Any idea why does CWM Recovery not work for me ?? i tried to install g3mod 2.1 2.1 2.2.1 but none of them worked. Then i thought of installing a custom rom so i flashed kyrillos' rom 9.0. but still no luck. the problem is that the phone boots into recovery but none of the features work like .zip update from sdcard. Backup/Restore etc... it says erroro can't mount E:/... something like that. the only case when cwm works for me is while using marcellusbe's cm7.1. Any idea how to make it working on kyrillos' rom 9.0. Beacuse of the same reason i am not able to upgrade to kyrillos' 9.2 which is an update.zip
flash kyrillos rom again using odin, and then flash g3mod kernel using odin.
this should solve your problem
Same problem with me....
If not work anything try kyrillos rom 7.0 and don't flash g3mod..

I had Oxygen at first, but decided to install the ICS aurora and now im really struggling to revert back to Oxygen. Feels like i've tried anything. Could someone please guide me how to revert back? Thanks!
Edit: Tried to install back to stock 2.2, and in CWM install oxygen, but the phone just get stuck in bootloop.
Are you using official recovery 5.0.2.6 to install oxygen? Any version above that will result in a bootloop because they are only for .35 kernels.

Does this worked or not?
Hi folks!
As the title suggests, I want out from JellyBean and back to MIUI Pickachu Edition 2.xz
I think the latest 2nd boot builds have the GB kernel since I see 4 Vsel levels, so should I flash the froyo kernel?
If so, what should be the order of flashing ROM -> Kernel or other way round?
Also, I have a nandroid backup of when I had MIUI. What steps do I have to follow to restore it, i.e, do I have to flash the ROM (and/or kernel since I was on froyo kernel when the backup was taken) to restore nandroid?
I read a lot about the fuss of latest nightlies changing /system and /data to ext4, but in my case they are ext3, so I guess I should be alright?
Reason for going back is LAG! the immense amount of time to open stuff. I tried loving it, but its just too slow to the point I feel like its running Windows 8 on Intel 8086.
Please post all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
Hi!
My friend was in same situation and he went ahead and tried to flash MIUI Pickachu edition, but his process got stuck and now his Defy won't boot.
Hes now flashing stock Froyo sbf.
Thats the reason why I need to know instructions to get back to MIUI without going through sbf flashing.
Any help gladly appreciated!

how do I install miui and cyanogenmod both on defy MB525
any help in installing miui on defy would be much appreciated.
You need to flash a Froyo SBF. For some reasons going back to 2.3 always ends in a cache error, flashing 2.6 kernel, nandroid, fullwhipe etc. doesnt work

R U on Froyo or GB? if Froyo try to flash fixed sbf I will attached if needed.
Just flashing froyo kernel was ok for the 2nd boot builds upto 9 nov builds.
From 9th nov builds the cm10 rom formats our defy to ext4 file system, so in order to downgrade we need to flash the sbf.

My friend, thats what I have said, in my OP,
I have checked using mount command from rooted shell and I can confirm that my /data and /system are STILL in ext3 even though some say that the latest nightlies change the fs while formatting.
Try restoring your backup, you may succeed, otherwise you need to start all over again, with the sbf. I find it better to start all over anyway, no matter, what rom we are talking about. Those installed over a freshly flashed sbf proved to be snappier and absolutely bugfree - at least for me.
Simply try to restore your backup. I tried many roms so far, aslo the newest by Quarx and Epsylon and i always worked for me to install a new rom/zip/ withour anything further. Never installed a sbf.
Was quite late in posting a reply but I did end up flashing Stock Defy 2.2.2 SEA sbf.
I did flash successfully MIUI (Pikachu edition) but it was a bit off, so took a backup and flashed sbf.
Have been on stock ever since (been kinda busy).
OK for the life of me I can't get cavito ROM to flash it just sticks on boot loop dosent do any think just stick on boot loop

Hi
I had a Motorola Defy mb525.
Bricked the phone while trying to install CM9
Got it alive somehow by Flashing it with .sbf
Now my phone shows as mb526 and I was able to root it again.
System Version - 45.0.231.mb526.AsiaRetail.en.03
Version - 2.3.6
Kernel - 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e [email protected] #1
The problem now is I am not able to flash any of the Custom ROM's.
Tried CM10, Cm9 and also the latest kitkat
Downloaded different ones for each ROM's.
I get the message when i try to update from SDcard "Signature verification failed"
If someone could help me in Upgrading to JellyBean or Kitkat

For KitKat you need to flash an updated recovery. Check the thread.

CM10.2 works after installing gapps but Kit Kat Still not installing
I updated the recovery as well
My phone was bricked when I was installing Kit Kat
It stopped at Step 7
I had to flash the stock SBF to get it alive again
Will wait for updates to the kit kat mod
CM10.2 works but really slow
