Hi.
I just bought used defy.
Recently I saw that i have defy+ rom.
Exactly : system : 45.0.2310.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.Eu
model : MB526
Kernell 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e

And my question is how to check if i have possibility to downgrade to froyo ?
Or it's sure that I would not ?
Sorry for my not perfect english
Not possible unfortunately

Why do you want to downgrade?
Is your camera working properly? If so, you can use DEFY+ CM7 builds or just use the custom kernel CM10, whatever suits you better.
If it's not rooted, search for "bl7 root", as that firmware is a bl7 one.

I flashed the 2.3.6 TIM Brasil im my device, and they told me in a blog that i could not change to any custom rom anymore, so i thinked it would be a good idea to ask before trying... To install this rom(ms2ginger) i can use only the droid2bootstrap to recover the zip file or i need to follow the downgrade tutorial before?
(Sorry for my poor english...)
Edit:i flashed the ms2 ginger without using the tezet downgrade sbf and it worked!But camera preview is not working!It takes photos but i cannot see the preview... i must reflash the rom again and flash the downgraded sbf?

(i did not have understanted the downgrade tutorial, so if it is needed to use it can anybody explain it to me please?)
(Sorry for my poor english...)
Edit: Since i flashed a full 2.3.6 rom does this mean that i will not have 720p recording in the ms2ginger?

Actually, as long as you don't update to Vivo 2.3.6 or the Personal 2.3.6 (argentinian carrier), you can go back to Froyo and install any custom rom you want, there's a tutorial in the Android Development section. Sorry I can't help you with ms2ginger, I haven't used it yet.
And why do you say that you'll not have 720p recording? I'm pretty sure it works.
720p is only working on official roms and argen2stone and ms2ginger coz this 2 roms are based on official roms, debloated and deblurred,

I already have seem the downgrade tutorial but i wanted to know if i need to downgrade before flashing ms2ginger since it is based on the stock roms but i will try to flash it and see what happens.
PS:i had asked about the camera because in his post walter79 said: "* via greenbreadmod 2.0 and if you never flashed a Android 2.3.6 full sbf" and I got a litlle confused... so thank you by the answer .
Edit:i flashed the ms2 ginger without using the tezet downgrade sbf in the tutorial and it worked!But camera preview is not working!it takes photos but i cannot see the preview... i must reflash the rom again and flash the downgraded sbf?
hey guys i did this method for root the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
i could install CM7.2 , white rabbit etc but i tried with cm9 and nothing!
when i reboot it enters on bootmode with 4 errors!
i flashed the cm9 kernel and everything and nothing
what happens?
thank you!
You shouldn't have flashed cm9 kernel as stock gb kernel would have worked just fine.
Go back to your stock ROM with stock kernel and then flash cm9 again without flashing any kernel.
This method worked on my defy+ without any issues.
ohhh okay thank you!
i cant downgrade to my stock rom ,
it can be this one?
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf
i have now with cm7.2 kernel 2.6.32.9 ge281b6e [email protected] #1

Any stock ROM having Android version 2.3.4 or above will do. But it should have stock GB kernel. In my case I was on 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321 (Asia Retail firmware android 2.3.6) and my kernel version is 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e [email protected]#1
Use 1321...don't flash kernel and install cm9...works fine on my Defy+

If its not working, use Epsy's build.

I bought a used defy that had already been flashed and i don't like the rom.
The idea was to downgrade it to its original rom or change to another one directly.
But i couldn't find my CG version, how do i find it?
I have a green defy, which rom can i flash?
Can i do it directly or i have to do the downgrade?
My phone:
- android version: 2.3.7
- System version: MIUI-203160
Thx!
Since you have MIUI I think you got Gingerbread kernal

Thank you all for answering!
But, i'd like to know if i should do the downgrade or flash other rom directly?
And, what rom should i flash?
Try to flash a Froyo, maybe a deblurred one... If it works, you have a cg4 bootloader. If not, you have a newer bootloader and downgrade is more difficult.
After flashing Froyo, i advise to install CM7. Maybe you like that.

Dear Defy+ Professionals,
I consider myself a beginner, but I could always solve everything with your detailed instructions. Till now. I can't find anything which is referring to my problem:
I used my MB526 with Quarx's CM7 versions for 1,5 years, then tried to flash CM10. It crashed after a few days, it got into bootload errors actually I had to flash a new SBF on it. It's details:
System version
45.0.2310.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
Model Number
MB526
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband Version
EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel version
[email protected] #1
Build number
4.5.1-134_DFP-231
I would like to get back to the good old CM7 that I used before, I have no problems with rooting and installing CWM Recovery, but when I try to flash the CM7.2, it always end up with bootloader error (I always do the data/cache/Dalvik cache wipes, when it's needed, even formatted the SD card)
Do you have any ideas what should I try? Maybe try to downgrade for a BL5 or BL6 version and then root and flash?
Thanks in advance!
Try using aroma full wiper and fully wipe everything, then try installing. Do not install any kernel after cm7.2 flash.

If you're getting bootloader error, you must be flashing the wrong zip. Use defy plus version since you're on bl7
