Dear forum friends. The M525 was my defy but did an update of a rom. it's now become forever m526 defy (defy +). I know that my defy not be back more defy525. I know that I can only put roms for defy +. my defy is rooted, everything ok, I install android 2.3.7 rom type Whiterabbitnextgen Edition 2.1.1 [Custom] [2.3.7] Cyanogenmod 7.2 [Custom] [2.3.7] 3.1.27 Wiui among others, it runs a beauty, also notice that the startup device, see the sequence of lights and blue then green. okay. Now comes the problem, when I install roms androids from version 4, I see that the sequence of lights in the boot, first blue then red, realize that there is something wrong in this red light. Installed rom android 4, the rom works fine but when I want to go back to 2.3.7 rom, the device installs and not to solve this problem, I have to use RSD Lite SBF with the following: First-DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1 134_DFP -231 and then DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed it back to normal with the lights boot blue and then green. Is how I explain it and do not understand that a lot of KERNEL I see in many roms. hugs to all.
About the color leds .....
* firstly blue and then green means that the rom is sndinit and it is using original motorola kernels
* firstly blue and then red means that the rom is Second boot with custom kernel so it means you nedn't to instal any kernel.

I am not an expert, but you must provide better info to get good reply.
1. you say "bought it with Android 2.5.6" but there is no 2.5.6 !
I guess this was a simple typo but we can not be sure what you really mean!
2.3.6 ? what SBF build ? you can find that in phone info!
2. CM7.1 was developed primarily for defy, not defy+, that's why it now says MB525 on your device.
3. "When I try to flash ROM for DEFY+..." be specific: what defy+ rom ???
4. What build of cm7.1 did you install ? and what Kernel does it use now ?
perhaps you get kernel mismatch error when changing rom..
Go to info on you phone and find out + post complete screencap or something like this:
System Version: 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE
Model number: MB526
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.32.9-gbad50c3
[email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-74
That will make it possible for someone on forum to give good advice!
Haha its very simple. Its all written in the build.prop
You can name your phone a gs2 or even a prada lol. Nothing to worry.
Use rom toolbox or something to change the build.prop

Hi there! First of all your phone is not bricked. You should first try to get in the recovery menu by pressing one of the volume buttons when the sensor is having a blue color. From there, if you can access the menu please do a full data wipe\factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and then try to install the newest version of CM9 based on your phone model (defy or defy+) with the corresponding kernel and rom.
However, if you can't access the recovery menu, then restart your phone and hold the power button + volume down till a black screen with white text appears. Afterwards, connect your phone to your PC through USB cable (make sure you have enough battery left and doesn't die in the process) start RSD Lite load the sbf file and install it. Hope my answer helps, if so, hit thanks . Good luck !
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?

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
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.
: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???
Hello guys.
I did something with my Defy, tried to use some custom ROMs and guess I [email protected] up my phone...
Now I have to use this SBF:
Code:
SBF DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTDE004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTDACH_P018_A019_M002_HWp3_WIG148149_Service1FF
cause the original (SBF RETAIL 2.2.1 FROYO) don't work... I try to use RSD Lite but black screen & white led.
Just the SBF I posted here works.
I kinda like it, the problem is that its ENGLISH. I want a Brazilian one. (portuguese)
What can I do? What are my options? Am I stuck to this SBF?
Thanks!
You're now got stuck to this SBF forever, from now on when you want to back to "Stock", use that "DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132" only.
But this one wasn't that bad, you can still root it easy with "SuperOneClick" and install a custom roms to fix your battery, camera, language and such.
If your camera still work, that's mean you have Defy mb525 Bayer lens (with stock MB526 rom inside), so I suggest this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
Install this MS2ginger the way Defy+ would do (but don't install "Defy+battery.zip", just finish at "restore system" and you're good to go.)
It contain so many language, Brazilian should be there.
If your camara doesn't work anymore, that means your have Soc lens, which won't work on GB kernel...so this is your last hope, a "Custom kernel" rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
