Hey guys, I'm currently running CNA 3.6.6 with the JellyX kernel (5-12 bfs) by Blechd0se. (Great combo, BTW :good
I would like to revert to the official CM7 builds because I admire the stability and battery life offered.
Now to my problem,
I know that I have to flash a froyo kernel in order to install CM7 successfully.
But on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100) it is mentioned Latest Froyo kernel by Epsylon3: 16 May 2012
Latest Froyo kernel by Quarx: 8 Mar 2012. I was not able to locate these kernels on the respective servers (quarx2k.ru and defy.wdscript.fr)
Moreover,these links are dead: CM7 (froyo) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM7_Kernel-signed.zip
CM9 (GB) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM9_Kernel-signed.zip
However, I was able to find this one (kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip) on epsylon3's sever. It is dated June 13 and so I'm assuming it is the latest and should work properly. So will it? I plan on flashing the 9-12 official nightly of CM7. Also I read somewhere that CM7 comes bundled with the kernel, so is flashing the kernel even neccessary? I have also seen a test CM7 kernel by blechd0se, does anyone recommend it for stable daily use and will it be compatible?
I plan to follow these steps in flashing, someone please please correct me if I'm wrong..
CM10 recovery-wipe data-wipe cache-wipe dalvik-install cm7-install gapps-install kernel-wipe cache-wipe dalvik.
Should the kernel be flashed before or after the ROM?
I'm trying my best not to be a n00b here (my first thread here, and you might notice I have just one post and zero thanks ), but I really am confused because on a different thread I read that flashing an SBF via RSD was the only way to do this , and I think this thread will help others who might like to go back to CM7 if they are facing issues with Jelly Bean. I have done my homework reading and am not posting without searching. So Any help will be greatly appreciated , and if I'm being a complete bumbling idiot, please feel free to tell me so. :silly:
Waiting for replies from the awesome folks at XDA,
Cheers and have a great day! :highfive:

PS: Off-topic, has anyone tried the V6 supercharger by zeppelinrox on our Defys (JB/ICS/GB) ? If you have, please share your experience I'm really curious, that's all
Cheers
You're confusing 2ndboot kernels with regular kernel. No kernel flashing is required, because they do not interfere and/or replace each other(2ndboot custom and stock Motorola).
You're better off with the regular kernel(Motorola one), the test one(the one for cm7) is in early development.
You will have to convert data from ext4 to ext3 via boot menu. Select tools, file system tools and convert to ext3.
So, the process is: Convert to ext3, flash Rom(You may wipe system before this for good measure), boot the phone, reboot and flash gapps(you may flash it directly after the rom, but this method works for me)
EDIT: Flashing directly works(just tested) for quite a lot of combinations

i may add that you could either flash a stable cm7 + nightly bcs kernel is missing in the nightlies or you just flash one of maniacs... they come with a kernel and are the most cutting edge (the only cutting edge). good luck.
Again, the kernels above are 2ndboot and do not replace the stock; it's a misconception. So, either way the process remains the same; there is absolutely no need to flash anything else unless mentioned on the rom thread.

Okay..Thanks guys! XDA forums are really helpful And so quick to reply too!
On the ROM thread, they say flash froyo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654)
I'm not sure what they mean..
Do I need to change the default boot to 2ndinit as well?
And can someone elaborate on what differences can be found between the official CM7 nightlies and maniac's ones?
Cheers and have a great day!
No change, no nothing. I'm not really sure about maniac builds, perhaps they use the newer kernel(custom), whereas official uses stock Motorola
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21686557
Differences:
LTO download. (not sure if merged to official)
panic daemon against RIL bug
cant remember what else.
NO custom kernel yet
but things get merged to official sooner or later because maniac is an/the official maintainer for cm7-jordan.

thanks thekguy. i wasted half a day wondering if my defy had finally bricked and all it is was the ext4 causing the problem. with a quick google found this thread and your solution works perfectly. i only wished that they have sticky your solution as i'm sure many ppl are looking for it...
I do have a big problem. I followed all the steps (coming from latest nightly of CM10) with formatting to ext3 and the other steps. I tried to install CM7.2 and everything went well. But now I stuck at the Motorola Logo.
I even tried the sbf-flash but that didn't work because after RSD-Lite-Flash it stucks at rebooting. Anyone knows how to fix that?
And another problem is, that I cant charge my battery anymore :crying:
Stock recovery-> data wipe

That didnt work. I tried to flash the sbf by Quarx (4.5.2-109-DHT-22-fixed.sbf) and RSD Lite says "Please manually powerup this phone". But the Defy stucks at the Motorola Logo (Blue and Green Light and the softkeys are flashing up).
PS. At least I managed to reinstall CM10 in 2nd-Boot and now can charge my phone
EDIT: Now I did all the steps again and installed CM7.2. But now I stuck not at the Motorola Logo but the Bootanimation is looping... It's strange but I dont get a confirmation that I wiped the Dalvik Cache successfully....
How about full sbf flash
Or try this:
Cm10 bootmenu format to ext3 and flash cm7 zip. Reboot and enter custom recovery and wipe data+ dalvik + cache

My boot profile is 2ndinit (not 2ndboot), does this mean that I am using Motorola stock Kernel?

when installing CM9 to your defy is it the same process for flashing CM7 or is there a slight variation or something?
Now why would you open a new thread for this question?
i realised that i could've directly asked on the actual CM9 thread, only after i'd just posted this thread, sorry.

The original thread was Dev based, about the ROM being released and how stable it is as released. This thread was noob based about how to flash said ROM and if it is different from another, very similar ROM.
Why clutter one thread when you can have two?
Anyway, to answer the question instead of of questioning the question, Yes the basic principle is the same. Once you have the System Recovery installed, it's a case of copying the CM9 zip file to your SD card and flashing the same as CM7, although the way I've personally done it is using Multiboot, so that I can normally use CM7 for "production" but can have a go and see how CM9 is progressing for a few minutes or so.

Reboot and press vol- when you seen blue light. You'll be taken to the bootmenu. It's stated in there version of your current bootmenu.
And yes you need to change it speaking of compatibility..

Hi Guys!
I just saw the latest nightly but I'm afraid to flash since kernel will be change and I might not be able to downgrade to stock 2.2.2. May I know if there is a way to flash the latest nightly but also being able to downgrade to stock 2.2.2? I'm currently using CM7 stable ROM
Thanks!
Yes you can downgrade it using your stock 2.2 sbf.

You are using a 2.3.6 DEFY+ SBF? It's bl6 or bl7, either way you can not flash those kernel zips, they are meant for lower bl versions. Make sure you are flashing a Gingerbread (or jordanplus or DEFY+, it's named in many ways) ROM and skip the kernel flashing step.

What the hell? See this - link. Can you see 4.5.x in the middle of the name of every of those stock sbf files? Any ROM built for Gingerbread will work with any of those kernels.
Hi,
That partially answered my query. I would welcome if you could answer my query in some detail.
On my defy with green lens I first ported original stock Froyo then installed GGL ROM. After that I installed CM9-NIGHTLY-120617-Defy.zip but did not install any kernel.zip as suggested by other forums. And then installed gapps-ics-4.0.3-20111217 and most of the things including Opera Mobile, Camera except panorama/FC on stop thereof and GPS and few apps that I use. Opera Mini is not working where I live even via 3G.
Now my question was whether any GB kernel marked for Defy (or even Defy+) work for such CM9-ICS update.
My current kernel via GGL is [email protected] #1 Wed Apr 6 15:55:29 CST 2011.
Is there any other better kernel than the above that you my suggest?
Thanks.

If you flash a Gingerbread kernel (also named CM9 kernel) your camera won't work. Green lens doesn't have compatible drivers on Gingerbread.
Why would you want Opera Mini when you have Opera Mobile working?
If you want a fully functional ROM, I suggest you switch to some of the CM7.2 builds or MIUI Pikachu Edition or WIUI GB. These are all great, stable, fast and pretty much bug-free.
As for the kernels, changing them doesn't help much in my experience, but I do know that Epsylon somehow added some libraries (thought they are onlu meant to fix wifi tethering on CM9 as far as I know) in the Froyo kernel available on his site. You could try it - http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/ . (This one: kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip)
I see that you used the oldest gapps possible, I'm not sure why. Get the latest zip from here (ics version is for CM9, yes) - http://goo.im/gapps/
So, what I suggest to you if you want to stick with CM9:
1 - get the latest gapps, get that kernel and you already have the latest CM9
2 - full wipe (data/cache/dalvik)
3 - install zip - kernel
4 - install zip - ROM
5 - install zip - latest gapps
6 - wipe cache and dalvik (not necessary)
7 - reboot and see how it goes
Panorama still won't work after that, that's for sure, but I don't know what other problems you've experienced....

I really can't figure out what you are saying. Which CM9 build are you talking about exactly? Which kernel(s?) are you talking about exacly? Would be good if you could give me the links to both, so we can resolve the confusion

i really hope for that u done backup for your apps
p.s.
u must flash DEFY+ version for GB kernel
and DEFY for Froyo kernel
Thank you niksy on your info on kernels. However CM9 works well on defy with green lens except for the panorama mode.
I found the old gapps smaller in size. However after your post I reinstalled a later one.
I prefer Opera mini as it has a smaller mem footprint. Since mini is not working here I use Boat browser mini which is quite comparable to Opera mini in speed,
However I have one issue on CM9 when I copied SIM contacts. My phone book got bloated to over 3 times the size with some of the entries duplicated from 2 to 5 times!
With MIUI/WIUI/WP7 I feel the originality of Android is lost with those boxed icons.
Besides I read in one of the posts in xda that WIUI ICS is based on CM9.

What should I SBF to?
What should I use to root?
How do I flash cm9 kernel (I heard its the only way to get the CM10 working on a tmobile mb525)
Once I get a recovery I know how to flash and stuff I just want to be guided until I get to clockwork recovery and have the cm9 kernel flashed.

Since you sound new to flashing roms, you shouldn't start off with an alpha rom you have to port, instead, start with an Epsy CM9 or Maniac103 CM7 -- both are stable and a good place to start learning about rom flashing.
***Before you start flashing sbf's, you should read the sbf thread and find an sbf you like that's on the same BL version you're currently on, or if out of warranty, flash a bl6 sbf so you can switch between the GB and Froyo kernels. I'm not going to go into BL versions anymore, but that's one of the most important things you need to learn when flashing Defy roms and sbfs.***
For rooting, I use SuperOneClick 1.9.5. Then just enable non-market apps and install Defy 2nd-Init Recovery, reboot into it, select wipe data\factory reset, then flash cm7 or 9 followed by the appropriate version of gapps. Those steps will soon become second nature, to the point where you can root and flash a custom rom in your sleep.
All the tools and roms can be found by searching the forums. Good Luck and welcome to the wonderful world of custom roms.

Hi guys,
i know that there might already be an existing thread about this but i wouldn't create one if i had found something that helps me.
Im using a Defy+ with Miui 2.3.2 and i really want to move to CM10 Jelly Bean.
I've found a really cool thread from Quarx and Epsylon about installing CM10 on a Defy+.
I already downloaded the newest release (04.09.) zip file and also the google apps and put both on my SD card.
But as it seems and as i have heard, it's not possible to move from a NON-CM version like MIUI to a CM version by going the typical steps (booting phone in recovery mode, choosing the Quarx zip file and installing it).... or am i wrong?
Can i just put firmware and google apps on my SD card and install that zip from recovery mode and everything's working well?
I didn't mention to wipe the dalvik cache here cause it's just a detail. I just wanna know if this MIUI to CM transformation is possible.
Hope you can help me, i really wanna use Quarx's CM10 cause i've heard it's amazing.
Thank you guys
is there noone who can help me with this or at least give me a link to another thread that already deals about this?
I don't think there would be any problem provided you wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM.

ahhh, now i remember which problem there was with changing from MIUI to CM.
Doesnt MIUI use another kernel than Quarx's newest CM?
Unless and utill you downgraded your kernel to the froyo one, you won't have any issues. I have flashed WIUI GB version for Defy+ and for me the kernel is still the stock one.
Can anyone hep me with this? I had miui then tried to flash cm10, i followed all the steps but when booting up for first time it got stuck miui screen. I guess this means i have the wrong kernel but im not sure how to correct it

1. Flash a new kernel OR
2. Flash your stock SBF, re-root and go from there OR
3 (New option now) Flash the latest quarx JB CM10 with custom kernel included.
Everything for testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote this for maybe less confusion
Works with my Defy - red lense Bayer cam - on Defy+(gingerbread Kernel) Jelly Bean Quarx 24.8 Rom
I´ve
1. Flash test_2ndboot_6.10.zip from http://quarx2k.ru/ or my 2ndboot_06.10.zp from attached dropbox (search for 2ndInit recovery if you dont have and root your defy)
2. Boot into Recovery
3. Set 2ndboot as default
4. Go to tools/adb daemon and klick it and then reboot
If you want to go back to stock gb kernel flash stock kernel -like gb-234-451-134-signed.zip from dopbox i´ve attached
Remember everything is for Test the custom kernel
OT - Multiboot is ok with CM7 but akku is always 100%

BIGNOTE: Green lens users who flashed redlens builds please dont try using flash, you will end up burning it like me and many others

I have done it in such manner
1. Prepared on SD card:
- CM10 ROM 24/09 for MB526,
- gapps for JB
- Qkernel 2ndboot_06.10.zip (with improved 2ndboot.ko)
2. Done factory reset and viped caches
3. Installed CM10 and gapps in normal manner
4. Flashed Qkernel
5. Went to bootmenu and choosed 2nd-boot (there was no chance to set it as default... i think, because phone immediately reboots)
And achieved "half success". All is working but with extremely lags... Was said so after first bootup system suppose to be laggy and needs to wait some time on sleep state with WiFi switched off. I was waiting whole night.
So now I want to know, if my procedure is right.
Nobody mentions gapps during instali of ROM - i suppose it's so trivial so nobody count it on...
Another problem - is there need of factory reset or cache wipe?
After installing Qkernel i went to boot menu to set 2nd-boot as default, but when i choose 2nd-boot phone reboots and I don't know what now with this setting up deafult 2nd-boot...
I am trying to fond any reason of system lagginess. Maybe something was done wrong. What's your opinion? To change ROM build? Or something else...

Of course I can try, but does it make any difference? Well, will see...
So I'm supposed to flash your kernel "as is" without much deliberation over existing installation?
If you are on boot loader ver 7 i cant say that it would work
Some peoples in this

Wrote about problems with custom kernel . Look around page 67 if your defy+ was stock bl7
I am using regular Defy with Bayer module and as first owner I am sure so there was not flashed any full sbf except once when I was forced to flash stock Froyo, so there is no case of BL7 I think...
So if I try can I flash this kernel over existing system or should I reflash ROM too?

Tried without success. Ill have to flash sbf rigth? Which do you recommend?
what are the advantages of using this kernel?
I don't know the advantage, for me it works as i do.
I started with stock cee European gingerbread which I've flashed after offical update comes out
New nightley from quarx cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)
Is out & works a bit faster

In General section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909242&page=84
they talk about BL5 and BL6 is supportet by quarx not BL4 and BL 7
Some say it works on BL7
But better read there for your self.......beforr you flash anything and think about warrity/garantie
For every booting i had to umount and mount again the battery.
And no Deep-Sleep in about 12 hours
Anyone else with this problems?
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------
Now Deep-Sleep is ok. Dont know why .... But ... Quarx said in the xda-developer thread,
that with no usb-cable and with wifi disabled the defy should go 10-15 sec. in deep-sleep.
Before i have had usb-cable on or wifi enabled. Maybe that has been the reason.
After 3 hours 14 % battery drain ... not good ...
Quarx edited a new Rom today.
But after getting more and more slow reactions from the defy+ i flashed the 24.09 version.
All tips didn't really work in a good way.
And I need my defy+ functionabel this days.
But next time again ...
And today again a new kernel for update as *.zip ...
quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/update_for_11.10_v2.zip
13.10 Kernel update:fix wifi tether(reboot), reduce battery drain, compiled with linaro 4.5, fix charge only mode, cleanup unused drivers.
