[Q] Can i install MS2Ginger over CM7 ?

Hi there i had a problem 2 month ago installing 2endint on my defy anyway i installed CM7 using the custom recovery, now i have CWM installed so i was wonder if i can install MS2Ginger over CM7 thanks

I've not had success with it. I usually have to flash a Froyo SBF before going to a Gingerblur ROM.

i was able to install ms2 ginger over cm7 and again cm7

Yes, you can. However, after installing the CM7 zip, you need to flash this fixed sbf using RSD Lite.

what is this fixed sbf for ? and should i flashed it after i install MS2Ginger ? thanks

You wipe data in 2ndinit, boot into the flashing menu, flash fixed sbf, reboot phone ibto 2nd init recovery, advanced restore, boot, then system, then devtree, then data, then reboot

ok so this fixed SBF for CM7 in case i wanna come back from MS2Ginger to CM7 right ?

Yes, that's right. After you install the CM7 zip from clockworkmod, hold up button while rebooting and flash this fixed sbf using RSD Lite. Make sure you clear data and cache from clockworkmod after flashing the fixed sbf.

another question its maybe out of the thread but does it matter that i didnt use 2endinit to install CM7 or not ? coz i used custom recovery i mean is there any side effects ?

Yes, there could be some problems. You should install 2nd init, format data and cache, install CM7 and install the fixed sbf after that. Should work fine then.

[Q] help! umts_jordan nightly to ms2ginger 2.1

hello,
is it possible to switch from cm7.1-nightly to ms2ginger easily?
(cm7.1 is android v. 2.3.7 with kernel 2.32.9)
regards

Yes you can do that easily. The ms2Ginger thread has enough information on how to do that. I have switched twice from Cm7 to ms2g and vice versa.
In a nut shell just restore the manseoid back up of ms2g system, data, boot , dev tree and recovery. Before you do this just take nandroid backup of your current cm 7, which can be useful to switch back at later time if needed.

CM7.2 is for Defy+ which uses GB kernel.
You can either flash CM7 kernel if it works, otherwise go to advance restore and restore boot and devtree from MS2 nandroid.

I am searching for the instructions too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468867&page=2
Will work the ms2ginger with cg version 6?
Anyone?

I had managed to get working, with instruction in the ms2ginger topic
To begin:
Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk
REBOOT
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
wipe data and cache in "Stable/Custom - Recovery"
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Latest Recovery"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Restore" (system+data)
reboot.
Booting up can take a while, max is about 10 minutes.
THEN(if you want to try also the 3.0)
wipe data/cache/dalvik; Do an advanced recovery and only restore system and data from 3.0NG.

[Q] defy+ stuck on boot logo

Hi, i have defy+ (mb526)
android version: 2.3.7
kernell: 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8
cyanogenMod-7.1..0-jordan
Gingerbread GWK74
I want to flash CM 7.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445259) but after flash rom, I stuck on boot logo, i wait 30minut, reboot, wait, reboot... but without succes.

You must delete the user data of your previous rom first. Go to CWM Recovery and choose 'wipe data/factory reset'. This will remove all your user data (apps, app data, settings etc.) so you should have a backup if you want to keep the data!

i try this, but without succes. I'am still on boot logo (google) :-(

Dobre den,
There is something wrong in your phone setting : the kernel you mention in your first post (2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8) is a Froyo kernel and your phone (MB526) has a GB bootloader who only accept GB kernel...
So I think the best for you is to flash a full GB SBF via RSDLite before flashing the CM 7.2 Defy+.
Nashle...;-)

This has happened to me... A LOT. the way i fixed it was to redownload CM7 from the pc, because something went wrong the first time.

Your phone is a Defy or a Defy+ ? because I'm not sure you help a lot with this kind of answers.

Thanx, after flash ful SBF GB via RSDlite, everything is OK

I have q defy, however the filestructure is almost exactly the same and a fresh install of anything is the key (usually) to fix any problem... therefore I tend to ask them to do that before anything else

stuck on bootlogo
i have defy+ (stock 2.3.6 - 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321)
rooted & flashed Quarx's 3 Mach ICS CM9 nightly..
i tried to update that but i guess i flashed some wrong zip in recovery & phone showed some bootloader error..
so i flashed full sbf via RSDlite to return to my stock rom..after flashing is complete, rsdlite reboots my phone, phone is stuck on motorola bootlogo & rsdlite shows "please manually powerup this phone"..still connected to usb..even when i disconnect phone from usb, phone keeps rebooting & stuck on bootlogo..

update
clearing data/cache in stock recovery solved the problem..back on CM9

[Q] Defy+ don't boot, please help

Hi!
I have a Defy+ and I flashed a SBF with RSD Lite. After that I tried power on the phone, but it doesn't worked... only if I plug in the USB cabel (not the power cabel) then the white led light. I flashed some other SBF, but they are not worked.
Have you any idea?
Thanks

Since you are not sure about your previous ROM I suggest flash a 2.3.6 sbf. You can find them here:

Once you are done with flashing, boot to Android stock recovery and wipe data/cache. PM me if you want a SBF, I will give you the link

[Q]bootloader screen and SBF

Well, i just tried to install MIUI on my defy+ 2.3.5 and it's stuck on the bootloader screen with white text.
I have a question regarding SFB, never flashed them before. Which one can i flash so i can restore my phone with my old nandroid backup? read somewhere that the new sfb from motorola change the kernel and you can't downgrade so id rather ask before digging a bigger hole.

If you wat to install MIUI on your defy+ ( like me ), u need to flash the SBF in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731
After that u can root via Super one click and install 2nd int, then install miui easily.
If you want to switch back to old defy plus, you just need to flash a SBF with boot loader 6 ( bl6 ).
Note : don't flash SBF with Bl7, u cant root it, means u can do nothing custom to your Defy+

You should root your phone and install CWM and go with nandroid backup of your rom and install desired rom via CWM to keep downgrade ability for safe side.

I have a defy plus and I flashed it with the following full sbf: "4.5.1-134-DFP-1321 - retail-asia full Blur multilanguage". Everything works well.
Also remember to wipe data,cache after flashing sbf.
Here is how you do it:
1. After flashing completes shutdown phone.
2. Enter bootloader by pressing VOLUP key and simultaneously power button.
3. Then press both VOLUP and VOLDOWN
4. Wipe data/ factory reset.

What kind of message do you get?
Something like bootloader v9.10 ...

Yes, every defy+ has 9.10 boot loader, that's bl6 any way

Guys,
I'm facing the same problem.
Defy+ running 2.3.5 and everytime I try to install MIUI (STABLE or ICS BETA) I got stuck in motorola bootloader.
I've already installed the CM9 and everything worked just fine, but with MIUI i'm having this problem.
I flashed a stock rom again, installed 2ndinit 1.4, 2.0, 2.3.
Tried wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and so on.
Does anyone know what I should do to solve this?
Best regards.
