when installing CM9 to your defy is it the same process for flashing CM7 or is there a slight variation or something?
Now why would you open a new thread for this question?
i realised that i could've directly asked on the actual CM9 thread, only after i'd just posted this thread, sorry.
another weird thread

is there anything u want to see in this video that i missed explaining >?
The original thread was Dev based, about the ROM being released and how stable it is as released. This thread was noob based about how to flash said ROM and if it is different from another, very similar ROM.
Why clutter one thread when you can have two?
Anyway, to answer the question instead of of questioning the question, Yes the basic principle is the same. Once you have the System Recovery installed, it's a case of copying the CM9 zip file to your SD card and flashing the same as CM7, although the way I've personally done it is using Multiboot, so that I can normally use CM7 for "production" but can have a go and see how CM9 is progressing for a few minutes or so.

And to get back to CM7 from CM9, you only have to flash the CM7 zip?

Reboot and press vol- when you seen blue light. You'll be taken to the bootmenu. It's stated in there version of your current bootmenu.
And yes you need to change it speaking of compatibility..

Absolutely not. You don't need to mess around with bootmenu versions and other stuff. Just read the thread i pointed to above, it works, proven by people following it with succes, and no need to change bootmenus

I flashed stock full sbf 2.2.2
Rooted using superoneclick
Installed scndInitvs2.0 which gave an option of installing either 0.6.5 or 1.0.7 bootmenu. So chose 1.0.7
Rebooted a couple of times.
Did factory reset , cleared cache and cleared dalvik cache in that order.
applied 12-07 CM9 zip
and rebooted
but my phone is stuck on the M logo!
Thanks! As I want to try the Dec. 7 nightly just for testing purposes. Thanks again!

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

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

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?

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

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

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.
After downgrading back go gingerbread stock safe from overcome, I put CM9, gapps, and overcome kernel in root, as per directions.
I then went into recovery and installed CM9, however I can not see overcome kernel in there anywhere. Why is that so?

overcome kernel? are you installing cm9 or overcome? cm9 its ics, overcome is gb, why you looking for overcome kernel?? there is cm9 kernel for cm9 rom, it's totally different!!!
You read the instruction incorrectly.
After stock safe you must use odin to flash overcome kernel.
That will convert your partition to ext4 and give you cwm recovery.
Boot to recovery and flash cm9 rom then latest cm9 kernel, then gapps.
Btw: this should not be a new thread in dev section.
Mod, please move it. Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm currently running CNA 3.6.6 with the JellyX kernel (5-12 bfs) by Blechd0se. (Great combo, BTW :good
I would like to revert to the official CM7 builds because I admire the stability and battery life offered.
Now to my problem,
I know that I have to flash a froyo kernel in order to install CM7 successfully.
But on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100) it is mentioned Latest Froyo kernel by Epsylon3: 16 May 2012
Latest Froyo kernel by Quarx: 8 Mar 2012. I was not able to locate these kernels on the respective servers (quarx2k.ru and defy.wdscript.fr)
Moreover,these links are dead: CM7 (froyo) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM7_Kernel-signed.zip
CM9 (GB) Kernel http://m.cfa.aero/misc/CM9_Kernel-signed.zip
However, I was able to find this one (kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip) on epsylon3's sever. It is dated June 13 and so I'm assuming it is the latest and should work properly. So will it? I plan on flashing the 9-12 official nightly of CM7. Also I read somewhere that CM7 comes bundled with the kernel, so is flashing the kernel even neccessary? I have also seen a test CM7 kernel by blechd0se, does anyone recommend it for stable daily use and will it be compatible?
I plan to follow these steps in flashing, someone please please correct me if I'm wrong..
CM10 recovery-wipe data-wipe cache-wipe dalvik-install cm7-install gapps-install kernel-wipe cache-wipe dalvik.
Should the kernel be flashed before or after the ROM?
I'm trying my best not to be a n00b here (my first thread here, and you might notice I have just one post and zero thanks ), but I really am confused because on a different thread I read that flashing an SBF via RSD was the only way to do this , and I think this thread will help others who might like to go back to CM7 if they are facing issues with Jelly Bean. I have done my homework reading and am not posting without searching. So Any help will be greatly appreciated , and if I'm being a complete bumbling idiot, please feel free to tell me so. :silly:
Waiting for replies from the awesome folks at XDA,
Cheers and have a great day! :highfive:

PS: Off-topic, has anyone tried the V6 supercharger by zeppelinrox on our Defys (JB/ICS/GB) ? If you have, please share your experience I'm really curious, that's all

You're confusing 2ndboot kernels with regular kernel. No kernel flashing is required, because they do not interfere and/or replace each other(2ndboot custom and stock Motorola).
You're better off with the regular kernel(Motorola one), the test one(the one for cm7) is in early development.
You will have to convert data from ext4 to ext3 via boot menu. Select tools, file system tools and convert to ext3.
So, the process is: Convert to ext3, flash Rom(You may wipe system before this for good measure), boot the phone, reboot and flash gapps(you may flash it directly after the rom, but this method works for me)
EDIT: Flashing directly works(just tested) for quite a lot of combinations

i may add that you could either flash a stable cm7 + nightly bcs kernel is missing in the nightlies or you just flash one of maniacs... they come with a kernel and are the most cutting edge (the only cutting edge). good luck.
Again, the kernels above are 2ndboot and do not replace the stock; it's a misconception. So, either way the process remains the same; there is absolutely no need to flash anything else unless mentioned on the rom thread.

Okay..Thanks guys! XDA forums are really helpful And so quick to reply too!
On the ROM thread, they say flash froyo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654)
I'm not sure what they mean..
Do I need to change the default boot to 2ndinit as well?
And can someone elaborate on what differences can be found between the official CM7 nightlies and maniac's ones?
Cheers and have a great day!
No change, no nothing. I'm not really sure about maniac builds, perhaps they use the newer kernel(custom), whereas official uses stock Motorola
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21686557
Differences:
LTO download. (not sure if merged to official)
panic daemon against RIL bug
cant remember what else.
NO custom kernel yet
but things get merged to official sooner or later because maniac is an/the official maintainer for cm7-jordan.

thanks thekguy. i wasted half a day wondering if my defy had finally bricked and all it is was the ext4 causing the problem. with a quick google found this thread and your solution works perfectly. i only wished that they have sticky your solution as i'm sure many ppl are looking for it...
I do have a big problem. I followed all the steps (coming from latest nightly of CM10) with formatting to ext3 and the other steps. I tried to install CM7.2 and everything went well. But now I stuck at the Motorola Logo.
I even tried the sbf-flash but that didn't work because after RSD-Lite-Flash it stucks at rebooting. Anyone knows how to fix that?
And another problem is, that I cant charge my battery anymore :crying:

That didnt work. I tried to flash the sbf by Quarx (4.5.2-109-DHT-22-fixed.sbf) and RSD Lite says "Please manually powerup this phone". But the Defy stucks at the Motorola Logo (Blue and Green Light and the softkeys are flashing up).
PS. At least I managed to reinstall CM10 in 2nd-Boot and now can charge my phone
EDIT: Now I did all the steps again and installed CM7.2. But now I stuck not at the Motorola Logo but the Bootanimation is looping... It's strange but I dont get a confirmation that I wiped the Dalvik Cache successfully....
How about full sbf flash
Or try this:
Cm10 bootmenu format to ext3 and flash cm7 zip. Reboot and enter custom recovery and wipe data+ dalvik + cache

Hi everyone!
I am a happy user of CM10 on my defy from past 3-4 months I think, got no worries or not in a mad hurry to update since everything is working coolies for me. I just need a headsup about how can I be able to run 2ndboot builds of CM10? Right out of the box like just flash in recovery or do I need some specific medium installed first?
Thank You!
