CM9 showing welcome screen each time phone boots

Hi! I'm using CM9 (4.1) on my Motorola Defy and I got a problem that seems pretty simple to solve but I can't figure it out.
Recently I had some problems with the SIM card, just to find out I just had to change the baseband to receive signal.
But it seems that after trying to solve that problem playing with recovery (bootmenu), each time I try to change the baseband and I restart so it takes effect, the phone just doesn't remember what I did previously, asking for the Google account all over again. And, obviously, the baseband didn't change as well.
I already tried wiping the cache, doing factory reset, and wiping dalvik and battery stats. Any help would be appreciated
Edit: Just in case, I had the SIM card problem before flashing CM, I mean, just after I rooted the phone

[Q] Rebooting Defy (in a whole new level)

Hi, I've searched my problem but came up only with "regular" reboot answers. Let me explain:
I was using the newest CM10 builds by Quarx as they were coming, and once in a while my phone rebooted/freezed. I was using nightlies so I was ok with that kinda of thing. But after flashing the last nightly (07/03), my phone was rebooting whenever I pushed him harder than opening the app drawer.
After wiping data, cache and everything else without any results, I've decided to flash an official SBF - Then the phone rebooted in the middle of the RSD flash process. I've started it again and it went ok... but now my phone is rebooting at the Moto logo, when I try to wipe the cache or factory reset through bootloader. I can't do anything with him.
Can someone give me any expectation? Something new to try? Or, hell, even a confirmation that my Defy is dead and there's nothing I can do?

SBF
Hi,
draw the battery,
wait a time,
put the battery inside,
start the steps to flash sbf,
after the flashing is finish make a factory reset in stock recovery,
install 2ndint ( i wrote something on the beginning like: After install 2ndinit restart, deactivat usb debug,and restart again),
Then install one of the beautiful CMs here.

You just have to flash another rom using RSD lite, It will work.
Or just flash the official ROM which u had before installing the CM 10

Thanks for the attention, but I have tried flashing both his original SBF (Retail 2.3.7 from Brazil) and the Chinese one, both causing reboots when I try to wipe data/cache in recovery. If I let it turn on normally it reboots in the first steps (wifi and account configuration), so I can't even install 2ndinit or wipe data through the system. Any other ideas?

[Q] Problems with Process System on PA 3.98

Hi!
I recently updated my ROM to the Paranoid Android 3.98, I did a full wipe, flashed the ROM, latest Gapps (with TWRP) and ever since the tablet has been become really laggy on opening apps or doing anything. I realised something was wrong straight after I booted it up by how long it was taking to connect to the WIFI etc.
Anyway, its hanging a lot on the unlock screen and sometimes I get a "Process System is not Responding" prompt. I've tried going back into recovery and clearing the caches/data again and its still hanging. Ive also tried using CWM recovery to wipe the tablet, flash the ROM/Gapps etc and its still really slow. Lastly, I just tried a factory reset from the settings menu and again, its still the same!
Any ideas on whats up with it and how to sort it out? I was thinking about unrooting it back to stock although I think the problem will still probably happen. I came from the PA 3.95 build and did a clean flash.
Cheers!
Chris

I think I have fixed it by following a post by Chasmodo on how to do a super-clean install.
1) I booted into recovery.
2) Did the three wipes (Data, Cache, Dalvik) several times over.
3) Went to Mount & Storage and formatted both system & cache*.
4) Flashed PA 3.98 & latest PA-Gapps.
5) Wiped both caches again and rebooted.
As soon as connecting WIFI, signing into Google I could tell it was running a lot faster again and now the lag on the unlock screen & opening apps seems to have stopped, also haven't had the "System Process isn't Responding since."
*Chasmodos version of the super-clean install didn't say to format the cache as well although I had tried just formatting the system and it didn't fix the issue. So I thought I'd try the same process with a cache format as well and now all issues seem to have been rectified.
Cheers

[Q] Freezing

I have rooted my phone and its been months now. Have used different roms like gummy, Nameless, Mahdi etc. Recently I had Nameless rom and 3 days back, my phone started freezing when the screen timed out and also froze when there was no sound. I updated the rom but still faced the same problem. Changed to Mahdi but same problem again. Finally I went back to gummy and I face same problem here too. I have done everything except unrooting and going back to Samsung rom.
Pls help me. I cannot understand what is wrong with my phone.

Hi,
Most of this problems come from flashing , did you full wipe / clear dalvik and cache before installing rom?

Hi ,
Did work fine for 2-3 days? maybe something you installed or restore from you back up.
I would flash rom again No wipe and see how it works , if is working fine i will restore only apps ( not system data) one by one and see if you find the culprit

4 days back I installed Nameless updated version and flashed it by wiping data cache and dalvik. I m guessing this problem started after installing the Nameless version. But now I'm off Nameless. I'm back to gummy and I just found that my sounds r not working well and I can't speak or hear when I receive or make a call. Should I just unroot my phone and get the stock firmware? Doing this will it get the phone back to normal?

Flashing stock is an option but before that
I have Philz touch
Make a nandroid back up and copy it with the rom you want to use in your external SD , copy all your music , data , pictures from the internal SD to the external SD
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvick
Mounts and Storage / format /data and /data /media (/sdcard) to clean any possible leftover file from any other rom
Now flash your rom from Sdcard1
If does not work go back to stock a re start all over...

Try to wipe Messenger data and cache or reinstall and if still doesnt work, then wipe dalvik cache from recovery and reboot.
By the way, I remember that you've tested Stock ROM Advanced. There's a new update, Asertion ROM. If you ever try it, let me know your opinion.

I did hard reset, wipe data/factory reset. But i don't get all notifications.. ram is ok but everything was ok before i change to custom and switch back again. I installed official firmware.. did kernel remain at LINARO? Or it changed when i installed official firmware?

When you install the stock official firmware, the stock kernel will be installed as well. You can verifiy that in Settings > About device at Kernel version. Linaro kernel shows something with the word [email protected] (Nick Verse).
