again for a while then post back.
I`m one big happy bunny right now and thanks again to all of you that helped directly or indirectly to get me to this point

good luck
to tidy up and give pointers to anyone else that ends up on this thread from a search.
The battery ? icon and red led issue has now been fixed using the red lense fix for cm10. A bit strange as I have a green lense defy but presume its the red lense / defy+ kernel in the chinese BL6 rom that has caused the issue.
I originally installed the 2013 cm10 2nd boot daily over the bl6 froyo, but then reflashed using 2013 daily cm10 1st boot version to see if it was 2nd boot version problem but no difference.
As that problem is fixed I have overclocked to 1200Mhz and the phone is working much better than it ever has.
battery is lasting a full day which it often didn't using stock at 800MHz so the latest build is obviously much more efficient.
One thing I noticed after flashing back to the 1st build rom is that my wifi signal is much weaker than it was on the 2nd boot version but as I have now set everything up and got the phone set up as I want it I wont change back for a while, it works and that's the main thing.
my settings are:
25vsel1 @ 300mhz
42vsel2 @ 650mhz
60vsel3 @ 1200mhz
threshold set at 90%
very stable, no hangs or reboots, cpu mflops 1 core = 30.1
Quadrant full benchmark results = 1560
good enough for me!!
No other issues found as yet.
Thanks to all who helped once again - hopefully I can pass it on in the future.
Hello dear xda community.
I own a Defy+ with 2.3.6 stock Kernel and want to switch to CM7. (Do I need another Kernel?)
Which build do you prefer, I can't decide between:
7.1.0-11
Quarks nightly
Epsylon3s nightly
maniacs nightly
Basically I'm just looking for a stable AOSP/blurfree ROM, so which one is the stablest up to now?
Which of the mentioned ROMS need/work with the battery/camera patches and are there different versions of these patches around? (here and here)
Am I right that there should be no more problems than battery and camera functionality up to now?
Thank you in advance
Edit: Another question I forgot:
In the title of the 7.1.0-11 it is written "Android 2.3.7". So does this mean even though the zip doesn't contain a Kernel it does contain 2.3.7? I couldn't find a 2.3.7 kernel for the Defy+ elsewhere.
Edit 2: I found an answer concerning whether to use 7.1.0-11:
The latest nightlys are stable, don't use 7.1.0-11

Though thats a tough statement whenever it comes to nightlys, I assume I will trust him here.
Like I wrote to you (by PM) before, I don't own a Defy+, but I'd say go on and try the latest Defy+ nightly which is from Quarx at this time: cm72-20120308-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip md5 checksum: 8df5562b60ded2978a38eb9ac21bdc8e .
Make a nandroid backup of your system (custom recovery / advance / backup&restore / backup all) before installing it and then see how it goes from there...
If it really doesn't boot up, you have problems with battery not fully charging, camera or other things, you can find solutions or ask again - but at least you'll have a nand to fall back on... so no risk involved.
I haven't tried that specific March 8th Defy+ nightly yet, but I bet that it is probably at 1 or 2 small fixes close to perfection and you won't regret installing it I assure you.
Just be patient at first boot and wait a good 5-6 minutes before thinking being in a bootloop and do anything crazy..
God luck.
I tried cm72-20120308-NIGHTLY-Defy+.
Wifi is not working ..
and battery yet to check..
also camera prob..
Hi AL
i reinstalled it and now wifi is working..
But the problem now is battery..
It drains off quickly.
Also i used get atleast 50% signal at my home..
but now with this, its not catching the signal at all..
Its fine at places where full signal is there..
Let me recommend CM7 WhiteRabbit Edition 1.3! Pure awesomeness + Aroma touch based installer. This means you can customize your installation (e.g. defy+ battery fix, what apps you want installed, witch wifi driver, etc)!!
Install the PLUS edition for gingerbread kernel!

auroma installer starts off fine works upto letting me select the options and everything ...just when it says "click next to start " when i do ..it just says
system/mount
error(system/mount) fail or something ...
and pretends its complete and asks for reboot
after reboot i discover no changes and it just acts like a facotry reset too place and i need to configure everything again
ive tried everything on the net ..please do help ..should i flash a lower version like froyo and try again ??

Please, guys, stop the confusion. Both of those are Froyo only.
@athenus Have you managed to flash any ROM? From those you have mentioned...
CM7.1 - Froyo only
maniac's builds - Froyo only
Epsylon's builds - there are both Froyo and Gingerbread available
Quarx's builds - both Froyo and Gingerbread available <- this should be your choice. The latest Quarx's builds is awesome and you can find it here - http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/
P.S. Quarx is currently the only developer that actually owns a DEFY+.
If you are confused still, feel free to PM me, as I can't keep with all the threads I've posted in

I might be wrong, but the problems you have described having make me believe that you did not use and set the Defy Baseband Switcher app properly. Am I right/wrong?
Phone carriers around the world do not all use the same radio frequencies to receive/transmit phone signal and after any first install of cm7, you have to use that included app, give it root access, select the baseband that correspond to your location/carrier and reboot. Failing to do so causes bad signal eception, high battery drain and hot phones...
I hope that it was your problem because it will make it very simple to solve for you then.
EDIT: I believe that the baseband can now simply be changed under: Device settings/Baseband selection - no more dedicated app...
Installation failure of CM7 latest Joudan-plus
I hope someone can help me please . . .
Having rooted the phone successfully, and having followed all the relevant instructions (including installing first the various utilities - Titanium, 2ndInit, etc), to upgrade my Defy+ Build 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 with the latest CM7, I copied the CM7 zip to my Defy+ then installed it using 2ndInit - success.
Then, on the reboot, the phone just hangs at the M logo.
After doing the normal recovery, and trying to install again, these messages appear:
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Can anyone suggest what I should do next to recover the situation?
Installing CM7 on Defy+
Following my previous posting, I installed the nightly Jordan plus, from the night before - the only other one available.
That installed without any error message,
However, upon normal reboot, the phone hung at the M logo.

and then trying to install three different version of CM - they are, CM 7 (both of the available Jordan Plus Nightlies), and then a CM 12 from another posting here in XDA.
All three resulted in the 'signature' problem. But the filename of all three files said they were "signed".
So can someone please explain . . . ?

Installing CM on Defy+

Could this be a Bootloader problem?
I see references to similar symptoms being fixed by unlocking/relocking the Bootloader.
But my understanding, from the Cyanogen Mod website, is that CM looks after this automatically . . .
I have just installed cyanogenmod 9 on my defy from given link. it is just showing startup logo not going forward. after waiting long time same cyanogenmod 9 logo showing.

Please be more specific on what build you are trying to install and what kind of defy you have (defy red lens, defy green lens, defy+).
Defy red lens and defy+ are no different, just that the latter has different battery and capacity. Green lens SOC defy is different and can only use froyo kernel builds (GB kernel builds have camera problems).
Defy Red lens: Can take Quarx CM9 builds from http://quarx2k.ru and flash. You can as well use quarx cm9 defy+ builds (GB kernel)but you need battery fix for battery to work (you can search CM9 thread to get this, otherwise just reply to me and will attach next time).
Defy+: Can take defy+ builds of Quarx and flash.
Defy green: Can take Epsylon CM9 builds and flash.
Enjoy flashing!! Thank me if I had helped you

First of all sorry for my bad english and thank you for reply.
Well I have defy with green light (mb525). I just install bootmenu in it and then install "CM9-ICS-MR1-120305-jordan" in it from quarx another link (I think it was froyo kernel). when I restart my phone It was hang on boot logo (pic is attached)..
Now the big problem is I want go back to CM7 or other 2.3 froyo but when i go to the bootmenu (the bootmenu i had installed before delete, i dont know why), the (install from zip) option not showing. it is just showing update from zip , cache wipe and format.
Now please let me know how to solve the problem. Thanks
Hi, seems like you are entering to the wrong recovery.
Does the blue led blink before the boot animation? If then, press volume down during that blink and you should enter the CWM recovery. If not you've possible overwritten the 2ndinit. (Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong)
good luck

Are you pressing volume down during blue light?
If yes and anyway you access the recovery menu that you said (just "install update.zip") then maybe you will have to flash a clean .sbf image and start over with rooting the phone, install 2nd init...

I installed 2nd init for bootmenu and then install ROM after installing ROM bootmenu vanished. (i dont know why). Now Rom is not working properly and have no CMW for reinstall ROM. when I press volume down key on blue light, the defy default menu shows up there are only 3 option cache clear, format and update from sdcard.

NOW will it fix with flashing SBF?

Flashing an SBF should fix your problem.
check the link. You will need the .SBF, RSDLite and to boot the phone in "boot loader" mode, it is holding volume up while you power on the phone.
Take care the SBF you will flash since they might be not downgradeable I mean, if you flash a GB SBF you will not be able to get froyo anymore.
read a lot before to do anything and let me know how it goes!

Red or Green Lens? Defy or Defy+?
If Red Lens then you can use Defy or Defy+ build straight from Froyo after installing 2nd init.
If Red Lens Defy with Defy+ build, you will need a battery fix
If Red Lens Defy with Defy build, nothing else needs to be installed
If Green Lens Defy, you can only use Defy build. Nothing else needs to be installed.
If Defy+ You can only use defy build, nothing else needs to be installed.

I believe that little android guy is the stock recovery. From what I remember you hold both volume buttons and it takes you into stock recovery.
Unfortunately, you will no longer have 2nd init installed, which allows for CWM recovery, so you can't flash a zip from there.
How long does it stay stuck on the blur logo? Maybe you're just not waiting long enough? (Stupid question I know, but some people complain after 2 minutes, the first boot can take a long time!)
Try looking at This thread and see if the link which is in this post will work to download the Taiwanese SBF. For me it doesn't seem to load
Edit: - Oh the Taiwanese SBF did eventually download. Took about 5 minutes with the tab open loading. I've uploaded it to my Dropbox so you can download from there... should be a bit faster!

Thanks for helping me out....
The motorola logo stays around for 20 seconds after with the Motorola boot animation starts.....
So i left my defy on for around 20 mins and nothing is happening its still playing the boot animation. !!
I havent yet downloaded the sbf link you have given me as i am at work now and will be able to do that only when i reach home.
Another thing i have noticed is that i am able to charge my defy....that means the rom is present and hopefully working !!
What say....???
Have you done Factory Reset????
1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)
2- press and HOLD the volume DOWN button + power button
3- Motorola logo appears first, then after a few seconds an 'android ROBOT logo' appears
4- press volume UP and DOWN buttons at once, quickly
5- from the menu choose 'factory reset/wipe-format data'
6- then do 'wipe cache'
7- then do a reboot
see if it helps and you are able to start the phone normally
Euro your awesome!!

Guys I have the same problem.
Phone was upgraded from Froyo to CM7 and took it fine. Played for a while in CM7 but decided to upgrade to CM10.
Followed the steps from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
flashed foryo Kernel
Flashed CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip
Flashed Google apps
Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik
Phone boots but gets stuck at Motorola logo and after blue and green light it loops back again to the same sequence.
It's a Defy with green lens and it had stock T-Mobile Froyo (rooted) before flash to CM7.
I'm now back to CM7 as CM10 didn't want to work.
sorry didnt get you

hey buddy...m sorry i didnt quite get you....
As per my understanding i believe your phone is working fine with CM7 installed and you want to install CM10 on your defy !!
am i correct !!
if you then let me make it clear that the latest CM10 build used a custom kernel made by quarx himself....it is not running a froyo or gb kernel...
so here is what you need to do....
1. simply factory reset your phone...clear cache and dalvik...
2. now flash the latest CM10 build
3. again...clear cache and dalvik...
4. and now let defy boot....first boot may take a longer time....
hope this works for u...if it does not...let me know...will b glad to help u...
Thanks

Yes, you are correct. the phone is working fine with CM7.
Factory reset, you mean from boot menu or the hard factory reset with holding volume keys (procedure posted above in this thread)?
The first time I actually tried, I did flash of CM10 without the prior kernel flash and it didn't work either.
so do I need any kernel flash or do I just flash it with CM10 and it should work?
I'll try again later today or tomorrow.
Thanks

Lots of us who had bootloops trying to flash CM10 24/09 with a BL5 base SBF solved the problem by flashing a BL6 base Froyo SBF.
But try a factory reset and flashing your stock T-Mobile Froyo first.
If your stock doesn't flash properly then it means you have inadvertently flashed something which updated your BL version to BL5.
I flashed the JDGC_U6.2.13.0 SBF which is BL6 and then I was fine.
Don't use this ROM though, just use it as a stepping-stone to install CM10.

Hi, i have some questions about the 2ndboot updates. I had tested cm10 for a while now (but currently in cm7.2), but i got a little lost with this whole kernel update.
1st of all, in quarx page i don't see a "cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy/" folder, just the one for defy+, this new builds are only for defy plus yet?, or there work on both devices?
and if they do, how sould i install them, do they change to 2ndboot by themselves or do i have to do it myself?

They are for both and no change is required from your part in the bootmenu settings
I've tried flashing 10.11 and update.zip today, with no luck.
I first tried flashing over my original cm10 (9.12 - froyo kernel, on green lens) - wiped cache, then dalvik.
boot loops on red led
then i tried wiping all data/cache and flashing both again
same boot loops
next i tried flashing a new sbf (t mobile usa 2.1 updated to 2.2 - then rooted and 2ndinit)
now still waiitng at red led on boot, but no boot loops.
I have read the bootup time is very long the first time, but I've let it sit over 15 minutes, and tried a battery pull and let it sit another 15 minutes.
I am about to try again from nordic deblur 2.2 sbf
Am i doing something wrong? I'm not an expert at this stuff, but i'm usually pretty good about following directions. please help!
Amazing job again Quarx and everyone!
Start fresh; use the ultimate wiper for defy and flash cm11/10, and them flash only update v2

I think You've misundersttod my friend. There no long time of bootlooping. Theres a long first boot. Boot lopping shouldn't happen continuously.
Maybe following the steps below from a post on the defy general forum should help

OOk guys so I found this thread which shows MS2 got a custom kernel. The proceduce is bit difficult but can be modified for working for Defy too.
Hope has struck back again.

BIGNOTE: Green lens users who flashed redlens builds please dont try using flash, you will end up burning it like me and many others.
STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN YOU HAVE BOOTLOOPS OR BLACK SCREEN WITH RED LED ON:
-1st of all set default boot to 2nd-boot
-Go to recovery and flash the 24.9 build
-Then flash the kernel 6.10
-After that flash the latest build
-Wait and you will have your phone working proper.

Also you cont just go down to a previous sbf version. Youve flashed a custom kernel. You would need to go to your standard kernel which you would find elsewhere. I think the CM10 faqs have the 525 and 526 kernels
i followed the same procedure as last time, but this time starting from the nordic deblur sbf and everything worked fine. no bootloops. long first boot time. If anyone tries this, do NOT use the official tmobile USA sbf. didn't work for me at all. I'm guessing that's why i had problems with 9/24 build as well.
Flashing nordic to workaround red led + black screen ?

Hi,
Your message rings a bell to me !
I have tried to flash cm10 18/10 + update_v4 on my Defy (green lens) but I have failed, I always get stuck on red led + black screen. Waiting or removing battery and retrying did not help. Wiping did not help either. I am coming from cm7, had never flashed cm9 or cm10 before, and before cm7 my phone was on french froyo stock rom 3.4.2-164.
Do you think I should try to flash another sbf, such as nordic deblur sbf as you did ?
Is your bootloop like that:
Splashscreen -> red LED + black screen -> Splashscreen -> red LED + black screen
If yes, you should think about upgrading your bootloader...
Had the same problem and was on BL5, some people in Support thread had the same prob on BL5...
So I flashed this chinese rom, rooted and upgraded to cm10 and everything worked fine for me.
Use this SBF just as a stepstone to CM10, because it may break your flashlight or ****.
Make sure you have snd-init on your sd, cause there is no gapps on the sbf...
well thats it...

In my case, it's not looping, it is stucked on red led + black screen.
did you wipe cache and dalvik?
or did you try a clean installation?
wich sbf was the last one you flashed?
