works on my 2.3. 6 defy+
I am currently using the latest CM7.2-Nightly for Defy+ with the camera and battery fix attached in that post. It is very, very stable and with the fix, the battery charges up to 100%.
Installation:
!!!Read all steps before you do them!!!
1. Copy the three files linked above and the CM7-Google-Apps to your SD-Card.
2. Root your defy. I used this method.
3. Install 2nd-init recovery:
3.1 Download the app SndInitDefy from here
3.2 Install and start the app. Press on "Install 2nd-init Recovery".
3.3 Choose "Latest Recovery"
3.4 Allow the superuser-request
4. If the LED is green now, you can reboot your Defy. Press Vol-Down when you see the blue LED
5. Now you should get into the bootmenu. You can navigate with the volume keys there. Choose "Recovery" and press the power button to select.
6. Now choose "Custom Recovery"
7. Choose "install zip from sdcard" and install the downloaded zips:
7.1 Install cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip
7.2 Install gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
7.3 Install the fixes (the two other zips)
8. Now you have to do a factory reset. After that all your apps and settings will be deleted. If you want to keep them, you must backup the apps/settings first. You could do that with the app TitaniumBackup.
9. Choose "wipe data/factory reset" to do this factory reset.
10. Reboot the defy now. If you stil see the boot animation after five minutes, reboot the defy (I think you must remove the battery and put them into the phone again).
Now you should have a defy with CyanogenMod 7!
possible, in posibble?
188 2.3.6 motorola defy+ their full SBF will not work the root of the superoneclickk 2.3.3 not possible
WARNING!!!
The below guide is useless! It instructs you to download 2ndinit 2.0 which DOES NOT BOOT on Defy+ I have thus far killed 2 phones using it!!! Only use 1.4.2 no later. Thanks! =)

That's strange...
For me it works well, i installed CWM sucessfully on both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 devices. I was using the original firmware (from factory) for the 2.3.4 device and at the second device i flashed a 2.3.6 DFP-139 sbf form droid-developers.org. After installing the latest recovery and removing the "2nd-init Defy" app, I rebooted the phones and everything worked fine.
When you start the phone, do you see the blue led then? If not, you don't have installed 2nd-init correctly. If yes, try to 'wipe data/factory reset' the phone (you should have a backup, this erases all your user data which is not stored on the sd card and all your apps). If the phone is still not booting, you/the 2nd-init installer have/has made a wrong change to the system partition.
Then you should try to flash a new 2.3.4 SBF (look here and also here) and try it one more time.

thank you very much mister ypsilon...
your method works perfectly...camera works...though i cant find out how to check if its charging full, (it shows upto 100%, is that all i need ?)
i have some minor problems though:
1)sometimes when i go out of coverage area and come back, the phone doesn't regain the signal
2)there is no 720p recording...had that in the stock ROM...
i want to try 7.2 cm7 for defy+ but on dual boot, did any one tried ??? plz procedure guyz.
dual boot

afaik you absolutely have to dual boot a defy/defy+...because of the locked bootloader you cant remove the stock rom...
follow the above instructions carefully and you will have a cm7.2...then you can dual boot by selecting the preferred entry from the menu....

Bro even I have done this n times! In fact I had stock 2.3.4 which I upgraded to 2.3.6 by a full SBF flash and since then I have rooted using superoneclick and installed recovery many times and it works perfectly! The only issue however is that there are less frequent releases for 2.3.6 as compared to the Froyo kernel!

Hi,
Good to know new Defy+ are coming in India with latest updates! I too have the very same SBF in my phone. As you said rooting and all not a problem. No need to flash any specific SBF as such. A nandroid backup is recommended in case you want to come back to where you left before flashing! And if you want back warranty just flash the SBF with RSD lite(Walter's thread has the SBF and even I can give you the link if you want.).
For your second answer:
This SBF has BL6. So you cannot go back to any ROM or sbf which has a previous version. Thus, walter said about unability to flash MIUI or CM7. However, you can flash CM7.2 for Defy+ or CM9 for Defy+(By quarx). Just flash the CM. No need to flash any kernel. It worked fine for me. You can even try dual boot and that too works great.
Happy flashing!
thnx a tonne....I was wanting cm7 fr its completeness....n cm9 fr awesomeness.....thnx again....
Also....can u give a link to the best cm7.2 build fr us....?

Bro, dont speak from ignorance, especially when it can lead to others ending up in a bad place. The latest versions of 2.3.6 eg 4.5.1-134-DFP-188 can not be rooted by any currently known exploit, so you have to be careful when choosing an sbf to flash. See here for which versions can and can't be rooted.
There's even a whole thread all of its own where people are trying to root the latest 2.3.6 releases, here.

Yep, I realised it later and saw the whole discussion about 188 version SBFs with BL7! Sorry, if that was offending!!

http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/ That is CM7 nightlies for Defy+ by Quarx!!
Followed the steps listed by Mister Ypsilon, on to my new Defy+ which used to run Motorola Stock with Motoblur. So far looks good. I will post further regarding the battery.
The only glitch that I faced after installing the ROM is that it always froze at the Boot Animation. I had to pull the battery almost 5-6 times and then magically it started to work. Boots within 10 second from the Motorola Logo.
Not sure if the battery pulls were because of something that I did wrong.
Thank you Mister Ypsilon.

Search for Multuboot v0.8, its a flashable ziped file, through which you can dual boot, i have tried and it works perfect !! :laugh:
You will need 3 img files also ,so that your 2nd rom can be installed is sd card with atleast 900 MB of space ..

Use baseband switcher app to choose appropriate baseband according to your location, it may help in signal problem..
I accidentaly installed the CM9 kernel when i should have installed the CM7 one with ICS. Then i made a nandroid restore of my previous CM7. Than... phone dead. Starting but no CWM no ROM booting.
As i have had CM7 with GB kernel( i think) i flashed ( not knowing) an old SBF than didn't booted. I tried the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 T-Mobile It boots, i can root it, install CWM.
But than when i try to install a CM7 nightly ( installed ok) it dies again. Starts but No CWM no Rom booting.
What to do? I don't know what SBF to flash or what method to install?
Problem update I red that the above SBF has a CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy) so i installed several CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy).
They don't work. RSD says PASS but phone is dead .No stock recovery no boot. Only way to get it back to life is if i flash the eclair again.
I red that if i get a back screen when booting i have installed a lower CG version. As i tested with version 4, version 5 GB is the only option. I didn't try it out because there are some issues. Froyo would have been much more easier.
i think many readers of your post are getting problems with understanding your problem ...
you got a stock defy, rooted it, installed 2ndinit via apk, booted into recovery (vol- at blue led) and installed CM7 zip ??? correct ???
after succesfull install of CM7 your phone doesn't turn on? Black screen?
black screen after zip is (i think) impossible ... but i can fail ...
i would like to help you, but first you have to give the detailed steps you did and what you wanted to do ...
To make it simplier
I installed the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 T-Mobile (which is 2.1 update1) It boots, i can root it, install 2nd-init > CWM. Set Normal boot.
Than in CWM nothing works.
Installing a CM7 nightly, or restoring a CWM backup.
I install a CM7 nightly like this> In CWM> Custom Recovery> Wipe data, wipe cache> install Cm7 zip, install Gaaps zip. After this, phone restarts, screen is on, logo appears and i wait and wait. Nothing happens.
Do i have to install a special CM7 build?
The CWM backup does not restore. It says that files are missing ( like android.secure..) I am not interested in keeping downgrade ability. i would like to try another SBF. I am not 100% sure what SBF to use from the wiki page.
I red that the SBF i installed has some special "problems" here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905371. They are talking of a CWM revoery app by tenfair here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
Maybe that works^. Will try it after the phone is fully charged.
so, ok ... thats detailed as i wish
ok, the problem is clear i think ... first of all eclair is not a nice system for a defy ... upgrade to froyo or even gingerbread ... (keep in mind, that GB has problems with green lens camera) ...
than you can root it with SuperOneClick e.g. ... if this is running correctly, you can install 2ndinit via apk ... then boot, vol- while blue led (i know, you know how ) ... in that clockworkmod recovery you can wipe the devices data and cache partition (even wipe dalvik cache in advanced menu) ... then install CM7.2-nightly-.... .zip ... you may have to flash an fixed sbf with the nessesary kernel for CM7 at this point to boot ...
if this is working fine, you can install the gapps.zip via recovery ...
also try to set boot to 2ndinit in boot-menu ... i don't think it's "normal" boot for CM7 ... but i can't try at the moment cause of my bricked defy ...
Thanks for the reply.
The problem is that i can't install other Froyo SBF's. Will try Gingerbread SBF. The last froyo didn't boot, will try a new one. Weird, i know. Maybe someone can tell me which CM7 to flash? An older one with Kernel ? I didn't think the install would be so tricky.
Froyo Full-SBF doesn't boot on your defy?
be aware of flashing Gingerbread then ... if GB doesn't boot, you will have a problem downgrading to froyo / eclair ...
it sonds crazy, that froyo isn't booting on your device ... have you done a full wipe after froyo sbf? it's important ...
I'm on the Eclair SBF right now. What should i do? Go into recovery and do a wipe or install a new Froyo SBF? It's about the CG value maybe. I understand the mechanism but don't know how to check the CG value. If i search for my current eclair SBF i get all sorts of weird stuff. Nevertheless i will try and try until i succeed. It took me a while to figure out the Rooting method. Superoneclick does not work. It's a special method for the 2.51.
The thing is that i wanted to go the my Nordic SBF( the one Quarx used during the first days of CM7) and it didn't booted. That's why i tried this one. Funny ho flashing the wrong kernel(CM9 instead of CM7) can brake things like this. What i don't understand is how my CWM backup didn't restore. It restored well, finished, then phone dead. No CWM.
edit: i just red: 2.51 is Not downgradable. But no downgrade to what??? Will try to some Froyo SBF's, see if works. But that does not solve my CM7 issues.
Tried a few Froyo SBF's. Wiped data/cache in Stock Recovery. RSD says PASS than phone does not boot. Only the 21.51 eclair works all the time.....Where next?
Update 2 got it to work with this>

OMG i dn't understand what was going on with your defy, but i'm happy to know your on the road again
the only sbf that are running are the stock eclair you have (21.51) and the modded BL6 with Froyo Kernel ???
Glad it worked.

Yes but now i am running CM9 flawlessly. So happy. The only thing that bothers me is the Chinese Boot screen )). But that can be changed. It's great that one SBF works, moded or not. I tried like 6,7 other Stock sbf's before. So a message to whom tries to install SBF's: Stay away from JORDN_U3_97.21.51 SBF. Even the Rooting method is awful (until you find it) .
HI Deonix, I have the similar problem. However I am unable to use RSDlite as it gives a failure messg when u click start. I tried JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7.sbf and JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0_CHN_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B50AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTINT15_P003_A020_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.
Both failed, I will try using the rsdlite after the cache and factory rest this time based on your suggestions. Can you tell, if your adb command was listing your device, as mine is not.
my CWM is also gone I get some old android recovery system 3e instead which fails after signature check.
Hi,
I think I know what is your problem.
I also installed the firmware JORDN_U3_97.21.51 and now I can only install any Custom ROM after installing the firmware fix for JORDN_U3_97.21.51.
I did upload it for you: http://www.4shared.com/rar/o02VEk_v/firmware.html?refurl=d1url
It is the following:
Install JORDN_U3_97.21.51;
Rootear;
Install the Recovery;
Install the fix;
enter the recovery and install any rom you want, remembering to delete the caches (data and Dalvik cache)
ps: have 100% of the battery before installing the SBF.
any problems let me know.
Sometimes you could get stuck in a bootloop and all you need to do is pull battery and reboot

I had flashed the custom for 1 time before.Now I cannot use the custom rom again.It likes bricked.
I had tried to flash cm7 and miui with recovery(2ndinit) too.But it is not work.
I only can use JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf this rom now.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Help!!!Help!!!
try this
hi,
try these steps out and hope it helps...
1. Flash your defy with any Stock Gingerbread ROM using RSD Lite.
2. After flashing it root it using superoneclick.
3. Install defy 2nd init.
4. Download the latest stable MIUI for defy (2.4.13) and flash this on your defy using the recovery (make sure you factory reset your device and clear Dalvik cache).
I think you should be able to install custom roms then....defy is not brikable!! :good:
Hit Thanks if it helped.

Hi! I have some doubts to install custom ROM on Motorola Defy+:
When I install CM on Galaxy Note I directly download from CM website, but when go to look for Defy+ I found only the Defy (not +) and the most newest version is 7, instead 9, 10.1 and 10.2 that I can look searching here in XDA. What is the reason of this difference?
Exist any method that if I not like keep the CM can go back to my Defy+ original ROM and unrooted?
Actually the Defy+ have Android 2.3.5 with the operator ROM.
Thanks for your help!

The Defy/Defy+ has no official support from CM after CM7.2. Quarx2k maintains unofficial and highly stable ROMs for the device, despite its limitation of locked bootloader.
Root with framaroot, then install the 2ndinit app. Open the app, and press install 2ndinit bootmenu. Then reboot, go to recovery (press volume down when blue LED lights up) and take a nandroid backup. It is possible to go back to stock via flashing SBF using RSDLite.

I can do some of the steps but I have a problem:
> Already root with Framaroot: OK
> Already install 2ndinit + Superuser: OK
> Nandroid backup: OK
> In Android Bootmenu I select + Recovery --> Custom Recovery, OK until here.
> I do the wipes, OK also
When I try install the ZIP of CM 10.2 ( cm-10.2-20130801-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip ) the process abort and show me the message:
"(status 0) Installation aborted"
I read that for this error message, and the first time, I need install using DUAL RECOVERY (TWRP). I donwload the ZIP of this DUAL RECOVERY (CWM_TWRP_v3-signed.zip) but now start the problem, after install OK, I can boot again the device and see again the Android Bootmenu, but each time that I select CUSTOM RECOVERY the photo show a blank screen and later the Motorola logo and operator logo loop...
Here I don´t know if this is correct or I miss press something in any step, but I can´t boot again in CW recovery or TWRP...
I turn on the Defy+ normally and see that after wipes, the phone boot normally in a clean stock 2.3.5 if this info is usefull...

Dual recovery is only for JB ROMs.

Ups, this mean than now I need install again from the 2.3.5 the 2ndinit to get back the CW recovery, right?
After this I need:
- Install the CM 10.1 from CW
- Install the CM 10.2 from CW or also here I need install before the DualRecovery and from TW install the CM 10.2?
Thanks for your help again!

Thanks, ready, already running 10.2
Anyone have the link of correct zip of gaaps? I already download one for 4.3 from goo.im but show me a error when I try install.
Thanks again!
UPDATE: I already download a pack from goo.im labeled as: gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
install done, but after turn on the phone I look that this pack not have Google Play, can be possible?
Phone work perfect but not connect to my local operator no signal, no 3G I select from settings-- Advanced -- Baseband selection -- and America Argentina Claro 3.4.2-107.9 that is my local operator. I reboot, but nothing work Any idea?

Fixed this I change by the 6.14.7 that no have the label of my operator and work!!!
Now look that all work fine after I install one pack of gapps called gapps-jb4.3-20130813-minimal_edited_20130814.zip from this post. All look good but the strange is that I need install all apps manually, not autoinstall when I login. Maybe because is a "minimal" pack, right?
Now I try restore some data from old apps that I made a backup with Titanium, but now titanium tell me that I not have ROOT access. This CM 10.2 ROM lack of root? How I can root again this ROM to can use titanium?
Thanks again!

Yes, the root access is a bug. To enable, go to developer options, root access, disable and enable again.
