hi can anyone help,
i bought a defy sometime ago and the person who sold it flashed the 2.3.4 stock rom from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127085
so of corse the defy is green lense so there for camera doesnt work.
is there anyway that i can 1: get camera to work and/or 2: downgrade
ive searched and only found some chinese rom but it has dead links and im a little rusty with nandroid backups etc
can someone guied me
p.s im on cm7.1 if that make any diffrance
thanks folks.
I think 2.3.4 can be downgradable to froyo, am i not right?
I have a green lens defy with stock 2.2 froyo, and for cm7, cm9 and miui, the camera works, so I guess that who sold it to you have it upgraded, don't know why, :S
try flashing froyo, then flash cm7 over it
I'm not sure if will work, but why don't give it a shot
tell me if it worked
Good Luck
No he done full gb 2.3.4 and it says its not downgradeable. I've tryed to flash other sbf's but none work.
Thanks for reply mate.

it was true back then that it wasn't downgradable. but lucky you the situation has changed. you can now downgrade your phone and install custom roms. there are 2 methods available since your rom is only on cg or bl 5:
1) read the first post of this thread completely as all newbies should:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
and in there under common problems/questions you'll find your first solution. this method would preserve your phone to bl5 but it's a bit longer than method 2.
2) method 2 will upgrade your phone to bl6 but it's much easier. so if you don't have any problem with that, use this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731&highlight=bl6
That's great thanks.
Just what I was looking for
Is this the same method

Try flashing the full SBF from here - I know the link works because I downloaded it myself a couple of hours ago. It's also rootable using the Droid 3 easy rooting tool linked in that thread. It says in the thread that the green lens camera can be got to work using Greenbreadmod.
If that SBF + Greenbreadmod gets your phone working again then I'd try MS2Ginger or CM7 on it (if CM7 will support the green lens camera, not sure). Take a nandroid backup first - install 2ndInitDefy to get CWM on the phone. MS2Ginger is based on Gingerbread but with some nice enhancements eg 1% battery step, power menu, 720p playback, panorama mode etc. I had the 2.1 version of MS2Ginger on my green-lensed Defy for many months and it was rock solid. I've not tried CM7 but lots of people like it.
ok im downloading it now
so just flash this with rsdlite is that correct.
i have downloaded greenbread 1.1 what do i do with that? do i unzip it on pc or move whole file to clockworkmod backup?

From the Greenbreadmod thread:
Installation:
Install official GingerBread via nandroid + fixed sbf
Install 2nd-init recovery 0.6.1 or later
Install zip from recovery
RTFM
lol i have no idea what any of that means RTFM? haha
im new at all this
i cant flash that rom anyway it gets to creating img or something like that then says executing then says fail???
ive got all moto drivers installed and running as administrator?
just want a stock rom that camera works.
fed up of cm7 keeps crashing.
tries all the others to like miuiandroid and some others.

What version of RSD Lite are you using?
5.2 I think

I used 5.6 to flash that sbf on my phone. Google around, you'll find it online.
Ok I will have a look in a while

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839, by walter79, ur cam will work i and i used this rom its 100% work on my red lense defy plus
1) Is your phone actually working at the moment ie can you power it up and get to the home screen?
2) When flashing, do you power it up in to the bootloader? This involves holding vol+ as you press and release the power button.
I'm just wondering whether you might have too little battery to flash. The phone doesn't charge the battery in bootloader mode so repeated flashing can flatten the battery. I believe that bootloader mode will display something like "Battery low - cannot program" if that is the case. Possible fixes are: (1) The McGyver hack, (2) charge the battery in a cheap external charger eg like this one.

i tried to flashed it with different sbf's found in this forum but none of it work! after flash phone wont boot unlike when you flash it with my current firmware.
i want at least to have my battery back to normal also camera if possible. i tried flashing it with other defy rom but i always got stuck. it seems that ICS was installed but the phone wont load it.

Hey there!
Before you do anything, you gotta root your phone. Then install 2ndint to get recovery mode menu. Only from there can you successfully flash roms and get it to work.
i have the same prob.
i can flash any rom for defy+
my phone is defy green.
i flash dfp 4.5.1-231 (bootloader 7)
my battery and camra not work.
any solution ?
Help
The bootloader is locked !!!
Hi ...
Is almost impossible to downgrade from 2.3.6 to 2.2.
Motorola Defy with green lens work just with 2.2. With "update" the camera will NOT work more and until now is not possible to downgrade !!!
All this, because Motorola don't want to unlock the bootloaders. I personally I have this problem and now am nervous on Motorola...
Most of HTC's and Samsung's have unlocked bootloaders. In this conditions, I wil not buy more Motorola.

If you want any help, we need to know your build number (not kernel). We can then find out what bootloader version you have (6 or 7). If you are on bootloader6 you can downgrade to froyo with a workaround, but on bootloader7, you're stuck.

You're not on bootloader 9.10. That's not what we're talking about. If you find your build number under system settings -> about phone, we'll try to find out what firmware you flashed to find out what "e-fuse level" you're on. Or just give us a link to the sbf you have flashed.

No, we're talking about kernels here. If he is a green lens user on 2.3.6 kernel his camera will not work. He needs to downgrade to froyo. This is only possible on bl6. He can't flash a froyo kernel over bl6 or bl7 without flashing a special sbf.
Ya we can't downgrade..it's not possible..but that special sbf s not there too..an i rite?

Nope, sorry. No going back from there
theres rooting for bl7s i think...so the only solution would be using custom roms
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2
He can root, he can flash custom ROM's, but the only kernel he can use is the GB kernel, so camera won't work (he has green-lensed camera) and if he tries to flash a Froyo kernel, he will end up with a BL error.
Oh..i didn't know that...thanks auris...that's because I'm safe on Froyo and i haven't tried bl7 in practical..

Bootloader 9.10 is not the same as the bootloader version, my friend (yes, it is confusing). If you de-pack an sbf , you'll find a lot of images for different partitions of your phone. The images are all called CG__.smg where __ is a number, e.g. CG31.smg or CG39.smg. Most of these images are signed by motorola with a special version number (e.g. 6 or 7 on defy+ roms).
Our TI Omap processor has an e-fuse built into it which is some sort of a flash counter. It doesn't count how many times you flash, but the level of the CG__.smg you have flashed onto your device. If you flash an sbf with a CG31 (the bootloader) on version 7, you'll never be able to flash a CG31 lower than 7. Motorola increases this number for every update they make, to ensure that a user always uses the latest motorola software. This means it is impossible for let's say a defy+ user on 2.3.6 to downgrade to 2.3.5.
everybody has bootloader 9.10 (EDIT: Most do, but I've seen 90.73 and some others as well), but it has been re-signed and made only to accept the newest kernels, so your green lens is stuck without camera. Only the latest Motorola sbfs are bootloader7 (as of june 2012)
yeah i figure that our cause in flashing you will see codes and code 39 takes time i guess we cant help but wait, thanks guys if theres any solution pop out hope someone will keep us up to date. thanks!!!

5 things you got to do:
1-wait till somebody or motorola will unlock the bootloaders /that will never happens by moto side/
2-sell your phone /nobody will buy it with camera not working/
3-live with it, its your fault, as mine or others defy soc camera users who have flashed with defy+ latest firmware.
4-buy a new phone
5-take it to official moto service, might they will give you an engineering board back

Probably not. The inner battery is usually used for the realtime clock, not memory retention. The firmware goes into flash memory which is non-volatile.
No if you flashed BL7 into green-lensed Defy you are screwed with the camera.

Questions go in the Q&A section
Hello!
So, are there any progress??
CM10 from quarx can be used on any bootloader versions, bl7 green lens camera works. Please be careful next time.
First off, thank you all, especially the developers for all the help you're providing and your hard work.
Now, I am a newbie with Android. I've managed to get a running start and flash Blackberries and WM phones in the past...
But it seems like Android is a little bit over my reach... Been reading for 2 days, flashing, installing sbf's and noting pleases me.
My phone is a used Defy, bought with CM9 installed and the camera not working. The previous owner installed the SBF on the defy, and it stopped working as it's said many times. It was a 4.0.4 android version installed, but I was hoping to install the CM10 jelly bean. Bricked it a few times, but managed to reinstall this SBF: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf
Now my Defy is running the stock android version with motoblurr, but the camera still doesn't work, as you expected.
Now, all I want is: If I still can't use the camera(the previous owner said my defy has green lens, no way to know for sure), at least it could do is run Jelly bean version, and if it's possible overclocked and with ICS(or how's that hardware acceleration patch called?).
If anybody has time to walk me through it, I will be more than grateful.

Hi,
first of all:
the model number mb526 is for the defy+. The Defy got the number mb525.
is the phone rooted? and when, is the cwm (clockworkmod) installed?
when your phone boots up, does the led lights blue?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Hello, and thanks for the fast reply.
It is rooted, and I know it's defy mb525.
I had installed sndinit2.3. The led then turned blue. I flashed it afterwards with rds lite and now I dont think I have any recovery mod installed.
As I know, defy+ models only have red lense camera Moduls.
so you flashed a defy+ sbf on a green lens defy. that's why camera doesn't work.
But no problem.
The best way is to download a froyo sbf for the defy at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
the Nordic is good for installing custom rooms.
flash the sbf via rdslite.
After that, root the phone, install 2nd init and then you can easily install custom rooms.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
Well, he flashed his Defy with a Defy+ SBF. So the model number shown in the 'About' option will be MB526 and not MB525. AFAIK, there is no way to make the camera work now.
And he cannot flash froyo SBF as the Defy is flashed with SBF having BL7 and cannot be downgraded.
Sorry, I forgot that a downgrade doesn't work.
In that case, you have to use the custom Roms for the defy+
a good start is, to download a cm7 build defy-cm.net
boot your phone and when the led turnes blue, pressing the volume down key.
you should get into the recovery menu. I wipe data/cache and the install zip from sd (before you have to copy the
downloaded rom on the sd of your phone).
After cm7 is running, go on and download the latest jb rom of quarx. install the same way as cm7.
that's it.

Well, I kinda did that, but... after I flashed the CM10 jb, the phone starts (the sound of new drive connected in windows led me to believe that), but noting comes up on the defy's screen... restarted...but nothing...
So then I flashed back to the SBF previously mentioned...
Donno if there is a difference between sndinit and CMW...
Should I try it with CMW?

I guess you flashed a ROM intended for Defy (for Froyo kernel, and yours is GB kernel). Try flashing CM10 ROM for Defy+.

One the one side, your hardware is a mb525 - defy but on the other side you're firmware an bootloader is a mb526 - defy+.
so you can only use roms for a defy+ - using a rom for the defy causes the error you got.

The CM7 that's needed to install CM10 should be also for defy+?
Also, don't I have to follow the steps for defy +? Meaning flashing CM9, and then CM10 JB?
Yes, you can flash CM ROMs for Defy+ only, with battery fix as the battery is 1500mah which defy+ has 1700mah.

Last question... Should I use CMW or sndinit 2.3? If CMW is the way to go, how do I uninstall the sndinit 2.3 recovery mod or how's it called?
You will have to install 2ndinit to get CWM.

The CM7 that's needed to install CM10 should be also for defy+?
Also, don't I have to follow the steps for defy +? Meaning flashing CM9, and then CM10 JB?

yes, the CM7 should be also for defy+.
The steps for flashing are the same. But as you have a defy+ now, you need some extra tweaks like battery patch and maybe camera patch. Some of them are included in the actual roms. battery patch is needed because of the different types of battery between defy and defy+.

Thank you guys. I managed to update my Defy to 4.1.1 JB. At least it's running the latest version of android.
Now I'll try to overclock it... Hope I don't brick it...

Yeah, but I tweaked a little bit the voltage, as my battery is a little bit dry...

Back again here.
Question as usual.
Is there any chance I can downgrade if I take my defy to a service? Can they do it with some cool toys?
Just reflash your stock SBF using RSDLite and it will be back to how it was when you bought it.
