works on my 2.3. 6 defy+
I am currently using the latest CM7.2-Nightly for Defy+ with the camera and battery fix attached in that post. It is very, very stable and with the fix, the battery charges up to 100%.
Installation:
!!!Read all steps before you do them!!!
1. Copy the three files linked above and the CM7-Google-Apps to your SD-Card.
2. Root your defy. I used this method.
3. Install 2nd-init recovery:
3.1 Download the app SndInitDefy from here
3.2 Install and start the app. Press on "Install 2nd-init Recovery".
3.3 Choose "Latest Recovery"
3.4 Allow the superuser-request
4. If the LED is green now, you can reboot your Defy. Press Vol-Down when you see the blue LED
5. Now you should get into the bootmenu. You can navigate with the volume keys there. Choose "Recovery" and press the power button to select.
6. Now choose "Custom Recovery"
7. Choose "install zip from sdcard" and install the downloaded zips:
7.1 Install cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip
7.2 Install gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
7.3 Install the fixes (the two other zips)
8. Now you have to do a factory reset. After that all your apps and settings will be deleted. If you want to keep them, you must backup the apps/settings first. You could do that with the app TitaniumBackup.
9. Choose "wipe data/factory reset" to do this factory reset.
10. Reboot the defy now. If you stil see the boot animation after five minutes, reboot the defy (I think you must remove the battery and put them into the phone again).
Now you should have a defy with CyanogenMod 7!
possible, in posibble?
188 2.3.6 motorola defy+ their full SBF will not work the root of the superoneclickk 2.3.3 not possible
WARNING!!!
The below guide is useless! It instructs you to download 2ndinit 2.0 which DOES NOT BOOT on Defy+ I have thus far killed 2 phones using it!!! Only use 1.4.2 no later. Thanks! =)

That's strange...
For me it works well, i installed CWM sucessfully on both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 devices. I was using the original firmware (from factory) for the 2.3.4 device and at the second device i flashed a 2.3.6 DFP-139 sbf form droid-developers.org. After installing the latest recovery and removing the "2nd-init Defy" app, I rebooted the phones and everything worked fine.
When you start the phone, do you see the blue led then? If not, you don't have installed 2nd-init correctly. If yes, try to 'wipe data/factory reset' the phone (you should have a backup, this erases all your user data which is not stored on the sd card and all your apps). If the phone is still not booting, you/the 2nd-init installer have/has made a wrong change to the system partition.
Then you should try to flash a new 2.3.4 SBF (look here and also here) and try it one more time.

thank you very much mister ypsilon...
your method works perfectly...camera works...though i cant find out how to check if its charging full, (it shows upto 100%, is that all i need ?)
i have some minor problems though:
1)sometimes when i go out of coverage area and come back, the phone doesn't regain the signal
2)there is no 720p recording...had that in the stock ROM...
i want to try 7.2 cm7 for defy+ but on dual boot, did any one tried ??? plz procedure guyz.
dual boot

afaik you absolutely have to dual boot a defy/defy+...because of the locked bootloader you cant remove the stock rom...
follow the above instructions carefully and you will have a cm7.2...then you can dual boot by selecting the preferred entry from the menu....

Bro even I have done this n times! In fact I had stock 2.3.4 which I upgraded to 2.3.6 by a full SBF flash and since then I have rooted using superoneclick and installed recovery many times and it works perfectly! The only issue however is that there are less frequent releases for 2.3.6 as compared to the Froyo kernel!

Hi,
Good to know new Defy+ are coming in India with latest updates! I too have the very same SBF in my phone. As you said rooting and all not a problem. No need to flash any specific SBF as such. A nandroid backup is recommended in case you want to come back to where you left before flashing! And if you want back warranty just flash the SBF with RSD lite(Walter's thread has the SBF and even I can give you the link if you want.).
For your second answer:
This SBF has BL6. So you cannot go back to any ROM or sbf which has a previous version. Thus, walter said about unability to flash MIUI or CM7. However, you can flash CM7.2 for Defy+ or CM9 for Defy+(By quarx). Just flash the CM. No need to flash any kernel. It worked fine for me. You can even try dual boot and that too works great.
Happy flashing!
thnx a tonne....I was wanting cm7 fr its completeness....n cm9 fr awesomeness.....thnx again....
Also....can u give a link to the best cm7.2 build fr us....?

Bro, dont speak from ignorance, especially when it can lead to others ending up in a bad place. The latest versions of 2.3.6 eg 4.5.1-134-DFP-188 can not be rooted by any currently known exploit, so you have to be careful when choosing an sbf to flash. See here for which versions can and can't be rooted.
There's even a whole thread all of its own where people are trying to root the latest 2.3.6 releases, here.

Yep, I realised it later and saw the whole discussion about 188 version SBFs with BL7! Sorry, if that was offending!!

http://quarx2k.ru/cm7-nightly-defy+/ That is CM7 nightlies for Defy+ by Quarx!!
Followed the steps listed by Mister Ypsilon, on to my new Defy+ which used to run Motorola Stock with Motoblur. So far looks good. I will post further regarding the battery.
The only glitch that I faced after installing the ROM is that it always froze at the Boot Animation. I had to pull the battery almost 5-6 times and then magically it started to work. Boots within 10 second from the Motorola Logo.
Not sure if the battery pulls were because of something that I did wrong.
Thank you Mister Ypsilon.

Search for Multuboot v0.8, its a flashable ziped file, through which you can dual boot, i have tried and it works perfect !! :laugh:
You will need 3 img files also ,so that your 2nd rom can be installed is sd card with atleast 900 MB of space ..

Use baseband switcher app to choose appropriate baseband according to your location, it may help in signal problem..
Hello fellow uers,
I'm using TweetyPeety's ROM "PIKACHU EDITION 2.4.20b" and for the first time I'm trying multiboot (I just got an microSD 32gb class 10 card!). I've succesfully installed "touchbootmenuV2.0beta_multibootV0.7-20120618-signed.zip" from the Multiboot thread. I've also downloaded the fsimages and placed in the sd card under "/sdcard/multiboot/jb". I'm trying to install Quarx's CM10 ROM. I'm using a MB525 Red Lens Defy.
Then I do as follows:
1) Get into recovery (now w/touch interface)
2) Go into multiboot
3) Select Recovery
4) Select the JB virtual system and get into recovery
5) Install zip
At this point the progess bar hangs up at about 75-80% of the process and nothing happens no matter how much I wait. The only thing I can do at this point is remove the battery.
So my question is...what am I doing wrong here? Perhaps I'm using the wrong base ROM?
Thank you very much in advance!
EDIT:
Managed to flash CM10 now. As I was using GB kernel (MIUI Pikachu) I needed to flash the Defy+ version.
Now I'm unable to boot into CM10...Boot configured to 2nd-boot and Multiboot to boot CM10. On every reboot it goes to nand rom. Any ideas?
Thanks!
EDIT 2:
Solved! Had to choose 2nd-system as Boot.
hello
excuse me . I'm new to xda . and English is not my native language .
so it's difficult for Me to read all the posts in all the threads
is there any way that I use it to install all custom roms ?
I have rooted my defy and installed the clockworkmod recovery .
does the way work for all custom roms ?
and two more thing :
does the way work on defy and defy mini ?
and how can I make my defy dual touch ?
thanks in advance ....

Clockworkmod works for all custom roms. General step is
Assuming you have Defy and NOT DEFY plus.
1. Flash froyo sbf (can omit if on stock rom)
2. Copy *.zip to sdcard
3. Reboot your device in BootMenu/ClockWork
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5. Install the *zip
6. Wipe dalvik (in 'advance')
7. reboot
But you will have to read instructions for each rom, some may require certain changes. Like CM9 / CM10 require you to flash a kernel along with the rom zip.
thank you....
exactly I want to use cm9 and cm10 ...
how to flash kernels on my defy ?
and does this way work on defy and defy mini ?
I have searched for answers but I can't find them.
How do you install clockworkmod on Defy? I can't find it in Google Play.
I've installed ROM Manager. Inside ROM Manager it is an option to install ClockworkMod Recovery but when I try it says: "Motorola Defy does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
Of course I don't have. I can't find it.
I also tried to find Defy 2nd init in Google Play but it's not there.
How to do?

You cant , you can flash cyanogenmod 7 and will give you clockworkmod with it , what you can do is make sure your phone is rooted !!
- download 2init here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
- PS download 1.4.2
- install as normal apk
- then just install it and reboot twice
- you now have custom recovery
you can install cm7 from there

It didn't work. When I restart into recovery I get an droid with an exclamation mark.
Thats not the 2ndinit recovery.
To go in the 2ndinit recovery you need to boot up and when the led lights up blue during the boot process push the volume rocker down.
To install CM7 you also need gapps(but thats said in the tutorial).
And there are also newer versions of CM7.

you just have to go to custom or latest recovery then there will be a option backup and restore there you do a backup
else it should be under advanced .

You do have a custom recovery, don't you?
It seems like you are trying to flash from stock recovery.
You need a custom recovery (Clockworkmod or TWR) to install ROMs.
You can get it by using the 2ndinit app. (Read the all-in-one defy beginners guide.)
Don't forget to click the Thanks button if this helped you.

so that means i need to install this 2ndInit Recovery Installer v2.3 then i can easily flash the CM9 nightly i want?
sorry for this newbie question but is clockworkmod = 2nd init recovery? do i have to install the clockworkmod after i installed the 2nd init recovery? or all i need is the 2ndinit recovery installer?
Thread moved. Please post questions here in Q&A in future.

if youre not opposed to starting over with a fresh sbf, then do just that. this time stick to twrp. seems to be doing much better than CWM

my next advice is to learn how to manage your own roms without goomanager. for the most part you can read the tutorials on the defy wiki page to install "2ndInit Recovery". then use the 2ndinit recovery to install twrp. from there you install 10.2/4.3 and enjoy. just make sure you know well how to do sbf flashes just in case you goof and softbrick your phone in the process.
plus you should be able to install goo manager once youve settled in with twrp.

You misunderstood me maybe. I never used Goomanager. The first time I did was like 2 days ago when I found out I can't install CM10.x with CWM v5, but v6 or TWRP, and tried to install TWRP from it. It didn't work. Also, the TWRP flashable zip won't install from CWM. I mean... It says it's ok and reboot recovery but nothing. Gwah I know all about sbf flashes in case of softbrick and all...

You misunderstood me maybe. I never used Goomanager. The first time I did was like 2 days ago when I found out I can't install CM10.x with CWM v5, but v6 or TWRP, and tried to install TWRP from it. It didn't work. Also, the TWRP flashable zip won't install from CWM. I mean... It says it's ok and reboot recovery but nothing. Gwah I know all about sbf flashes in case of softbrick and all...

I don't think so. Something is very fishy about my phone. very-VERY strange... I can't install cm10.x cuz' of no update-binary support in cwm v5, and i can't find a way to make TWRP work, nor can I find any CWM v6 install methods... srsly WUT EVERY OTHER stuff works as intended. everything. all roms before jelly bean. i need to make twrp work or a cwm v6 installation.

Only CM10.2 needs the new CWMv6. CM10 and CM10.1 should work.
Your phone seems to trolling you:laugh:. But seriously, as a last resort I would flash DFP sbf. Gingerbread isn't half bad (especially with MS2Ginger, which is really stable and is compatible with Green Lens too).

Well then it's trolling me 'cuz CM10 gives the same status 7 error. It IS trolling me. But i'm scared of flashing a DFP sbf. What if things go wrong? I won't be able to rollback then.
You can try to use twrp on gb roms by replacing the boot menu folder in system by that of cm10 or later. Try once with a clean folder, and once by copying over the existing files.
As for defy plus sbf, if you have a green lens, camera won't work on any gb except ms2ginger. In addition a battery patch must be flashed after every rom for full charging. For red lens only battery patch has to be flashed.
None of the above applies to cm10 and later.

If things go wrong, try a different SBF.

I tried replacing the bootmenu folder with different apps, but all got some "Operation failed!" or "Error with files" in itself, so I also tried to replace some of the files 1 by 1, they still failed. So that could be the reason why the zip won't flash properly... Maybe some safety option somewhere in CM9??? My phone can't seem to handle the recovery zips, only the 2ndinit apk. Very strange!
That must be done from recovery. I recall helping someone replace the recovery using a flashable zip because only a legacy recovery worked for him. I think it was zer0-gravity. Check my posts on that.
Replacing the recovery files with twrp ones in the zip I had made on that thread should with hopefully.
Also, your problems indicate file system errors, and I'll advise you to flash a different(higher) sbf, since that has in the past worked out well, for me and others. Beyond this point I'm out of ideas.

another fast question. i recover my phone using the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 method, after that i have to do a root, nandroid, then instantly flash a fixed sbf (firmware.sbf...). its cuz i got the phone 2nd hand, and he f-ed up smth upgrading to gingerbread or so... can it be the root of my problem?

Why do you need a fixed sbf? After rooting try directly 2ndinit. Don't restore nandroid. Also, root using framaroot since its much easier and faster. You can jump from 2.1 to
2ndboot directly.

Cuz' my mb525 got flashed a GB sbf accidentally, from which you can't downgrade (by its user before me), and you can only recover it from éclair via the method i linked. other sbf's wont work
Ok, so when you flash the first sbf, and root, what stops you from directly using 2ndboot at that point

It just won't install, with status 0 or 7.
But right now I grew tired of this problem and i will flash a DFP 231.sbf from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
I will follow these steps. Can i do that? (MB525 Red Lens)
edit: 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE
Yes. Flash that and root with framaroot.
Don't follow the guide for rooting, just flash dfp 231 , if it hangs on moto wipe data and cache from stock, and use framaroot.
Depending on eu or cee you've flashed, you may require a kernel to boot successfully with 2ndboot roms(otherwise you will just hang even after waiting a lot). It can be found in the defy custom kernel thread in General
Best of luck
