[Q] [Help] Green lenses and GB Kernel

With the last gingerbread kernel (android 2.3.6) i dont found way to the cam works. Anyone knows how to make it? downgrade to froyo/GB 2.3.4, a new Green Bread Mod.... something that the people who has flashed the gb kernel by error can fx it.
Sorry for my english.

Stock camera app wont work. try lgcamera

I already tried it. Don't works.

DONT downgrade to 2.3.4, youll brick your phone! green lens wont work on gb (2.3) kernels, because official gb roms are for defy+, and defy+ has red lens, so the green lens module is excluded from the kernel. but as far as i know, epsylon3 is working on a cam driver.

I have tried differents methods to dowgrade but anyone has bricked the phone, i only reflash 2.3.6 sbf. would you tell me where i can find about epsylon3 work? Thanks very much.

[Q] help to summarize things up (Lens color, Stock Roms, Custom Roms, and so on)

Hi
i read and read and also read a lot of posts here and thank you every one for for every thing...
but i m little bit confused...
I will put some questions that will help to summarize things up:
who know please help with these questions:
1-if i have defy (whether it with red or green lens) can i flash any full SBF except the Gingerbread SBF?
2-if if i have defy (whether it with red or green lens) can i flash any fixed SBF except the Gingerbread SBF?
3-if i have defy (whether it with red or green lens) can i flash any custom Rom?
4-if i have defy (with red lens) and i flash a rom that is just for green lens will i brick my device (or vice versa)?
5-what is the worse thing that will happen if i flash a rom (stock or custom) that is for defy's with green lens on a defy with red lens (or vice versa)?
6-if i flash a rom (stock or custom) that is for defy's with green lens on a defy with red lens (or vice versa)then just i can't record 720p videos or it will damage my camera if i try to use it ? or it will damage the camera flash or what exactly?
thank you

1: you can flash any sbf, but if you flash gingerbread, you wont be able to downgrade to froyo, and if you have green lens, you wont be able to use your camera with a stock rom. if you flash a 2.3.6 sbf, you wont even be able to downgrade to 2.3.4
2: you can flash any sbf (even 2.3.4 gb ones), and you'll have the downgradeability, but you wont have it with the 2.3.6 ones.
3: of course you can, but only with 2nd init, not with rsd lite.
4: no, you wont brick it, you just simply wont be able to use the camera.
5: if you mean defy rom on a defy+, you will brick your phone. but the defy roms support both lenses.
6: the only thing that can damage your flash is flashing me525 (chinese defy) on your mb525 ('normal' defy). as far as i know, nothing can damage your camera.
hope this helps.

zakoo2 You are great...
thank you very very very much

[Q] Full SBF MB526 on Defy Green lens! Help !!!

I accidently installed full sbf ( sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P022_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF.sbf.gz[/url] )with RSD Lite for Defy Plus on my Defy with green lens. Can someone tell me please how to get back to original android MB525 for a Defy green lens cos now i have MB526 . My camera does not work. I can not install any custom room because ewerytime when i do all the ''wipes cache'' an error occurs ''E: Can't open ...''
android to 2.3.5 , kernel 2.6.32.9 , build number 4.5.
Can someone help me please !
THX

Try this:
Bootloader 6 and Froyo SBF
This SBF will fix your problem. The warranty of your device may gone, but this SBF works for you. You can flash every Custom-ROM for the defy you want, with it.
EDIT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731 is the adress of the link. I am a little bit surprised about it, that the first doesnt work.

Your link do not work. Can you send it to me much more info about this please.

Thank you very much. It really works Cheers !

[Q] want to restore my defy back to cyanogenmod

HI ... i did a terrible mistake on my defy ..... It was having some stability issues on cyanogenmod 9 and so I thought lets flash the stick froyo on it and redo everything .... but due to my carelessness by mistake i had flashed defy plus sbf on it .... the build is 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321 with android version 2.3.6 .. now I am having many problems like camera is not working, touch screen sensitivity is not good ...
things I tried ....
I refered to all in one defy beginners guide .... that has two methods to fix this kind of problem .. but both were not useful .the phone does not boot after flashing the provided sbf file .
I am able to install recovery on it and restore to nandroid back up but i think due to kernels mismatch the issues remain same ...
When from recovery i tried to install CM 7 and did flash its kernel too .... the phone will not boot ...
Please help I am not in a budget to buy a new phone and I love my defy very much ... Any help and guidance is truly appreciated.....Thanks

i had a problem not exactly like this, but had solved in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100
it's a cm9 rom and is very smooth and stable.
since then it's working fine.

hey ... i tried this .. but still i am having camera and touchscreen problems .... IS there any sbf for defy with 2.3.6 version as only this can my current version on defy ...
thanks

You are on Bootloader version 6 now. You can only be saved by flashing a bl6 rom for the "defy" not defy+. Or any other rom for Defy which has bootloader version 6.
if you are able to enable android debugging and root + install 2ndinit (considering your touch screen works a little bit to your command ) you can directly flash CM9 rom.
Root first, 2ndinit, then install CWM and flash froyo kernal after flashing the CM9 or CMX zip. (According to my little knowledge, Epsylon's build comes with froyo kernel already)
Considering your touchscreen is totally abrupt and non-responsive and you are unable to root using it. You can flash bl6 froyo rom for your green lense defy.
Follow this thread for downgrading the build version + kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731
DO NOT USE THE FROYO ROM IN THE THREAD AS REGULAR. (DON'T USE THE CAMERA WHEN USING THE ROM IN THE THREAD OR YOU MIGHT GET YOUR CAMERA LED PERMANENTLY BURNT). JUST USE IT TO ROOT + 2NDINIT + CM9

Its not the android version. Its Bootloader version that prevents you from downgrading.

[Q] Camera works for green lense defy who have flashed defy plus full sbf

:laugh:
Great News for those green lense defy (mb525) owners like me who have accidentally flashed full defy plus sbf & they were on bl7.
Root ur Cell & use Quarks IInd boot defy rom with custom kernels..
You will find your camera live & working fine.. ( my camera was not working since last 1 month after i flashed full defy plus sbf )
No problem with charging battery at all... Full Credit goes to Quarks.............:good:
Dear Dev....
Now as kernels have been changed can we flashed roms for which 2.2 is req as base version ??
Or we will be able to flash 2.2 Nandroid Back up???
