Goose-T...i had no battery problems or any other problems when i was using CM7.2...i'm facing a battery prob on Quarx's CM9(18th march build).
[Defy General] Goose-T:
What is that with "i have flashed the CM9 kernel"? Quarx's CM9 worked for me flawlessly without any kernel update.
[Defy General] krishna.kowshik:
i tried installing CM9 without the kernel update, but i was getting stuck on the boot logo. then i found a thread that said you have to flash the CM9 kernel after flashing CM9 rom. I did and it worked except the battery problem.
[Defy General] niksy+:
Your DEFY+ has an old 2.3.4 ROM and those ROM's have a kernel that is actually working the same as Froyo kernels. That's why you needed to flash CM9-kernel to get Quarx's DEFY+ CM9 working. (CM9-kernel = one of the Motorola's Gingerbread kernels)

What came to my mind is that your phone might actually be a DEFY flashed to a very early 2.3.4 ROM and then sold as DEFY+. That would explain why official CM7.2 RC1 charged your battery to 100%. That ROM is meant for standard DEFY and for Froyo kernel.

Please reply to my PM or write your battery model here!
[Defy General] oSandmaNo:
How did CM7.2 RC1 work on his defy+???
[Defy General] krishna.kowshik:
They can actually do that ? :eek: Damn MOTO !! i got my phone fully sealed within a Moto defy+ box..Niksy+ can they actually do that ? i mean..how can they ?? :mad:

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

i just flashed the CM7.2 RC1 for defy on my defy+ and cleared the dalvik cache..and it worked like a charm !!
[Defy General] niksy+:
I thought you might have bought a second hand one... But your battery model is correct, and you say you bought it sealed in a box. Don't worry, it must be an MB526 (DEFY+)!

Old 2.3.4 builds are known to work as base for Froyo ROM's :)

But the weird thing is that his battery won't charge to 100% on ROMs with the correct battd.bin for DEFY+, but it does on the ones with a battd.bin for a standard DEFY! :confused:

@krishna.kowshik Try this:

1. Open the CM7.2 RC1.zip, go to system/bin/ and then extract file battd.bin

2. Install RootExplorer on your phone (Accept the SuperUser permissions)

3. Copy that battd.bin file you extracted to somewhere on your memory card

4. Open RootExplorer, copy the battd.bin from where you've put it, go to root/system/bin press Mount R/W button, then paste the battd.bin, overwrite the previous one and finally press Mount R/O button.

5. Exit everything, turn off phone, enter custom recovery, Recovery > Custom > Advanced / Clear battery stats

6. Restart phone

Your phone should charge to 100% now! But, there's no guarantees. DEFY+ is a strange thing :) There are many MANY of those battd.bin files available, and some work for some people, some work for others...

Let us know if it worked!
[Defy General] krishna.kowshik:
Alright..I'm working on it :) ...Hope it works ..:rolleyes:

Well guys...Quarx replied back to my mail asking me which kernel i have used..i've given him the details. Looks like he will fish out a solution !! :D;)

KUDOS to QUARX !!:cool:
[Defy General] imam88:
i belive u, the whole day i try panorama mode, but no luck with it :(
[Defy General] vis_9:
You were true, I tried to install CM9 by FuZZ_ without updating the kernel and it's running fine! Thank you again :)
[Defy General] piskr:
I'm wondering, and this has never be questioned so far, whether it has to be an UK ROM? There a lot of ROMS and they assumed to be equal (UK, DE, FR, middle EU) but I've never noticed that someone gave them a try. So: is it the UK ROM or any 2.3.6 (EU) ROM?
[Defy General] niksy+:
Is it...what? I kinda don't understand your question...

Stock non-branded ROMs (of the same firmware version) for different regions only have different basebands, or at least I believe so :)
[Defy General] september1st:
Hello all,

I've recently bought a Defy+ (my first Android phone) and keeps restarting continuously, being obviously hard to use.

I've kept my stock ROM, actual specifications are:

- System version: 45.0.1250.MB526.Retail.en.GB

- Android version: 2.3.5

- Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00

- Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e

- Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-125

I would like to try this last version of quarx's CM9-NIGHTLY-120609-Defy+ (previous versions having positive reviews), hoping that this would solve my problem.

Anyone else had this restart issue or have any alternative sugestion?
[Defy General] niksy+:
When do those restarts occur? Or are they random? Don't remember if I had any restarts on any stock ROM, but I haven't used many apps back then... So, have you stuffed your phone with apps?

You can always try doing a factory reset, if you haven't already?
[Defy General] v1n337:
I'd had the same problem with my Defy+ at the start. Don't try rooting and don't install any custom ROM. Just ask the retailer for a replacement.
[Defy General] september1st:
Restarts are random, i haven't tried a factory reset yet.

And no, i don't have any new app installed.

Unfortunatelly, i'm out of that 10 days period of returning the product back. However i'll ask my Service Center for a solution.
[Defy General] rejuvenise:

Hello friends

M a new user @ XDA

I have motorola Defy+ with Following

I want to install new ROm. Please suggest which is the best rom n how to go about it?

I have read the complete guide but m unable to find my phone lens type (red/green)

Secondly don't know how to install CMW recovery

please help
[Defy General] dlshad:
hey

First you have( ROOT ) your phone ( lose your Warranty when you root your phone). not easy to root 2.3.6

then you can choice any Custom ROM Support your MB526.

WR,CM9,ICS4.4

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

i have problem with panorama-stoping any news to solve it my system CM9 ICs4.4 thank you
[Defy General] niksy+:
I still suggest doing a factory reset. It can't hurt and might actually help :o Good luck, anyway!

You say that you have read the guide? Well, doesn't it say a the top that

DEFY+ = red lens DEFY with a higher capacity battery? :p

The roms you can try are:

DEFY+ CM7.2 nightly builds by Quarx - link

DEFY+ CM7.2 kangs by FuZZ - link

DEFY+ CM9 nightly builds by Quarx - link

DEFY+ CM9 nightly builds by Epsylon3 - link (*you will most probably need the batter fix to be able to charge to 100% if you're gonna use this one, check the last few pages, I've posted it recently*)

DEFY+ CM9 kangs by FuZZ - link

MS2Ginger by walter79 (based on stock ROM, with MotoBLUR) - link

*some MIUI builds for Gingerbread kernel have shown up recently, you coul try them as well - link

I can't really say which is the best, but after trying most of the available ROMs, FuZZ's kangs have become my favourites (both CM7.2 and CM9).

The procedure is: root phone (see here), install 2nd init (find it in defy apps subforum), go into custom recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install ROM zip, install gapps zip, reboot and enjoy...

You can find gapps here - http://goo.im/gapps/

*use latest ics gapps for CM9, latest gb gapps for CM7.2*

P.S. Your phone is bl6 and has a Gingerbread kernel. Don't flash any kernels when using this ROMs, it's not needed and it will send your phone into a bootloader error after which you would have to flash a full sbf.

Nope, nothing you or I can do :-/ Except donate, to Quarx or Epsylon or maniac, that would probably motivate them :) Other than that, just wait...
[Defy General] september1st:
Thanks, i've just done a factory reset, let's wait and see...:cool:
[Defy General] marcomir1988:
i had a problem with the battery

the battery charges only till 85%... I have the same problem krishna.kowshik

I tried changing the file battd, but nothing .. I read that krishna.kowshik have this problem, and I wanted ask if she have fixed ... I have,defy plus , with kernel 2.3.4, and installed CyanogenMod 9 to 26-Jun-2012 19:28 ...

sorry for my english

thanks

mark

:)
[Defy General] niksy+:
Which Cyanogen Mod 9? Who is the author? If you installed the one by Epsylon3, use the battery fix I attached in one of my posts on previous pages!
[Defy General] marcomir1988:
CM9 by Quarx, if used battery fix the phone will not charge:(
[Defy General] niksy+:
Try and get in contact with krishna? Send him a PM? I really can't help, since my and your phone don't behave in the same way :/
[Defy General] marcomir1988:
when I turn off the phone and put it on charge, this is the result ....

I tried to contact her but nothing
[Defy General] niksy+:
Your link is broken :/

If you flashed the battery fix and can't charge, just reflash the CM9.zip you flashed before, without wiping anything. That'll revert it back.

Krishna is a guy ( :P ) and I really can't help you more :/ Read his posts, see what ROM worked for him, on which one he could charge to 100%?
[Defy General] krishna.kowshik:
The problem is with the 2.3.4 kernel...Since u r on 2.3.4, i believe you are flashing the CM9 kernel to get CM9 working on your defy+.

The battery problem is due to that kernel. The best solution is to flash 2.3.5 sbf, root it , install cwm and then flash the CM9 rom ( DONT FLASH THE KERNEL ) and everything will be fine..I did the same and everything is fine..If you need any more info, just ask.:laugh:

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

Niksy+, you are the one who found the root of the problem..you are the one who found out that 2.3.4 acts like a froyo kernel..You are the one who advised me to flash 2.3.5 which solved everything..How can you deny the credit for that ?:p

New defy plus. help

Brought a new defy plus last month. I really hate blur, I would like to run miui or even stock cm7 / cm9. I have gone through a lot of guides in this forums over the last few days and I understand most of it. However I would like if someone helped me and confirmed if I can flash CyanogenMod 7.2 by Quarx from the first post.

System version : 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03

Model Number : MB526

Android Version : 2.3.6

Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.03

Kernel : 2.6.32.9-ge

Build Number : 4.5.1-134_DFP-231

what is the exact procedure? is it possible to install cm7 after i root using SuperOneClickRoot ?

Or do i have to flash some sbf ?
[Defy General] niksy+:
The firmware on your phone is signed as bl version 7 and therefore you can't root with SuperOneClick, but have to follow the guide for BL7 Rooting (check out both of these two links (same as posted by krishna couple of posts ago)):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25243714&postcount=88

After that you can go about installing 2nd Init and any ROM for Gingerbread kernel (some call them ROMs for Gingerbread kernel, some call them DEFY+ ROMs and some call them jordan_plus ROMs).

Hope that helps out :) Do ask if you're still in doubt :cool:
[Defy General] krishna.kowshik:
why cant i switch between calls niksy+ ? How do i activate call waiting ?:eek:
[Defy General] mailbinoy:
This is probably something I missed, how do i wipe?

I am used to wipe using CMrecovery but how do i wipe on this fresh device without root.
[Defy General] krishna.kowshik:
Follow this...( Originally posted by niksy+ in the first post. )

1.Turn off your phone.

2. Hold down Volume Down and Power button for your phone to enter Stock Recovery.

3. Press both Volume buttons at the same time for the options to appear.

4. Do wipe cache.

5. Do wipe data/factory reset.

Bootloop

Mayday... I flashed the BL6Froyo sbf on my defy+, did a factory wipe in stock recovery but now I get a boot loop when trying to bootup. I get the chinese voice, the motorblur logo then reboot...

Any advice please?

EDIT: I pulled the SIM and SD cards from the phone and it then booted normally. I know have froyo CM9 busy booting up :-)
[Defy General] hackergnome:
U have a pm niksy
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
OK... all seams to be working well, using the 030712 Froyo build on my defy+, except the battery (as advised by niksy+)

I made a zip file with the battd and libbatt.so files from a CM9+ zip but the missing link must be in the BL6 Froyo sbf.

What a pity...

niksy+, you mentioned that the only Froyo rom where the battery worked successfully was a MIUI Pickachu build. Didf you ever try flashing a CM9 froyo zip straight from the MIUI build?
[Defy General] niksy+:
I'm answering it at the moment..!

I'm almost sure that I did do that, because those were the only 3 things I used on Froyo (Pikachu MIUI and Froyo CM9 builds by both Quarx and Epsylon), but my battery never worked right on the mentioned CM9 builds :rolleyes: . Why do you ask? I mean, the battery files were replaced when I flashed... I did try replacing the battery in CM9 with the ones from Pikachu MIUI, but that didn't help, either... Sure is a strange thing :eek: .
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
The reason I asked was because I believe the missing link lies in a kernel... I think Pikachu MIUI has its own kernel i.e. overwrites the CM7 kernel and therefore your battery worked. If you then flashed CM9, together with the correct battd and libbatt.so files, it might have worked.

I'm back on GB based CM9 now (FuZZ's latest)
[Defy General] niksy+:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure about the kernel, too. The boot splash image was replaced by MIUI one, that's one proof :) Didn't check the versions, though... Still, like I said, it didn't work :/

I've just read in the Epsylon's CM9 thread that someone managed to load PowerVR libraries on ICS despite the locked bootloader... I have no idea whether that's kernel specific, I sure hope it'll work on Gingerbread, if it's real! Wouldn't want to be stuck with battery maxing at 83%... Although it will probably be worth it, if this turns out to be real :cyclops:
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
Saw that too... we can only hope!
[Defy General] hackergnome:
Can u provide me a fixed sbf?
[Defy General] niksy+:
I'm not sure why would you want a fixed sbf? The Froyo you are on now is BL6 and the Gingerbread sbf you will flash will also be BL6... So..why the need? :)
[Defy General] vaibhav palande:
unusual problem with battery..

This is not exactly a problem.. battery charges to full 100%.. But the voltage is 4311mV.. pretty close to 4320 which is max for defy+ battery.. voltage goes up and down... i tried discharging and charging it again to make sure that it was not only the first time when battery charged to 100%.. and it worked..

But the problem is at 90% the LED which is WHITE while charging turns GREEN showing battery is full..:confused:.. but it is not.. its still charging... What to do to get this thing right??

Here is the screenshot..
[Defy General] ktmbikerman:
That's normal behaviour on all ROMs, charge LED will go green at 90%, just like it goes red below 10%
[Defy General] vaibhav palande:
But at 90% it displays as charged.. still charges further to 100%.. anyway to fix indication??
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
New build from quarx 09.07.2012

I can`t try it my defy+ is in service
[Defy General] niksy+:
Have you had an Android device before? :) Or, for how long have you got your DEFY+? :p

Every device run by Android OS will say that it is charged when it reaches 90% and every will also say that battery is low when it gets below 20%. (the other, low battery notification, can be set to different values (15%, 10%, 5%) in some ROMs). :)

It's not a bug, it's a part of Android OS. If you used Motorola's stock firmware before, it was the same there, you just didn't pay as much attention ;)

*EDIT* Just checked the last page, and yeah, ktmbikerman said the thing and was right, it's just that - the way Android OS works and behaves... Don't worry, there's nothing wrong :) I'ts just saying that it's ready to go ;) Maybe it's even trying to help us make our batteries stay healthier, because as far as I know, these latest generation of batteries can stay healthier for longer if charged before completely drained, instead of going 100% > 0% > 100% > 0%... I can't guarantee for that, though, it's just what I've read (at multiple places! :D ). Once more, don't worry, it's all working right. Ask any buddy's with Android's, they can tell you that theirs work the same way!

Problem with messaging

[Defy General] niksy+:
I think the answer is the same as the previous... The way of the Android. But, in this case, it would be better to save them in individual conversations, as well, since nothing is ever received in those group ones... It's the same on CM9, I can tell you that! Don't remember about stock now :/

[Defy General] pradipsoman:
I got a Defy+ yesterday, rooted and installed C.M 7.2 latest nightly today. I am new to the Defy forum. Have been extremely active on the P500 forum. I have a few tips that can increase the performance of the Defy+ by leaps and bounds! I just experimented with my 145 applications that I had saved from my LGP500 using Titanium and just wanted to see if all those worked on the Defy +. Was surprised to see that except market, and LG keyboard all of them worked!! And two more observations.

1) GO launcher is the fastest for Defy+

2) I restored Go launcher, and used Bladebuddy and Spareparts+ to fine tune the Defy+ and see that it is lightning fast than with the default C.M 7.2 latest nightly!

Just try this combo....
[Defy General] vaibhav palande:
Is there a problem in auto brightness and Brightness of capacitive buttons..

Is there a problem in auto brightness and Brightness of capacitive buttons in latest CM9 by quarx for defy+? cause i m using latest CM7.2 nightly by quarx and there is a problem in auto brightness and brightness of the capacitive buttons. Adjusting the brightness of buttons also doesnt help because it resets once ok is pressed. Are these problems in CM9 also? Is CM9-NIGHTLY-120710-Defy+ stable?
[Defy General] cyrusct82:
Yes
[Defy General] Haluki_BR:
Is there a MIUI GB or MIUI V4 for defy+ or CM9 by quarx is the best option ? Thanks
[Defy General] niksy+:
There are some MIUI builds available for DEFY+ (Gingerbread kernel), but I haven't really tested them. The latest CM9 build is working pretty awesome, just flash it and enjoy :)

On the other hand, I know MIUI v4 is still pretty much a work in progress... Search for XIUI if you really want it, though :) (I remembered that one when it comes to gingerbread kernel, and there were some more, but all based on it, I think... Haven't really followed on that :rolleyes: )
[Defy General] dvdOpulento:
..and which build is better if i'd like to try a stable MIUI on defy+?
[Defy General] niksy+:
I'm sorry, but I can't help you as I haven't tried any of those meant for Gingerbread kernel :(
[Defy General] InsaneMetal:
Guys, I searched the thread and honestly, I couldn't find a post explaining how to root the Defy+. How can I do it? :(

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] neo.ank:
The method depends on your build..What is the build number on your device.
[Defy General] InsaneMetal:
Hey neo, it's 2.3.5...

Also, which version is supposed to run better?

Edit

I'm not sure if that's what you're asking, as you can see I'm a complete noob :/

There also this number: 4.5.2-51_DFL-50
[Defy General] niksy+:
For 2.3.5 just use SuperOneClick! If you read the first post, you would've read that the guide that is currently sticky is a must before anything else ;) You can read the steps to root it in there! :o
[Defy General] InsaneMetal:
Oh I read that thread, the problem is that I don't really understand many things, lol. :p

So is my Android this version?

If I got it right rooting sounds pretty easy... but is there any chance of bricking my Defy+ if I try to install a custom rom?

Thanks for helping this noob! :silly:

EDIT

Have any of you guys seen this?
