[Q] unable to install MIUI

Hello friends,
I have installed custom ROMs many times before... I have tried MIUI, cyanogenmod 9, etc...
But, before few days my phone had stuck at the boot logo, so I flashed it using the SBF- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7
my phone is Motorola Defy (green lense) MB525...
Now, when I am trying to install MIUI or WIUI , it is showing installation complete,
but, after rebooting the system it is booting in my Normal FROYO only...
How can I install MIUI on my phone again now????

What the.. unbelievable.. Ok then try a newer 2ndinit apk and check the installation zip files. Is the problem limited to miui or does it happen with ANY ROM?

Problem Solved

Thank you very much buddy!!
Actually, this time I was using "tenfar recovery" on my friends suggestion... I think there was some problem with that...
Now, after flashing my defy I installed the newer version of "2nd init recovery"...
And MIUI is running well on my defy now...

[Q] Confusion with camera

Hi All,
I am one of the victims who mistakenly flashed defy+ sbf on a normal defy with green lens. It was bricked for quite some time and then later magically one day DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1 134_DFP-231 SBF worked. Now the phone (orginally MB525) only accepts custom ROMS made for MB526 with camera not working. the message i get is "Can't connect to camera". Recently i tried Quarx build made for MB526 (4.1.2) and suprisingly my camera was working fine. The only problem i was having is my phone would not give me a ringtone music when a call comes and the moment i make a call the screen goes off. It will only come back ON when the other party disconnects. Sometimes that will also not happen and i will have to totally restart my phone (i am guessing the sensors are also not working). For some time I tried using option in Accessability saying power button ends call. Volume rocker turn of doesnt work.
Finally, now i am using a WakJIUI Rom based on GB. Everything works perfectly except for camera and sensor. I have a workaround of sensor where i can choose not to have the screen turned off while on call and volume rocker key works like a charm.
Now, the reason why i started this thread is a vauge idea came to me where i am thinking of having a WakJIUI Rom as stable and use Quarks 4.1.2 build as second boot. I have no idea how to use dual boot. i have read forums but they are confusing.
Anybody who can help...

You cannot dual boot Quarx's CM10.
You can flash Quarx's CM10 and Jelly X kernel to fix ringtone bug, and to fix proximity issue there is an option for "Inaccurate proximity sensor" in Settings > Display under CM10
You can try to fix proximity sensor issue, watch the following video: http://youtu.be/uMk1S90MjbY

Thanks for the insight. One question again : In past when i tried flashing kernal of CM7 and CM9 my phone gets into soft brick mode. where i again have to flash the sbf i mentioned above. i am guessing thats because these kernals are made for MB525. Now that my phone identifies itself as MB526 will this jelly X kernal work....

no, no need to flash any sbf, because it's 2nd-boot
Flash rom, flash gapps, flash jellyx
if you get black screen after bootmenu pull the battery and restart

Thanks for the advise man. I did complete data wipe and cache partition. Flashed the Jelly X Kernal, then installed the sister JB. My camera is working fine. Ringtone issue fixed and also thanks to that video maker, my proximity sensor issue is also resolved.

[Q] telephoney rebooting

Hi, i found a problem in my defy that annoying me ...when making several phone calls or receiving ones suddenly a message appears that thers is a problem with telephony layer and the device has to reboot after 40 sec ...i`m tried to delete the programs that kill applications at expense of ram memory ...installed latest miui build and tried to call a free number about 30 times ..no hanging up happened..but the problem comes after several days of using defy and i tried this build for some hours...i`m very satisfied with Cherry Picks Un-official CM-7.2.0-RC0 when rebooting happens...is there something wrong about the device itself or about the cm7.2 build .or about the base band of the carrier or what? thanks

You have nothing to do is a bug in Motorola RIL.
The only workaround to avoid this bug is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40957597

this problem has appeared lately ..after 1.5 year of having defy ...!!! there must be something new leads to this bug...i think ..it`s a software issue
the same froyo kernel 2.2.2 didn`t change..while the one is kept up to date with new builds of cm.7.2 when the problem appeared 2 months ago ..
yesterday i installed Pikachu Edition 2.Xz the bug disappeared ..when back to cm7.2 with the same trials of dialing the bug back again ..
what do u think?

This bug I think it's a hardware bug.
I installed many Rom's but no change. But you can try with the one that you think is not making you problems but for more than a day you should test it.
For me this bug sometimes(very rare) is not showing for a couple of weeks.

I have a similar problem, except I'm using CM10.
I posted it in the FAQ thread and got this suggestion:

Try wipe cache(stock & custom) as well as dalvik, it has helped others
Make sure correct baseband
If that doesn't work, new SIM card
Good luck

Trust me, none of this is working.
Wiping caches doesn't help I have wiped them from 10.2012 till now thousands of times.
Baseband change is working for a short period of time.
Changing SIM card not working as I have changed 3 times till now.
Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691017
Even the stock Rom had three reboot problem the only difference is that is not showing you the message.
The only solution I found is to disable data connection as I have said.

DELETED

i too have just got this problem. i just got a 850/2100 asia retail defy+ mb526, that is distinct from my original 900/2100 europe model visually in that this new one has silver buttons, battery cover slide, and case screws.
anyway, never had the trouble in my old one, yet tried plenty of roms, this new one i dont know if it did it to begin with as i rooted it straight away, but since then ive tried cn & eu / rooted and not sbf's and cm version 7, 9 & 10 & various baseband options but always get the "telephony layer problem, will restart" every 10-20 mins or so.
however on cm9 it doesnt popup and ask to reboot, it just appears to restart the telephony layer, as you see it go off 3g, then show no signal, than reconnect back up again. so i will stick with this rom for now, as it means less down time rebooting.
out of curiosity is there any logs that can be read or generated that would mention the error ?
im sure this has been looked into though, still no solutions ?

[Q] Defy No Network (2G and 3G)

I have a problem in my Defy Plus
All the ROM that I install everything works perfectly except for the network (2G/3G)
My location is Brazil (South America) with the operator "Tim".
I've been in the Advanced option and changed the baseband and nothing worked.
The only Rom that works perfectly is the Original Network (2.3.5)
I need help, I can not get the old Rom who is consuming a lot of memory and is very old.
Please help me out.
Note: The current Rom is XPeria D 4.1:laugh:
Grateful.

Use the Defy baseband switcher.

It might be your APN settings. Are they correct?

Before performing the installation Whiterabbit will perform a downgrade to version 2.2 Rentail (can sometimes conflict is happening between ROMS)

This problem is there in all roms. Only way to fix is to reboot. But for you I guess its different. I suggest you to experiment with different basebands.

Give up = (, should not have solution = /already installed android 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 2.3.7 and none worked. Only with the original ROM 2.3.5 worked.

Try various basebands using defy baseband switcher

I tested ALL baseband and the maximum that can stay with the network was however not hear anything during the call! Messages work with the internet. Any suggestions?

Inside the folder /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ files which are responsible for the network? Mantelos and so I can replace the others (who are not on the network but the configuration of the call / message)

Replace the whole folder from stock and try.
