Hi folks
Yesterday I soft-bricked my Defy+
After a long and careful session of cursing every saint and patron I could think of, I managed to re-flash the whole thing ( mostly, thanks to this forum, so THANK YOU! )
Problem is, now I'm stuck with stock ROM, and from what I've heard since I cannot downgrade I can't install a custom ROM either
Before I proceed to try anyway and probably soft-brick again, can you tell me if there's anything I can do to remove my ****ty stock ROM?
I was using MIUI and it was totally awesome ( even if that's why I soft-bricked. ), so going back to MIUI would be perfect, trying CM would be pretty good as well ( but no CM9, I use my camera ), even MS2ginger which is basically semi stock would be fine, as long as I remove the stock.
My system version : 45.0.1320.MB526.O2.en.DE
Android Version : 2.3.6
Kernel version : 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e
Build number : 4.5.1-134_DFP-132
Thanks in advance!

Install cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ instead and install Camera.apk and overlay.omap.so from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580

Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
wipe data factory and cache partition and
install fresh Stock ROM for defy
then u know wht to do
@Leonardo
Thanks man, I'm going to try in the next days - I'm out for New year's even xD
Is this CM7, right? So Camera works, not like CM9.. If the battery not fully charging is the only problem I'm definitely going to install Cyan, Stock Rom just plainly sucks.
@Illumanati
uhm.. what do you mean? that's what I did to recover my soft bricked Defy, I already mount a Stock ROM, why should I wipe and re-install it?
Yes, i think the camera must work, in a red lense defy works replacing Camera.apk and overlay.omap.so, so i think in defy+ too!
PS: Has your defy+ a red lense??

looking at ms2ginger thread it seems pretty straight forward to install this rom.
just make sure you download the correct ms2ginger 2.1 file for defy+. wipe everything and then use nandroid restore method to restore system and data, and advanced restore to restore boot, devtree and recovery. reboot and you're done.
from what i've read, miui doesn't work with gb kernel. so unless some devs come up with new roms or nandroid backup that does, you might be out of luck for now.

Nightly still has battery issues on the Defy+ aint it?
But when I was on 2,3,4 miui worked, I still had GB kernel right? XD it doesn't work on 2.3.6, I tried, it goes bootloop, but unless I am misunderstanding something it's not strictly about the gb kernel

Or maybe defy+ stock 2,3,4 is not GB?

i think you're right. could have something to do with cg version?
2.3.4 cg version is 5, whereas 2.3.6 is 6.

I wish I knew .___. it sucks to be stuck with Moto stock ( whoa, it almost rhymes )
Maybe flashing 2.3.4 Kernel from CM9 via CWM MIUI works!
I'm going to try to flash MS2ginger 2.1 over 2.3.6, and if it goes I'll try the 3.0 as well
wish me luck! I'll post everything will happen, so other ppl in my situation can benefit
p.s. after a lot of searching on chinese MIUI forum and stuff, and after consequential blood tears over the poorly translated english of Google translator, I can officially say latest MIUI releases run on 2.3.4 Kernel
So Froyo is NOT required, and 2.3.6 is NOT supported as we speak

Very good, MS2ginger 2.1 totally works even on 2.3.6, the firmware of doom xD
If anyone on the 3d answers me, I'm going to try to upgrade to 3.0
Hope I'm doing some good for other ppl in my situation ^^ and not just spamming and flooding xD
Hi everyone
I made a mistake by installing CM7 to defy (mb525) on my defy + (mb526)
With this rom my motorola is a recognized defy (mb525) in the settings, it still uses all its capacity? What is changing?
How to submit an original rom defy + (mb526)?
I can then put the right to defy CM7 + (mb526)?
It is not unlocked, locked SFR (France), and I have not seen sfb SFR it does not matter to put one another?
Sorry for my English ... it is the automatic translator
thank you very much
Up please help me
What Cyanogen build did you use?
I suggest this version, it hasn't got any bugs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445259
It shows MB526(I think it's written in the bluid.prop)
Use the ROM sugested by Mister-Samossa or the last nighty whith those patchs.
I'm using the cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+ with the patchs and it works very well: no FCs, camera works properly, battery life is good (2-3 days), charged until 100% and no gaps when discharging.
i'am in test this rom,but patch whit install ?? thank for reply !!
Do you need a new SBF to flash these, or can I just go from stock 2.3.5?
edit: I can just go from stock, it only requires a GB kernel, which my stock has.

You must install the patchs from [] AL [] using recovery->Install zip if you want a working camera and that battery can charge to 100%

You don´t need to flash any other SBF. I installed it over the stock 2.3.5 rooted.

Thanks, running it now, and very happy with it.
I am currently trying to get full battery of my defy+ to work under MIUI. Being CM based i assumed it would work with the CM battery patch. It doesn't however. I know which files need to be replaced, would it be a good idea to just grab the files from the CM9 defy+ build and replace them?
For those that are interested doesn't work = battery only showing full with question mark icon.
Having same problem and seems there is total silence in all forums concerning this issue. If you manage to solve it please let me know !
Hey, guys I'm using MIUI Pikachu Edition by einsteinno1 and it has full DEFY+ support (battery charges up to 100%)
It's overall an awesome ROM, after trying CM7.2, latest WIUI and MS2G v3, Pikachu is the best one for me.
My DEFY+ was on 2.3.5, so I flashed it down to Froyo before flashing Pikachu
Cheers!
I have the same Defy 2.3.5 but I don't know how to install a diffrent ROM/interface ...

Search this wonderful Forum - There are many threads telling you how to install a new ROM / interface
Well then I will definitely give Miui Pikachu edition a try As far as I understand Froyo version is the best to use to flash Miui right ?
Hi all,
About the Defy+ battery. This battery is only support by GB kernel. So nevermind the patch you applied, you'll always have a bad result. This patch works on CM 7.2 Defy + because this rom doesn't incluse the kernel and use the GB one of your phone.
So the only solution is what nisky+ said... Flash before the 2.3.6 SBF on the dev forum who allow you to flash a Froyo kernel first...

Froyo is the safest way, yes, and it will work without problems. It should work when flashed over 2.3.4, too, but I haven't tried that, myself.
@mdt24 Then how come I don't have battery problems now when Froyo's kernel is used
P.S. It's niksy, not nisky
Hi niksy ;-)
It's because I think this rom doesn't incluse kernel, so you always run a 2.3.4 GB Kernel...
quote from Miui Pikachu edition : IMPORANT!!! this Rom works only on Defy or Defy+ with Froyo Kernel or Gingerbread 2.3.4/5 Kernel. All with 2.3.6 Kernel have to downgrade to Froyo Kernel, because the new Motorola Kernel won't work with MIUI. Just use this Tutorial on XDA Developers
But I could be wrong in my deduction, so Please, can you give us the number of the kernel you have with this pikachu rom ?...
What I did before was downgrade from 2.3.6 using the sbf the dev provided that allows you to downgrade to froyo then I flashed Miui official rom and still had problems with battery. Kernel version currently is : 2.6.32.9gb08c3c8 if that makes any sense to you cause I personally just don't know anything bout kernels... I just downloaded pikachu Miui and will give a try soon and share the results with you
Hey all, thanks for the replies. I already know about the limitations of the patch and which versions the driver works with. That is why i flashed the 2.3.4 kernel before using MIUI and therefore the defy + patch. I just don't get why it doesn't work, do i need to use a defy+ kernel?
I will grab the files used in the working MIUI Defy+ rom and package them as a flashable .zip for other users.

Mate, you are right about the ROM, it doesn't include any kernel, but I said that I flashed that special version 6 Froyo (that's a full sbf) before flashing Pikachu!

The kernel you mentionned is a froyo kernel...
As you all I try to understand why it's possible that the defy+'s battery works or not with the patch. It's sure it works with a 2.3.6 GB kernel and a patch for the system (battd, lib) used by the rom if the new rom doesn't include a kernel.
It seems that if the rom include a froyo kernel the patch doesn't work...
So... may be a way to understand

Yes but I'm pretty sure than this special version has a GB kernel. It's just the bootloader who accept all kind of kernel...
Check your Kernel number, I think you must have something like this 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e...
Ok after some testing I can tell you that the battery charged to 100% only the first time I booted.Since then it has only charged till 90%. I also did calibrate the battery the first time I flashed the Rom but no results

It's 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 - the one you said it's Froyo Just checked!
And for the battery... First time it charged to 100%, this time it stuck at 90%. Quite weird... But, that is with Froyo kernel, as we've come to conclude.
But, on the other hand, my bro's got a DEFY+, too, with CM7.2 on it and with Gingerbread kernel (27th January DEFY+ nightly) and the battery goes to 100% every time. I will test Pikachu on a Gingerbread kernel, cause I can't really live with this bug :-/ Will let you know how it went, now I'm off to find a 2.3.4 sbf!
I had the same idea and have already downloaded a full 2.3.4 GB sbf to check just that !
i wish a 2.3.4 GB kernel can fix that, although I think the only kernel able to fix this is 2.3.5 and above
Hi.. I m new to android... I just want to ask how can I add music contol to notification toogle bar like that in cm mod..... I m using pikachu edition on my defy plus and its really great ... I haven't faced any problem till now.. thank u dev for such a beautiful rom...

Thanks for ur Info.. tried to install Pikachu edition on my Defy+ 2.3.6 nd failed. But now using CM10..
I'm a bit confused about "kernel" and does it mean SBF?
As I'm using a Defy, flashed a SBF to DHT-22 then upgraded to DHT-25 by OTA
what "kernel" I'm using? does it mean the SBF or the BL?
I saw some posts said that you need to flash "kernel" and there are 2.2 and 2.3 kernel. How can I identify the Kernel version? using the SBF or BL?
very confused!

If you have a defy then you can't recieve a dht 25 via ota.
but if it is a defy plus then you only you will recieve this update.
read this and this
btw if any where it is mentioned bootloader version(bl ver) then i am guessing its bl6 for you(dont have a defy to confirm and use search option on top for any other info

i dont know much about version all i know is that there are two kernels one is from gingerbread and other one is of froyo..
and since you have updated yours is a gingerbread kernel

How do I find the BL version?
Want froyo we can get flash with the froyo version of cm9 with partial hwa
search forr the last rom you installed(stock one on forums by searching for "defy dht XXXX"replace XXXX by the version code in the name of the stock rom and you might find the bl version..
but as a random guess most 2.3.4 versions are bl6 while all 2.3.6 are bl7.
but thats just a guess..

there is no such big difference as far as i remember except few optimization(battery)
and few lines of code..
