Hi All,
I am one of the victims who mistakenly flashed defy+ sbf on a normal defy with green lens. It was bricked for quite some time and then later magically one day DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1 134_DFP-231 SBF worked. Now the phone (orginally MB525) only accepts custom ROMS made for MB526 with camera not working. the message i get is "Can't connect to camera". Recently i tried Quarx build made for MB526 (4.1.2) and suprisingly my camera was working fine. The only problem i was having is my phone would not give me a ringtone music when a call comes and the moment i make a call the screen goes off. It will only come back ON when the other party disconnects. Sometimes that will also not happen and i will have to totally restart my phone (i am guessing the sensors are also not working). For some time I tried using option in Accessability saying power button ends call. Volume rocker turn of doesnt work.
Finally, now i am using a WakJIUI Rom based on GB. Everything works perfectly except for camera and sensor. I have a workaround of sensor where i can choose not to have the screen turned off while on call and volume rocker key works like a charm.
Now, the reason why i started this thread is a vauge idea came to me where i am thinking of having a WakJIUI Rom as stable and use Quarks 4.1.2 build as second boot. I have no idea how to use dual boot. i have read forums but they are confusing.
Anybody who can help...
You cannot dual boot Quarx's CM10.
You can flash Quarx's CM10 and Jelly X kernel to fix ringtone bug, and to fix proximity issue there is an option for "Inaccurate proximity sensor" in Settings > Display under CM10
You can try to fix proximity sensor issue, watch the following video: http://youtu.be/uMk1S90MjbY

Thanks for the insight. One question again : In past when i tried flashing kernal of CM7 and CM9 my phone gets into soft brick mode. where i again have to flash the sbf i mentioned above. i am guessing thats because these kernals are made for MB525. Now that my phone identifies itself as MB526 will this jelly X kernal work....

no, no need to flash any sbf, because it's 2nd-boot
Flash rom, flash gapps, flash jellyx
if you get black screen after bootmenu pull the battery and restart

Thanks for the advise man. I did complete data wipe and cache partition. Flashed the Jelly X Kernal, then installed the sister JB. My camera is working fine. Ringtone issue fixed and also thanks to that video maker, my proximity sensor issue is also resolved.

As some members are not able to post into Dev forum I am opening this thread in order of getting feedback from you. Please note that the original post are on Dev forum because the ROM is not yet fully ported. Consider yourselves as beta testers
Original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16749947#post16749947
As usual I won't hold any responsibility to any damages it may cause to your phone.
Thanks to Endless7 for research on this subject. Great work!
Thanks to dangpzanco and walter79 for support and ideas.
This is a simplified method of installing MIUI into Milestone2 devices. This ROM is based on Defy's WajkIUI 1.8.12 - MULTiLanguage. It's still a experimental port so not everything is working fine. With this package you DON'T need to flash any SBF into your phone.
Requirements:
- Froyo or GB rooted phone.
- CWM Recovery 3.0+. You can get it here.
Installation:
- Download update.zip to your sdcard.
- Boot into CWM Recovery
- Apply update.zip
- Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/battery stats
- Reboot.
Working:
1. Compass.
2. Sensors.
3. LED.
4. CWM Recovery
5. Device Keyboard
Not working:
1. Virtual keyboard half size.
2. ALT LOCK key from keyboard ( you can double press ALT instead of ALT LOCK )
3. Media HW play, only support .MP4 hardware decoding
4. keyboard backlight is not working
Please, report any problems you found so I and the other may try to fix it.

Blur is only on Moto official ROM. CM7 and MIUI are 3rd-party ROM, you will never see blur on them.

Backup and flash with your factory ROM
Hi,
The best option for you to do is to Backup all the SMS, Contacts and Application data and then flash your phone with the factory build ROM that came in with your DEFY.
Here is the list of ROMS for Defy variants---http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Go through this link and get your ROM do a MD5 check to double check if the downloaded version is correct. Then flash your phone with that ROM. By doing this you would have the warranty of ur device intact (If your defy is still within the warranty period).:good:
Then finally restore all your backups. :angel:
You may be tempted to upgrade your ROM to the newest SBF like ICS or JellyBeans. while doing so please make sure that that particular SBF is fixed SBF and not full SBF. the difference btwn the 2 is. Fixed SBF allows you to downgrade your DEFY but full SBF only lets you upgrade the version but never downgrade.
If you can understand this then go ahead and search for that perfect match for your DEFY.
Cheers,
Vic
Thanks a lot

I have the same problem, and the exact same button
I think the led behind that button is not working anymore...
Try to install the CM as indicated in the topics (respect the steps). Do it from begining carefully (flash the stock ROM).

If I understood right you wanna install CM7.2. For that to work is good that after flashing stock ROM and installing 2ndinit to reboot and from stable recovery to format data/cache and dalvik on ext3 followed by flashing custom CM7.2 (I suggest you to try another CM7.2 mod).

I didn't messed with buttons lights, and still got 3 burned LEDs. The first to go was "search". A month after that, the "menu" button went dark. Now the "back" is gone too. Just "home" remains with light. I don't think it's a software issue... More likely a project flaw or bad manufacturing (I still use CM7, no tweaks).
Last week I also got a "stain" (a lot of bad pixels) on the center of the screen. Just turned the phone off and put it in the freezer for 12 hours. After that, it was new again (lucky me). Yeah, the famous trick works folks (unfortunally, not for the capacitive LEDs though).

I'm inclined to agree. It seems fairly common. My menu button LED failed when my Defy+ was around 6 months old and completely stock. I put it down to a hardware failure.
Time for me to claim the Warranty
I will unroot the device and will claim the warranty...!! :good: But only problem is I have to wait untill the device returns back and have to use that ****sung again sorry Typo Samsung* :crying:
Hi, i found a problem in my defy that annoying me ...when making several phone calls or receiving ones suddenly a message appears that thers is a problem with telephony layer and the device has to reboot after 40 sec ...i`m tried to delete the programs that kill applications at expense of ram memory ...installed latest miui build and tried to call a free number about 30 times ..no hanging up happened..but the problem comes after several days of using defy and i tried this build for some hours...i`m very satisfied with Cherry Picks Un-official CM-7.2.0-RC0 when rebooting happens...is there something wrong about the device itself or about the cm7.2 build .or about the base band of the carrier or what? thanks
You have nothing to do is a bug in Motorola RIL.

this problem has appeared lately ..after 1.5 year of having defy ...!!! there must be something new leads to this bug...i think ..it`s a software issue
the same froyo kernel 2.2.2 didn`t change..while the one is kept up to date with new builds of cm.7.2 when the problem appeared 2 months ago ..
yesterday i installed Pikachu Edition 2.Xz the bug disappeared ..when back to cm7.2 with the same trials of dialing the bug back again ..
what do u think?
This bug I think it's a hardware bug.
I installed many Rom's but no change. But you can try with the one that you think is not making you problems but for more than a day you should test it.
For me this bug sometimes(very rare) is not showing for a couple of weeks.

Trust me, none of this is working.
Wiping caches doesn't help I have wiped them from 10.2012 till now thousands of times.
Baseband change is working for a short period of time.
Changing SIM card not working as I have changed 3 times till now.

Even the stock Rom had three reboot problem the only difference is that is not showing you the message.

i too have just got this problem. i just got a 850/2100 asia retail defy+ mb526, that is distinct from my original 900/2100 europe model visually in that this new one has silver buttons, battery cover slide, and case screws.
anyway, never had the trouble in my old one, yet tried plenty of roms, this new one i dont know if it did it to begin with as i rooted it straight away, but since then ive tried cn & eu / rooted and not sbf's and cm version 7, 9 & 10 & various baseband options but always get the "telephony layer problem, will restart" every 10-20 mins or so.
however on cm9 it doesnt popup and ask to reboot, it just appears to restart the telephony layer, as you see it go off 3g, then show no signal, than reconnect back up again. so i will stick with this rom for now, as it means less down time rebooting.
out of curiosity is there any logs that can be read or generated that would mention the error ?
im sure this has been looked into though, still no solutions ?
