[Q] I want to downgrade from this rom.

First, I'm sorry about my bad English.
I had troble when I applied CM9 12/7 Rom, so I restored from clockworkmod recovery, but it doesn't work!
That's why I have been flashed SBFs till now.
And I could boot my defy, but I noticed that I applied some weird Rom.
It is

....
What can I do?
I want to use CM7/MIUI or some other roms
Help me.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143
i didn't try it, just found it in the forum

im on the same boat.
did it work?

Look in the cm9 bug report thread I'm sure there are links and instructions for it. You have to flash cm7 kernel then do nandroid or reflash cm7.

I cant quiete figure out what you're trying to tell me Oo
so i guess you can downgrade from cm9 to ms2ginger but not to cm7? oO
im currentliy switching a lot between cm9 and cm7 so you should just go into cwm and wipe everything, install cm7 wipe again and thats it...
i dont know if you really have to wiupe twice, but thats the way i do it and it works perfectly

please post a link to the cm7 you were using. i'm thinking you used the wrong gapps. cm9's gapps doesn't work for cm7. you need to use the gapps for cm7. usually you can get cm7 gapps from the link in the first post of cm7 thread. like here:

go down to the bottom of the first post and click on "latest google apps".

[Q]How to install CM7.2 on Defy

I'm currently on the latest CM7.1 nightly but when I tried to flash the cm7.2 nightlies which are for the defy+, I got stuck at the M logo. I then flashed my old 7.1 and now it's working again. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Also, I didn't erase data, just cache.

I think that's because defy+ uses another kernel , so when you flash cm7.2 you still having froyo kernel , i think if you flash the cm9 kernel over cm7.2 it will work! But i 'm not sure
Motorola Defy CM7.1-11 OC 1GHz

Can you link me to both cm7 and cm9 kernels?

I packed the two different kernels into clockwork flashable packages.
1. Flash either a nightly or restore a nandroid.
2. Flash either CM7_Kernel-signed.zip or CM9_Kernel-signed.zip; depending on what you've installed.
3. Reboot.
CM7_Kernel-signed.zip
CM9_Kernel-signed.zip

I tried those .Zips and they didnt work for me.
What I ended doing is restoring Boot/devtree using CWM from a Walter 2.3.6 rom and it worked

Let me get this right, first I need to flash CM7.2 and then I need to restore boot and devtree?
EDIT: Thanks leonardojegigzem. It worked!

CM72 for DEFY+ didn't get camera working for now.

Any idea when it'll be fixed or if it'll ever be fixed?

Why don't you try the CM7.2 Nightlys for Defy and not for the +?

Yeah i just noticed no camera, went to take an amazing pic and it did not work
Sucks, because this ROM is really good.

I guess because the ones for Defy+ are more recent. Newer = better.

The camera works with the cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ nightly - of course red-lense only. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20267108&postcount=14484 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580

You should try CM7.2 rom for the device you possess i.e. Defy. :good:

Just install cm7.2 for defy (not +). If you want to flash the defy+ version, you will have to install gb kernel and battery fix.

Best MIUI ROM for defy: MIUI Pikachu edition!
If you have froyo cm7 (sounds like it because you have green lense defy) you can just do the normal wipes (data, cache, dalvik) and flash. If you flash Pikachu edition, data will be wiped automaticaly

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
try wiui 2.3.16 stable..its pretty fast and based on miui..
but i like cm7 the speed is incomparable...and plays 720p videos like a Ferrari lol

MIUI 2.3.16 :FTW:
very stable - plenty fast & usually updated every week ^^

MIUI are beautiful，but I didn't like it

Sure. Make a Back-Up in CWM (Recovery). It's easy to recover your system there without re-installing apps/contacts or stuff like that. Just Go in CWM --> Backup & Restore -->Backup (all).
If u want to restore Later: same way. CWM --Y Backup and restore --> Restore (system & data).

Thanx buddy...
I was jus afraid as I read somewhere dat u can't switch back to cm after flashing miui...
Can u plz send me the link to latest version of miui??

WIUI 2.3.16

Seems to be an old Quarx build but does not specify for which kind of defy (Defy green, Defy Red or Defy+) neither which kernel it uses.
I would suggest to wipe data, cache and dalvic-cache from recovery and try again.
If you upgraded from Froyo to CM9 GB version the problem is that you have tho flash the kernel too.
Please follow this post since it is updated and you will find further support.

thanks alot mate i tried what you said but sadly it didnt work i apprciate your help though

[Q] Help installing Maniac cm7.2 on defy+

Hey guys, i tried installing CM7.2 by maniac on my defy+ sometime earlier, and had problems passing, cyanogenmod logo.
I cleared all dalvik and cache but still nothing.
Steps:
- Cleared all partitions an cache.
- Installed rom, then cleared cache and dalvik
- installed gaaps, then cleared cache and dalvik
- Rebooted and now stuck.
Hope for some quick help...

I guess like me u too come from cm10 2ndBoot Roms. I had the same issue, suggest u to flash sbf before your battery dies.
