[Q] Think i killed my defy by flashing Defy+ sbf..Help me!

Hi
i was on cm 7.2 nightly with the old kernel...i then wanted to flash blur 2.3.6 Defy+ full sbf cause i dont wanna downgrade anymore....but now i am screwed...
after flashing i get Bootloader screen again...showing
09.10
Err: A5,69,35,00,27
Batt Ok
Ok to program
Transfermode
USB
I tried the steps in the dev section with flashing a special sbf with cg 5 in it but hat didnt work either... all i get now is a phone thats boots in bootlaoder and shows error message... no way to get into recovery mode...
I know it was stupid not to flash a clean 2.2 before doing this...
Please is there anything that can be done or is my phone gone for good...
Trying older sbf dont work either...just black screen....

Probably the one you tried was just corrupted hehe, good to see you got it sorted.
And yeah, the special Eclair SBF wont work since all these new Defy+ Roms come with CG6, and that one is CG5.

Hi, ace, I had a 2.3.6 Defy+ and got screwed too, by flashing a 2.3.4 custom ROM without being aware of the locked bootloader / no-downgrade lock.
Please, where did you find stock ROM / sbf file for 2.3.6 Defy+ ? I need it but can't find it
EDIT: nvm. I found it myself =)

Hi guys, apologies for flooding other threads as well
I'm having the same error on bootloader. i've tried flashing several Stock SBF files from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php but still stucked on the same error in bootloader. Please help

You need not downgrade! Just download nandroid back up of MS2ginger 2.1. Boot into recovery, full data wipe/cache, davik, and restore system+data,boot,devtree and recovery. !! Reboot !!
To upgrade to MS2ginger 3.0, boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and restore system only.

No You cant install it directly. Because it contains only system partition and is meant for upgrade from 2.1.
Install 2.1 first then 3.0 system partition restore.. Just an additional step.

really confusing~
by the way, my defy is green lens

any other opinion?

I installed it directly from cm7. In the original release thread there is no word about downgrading it first to 2.1 . Now my Defy is bricked

Alright you realy have to install 2.1 first. Works for me now.

what version of cm7 do u installed, would it be the bootloader problem?
your 2.1 means android2.1 or ms2ginger2.1??
my cm7 is stable version with 179 kernel
Now i am more hesitating...
i send a pm to walter... but no respond...

Actually the whole ms2ginger flashing is explained in complicated manner in official thread as well as everywhere..it would be very helpful if someone posted noob step by step guide for noobs like us..just like there was noob guide for cm7..please can anyone take the initiative? ..u can keep it short, but keep it simple

Don't worry, walter doesn't respond to my PMs about DFP-188 and DFP-231 either.
Do you have kernel from 2.2 rom or 2.3 rom?
Oh and btw tell me your cwm version that you have right now in cm7. If you have v4.x.x.x, you cannot change directly to ms2ginger. If you have v5.x.x.x it should work fine.

Hi.
I am currently on android 2.3.6 ROM ( nandriod backup) by adi4motion. my defy has green lens. can someone explain how to install walter rom on greenlens defy. I tried to read many times but its very confusing to understand for someone like me...
Any help would be appreciated.

when i wanted to go from miui to ms2ginger it didnt work but after i flasht an original rom and then ms2ginger it worked like a charm - so i think thats the best way if something doesnt work

Steps to install on greenlens defy?????

For greens lens defy there is a room called GGL ROM and its based on Walters 4.5.1-134dfp 231 sbf
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App

Out of following sbf from walter folder, which one should I use? (I m on CM7 satble froyo 2.2 kernel) (Green lens Defy)
3.4.2-179-froyo-fixed-sbf.sbf
4.5.1-134-DFP_132-fixed.sbf
4.5.2-109-DHT-22-fixed.sbf

I m also on same ROM and now want to install MS2Ginger. Can I directly restore nanodroid backup via CWM? will it work?

Installed
Finally after 2 days, thrice flashing full SBF, I was able to install ms2ginger
here, what I did? (specifically for Defy with green lens)
1. Flashed full SBF (froyo kernel)
2. Installed Pikachu Edition 2.2.10
3. went to CWM and followed all the instruction given in MS2Ginger - Android 2.3.6 thread
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Latest or Stable or Custom Recovery"
"wipe data and cache"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Advance Restore"
Select "MS2Ginger3.0"
"restore system"
Go to "install zip from sdcard"
"Install "MS2Ginger-Greenbread.zip" via install zip" (only for defy with "green" soc camera and froyo kernel)
reboot.
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
Go to "System"
Go to "Overclock"
increase VSel3 to 58 (GREENBREADMOD-froyo kernel installed)
reboot
Booting up can take a while, max is about 10 minutes.
Charge your phone to 100% and keep it charging for min 1.5 hour after.
Done

Do you flash defy or defy plus? since motoginger has gb kernel you have to flash defy + build or defy build together with latest froyo kernel.
Did you make a factory reset?

Please post whats steps did you performed?
Which Defy do you have Normal Defy or Defy+?
Did you wipe CAche and Dalvik Cache?
Which Kernel you were using?

Tell me what SBF you flashed.
And you said you have red lense and used froyo kernel. I guess that's why you have problems. You should have used GB kernel
You will need to follow this thread, first post strictly and put attention to where its written red lense and perform the correct actions.
But before that in order to get your phone up again you will need to flash some GB rom, but again, i need you to tell me which SBF's you flashed so far??

[Q] Downgrading Defy BL7

Dear All Good Evening,
I have green lense defy (MB 525). Accidently I have flashed defy plus full sbf ( probably non downgradable ). I have tried many 2.2 Froyo SBF roms but all nothing has been worked out for me. Now my defy is on sbf of defy plus in which Camera is not working, Although I am able to root BL 7 & I am on CM9. Is their any hope to either BL7 based froyo sbf or any method to downgrade from BL7.
Please Help.... And Best of Luck ....:good:

Hi, sorry noway. Motorola must open the bootloader but theu like to be stupid.

Try latest CMX with custom kernel - that may solve the camera problem. Battery charging is working for you?

It was astonishing for me, because I always thought, without changing the Kernel we never would be able to recognize the green lense. But with this CUSTOM ROM I can use my kamera like nothing happened. When you flash this Rom through CWM, be patient, when you reboot after flashing. It needs a long time to finish first booting. Just wait until you can see the regular Welcome screen.

Reflash stock bl7 sbf and rooted bl7 sbf. You can't downgrade due to eFuse which prevents you downgrading bootloaders. Then install Defy 2nd init 2.3 (latest version) and put Quarx CM 10 on the root of sd card.
