[Defy General] minomarimat:
Hmm. I don't know if you could call its status as "bricked", because as far as I know, you can't actually brick the Defy because of the locked bootloader. That's how we Defy users can luckily have our warranty so easily (as long as warranty period isn't expired, of course) whenever there's a physical repair needed.

Anyway, to solve your problem, all you have to do is to flash a new .sbf file. You have to make sure that you download the right .sbf file, of course. I could explain it to you in detail here in this reply, but this guide would be fitting to help you solve your problem.

[Defy General] martix900:
OK, but tell me more

OK Thank you, I understand: I have to flash a new SBF. But which of the official SBFs shall I choose? - I've only a nandroid backup, but no sbf backup.
[Defy General] minomarimat:
not really an SBF backup; you have to download an SBF file that suits the CG version that your phone has. First, you have to remember; what was the last STOCK ANDROID VERSION that you had on your phone before you rooted, installed Snd init, and etc.?
[Defy General] martix900:
Is it illegal to get the official sbf for android?

Is it illegal to get the official sbf for android?(There are some links to megaupload, maybe multiupload is illegal too)
[Defy General] martix900:
link doesn't work

The dowload link for the fixed sbf from minomarimat doesn't work, can I get the firmware anywhere?
[Defy General] Gobsheen:
Can't get it to work!

Maybe I'm just too stupid but I've followed the instructions over and over but keep getting into a boot loop. Struggling to work out what I'm doing wrong. I can get back to CM7 and reboot, and the phone's working again.

I could really do with some guidance! Not sure what to tell you that might help.....?

These are the files I've tried.......

CM7_Kernel-signed

CM9-NIGHTLY-120329-Defy

gapps-ics-20120317-signed

CM9_Kernel-signed

gapps-ics-4.0.3-20111217

gapps-20111128

I wasn't sure how to check which build I'm on for the gapps file.

HELP!

When can we expect the camera to work fine on Green lens Defy?;)
[Defy General] webbles17:
I think you just need to

Wipe data and cache

Flash the nightly

Flash the cm9 kernel

Flash cm9 gapps

Epsylon 5/08 build is just about perfect on my green lens defy. Video cam works, tethering, and the HWUI is working too. Panorama only works after clearing the dalvik cache, & cache. Sometimes. Opera mini works but chrome & reg opera does not.Through apparently Opera works when you use the chainfire drivers.
[Defy General] ScratMan38:
Does not work for me

I'm testing the 05/08 build from Epsylon, and flash is not fully working. In the native Android Browser I can read some flash, but most of the time, it freezes and I can't navigate anymore. I need to force close the navigator to use internet again.

Opera and Chrome don't work.

Will try with ChainFire 3D.

ICS for green lens defy

I had some problem with defy's mic and speak suddenly when it was running on Gingerbread, so I upgraded to ICS and saw the camera is not functional (later i found camera wont work on Green lens defy as of now), hence I flashed my defy back with Froyo 2.2.2 . When can I expect the camera to be functional on Moto defy with Green lens ? :confused:
[Defy General] MuNNa619:
Hello,

I was on defy green lens 2.2.2 stock rom,

i rooted it using SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse,

then installed SndInitDefy_2.0 to get into recovery ,

then i tried to check the version from 20-may-2012

followed the instructions, installed ROM > Kernel > GApps

wiped dalvik cache

but the problem coming is that it is stuck into MOTO LOGo (Note: Not CM logo, its MOTO logo)

what should i do ?

Please help me as i think i have missed some step ..

Edit:

waited for 1 hour .... just stuck at moto logo...

then i restored stock rom from rsdlite and then installed the version from 14-05-2012

again same problem ..
[Defy General] panda88:
I am new to CM9. Currently having MB525 red lens and it is running the latest 2.2 SEA rom.

Please help to clarify the following:

Prerequisites: Defy, rooted and with 2nd init installed. --> Should not be a problem

Backup your apps using Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Astro File Manager or similar (to restore to the ICS ROM you will flash). --> Should not be a problem

Get the latest CM9 zip file (links at the end of this post). --> is this the correct one? http://defy.wdscript.fr/defy-cm9/CM9-ICS-MR0-111213-jordan.zip or should I use the latest nightly http://defy.wdscript.fr/defy-cm9/CM9-NIGHTLY-120519-Defy.zip

Copy into your SD card. --> should not be a problem

Disable USB debugging. --> should not be a problem

Reboot into recovery (switch on the phone and hit volume - button when the LED turns blue; CM7 and similar custom ROM users can press and hold power, select recovery).

Make a backup of your current ROM. --> should not be a problem but I prefer to do SBF full recovery which I've done before

Do a factory reset/wipe data, then install the CM9 zip file. --> should not be a problem

Immediately after, flash this 2.3 kernel zip. --> Since mine is on Froyo, and I intend to use CM9 with Froyo kernel. Do I need to do this step?

Flash GApps zip file. --> should not be a problem

Clear Dalvik Cache (this is IMPORTANT!). --> should not be a problem

Reboot. It takes some time for Dalvik Cache to be built, be patient. --> this is the moment I am waiting for...

Thanks to anyone who is helping..

ICS Kernal for defy

It is the best ICS ROM I have ever used..better than AOSP Codename, AOKP..Thanx Epsylon..

One question: When we are putting ICS ROM, y r we flashing GB kernel? I mean ideally there should be an ICS kernal to flash to :confused:?
[Defy General] i2vivek:
Status bar transparent

Is there a setting for making the status bar transparent :rolleyes:? I can't find one
[Defy General] AlexGraves:
exactly the same was happening to me ... :(

i followed the guidelines provided in this thread, and i was left stuck at the moto logo ...

are the guidelines provided here already obsolete?:confused:

edit: OKAY!! ... Obviously my mistake ... my misunderstanding ... :D:D:D

Just read the guide again and i found what I did wrong ...

My MB525 is with SoC Module, thus I use Epsylon3's build which is using Froyo kernel.

And GB Kernel is intended for Quarx's build.

So, I just redo the SBF flash back to Froyo SEA, root, install 2ndinit, wipe data & cache, install CM9 & gapps zips, clear dalvik, reboot ... and VOILA!!

I am now on ICS 4.0.4 ... :D:D:D

Salute to the developers especially Epsylon3
[Defy General] Mario.D:
Kernel question

Hi

I have defy with greens camera lens and have updated from android 2.2 , 2.3 , cm7 , cm7.2 , cm9 from fuzz and now the latest Epsylon3 build with froyo kernel.

Now then i look under settings - about phone i se this

Linux version 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 vfcj78@zch68lnxdroid50 #Fri Jun 3 11:40:33 CST 2011

Isnt that a Gingerbread kernel?

Should i grab this kernel defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip?

I have no issues all thing seems ok, i have edited the build.prop so i have full HWA.
[Defy General] sumeshpremraj:
Have mentioned it clearly in OP but here goes again:

Defy green lens: froyo kernel Epsylon3 build

Red lens: gb kernel quarx build
[Defy General] sumeshpremraj:
Gb kernel because defy has locked bl - only signed kernels. Gb kernel from defy+ is the latest we have. And likely to remain so since even defy+ hasn't received ics update.

first flash kernal or rom..

im currently using defy red lens with cm7.....now i want to upgrde it to ICS or JB...so

1. which kernal should i use...

2. flash kernal first or rom

3. which more stable till date ICS or JB..
[Defy General] major9:
If you are on Gingerbread, don't flash kernel. Else flash kernel first.

I've found both ICS & JB to be stable. But if you're not sure, go for ICS.
[Defy General] MadCiapka:
Hello,

I am having trouble to run/open SIM toolkit on CM9-NIGHTLY-120902-Defy.zip freshly installed on wiped clean device. Before that I was using older CM7 without any SIM toolkit problems. Is this a problem of my device, this build or some general situation with CM9? There isn't much to be found about sim toolkit (stk) in this forum - positive or negative either. So I suppose that it works or no one is using that? (best internet banking auth method ...)

EDIT: so it's fixed. The problem was, that I had the debugging mode with ABP only root access on, which probably denied something for stk.apk. Needed to restart the phone completely to take effect. Sorry and thx :D
[Defy General] n70arun:
Is this a Stable release

Hello my MB525 is running CM 7, and i wanna run CM9. is there a stable release out there? if so should i also do a kernal flash??

Thanks!

Hey, I don't know what to do.

[Samsung Focus S] emjlr3:
I believe there is a 32 GB version available. Mine has no expansion slot accessible.
[Samsung Focus S] ANTLink19:
Only available in 16GB. No SD slot. The lack of. Sd are support was brought on by the way WP7 interacts with external memory. Which can hinder the user experience. Bing it for more info
[Samsung Focus S] DamnageD:
its not insane, its irritating.

the inability of WM7 devices to support external micro sd cards has been known for well over a year now. it has to do with WM7 os reading/writing faster than the cards can handle.

...and considering all the cloud based services available now, why would you need more thatn 16 gigs in your device anyway? really, the only things that need to live on the device would be apps. music, pics, and video can all be accesssed from the cloud. imo.
[Samsung Focus S] livejazz:
additional storage space

There are success stories of those who replaced their 16gb card with a 32 gb card and probably only a matter of time before somebody explores the same on this device, but again, why would you with all the cloud services. Success stories, specifically, on the Arrive. There are those that replaced their 16gb internal card with a 32gb card and it's working at least as well. Good luck!

Hi Guys

So I bought my wife an Inspire and have been playing around with Wild Child's ROMs over in the Inspire Forum. I think he does fantastic work and so far these are some of the most stable and fastest ROMs I have seen on any Android device that I have used. Check the thread for reviews and feedback from other users.

I spoke with him about developing a ROM for the Tbolt, but obviously he is on ATT and has an Inspire. However, he said if he had one he would definitely get working on it.

I would like to start taking donations to buy him a Tbolt so he can develop a ROM for us to use.

I think we can buy a good quality used one in the $150 range, so it wouldn't take too much to get him started. If we can get enough to buy one ( I will throw in too), I will gladly find one locally in Utah and pay for the shipping to to him.

If there is enough interest on this and we get some posts, I will put up a paypal link for this.

Thanks and please post your thoughts so we can get working on this.

JimmyUT
[Thunderbolt General] Grnlantern79:
I think you would be better off having the developer come and express interest in attaining a donated thunderbolt. I am not sure how many people would just send money to you in good faith since Christmas is right around the corner, couldn't hurt to have some extra shopping money. But good luck.

[Thunderbolt General] jimmyUT:
So if I was trying to scam you, why do you think I would put in a developers name who is a member and respected developer on this site? Seriously?

I discussed this with Wild Child and he asked me to do it this way. You can confer with him if you don't believe me.

You can also check out my business website.

utahpistol.com

I am certified by the state to teach concealed weapons classes and if there is even a blip on my record or a complaint i could loose my certification and my business. Do you really think that is worth $150 to me?? I. come on gentlemen. Not everything in this world is a scam, and you should have realized that when I put in a devs name that is here on the site and accessible.

But thank you for bringing negativity to my thread as I was just trying to do something for the greater good of the xda community.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Wild Child has a donations link setup. I'd say if you wanted to donate to him why not donate through his link? Also, can you point us to some of his work with the Inspire? I don't see much development for the Inspire.
[Thunderbolt General] :
I was asked to possibly develop for you guys on the tbolt....if you look here,I took over the ROM from someone else...all the proof of my work is there@feedback etc....this wasnt a scam, and for those who gave negative replies...not very nice....jimmyut was only trying to give you guys a stable usable rom for this device....but since you guys/girls want to bash the man for something legit....thats ok ill pass.... Mods can you please delete this thread....Thank you for the confidence and compliments of my work jimmy:cool:....ill see you in the inspire forums...

WC
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyUT:
No worries. Sorry it didn't work out because of the negative attitudes of some of the members on here. You would have been a great asset to the Tbolt team.

Maybe I will just buy one myself and send it to you so I can have my own custom one of a kind ROM...

Thanks again for the willingness to help out. I wish this whole community was more like you.

Going here to Google Contacts and selecting all contacts and choosing "find & merge duplicates" just returns "yay! no duplicates".
