[Q] Can I flash Defy+ MB526 Firmware on a MB525?

I was wondering if I could flash this (UK version) Defy+ MB526 Firmware on a MB525 (red lens) without any problem?
Could someone be so kind as to share a little knowledge here?
Thanks in advance.

I flashed this full sbf and now no 3g and no market, trying to downgrade, hope to find and answer.

I dont think there is a downgrade after you flash full-sbf. we can only use cm9 and GB kernel roms after that.

you can not do that. Defy and Defy+ have locked bootloader that wont allow the downgrade. Still there is hope for your phone, your issues are quite solvable. You should root your phone, install baseband switcher for 3g, then install custom recovery and then flash google apps, all of this you can find it in the dev section.
If you ask there I would gladly help

u can flash ms2ginger, argentstone, CM7, CM9 but to install there u must root your phone, custom recovery...

[Q] Defy+ doesn't boot CM7 nightly roms

Hello,
I have installed CM7 for Defy(not plus) in my cellphone perfectly.
So then, I found the CM7 Defy+ nightlys and I'm trying to install it. But when I install the ROM on it and reboot, it stays in the initial logo forever.
Could you help me?
Best regards.

please help

Try another rom, like MUIU or any other rom and see if the start loop is overcome.

Did you wipe the memory after?

If you want to instal defy+ nighties, you first have to flash the gingerbread kernel. (CM9kernel.zip)
So now flash the stock ROM and start again. You probably downgraded to instal three normal defy nightly do you have to flash a defy+ ROM with the same bl nr. After that root instal 2nt... and flash the defy+ nightly (and wipe). If you want to be able to switch, you will have to flash the downgrade sbf again and flash the CM9 kernel. Then you can switch with just flashing the kernel and ROM (sbf wipe)

Do cm7 nightly have these fixes? I'm running nightly now and camera seems ok, but I don't know yet about the battery.

[Q] MB526 - cannot flash CM7.2 on 2.3.6 after trying CM10

Dear Defy+ Professionals,
I consider myself a beginner, but I could always solve everything with your detailed instructions. Till now. I can't find anything which is referring to my problem:
I used my MB526 with Quarx's CM7 versions for 1,5 years, then tried to flash CM10. It crashed after a few days, it got into bootload errors actually I had to flash a new SBF on it. It's details:
System version
45.0.2310.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
Model Number
MB526
Android version
2.3.6
Baseband Version
EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel version
[email protected] #1
Build number
4.5.1-134_DFP-231
I would like to get back to the good old CM7 that I used before, I have no problems with rooting and installing CWM Recovery, but when I try to flash the CM7.2, it always end up with bootloader error (I always do the data/cache/Dalvik cache wipes, when it's needed, even formatted the SD card)
Do you have any ideas what should I try? Maybe try to downgrade for a BL5 or BL6 version and then root and flash?
Thanks in advance!

Try using aroma full wiper and fully wipe everything, then try installing. Do not install any kernel after cm7.2 flash.

If you're getting bootloader error, you must be flashing the wrong zip. Use defy plus version since you're on bl7
